THE NEW YORK CENTRAL RAIL. ROAD PENALiZEp FOR A
 LARGE AMOUNT.
CONVICTED OF GIVING SUGAR REBATES
A New York Court Upheld by ths United states Circuit court--Amer- icsn Sugar Company Received the Rebates--other Fines Assessed--A Bad Day for Railroad Companies.

Washington. Feb. 24.--The verdict of the United States circuit court for the Southern district of New York, imposing a fine of $10S,000 upon tho New York Central Railroad company on the charge of granting rebates tI the American Sugar company was affirmed Tuesday by the supreme court of the United States.
 The rebates to the American Sugar Refining company were given on ship. ments of sugar in 1903 from. New York to Cleveland and Detroit Six offenses were charged and fines ot slS.000 each were imposed by tho trial court.
 The government prosecuted under the interstate commerce and Elkins laws. Between New York and Cleve. land the railroads published tariff calls for a charge of twenty-one cents hundred pounds while the rate to Detroit was twenty-three cents. The cut in the first instance was five cents and in the second two cents
 The court also rendered similar decision upholding the lower court in the case of shipment to Cleveland in which fine of $26,000 was i'm. posed
 The case of the United States against the New York Central & Hud. son River Railroad company involved the question whether a railroad com pany, which is a party to rebate transaction but was not the initiatory road, can be criminally prosecuted for violation of the Elxins antitrust law also was decided by the court against the company. The New York Central was indicted in connection with a number of other companies, in. cluding the Missouri Pacific, on the charge of granting rebates in 1903 to the Brooklyn Cooperage company on cooperage material shipped from Pop lar Bluff, Ia, to Brooklyn, N Y.
 It was shown that all the railroads concerned in the shipment had joint tariff of thirty-five cents a hundred on such goods between the points named. and that all of them had been parties to rebate of five and thrse-quarter cents a hundred on ship ments made by the Brooklyn com pany.
 The New York Central was the de livering carrier and it replied to the complaint by filing demurrer in which 1t took the position that as il was not the initial company it could not be held criminally responsible un- der the law. The case was heard in the United States circuit court for the southern district of New York and the demurrer sustained for the reasons given. The government i'm mediately appealed with the result that it obtained a reversal of the lower courts holdings.

THE cooPER-sHARP TRIAL.
Two of the Defendants Were on the
 Witness Stand.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 24--When count adjourned Monday night in the midst of the cross-examination of John D. Sharp, the honors seemed divided between the state and the defense in the CooperSharp trial, for the slay- ing of former United States Senator Edward w. Carmack Young Robin Cooper, under cross-examination, of nearly four hours, appeared cool. The next witness and the only other one of the day was John D. Sharp. another of the defendants.
 Sharp told his story under direct examination. On direct examination Sharp swore that he saw the killing and that "Carmack fell after Robin Cooper had fired three times"
 One of the bullet wounds, neces- sarily fatal one, pierced the senator's neck within one-sixteenth of an inch of the spinal cord and came out un- der his tongue.
 On cross. examination Sharp said Carmack turned his head just as the second shot was fired. He did not explain how the senator could turn his head far enough to permit the ball to enter the median line of the neck on a straight line. The state pushed Sharp hard up to nearly D. m. Sharp left the stand with evident relief His faithful little wife, who has never missed a minute a, his side in court, sprang up to meet him and cheeree him with smiles and encouragement

MADE A WATERFALL
Safe Blowers Wreck the Strong Box of I. Nj. Dover at Hatfield. But
 Overlook the Cash.

J. T. Higgins of Hatfield was in Mena Wednesday and reported that Hatfield was visited by professional safe blowers Tues day morning They wrecked the safe of T. M. Dover, one of Hat field $ leading merchants, but secured nothing of value to them selves, although a large bill book and some notes and other papers are missing.
 A sack containing between $40 and $50, which was in the safe, was found after the cracksmen had left.
 About 3 o'clock Tu sday morning a number of Hatfield people heard the report of the explosion, but the yeggmen had taken advantage of the storm that was raging, and paid little or no attention to the explosion, think ing it was a clap of thunder.
 Later, when the discovery was made, the safe door was found in the middle of the room, fifteen feet from the safe, which was badly demolished.
 Books and papers were scattered in every direction, and the large purse missing, while the sack of money was found among the wreckage, where it had been over looked by the robbers.
 So far there IS nothing known regarding the identity of the parties who did the work. The building was entered by breaking out a window.
