Come to me, dearest she tcnderly said,
And flew, at her bidding, with frantic delight
But, suddenly seized with feeling of dread,
She Stunned my embraces, with timd alright
But my spirit was frenZicd-my heart was on fire
And vain her sweet efforts to make me obey:
For | caspcd her more fUndly, transfiXed with
desire,
Till love, in its triumph, asserted its sway.

MIR. JOHN Il. MARSHALL:
Dear Hr-'rhis is to certify that have used the
Popplein Silicated Phosphate bought of YOU for
two years past on my entire range of truck and
the results have been highly satisfactory Ii is
decidedly the best fertilizer ! ever used and
have used several standard brands. have tested
IT beside good compost from my hen-house, and
! hnd where used the Poppcin my crops mature
better and the vines, especially tomatoes bear
much longer and the fruit is of q superior ulIali-
ty. Where used it on cabbage they were Twice
as large as where there was none nut, Another
good thing can say in favor of this fertilizer is
that can put my plants or seed in the same hill
with the phosphate without any injury to the
plant or seed. This have tried to perfection
very truly, JOSEPH STERLING.

Gentlemen-lh have used your Fertilization four
years past on the entire range of field and garden

suits.
have found it especially adapted to the growth
of p0tdf0S and sugar BeetS, and my crop last sea-
son of over twelve hundred bushels of these roots
was grown with this fertilizer, and their quality
may be inferred from the fact that, in q strong

SOUTHERN PACIFIC:
President CrOcker on Its Progress
and Prospects.

SAN FRAECIsCo, August 12.-Charles
CrOcker, President of the Southern Pacific
Railway, was interviewed by a Bulletin re-
porter yesterday. He said that the compa-
ny was laying a mile Of track every day be-
yond FL Paso. They are grading from the
other end Of the road and have the
road graded one hundred and TWEEN
tY-fve miles, and sixty miles of
track laid west from San Antonio. When
this work is finished, it will give South
western Pacific line through to within a few
miles of Gallon, and within one hundred of
New Orleans, where connection with the
Morgan road will probably be made. Mr.
Crocker thought the plan of consolidation
between the Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
and Texas Railroad, recently telegraphed,
was possible, but said 1t was improbable. If
the plan was really to be carried out the
Southern Pacific and the Central Pacific are
prepared for such contingency, and expect
to have an Eastern connection a long time
before the completion of such a road into
California.
In answer to question If he referred to
the Palmer Narrow Gauge or the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad. Mr.. Crocker said:
"That would be a pretty good outlet and
probably sufficient, but in case of such a
combination as referred to we will have an
outlet of our own. We have now
an engineering party in the field
surveying line from Corinne
through the South Pass by way of the
Haws Fork coal fields, thence down Sweet
Water to the North Fork of the Platte,
thence following down the Platte for about
one hundred miles, and crossing over to
the headwaters of the Niobrara river, and
thence to Yankton, Dakota. We
are assured that it is a
very fine country, capable of
immense agricultural developments. The
grades OF such a route would be much
lighter than those on the Union Pacific, and
fully as easy of construction. We expect
to build a line through that country for
about One-third of what the Union
Pacific cost. At Yankton, of course,
we would connect with the whole
Of the eastern system, all of which would
be willing to unite with us and do business
on the best terms. We would prefer not to
build such line. preferring to be in har-
moLy with the Union Pacific people and
do business, as was intended by the
act Of Congress forming the two
companies. But at the same time we
propose to be on the defensive, in case of
any antagOnism to protect our interests and
those of our constituents. Mr.. Huntington
informed me there is no difficulty in
raising capital to carry out this enterprise,
and we intend to carry it cut, providing the
combination spoken of is perfected, and
carry out its project as reported"

THE LAND BILL.
Reluctant TO Pass It-A Meeting
of Conservatives.

LONDON, August 12.-In the House of
Commons last night division was taken on
the question that the House disagree to the
amendment to clause 10 of the land bill in
troduced into the House of Lords, striking
out the words "granting power to the land
court to render void any lease obtained by a
landlord by threat of eviction or undue in
fuence," and the motion to disagree was
carried by a vote of 247 to 113.
The amendment of the House of Lords to
strike out the proviso that the land court
may stay proceedings for debt, when the
tenant has applied for the fixing of
Judicial rent, was rejected by vote of 225
to lib.
The House of Commons adjourned at
4:10 a. m. The land bill was sent to the
House of Lords, where it was received and
ordered for consideration to-day.
In the House of Commons last night a
number of obstruction motions were re-
sorted to because Mr.. Law proposed to add
to Mr.. Parnel's restored amendment, rela-
tive to stay of proceedings in an action
for rent, a proviso that the court
must be satisfied that the judicial
rate will be fixed within a
reasonable period, not exceeding three
months. Mr.. Laws proviso was carried by
a vote of 2l0 to "a. The Irish members
then moved amendments for a further ex-
tension of the period for fixing rents, Mr.
Parnell declaring that the government was
attempting to carry out the views of the
Lords in an underhand manner.
The land bill, as amended In the House Of
Commons, came up for consideration to-day
in the House of Lords. In clause one of the
Duke of ATgyle's amendment, excluding
from the right of free sale tenancies upon
which permanent improvements have been
made by the landlord, trifiing modification
was made of the proviso inserted in the
House of Commons, that the improvements
must substantially be maintained.
The Lords amendment, relative to the
Ulster tenant right, which was rejected in
the House of Commons, was reinstated by
vote of 179 to 40. The latest intelligence
of the House of Lords, at 10 O'Clock to-
night, indicates that the amendments of the
House of Commons are not being generally
accepted.
Lord Carnarvon, Lord Lytton, the Duke
of Richmond, Viscount Cronbrook. Lord
Cairnes, and many other Conservatives,
were present to day at a meeting at Lord
Salisbury's residence,
1t is understood that the meeting of the
Conservative Peers at the house of Lord
Salisbury to-day favored policy of making
concession to the House of Commons in re-
gard to certain amendments to the land bill,
but decided to resist the restoration of the
amendment to clause 10, relating to the po-
sition of tenants whose leases have expired.
DURHAM, August 12.-It has been resolved
that the official language in the Transvaal
shall be the Dutch. and that no other Ian
guage be allowed in the law courts. This
places British residents and natives at
further disadvantage.

