ROAD NOT TO BE OPEN.
Records Do Not Warrant Finding for
Lyon Township.

In district court today was decided
the long fought case between the
Rock Island and the trustee Of Lyon
township.
The trustee claimed that there is
public road crossing the Rock Island
right of way on the section line few
hundred feet south of the Rock Island
depot at Harrington, and that this
road was laid out and opened in 1875.
The court in the opinion filed today
finds in substance that that part OF
the road crossing the Rock Island
right Of way has never been used by
the public as road; that that portion
of the road for the distance of a quar-
ter Of mile was fenced into pasture
by M. D. Herington in 1882 and that
the fence remained there until the
Rock Island built its road through
the pasture in 1887, and that no
claim was ever made that the section
line at this point was a public high
way until last summer. Where this
road, il a legal one, would cross the
right Of way, the company has built
its stock yards, sawmill, lumber yards
and six different railroad tracks which
are used by the company in making
up its daily trains. Unless these
things should all be moved the cross
ing, il established, would be very
dangerous one to the public,
But the court finds that although
the road may not have been actually
Travelled by the public or may have
been fenced up, this alone would not
inyalidate the road, II the records OF
the board of county commissioners
had shown that the road had ever
been legally laid out and opened. No
part OF the records Of the commits
sioners was destroyed by the tire that
burned the court house In 1882. All
the other records were burned. So
that the only evidence available to es'
tablish the fact that this road had
once been legally laid out and opened
was the records OF the proceedings OF
the board Of county commissioners
The records of the board, however,
fail to show material facts relating tt
the road and the Judge in his opinion
says the supreme court has decided
that unless the records OF the board
Of county commissioners aflirmatiyely
show that legal petition for roac
signed by twelve householders OF TIT
county has been presented to thu
board the commissioners have M
authority to lay out and open a road
Hence the decision is against thu
township and the temporary injunc
ton asked by the railroad against thu
trustee to prevent his opening thu
road is made permanent.

Civil Service Rules

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Chief Ex-
aminer Serven of the civil service COM
mission was re-examined by. the senate
civil service investigating committee
today. His testimony was in the nature
of refutation of the contention that the
committee frequently had no eligible
registers from which to supply vacan-
cies. He agreed that the rules should be
amended so as to provide that eligibles
not receiving appointments should be
carried on the lists longer than the pres
ent fixed limit of one year and to remain
on the list, must be examined. Under
the present law he regarded deputy col
lectors Of internal revenue as properly
classified, but thought that under proper
restrictions collectors might be permit
ted to make the appointment Of deputies
instead of having them otherwise die
tated. He conceded that stockers and
gaugers in the internal revenue might
properly be excluded from the classifi-
cation in many instances.

der discussion for several months, and
it was suggested as first step that the
West Shore shops at Frankfort should
be closed and the work done there trans
ferred to the shops of West Albany and
Depew. But somehow nothing could
be done as no one seemed willing to take
the responsibility of making the change.
1t was presented to Mr.. Vanderbilt, and
without hesitation he ordered the work
to be done. The change was made in
May and since then it's wisdom has been
fully justified in the saving of expense
that has followed. Those who know es-
innate that the cost of the repair de-
partment has been reduced $250,O0 a
year.
Encouraged by the success of this ex-
pertinent, the management of the COM
pany has now under consideration an
other important change, looking to the
ultimate merging of the West Shore
into the New York Central.
In the first place it is believed saw
ing can be made by consolidating the
departments which operate the train
service. This would mean the taking
off of West Shore trains which dupli-
cate those Of the New York Centra
1T costs to run a West Shore train on
round trip to Buffalo-that is, one trai.
starting from New York and the 9th
from Buffalo at the same time-S4C0 4;
day. The caDcelling of this sing!t
train, for which it is asserted there is
no necessity, the same service bens
performed by the New York Central
would save the company in round fig
ures $150,000 a year, and it is understood
that there are several such superfluous
trains, so that the $150,000 is to be mul-
tiplied by the number of such useless
trains as may be cancelled. 1t is fur
ther asserted that the local service
would not be injured by such reduction
in through trains. Another proposition
under consideration is the consolidation
of terminal facilities in Buffalo, Syra-
cuse and other terminal points which,
If effected, will reduce expenditures
materially and at the same time serve
the public more efficiently.
Both companies have duplicate offices
in every large city of the East as we'll
as many Western points. These offices
are fully manned with duplicate sets of
officials who in many places enter into
competition with each other.

