st Louis and Ship Island Railroad.

st Louis and Ship Island Railroad.
There is now COM leted from st. Louis
to Cairo, on the Illinois side Of the river,
a splendid threesfoo! guage railroad and
the Brownsville and Ohio Railroad has
changed its gauge from five to three feet,
and is to connect at Cairo, thence through
Union City to Brownsville Thirty mi.es
of grading from Brownsville north are
finish ed, and the balance of the grading
from Brownsville to Union City-a dis
lance of sixty miles--is let out and will
be finished within six months. The dis
lance from Brownsville to Middleton,
through Bolivar, is forty miles, where it
will connect with the Middleton, Ripley
and ship Island Road, which is to be ex.
tended this year to the Gulf Of Mexico ;
making nearly an air line of three~feet
gauge railway from st Louis to AIissis>
sippi City or Ship Island, which is the
| finest harbor on the Gulf of Mexico. AS
it now is, every ship which comes to our
| Gulf coast has to be towed up by tugs
| from the mouth Of the Mississippi to New
Orleans, a distance of 100 miles, and
then hauled back The ship must also be
unIoaded partially or lifted up by lighters.
This costs for each ship load $500, as
we are informed; wheI cas- at Ship Island
the largest burdened ship rides directly
up to the wharf At the last term Of our
Chancery Court, upon petition of our
| citizens, W. NJ. NOrment, Jesse b Frank
| lin, E. P. McNeal, John l. Jacobs and
Needham Simpson were appointed Com
missioners to solicit subscri ptions for .
road from Middleton, through Bolivar, tc
Brownsville, making link in this great
road; and as it is desirable that the " hole
line be consolidated as soon as possible
the Chancellor appointed a special tern
of the Court at Bolivar, to be held on tins
fourth Monday in March, when a charter
may be obtained. 1t requires 81 900 {
mile to organize. Let every Commits
sioner go to work, and the charter can b,

WOMAN OF COURAGE.

The little suburban village of
Bustleton, near Philadelphia, last
Friday, witnessed a runaway, fol-
lowed by acts of bravery and pres
ence ofmind on the part of a lady, who
with her husband, says the Press, is
well known to many OF our citizens.
The stage coach from Smithfeld to
Frandford, in passing through Bus
;leton, drew up at the Bustleton ho-
tel, kept by Mr.. Robert Murray
There were three ladies and gen
tleman in the coach, which was
drawn by two very spirited horses,
and as the driver alighte1 and went
into the hotel for a moment, le,did
not hitch his horses: out merely laid
the reins on the seat of the carriage.
At this moment the animals took
fright at the sudden emptying of a
pail of water, and at a bound they
were racing down the street at head
long speed. The gentleman, who
was seated at the front of the coach,
made his way to the back and got
out, and was flung heavily to the
ground, receiving severe cuts about
the head and face. Meantime, the
coach with the three ladies was
whirled down the street at a speed
that threatened instant destruction
to the coach and possibly the death
of its occupants, but a lady passen-
ger, Mrs. Bushnell, was equal to the
occasion. STOPPING over the seat
she secured firm hold of the lines,
and taking turn or two of the
slack around her wrist, put out her
strength to check the speed and
guide the progress of the animals.
She succeeded in checking and final
ly turning the horses around and
driving them up to the hotel, when
half a score Of strong arms helped
the brave woman out of the carriage
amidst the warmest praises of the
excited crowd who witnessed the
transaction.

LIABILITY For DAMAGES.

Heretofore it has been customary
with an railroads to-print on free
passes of every kind a disclaimer
against liability for damages to the
person accepting. The Supreme
Court of the United States, has,
however, just rendered a decision
which invalidates this stipulation,
SO far as regards that large class ol
passes granted @on account Of
freight" as for instance, drovers
tickets to return home free after
having disposed Of their cattle. In
these cases the Court held the con-
sideration to be obvious and the ex
ceptions on the back to be of no eff
feet. The decision does not in
clude the ordinary complimentary
pass on which no consideration is
apparent; the sum of it being that
in all cases where a consideration
of whatever sort, is given for the
ticket, the company is liable fol
damages. The opinion is of genera
public interest.

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT.

A Scientific journal gives an inter.
esting account of some successful
experiments which have lately been
made in Germany in the direction
of improving the qualities of pig
iron, by pudding in contact with a
small percentage Of fourspar. The
object of this Is to remove the phos-
phurus of the iron, to which its OBJ.
jectionable qualities are due; and
the result, it is said, has been to
produce fibrous bar of iron, not
at all cold short, although the pig
iron employed was of poor quality,
in consequence of containing
large quantity of phosphorus. The
subject is of considerable practical
Importance TO very large and i'm

ate vicinity. H...

al STOKES.


