Nebraska Is sharing In some ot th boom American liorao flesh Is enjoying across the We pond this year. J. W. La.ih ot Auburn , owner and trainer ot the noted Nebraska stallion , Pat L , and J. H. Cook of Julian left with forty head of horses for Calais , " France. The movement follows a precedent set some six months ago by Cook and another horse man of Julian , Mr. Uurgess , who shipped forty head to Calais and made a nice thing out of it. They expect to go permanently Into the business of shipping horsca lo for eign shores It they can make arrangements for handling their horses at Calais. Ot the batch that Is going over this time twenty are trotters , sixteen of which were ifalsbd by Lash. Among the number Is the - year-old stallion Grant L , a chestnut and a full brother to Pat L , who has a record of 2:09V4. : Ho Is expected to bring a good price In Europe. Mr. Cook took twenty heavy draft horses , all raised In Auburn. Under date of December 9 C. li. Garrison of Button , Neb. , writes as follows concern ing his stock : "I own and raised the trot ting mars IJonnle R , 2l3'i : ) ; own her sire ani dain , five full brothers and sisters , also bred her grandam and Brcat-grandain , Filly dam of Bonnlo K , Is 11 years old ; was sired by Pilot 'Mambrlno , dam Fan by Clay Ab dallah , grandam Sylph bv Zoro.

She Is a dark brown In color , stands 15 % hands high and weighs In racing shape 1,010 pounds. Geneva Hey , ono year younger than Bonnie H , trotted a mlle last season , with eight weeks' work , In 2:23 : % ; going ono quarter In 3314 seconds. Ho will be started In the alow classes next year and should beat 2:20 : quite handily. I am now Jogging the entire fam ily of Bowshot's and Filly's , and will cam paign six of them In 1898 , as they arc- very promising and are now In the finest condi tion.

Thla mare has been a regular breeder from the first and will drop 1icr eighth foal in Hio spring , all of them by Bowshot. " Jerome 'Eddy , a famous old trotting stal- Iton who at ono time brought a price of $23- 000 was a few dcja ago sold for $103 at an auctlca sale la iWakelleld , II. I. The big money was r < Ud ror iilm in March , 1883 , by Hcary C. Jowett & Co. of Buffalo , N. Y. He waa Mien 8 years old. . and had a record of 2:18M : , which u that time was eclipsed coly t > y the record of Smuggler , 2:15'/1 : , among trotting stallions. Such vi-3 the reputation ot Jerome Eddy that In 1882 the Buffalo as- socia''lon , at the grand circuit meettag , gave a spcc-al | puri'o ot ? l,50p to be contented for by BJdy ami the stalllca lOlack Claud. Eddy won the firet heat In 2:1GV4 , being driven that tast In a. futile attempt ' "A'beat ' Smuggler's cbnnploris'hlp record. TKe third end fourth heata were dead In 2:19 acid 2:29 : , respectively. Clack Cloud won. the race. The talk , how- 'over' , creatpl that day by a stallion 'trotting ,0 , mile In 2:1C : was greater even than over Star PoiUcr's mlle this season In 1:59V4. : It boomed the hcrse Into a sale to the Jewells for'$25,000.

Jewott & Co. kept Jerome Eddy until March , 1SSG , and dur ing these thirteen years they received from him In service fees $36,000. The Jewetts did not sell EJdy In their closing out auction sale , but a month later acid him to S. A. Owca of Hope , n. I. , for $500. 'Mr. ' Owen died recently : hence the grand old horse was again compelled , when 21 years old , to find a now home > : od a new master In the person ot Wanton K. Carptoier of iMatunuck , U. I. , and It will bo the wluh cf all hcraemen that the great trotter and successful sire will find comfort and rest the remainder of his days. Last spring hU alre , Louis Napoleon , 30 Tears old , was sold for a scog , taken to Eaglrjiw , end on lAuguat 24 last some children , playing with matches , set the tarn co fire and ono ot the mcst famous trotting sires of Michigan was cremated. A peculiar feature of a recent horse sale ia to bo' found1 In the fact that $25. bought a full brother of the sensational trotter , Azote , 2:01 : % , who Is believed by many horsemen to have peeu the fastest trotter over foaled , had ho , been turned out on a fast track at the right time. Ills brother was tried on the track , but developed no speed. Ho gained fame In being ono of Presldenl Cleveland's carriage team In the latter's last administration. About the time that the great Azote was raking In all the free-fof-al puses on the grand circuit ho was boarding ia the Whlto House stablts.

