THE star-route Investigations. Postmas-
ter General James says, were really net in
motion by the newspaper correspondents,
who had, in their Investigations, gathered
together large amount of facts which they
furniehed bin in tabulated form. This is
a handsome admission in view of the fact
that high officials are not apt to render much
credit to the newspaper press.

The lessons of Garfield's death were ex-
pounded most eloquently in the press, pull
pit and forum, in multitudinous ways, but
are likely to be soon forgotten by the poll
ticians, if judgment may be formed from
the sudden revival of the strife for Office
at Washington. During Gsr6eld's illness
and until his remains were deposited in the
tomb, there was comparative quiet, but
now the craze for Office has returned, and
nothing is now heard from Washington but
the incessant gabble of the placemen.

Seldom has more inspiring and beautiful

startwas splendid, and for few yards the thir-
ty-two horses were iu almost perfect line to-
gether. Then speed and good riding began to
tell and the squadron was broken up into
line which gradually grew longer and longer.

won by head, and there was only . neck be-
tween the second and third horses. The race
was admirably contested and excellently man.

struck, kicked and beaten the plaintiff, intiict-

At Stewart, Mimi, on the line Of the Hast

ductors, engineer and trainmen were all at din
ner, from some cause not explained the west
bound train started of Of itself with no one in
charge. Engineer, conductor and trainmen
started in pursuit at once, and as the train
backed off slowly up the grade hopes were en-
tertained that the engineer, who had the lead,
would be able to reach his engine; but he was
unable to do 60. A hand Car, manned by six
men, started off rapidly in pursuit and over
took the train four miles east of the village, no
damage being done except to those who ran
through the rain and mud in pursuit of the
backing train. Great fears were entertained
that it might continue its wild flight and collide
with the freight at Brownton, and every one
breathed easier when they knew that all was

Freshets and Damage in Iowa.

The mississippi has made sad havoc along
it's Iowa shore, both in cities and with farm
property. Dubuque has suffered more than
has been told, and great loss of property has
surely been occasioned. Lumber yards have
been almost entirely destroyed in some TO-
stances, while many have been badly damaged
Along the river from Dubuque to sabula hun
dreds of thousands of acres of usually fine
farming lands are under water, and in hay
marsh fifty hay stack tops were seen, and there
we're probably thousands the same way. They
project about two feet at this writing, but the
entire stack in each instance is entirely de-
stroyed. Corn fields are covered, some of
them showing only an occasional tip Of . stalk,
while in other fields the water is only up to the
ears. Much wood has been lost, at least lost to
the original owners. In fact those who reside
along the river banks in city or country are
losers to q greater or less extent 1t will be q
lesson to all to get further away.

Summary Way Of Settling y Murder Case.

Special from Grsenville, Miss.
Lanier, who killed D. 8. Love he re last Fri
day, was examined before Judge Valiant,
mayor Of Greenville, to-day. and acquitted.
Judge Valiant is one of our most highly re-
spected citizens, and his decision is endorced
by the entire community. The details of
the assanlt by Love on the wife of Lanier are
entirely unfit for publication. It appears At
the trial that Love was an unsuccessful suitor,
and prosecuted the lady before her marriage,
and after that event sought the revenge Of
blasting her character. In thus discharging the
prisoner, Judge Valiant said: have been 4
practcing lawyer for more than twenty years,
and have never seen or read of such q Gaze Is
this. There is no law to which the defendent
in case like this could appeal. II any one in
q position like that occupied by him, sued for
damages, he would simply have been laughed
at 1tis therefore myopinion that he did lust
what1 or any other man Of honor would. and L.
therefore, discharge the prisoner and bid him
60 hence without delay.
The decision was received with shouts Of ap-
plause.