The Supreme Court of New York
having denied the petition of the
murderer Stokes for new trial, the
doomed man has but one chance
left, and that no better than for
lorn hope. His counsel will now
apply to the Court of Appeals, which
sits at Albany next month, but on
what grounds can he expect release
it is difficult. to see. 1t has been
ordered that he be brought before
the Supreme Court in general term,
on Monday next, to be re-sentenced.
II. the Court should fix for the exc
cution a day prior to the sitting of
the Court of Appeals, that might be
the end, but probably a longer in
terval will be allowed, and the pris-
oner given 4 last chance for his life.
The Supreme Court sustained in ev-
cry particular the validity of the
trial of Stokes before Judge Board
man, Judge Davis himself, who
granted the stay Of the proceedings
in order to the appeal, concurring
in every point. II Stokes is hung
it will not be in obedience to any
public prejudice, passionr claomor,
whatsoever; but because the law
and the facts and a just public opin-
ion demand his execution as q mur-
derer.. The laws delays will only
serve to make the final sentence
more convincing and emphatic as a
warning to evil doors.

TRIUMPH Of MUSIC.

The great Festival of music in
Cincinnatti is now over. 1t was
all and a great deal more than
its friends had anticipated it would
be. A master hand is at the helm,
and wonders being performed. The
Orchestra together with the grand
Choruses are beyond description.
The Ninth Symphony of Beethoven
which has been pronounced imprac-
ticable and too difficult of rendi-
tion by the Sondon critics, has been
successfully rendered, with tremen-
dous effect, at Cinclnnatti during
last week. Westward the Star of
music takes its course. Boston has
been cqualed If not excelled, by
Cincinnati, Chicago, will try her
luck in June. g.r -.afrt5-

WARS IN PROGRESS.

There is a very respectable mum
Der of petty wars in progress at the
present time, despite the theory that
the world is at peace. We have oul
Modoc war, our trouble with the
Apaches, and a possibility of a
somewhat extended Indian war. In
Cuba, the instruction still contin-
ues, with no signs of yielding ON the
part of the patriot Cubans. In Spain
the Cariists, who were at war with
Amadeus still continue to contest
power against the Republic. In AL
geria there has been an outbreak
against the French, and at last ac-
counts fighting was still in progress.
In Central Asia the Russians are
prosecuting their war against the
khivans. While it may be a pro-
longed war, it is important as cx-
tending the power OF Russia toward
British India. In the Dutch East
India colony of Sumatra, a war is in
progress between the Dutch and At
chenese, who inhabit the northern
portion of the Island. Thus far the
natives have been victorious. FL
nally from Panama we have news of
a revolution-an affair of compara-
lively little consequence. Thus we
have very respectable war record,
made up in time of so-called peace.
In most of these wars is represent
ed an advance of the civilized ele-
ment against the barbarlans or saw
age powers. 1t serves to Illustrate
the tendency of the times-the pro-
gress OF civilization and intelligence
as against the dark and barbarous
elements of the world.

INTERESTING TO THE LADIES.

caSnlOnaDle laQleS Will be inter
ested in the particulars of a recent
discovery at Pompeii, whether they
care cent about archaeology OF
not. In the porch of house, un-
covered by the excavations, two
skeletons were found, one of them
evidently that of a woman of fash
ion in her day. Her skeleton had
on its wrist massive bracelet of
gold, formed of linked rings. In
the garden of the same house were
found several statues, one of them a
marble Venus, holding in one hand
an apple of gold. This Venus was
colored, and It's drapery and hair
shows what were the most fashion
able colors two thousand years ago.
The hair was colored yellow: the
eyelashes and eyebrows black. This
proves that the ladies of that age
their hair after the blonde
style so much in vogue recently
among modern beauties, and that
the blonde was then the proper
thing for goddess. The drapery,
which depends from the left shoul-
de-, leaving the right arm and
shoulder bare, is a pale yellow tint
outside, lined with red inside, with
blue edges. A smaller statue shows
yellow, blue, black and green drape-
ry. The hair of the Venus arrang-
ed in the ordinary classic knot; but
that of the smaller statue is unbound,
running through hoop of gold
around the back part of the head.

DEATH OF oAkEs AMes.

