ST. LOUIS, July 26.-The officials of the
railroads doing business in the State met
Governor Crittenden here to-day in pri-
vate room. The conference was held with
closed doors, but Governor Crittenden
stated tonight that there was a free and
full discussion of the subject. The unani-
nous opinion was that prompt and vigor-
GUS measures should be taken to bring the
outlaws to justice, and that within forty
eight hours, and perhaps twenty four
hours he will, as Governor of Missouri,
issue proclamation to be scattered broad
cast over the State, offering reward of
$50 600 for the arrest of the men who
robbed the railroad train at Winston, $20,-
600 of this sum to be given for the capture
of the two James boys, supposed to have
been the leaders of the robbery, and $4,000
each for the other five men of the party.

the mail robberies committed by the noto-
rious Sam Bass gang in 1878. He was
arrested at Alaka, Indian territory. This
leaves but three of the Bass gang at large.

road robbery at Big Springs. Nebraska, and
is now in New Orleans; Harry Underwood
the most desperate of the band, who is
running a cattle rancho in the Pan Handle
of Texas, and Frank johnson, who is now
in Arkansas. The whereabouts of these
men is well known to the detectives of
this state, but in the absence of reward
for their capture and the well-known des-
perate character of the men, no efforts are
likely to be made to arrest them.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-The matter of

by the death of Justice Clifford, is much
discussed. Ex-Attorney General Devens

CHICAGO, July 26.-John Beesler, son of
Ex-Alderman Beesler, has been missing
since last Friday. His body was found in
the lake this morning, and it is not yet de
termined whether his death was caused by
murder, suicide or accident He was a
young man of excellent habits and life,
and the most plausible theory is that of
accident.
The body of L. J. Claussen, a young and
respected member of the Board of Trade,

RUMORs AND CONTRADICTIONS.

RUMoRs AND CONTRADICTIONS.
s For about an hour during the early after
noon the nImor was circulated in the
streets that DIR. Agnew had decided upon
and was performing very critical opera
ton. In short time the story was great
ly exaggerated, some saying that the bullet
had been found and taken out, leaving the
patient extremely weak and it was thought
he would not rally. It is believed that the
story was deliberately started for the pur-
pose of affecting the stock market, in as
much as It was telegraphed from the city
by persons who had every facility for OBJ
taining the facts in the case. The excite
ment oecasioned by the rumor subsided as
suddenly as it started, being promptly de
nledsby those near the president, for in
stance Col. Rockwell, who is in the presi-
dents chamber almost constantly, said
there was no truth in the report, and an
other operation has not been spoken of.

time being made in the last heat, because
the three year old outclassed the older
horses in the heat with him. Had he been

probably have beaten the four year old re-
