IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Mike Carron Sentenced to Two
Years Imprisonment.
STEWART IS DISMISSED
County Attorney Does Not Consider
That There Is Sufficient Evidence :
to Warrant Conviction-Board
of Appraisers Appointed.

In the district court yesterday Judge
Napton pronounced sentence upon Mike
Carron. The court sentenced him to serve
two years in the penitentary. Carron is
a self-confessed burglar. His crime was
that of stealing an overcoat from the Cap
ital hotel on Front street, which garment
was afterwards found upon his person.
He was arrested and charged with bur-
glary. He pleaded not guilty, but after
wards changed his plea to one of guilty.
upon which plea he was yesterday SEN
fenced to two years.
On motion of County Attorney Duffy
yesterday the case of the state against
Thomas Stewart was dismissed, the pris-
oner released and his bonds exonerated,
Stewart was charged with grand larceny,
the alleged crime being the theft of a calf
from neighboring rancher in the north
end of the county. The reason for the
dismissal of the case is that the county
attorney did not consider that the state
had sufficient evidence to go before a Jury
with a hope of conviction.
The court yesterday appointed as a
board of appraisers for the year 1899 the
following named gentlemen: II. B. Davis,
c. H. Williams and A. D. Peck
Several probate matters were attended
to and disposed of, after which court adj
journed until this morning. The jurors on
the regular panel were excused until next
Monday morning, as there are no cases
requiring their attendance until that
time.

up those outstanding 10 10 per cent and teru-
tinted closely the collateral offered for new

The Lackswanna railroad had no inter-

railroads in the United States, through

shall be equipped with automatic celplers.
When this law was first passed the Lack
awanna railroad began with vigor to carry
out this provision, and year ago every

from its connecting and freight lines has
been so equipped. During the present year
these cars have been provided with auto

THE TRANScoNTlNINTAL RATE SITUATION
Meeting II to he Held in st, I,ou,s
Next Tuesday-spccial Party Com
ing-Notes and Personals.

Austin, Texas, December ll.--Many con-
6icting expressions OF opinion having been
received from traffic men. compress men
and other interested parties with regard
10 the proposition OF Chairman Peck OF
the Texas Car Service association looking
to the PRONUNCIATION Of rules providing
for the weighing of cotton under the as
sociations supervision and at the ex-
pense OF the railroads to prevent under
billing, the railroad commission has de-
cided to have a hearing of the matter
within the next two weeks to permit open
discussion of the question.
II Is not known here what differences
of opinion may cause the commission to
submit the matter to a hearing before the
request is granted. AS has been stated
In The Post heretofore. the railroad man
ayers decided to make this request after
a careful consideration of the question.
They desire to put it under the direction
OF the Texas Car Service association as
that bureau is already organized and can
perform the service at a less cost II
has been estimated that the cost is but
l cent per bale, What objection the COM
press men could have to the arrangement
Is not known. II is simply a desire on
the part of the roads to secure the proper
weight fol shipments. In making appli-
cation to the commission Major Peck said
that the railways are entitled TO all the
revenue for the carriage Of cotton earned
under the commission tariffs and rulings,
which tan only be had by securing TO the
railways the full weight of the property
carried, and that the supervision thereof
should be under the management of the
Car Service association.
