"One thing is certain," said he, ''and that is that the scale presented by the Amalgamated association will have to be modified or the manufacturers will not accept it.

New Yobk, December 30. District Attorney Martin to-day filed the following memorandum in the matter of the charges made against Jay Gould and Russell Sage by the bondholders of the Kansas Pacific railroad: "This is an application to present to the grand jury a charge of larceny against ay Gould and Russell Sage, under section 54 of the penal code.

In my opinion the acts with the commission of which the defendants stand charged, constitute a crime. A possible obstacle to a successful prosecution of the persons complained of is the statute of limitations. Yet there are strong reasons for believing that this obstacle is not unsurmountable. The statute under which it is sought to prosecute may be construed bo as to enable the people to proceed notwithstanding the statute of limitation, and such construction would have much support in reason aud common sense. The question is so close and the interests involved here as well of the people as of the defendants are so important it see us proper to leave the determination of this question of law to the courts, and in order to eflect this result the acti should be laid before t'-ie grand jury, and if proven an indictment found and tried." title to these lands as they have to this conn try right around Talequah, and by which they hold this; land.

The guests were at the house. Every arrangement had been mad, and Vanlicu and the preacher repaired to the Lewis residence on time, but the wedding did not take place. Mr.

Lewis called Vanlieu and the preacher aside and informed them that Miss Cora had changed her mind at the last minute, refusing emphatically to be married. The heartbroken lover left the house abruptly, and the guests were dismissed without explanations.
