Freight Rate Hearing Questioned as Justified Increases
The Interstate Commerce Commission resumed a hearing on freight rate increases to Texas and Southwest points. Lincoln, an expert on tariffs, refuted the claim that the advances are justified. The Merchants' Freight Bureau of Little Rock seeks to drop the case amid talks to consolidate with the current hearing. A postponement was urged as railroads work to adjust the matter. The bureau charged higher St Louis to Arkansas rates without matching rises to New Orleans and other cities. Separately, farmer James Frank of Denton was seriously gored by a cow.

Bank Stops Business in Temple and Goes Into Liquidation
The American Bank and Trust Company of Temple closed its doors and entered voluntary liquidation. John J. Cox, president, said the bank’s affairs are in the hands of State Bank Examiner Dezavalla, with deposits of about 4000 dollars. Arrangements were made to pay all depositors in full via a Temple bank. The failure is blamed on the panic last fall. Confederate pensions drop to 15 dollars per quarter for two quarters, amid a 250000 dollar appropriation.
