Of the Illinois Central Railroad arrived in

answer OF the Merchants Bridge Company
to the Secretary of War. The time al
lowed the company to show cause why it
should not forfeit its charter expired to-
day.
1t is now incumbent upon the Secretary
to decide whether the company should
forfeit the charter because Of alleged vfo-
lation Of the law. Secretary Root handed
the papers to the Judge Advocate General,
who will examine them carefully and re-
port to the Secretary his opinion as to
the sufficiency of the answer.
Recently formal charges were filed at
the department that the company had
pooled issues with the other bridge COM

its chapter, and the company was allowed
thirty days to answer the charges. AL
thoug'l the answer has not been made
public. 1t is understood to be in substance
a general denial of the charges.

where picking Is practically completed The
freezes on the 18th and 18th killed the cotton

caused very slight loss.
Corn ryc and oats that were w. at the begin

satisfactory results. Pastures and ranges would
be greatly benefited by good rain.