In 1S95 Kneeb took -stable of trotters to Kuropo and whll In Berlin trotted the mare Bcthol In a das : much slower than hers under the name o Nclllo Knecba. The deception was dlscoverci and the stringent laws governing race trac ! frauds In that country were at once put In force against him. The request for rein statement \vua heard on the grounds that th offender had been lliunclally ruined an physically broken In health by reason of Jili venture In Germany and In the light o tlioao facts the board allowed him the ful privileges ot the tracks within Its Jurlsdlc tlon. \i > lKlix amiVhIunlfii. .

U decision la to be rendered by Judge Manger of tic federal court which will bo of .uterest to all stockholders of loan and trust companlci In the state j\nd especially of those which lnuo falleil during 'the past years of panic. The question Is whQther or not the stock holder ! ) of such Institutions sliill bo hold llablo under the laws of the slate to the full amount of their holdings of stock In the ovcnt that the asst'ts oAha defunct compuiy nro not suniclciU toijpo out In full the claltn'J creditors hold against It. TliU ques tion has been raised In the receivership case of the American Loan and Tru.U company , which failed In this city in 1S94. The matter haa'como up In the shape of a motion ca the- part of the stockholders to discharge the receiver , Philip Potter , and to wind up a ml finally dispose of the case. The csso was brought by a number of cast crn stockholders and resulted In the ap pointment of Potter 0,3 receiver. Potter line been at work tor three jears In settling the claims and accounts acd early In the ycnr nicd hto final report and asked for hi' , discharge. Exceptions have been filed against the acceptance of the report , bu ; all of these have been on the grour. < Ja that the duties of receivership have not been satisfactorily performed and that Potter's c'.alms for fees were altogether too big. The Itutland County Nallcraal bank of Ver mont , however , has ra'.acd the new ques tion. tion.This This bank , In answer to the petition of the stockholders to bring about the dls-i charge of the receiver and the winding up of the case , has Illcd another , In which 1 asks also for the discharge of Potter , bti requests the appointment of a new receiver , This H3W receiver la to collect from the Gtockholdors amounts up to the full hold ings of stock to pay the claims against the defunct company In full. The sale of the assets of the company has sufllcod to satisfy claims only In part. The motion Is based on the grounds that the loan and trust company In reality en gaged In the hanking business. It Is charged that It loaned and otherwise uaod the do- pcalts placed with It in the transaction of a banking bitalness , although this nitty not hive been done directly. In consequence of this , it Is held that the stockholders of such company are not llablo for its claims , as are the stockholders of a bank. The stockhold ers maintain that tho. company never trans acted a banking business. They say that whatever money they loaned and Invested consisted of capital stock and proceeds of debenture bonds. All the deposits they re ceived , they contend , were held purely as rust funds anil were not handled. The matter Is being argued before Judge lunger. If ho should render a decision calrst the stockholders It is said that nn > : cdlngs are likely to be begun a'gatnst the ; ockholders of. ' all the loan and trust com- unios which uave'falled during recent years o'r the purpose'of securing from them satls- action for clalmd which were not fully paid P out of the SssetS of tucli companies. inrusns TO TIUXOH iiuairisrrio.v. . . .rillllli \ < > t JttM'iilrt-il to ( in tt > NCMV e Y/u-.k. , , , DENVER , CQo.iPec. ) , 28 , Governor Adams ils evening refused toiionor the requisition ' GoVernor B'lacK'or , > ? ew York , Iri the case f "William II.

A dhip-atch from Pcshawur says : The Urltuh columns have returned from Khybcr Pass after punishing wlt'.j slight op- pcaltlon the Zakka Khela In the Bazar valley. Military operations on the frontier are now concluded. Every Afrldl and \tukazal i valley has beiu visited. It now appears that the cnomy's loss has been more thaa first believed , and out ot all proportion to Its possible fighting strength. Its trade , without centers for the nccc-'sarles of life , has been closed and Its autumn tillage prevented. The corrnlcto submission of the Arakral's Is now accomplished. Many Cilthi/rto unknown strategical frontier routes have been surveyed and mapged out. The vaunted prestige ot the Afrldls has been lowered , and their punishment has paved the way for the permanent settlement of the country. It Is firmly believed that cut oft from India and threatened with au Invasion of their country In the spring they will now submit. It Is also expestert that the Internal friction resulting from the operations will prove almost as nevero a punli'juient as the eoeratons themselves. _ _ DAV1TT DEI'MJXIIS HIS COUVI'ltVMI3X.
