THE GOVERNMENTS SIDE OF QUESTION Disputed Title to Walker County
 Coal Lands THE STATUS OF THE CASE Agent From Land Office Says Eighty Acres Were Entered Too Late.
 Suit Against the Corona
 Coal Company.
THE STATUS OF THE CASE

It is stated by government land agent that Corona Coal Company, against whom the government has brought suit to re- cover for large quantity of coal taken from government lands in Walker Coun- ty, can perfect the title of 160 acres of avoid paying for the coal taken from that portion of the land. Eighty acres of the land, it Is said was entered four days after the law withdrawing it from entry became effective and, according to the government agent. can be given to that portion.
 In it's suit the government claimed a certain sum of money as payment for coal taken from 240 acres. It is claimed that the Virginia and Alabama Coal Company trespassed on government land and took therefrom about 13,00O tons of coal, valued at about $1 per ton. It Is stated that the Virginia and Alabama Company believed that it was working land belonging to the Corona Company when getting coal from this land
 It is stated that the only way by which the Corona Company can be relieved of paying for the coal taken from the 80 acres entered in 1883 would be through a bill passed by Congress, and that such bill would have to be recommended by the Commissioner of the General Land office before Congress would pass it.

 The holiday spirit is restricting business on the Stock Exchange here now. It was very dull today.
 London bought American shares in the early hours. This was due to the encour- agement of the buoyancy in New York yesterday afternoon, and the reports of the tremendous dealings there. When however, Wall street opened quiet and sold off, a damper was thrown upon the market here. New York especially sold Union Pacific shares. The market sagged steadily to the very close.