Oakes Ames, eof Pacific railroad
and Credit Mobilier fame, died at
his home in North Easton, Massa-
chusetts, on Thursday evening, af-
ter having been insensible for three
days under shock of paralysis
which ended in this fatal result.
Mr.. Ames was born in the town
where died, on the 10th of January,
1904. and was, at the time of his
death sixty-nine years Of age. Most
of his active life was spent in man
ufacturing, but of late years he has
been prominently associated with
the building and management of
the Union Pacific railroad. In 1862
he was elected to the Thirty-eighth
Congress from his native district
where he served in his first term on
the Committee on Revolutionary
Claims and Manufactures. Being
reelected to the Thirty-ninth Con-
gress, he was appointed on the com
mittees on the Pacific railroad and
Manufactures. He has served con-
tinuously in Congress since his first
election, a period of eleven years.
Mr.. Ames was a Republican, but
not politician. Politics with him
were subservient to business. His
course in public affairs has led to
the general belief that he sought
election to Congress simply as a
business operation-that he might
use his position and influence as a
member of the House for theprotec-
ton and promotion of his business
schemes and interests. In the pros
ecution of this design he laid him
self open to the censure of the
House, narrowly escapeing expal-
sion, in connection with the Credit
Mobilier matter, which is still fresh
in the memory of the public. No
doubt the strain, and the agitation,
modification attending his part in
that unhappy affair, was the imme-
date cause Of the prostration which
resulted in his death. 1t is, to say
the least, remarkable coincidence
that James Brooks and Oakes Ames,
the only two members censured by
the House in that transaction,
should both have died within about
two months after the adjournment,
and within ten days of each other.
The lesson is one Of solemn impres
sion for the living, from whatever
point we look upon it.

From the Cleveland Herald, MAY G. !
CHILD ABDUCTION.

Two Children Stolen from circleviIIe--
One of Them Fonnd in Roman Cath
ole Institution in Cleveland.
A singular and interesting case Of
abduction has just been developed,
the, facts connected with which, in
brief, are as follows: Edward B.
Clark, living in Circleville, Ohio, has
two children, Edward, aged four
years, and Ada H.. aged two years.
Mr.. Clark is Protestant and his
wife Roman Catholic. As is not
unusual in such cases, there have
been differences between, husband
and wife in regard to the education
Of their children and the religious
influences that should be thrown
around them. The matter was f.
nally compromised by giving the
children into the custody and guar
dianship of their grandparents-the
father and mother of Mr.. Clark
and for some time this arrangement
has been carried out. "r T--H
On Friday, April 25, Mrs. Clark,
under the pretenee that she wanted
to have their pictures taken, got
possession of the children, and put
them on railway train in custody
of Mrs. Baehr. As soon as they
were missed, their father, who had a
suspicion of the disposition that
would be made Of them, went to Co.
lumbus, procured a writ of ha6eas
corpus, and caused dilligent search
to be made in all the Roman Catho-
lie institutions of that city, but
without finding his children. He
gained information, however, which
induced him to believe they were in
Cleveland. qU .'rab '-fat 80
Last week Mr.. Clark and the
grandfather Of the children came to
this city. The necessary papers
were placed in the hands of Deputy
Sheriff Ridgway, and he spent the
greater part of two days in searching
for the children. The boy, four
years old, was found in one of the
Roman Catholic Orphan Asylums,
taken before Judge Tiiden on Sat
urday and given into the custody
ofthe father. The girl has not vet
been found.

HOW GENERAL CANBY WENT TO HIS
DEATH. tlrl. i-

Mr.. F. Steele, of Yreka, California
who narrowly escaped capture by
the Modocs some time ago, urged
General Candy and the Peace Com
missioners to beware of treachery,
and under no circumstances to place
themselves in the power of the In
dians, as he was convinced from
what he saw at the time of his es-
cape that the next party visiting
the lava beds would be massacred.
General Candy was strongly inclin
ed to follow this advice, as he was
satisfied from his own observations
that Steele had reasons for convey
ing the warning, but DR.. Thomas
was firm in his Theory that the In
dams would not be insensible to his
kindly intentions, and General Can
by accompanied the commissioners
'from a sense of official duty" and
there is little doubt that the brave
old soldier walked into the lava
beds the consciousness that there
was little hope of his returning
alive. In his last interview with
.
Steele, when that gentleman, upon
taking leave of him, begged that he
would not expose his life to the
treachery of General Candy replied: ::
Il believe you are right, Mr. Steele,
and shall regard your advice; and
then, with pleasant smile, he ad-
ded, "but it would not look very
well for the general in command to
be afraid to go where the Peace
would venture"

AMERICAN LEATHER.

During the last nine months there
have been exported from the port OF
New York $4,000 sides of sole
leather-an amount unprecedented
in the annals of the trade. Not
withstanding this large expectation
English dealers are reported to have
but little stock, and the drain of
next year promises to be even great
er than that OF the present. Now
that American leather has gained &
foothold in European markets, what
was at first deemed an experiment
will no doubt turn out to be a con-
siderable item in balancing our for
eign importations.

Patrick Brennan was sentenced to
two years Imprisonment in the pen

Judge remarked that the prisoner
would come out in the spring. To
which the prisoner replied: "Yes,
