THE MURDER OF MADAME sKoBELHoEF.
Constantinople, July 2l.-The aid de camp

Madame Skobelhof was wounded, but sue
ceeded in reaching Phillipolis, where he de-
nounced sub-lieutenant, M. Owzstes, who he
knew well as the assassin of Madame Skobel-

Madame Skobelhoff's. Owzates fed TO the
mountains, but was captured by the cavalry
he has since committed suicide. His Monte
negro accomplices, bis brother, and several Of
his friends were also arrested. The motive
for the crime 1t is supposed was robbery, as
Madame Skobelhoffs money and ornaments

Imuroyement IN the Iron Trade.

New York, July 2l.-There is a marked
Improvement in the iron trade and the large
dealers say that the boom is not one Of spec
ulation, but heresult of healthy demand.
The market for the material to-day is firmer,
and the figures are being advanced for the
best brands. A large dealer said to-day that
he had refused an offer OF S25 ton for q
thousand tons of the we'll known brand, No.
IN, and that he had no difficulty now to sell
iron at from three to four dollars ton moro
than it was sold for at the lowest point of de-
preston. THERE'S much activity reported in all
OF the iron centers, and the western market is
said to be much better than II has been for
long time. Spectators, 1t is said, have started
the advance, although mill.owners and con-
sumers are free buyers. In Pittsburg, in one
week recently, twenty thousand tons we're
sold, the largest sale, with one exception, ever
recorded in tho same period. The curtail-
ment of the usual output abroad, and the
fact that production in the furnaces OF cur
own country has been cut down to low
point, will soon relieve the market OF a heavy
accumulation of foreign iron. The IRON
masters, it is said, are taking pains TO pre-
vent ssnseless end reckless boom, and thus
TO a avoid sudden decline.

Rival Telegraph Lines.

Hannibal, Mo-, July 21.-The American
Union telegraph company has completed its
line into this city, and w. S. Cheslcy, the To-
cal manager, opened the office to-day. There
are two wires now, one through to st. Louis
and another to Chicago, with the probability
that several railroad wires will soon be added.
The new company started its business at a
considerable discount below the rates
charged by the Western Union company,
which has heretofore enjoyed monopoly OF
the business. The Western Union company
promptly cut rates to meet those OF the
American Union, through the Atlantic q
Pacific telegraph company, which is INTRO
duced at all competing points. The manager
of the new office has not yet received his full
tariff of rates, but when he does there will be
some lively cutting between the two rival
companies.

Special to the Herald
Galveston, July 2l.-Lieut.. Gov. Sayres
addressed large and enthusiastic audience
in front of the fremont house tonight. He
spoke an hour and half. His speech was a
scathing review of Governor Roberts admin
istration in its inconsistencies, graphically
delineated, and its fallseies and pretensions
glaringly exposed. Leutenant-G Governor
Slyres pr we'd conclusively from the mes
sages the governor that he. was opposed to
public free schools, immigration and in favor
OF disposing of the public domain to capital
lists. His speech was powerful and we'll
conceived effort, producing a profound i'm
preston. When he eloquenty announced
himself as in favor of public free schools, i'm
migration, railroads, frontier defense and the
preservation ofthe public domain for actual
settlers, and tor that progression that would
equally bring out the grand possible
ties of the state, The audience
eheered enthusiastically. When he appeae !
for a more rigid enforcement Of the laws and
fewer crime trials, the crowd shouted APP
proval.
Senator Street replied in defense of Gov
ernor Roberts administration, which Gov
ernor Savers answered in fifteen minutes
speech, completely demolishing the defense
made by Street.
Hon. George Finley is now speaking, en-
dorsing Ssyers, and pouring hot-shot into
Roberts.
The lieutenant governor has made fine
impression and has completely captured the
young democracy 1t is more than probable
that the Galveston delegation will go in
structed for bin. He leaves for his home
at FIVE in the morning.

Proposed New Railroad from Quincy
TO Chicago.

Hannibal, Mo-, July 2l.-The Clipper
Herald contains lengthy communication
which itpublshes as an open letter addressed
to jay Gould, Russell Sage, Sidney Dillon
and their associates, who propose to build the
extension of the Hannibal & st. Joseph rail-
road from Quincy to Chicago, to be known
as the Chicago, Hannibal & St. Joseph rail-
road. The letter is signed by Mayor w A
Munger, Aldermen Jacob Harris, John Or
mand, George Brown, .sr, John Coulon, ST.,
B Knoepfel, j b Clement, q A Treat, Lou
McCarty, William Haggart, T X Hayward
and the following prominent cit
izens:'. A w Lamb, ] P Richards,

George A Halves, G G Hixon & Co., J G
Cruikshank, jr., Herman & Naples, d
Dubach & Co., Badger State Lumber Co.,
Dulaney & McVeigh, Northwestern Lumber
Co., LOOMS & Snively. The letter states that
70 start the road. from Quincy will be clear
violation ofthe company's charter, and quotes:
1.-THE Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad
company shall not itself, nor by arrange
ment or contract with any other company
make, construct or use or cause to be made,
constructed or used, any branch, cutoff OF
connection with the said hannibal & ST. Jo-
seph railroad within forty miles Of its eastern
terminus whereby trade or travel may be d.
verified from the located route and track of
| sail railroad from its eastern termipus Hanni-
bal"
1t is proposed to connect the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas railroad with the Hanni-
bal and 81. Joseph, at Monroe City. The
letter demonstrates that such action on the
part of the former road would be in direct
violation of Its compact with the Hannibal
bridge company, whereby it agreed to throw
all its business for all time over the Hannibal
bridge The letter then says:
"This community would be false to itself
if it allowed these contract and charter obli-
cations to be violated without using all law
full means to prevent it,"
The communication then proceeds 10 prove
that the route from Monroe City to Chicago
via Hannibal, is eight miles shorter than by
way of Quincy; that the route from Hanni-
bal to Chicago is much more practicable for
reasons mentioned than by that from Quincy
, to Chicago, that the bridge expenses at Han
nibal would be less by many thousands OF
dollars annually than at Quincy. These facts
are put forward in clear and business like
manner and promises of aid in addition tn

{ which this county has already assisted the

Shooting at PaIo Pinto.

Special 10 the Herald
Palo Pinto, July 2l.-Our town was
thrown into fever of excitement yesterday
evening about o'clock, by four pistol shots
which came in rapid succession from the
Cattle exchange. Further investigation went
to show that row had occurred between two
young men, Charles Hazlewood and Mr..
Wade. The latter entered the saloon under
the influence Of liquor, and, it seems, insulted
Lakewood, who resented it. They cinched,
and during the struggle Lakewood drew q
pistol and shot at Wade four times, two Of
the balls taking effect, one in the abdomen
and the other in the side. Wade is still liv'
ing but the physicians says his wounds are
mortal. Young Lakewood made his escape
from the officers about an hour after the oc'
currence.
