The only tangible assets Of the
Northern Pacific Company that remain
are the lands east of the Missouri river.
in North Dakota and Minnesota.
There are nearly 100000 acres. but
there is a good deal of litigation to be
first settled with reference to the taxes
that have been paid and the holders

lands are in the possession of receiv.
ers Bigelow and McHenry AID are
valued at not more than $1S,O0O,0 900.
The decision. If upheld, will give the
company about 80 per cent. of the pro-
ceeds from the sale OF the lands, with
10 percent. to the other general credi-

lows is founded upon the deficiency
between the amount received upon the

bridgeport. CT, Sept. 26.-That the
police have not exhausted their re-
sources in securing evidence in the
Emma Gill case, is apparent as today
Witnessed additional developments IN
this direction. Probably. the most IN
teresting lind OF the day was a small
meat saw that was discovered at the
home OF Mrs. Rose B. Drayton (Mrs.
Guilford's colored laundress) on Cam
non street. The saw blade bore evil
dence of recent use and there were
found on 1t particles believed to oe
human flesh and marrow of human
bones.
The find is a most important enc, as it
removes all suspicion OF Eudora Gull
ford being connected with her mother
in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the remains.
while 1t would indicate pretty clearly
that the colored woman was the mid
wife's assistant. 1t has been learned,
too. that the colored woman has been
writing to Mrs. Guilford since the lat
ter's hasty departure from the city.
.Oxley's connection with the affair as
tod by his brother is given consider
able credence. In brief that Emma
wanted money to be operated upon py
Mrs Guilford. Upon the advice OF
Guernsey. he offered to marry the girl.
but she desired to marry another man.
Oxley will not admit that he was re-
sponsfble for her condition and DIS
claims sending her to the midwife on
the contrary, it was something she had
determined upon when she asked tor
the money. and she came to Mrs. Gull
ford's house of her own vo1ition. The
police say no such confession has been
made to them.
Mr.. Oxley senior who. with another
son and Judge Holcomb, came "a
bridgeport with the amount OF bonds
fxed. last week. was disappointed
when he learned that the prisoner was

instead OF the charge preferred origin

not be fixed on the last charge, until
Saturday next.

An ideal machine had for It's officers men

who may be either corrupt or moderately
honest, but who must be of low intelll-

they were still actively in the race with
