A Very Pretty Railroad Quarrel.
CHICAGO, November 24.-At ct meeting
Of the general passenger agents, called by
the Hannibal and 81, Joseph Railroad to
investigate the charges against the Chica.
60 and Alton Railroad, representatives Of
oil the southwestern roads were present.
None Of the witnesses which the Chicago
and Alton road requested the Hannibal
and st. Joseph road to produce were pres.
ent. In the afternoon Mr.. Morse, general
passenger agent OF the latter road, with.
drew the charges, q step against which the
Chicago and Alton vigorously protested,
Mr.. Charlton intimating the belief that
there had been conspiracy TO manutac.
ture evidence against the Chicago and Al.
ton road by some one in the interest OF the
Hannibal and st. Joseph road. He also
offered to prove the conspiracy out OF the
mouths OF the witnesses Of the Hannibal
and st. Joseph Railroad Company. He
dlsclaimed, however, ,anyimputation upon
Mr.. Morse, who was not In his present
capacity when the charges were worked
up. BY vote of the meeting the charges
were then withdrawn. Mr.. Charlton then
entered charges that the Hannibal and st,
Joseph had sold second class unlimited
tickets to New Yoak in violation Of the
agreement. The meeting sustained the
charge and found The Hannibal and St,
Joseph Railroad Company guilty aud in.
hicted the prescribed penalties. This
meeting has been looked forward to with
considerable interest in all railroad cir.
cles, and the result was q surprise all
round.

ST. LOUIS, November 24.--The failure o.

Here for many years was the Generals

LEADVILLE.
RuaIness ProeeedinEu OF a Mob.

nuNIueho FfOGe6ulmBu Oh q MOD
LRADvILLE, COL, November 22.--At one
o'clock Thursday msrninG forty-fve
masked citizens forced Sheriff Watson to
surrender TO them q prisoner named
Charles Stewart, notorious iootpad, who
had threatened TO kill the man who had
him incarcerated as soon as he should get
out. Stewart was twenty years old, and
begged piteously for his lie and for time
to write to his mother in Come utville,
PENN, but was only allowed time TO say a
brief prayer, and was then launched into
eternity.
The mob then took Ed. Frodsham, and,
although he struggled ferociously, hung
him in workmanlike manner, that indicat-
ed familiarity with the hangman's trade.
Frodsham has been jumping lots, driving
off occupants by force, and conducting
himself in a generally Objectionable man
ner. The following note was pinned to
his back:
"Note-To all thieves, bunko.steerers,
footpads and chronic bondsmen for the
same, and sympathizers Of the above class
OF criminals, this is our commencement
and this shall be our end. We mean busi-
ness. Let this be your last warning.
Particularly Cooney Adams, Conner Col.
Inns, Hogan, Ed. Burns, Ed. Champ, P. 4.
Kelly, and great many others who are
well known to this organization. We are
700 strong"
S. A. Keller, who has been accused Of
taking bribes while City Marshal, and
Jim Bush, have been warned to leave, or
share the came fate.
The thugs and bad characters have also
banded together, and claim that, having
75G names enrolled. they will Immediately
begin avenging their comrades death, and
will punish every one OF the Vigilants who
executed them. They have already threat
ened to burn the town, and have sent no.
tees 10 some people suspected to have
been connected in the hanging to leave.
The Chronicle and Herald forces have also
been ordered to quit, those papers having
advocated extreme measures to check the
outlawry and crime, which have been de-
cidedly on the increase Of late.

The Case OF Rev. Marcus ormond, for
t. uerly OF west Alexander.

|
The newspapers are much occupied witt
the case OF Rev. Marcus ormond, Of Penn
sylyania, man Of fine classical and theo
logical education, and Of uncommon abili'
ties, and who was Chaplain OF the 14Oth
Reg. Penn. Vols. during the war. In
March, 1878, he was seized with violent
pains In the head, became unconscious,
and lost his power Of speech. His sick.
ness lasted two or three months. On re.
Covery his mind was almost blank. He
recognized nobody, and could neither
read nor write. He was taught his letters
Ikea little child. He wanted 10 learn, but
could not. He came 10 recognize familiar
faces, but could not recall names. He could
count aud carry through business trans
action, but nothing more; and such was
his condition at last accounts.
A case similar to this occurs to US. Short
ly after Mr.. Benn Pitman left England, and
had settled in Philadelphia, his wife, the
late Mrs. Jane Pitman, was attacked by a
fever Of severe type, which affected the
brain. On her recovery the mind was as
blank as Mr.. Ormond's. She could remem.
Der nothing-nolhing OF her past life, and
very little, II anything, Of the knowledge
she had acquired. This continued for
some time. She had, however, received a
very good musical education, and was an
accomplished amateur pianist.
One day she seated herself mechani.
cally at the piano, and mechanically ran
her fingers over the keys; as she did 80,
the fingers caught up phrase OF some
composition which she had often played;
little by little it came back to her, until
the whole composition was recalled to her
mind, and almost simultaneously the veil
that shrouded her intellect was lifted, the
memory restored, thought not fully, and
the mind thereafter acted with complete
consciousness. The mechanical training
remained in the finger tips after the power
OF memory had apparently been destroy
ed, and was the immediate means Of re-
storing it. Mr.. 0rmond's ability to count
when all other mental functions seem par
alyzed, suggests possibility OF restora-
ton II the process could be connected
with other associated ideas.

fire was found to be raging on the hillside

ing the farm Of E. Harker's heirs, both
tracks OF land adjoining the town. The
grass, leaves, underbrush and fence, all Of
which were very dry, made a rapid fire

try. The wind at the time was blowing
strong from the southeast. The devour-
ing element was finally subdued by beat
ing and stamping the grass and leaves and
tearing away the fences. The damage 10
the property is very light. The FIRE origi-
mated from the burning OF an old chestnut
tree, which some person had set on fire
the day previous for the purpose OF smok-
ing out rabbit. Owing to the recent
fires In another portion OF the county there
were various conjeCtures as to how the
fire occurred.
