CHA8CE IN RAILROAD MAP Poxcha$ of Alton by Clover Leaf Means Hew System. COVERS BEST TSATFIC SECTIOJf Official f AltM, larlndlag the rresleleat, tm Be OUplnced by Ser Oeraera Wa4i on ' ' tsasaanlty. I NEW YORK, Aug. S4.-The announce ment that the control of ,the Chicago -A Alton r&llroad, which has te all Intents and purposes been transferred to the Clover Laf system, was a surprise to the financial district and waa the subject of animated discussion there. The prospec tive purchasers, who are delaying action only long enough to ascertain If the AN ton Is to get Immunity for the reballug In which the Standard Oil company was Involved, also control the Mlnnentxitlii & St. LoulS. which owna a majority of the stock of the Iowa Central. On the ratifi cation of the Alton t ra.tr action they will be in control of a system with a mllesgo Of 2.88 traversing some of the best traffic sections in the country. The transaction thus brings about one of the most Im portant changes of the railroad map that have been made for many mouths. Eventually the four roads will be morrd into one compact system. Uoanwhile the management of the fotn roads will be mado harmonious and close traffic arrange ments will be Instituted. I Clover Leaf official, will succeed afficer In tho Alton, It Is slated, and very likely President 8. Jt. Felton of the Alton, who has been retained In office during both tho Rock Island and Union Pacific control of the road will retire. SENSATION IN ALABAMA COURT Attorney General Charges Federal Jadrro wltk Improper Condart In Rata Case. MONTOOME1RT. A'.a..' Au. 2iL-When the hearing of the injunctions against sher iffs, solicitors and other stato offlcisla to prevent them from, Interfering with the operation cf the Louisville & Nashville railroad' in the rate litigation came before Judge; T. O. Jones in the Uulted StoU-s court today, Attorney General A. M. Oarber appeared on behalf of the state and created a sensation by announcing that the counsel for the rtate had reeched the conclusion not to appear In the hearing. The reason, he said, wa-j that becatine two days after tho grunting of tho original In junction by the court the presiding JudKo issued an elaborate opinion in the case be fore counsel for the state hsd been given an opportunity to argue the 4oeot!on in volved, which action, in so far as the at torney general knew, was unprecedented, and which opinion the attorney general and counsel for the slate considered final on the part of the court. Attorney Oeneral Oarber further stated that as this opinion bad been printed ia pamphlet form and distributed throughout the state, any argu ment on tho part of tho state's counsel tt this tlm. would be utterly futile. Colonel Oarber then withdrew from the court rootn and the hearing proceeded. Neither Colonel Oarber nor any attorney for the state waa present when tho bearing began, whereupon Judge Jones had a telephone message sant to the attorney general, who appeared and made his statement.

BUTLER STARTS PRESSES City Clerk Prooeeds with Printing of School Board Ballot RISKS VALIDITY OF HIS ACTION Willing t Have GtMM Bill Re. Jeeted la Order Have Tickets Prepared tm Time for Priaaarlew. City- Clerk Butler ha. decided to cause the tickets for the primary election to select candidate, for the school board to he printed and take ehanoe. on his action being sustained by the council which foots the bills for such mailers. Last year the primary election for school board members snd water board members cost the city about $175 and the cost will be about the same this yesr. Mr. Butler 1. willing to stand the chance of having the bill re jected, as being without warrant cf law rather than not have the ticket ready on time. - .So far the city attorney has given no opinion which Is satisfactory to the clerk. Saturday morning he said the primary law did not cover the nomination of members of the school board but had given no vrlt tcn opinion on the subject. Csrl K. Her ring, attarflay for the Board of Eluca'lon, gave an opinion to the city clerk, and when approached on the subject M'.d he woulj assume none of the duties of the city at torney, who Is the legal advisor of the city officials. Plea for Validity of Plaa. Mr. Herring has built up an Ingenious plea for the validity of the plan of nomina tion, of members of the Board of Educa tion by primary election, under the terms of the present law, or of some other law. His Idea, which he .scarcely calls an opin ion himself, Is based on the repealing clause of the pTent sot. This clause repeals In terms that part of Cobbey's Supplement to his annotated statutes for IMS from sec tion Mllsl to section Mil hi. - Reference to the supplement show, that ther. are no sections -exactly so numbered, the number, being 8811a- and BRllh. Mr. Herring con tends the addition of the figure following the letter Is' not such a designation of tho Suctions sought- to be repealed as wilt ac complish the object of repealing them and that, for this reason all of the sections Included within those mentioned were ntver repealed, but are now part of th. law of the state. He admits that the distinction Is purely technical, but maintains that 'It Is better to be on the Safe aide" and have the nominations mads under the primary law. Old Law Still Staads. If this contention be' true that part of the old law making the seventh Tuesday before the day of general election the date for tho primary It is pointed out. Is still a law and other primaries must be. held on Tuesday four week, before such elec tion, . Candidates would be sssesied 1 per cent of the emoluments of office ss a filing fee, and on filing fee shall be less thsn $10. OTHer lawyers declare the Idea of the sohuol board's attorney to be unsound as court, "would not permit a fly-spec" (ss they denominate the small figure which follows the letter In the number of tho section) to defeat the will of the legisla ture. The present confusion over the manner of nominating candidates may lead to the the name', of persons so nominated -or 'those nominated at the- primary shall ' placed on the' official ballot.- r CONSOLS CO BlGGING (Continued from First Page.) the sympathy of many of ths nonunion men.

There has been a recrudescence of crime lately In France. Of this there can be no doubt. It remains to be seen whether this fact will suffice without legislation to Induce the chambers to hesitate before definitely voting the abolition of capital punishment. Police Most Be Mngnlsts. M. Leplne, the perfect of police, like everyone else, has remarked the extraor dnnary influx of foreigners Into Paris dur ing the spring and summer sessons, and he has decided that the sergeants de villa shall b. taught foreign 1 languages to en able them to render service to th. foreign visitors. With this object In view, he has made an arrangement with a school for modern languages, at which a Certain number of sergeant, de' vllle will follow th. classes three times a week to learn Oermsn, English and Bpaiilsh. Naturally, at least In the first Instance, those ser geants de - vllle who posses aptitude for acquiring language, will be selected.. So far as can be gathered, the question of Major treyfus' promotion to the rank of lieutenant colonel remains In abeyance, and will not be settled one way or the other until Parliament reassembles In Oc tober. He is now understood to have writ ten to the minister of war,- not to tender his resignation absolutely, but to Inform him of his determination to leave the army 1 If he la not .promoted. According to the J Petit MarSelllals, Oeneral Plcquart Is as firm as ever in declining to help Major Dreyfus by taking the Initiative In submit ting a proposition to th. Chamber of Depu ties for Ms promotion, so severs! private Boambara af ths lower house are expected ta oobm forward instead. Thsy will, bow ever,, have to depend entirely on their own resources and on those of tlioir political friends, as the Petit M.rselllalS says that the government Is resolved ts hold en tirely aloof. Oeneral Plcquart la repre sented as having replied to a question en this delicate matter that he would neither oppose , opr. support, such a,n, application. But It appears extremely' probable that when the new session opens th. political friends of Major Dreyfus will, embark on an active campaign, with a view to secur ing a majority In favor of his advancement at the Chamber of Deputies. Philippe Antonettl, tried at Bastla, Cor sica, for the murder of Lieutenant Leyer D'Orth, whom, a. ha alleged, he .hot to avenge ths honor of hi. .later, Angsle An tonettl, ha. been sentenced to twenty years' penal servitude.
