POSTAL TELEGRAPH WINS SUIT.
Permitted to Cross Wires and Have
 Right of Way Privileges.

Anderson, Ind, Dec 30.-A most far reaching and an entirely new decision relative to common carriers was hand ed down by Judge Mcclure last even ing in favor of the Postal Telegraph company and against the Big Four railroad and indirectly the Western Union Telegraph company.
 Under an old section of a law enact ed during the war of 1861 regulating common carriers the Postal Teleg apb brought suit against the Big Four in order to get into the gas belt with their lines. The Western Union refused to allow them to cross their right of way along railroads. The Postal demanded this privilege and under the old section also demanded use of railroad rights of way over the Big Four into this city and from here to the Ohio line.
 The decision grants them the right to construct lines on the Big Four line of way, cross all wires as they see nee essary and appoints an appraisemeni committee to schedule the damages This point has never before been ruled on. The case will be appealed to the supreme court.

 Before he was arraigned Krebs was taken to police headquarters, and one of the detectives identified him as a man who was arrested on December { for an attempt TO pick pockets and for iostling women in the Eden Musee. Krebs told Captain McClusky at first that he had only been in this country one year from Saxony. Captain Nc Clusky let him tell his story, and then confronted him with his own picture, from the rogues' gallery.
 When Krebs was taken back to the police court he denied the charge against him and was held in $1,000 bail for trial.

 These efforts in her weakened state were soon followed by lethargy and the young woman again sank into the deathlike trance which has claimed her senses and bound her body since July. The conductors of the experf- ment, however, believe that further ap- plication will effect cure. The treat ment applied is known as suggestive therapeutics.
 Miss Brocheits case has baffled the skill of number of physicians. She retired to her room on the night of July 23Ssfn seeming good health. On the fol- lowing morning it was found impossl- ble to arouse her and she has since lain in a stuDor, without speaking or nov ing. Life is maintained by liquid foods and the patient is in a fairly good state of nutrition.
 Her disease is known as katalonia, an affection of the nerves. Dr. F. w.. Becker, who has had charge of the case, is skeptical of the alleged result of the hypnotic treatment. He says the pa tient is improving steadily under his care, but he is confident that she did not move or speak under the appllca- tion of hypnotism.

BANKS EXPANDING.
The War Does Not Decrease the
Volume of Business Through
out the Country.

Washington, D. c., July 2.-Mr.
Dawes, the comptroller of the currency,
has made the following statement regard
ing the general condition of national
banks at the close Of the fiscal year:
The past year has been one of growth
and expansion in the business of the ma
tional banks of the country as reports of
their present condition compared with
former reports, clearly indicate. The in
didual deposits Of the banks which, on
July %, 1897. were $1,770, 4S0,5
reached on May 5, 1898, the sumo of ST.
999, 30S, 43S, and the five statements called
for during the past year show that the
rate of gain was quite uniform. The dec
laration of war did not stop this gain, the
increase between February ID and May
5 Of this year being $16,647 sos; and the
individual deposits of the national banks
of the United States now stand at the
highest point in the history of the system.
The expansion in loans since May Il,
1897, has been SIP, POS, 800.
The concurrent expansion in the loans
and individual deposits Of our banking
system is the best possible evidence of
growing confidence in the business and
banking world. lncrea sing deposits with
contra citing loans, or decreasing deposits
with increasing loans, are conditions
