habit of getting drowsy and falling asleep
while evidence was being taken.
The subcommittee returned to Washing

commission one opinion and Commission
erS Clements and Lane handed in one op-
posed to the findings of Cockrell
After full consideration, the commission
rejected the findings of Clements and Lane
and gave Cockrell's opinion as the correct
one in settlement of the case-which NAV
mean that some evidence is valuable as a
Soporific rather than as substantiation of a
case.
THE Democratic Party has promised to
L take away from the Speaker the power
to appoint committees and to give this privi-
legc to a Committee on Committees. Now
the party doesn't want to DO it. Where will
they drift on the question?
This proposition was put up TO one OF the
~oldline' Republicans of the House, and
he said:
"The Democratic party in this respect re-
minds me of what happened to a little
donkey which was shipped in an express
car. The donkey had tag round its neck,
and nobody paid any attention to it during
the first few hours it was aboard.
"Then the negro who was working in the
car went up to the train conductor and with
great perturbation said, Boss, ! don know

"What's the matter? asked the con-
ductor.
ats dis way explained the negro. Dat

wom.n's Death a Mystery.

-Telluride.-The death Of Mrs. Lee
Borg is as great a mystery as when
the body was found. A coroners In
quest failed to produce evidence to
show the cause OF her death. whether
selfinflicted or the act OF murderer.
The jury returned a verdict that death
was caused by falling over the cliff.
but at the hands OF persons unknown.
The general opinion is that she was
murdered. from motives of love or
lust. and the only man upon whom
suspicion rests is Isaac Matson. 1t is
known that Matson is in New York
and intends sailing for Finland. II Is
believed that officers are waiting for
him to board the steamer before max
ing any effort to arrest him. as 1t would
be hard to locate him in New York.
The evidence at the inquest showed
Mrs. Borg's home life to have been
happy, that she was perfectly sane. OF
normal temperament and had never
even suggested suicide in any manner.

Fedora, Court Makes Ruling.

Denver-A decision was bonded
down by Judge r. f. Lewis, after nine
years in the Federal Court in the Unit
ed States governments $4.OOO,OOo
damage suit against the Rio Grande
and wealthy lumber corporations OF
Colorado and New Mexico for alleged
illegal timber cutting.
The decision is big victory for the
Rio Grande in every point except one
Judge Lewis held that adjacent lands
to a railroad ight-of-way from which
timber may be- cut for railroad uses
under the terms OF a congressional
grant, may not reasonably be over
three miles from the right-of-way. or
in certain instances six.
For all timber out at a greater dis
tance than three miles from the Rio
Grande right-oi-way 1t must pay the
government. In some cases the Rio
Grande went as far es nineteen miles
and persons connected with the road
have admitted that the damages may
reach as high as $500. 900. That is con-
siderably less than S4.O00.000. how
ever, and the Rio Gre nde officials felt
some relief when they read the de-
cision.
Judge Lewis ruled that a master
in chancery must estimate the damage
and will appoint one.
Judge Lewis then held that the con-
tract with the Santa Fe and the Union
Pacific not to invade the territory of
either, did not operate as surrender
of rights under the congressional
grant of June 8, 1872.
1t is further held. contrary to the
contention of the, government attor-
neys, that the San Juan railroad from
Antonito to Durango and Silverton
was entitled to cut timber under the
terms Of the grant.
It is held that lands in the Ute In
dian Reservation, from which the Rio
Grande cut timber. was subject to the
terms of the grant and the govern
ment canot recover there.
1t is held that the lands were ada

Broken Rail Caused Wreck.

New York-In an official statement
representatives OF the Lehigh Valley
railroad here said:
THE wreck OF the Lehigh Valley
train at Manchester was caused by n
broken rail. The rail was OF an un-
usually high class, for which a prem
ium was paid. The defect consisted
OF a 'pipe"-an air hole in the center
OF the web of the rail. extending about
fourteen inches. The defect was such
that 1t could not be deteced by inspec-
ton.
THE accident occurred just outside
the Manchester yards and trains do
not run through there at a greater
speed than twenty-five miles an hour.
Though this train left Buffalo forty
minutes late. it did not make up any
time between there and Rochester
Junction and a record of the time at
which it passed several stations
showed the speed limit OF twenty-five
niles was not exceeded"
