Innocents Abroad.


The parties who were mentioned in
the NEWS Thursday as having been beat
out of $40 on the government bond
racket, were from the east, and were on
their way TO Greenwood county, where
they have relatives. There were two of
them, cousins, but our informant, who
talked with them. had forgotten their
names. At the Union depot at st.
LOUIS they met party who, upon as
certaining where the guileless pair were
bound for, told them his name was
Adams, and that he had large dry
goods store in Emporia, for which he
had been purchasing stock of goods.
He said he lacked just $40 of sufficient
currency to pay his bills, but
had some bonds which he
would put up as colleteral on loan OF
that amount. The monied member OF
the party hestitated, but his more ver
dant and accommodating companion
over-persuaded him, and the heroes Of
our story never suspicioned what colos
sal asses they had made of themselves
until they alighted at Emporia, and as
certained, upon inquiry, that MIR
Adams, like Sairey Camps friend, Mrs
Harris, was myth, having neither 10
cal habitation, name nor dry goods
store in this city, and that the bond
which they were to get currency fol-
here, was not worth the paper it wa
printed on.
Sadder, wiser and poorer by virtue o
their experience the chastened pair tool
the train for Greenwood county las
evening, where it is to be hoped tina
they will be taken care o
by their friends. who should exercise al
diligence in seeing that their verdan
visitors are not eaten up by the herbivo
rous animals by which that section q
the state is infested.

There is widespread complaint among
the people concerning the coal oil which
is sold in this market. Much of it is
said to be so poor that it cannot be used
at all. Lamps in which it is used will
burn nicely for a little time, then the

DANFoRD AND MS CREDITORS.

DANFoRD AND HIS CREDITORS.
Capt. j. G. Waters, of this city, and
Hon. ]. V. Admire, of Usage City, ar
rived in Topeka yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Admire was in Caldwell on Wednes-
day and saw Danford for few moments
in the presence of the depositors' com
mittee, though he had but short time
to talk to him. Danford said it was
possible they might hang him, but said
all he wanted was chance to explain
and show how matters stood, as he was
confident he could make everything ali
right. He told Mr.. Admire 10 tell the
people at Usage City that he would pay
every dollar the bank owed there.
woMASLY SYMPATHY.
Capt. Waters further relates story
told him to the effect that there is in
Caldwell n milliner named Miss Tillie
Myhoover, who had $135 in the Mer-
chants and Drover's bank at the time il
closed, and very naturally she felt bitter
toward Danford, not hesitating, either,
to express herself in language both en-
| phatic and expressive. Seeing, how
ever, how Danford was being treated,
everybody being against him, her wo-
manly sympathies were aroused, and she
determined to do him favor if such a
thing was possible. Approaching where
he was, closely guarded, she began to up
braid him loudly for Stealing her mon
| ey;" then dropping her handkerchief
close by him, as if il were done accident
| ally, she whispered as she stopped TO
pick it up, loud enough for no one but
himself to hear, "Do you want any word
sent to your wifeg" yves; for Gods
sake tell her to come here if possible"
Poor as the woman was she paid her
way from Caldwell to Usage City, where
Mrs. Danford lives, and Communicated
with the wife and to-day, at noon, Mrs.
Danford arrived here, having come to
join her husband with all possible speed
THE Usage CITY BANK
The Usage City Free Press says the
bank at that point is simply closed and
that the people arc awaiting Danford's
| return, should he ever return, from VEL
lington, to ascertain exactly how its af.
fairs stand. The previous dispatches of
the Capital, received from a reliable
source, have stated that this bank is pay.
ing depositors in good paper, and that
no loss to depositOrs is apprehended.
PLUCKY DENMAN.
Mr. Admire says that the mob took
two of the clerks of the bank, Tanner
and Denman, out on the prairie and put
matters around their necks for the pur.
pose frightening them it had the effect
so far as Tanner was concerned, but Den.
man wasn't to be scared by any such
foolishness. Tanner "squealed," but
Denman told the mob that he dIdn'i
know anything, and if he did he
wouldn't tell it; they could hang him il
they wanted to and be id" After
that the mob took the two men back to
town, fully convinced that there wasn't
much 10 be made out of Denman.

