CANNED FRUITS IN NEW YORK.

Mail advices from New York say: Trade In
California canned goods continues heavy, even
though prices were withdrawn some time ago
and no new quotations have been given out.
There are many conflicting stories regarding
the combination Of packers on the coast, but
aside from the preliminary deals nothing has
been arranged yet. and. according to the
best information obtainable, nothing VIII be
accomplished before fall. The discussion has
its effect on the market, but probably does not
limit sales In any degree"

THE COUNTY INVESTIGATION.
Two Experts to Receive $40 Week
Each.

The County Commissioners yesterday
made the final arrangements with Charles
A. Bookwalter and George H. McCaslin.
by which the latter are to begin at once
an examination of the books of the county
clerk, treasurer, auditor, recorder, sheriff
and the records Of the commissioners court.
The experts are to receive $40 a week each
for their work and are to put in eight hours
a day. In fixing their compensation it was
intimateG by Messrs. Bookwalter and Me-
Caslin that $40 a day each would be about
the right pay, but the commissioners could
not see the matter in this light The
amount finally fixed for the work is salts
factory to all parties. County Attorney
Brown estimates that it will require about
ninety days to complete the Investigations.
The commissioners adopted "specifca-
tons" submitted by the county attorney
which will serve as a guide to the experts
in their work. The clerks office will be the
first office investigated. The examination
in all of the offices will go back as far as
1890. The investigators are expected to as
certain If any, fees not authorized by law
officers, or whether the officers have failed
in any case to charge the proper fee. One
Ascertain what fees, If any are due and
uncollected and tell us in your opinion what
fees can be collected. If said fees be in the
clerks office, give us the number Of the
cause. If in any other Office. refer to same,
so each item can be turned to at once"
The experts will be further required to
find out what allowances, if any, have been
made to county officers by the Board of
Commissioners, and upon what authority
these allowances, If any, were made In
their investigation in the county clerks Of
flee the experts are to omit all divorce
cases.
In talking with Messrs. Bookwalter and
McCaslin yesterday. the county attorney
said he had understood that J. W. Fesler
during his term of Office as clerk. had col
lected and turned over to the proper author
tiles $4,000 of fees in excess of his salary
The attorney said that the fee business Of
the county had become a big thing and if
there were any uncOllected fees due the
county the fact should be known. Mr.
Brown said he did not expect the investi-
cation to show that any county officer lad
been dishonest The purpose of the exam
nation was more to find out whether there
was money due the county that had not
been collected

SUPREME COURT RESUMES.
New Judges on the Bench-A Grist of
Decisions.

The new Supreme Court handed down its
first opinion yesterday in the case of Charles
Rains, of Upton, who was charged with
shooting at George Care, a neighbor, who
had grievously struck him for an alleged in
suit to the wife of the latter. The lower
court held that he was guilty of shooting
with intent to kill, and in his appeal Rains
made the novel plea that as his marksman-
ship was VIGOROUSLY bad there was not the
slightest chance that he could have hit Care
and that therefore he could not reasonably
be charged with intent to kill. The court
ruled against this showing and he was sem
fenced to the Northern Prison for from
two to fourteen years. This Judgment was
affirmed by the Supreme Court.
Several years ago Catherine Timmons and
her husband, of Carroll county, replevined
fifteen ducks, valued at 49, from Wilson Ster-
