FOR
INCREASE OF BOND
County Attorney Wants Bond Of
Alleged Robbers Of Inman's
Store Increased.

An application for an increase Of
bond under which three colored men,
Benjamin Pyles, Conway Armstrong,
and William Bailey are held while
awaiting action of the grand jury, has
been filed in the superior court. These
are the three men charged with the
robbery Of the Inman grocery store.
The bond at the time the cases first
came up was set at $500. Since the
men have been bound over new evil
dence has been produced which makes
the presumtion of their conviction
great, according to the application. 1t
is further stated that the crime OF
which the men are charged calls for
sentence OF not less than twenty
years and that under the circum-
stances the bond Of $500 Is wholly
inadequate. The court is asked to in
crease the bond to $1,000.

MEDIATORS WILL
NOT TELL ANYTHING
Ban Of Secrecy Placed on Negotiations
in Effort to Prevent Railway
Strike.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, July 27.-The ban Of
secrecy was placed on negotiations
conducted by federal mediators to-
day in an effort to prevent a great
strike that would paralyze the western
railroads and neither the mediators or
representatives Of the railways Or the
employees would give any indication
as to how the situation stood this af-
ternoon.
The mediators met the committee
OF general managers at a protracted
forenoon session and conferred with
the employees committee this after
noon. The fact that negotiations con-
tInued this afternoon when practic-
ally hopeless Saturday night, indicate
the managers are disposed to grant
some concession that will lead en-
plcyes to accept arbitration by fed
eral board.

SERVIA'S REPLY
FULL OF DISHONESTY
Austrian Foreign Office Gives Out
Statement Regarding the
Utimatun1.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
VIENNA, July 27.-Declaring the
Servian government is prepared in
great measure to comply with her
demands, the Austrian government to-
day issued a statement outlining its
view Of the Belgrade government $
reply to the ultimatum delivered last
week.
"Servia's note is filed with the
spirit Of dishonesty" the foreign Of
flee declares, clearly indicating that
the Servian government is not serious
ly determined to put an end to the
culpable tolerance it hitherto has ex-
tended to intrigues against the Austro-
Hungarian monarchy.
THE note contains such far reach
ing reservations and limitations that
the concession made become insig-
nificant.
The statement points out particular
ly that the right Of Austrian author
tiles to join towards arresting ac-
complies in the plot to assassinate
Arch-Duke Ferdinand on Servian soil
has been denied. The request that
measures be taken against the press
hostile to the dual monarchy was also
rejected, while the demand that as
sociations declared dissolved and be
prevented from operating under an
other name, was not even considered,
the statement declares.
The foreign office regards the de-
mands made upon Servia as represent
ing the measures necessary to guar
antee permanent peace with Servia
and the Belgrade reply was therefore
rejected as unsatisfactory. The state
ment declared that the Servian gov
eminent itself indicated that it real
lied the reply was not satisfactory as
mobilization Of the army was ordered
three hours before the note was de-
livered and the reply concluded with
q proposal for arbitration.

NEW YORK, July 27.-With Aus
trials apparent rejection of Servia's
proposal of submission appearing in
this mornings news, side by side
with the collision at Dublin, between
the home rulers and the troops, a
crash on Europe's stock exchanges
was 4 foregone conclusion, but our
own markets opening was awaited
with the deepest interest. New York
sustained the shock in a way which
conclusively proved the strength and
soundness of the American position.
Our market had to withstand not only
the reflex action of the panic as an in
fluence of sentiment but it had to take
upwards of 60 900 shares Of our stocks
thrown out by Europe and to provide
in a hurry, 100000 more export
gold, for which London and Paris
were today bidding such abnormal
rates as utterly demoralized the ster-
ling market Yet prices opened here
with a decline SO slight as to start
them / to points above the early
quotations for the very same stocks at
London. Under the subsequent pres
sure of direct sales for European &C
counts, prices fell back a point or
more, with larger decline in some
shares; but the afternoon was marked
by steady and strong recovery with
most Of the days loss regained before
the close.
The day was one which the Euro
pean stock exchanges will long re-
member London which usually
would have been the mainstay for the
rest Of Europe, was hit between wind
and water by the bloodshed at Dub
lin-possibly the very worst conceiv-
able circum stances so far as regards
English politics and Irish disorder,
under which the first real clash in the
home rule struggle so recklessly in
vited by Sir Edward Carson and
