The board are still at work on his! bond and - Treasurer-elect Knight's. It is still said that there is not a shadow of a chance for Knight. The former treasurer.and Knight's opponent, Louis Lougee, died three days atter the election, so the board will have to settle on a third man. Your correspondent has heard no one mentioned in case a third man is needed. I There was much talk on the streets last night about the mandamus papers which were served on Governor Carr on Tuesday in the Bernard case. It is said the papers were gotten out simply as a 'forlorn hope." TheT board of agriculture, which has been in session here, yesterday visited the Agricultural and Mechanical college. They made a thorough inspection of the college itself, the shops, grounds, etc., and found everything in an extremely satisfactory condition.

He replied that he had a niece of land worth $000 and had a mortgage on it for $600 and that he was able to qualify for fi.uuu.

ANOTHER TRAINVKOBBERY. A Texas Pacific Express Held Up and nobbed of Near Ij $140,000. Fort Worth, Texas, Dec. 6, One, of the most daring train robberies:! ever, committed in Texas took place leight miles west of here and two miles east of Benbrook station this evening about 6 o'clock. As an east bound Texas and Pacific passenger train Iwas nearing Marys creek, it was brought to a sudden stop by a danger signal displayed on the trestle. The engineer was covered by three unmasked men, whoi boarded the cab and ordered that ! the train be backed up about half a mile when the fireman was ordered to break in the ex press door. He refused but a number of ; shots in the air . brought .the fireman to i terms. He burst in the express car door with a pick. One of the i robbers then kept the hreman and engineer covered while the others went into 'the express car. - Fort Worth is the end of - the ex press run and the safe doors were open. One of the robbers rifled the safes while the other kept guard over the messen- gers. At o o ciock tne train was stopped ana caircy minutes iitte ii was mi run Worth, The exact amount the robbers secured is not known, but it is said to have been near $140,000 in money!! and gold bullion.en route from San Francisco to Washington, and iexas facinc cnecKs. 1 After the hold up the robbers mounted their horses, told the engineer to go on and then made their way off in a north westerly direction. The express officials here say they do not know the amount taken, but that" it is the only through train from the west and carries every i evening a large amount of moneys On tne arrival ot the train at D"o worm posses were organized to "go in every direction thereby making- the robbers escape improbable. i ft SIGNIFICANT LETTER COMMERCIAL NEWS.

New Laface, one of the deputies was shot in the side and mortally wound. One of the outlaws was sht but escaped with the rest of the gang, pursued by the deputies. ? The Cook gang has separated into three parts and are operating indiffer ent paits Of the Creek jNation.

