itexplain the following? The expenses
of running> County Judge Bige-
lows Office for the period from July l
'97 to July l '9S is $729.00 and for the
period from July l '99 to July l 1900 is
l,344.Ol, an increase of over so per
cnet. with no increase of business to
warrant it. And this under repub-
lican administration.
And there are several other Offices
in the same fix.
During the fiscal year July | '97 to
July '9S there was paid out in the
auditors Office for extra clerk hire
$4O9 24-during the fiscal year July l,
'99 to July 1900 there was paid for

the taxes but the republican equali-
zation board votes to put them up

LITTLE EFFECT ON STOCKS.
Southern Pacific Dropped Point but
Soon Rallied.


Soon Rallied.
NEW YORK, Aug. l5.-Mr. Hunting
toms death had little effect on the gen.
eral stock market. Even his own
stocks, chief among which was South
ern Pacific, were hardly disturbed.
Some large lots Of Southern Pacific
came out in the initial transactions, but
they were promptly taken by banking
interests known to represent the late
millionaire, and as a result the price OF
Southern Pacific soon rallied from its
one point decline. 1t seemed to be the
general opinion Of those conversant
with Mr.. huntingdon affairs that he
had left his properties in such shape al
to permit of easy handling by others.
A meeting OF the Southern Pacific
interests and certain prominent bank.
ing interests were held early in the
day. The Southern Pacific road and
other corporations all carry large depos-
its in this city and are frequently III
the money market. 1t seemed to be
the opinion Of the bankers at the con.
ference that no apprehension need be
felt because Of Mr.. Hun tington s death.
Wall street estimates the fortune OF
Mr.. Huntington at from $40, 900, 900 tc

HE IS .FRoM MISSOURI"
Consequently He wants to Know"
What He May DO.

r. l.. Martin the first president and
one OF the builders OF the X c., Pitts
burg & Gulf petilloned the circuit court
at Kansas City TO advise him what he
ought 20 do In the matter Of the fore
closure sale OF that property, which was
made at Joplin, Missouri. yesterday.
Mr.. Martin claims that he Is the receiv-
er OF the road ana that all the proceed
ings had In the United States court In
the receiyership, including the appoint
ment OF Messrs. Fordyce and Withers
as receivers. and the order OF sale, are
null and void. The court will pass on
Mr. Martins claim later.
On April l last, j. Med. Trimble, Rob-
ert Gillian and Mr.. Martin were app
pointed receivers Of the road by the
county circuit court on the application
Of local bondholders. Trimble resigned
and Gillham died.
On April 6 last, the United States cir
cult court appointed Messrs. Fordyce
and Withers receivers on the petition
OF the New York Trust company and
Trlmble, Gillham and Martin were or
dered TO relinqulsh their claims.
MIR. Martin sets IN that at the time
he believed the order Of the United
States court was good but that now he
Is advised that the United States court
lacked Jurisdiction. that its acts since
have been null and void and that he
therefore IL the rightful and only re-
ceiyer Of the property.
