Judge Keysor Responds.
Judge Keysor, completely surprised by the
presentation Of the silver service, began his
response in broken tones. He referred to
his experience OF more than a decade upon
the bench and the kindness he had received
at the hands Of the members Of the bar and
the people generally. He told several
stories to illustrate the work Of the Judge
upon the bench in the district and the
humorous and pathetic incidents which take
place from time to time.
II will never have such friends as these, {"
he said, for with many Of them have !
grown up as a lawyer. Many Of us came
here at about the same time; they have
fought out their battles at the bar while ]

the same kind Of friends. / again thank
you for the beautiful present, both for my

MAY USE PER DIEM BASIS
1T Is PROPOSED FOR SETTLEMENT
o USE OF FREIGHT CARS.
Grain Men Discount Car Minimum
Raise-Monon Can Pay Dividend of
4 Per Cent. OF Its Common stock.

Railway managers are considering a
proposition for the formation of an asso-
citation for the purpose Of ~inaugurating and
maintaining a per diem basis for the use
Of freight cars. Ex-Chairman Midgeley
claims that it will effect a large saving
to the roads. His recommendations are:
That all settlements for the use of freight
cars be on the per diem basis, the method
to be placed in effect July l. and members
Of the association agreeing to give it a
thorough trial for twelve months; that an
organization such as he suggests is essen
tial to supplement the work of the Amer
lean Railway Association; that the new
association should act through an execu-
tive committee empowered 20 interpret the
rules, adjust differences, remove misunder-
standings and recommend changes; that a
clearing house should be organized for the
settlement of monthly balances growing
out of the interchange of freight cars be-
tween members, and that such a clearing
house be established Oct. l or Jan. 1. In
this connection it is stated that the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois, the Illinois Cen
tral, the Chicago & Alton, the Baltimore &
ONO and the Pennsylvania nave been pay
ing Mr.. Mldgeley a large salary for some
months TO prepare and distribute among
railroad officials twelve voluminous letters
contained in the latest communication. II
such an association is formed Mr.. Midge-
ley would be a candidate for the chair
manship.

PRODUCE MARKET
MORE ACTIVE TRADE WITH THE AD-
VENT OF GOOD WEATHER.
Prices of Green stuff Are Easing Rap
idIy-Steady Tone i'm Staple Arti-
cIes-CereaIs Are Weaker.

The more spring-like weather yesterday
gave more life to trade than on any pre-
vious day of the week. On Commission row
there was a good deal of activity. Ship
ments of fruits and vegetables were quite
heavy, more especially of Irish potatoes
oranges and apples, and prices were hrm'
except on green stuff. which is coming IN
more freely. with prices easing on some
what. Irish potatoes sold from 90c TO 81 a
bushel. Commission men talk firm prices
Notwithstanding that it is said not more
than one-third of last years crop In Mlchl-
gan and the Northwest has been sold.
Strawberries are in better supply, but are
yet selling at luxury prices. Rhubarb, Gel
cry. radishes and the like are in more
abundant supply and prices are easier. The
produce market continues active and prices
are well maintained. but a few days of
warm weather will doubtless change the
price of eggs and butter. Poultry is not as
plentiful as usual at this season, and until
the country roads are better the supply VIII
be light and prices we'll held. The iron and
steel market is in strong tone, with an
active trade. Prices have lost their advanc-
ing tendency and have settled down TO a
solid basis, it is thought. The wool market
is firm, with little doing. Seed merchants
report business as improving, with a big
spring trade in prospect. Prices rule much
the same as for a month past. Leather pre-
sents nj new features. Prices, except on
harness leather, are very firm, but the eX-
pected advance has not yet mater1allzed.
Other markets are without new features.

JURY TO DECIDE TODAY.
James wilcox, Miss CrOpsey's Muir
derer. to Know His Fate Soon.