German Demands

PEKIN, Jan. 15.-Germany has de-
manded a ninety-nine years lease of
Kiao Chau and large area surrounding.
China offers to lease the bay and shores
only for fifty years. Here the matter
rests. The Germans insist on the right
to build railroads and work mines when
ever they wish. 1t is reported that a
railroad from Kiao Chau to Binan Flu
has been agreed to, the Germans acquir-
ing mining rights for mile on each
side of the line and the Chinese to be
admitted as shareholders. Germany has
renewed her demand for an indemnity
of 100000 taels, for the erection of a
cathedral and for compensation to the
amount Of several thousand taels for the
relatives of the murdered missionaries.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 15.-The 20
mile paced race between Edouard Tay-
lore, the French middle-distance cham
pion, and ]. Frank Starbuck Of this city
at Sanger hall tonight was spoiled by
an unfortunate accident to Taylore. The
accident occurred on the sixth mile,
Taylore at that time having gained
lead of lap, equal to one-tenth OF
mile. On the next lap the tandem team
took him terrific clip. AS the foreigner
turned into the home stretch the spill
took place. Taylore's wheel dashed up
the incline and the machine and rider
brought up against post, the wheel
being smashed completely and Tay-
lore rebounding and falling on the
track. He managed to get out of the
road just as Starbuck and his PAGERS
came tearing around the turn. Taylore
was not seriously injured. His right
shoulder was dislocated and his left
knee wrenched.
While the race lasted Taylore i'm
pressed the 5000 spectators with his abil-
ity, many comparing him with Michael
Starbuck, too, rode in splendid form, as
his time of 10:2S1s for five miles shows
After the accident Starbuck reeled off
mile after mile, merely covering the
twenty miles necessary to secure first
money.

tie rain till February, and then it came
too fast and crops suffered for late rains
in the spring. 1t is the late rains that
make crops and farmers feel no anxiety
till the spring opens. While the winter
rains hold off the indications are good
for late spring rains and these make
the farmer glad. The acreage in this
county will be larger than for many
years, and from the present outlook the
crops will be abundant. Very cold
weather has held back all vegetation
and nothing is suffering for rain.
San Diego-The late rain has removed
all present danger of the grain crop fail
ing. The acreage is much larger than
last year. Early in the season immense
tracts were sown to grain which is al
ready advanced. This Is notably the
case in Santa Maria, Ell Cajon, Poway.
Escondido and Delmar district, in all of
which increased acreage has been
planted. Since the last storm farmers
have been busy sowing more grain. The
weather is clear here tonight

THE RECENT RAIN
Removes All Danger of Failure of
Crops

SAN JOSE, Jan. 15.-Rain began fall
Ing in San Jose and vicinity this morn
| ing and continued at intervals until
evening. In all ten hundredths of an
| inch fell. This pleases the farmers.
not because they have had enough rain,
but that the indications point to another
downpour. Several inches more of rain
are needed to meet the demands of the
soil. A few more rains and the Santa
Clara valley will be assured large crops,
both of fruit and grain.
Sacramento-There was a short show
er here this forenoon, which probably
pleased the farmers. The continued
frosts and cold weather. it is said, are
keeping back the grain, which will not
make much headway until a warmer
spell comes on. No complaints of lack
of moisture are heard here. The crops
are in state of statu quo, so to speak
The grain is all in the ground awaiting
only warm weather, with occasional
rains, to show rapid growth. There are
no reports of injury to crops in this sec
tion from drouth or other causes, but
they are retarded and held back by cold
weather. AS soon as the conditions
change the growing crops will come
right along. There is just now no crop
gossip whatever. Farmers have done
their work and are waiting for warm
weather.
Stockton-The rainfall today was very
light and had no effect on the crop out
look. The farmers have generally fin
ished plowing and are waiting heavy
falls of rain, but no damage is feared
from the delayed downpours, and there
is no present fear of dry season, for it
is remembered that last year we had lit
