year-old lad by the name of Thomas

elder sister had the largest share of the
farm work to do to protect the widow
and little ones from want. Last evening
she insisted that the boy take his share
of the work, and so persistent was she
that the boy flew into rage, and, draw
ing keen knife, flew at her, slashing her
fearfully, severing her breast and other

short while. The aged mother rushed to
the girls assistance, and the lad turned

Against That Country.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The German
government has issued memorandum
relative to the trade balance between Ger
many and the United States, intended to
show that former official estimates in
favor of the United States were far too
low. This last statement shows that in
1898 the United States imports into Ger
many increased by $42, 600, 900 over those of
the preceding year, while Germany's ex-
ports to the United States diminished
S1OOO,0O0 in the same time The actual
excess of trade in favor of the United
States was $131, 13S000, a remarkable fact
in view of the statement that only five
years before the balance was in favor of
Germany. Moreover, the United States
exports to Germany last year were larger
than ever before, while Germany's ex-
ports to the United States were larger
than any previous year in ten

Sensational Ruling in "a Bridge and
Railway Suit.


LOUISVILLE, KY, July 1.-The report
of Special Commissioner Charles F. Tay
lor, in the suit of John l.. Dodd and 9th
er minority stockholders, against the
Louisville Bridge company, the Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
and Louisville & Nashville roads, has
been filed in the chancery court. 1t
abounds in sensational charges. The mat
ter has been in litigation since 1897 The
minority stockholders claimed that in 1872
the railroads named as co-defendants had
agreed to operate the bridge and pay the
stockholders IL per cent annually. 1t was
claimed that the dividend was reduced in
1876 to per cent and later to per cent.
The commissioners find that the Penn
sylvania Railroad company, which is
charged with having manipulated all the
deals, owes the minority stockholders
s., 055,S75 and that henceforth the divi
dend of " per cent should be paid.
The commissioner finds that the
Pennsylvania and other Northern roads
should pay the Louisville & Nashville
$92a, 600, awarded some years ago. and that
the Pennsylvania should pay 100000 taxes.

back lathing, 22 cents per yard. This
