though many are doubtless waiting the
vote before borrowing. the volume Of
business through clearing houses Is SIS per
cent larger than last year and 154 per
cent. larger than IN 1892. While political
doubts may count for much, they can only
have prevented a growth of business which
might have been much more than has been
realized. Failure returns for October ara
curi0usiy puzzling because. while the small
failures compare remarkably well with
those Of previous years, and also the fall
nres Of 100000 or more in about two-thirds

failures Ia a few branches, not generally
due to present business conditions. which

The Investigation Into the Court
House Furniture Contract.
EXPERTS ARE GOING TO DISAGREE.
for the Federal ccurt-Court
of Appeals.

Galveston. Texas, October 4--The invos-
legation into the court house furniture con.
tract progressed far enough yesterday after
noon to indicate that ON tho part OF the
prosecution experts will swear that the
county Is to pay an exorhitant price for
the material, while, on the part Of the de-
tcnse an expert from the Fenton Metallic
Furniture company viii testify 20 Just the
opposite. The testimony yiven Yesterday
went to show that there was considerable
looseness in the giving OF the contract. Ac-
cording 10 Commissioner Barnes they
trusted implicitly in the contractor be-
Loving ho would not give the worst OF
IL" to the county. There Sas some inter-
csing testimony as 10 how contractors
put up Jobs" on the people and how they
pool issues 30 "a 10 make a mochery OF
competition, MIR. Barnes voluntarily made
q Abatement abou, $4,000 he had IN his pos
sessi0n when coming over from New Or
leans February si-35 az was ON the latter
day tho CONTRACT for she furniture WAS
given TO Mr.. ruwers.) Mr. Barnes OK
planned that he got this money as tho re-
suit OF the sale Of some property he owns
and Ae exhibited note for u balance still
due on the same transaction. MIR Barnes
made this statement TO forestall MIR. Love
ing TO question him as TO a deposit Of
$4,000 he made In the Rosenberg bank on
February 20. and he determined to have his
say first.
Several times durng the investigation
there were evidences o. III temper, There
were also several occasions when the pat
tict wandered FAR away from the subject
u der Investigation and invaded the realm
OF politics or OF personalities. MIR. Lev,
lectured the gentlemen IN lively ssNle fo'
this, but tho lecture didn't do IA much
good as might be- expected.
