That'TOwn.

ST. LOUIS, November 29-The parties in
volv ed in the shooting affray briefly refer
red to last night, were Frank |. lglehart,
formerly cashier of the banking house OF
Bathalow, Lewis l. Co., very highly con-
nected, and Mr.. Rush H. Tevis, well

not dangerously, IN the arm, The latter
fell and the l&oman Helped him up, while
the assailants ran 10 livery stable a block
away and procuring their rig which had
been left there, drove rapidly of. lglehart
supported by the lady walked few blocks
when a passing carriage was hailed aud
they we're driven to the formers residence.
The lady then drove away in the car
riage. Ii is supposed the man with
Teyis was detective, that the lady was
Teyis' wife, and that it was his intention 10
kill Iglehart. All the parties are very ret
icent, but the affair has caused much eX.
element, as the persons involved are all
well known and highly connected. Mrs.
Tevis, who was a Mrs. Reese, is niece OF
General Sherman, also niece OF the late
Judge Samuel Reber. Her father is colonel
in the United States army. Mr. and Mrs.
TeyiS had meeting this morning. They
separated, he taking the only child, little
girl three yesrs of age. He will institute

shattered and the ball ranged upward, but
the wound is not serious.

Ia,La<l Hama

PETERSBURG, Va, November 9-Tweciti-
zens of Prince George county went out
hunting for opossnms one night last week
IN the vicinity Of Brandon church. Soon
after entering a reed swamp their dogs
came to a stand, baying at what seemed to
them la,ge bear in a thick cluster Of
reeds. The huntsmen went back to their
homes for their guns, and returning to the
spot, shot and killed the animal. On eX-
animation it proved to be large buck, with
ten prongs to his antlers. The huntsmen
were greatly surprised to find that the
horns of the buck were firmly interlocked
with those of another large buck, which
was lying dead upon the ground. The
evidences for many yards around indicated
that there had been a fierce struggle be-
tween the two animals, and it Furthermore
appeared that the dead one had been killed
by the penetration entirely through the
skull of the short, straight horn of the sur
viying deer. Their antlers had become so
firmly interlocked that they could not be
separated, and it was apparent that for
some days the live buck had dragged the
body Of the dead one about with him in
the vain endeavors to release himself. The
live buck was much reduced for want OF
food, and the body of the dead one was con-
Siderably decompoSed.

CARRYING THE WAR INTO AFRICA.

ALBANY, November 2S.-In the matter OF
the application of VIM. H Cameron stock
holder, and Jay Gould, director, and claim
ing to be stockholder of the Mutual Union
Telegraph Company, to the Attorney Gen.
eral for the commencement of action or
actions to vacate the charter of the Mutual
Union Telegraph Company, the Attorney
General this morning decided to grant the
application, and telegraphed simultaneous
ly to the counsel for the applicants and
Telegraph Company that he had so decided.
The Attorney General says: "The In.
crease of the capital stock OF the Mutusa
,Buioiz &hsaet 5ssssised- law bat - -
rect violation of the statrte, allowing the
formation Of telegraph companies. 1t IS
fair to infer that Moore 81 Co. arranged
with the five directors for an increase IN
order to receive for greater amount OF
stock of nominal but
EIssteious YSsRe,
for which no other consideration was ever
given more than the construction of the
contract Thus it appears that the whole
capital stock Of this Company, the first SIX
thousand shares being surrendered, IS
invalid as issued under void increase,
which affects every share issued, so that it
has no stock, no body or Vitality, and the
issue was also hollow and unsubstantial
without consideration, and intended TO be
used without the slightest heed to policy
or mandate OF law. The increase OF capital
stock and the manner of Issues were
Userpations of Franchises
meyer given by the State, and in NO sense
were merely technical violations OF its
policy and legislation. That the action can
be maintained seems obvious. 1t would
be mere evasion to deny the application on
the ground that it could not; therefore, if
the court approves and the people are
properly indemnified, action will be
brought, and if judgment be directed for
violating the charter, the property will be
sold or transferred to a reconstructed COM
pany, or a successor properly constructed
as a valid organization and the proceeds
divided among the creditors and other
benefciaries, so that the loss will be only
of the violated charter

The watson Bribery Case.

CoLuNBus, O., November 29.-In the cross
examination Of Colonel William Jackson,
witness for the defense in the Watson
bribery trial, some rich points were devel-
oped. He said he was employed by Wat
son as consulting engineer for the Union
Railroad Company, on November lst 1881,
at a salary of $500 per month and expenses,
and that his services ended on the day the
Legislature adjourned last April; that he
had received 500 in installments Of so
and $50 at q time, and was not yet fully
paid for his services; that in addition to
civil engineering, his duty was to help en-
gineer the Scott bill through the Legisla.
ture, by preparing newspaper articles and
having them printed, and IN this connec-
ton, he stated, that he paid $50 for print
ing one Of said articles in the Columbus
Sunday Capital. Having testified in his
examination in chief that he had reported
TO Watson that Majority OF the Legisls-
ture favored the Scott bill, he was asked to
name some Of the members who would vote
Sn- en- ts Eave the names OF MeSsrs.

