County Line.

The Rio Grande county COM
mlssioncrs were here last Thursday
and met the Saguachc county board.
They presented n proposition to
settle the line case by this county
giving up all claims to the Meyers
creek territory and pay half the cost
of tho litigation. This proposal
met with prompt refusal. 1t is
practically the offer this county
made Rio Grandc before the large
expense of the late trial had been
incurred. Our commissioners Of
fcrcd to cctic Meyers creek country
to Rio Granle on condition that
Rio Grande pay nll costs Of suit
and also pay to this county every
dollar it has expended by reason of
this litigation. They went home
thinking about it. The chances of
Rio Grande securing u reversal of
Judge Northcutt's decision are
about one in u hundred. RIO
Grande has no case in equity and
II may dawn on them that they
have no case at law. After set.
tling this matter years ago they
now seek to come in and get nnoth-

SHORTAGE Is ENORMOUS.
Startling Developments In Connection with
the DefalcatiOn of a Cashier.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 27.-IIarry A.
Cassin, the cashier Of the Georgia Saw
ings, Loan & Banking Co., who yester-
day confessed to being defaulter to
the extent of S45, 900, and whose friends
had agreed to pay up his shortage to
keep him out Of Jail, is behind the bars
of Fulton prison. At a meeting Of the
board Of directors of the institution
which was robbed, brief examination
of the books was made and resulted In
the astonishing discoverythat the bank,
which was supposed to be one Of the
most prosperous in the state, had hard
ly cents worth of assets. Instead of
the shortage being $4,000, 1t will be
several times that sum, and instead of
young Cassin being the bearer Of the
entire guilt, 1t Is now believed that at
least one other prominent official will
share cell with him.

NO FAvORS TO NASHVILLE.
Western Passenger Lines VIII Make tho
Exposition City Only Tourist Point.

CHICAGO, April 24.-General passen-
ger agents Of the western roads do not
expect any great amount Of travel from
western territory to the Nashville ex.
position. They had the question OF
rates for that event before them yes
terday. The managers Of the EXPOSE
ton had asked them to make q rate
OF so per cent. Of the one-way fare
for the round trip. That would have
been on the basis Of about one cent.
per mile. The roads refused TO make
anything like SO low rate. The ex.
perience they had with the Atlanta
exposition convinced them that the
travel to the exposition from western
territory could not be materially slim
ulated by low rates, the making Of
which would but afford the means Of
manipulating one-way regular busi-
ness They, therefore, only granted Q
fare OF so per cent Of regular rates.

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
A London Train Blown Up and Ten People
Probably Killed,

Probably Killed.
LONDON, April a7.--A tremendous ex-
plosion occurred on the underground
railway yesterday as train filled with
men from the city was making its usu-
al stop at Aldersgate station. The
glass roof Of the station was blown
out and the platform was strewn
with debris. Many Of the gas lights
in the waiting rooms and ON the plat
form were extinguished, and the sta
ton was left in semi.darkness A gen.
eral panic ensued. When comparative
quiet had been restored it was found
that first-class coach had been COM
pletely wrecked and that its occupants
were lying about MANNED and bleed
ing. Ten Of the injured were found to
be in a precarious condition. A num-
Der of persons who were standing on
the platforms were also hurt. The
cause of the explosion is not known, but
1t is believed to have been the result Of
an accumulation of gas which became
ignited in some way. Many persons,
however, believe that the disaster was
not due to accident, but was caused by
the explosion of a bomb which had
been placed in the station with the in
tention of wrecking it,

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The United
States supreme court has decided case
involving claim for damages for kill
ing a dog, which had made its way
from the lower courts Of New Orleans
through the various phases of litiga-
ton to be finally decided here in oppo.
sition 10 the claim. The case turned
upon the validity of an act Of the
Louisiana legislature recognizing dogs
rs personal property only when placed
upon the assessment rolls In this
case the dog was not assessed. Justice
Brown delivered the opinion of the
court, sustaining the constitutionality
OF the law and refusing damages.
Justice Brown laid down the law in
regard to dogs in the following terms:
The very fact that they are without protec-
tlon Of the criminal laws shows that property
In dogs Is Of On imperfect or qualified nature,

Information from Leading Dealers
TOPEKA, Kan, April sL-Railroad
Commissioner Campbell has addressed
a circular letter to about hundred OF
the leading grain men in the state ask
ing them to give their views on matters
pertaining tograin rates. MrCampbell
said that the letters were sent out for
the purpose of securing as much infor-
nation as possible for the board before
the conference is held with the rail
road representatives. He said If the
railroads accepted the invitation ex-
tended to them to meet the board the
conference would be held within the
next month. Western Kansas stock
men are not clamoring for lower
grain rate. They would favor high
err one. They say that II lower rate
is put into effect II will take all the
corn out of their country and they
want 1t there to feed.
