THE RAILROADS.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Commissioner
Midgely, of the Southwestern Rate Asso
citation, has issued a circular refusing to
participate in the reduced rates from New
York to points west of Chicago and st.

decentralization in passenger rates extend

roads in that pool propose to maintain the
arbitrary, local rates.

Grand Trunk, in order to hasten the enc

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
PoUeHKEEPsIE, July 30.-The police of
this city have been much exercised over
the appearance here within two weeks of
three strangers woman and two alleged
New York detectives. The woman regis
tered at the Northern Hotel on July 12, as
Ella A Merritt. of New York. On the
18th the proprietor received an anonymous
letter from New York signed Detective, "
describing the woman and charging that
she was a sneak thief. The proprietor al
so received a postal-card from New York
signed "a. Davis, reiterating the charge.
Chief of Police Brooks also received pos
tal-card to the same effect. During the
woman's stay her department was of the
very best and there was nothing in her ac-
tions which called for any suspicion what
ever. She was ladylike and modest and
won the respect of the guests of the house.
On the 10Th she received q telegram, and
| told the proprietor she had to go to New
York. She then paid her bill and left,
having previously visited dress maker
and ordered two dresses. Soon after he1
departure man who gave his name as
Haight, and said he was attached to Full
ler's Broadway Detective Bureau, called at
the hotel and was told the woman was
gone. He gave her an excellent reputa-
rived and each seemed desirous OF avoiding
the other, but both wanted to know all
about the woman. The alleged Fuller de-
tective returned to New York and the 9th
er called at the hotel yesterday morning
and was to call again at p. m, but did
not In the mean time the lady has writ
ten here for her dresses. 1t looks as if she
is being prosecuted and annoyed by some
body, though the whole affair is a mystery.
The Fuller detective was at Police Head
quarters describing to the chief the appear
ance of the other man when the latter
looked in at the window and then suddenly

Dow S, house. The livery stables refused to
let horses to the deputies. Brayton's body

PALESTINE, July 29.-Mayor Pickens of
Palestine says that when the governors
decide ON the day, he will issue procla-
nation inviting o general observance by
the citizens here for the recovery of Presi-
dent Garfield. Lieut.. Gov. Story passed
through here, and says if united call is
made from the people he will issue a pro
clamation to the whole state regardless of
the attitude of Gov Roberts. The mayors
of Galveston and Cameron side with the
latter and refuse to join in thanksgiving
requests of the people. There is apparent
ly reaction in favor of Gov. Roberts, as
the public begin to think that his position
is misconstrued, as he has never issued a
thanksgiving proclamation during either of
his terms as governor and is apparently
conscientiously opposed to it.

the Western Union at $3.50, 100000 and
the time of construction at 18 months.
The special advantages it claims are the
exclusive possession and right to use the
compound wire, the Gray harmony null

and the Leggo automatic and autographic
telegraph. These three features. are cover
ed by patents recently acquired by the

JOHN. W BOoKwALTER.
Cincinnati Enauirer.

Clncnnatl enquirer.
John w. Bookwalter was born in 1897,
and is therefore now in the forty third
year of his age, in the full prime of man
hood, a younger man than most of those
who have been called to the chief exeeu-
tive authority in this state. His parents
were people of responsibility and integri-
ty and strong religious convictions, and
though In very humble circumstances were
highly esteemed by the community in
which they lived. The early years of Mr..
Bookwalters life were passed in the labors
of the farm, which We're but slightly inter
rupted by educational pursuits, facilities of
that kind being scanty and of an inferior
order at that time in the region of his
home Such as they were, however, he
made the most of them, and by dintof per-
sistent individual effort and an investigat-
ing turn of mind, which led him into stud
les and pursuits quite outside of the range
of the ordinary district school, he laid the
foundation of better and wider culture
and of that candor and independence Of
views which are one of his marked
characteristics. An early develop
ed preference for mechanical en-
ployments led Mr.. Bookwalter on
reaching mans estate to engage in manu-
featuring enterprises and he and his broth
er became joint proprietors OF mill. Mr.
Bookwalter located himself permanently 81
Springfield, O., and subsequently became a
partner in The firm of james Leffel & Co.,
manufacturers of the water wheel, OF which
house he is now the chief and sole proprie
