A correspondent of the Philadelphia Led
ger claims for Oliver Evans, an American,
the nonor generally given to Robert Stephen
son, the English engineer, of having invent
ed the tubulGr system Of stcam-bolers. He
claims that Oliver Evans engine is the only
one adapted to steam travelling, and that
the railway system of the present day is
merely the execution of Oliver Evans plan
In 1880 the Mechanics Magazine, published
inLondon, acknowledged the CLAIM. Of Evans
In 1893, says the american Historical Record
Evans constructed steam carriage, and 1t
was The first steam engine constructed on
the high pressure principle. He proposed to
run his steam-carriage on level railways, but
not finding sufficient encouragement among
his conntrynlen, he abandoned the idea Of
railway travelling by steam, patented his
engine, and applied it to mills

GALVESTON, Nov. IA NeaCs
special from Brownsville. giving an
account of n raid from Los Alamoss
causes some excitement. This de-
ecides the question of the existence Of
Ian organized band IN Mexico to IN
wade Texas. Los Aiamos is shout
one hundred miles from the Rio
Grande, has three or four stores, and
q good many inhabitants.
Mr. McGoyern, Custom House In
spector, recently from Edinbure says
a party of raiders were in Hidalgo
county about Eve days ago. They
had bales Of calico, &c, OF their
horses. They crossed the Rio Crande
between Edinbrrg and Ringgold-
The barracks are nearly one hundred
miles below Guerara. They were
from Matamoras and other owns on
the lower Rio Grande, and not from
Guerara. Ricardo Flores is stealing
cattle from this side. More than two
weeks since a herder of Calaya and
Donache was captured by a band OF
robbers, who tied his hands behind
him, bis feet under his borse's belly,
and turned the horse loose. After
grazing around for twelve hours the
horse went to q rancho and the poor
man was released. The marauders
collected cattle and drove them into
Mexico. This occurred about twelve
miles south of Brownsville. Three
days since four armed Mexicans stop
ped a United States soldier on the
road about thirty miles above here,
questioned him and let him go. A
detachment of mounted men was
sent from camp at Las LUCAS to look
for Mexicans, but the result is not
vet known.

An Mao. Farmer naraers HIs wife.

ST.. Louis, November l3.-The
Waterloo Monroe county, illinois)
7imes OF to-day has au account of
the arrest and preliminary examina-
ton of Barney McMahon, a farmer
living three miles from Burkesville,
Monroe county, for The murder Of his
wife on the ninth Of last August and
the subsequent burning of her body.
1t appears Mcmahon and his wife
lived unbappily, frequent quarrels oc-
curing between them, aud his chill
dren by a former wife treated her
very badly. Mrs. Mcmahon had
left home several times under harsh
treatment, bat had always been per-
suaded to return by her husband.
On August eighth Mcmahon sent
his children to visit friends. and on
their return next day were told their
mother had started for Bnrkesville,
since when she had not been seen or
heard of.
On the day Of the alleged disap-
pearance of the woman, McMahon
fred a log heap some distance from
the house, and kept it burning two
weeks. 1t emitted a terrible stencil,
and when asked the cause, Mcmahon
said he was burning chickens which
had died of cholera.
Suspicion having recently been
aroused that Mrs. Mcmahon bad been
foulIy dealt with, Samuel Protine,
an independent detective, was en-
ployed to work up the case. Protine,
and Prosecuting Attorney Reiss ar
rived here to-day. The Evening
Dispatch gives quite a lengthy ac-
count of the affair derived from them.
After McMahon's log heap burned
down, the ground was plowed over,
but on examination by Detective
Protine q few days ago, several hair
pins, several buttons, and bones,
which looked like finger bones, and
part of an upper jaw bone, with the
teeth attached, were found. This
led to the arrest of Mcmahon, and
the evidence adduced at the prelim-
mary examination, and improbable
and contradictory statements made
by Mcmahon and his children, led to
his being held in one thousand dol
lars bonds 10 answer the charge of
mauslaughter. Great excitement
exists in the neighborhood. Ne
Mahon is well advanced in life, and
has grown children.

more real benefits than the Radicals
have given them We shall not be
surprised If in 1870 twO-thirds OF the
negro voters in the South are found
