WASHINGTON, d. c., March 27.-The
Acknowledgement sent in an opinion to the
Secretary of the Treasury to-day to the
effect that the sinking fund credited to the
Central Pacific Railroad Company and
now in the treasury, amounting to nearly
$6,0Oo,0O0, may be used to reimburse the
Government for 1898 900 paid on January
16 last in the redemption of its bonds
loaned the company in 1865, and that the
sinking fund may also be applied to the
payment of the balance of the interest due
on these bonds, amounting to So, 39S, 122.
In this sinking funds are bonds amounting
to s., 561 900, which, when sold, would in
crease the available cash in the treasury
by that amount plus a considerable pre-
MUM, which will undoubtedly be realized.

Case.

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 27.-Eugene and
Louis Coopers filed an answer to the suit
brought by J. A. Monroe for $1,000 damages

faction had the combination Of the safe,
and in order that the Woodward faction
could secure the accounts of the company,
A. T. Spangenberg, safe expert, was

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 27.-There was
another turn to-day in the contest over
the millions left by the late Edward
Barron, which will tend to delay the dis
tribution of the estate.
When the jury rendered verdict several
weeks ago in favor of George Barron. a
son of the dead millionaire, which virtu-
ally set aside the will that had been made
in favor of the widow, the attorneys for the
widow decided that they would move for a
new trial. In Judge Reynolds court this
morning, n. Bowden appearing for the
Boys and Girls Aid Society, and Judge
McKinstry for the Barron heirs, the motion
for new trial was made. Judge Rey-
nolds then issued the following order:
1t appearing that the executrix, Eva Rose
Barron, the minor children, Edward F., Mar
garet NJ. and Eva R. Barron, and the Boys and
| Girls Aid Society in the contest have filed a
notice OF intention to move for new trial it is
ordered that all proceedings on the verdict be
stayed until the decision on the motion for a
| new trial is decided or until the further order
| Of the court.
Mrs Barron was in court during the pro-
ceedings.
