Proposed Railroad to Yellowstone Park

The Ral1ay Age looks with dis
trust upon a project mooted in Omaha
! company has been incorporated in
Nebraska with the ambitious object of
building railway to be called
the Omaha and National Park
railway, from Omaha via the Niohrara
valley to Yellowstone park. This great
national pleasure ground, it may be
| necessary to remind our readers, hes in
the northwest corner of Wyoming Ter
ritory, end is tract of land 55x65
miles IN extent, near the center of
which lies the Yellowstone lake, body
OF water l5x22 miles in size, with an
elevation Of 7,421 feet above tho sea.
This region, which has wisely been set
apart by Congress for the public. cou- :
puses some OF the nest sublime and as
tonlshing natural features to be found
on the earth, aud in course of time as
the mesns OF access are improved, it
will be the result Of wonder seekers
from the four quarters of the globe.
The project Of n railway from Omaha,
however, is almost chE,erical. The
distance is at least 500 miles. and while
the route up to the Niobrara valley
nearly to the Wyoming liue is practca.
BILE, the remaining half of the distance
Is largely wild, mountainous, barren
.unpeopled country. through which a
railway. will be, for decades at least
| only dream. It is not snpposahle
that The projectors of the Omaha 4
National Park railway" think seriously
OF such a destination as the name indi.
Gates. The National park. however
will, before many years, be accessible
without difficulty. as the proposed line
OF the Northern Pacific railway runs up
the Yellowstone river through Montana,
to within 50 miles or 50 of the Wy,
oming line, and the prospects for the
completion OF that great enterprise now
seem encouraging. -Er.

Senator Mitchell in his Portland ex-

comparison of different rates of charges
for freights in the United States. aud
that the rates charged by the @. s. N.

as high as those of any other water
transportation company in the Union for

them for these high charges. They are

depart therefrom, nor permitting on siders
to approach it. In this manner the officer
quietly awaited hour after hour, and at late
hour on Wednesday night his vigil was re-
warded by seeing Richmond slowly walking
up to the house. Everything appeared serene
about the premises, and he walked unsus-
pectingly right into the arms Of the waiting
officer, who took him unawares and had him
disarmed before Richmond could say Jack
Robinson.
We learn also that after the capture was
made the sheriff of Lawrence county re-
fused to permit Graham to lake his prisoner
out of the State without requisition from
the governor. As it would necessarily re-
quire several days to obtain the necessary
papers the prisoner was taken in charge by
the sheriff and placed in the Lawrence
county Jail, where he is now awaiting the
papers from Jefferson which will take him
back to Kansas, the scene of his cowardly
murder. The feeling is naturally very Bit
ter in and about Chetopa, and it is safe to
conclude that Richmond will get the full

A FRENCH MURDER

As,other Old Woman Killed For Her Money

ConsOrted srith Pro1ligate YONng Men.
Paris Correspondence London Telegraph.
The epidemic OF murders, assassinations
and mutilations which has visited France
during the last two years keeps the criminal
tribunal constantly occupied. It is only a
few days since Barre and Lebiez were COR
demned to death, and the mystery of the
Rue Poiiveau is now succeeded by the crime
of Neuilly. Some eight months ago an old
widow lady named Cremieux, who was
76 years of age. and resided at
Neuilly, was assassinated. One of
the perpetrators of the. crime ap-
peared before the assize court of
the Seine this morning; the other, Belgian,
will be tried at Brussels. The former is
twenty years of age, the latter only sixteen.
It was on Dec. 10, last year, that Nine.
Cremieux was found on the floor of her
room bearing marks of violence. Her nose
was fattened to her face, and bandage tied
across her mouth. The victim, as the act of
accusation says, was entirely destitute of
moral sense, and the assassins were addicted
to the most infamous vices. It appears that
Nine. Cremieux led strange life. She re-
fused TO live with her children, and preferred

