IN THE POWER HEARING
SOME IMPORTANT TESTIMONY BEFORE EXAMINER MABIE.
In the Suit Of Peter Power Against the Northern Pacific Directors to Prevent the Defendants from Farming Over Stock of the Company Co the Northern administrations of Managing Clerk BOwden.

New York. Aug. 15.-The hearing be- fore Special Examiner Richard A. Ma bic in the suit of Peter Power against the Northern Pacific railroad directors to prevent them from turning over the stock of the company to the Northern Securities company was continued to- day. Little attention was paid to the Power suit, however, most of the day being devoted to inquiry into the means whereby plaintiffs were provided in the similar action against the Great North ern railroad, one of the constituent companies in the merger, which actions were based on the holdings of Mrs. Ellsworth Ives Chapman and Milton F. Bouden.
 Milton F. Bouden, managing clerk for Thomas & Thomas, brokers, was called by MT. Guthrie. He said that MT. Thomas called him into his office one day last January and said: T have given you four hundred shares of Great Northern Railroad company stock and a suit will be brought in your name" III ICpiy tS HuColAO4o " AhAA' Guthrie, MT Bouden said the value of the stock was about $S0,OOO and that he still held it. He had not paid for it. He admitted that he was in consulta- tion with counsel yesterday MT. Thom- as, Bourke Cochran, Parker G. Chand- Ter, Treadwell Cleveland and MT. Wei denfeld were present. He declined to state what was said there.
 How much stock do you own now?" asked MT. Guthrie.
 1.-TWO hundred shares" was the reply.
 "When did you Ike possession of them?"
 To-day" said the witness.
 "Is it not a fact that those shares were given you to-day that you might swear you owned the stock?" continued Mr. Guthrie.
 /. q took those shares from the safe be- cause the subpoena served upon me called for their production here"
 Do you know what perjury is and the penalty for perjury?" pursued the questioner. ,..
 ' T do," returned MT. Bouden. What became of the other two hun dred shares?"
 They were sold, l noticed the stock was going down and told MT. Thomas that I would not be responsible for any loss. He said he would arrange about that, and later told me that he had sold two hundred shares. MT. Weidenfeld bought them"
 The money, he said, was placed to his account. MT. Bouden admitted some correspondence with MT. Lamb on

THE AUTOMOBILE TRAGEDY
THE BODIES OF NIB. AND MRS.
 FAIR EMBALMED.
What the Chauffeur Has to Say Con- cerning the Accident-The Dealer Who Sold Him the Vehicle for Si2, ,OO0 dent Occurred There Was a Speed of s7 to 93 Miles an Hour.

Paris, Aug. 15.-The bodies of MT. and Mrs Charles Fair. who were killed in an automobile accident yesterday near Evreux, were embalmed and placed in collins to-day, pending instructions from the family as to their disposition.
 The chauffeur said to-day that before the accident he noticed the. tire of the left hind wheel of the machine was de- Hated and that the rim of the wheel was rubbing on the ground. He told MT. Fair, who tried to stop, and the &C., cident followed. The firm that sold MT. Fair the Automobile last June says he paid $12,00 for it and ordered another at the same price to be of sixty horse power. ~g ..,
 San Francisco, Aug: 15. .+The sudden death of Charles Fair and his wife by the collapse of their automobile near Exreux, France, yesterday means a great loss to San Francisco. Just be- fore his departure for Europe in May last Charles Fair had practically com pleted plans for $5,0000e0 worth of im- provements to the Fair property in this city and it was his intention on his re- turn from his sojourn in Europe to sign contracts for the work in contempla- ton.
 The matter of the disposition of the estates of the dead millionaire and his wife has given rise to- some little spec ulation as to what will become of Charles Fairs portion of his decetsed fathers immense holdings. It is known that very short time ago both Mir. and Mrs. Fair made wills disposing of their separate holdings and the community property, but just what the documents provide for Messrs. Knight 6 Haggerty, the attorneys for Charles Fair, do not l feel at liberty to make public at this time. Mrs. Fair was possessed of prop erty to the value of $S50,00O and it is thought her will bequeaths her hold 1 ings to relatives in New Jersey, but in the event of evidence being adduced i that Charles Fair succumber to his in- iuries first Mrs Fairs interest in the community property will naturally re- vert to her heirs and it is this point on which the disposition of the mllionaire's s estate largely depends
 There being some divisions among the friends and relatives of Charles Fair as to whether the will of Fair, now in the hands of Knight & Haggerty his at- torneys, was the last made by him, Judge Carroll Cook to-day issued an order granting the attorneys permis- ! sion to search the several safe deposit boxes used by Fair, so that if there is a will of more recent date, it will be brought to light. Herman Oelrichs,
 brother-in-law of the deceased million aire, is emphatic in his assertions that
 Charles Fair made will very shortly
 before leaving this city for Europe.

Wheat Prospects Are Favorable.

While 1T is generally agreed that
there has been much improvement in
the winter wheat states since the
opening of the month, prices became
somewhat firmer upon the publication
OF the official report of condition on
May /. Based on the average of
1874, the produce exchange StatiStician
estimated the yield at 341, 49s. 900 bu.
This is considerably less sthan the
record breaking production last year,
but compares favorably with earlier
crops. Since these figures were COM
piled there have been abundant rains
in Kansas and Nebraska, where the
need was most urgent, yet. on the
other hand, considerable acreage in
spring wheat sections has been aban-
doned because of excessive moisture.
Experts for ten months of the crop
year assure the heaviest outgO ever
recorded, even if the last two months
make poor exhibits. For the past
week exports were 3,499, 764 bushels,
flour included, against 4,023, 246
bushels a year ago.

Ar Old Scholastic Question.

The late DR.. Talmage was on one
occasion in the company of some theo-
logical students. They, fresh from
the study of church history, were
laughing together over the old schol-
astic question:
"How many angels are supported on
the point of needle?"
They were surprised when Dr. Tai
mage turned to them and said:
"Well, how many do you Think"
AS no one answered he went on
with decision:
"Well, I'll tell you-fve."
And he justified his answer with
the following story:
One very stormy night he was COM
ing home late, and noticed light in
the window of a room where he knew
poor woman lived whose husband
was at sea. He wondered what kept
her up SO late. and he went to see. He
found her hard at work sewing by her
lamp, while her five rosy children
were sound asleep beside her.
There" said DR.. Talmage, twas
needle supporting five angels. -
