On Sunday afternoon as Mr.. Brutsche,
the active agent of the Adams Express
Company at Denison, Texas, sat quietly
reading his family Bible, preparing for
his evening devotions, stranger burst
into his office, and, in the rough manner
common to those regions, demanded to
know the cost of sending a corpse to
Dallas. Mr.. Brutsche, regarding this
as an act analogous to helping his
neighbours OK out of the pit, did not
think it would interfere with the fer
vency of his subsequent devotions, and
figured it ont to the stranger at thirty
dollars, and in answer to his inquiry
told him the train left at six that even
ing. The stranger guessed he would
have the corpse fixed up. But the agent
had his duty to the express company to
perform, and told the man he would re-
auire a physicians certificate as to the
disease which had made the corpse so
far ready for shipment. Disease,
hell 7" exclaimed the stranger. "I
don't want no certificate; / shot him
this morning, the id horse-thief. I
want to send him home to his mother. !"

Death of Dead.HeadiSm.

The pass-question has been settled.
The result was reached at meeting
held yesterday, in the Chicago and
Northwestern railway offices. The
officers present were: J. NJ. Walker,
President Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railway; L. b: Blackstone,
President Chicago and Alton railway ;
J. II. Mitchell. President st. Louis,
Kansas City and Great Northern rail-
way; S. S. Merrill, General Manager,
and John G. Gault, Assistant General
Manager, Milwaukee and st. Paul rail
way; Hugh Riddle, Vice-President and
General Superintendent Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railway Albert Keep,
President, H. H. Porter, General Mana
ger, and NJ. Hughitt, General Superin-
tendent, Chicago and Northwestern rail
way; President, John Newell, and A.
Mitchell, General Superintendent, Hi
nois Central railway 81. Pearson, Su-
perintendent Chicago, Danville and
Vincennes railway; and F. @. Hinckley,
President of several railroads, and re-
ceiver of one-the Gilman, Clinton and
Springfield railway.
The session lasted two honrs and q
half. The result arrived at will be salts
factory to every reformer. Every pass
will expire with this year, and no ticket
will be given to any one for which an
equivalent is not received. A consider
able disposition to favor ministers with
half-fare tickets was shown, but it was
concluded this couldnotbe done without
violating the terms of the Illinois law
against discrimination. No more half
fare tickets will, therefore, be issued by
the Western railroads. Members of the
Legislature, State Railroad Commits
sioners, Judges, ct al, who have hitherto
dead-headed" their travelling way over
all railroads in their respective States,
will be mercilessly cut off and made to
pay their fare after Dec. 31.-ChicagO

residences owned and occupied by
Senators and Representatives. Wash
