HOLLAND sURRENDERs.
He Prefers This Course to the Anx-
ieties of Flight.

Charlotte, N. c., April 29-Another chap
ter in the j. r. Holland defalcation has
been recorded. For a week past the ex-
cashier of the Merchants and Farmers
National Bank has been missing. Tele-
grams describing him had been sent to
all parts of the country, and the bank
had offered 1000 reward for his arrest
The consensus OF opinion however, was
that the defaulter was hiding iii the city,
and this proved 10 be true. Late last
night he sent from his hiding place for
his brother-in-law, W. -. Shaw, and the
two proceeded through the deserted
streets OF the city during a dreary, steady
downpour of rain to the residence of the
banks president, DR.. j. II. McAden,
where the ex-cashier declared hts inten-
tion OF surrendering himself 10 the author
tiles, preferring this course to the ankle
ties consequent upon an attempt to es-
cape justice by flight.
Holland, his brother-in-law, and the
bank president then proceeded TO the
house of United States Commissioner d.
whom Holland told his intention Of sur
rendering himself. The commissioner
then proceeded with Mr.. Holland and Mr..
Shaw to the county jail, where he was
made comfortable in the corridor by the
sheriff, who did not think It necessary to
lock him yp in cell.
The preliminary trial was to have been
held to-day, but United States District
Attorney r. B. Glenn not having arrived
until late tonight, 1t was postponed until
tomorrow. An effort is making among
Mr.. Hollands 8 friends 10 furnish bail for
him. 1t Is rumored tonight that twenty
five or thirty have declared their willing
ness to go on the ex-cashier's bond. II is
now thought his defalcations are more
than $4,000. Bank Examiner Miller Is
still at work with the banks books.

Washington, April pa case involving
an important question Of the application
of railroad rates was decided by the su-
preme court to-day in an opinion rem
dered by Mr.. Justice Brewer. 1t came

error from the court of Milan county

but settings the principle at stake made
il notable. 1t was the case of the Gulf
Colorado and Santa. Fe Railroad Company
VS. Heffiey and Lewis. Disposing of the
case Justice Brewer said that statute
OF Texas requiring railroad companies to
deliver freight at the price named in the
bill of lading, under penalty OF damages
prescribed in the law, was inapplicable to
interstate shipments since the passage or
the interstate commerce law, which for
bids railroad companies to charge, collect
or receive for freight on such shipment
any other. either greater or less, sum than
that named in the tariffs which they were
required to publish. The state statute
can apply only TO shipments wholly with
in the state. The judgment of the coun-
ty court was reversed and the case re-
manded for further proceedings in con-
formity to the application.