COUNTING THE COST.
Estimates OF the Appropriations for
the Coming Year.

WASHINGTON, November 20-The House
Committee on Appropriations to day COM
pleted the Indian appropriation bill: The
general appropriations were reduced about
SCI. 600 as conn pared with the amount appro-
priated for the current year. II was agreed,
however, to increase the allowance for
educational purposes Sll5,O00 in excess OF
the amount appropriated for the current
year. The estimates are completed so far as
they refer to the civil, military and naval
establishments, foreign intercourse, In
dian affairs, pensions, public works, postal
service, and several of the miscellaneous
PURPOSES. The estimates for the civil estab-
lishments aggregate so, $3.50, ,9i5. The esti'
mates for the same purposes last year
amounted to $19. 529, 0S3 and the amount
appropriated for the current fiscal year was
$40, ,477,743.
The greatest increase OF estimate over the
amount appropriated last year is about
SS.OCO,COO in the naval establishment
$3.50, 100 for construction aud repair oil
vessels, against 81, ,7J0, ,05S appropriated last
year, and 4, ,l65 900 for steam machinery,
against 81, 600, 1876 last V ar. Nothing Is
asked by the War Department for rivers
and harbors.
For the first time in the histary OF the
Post Office Department an excess OF reye'
nues over expenditures is anticipated. Un'
der the head of civil establishment only
$50, 900 is estimated TO be necessary, while
under the head of postal service surplu;

estimated at the sum Of $4,g29. .3i5, which

The Morey Letter once More.

WASHINGTON, November 29.-After all
the talk about John l. Dayenport's report
on the Morey letter, it is probable that
that document will never see the light
unless some one publishes it as private en-
terprise. Davenport had half of an arrange
ment with Jay Hubbell to print it as a cam.
paign document, and it is said it was sent
here for Hubbell to read. Mr. Hubbell
aided by others, gave it careful reading
and then declined to have anything to do
with it, on the ground that it was libelous
and had no foundation for the conclusions
that were reached. 1t was next offered to
the Republican campaign committee few
days before the fall elections, but it was
again declined. Several New York papers
were next given a chance to handle it, bnt
they would not touch it, giving as a reason
that there was nothing in it that was new
or of interest.

Keifer has determined upon something OF
an innovation in calling the House of Rep
resentatiyes together on next Monday,
naming the hour of IL A. NJ. as the time OF
assembling, instead of noon, as heretofore.
A thorough investigation of the subject has
developed the fact that no law or authority
higher than the rule of the House itself
exists for fixing the hour a. y N, and
Keiter has determined that the resolution
of the House passed last session fixing the
time of assembling at IL A. NJ. of each day,
is still in force. As the Senate will meet
at noon. the spectacle will be presented,
for the first time in the history of the Gov
eminent, of the two houses OF Congress
meeting at different hours on the first day

THE FAST MAIL SERVICE.
The jealousy OF western Roads Hin.
derfne sss Operations.


WASHINGTON, November 29.-There seems
to be a fair prospect :of covering back
into the Treasury the greater part OF the
s600,eOO appropriated for the curren. fiscal
year for the fast mail service. When the
appropriation was made by Congress 1t was
the intention and desire Of the Superinten.
dent Of the Railway Mail Service 10 have
fast mail train clear through from New
York TO San Francisco. He was baked in
the attempt to carry out the project by a
pool of the Rock Island, Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy, and Chicago and North
western railways, each of which was un-
willing that the other should have it, and
consequently agreed TO put up the rates
from Chicago 70 Council Bluffs SO high
that the appropriation would not meet IL.
The result has been that scarcely more than
$40,0oGof the whole amount has been speat,
and that chiefly between New York and
Chicago. The jealousy OF the Northwest
ern roads has kindered all efforts TO put
the fast mail on any line west of Chicago,
each corporation being determined that no
one of them should have the advantage
which would result from running on faster
time. Superintendent Thompson Is now
in New York endeavoring to make an ar
rangement to have another car put into the
fast mail service between New York ana
Chicago, those now in use not being enough
to carry the weight Of mail matter trans
ported each day between the two cities.

The Increaae 0f LunAcY.

WASHINGTON, November D.-The forth
coming report Of the census relative 70 tine the
that within the last ten years the number
OF idiots and lunatics in this country has
doubled. This is very large gain in pro.
portion to the increase Of population, and
The conclusion which must be arrived at Is
either that there is an appalling addition
constantly being made to the ranks OF the
insane and idiOtic, or else the census OF
1870 was very imperfectly taken, and the
results found at that time are utterly unre.
liable. Mr.. Wines personally is inclined
to the opinion that the defects OF the CEN
sus OF 1870 have much TO do with the start
ling exhibit made at this time. although he
thinks also, that the percentage OF insane
cases is also increasing somewhat Is com.
pared with the total population.
