UNION SAVINGS BANK.
Trial of the Suits Of Depositors
Against Shareholders.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 22.-The trial of the
suits of depositors of the Union Saw
1ngs Bank against the shareholders
thereof was largely a matter of con-
ference in open court to-day between
opposing attorneys. Efforts are being
made to agree on all questions possi-
BILE, and then proceed and litigate mat
ters not so agreed upon.
So far numerous accounts of deposit
ors have been agreed to by stipulation.
So have the accounts of many share
holders. But a question arose to-day
which will cause some trouble. One de-
fendant made the point that he was
not shareholder, and only held stock
as security for a loan.
The opposing parties have about
agreed to refer all contested accounts
to a referee and expert accountant. Be-
fore this is DONE the main questions of
law which shall govern must be settled
What shall be evidence to prove ac-
counts of shareholders and depositors
is now being argued before the court,
as defendants have objected to the po-
sition of plaintiffs.
Under the ruling of the court the
plaintiffs have won the case now, Irac-
tically, where accounts are not dis
puted.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
important Amendments to be Of
fered at Next Congress.

CHICAGO Nov. ~. - important
amendments to the Interstate Com
merce law We're approved at confer
ence to-day of representatives of over
thirty national industrial and manu-
featuring associations. merchants and
shippers.
Arrangements have been made with
Senator Cullom to introduce bill at
the coming session of Congress. and a
determined effort will be made to have
it placed on the statute books.
The bill demands a uniform clasSif
cation of rates, and calls for an i'm
portant extension of the, powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to
prevent all kinds of discrimination in
favor of manufactured product as
against the raw material. 1t also does
away with the system of Imprisonment
under the present law to one of fines,
making the corporation and not the in
dividual responsible and liable to pros
ecution.
The amendments were discussed at
length before decision was reached.
The session lasted most of the day. The
proposed amendments were prepared
by Frank Barry of Milwaukee, Wis,
Secretary of the Millers' National AS
sociation.

ment in favor of legalized pooling was
made before the subcommittee of the
industrial Committee to-day by Paul
Morton, Second Vice President of the
Santa Fe. He declared that system
or legalized pooling would come near
er to maintaining stability of rates than
anything yet proposed. He also stated
tnat the system would protect small
shippers and small towns to an extent
not possible under present methods. He
dlsapproved Government ownership of
railroads. claiming that 1t would bring
ABOUT higher rates and inferior service.
Stability in freight rates is Just as
essential, he said, 'as unfiuctuating
import duties" He expressed the
opinion that ticket scalpers are the
cause of much dishonesty, and ought
not to be tolerated

CARS BROKE FROM THE TRAIN
One Of the Queer Accidents of
Railroading.


Some queer things happen in rail
roading," said Delegate Bullock OF
Lodge No. 1S1, after the evening ad-
journment of the trainmen's convention
the other day; queer things that &c
dead contrary to all known rules.
| remember an incident of that kind thar
occurred at place called Mud Run
Curve, on the Central Railroad Of New
Jersey or Jersey Central, to be short
The track there swing around a big
spur OF the mountains. On one side
they go steep up, and on the other
side steep down, like book held slant
ways, and below, in the valley, is the
Lehigh River. The night I'm thinking
about we We're going over the line
with a long freight. 1t was dark as
pitch, and storming, with every now
and then a big clap of thunder; but
we were behind time and travelling at
pretty stiff gait When we took the
Mud Run Curve eight fat cars, loaded
with lump coal, all of a sudden jumped
the track.
Now, naturally, they ought to have
torn up things, ditched the rest of the
train and raised Cain generally; but
they didn't. They just quietly hoped
out near the middle and disappeared
in space without budging the rails an
inch. If the rear brakeman hadn't
happened to be coming forward at the
time we would simply passed on in two
pieces. AS it was, he saw a big hole
in the train and was SO astonished he
came near falling off. He couldn't
imagine what had become Of those
eight cars, but all the same he rushed
to the brakes, set 'em and gave the
signal to stop. When we came to in
yestigate all we found was a lot o.
kindling wood and coal lying on the
bank of the river. What made the eight
cars jump 1 don't know. The engineers
said it was centrifugal attraction.
Others said it was pure cussedness. 1t
was the first and only time l ever knew
such a thing to happen without rip
ping the very daylights out of the
track. New Orleans Times Democrat.
