There are 25S places mot $50, as hereto
fore stately in the city where the registers
are in use. Bar-rooms and retail dealers are
included in this number.
There have been several estimates made
of the probable amount OF revenue that will
be derived from the registers. Ia twenty
FIVE very well patronized saloons the amount
registered for week was equal to $3.50
say $4,000 per annum. In each OF these
saloons there is sold both alcoholic and malt
liquors. Many others sell only alcoholic,
and the retail dealers are required to pay a
lighter tax than the bar-room keepers. II
these twenty-five do fourth of the business
the whole amount for the city would be
S7a,S00; if they do fifth it would be
s9l, 900; if sixth, s109,200. Specific taxes
are to be added. Richmond usually pays
fifth OF the liquor-taX of the State.

Who is Osman Paslla?

There are still ''soldiers of fortune in Eu-
rope who fight Tor money and glory. The
Turkish army contains a good many of them,
and under the high sounding title of ''Pasha"
there are Englishmen and Irshmen command
ing brigades and divisions whose gallantry
and skill have completely astounded the Rus
sian invaders. And now queer rumor comes
across the ocean to the effect that the hero of
Plevna, who inflicted such terrible punish
ment upon the Russians, is no less person
than Marshal Bazaine. This may all be idle
guess-woTk, but there is nothing improbable
in the story. 4
Bazaine has the fighting instinct strong
within him, and there is nothing in his career
that would negative the suspicion that he has
gone into the service of the Sultan. Although
the son of an officer of high rank, who could
have procured him commission in the army
to begin with, he volunteered as a private in
1881, and won the Marshars baton in 1854.
Between these years he passed through all the
grades of promotion, and took part in thirty.
three campaigns He fought in Africa, in
Spain, in Italy, in the Crimea, in Mexico, and
finally in the great Franco-Prussian war,
from Borny to Metz, where his star went
down in darkness. France put the blame Of
the hnmiliating surrender upon him; and
wherever he may be, whether commanding a
corps in the Turkish army or living in obscu-
rity in Spain or Belgium, he is an exile from
his native land.
Marshal Bazaine was tried before military

TIME FATAL RAIL.
Terrible Accident Near Des
MOines.

DEs MONIES, August ga terrible acci.
dent occurred on the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad at four O'Clock this
morning, near Altoona, a short distance from
this city. The number of killed is estimated
all the way from ten to fifty. All the train
but the sleeping car went down into the
stream. The engine is completely out Of
sight. Barnum's show car went down among
the rest.
The accident was oc ,asioned by the wash
ing out of bridge, a. 1 occurred about four
O'Clock in the morning.
The bridge was over what is known as Lit.
tie -Four Mile creek, nine miles east of Des
Moines. 1t is little stream, generally quiet,
and never before known to be as high as it
was made by the unprecedented rainfall of
yesterday morning and the night before. The
bridge rested on stone arch, twelve feet Sin
the clear" by walls five feet thick.
Most of the killed were in the car in front
of the sleeper. The scene at the time of the
accident is described as terrific. Rain was
falling in torrents, accompanied by wind,
lightning and violent thunder. The crash put
out the lights, and the scene of terror ensuing
may well be imagined. Those who were rot
injured, and who could get out, went to work
to rescue the living and wounded. They had
to go mile to farm house to get axes to cut
them cut, but they worked heroically, and by
daylight had most of the wounded rescued.
Officers of tbe road were at the wreck all
day, caring for the dead and wounded. g

the spoils, and that quarrel cannot be settled
by the use of the shotgun in negro cabins