New Orleans, Dec. 6 The (twenty five round contest between "Shadow" Maher of Australia, and Charlie jJohnson of Minnesota, at 145 pounds, before the Olympic club to-night, for a purse of $1,500 ended in a draw. The" contest attracted a very small crowd and was one of the poorest exhi bitions ever witnessed in t,bi8 city, After twenty-five rounds of cjbcasional mixing, a few exchanges of body blows, considerable clinching and wrestling, Referee John Duffy declaredf that as neither man had any decided advantage, he could not conscientiously fname the winner, , f Postmaster Boddie Acquitted. Raleigh, N. C, Dec. 6. In the United States Circuit court here tojday a case was tried which created considerable in terest. Some months ago, postal cards wei'e freely circulated through the mails here, rt fleeting on the character of Mrs Pattie D. B. Arrington. tbje divorced wife of Baldy Arrington, of lash cour ty. The card3 were obscene and scur rilous. Postmaster J. B. ptoddie, of Nashville, was .indicted aiid charged witjh mailing the matter. The case was trid to-day. the jury returning a verdict of hot guilty, after being out five hours. Alii the Deople connected witsh the affair are) prominent. 6 Comp troller Eckels torday made an assessment of 25 per cent, oh ths stockholders of the National Shoe and Leather bank, of New York city, to make good the impairment of its capital by the defalcation of Book-N keeper Seeley, in conjunction with F. R. Baker.1 j Dr. John Miller Brown, ex-surgeon general of the navy, who is now on the retired list, is lying at the point of death, at the Portland apartment house from a stroke of paralysis which came yester day mornine The whole right side is affected. Dr. Brown is nearly 70 years of age. v The Republican Congressional com mittee has sent out a significant letter in regard to the contested seats in the Con gress. There are upwards of thirty dis tricts wherein defeated Republicans have indicated their intention of filing con tests. The committee has addressed to each of these contestants a statement notifying bim that he must not place any reliance on the large Republican major ity in the next Congress, but must rest his prospects for success on the merits of the claims he advances. x Probable con testants were - advised not to file their papers unless they were able to reinforce them with testimony of the most unim peachble character. The treasury balance to day stood at $154,727,000, of which$ 109,700,000 was in gold. The receipts are in excess of last month at thi3 time, It how appears to be certain that thagold reserve will not exceed $11 2, 000;000K instead of $116,000, 000, and if gold exports begin in any considerable volume it will not take long with the drain up on it by with drawals for United States notes and ex port purposes to reduce it below the $100, 000,000 mark. Most of thia gold is be ing taken out by brokers, and treasury officials do not ' conceal their vexation over the possible depletion of the gold reserve immediately after having re plenished it by a bond issue. Since the bonds were paid for by the Stewart syn dicate, about $4j500,0C0 in gold has been withdrawn from the treasury and , just prior to the issue f 5.CO0.OCO, making a loss so far of about $9,500,000. '. X Secretary Herbert to-day notified the Cramps of the (preliminary acceptnnce of the cruieer Minneapolis and directed them to deliver jher at once to the Gov ernment at the League Island Navy yard, where she will be put into com mission next week. She will., not be finally accepted andxpaid for until she has demonstrated the fulfillment of the contract under which she wa&jjuilt, by five months' trial under actual conditions of naval duties. Secretary Herbert also ordered the payment to the Cramps of $114,600, earned, by the cruiser ; as speed premium. . - . -;L' :. When the Democratic Senatorial cau cus adjourned this afternoon at 5 o'clock those who had been endeavoring to get some action that would make it possible to pass the so called pop-gnn Tariff bilLr and strike the differential duty of c. a pound on refined sugar from the sugar schedule, gave up all hope. No organized effort will be made to push these bills, nor will there be any cloture rule offered in the Senate with the endorsement of the Democratic caucus. This much was determined by ,the refusal of the caucus to act affirmatively upon propositions which had in view both cloture and the passage of the pop-gun bills. Aft'r a long discussion the caucus did, however, agree upon certain measures of proposed legislation to be presented for the con sideration of the Senate and" pushed to completion ifj possible. These subjects are as follows: A Bankruptcy bill; a bill for fthe construction of the Nicaragua canal; a Currency bill; bills for the admission of the Territories of Arizona and New Mexico, and the con sideration of jthe House joint resolution providing fo the election of the United States senators by tne people; aiso sucn other measures, including appropriation bills, as the j "steering committee? may deem important. This committee was instructed to report to the caucus the order in which these subjects of . legisla tion shall (be considered. While the committee baa not discussed the matter fully it is known that the Bankruptcy bill will be selected as the first measure to be taken up by the Senate, it having already passed the House and been reported to the Senate with several amendments. The recommendations of the President and Secretary Carlisle were only touched upon ' in ian informal manner. They were not ehdorsed nor commended. The Finance committee was asked to prepare such a Currency bill as they deemed best and report it at an early day and! the steering: cbmmittee was instructed to Stocks and Bonds In New York The Grain and Provision. Markets of Chicago. New Yobk, Dec. 6. The action of the American Sugar Refining company di rectors at the meeting yesterday in de claring the regular dividend on the common stock, notwithstanding the gloomy statements of the president of the company and the condition of the refining industry, led to a rush to cover short contracts at the opening of . busi ness this morning. The stock, which closed at 89f , opened anywhere from 89 to 90, 6,000 shares having'changed hands almost instantenously with the drop of the chairman's gayel. The ad vance led to heavy sales, and the pres sure of long stock finally forced the price back to 86f to 86J. This selling was based on the idea that the statement to be given out by the insiders as to the workings of the Wilson tariff law would be of a decided bearish character. The transactions in the stock aggregated 155,- 200 shares, making the total sales thus far this week '484,100 6hares. Reading was decidedly weaker, and de clined - 1 per cent, to 141. The bonds fell to ljvper cent. Chi cago Gas was pressed xf or sale and dropped a point to 71. Whiskey and Lead were stronger than of late, rising to 9 and 39 respectively. The Grang ers met with better support, andj ,on a more active business, advanced any where from i to IJ per cent. The belief is gaining - ground that Congress will pass some sort of an amendment to the Inter-State Commerce law, permitting pooling. Pittsburg and Western, pre ferred, rose to 32 i bid and Laclede Gas to 24. The withdrawals of gold from the Treasury Department and the reports of shipments by Saturday's European steamers had no influence. So far as exports are concerned, it can be said that the leading bankers do not know themselves at the present writing whether shipments will be made or not this week. The market closed from $ to per cent, higher on the day. Sugar lost 2i per cent, Lake Shore 1, Bay State Gas I, Chicago Gas i and Reading i. Consolidated Gas gained 1J per cent. Total sales were 263,809 shares. The bond market was active and strong. The sales of listed stocks to-day aggregated 96.000 shares; unlisted, 168,000 sharea,- Chicago. Dec. 6. At the close of . the wheat market to-day prices had fully recovered from a weak point reached earlv. and were even higher than at the end of yesterday's trade. The Govern ment's figures on wheat feeding, which were issued yesterday afternoon, did not confirm the extravagant estimates made by individualsi but the effect on to-day's market was very , mildj, for the reason that within the past two days influential pstrties, hadNjuoted an amount suspi ciously close to that approximated by the Agricultural Department at Wash ington and had operated on that basis. Three different reports on the growing winter wheat were outs tc-day, but the crowd.were pleased to reject them all, on account of the wide difference Bhown between them. An easy feeling obtained in the market at the start, prices receding to a slight extent during the early part of the session, but rallying on covering by shorts and buying against puts, and presenting much firmness at the close. Cash wheat was easy, sales, being made at ic decline from yesterday. The nomi nal close wa3 firmer with the futures. The speculative element in corn con tinues to look to the receipts for inspira tion. Although to-dav's arrivals of 291 cars were 91 more than expected, they wee not viewed as extraordinary, but quite the contrary. The sentiment of the crowd shows appreciation, of the changing conditions, and values reflect the improvement. Prices were firm to day, the close beins: slightly under the outside figures. Cash corn was about steady. A shade better prices were ob tained in some instances. Oats were without enlivening feature. The strength and weakness of the sur rounding pits found a reflection in the market, but the trade was so light that prices scarcely changed a fraction. The late strength in wheat was responsible for a firm close. Cash oats were quot ably steady. When the market for product opened a loss from yesterday was shown in the first orders executed. This was due to the doleful reports from the stock yards. A subsequent report gave an improve ment in the live hog trade and a prompt rally took place in provisions. Simul taneous strength in grain added weight to the firmness and closed prices at the outside point of the day with January pork and ribs each 5c higher than yester day and January lard 2i to 5c higher.
