More than this, be is threatened with prosecution in the United States court if hf docs not make some arrangement whereby his bondsmen will le relieved of the necessity of making good the de ficit. The first thing known by the bonds men of a shortage was u few weeks ago when the I'ostofiice department at Washington drew on the ex-postmnstcr for the amount which represented the sum lacking to make the Cannon ac counts balance something over $4,G00. Cannon could not pay it, and his bondsmen Messrs. V. T. Clcmmons, A. A. Featberstou, II. S. Harkins and V. 0. Muller were notified. After consul tation and investigation it was found that Cannon had $1,1H8 on deposit at the National Hank of Asheville. This the bondf men stopped the payment of and after going through the proper for mula paid this e mount over to Postmas ter Kerr and it bus been forwarded to Washington. This leaves some $3, -UK) yet to be paid. It is expected that a irovirnmcnt official will be here soon to lull v investi gate the matter. It is said that Cannon cannot make the deficit (if the amount stated is correct I good with the property he has, which is already encumbered. In case the bondsmen arc compelled to pay me amount 01 me otiiiicatian, there will doubtless be another court case. The facts in the case arc given The Citizen by one ol Cannon's bondsmen. Cannon was postmaster at Asheville full four years, and it was under bis ad ministration that the government build ing on I'atton avenue was first occupied. ITI'KI! HOMINY DOIs.

The Krcuz Zcitung savs the Russian holy synod has made extraordinary and highly important concession in the case of the adoption of the Greek fuith by Princess Alice of uesse. 1 ne princess refused to declare her former religion accursed or that her conversion was due to the conviction that her own religion was not founded upon truth, as is required bv the law ol the Greek church. She merely made the declaration that she hud joined the Greek church in order that she might be of one una wun ncriuiure Husband, and the holy synod accepted her declaration as sufficient.

There are sur face indications that the leading rail roads of the country will try and get to gether in the near future ia order to re duce operating expenses and prevent rate cutting. A story telegraphed from Chicago that a gigantic railroad trust is soon lo be formed, combining all the railroads ol the country running east and west, is but one ol the straws show ing w hich way Hie wind is blowing. Whether or not this "Trust." which ia intended lo have absolute control of traliic will materialize, remains to be seen; but one thing will be soon at tempted, and that is the doing away with the multiplicity ot agents. Before anything definite can be accomplished, however, the railroads will havetonwnit t he passage of the amendments to the inter state commerce law now pending congress. These amendments permit, among other tilings, a railroad to pool its freight nud passenger traliic, and in this way ruin ous competition and rate cutting are elim inated. Senator Cullom, the father of the interstate commerce law, who was against pooling wbeu the bll was first framed, is now iu lavor ol it, aud Senator Butler's com mittee on interstate commerce have 1. greed to report favorably to the Sen ate in Dicenilicr certain amemdments legalizing pooling. The house commit tee ah-ei have Sgrccd to a similar meas ure, so that it would seem to be only a matter of n few months until pooling will be n part of the organic railroad law ol tl e country. The "hard times" have been a factor in bringing the railroads nearer together. The concensus ot opinion seems to be that business will improve, but that this improvement will he gradual.
