NOT AT COOPER COLLEGE

San Francisco, Sept. $50 far as the
prosecution in the Durrant case has ex-
posed its hand, 1t claims to be able to
rrove that Durrant was not at the Cooper
Medical College between 1 and o'clock
on the afternoon of April 8. but that he
was seen on Powell street a few min
utes later. There is no proof that he
attended the lecture except the record
taken in the confusion of the classroom.
He, was not in his own seat at that lee
ture which was unusual, as every stu
dent has a special seat assigned to him.
A week later he asked fellow student
to be allowed to look at his notes Of this
lecture that he might be prepared for
examination. No one saw him at the
lecture, and he was present once before
when he did not attend.

passed up Bartlett street, to visit Eman-

says She saw Durrant enter the church

Northern Pacific Affairs are
Much Complicated.
THEY LAUGH AT HILLS PLAN
Eastern Lawyers Say That the
PearSall Suit Scheme Will
Not Work.

Tacoma, Sept. 5.-tI is becoming appar-
ent that the greatest fight over the Nor
thern Pacific receivership matters is yet
to come.
1t will be inaugurated either on October
2, or before that date. 1t is considered
quite possible here that the receivers
or the Farmers Loan and Trust Co., as
trustee, will spring some surprise at Mil
waukee or st. Paul between now ana
October 2. A prominent man in the coun-
ellis of the receivership party says that
as things now stand some highly inter-
esting complications are likely to ensue.
Shortly after the receivers were appoint
ed Judge Caldwell, of the Eighth Cir
cult directed the receivers to file their
accounts with Judge jenkins, his being
the court Of original jurisdiction. 1t is
claimed that Judge Hanford's order re-
garding the filing of accounts is in con-
flict with Judge Caldwells order, at least
so far as 1t affects the accounts of prop
erty not within Judge Hanforl's juris-
diction. Complications are expected to
ensue If Judge Hanford after the ac-
counts are rendered, takes any action at
variance with the actions of the eastern
circuit courts
The belief Is also expressed that il
Judge Hanford Gusts the receivers and
appoints new ones the road will be in
charge of several sets of receivers; in
other words, that the eastern circuit
courts are at least as likely to retain
the present receivers as they are to oust
them.
Close friends of the receivers here de-
clare that Messrs. Oakes, Rouse and
Payne are all opposed to the proposed
consolidation of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern, They assert that
the presidents statement that the pro-
posed deal is yet likely to be carried out,
expresses chiefly his own wish, and that
the consolidation plan has been practi-
cally given up by the Adams committee.

Range Higher Than French Products.
London, Aug. 3O.-There was a larger
crowd than usual in attendance upon tho
sale of California fruit at Covent Gar
den yesterday. The steamship New York
brought over $500 cases of pears, $3.50
boxes of peaches and $50 boxes of p.ums.
This fruit was delivered in London at
o'clock in the morning. The packages
bore the stamp of the California Fruit
company, Before the auction a rumor
prevailed that the pears were in bad
condition and in consequence when the
first lot, thirty-siX half cases, packed by
j. Granderson of Riverside, CAL, was
shown there were no takers. Subsequent
ly thirty-four half cases of Bartlett pears
fetched 5s sd, From this prices varied
to 6s.
All OF the boxes Of Bartletts brought
small bids and the auctioneer finally
withdrew them from sale. He said he
would not sell at less than 14s., but he
finally accepted 12s., which was the high
est price received. One lot sold for Is

The $3.50 half cases Of peaches sod

brought 5s. The entire lot averaged 5s

appearance. This lot fetched Gs. One

Castle brought the same price.
The auctioneer announced that 1876 cases
were badly damaged. These comprises
peaches, pears and plums. He said he
would only sell these in bulk. The entire
lot fetched rs Cd. Several dealers said
that half cases of pears were more de-
sirable for profit than whole cases.
A prominent dealer said the fruit could
not have come into the country at a
worse time because the market is glutted
with French and English fruits. Never
theless the American fruits averaged a
shilling a boz better than the French
fruits sold during the week, and about
25 per cent higher than the English fruits
in the market. About 500 cases of pears
withdrawn on account Of the low bids
