Railroad Building For 1882

actual building of railroads is the

record, nearly 10000 miles of road are

DueIing with Poisoned Beer.
London Telegraph

Not long ago two young fellows, jour
neymen bronZesmiths, were sitting in Il
small Warsaw cafe playing dOminoes.
A glass half full of liquor stood on the
table between them, and one or two of
their fellow workmen were looking on at
the game with evident interest. There
was little in the appearance of the group
to attract especial attention-still less to
suggest the improbable notion that the
fourth youths composing it were two
duelists and their seconds, or that the
stake of the dOminO-match was human
life. Presently, however, the game hav-
ing come to a conclusion, the younger of
the two players, lad of sixteen named
Stanislas Julian, lifted the glass to his
lips and drank off its contents at a
draught. Five minutes later he was a
corpse. The wretched boys had quarrel
ed and agreed to fight duel IN such
sort that the death OF one or the other
must ensue. Having placed themselves
in the hands of two seconds, these latter
arranged that their principals should pay
'set" of three games at dominoes, upon
the solemn understanding that the loser
should swollow dose of the Geadliest
poison p:Ocurs BILE, This hideous COM
pact was carried out to the letter, nor did
any of the surviving persons concerned
in it, when Intercepted by the police
authorities before whom they were sub
sequently brought, betray the least re-
morse for their share in the CHASTITY trans
action. Julian's adversary, indeed bold
" avowed that had he lost the match he
would have fulfilled his pledge to drink
the poison as faithfully as his dead an
tagonst and the seconds protested that
they had only ''done their duty in seeing
the duel fairly fought out &C, ording 10
the conditions settled beforehand"

ST. PAUL, April 25.-A special
from Eau Claire says: A fire COM
menced at three o'clock p. m. yester-
day in a small barn in the rear OF
Winners Pioneer block. The steam
boat Minnie Sherman passed by a
few moments previous to the fire,
and it is supposed that cinders from
her chimney resulted in utter de-
struction of no less than four blocks
of buildings, partly comprising a
big portion of the town on the west
side OF the river, being located di-
rectly in the heart of the business
part of the city. Windows were
blown out land smoke followed,
which rendered it impossible to save
any of the contents of many stores.
The excitement Is so intense that it
is impossible to get any estimate of
the losses, but it is safe to say that
it will not be less than from $780,
600 to $275 900.

his sight, limitless, voice.ess, lonely
as when born of chaos, without a
sail, without sign of life" A little
above the mouth of the river, on the
ninIh of April, La Sale erected
stone column, Inscribed with the
arms of France and the name
of Louis XIV, and formally
took possession OF the regions
of the river Colbert, or Missis-
sippi. "The fertile plains of Texas
the vast basin of the Mississippi
from its frozen northern springs to,
The sultry borders of the gulf, from
the woody ridges of the Alleghanies
10 the bare peaks of the Rocky
mountains, passed beneath the
sceptre OF the Sultan of Versailles,
anu all by virtue of feeble human
voice, inaudible at half mile"
Illness OBTAINING La Sale on his
return voyage, prevented him from
carrying out his first plan to found
FTancO-lndian colony on the llli-
nois as a bulwark against the lro-
quois and trading post with the
western tribes occupying the mouth
of the Mississippi, and making il the
outlet of his western domain.
Setting at Starved Rock, near
the site of the great town Of
the Illinois. he soon gathered
10000 Indians round him, but From
tenac's recall and the uncOmpromi-
sing hostility of his successor, La
Barre, thwarted his projects and
compelled him to return to France.
There he was received with favor
| and sent back to establish n fort on
the river and subdue the northern
provinces of Mexico ii being errone-
Ously believed that the Red river
ran within forty or fifty leagues Of
the border. With four vessels, but
with a divided command, LaSalle
sailed from Rochelle July "a, 1854,
and though hindered by illness,
wranglIng and indisiple, made land
December SO. Unhappily La Sale
! had not been able to determine the
longitude of the mouth of the river.
and had formed an exaggerated idea
of the strength of the easternly cur
rents, so that the vessels passed the
Mississippi, and after making Gal
weston bay, landed on the Texan
coast, somewhere between the Mata-
gorda Island and Corpus Christi
Bay, La Sale identifying Matagor-
| da Bay as the western mouth of the
river, but lost vessel with all the
stores, and finally was left alone on
the 18th of March with handful of
raw cOlonists. Death, desertion,
vain quests for "the fatal river"
thinned their ranks, till, January z,
1857, La Sale, leaving behind him
about twenty men, with the women
aud children, set out to make his
way to Canada and bring back help.
his party consisted of seventeen
men. Discussions and jealousies
marked the march till, on the 18th
of March, La Sale, was shot by
some OF his followers and his naked
corpse was found among the bushes,
prey to the buzzard and the wolf.

