THE EASTERN WAR.

A special from Bogot, about eight
miles south of Plevna, has, the follow "
ing: "The Gar arrived here on Oct.
81 Grand Duke Nicholas has his head
quarters here. Gen. Todleben is at q
TucheritSa with his staff The Prince, of
Roumania's headquarters are at Poradin.
The attack on Tehetche, simultaneously
with the capture of Dubnik on the Gath
ult, was repulsed with the loss of 1, 900
men. The loss at Dubnik was 5000
men. Every brigade and regimental
commander was killed or wounded, and, +
as nearly all the officers of guards arer-
personally known at headquarters, the I
fact that 200 officers. have been placed
hOrS de combat has cast a deep gloom
over the staff at Bogot. The lombard

Senator Morton Is Dead.

..-.-r $3.50 s.-. INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1,
Senator Morton died at $50 p. m
About noon Mrs. Morton and her sons,
by her request, were left alone with the
Senator for about an hour. What passed
between them is not for us to inquire.
Before five o'clock it became evident that
he had entered upon his last hour on
earth. He had rested greater portion
of the day in halflying and half-sitting
position. As he grew weaker the sup
porting pillows were withdrawn, so that
he lay prone upon the bed. A deep
silence now peryaded the room, and. re-
mained unbroken except byan occasional
question to the dying man. Once, when
the Senator exclaimed: 81 am dying"
his sister-in-law, Mrs. Holloway, inquired:
You are not afraid to die, OiIverY"
He indicated "no" by shaking his head.
Soon after a similar exclamation, ques
tion and answer passed between him and
DR.. Thompson. At 5:10 he exclaimed:
II am dying l am worn out, )" and these
were his last words. From this on it
was difficult to discover that life re-
manned, Onthe Doctors announcement;
" He is going, the gaze of the wife and
sons became fixed on the face of the
husbandand father, with now and then a
piteous look of inquiry toward the doc
tor, until his further announcement; ".It
is over" The widow clasped her sons
to her bosom, exclaiming quietly but in
tones neverto be forgotten: "My darling
boys% The friends withdrew, leaving
them alone for time, when they were
tenderly taken from the room. .. .-.4...

tors age. .-......-...

While mileage was increased by 2SoG

decline IN labor and materials, TO say
nothing of the larger use OF steel rails,
an important element in lessen

ten years railroad mileage has increased
more than tour times as rapidly as the
reputation. The earnings from trans
portat'on of freight, mails, etc., Tor
1876 were upon l5l ,US2WD tons oil
freight. As compared with the pre-
yious year the tonnage transportation
shows an increase OF G,O12,OOD, while
freight earnings show a decrease OF

TO great reduction in rates OF tranSpOr-

PUBLIC sentiment on the all absorbing
topic Of the day will be best formed by
recollecting that there are two sides to
the question. The railroad companies
have rights that are entitled to respect
and they have claims upon their EN-.
Dloyes that should not be forgotten. On
the other hands the employees should re-
ceive fair consideration from the man
ayers Of the roads, and disposition
should be shown to grant the reasonable
demands OF the workingmen. Nothing
can be gained by an obstinate or uuyield-
ing disposition on either sede.
