Have Settled Its MAIN festnros.
The main features OF the scheme for the re-
organization Of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad Company are about settled and the
Joint Executive Committee is now at work ON
the details. As soon as the plan is complete, 10
will be submitted to the General Reorganization
Committee here and TO the London and Amster-
dam committees for approval. II no changes
demanded by these committees tho plan
will probably be officially announced In abous
ten days.
1t Is understood that in the modified plA5
holders OF the Atchison As will be asked to fund
their coupons for two years into preferred
stock or an income bond, and will not be asked
to accept n lower rate Of interest than their
bonds now bear. 1t Is said that the second mort
gage bondholders will be asked to contribute
some cash. as II is not thought than an assess.
ment larger than Sl2 share can be collected
from the stockholders Some OF the large STOCK.
holders contend that their money was taken
by the old management to pay fnterese
on the second mortgage or income bonds
and insist that these bonds must take their
share of tho burden now. preferred stock or
an income bond will be given for the assessment.
The important subsidiary lines such as the
Atlantic and Pacific and Colorado Midland viii
be kept In the system II this can be done on
equitable terms. In dealing with some Of these
the question OF the probable cost of duplicating
them will have an important bearing.

SAYS KALB rs sHAMMING.
A CoiamSas. o., Physieian Testiass that .
Murderer h Prstsadiax Insanity.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. e6.-Dr. e. J. Wilson this
afternoon testified in the lunacy inquiry of
George Kalb. the wife murderer. that the pris-
oner Is sane. He said that he had visited the
Jail to see Kalb two or three times day since
last Saturday. On some OF these occasions KAlb
was made aware OF the Doctors presence, but on
others the matter was kept secret When Kalb
knew the Doctor was watching him he played
the insane dodge To perfection. but at the other
times he acted as rational as any man.
The Doctor became convinced from these ex-
periments that Kalb was simply playing the in
sanity role. and yesterday afternoon accused
Kalb weakened and began crying. and said he
was in trouble and every body was against him.
DIR. Wilson said he had no longer any doubt
but that KAlb was sane. This corroborates
the testimony OF the Jailer. who testified that
the prisoner showed no signs OF insanity until
his attorneys and their physicians had visited
him several times-

TRINIrY,s CHIMES TO RING.
Dr. DIE 60 Let Then Welcome the New
Year O. Monday Night, as Usual.


The crowd which gathers each New Years
eve In lower Broadway TO hear the ring
ing of the Trinity Church chimes will not be dis
appointed this year. Last year. for the first time
in over a generation. the old bells were silent at
the entrance Of the New Year. Although It had
been announced that DIR. Dix had ordered that
the chimes should not be rung, thousands OF
persons gathered about the church shortly be-
fore midnight on Dec 81. In explaining his
action, DR. Dix said that so many persons
companied the ringing of the chimes with un-
couth noises that he had decided to forego the
old-time custom. The crowd which was dsap-
pointed made trlfe more noise than usual.
Perhaps IL is for that reason that the chimes
will be heard this year AT any rate. Superin-
tendent Byrnes has promised TO do all In his
power to preserve order. and DR.. Dix said yes
terday that he han directed that the chimes be
rung. beginning at llIS o'clock on Monday
night.
There are probably many persons" said he.
who have year after year Journeyed TO this
lower part of the city 10 hear tho chimes ring in
the new year. Last year It became necessary TO
disappoint them. but on Monday night the old
custom will bo taken up again"

A New White Metal.

A man who had been chopping wood
for a number of years in Pine Nut
district has found a new metal. His
stone oven having been burnt out, he
took some clay from a large deposit he
knew of lei by, and mixing it with a
little water, made a back, built a fire
in his stove, and paid no more atten-
ton to it until next morning, and
then he noticed his stove back was all
gone, and in the ashes he found a
white, clear metal with scarcely any
weight to it.
It would not break, SO he put it on
an old anvil outside the cabin and hit
it with q heavy hammer. It would
draw out, but neither crack nor break.
He has since experimental with it in
varioue ways. The clay will melt like
lead, but The metal produced will
stand a heat like iron or steel ana is
very flexible.
He beat out a piece four inches
thick, six inches wide and eleven inches
long. The block is transparent, and
only weighs nine ounces He sayi
there is no limit to the clay, as he has
g the am kind in several parts OF
this and other States. He will melt
ont a block two feet square and have
it at the Midwinter Fair for people to
see. Carson (Nev.) Appeal.

HOTBED MAKING.

The work of selecting the place for
the hotbed and cold-frames for start
ing early seeds should not be post.
poned any longer. It takes some time
to make the beds and fill them with
the right soil. The farmer who does
not make use of frames for starting
his garden vegetables ought not be
classed among progressive farmers.
The seasons are too short for lis to wait
until spring before sowing our seeds.
By the time the ground is ready for
sowing our garden plants are several
inches high, and by transplanting them
from the frames to the open ground
We ave a month or more. In this
way raising two good crops in one sea-
son on one piece of ground Is maAe
easy. The early plants are also the
ones that bring the most money, and
those raised in the frames always bring
in more returns to the farmer than the
ones sown in the open ground during
April and May. Many prefer the
plants grown in frames first to those
planted later in the field, IS they have
stronger roots and stalks, making it
possible for them to resist dry weather.
The hotbeds should be constructed
right away, for there are some slow
terminating seeds that ought to be put
in the ground very early. It takes
time to gather and mix the right soil
for the beds, and there will be many
days when the ground will be frozen
too hard to dig any soil for the beds.

Two Bills Alike.

Young Henry Miller, of New York,
got q bonanza when he was paid off
the other day. His wages were given
to him in the shape of eight new IS
bills. He put them in his pocket, and
some time a~fterward, when he took
them out to examine them he dis.
covered that two of them we're ex-
actly alike. The numbers of both
were the same. This gives them great
value from a collectors point of view.
The bills were printed by the Govern
ment and issued by the Southern
National Bank of New York. The
Government number on each is r
476, 321 The bank number is 1859.
and the consecutive bank number
TO- 1888. When the exact similarity Of
the bills was noticed it was supposed
that one was a counterfeit. Close
examination showed it was not. The
signatures on both bills are genuine.
Plainly there was an error. MI.
Miller says that several banks have
offered him q large sum Of money COR
the bills, and that the Southern
National Bank told him he could fix
his own price and they would nsr-
chase. He says he will hold the bills.
