AT an early day in the history of
railroad receiverships the prevailing
idea was that the principal object of
such receiverships was to relieve the
railroad company from it's debts and
liabilities incurred in the operation of
the road. and to have it operated by a
court, for whose torts and negligence
the trust fund would not be liable.
Under the early practice a railroad re-
ownership was very desirable thing
for the railroad company and its bond
holders.
"The court appointing receiver
cannot, of course, permit any other
jurisdiction to interfere with it's pos
session of the property. or control its
administration of the fund; but, in the
case Of long lines of railroad, the ques-
ton of the legal liability of it's receiver
to the demands of the citizens, grow
ing out of the operation of the road,
should be RENTED to the tribunals that
would have jurisdiction if the contro-
versy had arisen between the citizen
and the railroad company; giving to
the citizen the option of seeking his
redress in such tribunals, or by inter
vention in the court appointing the
receiver.

employees in it's service the principles
Of the early statutes, which,, by the
imposition of heavy pains and penal
ties, forced laborers to work at fixed
wages, and made it an offence to seek

punishment for crime, has passed in
this country.

ayers of this property to say that they

YOUNG GIRL MI RDERED.
Body of Pearl Morrison Found in a
Deserted House Near Crys-
tai Falls, Mich.

Iron Mountain, Mich, July 26--Irfor-
nation has reached here of the murder
Of Pearl Morrison, aged 20 years, at
Crystal Falls. The body was found near
a powderhOuse about a mile from town
and a medical examination proved she
had been assaulted and then strangled to
death. A man named Barney Boyle, and
a stranger, who was unable to give a
good account of himself, have been
locked up. The murdered girl is u niece
of Representative Chamberlain of Iron
wood.
Miss Morrison was one of the most
highly esteemed young ladies in the town.
Miss Morrison had spent the afternoon
visiting friends at Great Western mine
location and left the residence of the
Misses Brooks at about ) o'clock to return
home, but the girl never reached there.
Three large searching parties were organ
lied. When found the poor girls face was
badly battered and her throat showed the
finger marks of the fend who strangled
her.
The body was discovered by a tramp
who gave his name as Peter Bunce, and
claims to hail from nowhere in particular.
Suspicion points strongly to him as the
murderer. Should this prove to be the
case the county will be spared the eX
pense of a trial, as the citizens are worked
up to such pitch that a rope and a con-
venient tree will mark the ending of the
life of Peter Bunce.

Famous Inca Fields of Peru.

San Francisco, Cal, July 26.-Reccnt
advices from Peru, which have been con-
frmed by G.. De Moranda, a petroleum
magnate, now in this city, state that tie
wonderful strikes reported from TIE
Klondyke region have been totally
eclipsed by fabulous discoveries of gold
in the South American republic.
In an interview Mr.. Moranda said that
there is no longer any doubt that the
famous Inca gold fields, which have been
considered as myths among the inteili-
gent people of Peru. have at last been
discovered. The location of the newly
discovered bonanza is in the departments
of Cuzco and Puma, in the eastern border
of the country, which have long been IA
nous for their richness in precious met
ais.
Among the successful prospectors in
this new field is a Californian named
Hardison. who left San Francisco six
years ago in search OF petroleum and
penetrated into the interior. In June
last he took out of one of his many
claims 279 pounds of gold, and many
Englshmen are reported to have been

The University of Virginia has never

paper reported that Gen. Lee. now con
sul-general at Havana, would be sounded
as to whether he would accept the post.
1t is altogether probable that there is no
authority for this statement. and it can
not be learned that he is even being con-
