Handing down twenty-six opinions,
many of which are of much interest
and Importance, the Supreme Court
Of Appeals yesterday took long
step toward the end of it's present
term, which will probably adjourn fl
nally on Wednesday or Thursday
Some of the cases decided are of
eral instances the opinions of the
court concerning them settle important
legal principles. The large number
of decisions did not create any great
surprise, as a number of cases argued
before the holiday recess were still
undetermined. and the legal frater-
nifty expected a heavy batch.

the second assignment of error Is not
we'll taken; but that the Circuit Court
erred in maintaining the tax upon the
standing timber and it's Judgment
must, for that cause, be reversed"
In this connection, it may be added
a bill meeting the first assignment of

standing timber when sold by the land
owner apart from the tax on the land.
The bill was offered by Mr.. Sterrett,

GRAIN.

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Men and not con- ditions were responsible for the sharp upturn of wheat today, the setting of new high marks being made possible by support by several bulls which caused an active buying by local shorts. Today's market was a re- hearsal of that of yesterday, the greatest activity and strength being manifested during the first half of the session and dullness and weak ness late in the day. The market opened weak with declines of 146Ssc to 5sc and continued heavy during the first half hour The market closed weak with declines of r G 5sc for De- cember at s1.OSAG3s and May at $1.0S5s.
 The corn market closed fairly steady with prices up A1%c. Final quota tions were, December 63bGAc and May 63c.
 The trade in oats was quiet At the close prices were unchanged to F lower; final quotations on De cember, 49k GAc and May 51hc

HILLS AND HARR|MANS
 MADE NEW RECORDS
Elsewhere There Was Lack of Interest in the Market.

New York, Nov. 1S.-There was no new incident today which acted as a determining factor on the movement of prices of stocks although operators in the board room and at stock quo tation tickers were alert as usual, in ranging the world for signs of such news. In its absence there was a marked show of the waning influence of some of the older factors which have been active for some time past, notably since the election.
 rise in Southern Pacific to above 120 established a new record for that stock and Union Pacific, St. Paul and Northern Pacific sold at the highest prices of the present year. The fail ure of copper to hold its advance fur nished the text for much discussion. The professional element had been watehing-for a reaction based on tech nical grounds for several days and a rush to follow the movement helped materially to extend the reaction late today.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales were of the par value of $5,412.0 900. U. s. bonds were unchanged.

susouehanna Bridqe Disaster.

One of the worst bridge disasters in years occurred September 23, when a loaded coal train sank through the great Baltimore & Ohio bridge, be- tween Perryville and Havre de Grace, Maryland, and plunged into the Sus- quehana river, a hundred feet below, carrying with it a 377-foot span of the bridge and cutting in twain the main line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad between Washington and Philadelphia. The loss was estimated at S30O.OOO or more.
 It seemed that no lives were lost, but it happened that there were no trainmen on the twelve-car section of the freight that went down. Just a few minutes before the New York and St. Louis express, running out of New York on limited time, passed safely over the bridge. Had the ex- press gone down the loss of life would have been frightful, for it is almost certainty that nobody would have escaped in the Niagara of steel and stone.
 This disaster was another instance of engineers miscalculating the weight a bridge under construction can stand. The old bridge of the Baltimore & Ohio across the Susquehanna was built twenty years ago. About year ago the railroad company decided to replace it with new bridge to cost g. .0GO, O,O0O.-FrOm Huge Bridge Falls Into Susquehanna, December Techni- cal World Magazine.

EDUCATIONAL MUDDLE
 ON M|QUELON ISLAND
The Colonial Government is Temporar- lily Powcrless.

St Pierre. Miquelon. Nov. 1S.-An armed force at the Government House includes also all the government em- ployes and customs officers in the city and a number of physicians. They went to tine building at the request of the administrator.
 At a meeting in the Grand Cafe du Midi last night speakers urged the peo- pie to remain quiet until a reply to the demands of the islanders had been re- ceived from the French colonal minis try. Today another meeting was held. Today many citizens advocated another popular demonstration and suggested that the American flag be placed at the head of the procession.
 Finally conservative advice prevailed. Teachers of the school over which the whole controversy is raging were so thoroughly supported by the citizens today in defiance of the government s orders to keep the school closed that officials were powerless to prevent them from opening the doors.

