that In divesting the road, for which

a gross breach of trust.
The second resolution authorized the

rms step is taken to complete the de-
Indictment of our road and to make the
Raleigh and CASTOR the controlling
factor in the AIRLINE System instead
of the Seahoard.
The ultimate purpose of Mr.. Williams
and his friends is to join the AIRLINE
system with their properties in the eX-
treme Southern Stntes-Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida. We seek to prevent
this consolidation on the ground that it
is an effort to tie together the quick

the Seaboard and Roanoke. We charge
that the syndicate In control of the
Florida Peninsular, and the syndicate

to be bought, are composed Of substan-
TALLY the same persons who now hold
majority interests in the Raleigh and

terms for his own benefit on both sides
of the transaction.
1t is said that Mr.. Ryan owns n very
small interest in the Raleigh and Gas
ton and only 90 per cent. of the Sea-
board and Roanoke, but what differ
ence can it make how much or how lit
tie he owns? a small stakeholder is
as much entitled to be protected by the

I'VE have been amazed at some of

starce, they appointed n proxy commit
tee OF their own side exclusively and
refused to permit lis to know who the
principals of their proxies were. We
could not know whether the votes cast
were lawful or otherwise. They refused
to give us the text OF the resolution
ON which the committee had voted in
consenting TO the sale of the CASTOR
stock or even to explain it. They seem

BUNDICK v. COMMONWEALTH.

Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia
November 90, 1899.
THE EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE,
WHICH IS GIVEN BELOW, HELD
INSUFFICIENT TO WARRANT A
CONVICTION FOR HoUSBBREAN-
ING.
Catherine Bundick was convicted of
housebreaking and appealed. The evil
dence showed that the house OF John
W. Tankard was entered at night and
money and bonds stolen therefrom, and
tnat among the money stolen was So
note. Footprints were found the next
morning under the window which had
been used to enter the house, and some
OF the witnesses thought that one Of the
persons who made these footprints was
n woman. but there was no evidence to
show that any of these footprints were
those of the prisoner. 1t was also
shown that prisoner was familiar with
the premises; knew where the tools
we're kept which had been used to eff
feet an entrance to the house. but 1t
was also proved that all the employee
about the premises had the same
knowledge. 1t was also proved that a
81 note was found in prisoners pocket
book the day after the crime, and that
she made conflicting statements as to
the source from which she obtained 1t,
and some articles belonging to the
granddaughter of Mr.. Tankard were
found near prisoners house. There was
no evidence TO prove that these articles
were stolen on the night of the crime,
nor to identify the So note found in the
pocket-book as the same that was
stolen from the house.
The court says:
We are Of opinion that the evidence
In this case Is plainly insufficient to
sustain the verdict of the jury, and the

Mrs. Elmer Chase.

At her home in Honey Creek town
ship on the "a ult. the reaper Death,
without any previous warning, called
to that other, and, we believe brighter
and better land, Mrs. Elmer Chase.
She had during the day been blessed
with her usual good health and had
performed her household duties as was
her custom. About eight o'clock in
the evening while walking across the
floor she fell down and complained of
peculiar sensation in her head and died
short time thereafter.
Betsey Brown was born at Edmes-
ton, Otsego county, N. Y, March %,
1884. In 1853, at Franklinville, Catar
angus county, N. Y, she was married
to Elmer Chase and three years there
after they came to this county and
settled in Honey Creek township where
they have since resided, with the ex-
ception of two years residence in this
city.
Mrs. Chase was held IN high esteem
by all who knew her. She was kind
and affectionate wife and mother,
good and kind neighbor and friend, and
charitably disposed toward all.
She is survived by her husband, her
daughter Mrs. Laura E. Green, and her
sons Charles E. and Leslie S.
The funeral held at the family resi-
dence, conducted by Rev. Lusk, of
Strawberry Point, was largely attended,
and the remains were laid to rest in
the Edgewood cemetery.

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN
ofthe Iowa Weather and Crop Service
for Week Ending Monday,
September a, 1899.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, I

DIES MONIES, Iowa,
September 5, 1899.
The past week was the hottest of the
season, with the greatest amount of
sunshine and the lowest percentage of
humidity. At the central station the
mean temperature was 70 degrees, and
the average daily excess was over 10
degrees. Showers were reported in the
north central and northeast districts,
but no rain fell in the larger part of the
State.
The weather conditions were favor
able for forcing the maturity of early
planted corn, and more than one half
the crop is now in fit condition to be
cut and shocked. Late corn needs
more rain for it's normal development,
and reports indicate that in many local.
tiles it has been "fired" by excessive
heat. Rain is also needed to facilitate
fall blowing, and for pasturage and late
vegetables.
Winter apples have suffered to some
extent from effects of excessive heat
and dry weather. Good progress has
been made in threshing wheat and
oats.
