''To find Miss Patten," smiled Oliver

she followed carrying the dog. and the
small audience of train men looked
after her in open approval.
"To find Miss Patten, of course"
"On, goodnessl I wish we could"

The Julesburx Cut-On.

Receiver Frank Trumbull of the
Gulf road and General Manager Dick
inson of the Union Pacific completed
their conference on Monday regarding
the management of the joint yards at
Denver and the operation of the jules
burg branch As to the latter the
Gulf road will take the Union Pacific
trains at Julesbnrg and work them to
Denver on mileage basis, as was sug-
gested in the trial Of the Gulf case
before Judges Caldwell and Sanborn
last week.
The Gulf system will be held re-
sponsible for the trains after leaving
julesburg and on their return from
Denver. The crews and engines from
Julesburg to Denver and return will
be in the employ of the Gulf system
and their joint operation will be paid
for as above stated.
Switching in the Denver yards and
other detail features have all been
amicably adjusted, and Joint contract
has been agreed upon, less onerous to
the Union Pacific than if the old con
tract had been held good by the Cir
cult Court, sitting in equity in the

The new board appealed Thursday
to Judge Glynn for an order restrain
ing the old board from acting, and he
granted it. Orr and Martin refused
to obey and will be called up to an
swer for contempt. They claim that
the injunction Of Judge Glynn was in
operative because of that Of Judge
Allen issued the day before. The
Barnes and Mullins lawyers claim
that Judge Glynn's injunction was a
continuation of the former proceed
ings in his court and takes precedence
over the action of Judge Allen.

AGAINST THE GULF ROAD.

Judge Caldwell and s..bers Decide shat
ths Union Pacific Need not Use
the Juissburg cut-OG
Judges Caldwell and Sanborn OF the
United States Circuit Court have de-
cided the famous Union Paci6c-Gulf
case against the Gulf road.
The court holds that the Union Pa
citic is not compelled to operate the
Julesburg branch to Denver, but says
the receivers must take into considers
ton the demands of the public and by
a conference agree on some basis by
which the people may be properly
served.
On the great bone of contention, the
interest question, the court holds that
special findings are necessary before a
decision can be reached. Accordingly
William d. Cornish of St, Paul is ap-
pointed special master in chancery
TO hear the matters in dispute, make
accountings and report the findings to
the Circuit Court of Nebraska.
The judges also hold that the Fed
eral Court for the Nebraska district is
the court of primary jurisdiction in
matters pertaining to the Union Pa
cifc, and that, instead of applying to
Judge Hallett, Receiver Trumbull of
the Gulf road, should come before
Judge Dundy
Continuing, the court says: The
court is not bound to pay the debts
nor to perform the obligations of the
insolyent, nor are its receivers. No
one ever contends that the obliga-
tions of the insolvent corporation are
assumed by its receivers. The only
difference between the liability Of
such receivers to pay the debts and to
perform the c1ecutory contracts of an
insolvent corporation is that the con-
sideration of the former is generally
received by the insolvent, while the
consideration of the latter may be OBJ
tanned by the receivers, and if, after
an unreasonable length of time they ac-
cept the benefits, they may thereby
assume the liabilities Of such con
tracts

SAMOAN ItehclIioua,

Advices from Samoa state that there
has been serious trouble there.
The outbreak was caused by the ac
tion of Henry lde, the American CHIEF
justice, who succeeded Chief Justice
Cedercrantz on September 6, 1892.
Chief Justice 1de is charged with fin
ing and throwing into jail the chiefs
of the rival factions in Samoa and with
compelling them to work ON the roads
like conyicts of the lowest order.
The natives protested strongly and
made all kinds of threats and eventu-
ally broke out into armed rebellion.
The followers of the native chiefs dis
puted the right of the Europeans to
interfere in what they classed as pure
ly native affairs.
Justice Ide called on Maletoa to en-
force his orders and battle resulted
in which thirty men, mostly rebels,
were killed When the steamer left
the rebels were being whipped. Ma

Figures In the Pollard Trial.

Judge Bradley, Col. Breckenridge
and Judge Wilson, three of the CON
spicuous figures in the Pollard case
being tried at Washington all belong
to the same church Calderon Car
Isle is Catholic The exciting event
in the Breckenridge trial, the climax
of interest, will come when Judge
Wilson undertakes the cross-examina-
tion of the defendant All who have
watched his career must recognize Col
Breckenridge as very remarkable
man. His ability as debater is
equalled by only two members of the
House Of Representatives Reed
and Mr.. Cochran. His self control
and audacity have been demonstrated
by the brazen manner in which he has
faced the shameful disclosures of his
private life, and his skill in the exam
ination of witnesses and the exchange
of repartee has been exhibited again
and again both in Washington and
Kentucky.
Judge Jeremiah NJ. Wilson, leading
counsel for Miss Pollard, came to
Congress from Connersville, Indiana,
twenty five years ago, and remained
there in the practice of law at the ex.
piration of his congressional career

A serious state Of aHairs exists in
South Carolina ~ result Of the de
termined efforts of Governor Tillmar
to enforce the new dispensary law, un
der which oil liquor is to be sold BY
the state. A large number Of specia
constables act as spies to detect viola
tions Of the law, and the people have
become incensed against them.
At Darlington fight occurred on
Friday, at the depot Us body Of
armed spies were leaving the town.
In the fight Frank f. Normant, q
prominent young insurance man, and a
man named Redmond, from North
Carolina, md Constables McLemon
and Pepper were killed outright.
When Governor Tillman received
the news hasty conference was held
with adjutant general Farley, a special
train was ordered and the three local
militia companies were ordered to as
semble at their armorics.
Colonel Wylie Jones Of the Palmet-
to regiment, was ordered at 3 O. clock
by the governor to proceed with troops
to Darlington. 1t at once became a
question whether the militiamen, all
sympa,hizers with Darlington, would
go.
The members of the Columbia Zou-
aves and Governor Guards assembled
at their respective armories but re-
fused to go to Darlington, declaring
they would disband first.
Three companies at Columbia dis
banded.
Governor Tillman having failed to
get the Columbia militia to go he or
dered out the Charleston militia. This
created great excitement in that city,
and it is not probable that the Charles
ton troops will go.
Adjutant General Farley left on
special train for Darlington at 10
o'clock at night. The light infantry
of Sumpter have refused to go to Oar
lington, but Farley wi be Joined by
the Guards of Manning. Its suspect
ed that the enraged people of Darling
ton are determined upon exterminat-
ing the spies and they are bound to be
interfered with by the militia.

The naval officer who had charge
OF the Kearsarge admits now that he
did not take observations himself for
a day or two before the wreck. but
made his calculations on observa-
tions taken by naval cadet. He had
not seen any service for seven years
before being assigned TO duty as
commanding ofiicer OF this ship.
Thus the system Of tavoritism, which
gives long shore duty to favored off,
GERS, is doubtless responsible for the
loss of vessel valuable in itself and
still richer in historical associations.
