Baltimore, March 20.-At todays

summate the community of interest
agreement with the New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad, with a
view to blocking the plans of Charles

The Merchants & Miners is to make
an exchange of securities with the
railroad. In order to do this the an

increase the issue of capital stock.
AS soon as the plans are worked out
the combined forces will make a
strong bid for new Florida and Gulf

lines. A new steamship line from
Baltimore to Jacksonville may be the
first move, and the extension will
probably be continued until several
Gulf ports are made terminals of trade
from Baltimore and Philadelphia.

MAsTOD0N BONES FOUND NEAR 1LLAH

I. S. Knight, who hasa ranch near
Zillah is wondering whether or not he
has got a second Bone Cabin Quarry
on his land, and whether 1t wouldn't
pay him to give up irrigation and go
into mining. Yesterday afternoon
workmen who were plowing and ex-
cavating for the new Lombard &
Horsley ditch uncovered the six-foot
thigh bone of a mastodon and later in
the day dug up a tooth that was all
most perfectly preserved, as well as
several smaller pieces of bone and
broken teeth.
The huge thigh bone crumbled
under the plow and 1t was impossible
but an effort will be made to preserve
1t as much as possible. The smaller
pieces of bone will also be carefully
kept. The big tooth, which is an ex-
cellent specimen (and which Is not
gold-filled), Mr.. Knight brought to
this city this morning.
The tooth is about eight or nine
inches high, some of the roots being
broken off, and is about 10 inches
long and three wide. 1t Is in an eX-
cellent state Of preservation, being
practically petrlfled, and the original
enamel is still to be found on its later
al surfaces. The serrations on the up
per or grinding surface are plainly
marked, and are ABOUT quarter OF
an inch deep. The tooth was evidently
molar, and shows no signs of decay
so it probably belonged to an animal
: that died in its prime.
/ The enamel on the sides OF the tooth
! is about a sixteenth of an inch thick
and it is slightly cracked but in good
/ condition. The relic of the old-time
giant of the fields was buried in the
soft, sandy soil, and so was saved
I from the battering of time, which
I doubtless accounts for its present fine
I form.
This Is the second find of this ma.
! ture that has been made on the land

BAD FOR HERMANN
LETTERS
WERE SURELY BURNED
Seven Chiefs of Departments Under
Hermann Testify That Letter Files
Containing Official Letters are
Missing Circumstances are
Against Hermann.

The case against ex- Congressman
Binger Hermann grows more unfa-
vorahlc as the trial proceeds, ac-
coralng to Washington dispatches.
The prosecution will probably con-
clu6e ny the end of the week and 1t
Is expected the defense will occupy
two weeks with its witnesses before
the case goes to the jury. To date
approximately 100000 words of tes-
timony have been taken.
Today the prosecution placed on
the stand seven chiefs of divisions of
the general land office who served
under Hermann, and all Identified
original official letters from the land
office files which were answered in
person by Hermann as commission
er.
All testified that they have been
unable to find In these files copies OF
the replies to these letters, the MEM
orandum in each case stating specifi-
cally that the letters were answered
by the commissioner. There were no
such letters.
Builds Up Government Case.
In answer to questions by Mr..
Worthington for the defense, Charles
n. Dubois chief Of the division OF
surveys, said 1t was a custom of the
office to give verbal information to
attorneys who might apply for it and
that no record was kept of such a
transaction,
FIe also said that 1t was customary
tn acknowledge the receipt of letters
by printed postal cards. In the cases
in question, the witness admitted
that, had an attorney applied in per-
son for the information sought in
the letter, there would have been no
record Of the fact in the office.
This evidence is intended to CIR
cumstantially establish the character
of some letters copied in Hermann's
so-called private lctterhooks. Coming
from division chiefs, this testimony
greatly strengthens the governments
case and will 60 far toward sustain
ing the governments contention that

contained many letters relating Il
land office business.

ed his opportunities for capturing the

There are a million Ifs" connected
with the history of the war, but one of
the most important 'ifs" is why Bragg

have been hardly any hope for the

ton our correspondent asks as to why
Bragg let Carlin's Brigade come to the

GEN. LOWELL II. ROUSSEAU.
An Ideal Soldier and a Magnincent Look
Ing III Nicer.

=" ~ eeSN.'
Editor National Tribune: Gen. Rous-
seau, the first Colonel of the 5th KY
and afterwards promoted to a Briga
dier-General. and stoISthe command OF
division, was an, ideal soldier, and as
brave as lion. OF magnificent phys
ique. portly and 9erect in carriage, a
splendid horseman, he presented the
finest appearance of any soldier ever
met during my term of service, and
probably no more popular commander
than he was in either army. The old
comrades will remember that when he
past thru our camps a tremendous yell
always greeted him. This gave rise to
the saying that when yell was heard
coming nearer and nearer 1t meant
either Rousseau or rabbit While he
was firm in the enforcement OF diScip-
line, yet it was done in such a modest
courteous way that his soldiers saw the
justice and necessity of his commands
The regiment to which ] belonged, the
nth KY, was assigned to his division
during the Bragg raid thru Kentucky
in 1862. One dark night we encamped
on very fine farm somewhere near
Taylersville. We had been commands,
ed not to destroy private property un-
necessarily, but this night Gen. Rous-
seau rode along the lines. and when
he came to our regiment remarked to
our Colonel (John H. McHenry): !:
Colonel, let your men burn all the
rails they need here, as this farm be-
longs to old rebel" A few
days after this came Perryville, during
which Gen. Rousseau called for the 18th
KY. to move to a certain point, and
learned that our regiment, thru mis-
take, had been detailed to guard a
wagon train to Springfield. Gen. Stark
weather's Brigade, to which We be-
longed, was on the hottest part of that
bloody field, and we only escaped the
battle by the aforesaid mistake. This
we learned afterwards at Bowling
Green, where our regiment was de-
tached and ordered to remain in Ken
tucky during the Winter. The morning
we separated from the division Gen.
Rousseau ordered the regiment to
come before his headquarters. When
we were brot to a parade rest he came
and stood before us and said he could
not think of parting from us without
apologiZing for not allowing us to fight
the enemy on our own soil. He said
his orders were for some one of the
new regiments that had lately been at
tached to the army to guard the wagon
train to Springfield, but thru some mis-
take our regiment had been detailed in
stead. 1t is hardly necessary to state
that since In all probability the lives
of many of us had been saved thru this
mistake that his apology was "ac-
cepted." That reminds me that while
we were at Springfield the body of Gen.
]. S. Jackson. another Kentucky Cen
eral, as brave man as ever drew a
sword, who had been killed at Perry
vile. was brot in and guarded one
night by a detail from our regiment.
His body now lies in the cemetery at
Hopkinsville, KY, where he lived before
the war, marked by marble shaft
erected by his devoted comrades.-C.
