KENTUCKY COAL RATES.
Relation Between Railroads and Min
ing Companies

LOUISVILLE. KY, October 26.-The hear
ing before the interstate commerce COM
mission of the alleged Illegal relation be-
tween the railroad and mining companies in
Kentucky was resumed today. ]. NJ. Ross
was the first witness. He owns a half in
terest In the Rock Creek Coal Company of
Wayne and Pulaski counties. The station
OF the company Is at Yamacraw, which is a
little town situated on the Kentucky and
Tennessee railroad, line eight miles in
length
Mr.. Ross contention is that the railroad
refused to accord him through rate to the
Cincinnati market for his coal. The Ken
lucky and Tennessee connects with the
Queen and Crescent. and the owners of the
railroad also own four mines on the line,
and also have a half interest in the Ross
mine.
J. II. Sharp of Somerset represented the
Kentucky and Tennessee Railroad Com
pany. He admitted that the Kentucky and
Tennessee line was owned by the same peo-
pie and had the same officers as the Stems
Lumber Company and the Stems Coal Com
pany. He said that the company, in build
ing, the line as an outlet for their products,
had inadvertently made 1t long enough to
become common carrier, and realized that
they would have TO furnish rates

CITIZENS MAKE PROTEST.
Hearing at Alexandria County G. a.
on Liquor License.

The petition of James Petit for license
for sale of liquor in Alexandria county came

o'clock. The petitioner was represented by
C. C. Carlin and Charles Bendheim of Alex

Many witnesses were summoned by both
sides in addition to those voluntarily ap-
pearing.
The saloon is projected for Helrs Bottom,
the tenderloin Of Alexandria county. and
the brick companies located nearby re-
tanned Attorney Cation of Alexandria to OPP
that present evils would be augmented by
the presence OF a saloon there and that
the granting OF the license was opposed to
public policy.
James Petit told the court that all of the
sgners of his former petition are willing
to let their names stand.
Robert L. Moncure thought the morals OF
the community In which 1t was proposed to
locate the saloon would be improved by the
conducted according to law. Alexandria

Verdict for Plaintiff.

A verdict for $5S6.25 was today returned
by a jury in Circuit Court No. 1. before
Justice Wright in favor of T. John Newton
against the Union Transfer Company as
the value Of the contents of lost trunk.
The company offered in defense the check
or baggage receipt given for the trunk. on
which was printed a disclaimer Of liability
beyond the sum of $780, The jury in Civ
ing verdict for the full value Of the con-
tents decided that the plaintiff did not
know Of the limitation of liability printed
on the baggage receipt and that nothing
had transpired which called on him as a
reasonably careful man to inspect the re-
ceipt when 1t was handed to him. The
terms of limitation, the jury determined,
had not been assented to either expressedly
or implicitly by Newton and were there
fore not a part Of the contract and not
binding on him.
Attorneys ]. ]. Darlington and R. B.
Behrend represented the PLAINTIFF and the
company was represented by Attorney H.

Keep to the Right.

fToan the new 1Ofk sun.
The search for anniversaries and for OBJ
jects and persons and events to commence
rate Is going beyond all bounds. Even
with our relatively short history the plaster
ing Of public places and private buildings
with tablets and monuments by countless
self-advertising societies is becoming good
deal Of nuisance, and in Europe If all
the memorials to the eminent dead that are
proposed are set up. 1t looks as though
little room would be left for the living to
move about in. Some ingenious Dresden
Saxon who has been looking into the matter
announces that this year, 1905, is the one
hundred and f1ftieth anniversary of the
establishment of the useful rule, Keep to
the right" and that the place where it
was first enforced was the long bridge
over the Elbe at Dresden.
The credit for that sensible ARRANGEMENT
goes back further than that to 1890 and
that highly patriarchal monarch, August
the Strong. Elector of Saxony and King of
were fathered on him, one of whom at least
amounted to something as a general Maui
rice de SAKE. who. with the Irish brigade,
licked the British at Fontenoy, and by
mately enriched French literature and the.
woman suffrage people with George Sand.
The Keep to the right rule is the sole
scrap of wisdom left to manki. d by August
for his reputation IL the fact had been made
known sooner. His commands were dis
regarded, however. after his death and till
1856. when another much-abused states
man, Carlyle's friend, the Prime Minister
Count Bruhl Of the many breeches. whose
name still clings to Dresden's splendid ter
race above the river bank. not only estab-
lished minute regulations for the obsery-
ance Of the rule for "all coaches. wagons,
drays and other vehicles. sledges, riders and
foot passengers. pushcarts, sedan chairs.
bearers Of packs and of baskets" but post
ed policemen on the bridge to see that they
were obeyed. The irony of history sent
Frederick the Great Of Prussia to that
bridge soon after with painful results for
Saxony. while Bruhl withdrew to a world
where brooches are needless.
The rules and the policemen have stayed
on the Elbe bridge ever since. The un-
wary foreigners who starts out upon the
bridge discovers that he must go clear
to the other end unless he can eiude their
watchfulness and cross the roadway unde-
tected. Fines and arrest are the penalty.
The rule has spread to streets and side
walks and over the rest Of Germany, too.
and the frequent signs .recht fahren.'
''rechts gehen." prevent collisions and un-
seemly language. 1t does seem like strain
on the bump OF reverence, all the same, to
observe the anniversary of even so con-
venient a rule. Still, Dresden is a quiet
city that goes to bed at 10 and IL hard put
to 1t for excitement.

TO WIND UP AFFAIRS
RECEIVER OF THE PEOPLES saw
INGs BANK WILL ACT.

The controller Of the currency has been
given to understand that the directors Of
the Peoples Savings Bank, which was
closed a few days ago. have made no move
to comply with the conditions imposed by
the controller before the bank will be again
turned over to its officers. The decision.
therefore, has been reached that the re-
ceiver will wind up the affairs of the in
stitution as originally intended.
The controller will direct the receiver to
pay of the liabilities Of the deposttors as
rapidly as possible.
As to Remaining Assets.
If there are any assets remaining after
the depositors have been paid the stock
holders of the bank may decide to con-
tinue the receiver as their agent to liquidate
the assets for the benefit of themselves, or
the controller will turn the remainder over
to them to handle as they may see fit.
Within the next two or three weeks, 1t Is
stated. the receiver of the bank will make
his first payment Of a dividend to de-
positors. Before he makes the payment
he will give notice SO that proof of claim
may be established.
It Is said to be probable that the first
dividend will amount to 40 or so per cent
It is now believed depositors will be paid
in full. which. 1t is pointed out. will be a
great satisfaction to those who have money
in the institution.
