Attorney B. w. Mcintosh was ad- judged guilty of contempt of court yes terday by Judge Cook, and he was sen fenced to five days in the County Jail and to pay a fine of $500. The charge against the attorney was that he was negotiating to sell a confession pur- Erted to have been made by his client, Albert Hoff, who is on trial for his life before Judge Cook. Attorney E. B. Raymond who was associated with Me Intosh in an attempt to dispose of the confession they alleged to have secured from the accused murderer was con sidered equally guilty with Mcintosh in the contempt charge, but as he can not be found he has so far escaped the Judgment of the court, but proceedings of disbarment will be instituted against him, and if he does not suffer for con- tempt he will in all probability be pro- hibitcd from practicing his profession in this State. Mir. Mcintosh will not altogether escaDe with the punishment of imprisonment and the payment Of a fine, but his conduct will be called to the attention of the Bar Association. and he will join Raymond in being busted from the practice of law in Cali fornia.
 Judge Cook in giving his judgment said:
 The respondent in this proceeding has been acting as one of Hons attorneys. The evidence shows that some suggestion of confession was made to Hoff by a

Western Railroad Properties.

1t is hard for an eastern investor,
who has not been in the West. to ap-
preciate the enormous strides which
western railway properties have made
during the past year. Nearly every
line tells the same story. Take Bur-
lingtOn, for example with It's ex-
penditure of over 81 600, 900 for i'm
provements and new equipment, all of
which has been charged to operating
expenses. Then turn to the Atchi eon,
Topeka & Santa Fe and the Union Pa
ciflc. The Atchison is now double
tracking about 100 miles of its line in
Kansas in order to handle the glut
of freight which the management is
wrestling with. Old wooden bridges
have been replaced by iron and stone
structures, and miles upon miles of
the line. These roads have been purg-
ed by bankruptcy and American rail-
way managers taught lesson which
will not soon be forgotten.
These new conditions must appeal to
investors both here and in Europe.
Perhaps the best feature of the situa-
ton is that the securities which have
been recently picked up in the market
have gone into the hands OF Americans.
Europe no longer holds a club over the
trade of this country. consisting of
millions of securities. There still is a
great mass OF American stocks held
abroad, but it is less than one-quarter
of the amount owned in Europe five, or
even ten, years ago. Now. if foreign
investors take up American shares,
they must pray the present high
prices. Already there are signs of a
growing demand from abroad, every
share of which will swell the tide of
gold, which must ultimately flow this
| way--Fxchange.

The Spell Is Past.

The G.. II. inspection party, headed
by Manager Van Week, pulled into the
G.. II. yards at exactly 4:45 yesterday
afternoon. The train was brought to
standstill at the road crossing east OF
the G. b. roundhouse and the annual
INSPECTION party, consisting of fifteen
frst-class railroad men, left the train
and the work of thoroughly inspecting
the G. FL. property began. The party
first entered the round house and from
there went to the blacksmith shop
and from thereto the machine shop.
Everything was shining aud the
faces of the inspectors beamed with de-
light. Not tool was misplaced and
everything went to prove that cleanl1-
ness was well preserved. From there
the party passed out through the en-
CINE room into the yard
office and from there on
to Mr.. McCarthy's department in the
freight office. On all sides the inspec-
tors found things in perfect condition,
and they,proceeded to Superintendent
Martins office and completed their
work They have been on the road
between here and New Orleans for the
past ten days and were thoroughly
tired last evening.
The train consisted of two coaches, a
Pullman, and private car, San ia
cinto." This car was equipped with a
pilot and was run all the way here
ahead of the engine so the inspection
party could get good view OF the
track.
The special train has been abandoned

In Hard Luck.

The Houston Post gives the follow
ing account of an amusing mistake by
which an interesting program Tell
through. The inhabitants Of small
town had made great preparations TO
entertain the G. II. inspection party,
but the committee arrived at the depot
a half hour after the train had passed
through. The citizens then resolved
to entertain the party on its return,
but. sad to say, the party dlsbandeo at
this end of the line and the people OF
that town will have to save their en-
thusiasm for some future event. The
account is as follows:
"a few days ago, when Manager
Van Week and his corps of Sunset OIL
Gals left Houston on their annual in
spection over the road, they looked
forward to a pleasant meeting at Sc
gum. The prominent business men OF
that up to date burg had invited them
in advance to 4. carriage drive over the
city, the invitation was accepted, aud
all the way from here to the Guada-
lupe river Private Secretary Charles
Hubener, the orator of the railroad
party, downed the noise of the train
in his imprisoned rehearsal OF the elo-
quent speech he intended to deliver as
a 'feebie expression of thanks" to the
good people of Seguin for their proffer-
ed courtesy and hospitality
sin the meantime the mem bers OF
the local reception committee put on
their Sunday clothes, engaged all the
carriages in town for the accommodation
of their expected guests, and mentally
viewed with pleasing anticipations the
grand parade il which they and the
railroad were to participate. All Sc
guiu was more or less on the qu1
vive, and every body brushed up for
the event. BY some amusing mis-
understanding, however the expected
arrival of the train did not tally with
the actual arrival. 1t was looked for
at 10 o'clock, but rolled into the depot,
putting and snortipg and whistling
precisely at 9: 80 q. IN. The reception
committee, nor his honor the mayor,
nor any delegation of citizens, wa
there to welcome the distinguished
railroaders or greet with applause the
fiowery Grafton of Mr.. Hubener. They
failed to connect and the special pulled
out before the mistake could be correc-
ted.
when the reception committee, and
all the pomp and pageantry of Seguin,
arrived at the station half hour later,
they learned that the Sunset officials
had come and left and that ali their
preparations were made in vain.
Thus Manager Van Week and his
| friends lost a hearty welcome and an
enjoyable carriage ride. Mr.. Hubener
missed the opportunity OF delivering
his grafton, the expected parade was
abandoned, and the local COM
mittee OF business men mad more
vehicles at their disposal that forenoon
than they knew what to do with.
| However. Seguin will not be disap.
pointed a second time. 1t is deter
mined on the return of the inspection
party to intercept and royalty enter
tain them, and correspondence to thai
end is now in progress"

Lost His Wheel.

All week the friends of Fred Abra-
hams, the G. 81. carpenter, have been
noticing that his actions have been
rather peculiar and many questions
have been asked him regarding his pc
culiar conduct. 1t all came out today
1t seems that Fred rode his wheel to
church last Sunday and when he re-
turned to the place where he had left
it, after the services wereaover, the
wheel was gone. He has used every
means possible to recover the wheel
but all to no avail. Mr.. Abrahams
says the next time he goes to church
he is going to use his feet and he is
dead certain no one can steal them.

Effort in Getting Ammunition and Ra-
lions to the Front Saved the Day.
p. E Butler, of pack-train No. B,
writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July
23d, says: I'VE all had diarrhoea in a
more or less violent form, and when we
landed we bad no time to see doctors
for it was case of rush and rush night
and day to keep the troops supplied
with ammunition and rstions, but
thanks to hamberlain' 9 Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able
to keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, sincerely believe that at one
critical time this medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that wagon train could use. My COM
rade and myself had the good fortune
to lay in q supply of this medicine for
our packtrain before we left Tampa,
and l know in four cases it absolutely
saved life"
