THE DISAPPEARANCE OF \. w. WALKER
of Mr.. A. w. Walker, who, since Friday
night, has not been seen. A search among
his effects resulted in the discovery of a
package Of letters addressed to his sou a
letter to his wife. and one addressed to w.
w. King, l.. Madison Day, Mr.. Ellis and
Eugene Waggaman. These letters were
dated the ninth instant. and indicated his
intention Of committing suicide. They will
soon be offered in the proper court for the
purpose Of opening his succession. But
these letters do not establish the fact Of
suicide. As to the revcIses which he had
suffered. they were not without remedy, and
he was man known to have sufficient
mental resources to have recovered from
every shock. lie met an attache of this
office Friday and after exchanging re-
marks about the hard tines, spoke in an
encouraging manner, saying, while
there's life there's hope" The loss of
large amount OF whisky IN late legal re-
verse ID supposed to he the immediate cause
of his unfortunate end But there are still
too many doubts about it to pronounce it a
certainty.

advertisement, but simply as an explanation
When We have a Railroad from Portland
South on the West Side of the River, it will
open up new era for the citizens of the coun>
ties through which it will pass. Every man
can take his wife, leave the children with their
uncle. go to Portland and gather up full list
of supplies, at very trifihg expense, and at a
figure far below country prices, providing there
were not merchants through the country up
with the times But there will be plenty oflive
men in the arena. All the old fogies will have
to give way, buy themselves little farm, and
retire to quiet life. This is not sarcastic, but
downright truth, ms history of the past proves.
And | expect those that are now little children
will relate 10 their children in time hereafter
how that, in the olden time, over there, on the

The people of Locust Grove, sub

that the house of Mr. Graf, an editor
on tobacco journal, and seemingly
we'll to do, was found open, and the
furniture, household utensils and valu-
ables, together with the family, were
among the missing. 1t seems that
about three months since, Mr. Graf
started on commercial trip to Europe,
and took with him his little daughter.
child of ten years of age, leaving
Mrs. Graf, handsome and engaging
woman of thirty-ive years of age, to
await his return, which Is expected
soon. All the Injuries fond husband
could lavish on his wife, handsome
carriage, horses, splendid furniture, a
house fitted up with all the modern
improvements, books, paintings, etc,
were all here, together with an inter-
esting little daughter. the pride of the
household. Hardly had Mr.. Graf got
beyond the shore of the country on his
outward bound trip, before a visitor
made his appearance in the person OF a
young, sleek-looking man, with down
on his upper lip. whose attentions to
the wife and mother began to attract
notice. This parsonage was none other
than a Mr.. Latting, not twenty one
years of age, 1t is reported that he

exit from the natural opening, leaped

aud before morning not vestige re-
mained. The horses were found in a
stable at Hunters Point, where the
couple had left them, after taking the
ferry>boat for Now York. The where
abouts of the party are not now known.
A week or two since Mrs. Graf com.
menced to make up extra dresses, an
the supposition is that they left for
Europe. The course Of the lady has

AMERICAN ARMS.
The Gatling Mitralleuse Adopted by the
British Government.

A British journal thus comedies the
merits of one of the latest triumphs of
American skill, the Gatling Mitrail>
leuse: "This weapon, sixty batteries
OF which have been ordered for the
British army has bore of 0.42 inches,
and weighs 8 cwt. 2 or. II ID, the
weight of the gun carriage being cwt.
8 or. 7 fb. The lead bullet weighs $50
grains, and the charge of powder 80
grains. Each battery, so far as the
trials at the ranges at Plumstead
Marshes and Shoeburyness have gone,
will have hitting, wounding and kill
ing power among broken Infantry on
uneven ground. at ranges of from 200
yards to 1000 yards, of 900 a minute ;
but in close column of infantry, bat
tery would hit 1000 minute. In the
hands of British gunners its real mili~
tary value and service nses have yet to
be tried in the exigencies and viclssi-
tudes of actual warfare. In adopting
this new weapon into the service, 1t has
been found that no new class of gun
can meet all requirements. Within
ordinary rifle range, or up to 1,4O0
yards, the small Gatling was found
more effective than field guns, but with
longer ranges the field guns had the
best of it. The new gun possesses q
maximum of destructive power with Q
minimum of weight and size, is easy tc
maneuver. and can be fired with accu
racy of aim without recoil thousands o
times. The 800 or 400 milrailleuse,
just ordered will be manufactured a

As they arrive in England, they will b.
brought to Woolwich, and will form

Artillery, their batteries being distinc
from those of the field guns"