to remain in an inexplicable solitude. Not
that she was morose or ill-natured; on the
contrary, she was very fond Of receiving boys
and young folks, and showing them her jewels
and valuables. Three months before the
catastrophe her son wrote to her, begging
her once more to give up her e. centric hab-
its, which he feared would bring about some
mishap sooner or later. His anticipations
were soon realized, but the question was.
ssWho we're the murderers?'' twas evident
that theft had been their object, and, in fact,
the Jewel case was found void of its contents,
and sum of 500 francs had disappeared.
The police were for some time at loss, but
at length the TACT was ascertained that one
of the assassins had received q wound
in the struggle with the victim,
which he was imprudent enough
to have dressed at chemists shop in the
neighborhood. This gave a clue, and the
two boys for such they were-were tracked
from one lodging house to another in Paris,
where they did nothing but live in drunken
denauchery. However, they both succeeded
in crossing the Belgian frontier. Arriving at
Brussels, they squandered the jewels and
money of Nine. Cremieux until they were ar
rested. Desquiens was sent back to France,
while the other-HO<lister was claimed by
the Belgian government, to be tried before
the Assize court of Brabant. One
Of the most remarkable points in
this disgusting case is the manner in which
the injuries of the accused were turned to
evidence against them. The body of Nine
Cremieux was exhumed, and accurate casts
taken of her jaws. Both HOLSTER and Des-
QUEENS had wounds on their hands, which
the doctors pronounced to be bites, and on
applying the model of the victims mouth it
was found to correspond exactly with the
scars. There was not a large attendance at
the court this morning, owing, probably, to
the fact of it being known that most of the
proceedings would take place with closed

DesGuitre, who appears alone before the
tribunal, does not seem more than 16 or II
years old, although he is really 20. He does
not at all resemble the ruf6an the public has
generally imagined him to be. He has q
perfectly smooth and efeminate face, with
somewhat prominent nose; his hair is care
fully parted in the middle and slightly
curled. His dress is carefully
arranged. and his hands bear no trac of

sonal appearance. He belongs to an honor

If IA he was condemned to be imprisoned
for theft, and his subsequet life has been
one continuous degeneracy, ending in the
lowest depths of depravity. After reading
the acted accusation, the court declared the
huis clos for the examination of Disquiens,
who persists in denying his guilt with the
utmost cyicism, in spite of overwhelming
testimony against him.

largely Of standing advers'; devoid of tel

often that grocers refer the opening or the

but these grocers of Memphis realize that
they are living on the very threshold of
eternity and are standing almost face to face

that shows out in the first of the one-line To-

often made lightly, but here wrung out from
the depths of suffering hearts oppressed by
great fear and yet not utterly cast down
because God may indeed send the help for
which in their sore extremity they pray.
Very pitiful is it to mark the effort to be
brave in the face of the danger that menaces
them all. Careful nursing does the work.

THE MEXICAN AWARD.
Judge O'Connor'. Examination

Judge O'COnnOr's Examinations,
Judge OConnor, solicitor Of the State de-
partment has finished his examination Of
claims allowed by the Mexican commission.
and as soon as the order of the secretary is
made they will be paid. Judge O'Connor
says he thinks they will begin paying divi-
dends on Monday next. The total amount
that is in the treasury to be paid now is
1865, 973.33. This is about IA per cent. Of
the entire amount awarded by the commits
sion. Two instalments have already been
paid by the Mexican government, less its
| share of the expenses Of the commission.
The stipulation is that Mex: co is to make an
nual installments of 100000 until the en-
tire amout Of the award, $4,125,6223O, is
paid off.
The next installment is due the 1st of
January next. 1t is understood that ST. z, 900
of this installment has already been deposit
ed in New York. All claims which were re-
ferred to the solicitor or examiner of claims
in the Ssate department will be paid at once,
except eight, about which there is some dis
pute which has arisen between the parties
interested. These will be paid as soon as
the matters in dispute can be settled. There
are two claims, however, those of BENJAMIN
Well and the Libra silver mining company,
WHICH Will NOb SNdr0 III LuIS Q1SLr1DuC1O0.
Their pro rata will be withheld until the
awards can be considered and reviewed BY
the President, who is thus instructed by the
action of the last session of Congress.
These are claims about which the Mexicans
have made complaints. The President has
been directed to investigate the frauds
which the Mexican government al
leges were committed in allowing them.
The two claims amount to nearly 81, 2OO. 600.
All other claimants will be paid their divi-
dends as rapidly as they make application fer
them at the State department.. The law APP
propriated sufficient sum to pay $5,528.57
in Mexican gold dollars. $40, $50 81 in Ameri-
can gold coin, and $s9,41O.17 in United
States currency, these sums being the ag-
gregate in said currencies respectively of the
award made under the convention of July 4,
1868, in favor of the citizens of Mexico,
and, having been deducted from the amount
awarded in favor of citizens of the United
States, and payable according to treaty, these
amounts are paid to this government as an
offset to SO many of the awards o. the COM
mission against the Mexican government.
This, together with what the Mexican gov
eminent has paid, makes an aggregate of
over $650,00O, being the amount of the two
installments. Taking from this $114,949,
which was retained for the expenses of the
commission, as provided for in the act Of
Congress, there is left the amount to be dis
tributed.
