KANSAS CITY AND GULF ROAD.
Stockholders and Creditors Ask for
Receiver.

KANSAS CITY, April "A receiver
ship for the Kansas City, Pittsburg and
Gulf Railroad was asked tonight of
Judge Gibson of the Circuit Court by
Charles E. GranniS and other stock
holders and creditors. The application
was granted, and Judge Gibson ap-
pointed the following named officials of
the road as receivers: E. L. Martin,
Vice President; Robert Gillham, Gen
eral Manager and J. Med. Trimble, ait
torney, all of this city
Considerable mystery seems to sur
round the affair. President A. E. Still
we'll of the road, when telephoned at
his home at l o'clock this Sunday
morning, denied any knowledge of a
receivership. 1t is believed that the
receiversnip is a friendly one.
The interest due yesterday amounted
to S5I5oO0, and it could not be met.
When this fact became known a, move
ment was inaugurated to secure the
appointment of a receiver who would
be specially friendly to the Eastern in
terests of the road. This movement
was checkmated by the preparation of
the papers for the appointment of local
receivers.
Judge Gibson was applied to late last
night. The petition for the appoint
menf of a receiver was signed by
Charles A. Braley, e. F. Silver and
John E. Eaton of the law firm of
Trimble & Braley.
The outstanding debt of the system
is S23,O00,000 of bonds. The interest
due to-day amounted to $575. 600 The
equipment Of the system amounts to
$4,000 or $4,000 per month. which
consumes the earnings and diver.s
them from the interest fund.
The receivership does not involve any
interest of the Port Arthur system
other than the main line of the Kansas
City, Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad The
northern lines Kansas City Suburban
Belt and the Port Arthur Canal and
Dock Company, together with other in
terests, are said to be upon a firm
financial basis.
The financial troubles that have in
'volved the Pittsburg and Gulf are di-
rectly attributable to the fight against
the completion of the canal, as it de-
prives the railroad of terminal facili-
ties at the gulf for more than a year
and compelled the company to make
use of Galveston. which necessitated
giving up very. large share Of the
revenue that would ordinarily accrue
to the road.
Martin said tonight: 'The applica-
tion was made in order to prevent the
road from falling into the hands OF
some one as receiver whom we know

OAKLAND, April 1.-William A.
Brandes, the Berkeley night watchman,
accused of beating to death his nttie
daughter, Lillian, and of hanging her
to a bedpost for the purpose of giving
an appearance of suicide, was to-day
convicted of murder in the second de-
gree.
The jury was out three hours and
thirty-five minutes. Two of the jurors,
it is said, at first voted for hanging,
and two or three were in favor of a
manslaughter verdict, so the result
finally reached was a compromise.
Brandes accepted the verdict calmly,
sitting with his face turned away from
all the spectators An unusual paFlor of
his complexion was noticeable, but that
disappeared when Attorney Bennet
turned to him in conversation about a
new trial

convicted prisoner, is awaiting triad for
