Laclede, Mo-, correspondence Llnnsus Bull
letln, Sept. B: ''The surveyors on the b. b
S. w. are at work south OF town locating
the line. The officials were here the latter
part OF last week and bought a strip OF land
for switch purposes Of j.. McEtse, for which
they have been negotiating, and are trying
to purchase q piece Of ground along the track
belonging to j. NJ. Welsh. The plows, scra-
pers and implements for grading have arri-
we'd and are on the ground, and 1t 10 thought
that work Will be commenced tomorrow
by every one here. The stimulus given to
all branches OF business by reason of the
many favorable events Is great"
Richmond Democrat, Sept, 8: "On Thurs
day last, Frank X. Tut, of Lexington. and
others, came over to the Ray county side Of
the river and arrested j. c. Hastings, John
Hastings and Alexander Budgely, all of
whom live in the neighborhood of Hardin,
on the charge Of robbing the Lexington om-
nibus, an account of which appeared in our
last issue. These men were brought to this
place on Thursday night last, and put in
Jail, where they still remain. The case was
brought before Esquires DeMasters and
VIM, on Saturday, for = preliminary ex-
animation. but the State not being ready,
the matter was postponed until next Mon
day, when a hearing will be given them.
Their bail was placed at $3.50 by the court,
but they have failed 30 far to procure bonds
men. Next Monday will be . day of con-
siderable interest. as people generally are
much interested 10 this question and desire
to see the guilty parties punished, but they
have no desire to zee innocent men subjected
to unnecessary %indignity, aud public senti.
ment will be governed by the evidence pro.
ducsd In this case. II these men are guilty
/ they should be punished to the full extent OF
the law. but II they are innocent and have
only been arrested on suspicion, they are
entitled to the indemnity the law %provldes.' p
The I%ntelligsncer briefly mentioned, last
week, that the gas works had been sold to
Messrs. Alfred D. Cressler Ind Robert d
pickey, of Fort Wayne, Ind. Both OF
thsse gentlemen are said to be, practical gas
men, and it Is to be hoped that they will give
us better gas than we have had Of late. We
dislike very much to be continually finding
fault, and have consequently been silent fire..
quently when we should have complained Of
the gas furnished by the old company. The
quality OF the gas has often been very in.
ferIor, but the chief cause OF complaint has
been the deficiency In the qusntity. We
have heard many persons say that when or
dark days they desired to use gas they have
found 1t either turned of entirely or with
so little pressure as to be OF no account. W.
ourselves have been annoyed on Friday eve
nings and nights by the total inadequacy Of
the light. When persons 60 to the expense
OF fitting up for gas they expect, and have
right 10 do SO, that they can get gas at al
times. Ii the works are Inadequate to dc
this they should be made adequate or sban
doned. Consumers are charged 81 per thou
sand for gas, while Independence, whicl
hauIs Its coal from this city, IS to get It a

price should exist, but II 1t Is permitted tt
