INDEPENDNENcE, Mo-, October G..
Frank James, the bandit, who sur
rendered to the city authorities, ar
rived this evening in charge of the
Governors private secretary and
Major John Edwards, of Sedalia.
In an interview he declared he lived
quietly with his wife upon a rented
farm in Tennessee, near Nashville.
This he asserts, he can prove by
staunch business men of Nashville.
AS to hlswhereabouts since April,
1881, he is silent. He says, how
ever, that lie read the news of the
shooting OF Jesse James in a New
York paper on the morning of its
publication, indicating that he was
in that vicinity, and he admits that
he had been east of the Alleghanies,
and in Kentucky during the past
year. At stations all the way from
Jefferson City the greatest interest
was manifested, and the depot plat
forms were crowded with expectant
people. Frank James bears the
marks of many battles. Seventeen
wounds have left scars, and he has
been shot through the body twice
"with mimic balls. No examination
was had te day. The prisoner was
locked up in Jail for the night, and
an examination will probably take
place tomorrow.

seizes upon young men and old, and espe:-

that diseased liver or disordered kidneys

neglecting the evil, and not relixing their

trifed with. Call in Hunts Remedy al

for an Ellis meeting. He had loan

asked them to return it, and they
refused to do so. He then attempt

him. They fled but are pursued by

shortening the::Ocean Voyage.
DR.. Norvin Green has recently3re-
signed the presidency Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company to take
charge of a new association entitled
"rhe Great American and Euro
pean Short Line Railway Company"
The company proposes to shorten
the sea voyage to Europe by build
ing railways as far as possible and
then establish new ports, between
which a line of swift steamers shall
ply. According to the plan Of the
new company, a railroad will be
built from Oxford N. S, to New
Glasgow, N. s., distance of seven
ty miles. The Halifax and Cape
Brenton railway extends from this
point to the Strait of Conso. A
railway will have to be constructed
the whole length of Cape Brenton
island. From Cape North to Cape
Ranv trains will be ferried and from
this point to the east cost of New
foundland, a distance of 300 miles,
a new railway will have to be con
structed. From this point passen
gers will have to be conveyed by
steamer to the west coast of Ireland
where rail route will again be tax
en- to st. Georges channel, thence to
Liverpool by ferry. The new plan
will reduce the ocean route from g.
600 miles to about 1000 miles. 1t
is expected to put on the ocean route
steamers that will cover 500 miles
per pay, so that but little over three
days need be spent on the briny
deep. 1t is stated that the railway
from Nova Scotia to the extreme
eastern point of Newfoundland will
be completed in 1886, and immed-
lately thereafter a fast steamship
line will be established between New
foundland and ireland.

man who was recently sentenced to
penal servitude. The weapons found
were four knives nine inches long,
with blades ree-quarters of an

discolorations on them which on
