Devices OF a Bad Man to Pass Hfmseif
or for an Ignorant Tramp.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, November 27.-Last
night suspicious looking person was ar
rested in scalper's office while trying to
sell a railroad ticket. En- route to the po-
lice station he confessed that he was wanted
in Andrian, Mich, for the theft OF $1,000
in Wabash Railway tickets. Upon search
ing him a good suit OF clothing was found
underneath the tramp apparel, and
il tranSpired that he had rubbed dirt
upon his face, stained his lips
With liquorice, and poured whisky upon
his clothes to still further conceal his iden-
tity by not only looking 1.-The but also SEEM
ing like like tramp. He neither drank
nor used tobacco in any form. over $3.50
worth OF tickets were found concealed
abont his person. The prisoner registered
as James K. Edwards, but while in the
employ of the company at Adrian he was
known as Edward w. Rowell. Among his
effects was a letter signed NJ. Knight, First
Assistant General Freight Agent OF the
Missouri Pacific, st. Louis, Mo-, indorSing
him as a frst-class telegrapher and are
liable man. The letter Edwards admits
TO be forgery. This forenoon he waived
all technicalities and asked to be returned
TO Michigan at once. He also confessed the
theft, but claimed that he had powerful
friends in that State who would see that he
was not punished. He also offered to turn
up the larger portion OF the missing tickets
and TO squeal on his cOnfederates provided
he was taken away at once, and the police
believe from his actions that he is wanted
for some grsver offences elsewhere. The
officers started for Adrian with him this

WASHINGTON, November 2T.-"Are you in
favor of reducing the rate of postage on
letters from three TO two cents?' was asked
of Second Assistant Postmaster General
Elmer to-day.
Most emphatically yes was the reply.
~ believe the time has come when it can be
done without jar to the system or danger
that it will seriously cripple the postal rev.
nueS. Some people say that letter postage
is cheap enough now, and that the surplus
revenues if any, should be devoted to Civ
ing them increased facilities. That is a
mistaken notion; so far as postal facilities
are concerned, there is hardly a reasonable
ground for complaint, I think. Letter
poStage IS certainly too high
when il r. greater than necessary: L
should not expect any serious diminutiOn
Of the revenues as a result OF decrease OF
The letter rate 10 cents. The volume OF
correspondence would undoubtedly be
Swelled BY such reduction, and besides
thousands of business men who now use
printed circulars very extensively under
the l cent rate rather than pay cents,
would be willing TO pay cents for the
privilege of sending under seal circular
letters partaking somewhat OF the nature
Of individual correspondence. 4 reduction
OF one-third in the stamp tax for carrying
letters would be a benefit to all the people
and would not he seriously felt by the
National Treasury. 1t would be popular
act as well as one of wise policy"
Il do think, however" continued Mr
Elmer, that the rate of postage on one
class of mail matter should be increased. l

New Enterprise in Sonora.

Under the supervision of Mir. Carter
 Tevis, junior member of the firm of w.
 B. Hooper & Co.,, wholesale liquor, and general commission merchants, a branch house was opened in Guaymas, Sonora, about fifteen months since. Mir Tevis was lately here on visit connected with his business, which IS reported 10 be in
 hourishing condition. The firm are or gani1ing and will soon have in operation, an enterprise entirely new to that section of the country, and which undoubtedly will divert that class of trade from Tue son. The enterprise in question IS a lumber yard where a general assortment of all clasacs of lumber will be kept both for mining and house building pur- poses, also a factory for the manufacture of doors, window sashes, ornamental sawed work, etc. The company are sa'- isfcd that in Guaymas, they can fl needs be, manufacture and sell al San Fran cisco prices. An engine of fifty horse power together with other necessary machinery were shipped by last steamer from San Francesca, and more is waiting transportation. Ice which now is eX- ceedlngly rare and scarce, and when procurable at all is wolih twenty cents per pound, is also to be manufactured by the same enterprising firm. Mining machinery and all other merchantable articles arc bought and sold on com mission. Orders for small articles are executed as faithfully as though much was involved An additional branch house is also in operation in Hermosilo.

Rat GuanO DeDOSits.

Mir. Frower, of New York City, has given a reporter some information about immense cave deposits of bat guanO m Uvalde county, Texas, which have just become accessible by recent railroad sccessiOns. There are several caves in- habited by bats of different species. The entrance of tine smaller of two large caves is about fifty feet in height and twenty five feet wide, at one side of a low hill. Tue bats begin coming out of this en- trance every day abont 4;3O p. m-, and after that pour forth like thick, black cloud until after ten o'clock at night They go to vast marshes, where they ob- tain food, and return to the caves Tn the m Irning. The analysis made shows that the deposits contain over II per cent Of ammonia, beside cone phOsphstes of considerable quantities. This analysis compares very favorably with any Peru vian guanO now Tn the market. Until recently man named Ney owned the largest cave, and wanted Sl20,0O0 for the property. He said that the quantity in euano in that one cave was so enormous that he would lease it tc a company to work without limiting the quantity of guano to be removed annually, for S3,0O0 a year. He was satisfied that the de- posits could not be worked out ID hundred years. The work nf getting out guauO has only just begun. The first shipment was made from the CibOlo cave, tew days ago. On an analysis made, this DLt guano will be rth from SJOto SS0 per to1. The Uvalde caves have ~ot vet been touched. Large gangs of men will be at work in them soon-
