States, where it is now pending, and
from whence decision is expected to
be reached this year. In the case of
the claim against the city of Baltimore,
which offered $50, 900 for the arrest of
the assassin. Captain Doherty did not
sue to recover, the Mayor and Alder
men telling him point blank that they
would not pay him it, as the reward
was offered offered under a previous
administration. The claim has now
lapsed by limitation. .,.
"Of the 800. 600 offered by the Gov
ernment, $4,000 was paid on the basis
of prize-money in the navy. The COM
mand consisted of twenty-six enlisted
men, two citizens (detectives) and one
commissioned officer. The commission
appointed to distribute the money con-
sisted of Judge Advocate General Holt
and Gen. E. ID. Townsend, Adjutant-
General of the army, who awarded to
Captain Doherty $75, 1000, to each of
the citizen detectives "a, 900, to Sergeant
Boston Corbett and Sergeant Wandell,
-, 200 each, the commission deciding
the fact that Corbett having shot Booth
did not entitle him to more than the
non-commissioned officer of the same
rank who was also present at the capt
ure. .
"Gen. Lafayette C. Baker, chief de-
tective of the war department., was
held to be the same as an Admiral, who
detaches ship and orders it to another
squadron. In transitu, that ship capt
ures prize, and Captain Doherty be-
ing in the position as Captain OF the
ship, receives two-twentieths of the
whole amount. while the Admiral, who
in this case was General Baker, received
one-twentieth, or $3, $50. The remain
der of $75, 900 was distributed pro rata
among the men. ..-.. .....---. -
Captain Doherty was informed from
high authority that a wheel-barrow
full of claims were put in for this re-
ward, almost every detective in the
United States representing that he was
entitled to a share. The adjustment of
this mass of claims occupied the MEM
bers of the commission a little over a
year before they could determine who
were entitled to the reward"

A Boys Ambition.

A few days ago Justice of the Peace
John Weber took his little son down to
Toledo on an excursion. The lad in
terviewed the man at the wheel and
gathered much information relative to
the business of steamboating. Present.
ly his father joined him on the hurri-
cane deck and asked him how he was
enjoying himself. First-rate,'' was
the enthusiastic reply; "rm going to
be a steamboat man, papa" "All
right" responded the Judge Z. but
you'll have to study navigation, as
tronomy and divers other sciences, in
order to become a good one." The lad
said nothing at the time, but appeared
to be revolving the difficulties of the
case in his mind. Perhaps half an
hour later, he remarked, with much
gravity, Papa, guess 1 won't be 6

of the Peace; you don't have to know
anything for thai" Detroit Free Press

A Rapid Voyage.

The fastest long distance run on
record is that of the English mail
steamer Dun ban, Union Steam Com
pany. Capt. A. s. Warleigh, with tele-
grams from the seat of war at the Cape.
The Durham left Table Bay little be-
fore eight p. m, April 1. and sveraged
298 miles a day to Madeira, where a
stop of four and one-half hours was
made on the fourteenth day. Plymouth,
England, was reached at six p. m,
April 20. The entire distance, about
5000 miles, was made in eighteen days
sixteen hours, actual steaming, or an
average of 1871 knots the whole voyage.
Much better time has been made across
the Atlantic, but this is the best on rec

While he was preparing his foundation
he was also bringing around from Port
land the stone for the superstructure,
and this he worked into its proper form
at a yard he established at Millbar, as
being the most suitable locality. In
the present instance a superior kind of

This was at three o'clock on the morn
ing of the 9th.
"In reference to the different state
ments that Booth was never captured
or killed, and that he is alive to-day,
Captain Doherty says that it is the
sheerest nonsense in the world, as, in
the first place, Captain Doherty knew
j. Wilkes Booth personally, and was in
his company at the National Hotel in
Washington about two months previ-
GUS to the assassination. In the second
place, at the post niortem examination,
held on the 27th of April, Booth was
fully identified by DIR. May, his attend
ing physician, who had performed an
operation upon his neck, and by MIR.
Dawson, proprietor of the National
Hotel, where he boarded during his
residence in Washington, and also by
other wen-known citizens to the full
satisfaction of the Government.
"In the third place, after the body
of Booth was buried in q cell in the PEN
itentiary at the arsenal at Washington,
the remains were delivered over to his
relatives four years later, upon applica-
ton to President johnson, and they
now rest in the family vault near Balti-
more, Nd. thus proving that the men,
bers of his own family recognize the
fact that the body lying there is the last
mortal remains Of j. Wilkes Booth.
"a total reward of $3.50, 900 was Of
fered by the Government, the city OF
Washington and the city of Baltimore.
The reward of 800, 900 offered by the
Government was paid. but those Of
fered by the cities of Washington and
Baltimore were repudiated. Captain
Doherty entered suit in the United
States District Court for the District OF
Columbia to recover the 800, 900 offered
by the city of Washington, but the suit
was decided against his claim, the court
holding that the city of Washington had
no authority in law to offer the reward.

telegraph officials should have failed to recognize
these most improbable cipher dispatches to have
any concealed meaning but regarded them rather as
corrupt dispatches. That they could recall them so

It was to be expected that nothing would come to
light not wanted by the parties in charge, and 1t
would have been too much to expect that any mes
lican party would be found among these bundles.
The translations of the cipher dispatches
disclose negotiations. on the part OF certain
near friends of sIr. Tilden, after the election.
Of South Carolina and Florida. These persons
seemed to have apprehended that the electoral vote
OF those States, which they believed belonged to Mr..
Tildcn would be declared for Hayes and to have
icat this corrupt and fraudulent action by
submitting to the payment of moneys, which,
they were informed, the canvassng boards
demanded by way OF biaekmaii The com. com

negotiations were not authorized by the National
Democratic Committee or any person entitled to
speak for them. All the persons who had been con-
nected with the negotiations, far the committee
had secured their testimony declared that in way
they authorized by Mr.. Samuel j. Tilden. whose
particular friends they were and Mr. Tilden had
himself voluntarily appeared to corroborate that
statement on oath.
No charge from any source whatever had at any
time attached to the name of MIR. Hendricks.