THE RAILROAD WAR,
Interview with an Erie Vice Presi-
dent.

New YORK, August 12-An interview
with George R. Blanchard, First Vice
President Of the Erie Railroad, on the rail-
road war, is published here to-day, in
which that gentleman says that neither
the Erie Company nor any Of its officers
has any personal feeling on
the subject. The interests concerned are
too great to justify individual animosities,
and the whole question should be met In
the broadest spirit Of cOnciliation, because
it involves in part the continuance of fnan-
cial prosperity, commercial values, foreign
as well as domestic rivalries, and the import
ant question of public discrimination. ''We
are glad Mr.. Vanderbilt has stated
his views, because we understood he recent
ly said that the principal grievance of his
company was the presence and action of the
Pennsylvania Railroad in New England, and
that he had recently demanded that the
New York and New Haven road should
evict the Pennsylvania Company from New
England. To various others, we under
stand, he has expressed his inten-
ton to stop the construction
of parallel lines" Mr.. Blanchard states
the propositions he made at the meeting on
Wednesday in behalf of the Erie Company,
which, he says, were buta repetition of the
propositions previously made, and were de-
clined by the New York Central Company.
He then says that while the New York
Central was completing its four
tracks and terminal improvements, and large
ly increasing its equipment, and while the
pennsylvania Railroad was spending large
sums to achieve its present perfection, the
Erie Company, from causes publicly known,
and its subsequent bankruptcy, lost ground
In its relative business. In 1873 the Erie
Company brought more through grain and
general freight to New York than the New
York Central, but since that time the
New York Central, by its improvements, If
from no other causes, has gradually re-
versed the former figures. In the meantime
the Erie Company has double-tracked and
narrow-gauged it's line, and constructed
elevators, both at New, York and Buffalo. 1t
has Increased its steam feet on the lakes
until 1t equals the fleets of both
the New York Central and
the Pennsylvania Roads In carrying
capacity. It has increased all its terminal
facilities. Upwards Of 1900 cars have
been added to its equipment, all of which
now run through without transfer, instead
OF breaking bulk as formerly. The New
York, Pennsylvania aud Ohio Road has been
narrow gagged, and we have secured new
and all-raiI New England outlets. All
these causes have legiTimately combined to
increase the percentage of the toJal business
of the Erie Company. Similar causes COM
bined fairly to increase the percentage of
the New York Central after
1873. If, therefore, the Erie
increase cannot be accounted
for by these improvements, how can the
New York Central's gain after 1878 be hon
estly accounted for by it's improved facili-
ties? If, as President Vanderbilt says, the
Erie has gained only by cut rates, the con-
clusion is irresistible that the New York
Central Company has done nothing but cut
rates against the Erie since 1874.

SPOTTED TAIL.
How the Old Chief Lost His Life--A
COld-BlOOded Murder.

The official account of the murder of
Spotted Tail has been received by General
Cook, agent of the Spotted Tail Indians,
from acting agent Lelar. 1t runs about as
follows: "About noon of the 5th inst. Spot
ted Tail reported at the agents Office to re-
ceive instructions regarding his contem-
plated visit to Washington, he having
been selected as one of the representatives of
the six nations at the coming conference
at the national capital. He was urged to
start at once, and report to the agent at the
agency no later than the 9Th instant. AS
the delegation from the Pine Ridge Agency
was expected to reach Rosebud Agency on
the evening OF the 5th, Spotted Tail con-
cluded to wait till next morning, and go
with the Red Cloud delegation to the Yank-
ton Agency. This arrangement having
been decided upon, Spotted Tail decided
to have talk with his people that after
noon and receive an expression

would call at the office in the evening to re-
ceive any further instructions which might

confer with his people. An interview was
held with the Indians. They had big talk
and feast, and the council broke up. Spot
ted Tail mounted his horse and
started homeward. The Indians were
scattering in every direction, with
the noted chief somewhat in advance
of the others, he being first out of
the lodge. After leaving the council lodge,
Crow Dog was seen approaching Spotted
Tail. He had his wife with him. He got
out of the wagon and was STOPPING down
when Spotted Tail rode up to him. He
suddenly raised up and shot Spotted Tail
through the left breast. The chief fell
from his horse, but rose to his feet
and made three or four steps toward
Crow Dog, endeavoring to draw his pistol.
He then reeled sand fell backward. Crow
Dog jumped in the wagon and drove of at
full speed towards his camp, some nine
miles distant. The acting agent at once is

mans law. In compliance with these or
ders, the Indian police accomplished the
arrest of Crow Dog and he was sent to Fort
Niobrara to await his trial for murder."'