The Brandon Republican wants
to know something of the Meridian
and Red River Railroad, which il
learns is now being built from
Brookhavcn to the East. If any
such road is being built We have

Hoskins are building Il road from

their mills. We learn they have a
contract with the C.. ST. l. " N. o.
r. II. to build ten miles of road east
within twelve months; II road to
furnish the iron and all rolling
stock, and is to be paid by Hamil-
ton d Hoskins q given rate OF
interest for such materials, Foul
miles of the new road are built and
in running order. Where it will go
We do rot know. One day we
hear it is the intention of the build
ers to make it part of Il line to Me.

Frye's Bloody Speech.

Senator Frye, from Maine, made
q violent sectional speech in the Sen
ate q few days ago, in which he shook
the bloody shirt at the solid South
in a furious manner. There is no
explanation of it except that he is
making a bold attempt to secare
leadership in the Senate. AS Frye
Succeeded EL-aAn 40 Senate. am
Blaine is nowconsidered the power
behind the throne" in the executive
office, the speech was considered
as the utturance of the administers
ton. Democratic Senators were
loud-in condcmning it.and said if
Garfield allowed his mouth piece to
SANDER the South, they would not
help him in his fight with Conkling.
The President at oncerepudiated

oda rellos'a Excursion.

A reporter ofTnE LEDGER attend
ed the Odd Fellows excursion last
Tuesday. The ears were filed to
sufrocation and many persons were
compelled TO stand.
Al Jackson the encampment of
| the |, o. O. +. was drawn up in file
ready to receive the visiting en-
campments, which they did in fine
style. First, they were invited to
the Edwards House to be ''punched
up" and to don their regalia; then,
forming a line, all encampments
marched through several streets,
headed by the Jackson band, reach
ing the hall of the /. O. o. f., about
II M, where an address of welcome
was delivered by Mr.. Gibbs. After
having their dropping spirits reviv-
ed by another punch, they marched
down State street to the Presbyte-
rian church, at which place the ora
tor of the day, Mr.. Hirch, from
Vicksburg, delivered an eloquent
address. The musical exercises by
the Glee Club and several ladies
was highly enjoyed by all. Punches
omitted here. Before the exercises
were concluded the rain began Il
pour, and compelled the members tt
return in carriages to the hall
where q hOunteous repast had beel
served which was fit for 4 king. A.
night Il ball was given but, owing t.
the inclemency of the weather, was
pooriy attended, especially BY the
fair sex. Everyone seemed pleased
with the excursion and enjoyed
themselves in jackson by wander
ing through public buildings. The
excursion was a success, and Tho
managers deserve the thanks of al
passengers for their good manage
ment.

Republican Troubles,

The impression prevails that TINS
week enough Republican Senators
will vote to go on with the evecu
tive business to break the dead
lock. The judiciary Committee has
already been called by Senator Ed
munds to consider nominations be-
fore it. OF these the most impor-
tant are those of Stanley Matthews
for the Supreme Court, and Wm. +.
Chandler, for Solicitor General OF
the United States. Both of them
will be vigorously opposed and
probably defeated, No Democrat
will vote to confirm Chandler. Sena
tor Conkling has not called the
Committee on Commerce, of which
he is Chairman, and so there will
be no early action in the the case OF
Robertson.
Troubles inside the Republican
party are not confined to unpopular
nominations, however; removals
threaten to do full rs much damage
Some of the changes in the post of
flee department, have been made
and were made in such a way Is t.
reflect not only on some of the dis
placed officers but to leave an i'm
preston that the department ha
been ineiliciently, if not corraptly
managed Tor many years. The evi
management now alleged musthav
existedAIndcr Jewell, Key, and May
nard-that is, il iC~Saallu eyer ha
existed. On this last point ever,
influential Republican takes issn
with the administration, and 81,
the changes made now are only t.
give the administration standing IL
the matter of reform. There is cyl
IDENTIFY a very bitter fight ahead il
this connection.