James wilcox, Miss C~ropsey's MUIR
derer. to Know His Fate Soon.
ELIZABETH CITY, n. c., March $50
licitor George Ward spoke for the State
this morning at the trial of James Wilcox,
charged with the murder of Nellie Cropsey.
He contended that the evidence of the doc
tors against drowning was conclusive. He
reviewed the testimony of the medical men
and asserted that the girl was murdered
and that Wilcox was guilty as charged. He
said Wilcox had grown bitter at the re-
pulses he had received from Miss Cropsey.
and that he had made up his mind to win
her back or kill her.
The argument was closed by T.. f. AVID
lett. counsel for defense. He reviewed the
entire evidence in detail. Among other
things he said: THE Cropseys have my
sympathy. 1 have before extended it from
my own lips. ! don't blame Mr.. Cropsey
for trying TO find ont the cause of the death
of his girl. But let us look into the evidence
want honest verdicts. The doctors say
there are three tests of drowning, and that
they do not apply i'm cases where the body
had been dead over four or five weeks. The
doctors in this case admit that they did
not examine the ~windpipe and other tubes
TO the lungs. This is where one of the
symptoms is found. The water could
have left the lungs and stomach by natural
processes in the course of thirty-seven
days. There was no evidence that the girl
was not drowned" If. however. she was
killed. he commended that the defendant had
nothing TO do with it. He had neither the
motive nor the opportunity.
The courthouse was full of people this
afternoon. but soon after Mr.. Aydlett began
there was quite an exodus from the aisles.
There is some feeling against him on ac-
count or his activity in behalf Of the de-
PENDANT. Judge Jones will charge the jury
Tomorrow.

Demands Called Impertinent.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 2O.-The re-
ply of the presidents to the Street-railway
Employees Union was short and sharp. 1t
referred to the impertience of the demands,
which assume TO take over the business of
the companies, to manage. and to the i'm
piled threat of stopping the business in case
the demands were not complied with, and
refuses to hold any communication further
with the Amalgamated Association. The
executive committee called on the mayor to
ask his influence to bring about a joint con-
ference. Mayor Copdeville arranged a meet
ing for tomorrow between the presidents
of the railroads and a committee composed
of men from each road. The matter is in
allegiance until then.

Court to-day dissolved the Injunction
against the Cleveland City Railway Com

Pleas Court by the promoters of the 3-cent
fare street-railway system, restraining the
officials of the old company from purchas-
ing Withdrawals of consent of property
owners for the construction of the new
lines through various streets. The City
Council has already granted franchises to
the new company. As a result OF to-day's
decision. however. ii is probable that a
bitter struggle will follow between the old
and new companies.

Business on the three transcontinental
lines which cross the State of North Da-
kota has about resumed normal conditions,
now that nearly a full week has passed
since the beginning of the great March
blizzard, although a few minor branch lines
remain to be cleared of snow. The 500
line was less affected and got its first train
through Wednesday. The Northern Pa
ci1c's blockade lasted 131 hours, and the
first train from the Pacific coast TO arrive
In st. Paul since Friday last came in at
go yesterday morning. Six east-bound
limited trains were caught in the drifts.
Traffic on the Great Northern was resumed
yesterday, when three flyers arrived at
St. Paul close together. The lock lasted
IA hours, the longest interruption Of traf-
fc the system has ever experienced. Al
though put to great expense to clear the
tracks and suffering heavy losses in traffic,
the railroad officials were much pleased
with the heavy snowfall. because IT gives
needed moisture TO the Dakota wheat fields.
This fact also seemed to please the new
settlers, over 1000 of whom passed through
the St Paul gateway to their new homes
within the past twenty-four hours, most Of
them coming from Indiana, Michigan. Chio,

1t is said that soon after the return of
Mr.. +. r. Thomas from the West Monon
directors will meet and declare a divi-
dend on the common, probably putting the
stock on a 4 per cent. basis. Earnings of
the road for some time past would seem to
justify such action. There is said to be

of the dividend could probably be defeated.

Mr.. ingalls, on Southern Railways.

The Manufacturers Record contains a
lengthy article in which President ingalls,.
Of the Big Four. takes for his subject Ten
Years of Railway Progress on Southern
lines. In part, Mr.. Ingalls, says: THE
mileage in the Southeast has increased
about 40 per cent, the number of locomo-
tives about the same, but In capacity it has
more than doubled. Passenger equipment
has increased the same per cent; freight
equipment about 100 per cent, with capacity
probably about 200 per cent. The gross
earnings in this section have increased
from s60,OOO,O 900 to sos. COS, 1000. The net earn
ings have increased from $21. 900, 900 to $S5.-
100000. Almost all of the small lines have
been absorbed by three or four large COM
panies. Some of us who travelled i'm the
South previous to 1890 can now hardly rec
Oncile our minds to the thought that it is
the same country. Iron and stone bridges
have replaced wooden structures and heavy
rails light ones. in physical conditions,
in management of facilities for the public,
the railroads compare favorably with any
thing in the country"
