The Well-Known Firm of James NJ.
Moran g. Co. Opens Up Again.
Friends and customers of the we'll
known dry-goods firm of James M. Moran
& Co. will be glad to learn that they have
passed through their financial embarrass-
ment. Having settled with all their cred
itors Moran d. Co. have resumed business
and are rapidly coming to the front again.
Owing TO the great success of their sale
and the noble manner in whicn their
friends and patrons hocked TO their as
sistance they were enabled in very short
space of time to realize sufficient funds to
make satisfactory settlements with their
creditors and resume business with an
entirely new stock of the latest STYLES in
foreign and domestic dry goods. A great
advantage to have an entirely new stock,
particularly SO at the very low prices pre-
vailing at present. Moran &y Co. have al
ways kept good faith with the buying pub
lie. no Misrepresentation OF their goods
being allowed either in their advertise
ments or by statesmen. The width,
weight, quality and price are always found
IN be just as represented. This policy
Moran & Co. intend 10 continue. whatever

RAILROADS MUST REPORT.

The Interstate Commerce Commis sion
After a Derelict Corporation.
The officials composing the Interstate
Commerce Commission are evidently not
of the material that will stand nonsense
or interference with their official duties
Under an amendment to the law setting
forth the duties of that body is one that it
shall present an annual report to the
authorities in Washington. d. O., state
ment of the working and business of every
railroad in the United States. In order TO
do so the commission is obliged to call
upon every railroad company for report
containing the desired informatio
To this end the commission has pre-
pared blanks for reports to be filled in by
the companies, which are required to
acted, names of officers, stockholders,
shares of stock and by whom held, bonds,
relations to other lines, leased lines, etc.
All of these reports should have been
filed with the commission BY Septem Der Is
last but the Bellingham Bay and British
Columbia Railroad Company (head office
in this City, has neglected, failed or re-
fused to do SO up to the present time.
The case was laid before the United
States Attorney, and yesterday morning
Assistant Attorney Knight presented the
case to Judge McKenna of the United
States Circuit Court i'll the shape of a
petition for writ of mandamus TO COM
pei the derelict company to comply with
the law and furnish the commission with
report. Judge McKenna ordered the
issuance OF an alternate writ which he
made returnable on Decem ber 4.

A good-sized crowd assem- bled to do

COLLINS EXONERATED.
A Jury Finds That He Did Tot Cause
the Death of Mrs. Crow

John Collins, charged with the murder
of Margaret Crowley, was acquitted in
Judge Wallace's court yesterday. After
the testimony for the prosecution was all
in Collins attorney stated to the court
that none of the witnesses had been able
to connect his client with the death of
Mrs. Crowley and as the corpus delcti
had not been proven he asked that the
jury be instructed to acquit.
In order to strengthen this position
Collins was put on the witness-stand, and
told straight story of the alleged assault
on Mrs. Crowley. He admitted that he
slapped the face of Mrs. Crowley's daugh-
ter, and that when Mrs. Crowley ap-
preached him he put up his open hand to
ward her off, and that she fell to the floor,
but denied that he used any violence.
The autopsy disclosed the fact that the
woman died of peritonitis several days
later, and medical experts gave it as heir
opinion that peritonitis could not have
been superinduced by Mrs. Crowley's
fall, as it had been described by the wit
nesses.
Deputy District Attorney Hinkle said he
found it impossible TO connect Collins
with the death of Mrs Crowley, and asked
the court to instruct the jury to render a
verdict of not guilty, which was DONE and
Collins walked from the courtroom free
man.