THF STARCH TRUST PUT UNDER FIRE
The Head of It Unable to Say Why 1t Should Be Protected.

Washington. Nov. 1S-The so-termed starch trust was under fire at the hearing of the tariff revision today before the house committee on ways and means. The ross-eXamination of B. J. Walton. representing the Corn Products Refining company, which it was claimed had monopolized the business. formed the most interesting incident of today's hearing of the tar if schedule covering agricultural pro- ducts and provisions.
 Mir. Walton admitted that his com pany sells corn starch in the United Kingdom at a price of forty per cent less than it is sold in this country. He also admitted there was less in selling corn starch in Great Britain.
 Mir. Boutell of Illinois wanted to know why Hill, the member of the committee from Connecticut, who is interested in the manufacture of an article requiring corn starch, could buy starch in England at $2.25 a hundred pounds. pay ocean freight of 10c. and secure delivery of the ar ticle at a saving of 3Oe over the price demanded in the home market.
 Where does the BOG gO?' he asked.
 "The committee can understand why you desire a protective tariff" said MT Gaines of West Virginia to the witness, but we want to know why you should have it."
 To. these questions Walton was un- able to reply.

 Such is the courage of the range.

 One town, Chrisholm, q city of six thousand inhabitants, was almost tot ally destroyed, a few brick buildings remaining Thousands in this place and the surrounding country lost every thing but their lives. Homeless, with out clothing or food, men, women and children fled for safety to the neigh boring towns, which every moment ex- pected a similar catastrophe. It is difficult to depict the horror of this fire In Chisholm one woman died of fright. In several instances people were carried out on their beds. The total number rendered destitute may never be known, for many were scat tered on homesteads and over wide range of territory with the settlements far apart, but twelve thousand surely suffered, and the property loss amounts to millions of dollars, while vast stretches of forests and agricultural lands have been dissatisfaction "Cheer, Cheer, the Gangs All Here" December Technical World Magazine.

THE $2OO A TON WEALTH
 OF BLUSH GRAY ORE
A Proof That the Camp of SyIvanite
 Was Rightly Named.

Bisbee. Ariz., Nov. 16-(Special cor respOndence of The Republican.)- Parties returning from Sylvanite are more enthusiastic than ever over the outlook here. According to Dr. John son dozen samples of the blueish gray ore, which some call syNanite, in none of which free gold was tc De found were carefully roasted by Frank Bene- dict the well known Cripple Creek as- sayer and all showed globuIes of the yellow metal and subsequent assays gave returns of over s200 a ton for the samples of rock. This is taken to be sure proof that the metal is sylvan ite
 The leases on the Broken Jug, Gold en Eagle and Wake-up- Charlie claims are rapidly accommodating large piles of sacked ore on their dumps and before many days loaded ore wagons will be leaving the town regularly.
 On the Nedderland group. a short distance east of the townsite, work was started a few days ago on small streak of ore which at a depth of ten feet only showed six inches wide and assayed from $22 to $26 a ton. At 12 feet it has widened to over fourteen inches and averages over $200 ton, showing both free gold and sYlvanite This property is only 1000 feet east of the Gold Hill which has shipped nearly 100 tons of $35 ore and today changed owners for a big consideration. The purchasers who are Fl Paso capitalists were represented by J. c. Elliot of Weed N. NJ, and a substantial first payment was made and a force of men started at development work.
 A big strike has also been made on the Clemmie group owned by Camp and Ish about two miles east of the town site.

FATAL RAILWAY WRECKS.-It is a re-
proach that persons should be killed
by scores and hundreds, for causes so
preventabe as defective discipline.
yet this is the greatest single cause of
railway disasters in the United States.
The recently published report of the
interstate commerce commission
groups the ten worst accidents for the
last year. and not one of them Is due
to mechanical failure of apparatus.
Only in one was apparatus even indi-
rectly responsible. Three cases remain
unexplained. and in all the rest there
was preventable blame on some part
of the railway staff. The reasons as
signed by the commission are, for eX-
ample. confusion Of orders" "diSre-
gard for rules" neglect Of whistle
signals" failure to deliver orders
"enginemen's neglect of orders" and
so on. New York and New Jersey and
the District of Columbia are about the
mCSt open to reprOach in this connec-
tiOn, which is the more remarkable be-
cause they might have been looked for
rather on the newer. Single-track roads
