People who are at all familiar with
the difficulty of getting to our Union
Depot will not be very much SUR
prised when they hear that an acct
dent, fortunate in its results, occurred
there, to-day, at noon, in that the on
ly damage done was broken mail
wagon, horses thrown down by the
pilot Of an engine and their driver,
Tim White, thrown out on the ground
somewhat violently.
The space between the track ap-
propriated by the Central cars and
main line of the X. & d. M. is rather
narrow, barely wide enough for the
use of an ordinary wagon, and to-day
as usual, three or four buses and a
carriage or two were standing there
when Tim White, the driver of the
mail wagon, as careful man as there
is in the city, drove his team in at the
head of the line just as the mail trair
came around the curve. As the en-
CINE came near the team the horses
took fright, commenced backing and
succeeded in getting on the track jus
in time to be caught by the pilot ant
thrown down on their sides on either
side of the pilot. The engineer, 10
Tibbits, very careful man, reversed
his engine and applied the air brake
in time to save the horses from being
killed. The damage is only slight.
The horses are bruised up some, tn
wagon tongue is broken to splinters
and Tim was frightened unit! he wa
as white as a cloth. The next tim
it may be an omnibus and no Jo
Tibbets on the engine, in which cas-
something serious is likely to occur.

OBITUARY.

VIM. Marshall, prominent and
well to do farmer, who resided i'm
Adams township, died at his resi-
dence, Wednesday, May 9th, at half
past one O'Clock, r. NJ. He was con-
scious almost up to the time of his
death and he bid his many friends
that were present, long farewell,
hoping to meet them in a better
world, and passed quietly away into
the sleep that knows no waking. He
was buried the following day and a
large number of his friends followed
his remains to the last resting place.
He was formerly q resident of Kco-
kuk, Iowa. He came to Wapello Co.,
in 1851 and bought small tract OF
land and grew in the esteem of all
that knew him. Personally he was
very popular. His address was that
of refined, dignified, yet easy and
courteous gentleman kind of heart,
and liberal of hand. In business
matters, however, he was strict. Ev-
cry thing about him went like clock
work. Time was as much an essence
of the stationary as the running de-
partment of the farm. Under his
charge, regularity, punctuality and
personal accountability, was indis
pensable to the mnst e,,hnra;nato Pc
sIIIon. otrlcIry farmer, he has du
ring his whole life devoted his bes
energies and skill to the perfectinl
of the farm system and brought t.
its aid financial acumen, rarely seer
even among successful farmers.

The ahort-Horn Sales.

The event of the week at the Chica.
go Union Stock Yards, has been the
series of sales of thoroughbred short.
horn cattle. The report of the sale OF
Abner Strawn's Bluffdale herd shows
that the average price received was
greater than that obtained at Cres-
ton, Iowa, March 28th, for Messrs,
Lowman and Wilson's cattle, or al
West Liberty, Iowa, for the Wapsie
herd owned by Mr.. Jacobs. In the
last named sale the average price for
the herd was $43l.5O, while the sale
of the Bluffdale herd brought an av.
erage of $434.75. Wednesdays
sales brought an average of $369.6s
for 20 cows and heifers, $2l5.5O for
10 bulls. The noteworthy sale OF
Tuesday was of Strawn's Geneva Rose
by the 4th Duke Of Geneva, bred by
B. f. Vanmeter; she sold for $2,425
Wednesday Peris' Duchess sold fol-
$4,000, and Thursday the 23d Duchess
of Airdrie was sold for $4,000 to C.
E. Lippincott, one of the owners Of
the animal. Late in the day the ia.
nous bull 21st Duke of Airdrie sold
for $1,000. Considerable dissatisfac.
ton was caused by the bidding Of
Mr.. Lippincott for an animal of which
he was part owner, and the feeling
very materially affected the bidding
which followed, and lowered the av'
erage price of the sales of the day

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
KEoKUK, Ia, May 13.-Under the
recent consolidation of the interests
of the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw and
the Wabash Railway, some important
changes have been made in the run
ming arrangements of those roads at
this place. The Toledo, Peoria "
Warsaw will commence tomorrow to
run all its trains through to Keokuk
instead of Burlington, making this
the principal western terminus and
that the branch. 1t is probable that
the General Western Agency will
likewise be transferred to this point.
The Wabash has also changed one its
passenger trains SO as to run through
to this city, instead of Quincy
Another result of the combination is
that all through freight consigned to
the Wabash is now turned over to
the Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw, and 1t
| is impossible to ship anything from
here over the first-named road to
Eastern points. 1t is asserted in rail-
road circles that the object Of the con-
solidation is to enable the two roads
by uniting to compete more success
fully with the Chicago, Burlington Il
Quincy at Keokuk, Burlington, Quin-
cy, and Hannibal.

