STATE JURY DEFIES1
Governor Glenn Will Sum-
 mon an Extra Session.
MARION COURT INDIC1s AGENTS.
Alabama Enters Fight Against Rail- roads on Rate Regulation Laws Having Similar Grievances
 to North Carolina.

ASHEvILLE, N. G.. July 27.-A dis patch from Marion says the grand jury of the state superior court in session there has returned indictments against the ticket agents at both Marion and Old Fort.
 The Southern railway ticket agents at Marion and Old Fort, indicted for violating the passenger rate law, have been arrested and placed in the GUS tody of the sheriff. This is only the beginning of a renewal of hostilities between the state and the federal courts and the Southern railway re- sulting from Governor Glenn's refusal to agree to the proposal of Assistant Attorney General Stanford.
 Governor Glenn, it is said, has prac- ticaIly decided to call an extra session of the legislature.
 Judge Lyon of the superior court has been holding the grand jury in session at Marion for two days with the pur- pose, 1t is assumed, of having ticket agents indicted in the event Assistant United States Attorney General San ford fails in his peace negotiations.
 Several superior court judges have ignored the subject of a conflict be.

Danbury, July 27.-The last day of the Metropolitan Circuit races here was as disastrous to the talent as the preceding ones, King Axworthy, who left the wire in the 2:13 trot the favorite at even money, being beaten by Morn, who was almost a long shot. c.

TWO HORSE RACE.

Detroit, July 27.--The third days grand circuit racing was favored by bright skies and a fast track, al- though a stiff wind prevailed. The attendance exceeded 5000. The free for-all pace was the star event of the day, Angus Pointer being the favor ite at $50. the field end being in de- mand at s45. It proved two-horse affair between Angus Pointer and Baron Grattan, Geers drawing the finishes so fine with the Grattan gelding in the first two heats as to give the field ticket buyers heart dis ease. but he got the decision by a scant nose each time. The first heat in 2:03% is the seasons race record. It was Baron Grattan all the way in the third heat.
 The 2:15 trot had an even dozen starters, Dewitt being the talents choice on account of recent half mile track record of RISK. Tickets on him cost $50. Lotta s35, The Pa colet s15, Kim s30, the field s15. Me- Henry was up behind Lotta, and with Geers' Tempus Fugit led about all the way. this pair putting up pretty finish with Lotta winning by head. Kim and The Pacolet set the pace in the next mile. but 1t was Lotta and Dewitt at the finish, Lotta again winning out. Lotta and Dewitt were first and second again in the third heat
 The consolation purse of the cham Der of commerce had six starters. Dan S. was favorite at $50. the field s60. Shaughran assumed a long lead and won the first heat. pulled up in 2:oek. shaughran and Dan S. had a dual affair of 1t in the next two heats. with Shaughran an easy win ner.
 The 2:0s trotters were a bad act ing lot at the score. Lillian R. was first choice in the auction pools at $50. the field $50. Kid Shea held the lead to the final turn. four of the six starters making breaks, with Lillian R. the winner in the stretch. The favprite also had enough speed to come from behind and win the next two heats. the second in 2:0sk.

GON EhNOn n. D. uLENN. tween the federal and state courts, and Judge Fred Moore advised against further indictments of ticket agents, but Judge Lyon has expressed himself in the strongest possible terms.
 He declares that the ticket agents violated a criminal statute and should be indicted Hike a horse thief"
 Mfr. Sanford spent part of the day here in conference with Judge Pritch- ard of the United States court and railroad officials. It Is expected that he will report to Washington that his visit In an effort to bring about har- mony was fruitless.
 A special from Montgomery, Ala, says that the bill appropriting s50,000 for resisting the fights made by the railroads on the rate regulation laws of the state was passed by the house and now goes to Governor Conner. As 1t is one of his bills, the governor is expected to sign it at once.
 The Alabama situation is somewhat similar to that in North Carolina, ex- cept that Governor Conner is not at tempting to violate any of the orders of the federal court and Is willing to let the matter be fought out in the courts.

were John Tyler. Willard Fillmore. Andrew Johnson. Chester A. Arthur and Theodore Roosevelt.
 -k-
 E. B.-Do the equinoxes divide .ha year into portions of equal lengths, and when do they fall?
 A. No, the divisions of the year made by the eQuinoxes are not of equal length. The earth is at It's greatest distance from the sun dur ing the summer months, and It's an- gular motion in Its orbit being con. sequently slower the interval from the vernal to the autumnal equinox is greater than that from the au. tumnal to the yernal. In other words, the sun continues longer on the northern than on the southern side of the equator. At the begin. ming of the present century the diff. ference amounted to days, Id hours and 51 minutes. The summef In the northern hemisphere is conses quently longer than in the southern by this quantity. The vernal equinox comes about March 21 and the au. tumnal about September 22.
 T. J. F.-Please print recipe fol blackberry cordial. @ Also recipe for the best lime whitewash. (3) Name five of the foremost states in point of education, and five of tho most illiterate in their order?

VERY SUCCESSFUL MEET.

Albany, July 27.-The harness races at Woodlawn park yesterday brought to close one of the most successful meetings ever held on a local track. In consequence of a slight shower at racing time the at- tendance was not as large as usual. The talent was jubilant, as favorites won. The feature event of the day was the free for all pace and specu- lation was brisk. After Royal R. Sheldon took the first heat, Jubilee had no difficulty in leading the field in the final heats, not being called upon to extend himself at any stage.
 The 2:23 trot was gift to Burma Girl. In the third heat of the 2.23 pace J. A. O. behaved badly, and Driver Moody was taken out and Erskine put in with no better re- suits. Moody then was allowed to drive again and was distanced. Easter Direct after the first heat won the 2:23 pace handily.