The Bakers, grocerymen on Market
street, nearly opposite the COURIER,
bought 800 bushels of corn of Jordan
near Iowaville,and they have furnish
ed us few specimen ears of it. 1t
was from this lot of corn raised by
Messrs Jordans, that the samples were
taken which took the first premium at
the Centennial Exhibition. We had
an account of this award not long ago
which was copied in all our exchan-
ges, and we presume the paragraph
has appeared in most of the papers in
the United States. We are informed
by Mr.. Baker that the corn was not
planted until the latter part of May
and the first of June last, owing to
the exceedingly wet weather, yet Jor-
dams estimated that much of the
twelve hundred acres produced
eighty, and some few acres more
bushels even than that to the acre.
1t is called the large improved
Pennsylvania yellow corn, and many
of the ears are over foot in length
Mr.. Baker says that the cob only
weighs eleven pounds to the bushel.
With the prolonged wet weather
still on our hands, the corn question
is an important one. 1t is perhaps
true that as rule corn well planted
any time in May in the Des Moline
valley will mature and make goot
crop before FROST provided it
thoroughly cultivated Itistharefnr
then of the greatest importance tina
good seed should be selected, and tina
corn should now be planted at til
earliest possible moment, for that
after all the Golden Fleece" of lows
Specimens Of this corn may be see
by calling at this office.

ANOTHER MYSTERY

We are informed that Batavia has
another sensation, the nature Of which
we are not sufficiently well informed
to state particulars as facts. The
story told us to-day was that there
was another case of supposed MUIR
der, the victim being an old gentle
man who it is alleged was killed by
falling from lounge. Somehow
suspicious were aroused that he was
the victim of foul play, that
the body two weeks after
burial was exhumed q post norton
examination held, when it was found
that the old gentleman's skull had
been fractured with club or some
other blunt instrument. The story
goes that some of his relatives had
been arrested charged with tn,
crime.

Markets

The readers of our Weekly, we arc
aware, look to the COURIER as their
only means of correct information in
regard to the local markets of Ottum-
wa, and while we exercise all the care
we can, it is impossible to predict
what the market will be for any
product, even one day ahead. Our
markets are carefully corrected on
Tuesday evening, from the most rcli-
able sources, and arc as nearly cor.
rect as they can be made. 1t will be
observed that the changes this week
are very slight and more clearly affects
the feed market. Hay remains prac.
tically the same as 1t was one week
ago although the figures show ,
slight decline. Corn and oats it viii
be observed is higher and now is il
good demand at $4,000 per bushel
Butter is also lower and the mar
ket is well supplied at prices giver
above, although prime quality ma.
bring a trifle more. Our grocery
markets. corrected by Messrs. Mort
arty & Mclaughlin and will we thinl
be found substantially correct W.

A New Way to Work Roads :.

EDITORS COURIER: We take advan-
tage of the present opportunity to in
form your many readers that it is
raining-also that we have some mud
in this part of the country-roads inn
passible and the only mode of COM
munication at present is snow shoes,
and part Of the roads are in such a
condition that q man would mire
down even on snow shoes-and now
comes the question-cannot the roads
be worked in such manner that with
the same or even less amount of Ia
Dor we can have comparatively good
roads? Can we not have law pass
ed by our next legislature in such
shape that the roads can be sold out
| in half mile sections to the lowest
bidder who shall bind himself to keep
them in passable condition. This
makes woodworking personal in
stead of public affair, and the per-
son buying can take his own time to
do the work and can at any time take
his tools and repair the roads Just
when it needs it-and often times such
repairs can be made in q few minutes
that if left until such time as the
public takes hold of it it would re-
quire half dozen men and as many
teams whole day to perform. This
under our present system, is where
our expense comes in, and one half
the work put on the roads amounts
to nothing. Now Mr.. Editor, do
not claim that this idea is original
with me for it is not. 1 have seen it
worked out to my .satisfaction.
have seen the tax for road purposes
reduced under this plan more than
fifty per cent and the roads improved
more than one hundred per cent. We
would like to hear from others on
this question, for IL certainly is one
that requires attention. We have
tried our present system thoroughly
and it has failed. Let us try some
thing new.
Politics are the look up now and
the tramps have lit out. w. P. ST.

FROM KEokvk TO NEW YORK

| Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
PEORIA, ILL.,, May 13.-The fast train
from Keokuk and Burlington via the
Toledo, Peoria & Warsaw, and Wa
bash y Canada Southern, and New
York Central to New York City went
into effect to-day. The predictions
that the Vanderbilt interest would
object to the move of A. L. Hopkins
seems to have proved groundless.
These two railway magnates have
been working together for some time
looking to this end, as their trial-trip
over the Canada Southern Road now
demonstrates. The time as now
scheduled from Keokuk and Burling-
ton to New York is as follows :
Trains leave Keokuk at 5 :35 q. M,
and Burlington at 6 10 a. M, via the
Toledo Peoria & Warsaw. This train
will leave Toledo at 10 10 p. M, via
the Canada Southern, and will leave
Buffalo at 7 80 and arrive in New
York City via the New York Central
at 10 p. M, making the trip from Keo-
kuk to New York City by this pro-
posed line in forty hours and twenty
five minutes.