FIRE ON THE WATER.
A Steamer Burned-HerOic Com
duct OF the Crews Mothers

New YORK, April PA Jackson
vile, Florida, special TO the New
York Herald gives the following ac-
count of the loss by burning of the
the steamer City of Sanford. By the
time the boat had grounded in three
feet of water and within thirty feet
of the shore she was wrapped in
flames with east winds sweeping
them through her fore and aft. The
passengers were up in various stages
of apparel. A group of five were on
the rear deck, when the captain
urged them to leap overheard into
the shallow water. During a brief
discussion. Miss Ireland fell over
board, and the stern wheel of the
boat still turning it caught her dress,
and was about to drag her under,
when the captain sprang overheard
and rescued her. Mr.. ireland, who
jumped after her, was caught in the
wheel, and was also rescued by the
captain. Mrs. Ireland and her little
daughter and Mrs. Keep and her
little son were then left on the deck.
The ladies were about to jump over
board, when the two children, seized
with panic from the heat and fear
full surroundings, ran back into the
blazing saloon, and mothers love,
stronger than the fear of death,
urged the two ladies after them.
The four disappeared in the fiery
furnace. and were burned to
crisp. Their remains were
found afterward under their
respective state rooms. They were
charred and blackened trunks,
grasping the almost unacceptable
bodies of their children. Mr.. g. III.
Dowey..jumped overheard, but be-
came exhausted before he reached
the shore, and sank while uttering
mournful cry for help. Captain
Shortell was an expert swimmer
and seaman, and he.wwas drowned,
no one knows how. The stewardess
and a cripple, named Smith, sprang
overheard and floated about till
finally the stewardess reached the
life raft, and Smith. when about
to sink, was rescued by the
purser and steward with a
gang plank. All three were picked
up by the relief steamer Bird. Many
of the passengers and crew sprang
overheard in the shallow water and
were saved, with the exception of
two rlggers, who have since died.

THE state government being
purely Democratic, the delegation
in congress should be so. To make
Texas WELD influence in federal leg
islation there should be no Wash.
Jones at Washington, plotting
against the dignity of our state gov
eminent, and claiming that it is
factional and unpopular. Senator
Houston's appeal to the senate In
behalf of q Democratic body main
tanning the integrity of Democratic
Texas, was most proper. The
STATEsMAN's argument has been,
that were state politics divided it
would be proper to district Texas
so that both Democrats and Repub-
licans might go to congress. But
Texas is overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, and it Is only through gerry
wandering that any district may be
made to return even an Indepen-
dent.

The Elections Cases.

CHARLESTON, April 25.-In the
United States circuit court to-day,
before Judges Bond and Bryan, the
case of the United States against
John 7. Hogg and thirty-eight
other defen lants, charged with OBJ
structing qualified voters at Bu-
lords bridge, in Barnewell- county,
in 1880, which was begun on Mon
day, was resumed to-day. The fol-
lowing witnesses, all colored, for
the prosecution, were examined /:
Berry Wroten, Albert Dufiin,
Richard Walker, Simon Smith
Evan L. Ayre, Stephen Sanderson,
JAS. T. Orr, Thos. Draper, Dublin
Holman and Joe Hogg. These wit
nesses testified that the colored peo-
pie had not had a fair chance to
vote at Buford's bridge OH the day
of election in 1880, but were told
that they must wait their turn until
after the whites got through voting.
Three of these witnesses then
admitted under cross examination
they had voted without molestation,
and said that the row between the
two persons at the polls had fright
ened some of the colored people off,
and, after they went of, the rest had
refused to vote. The witnesses were
unanimous in testifying that no one
had been hurt during the entire day,
and that the only pistol fired off was
by q colored man.

KilIea His wife.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, April 25.-
j. ID. Andrews, known as Professor
Andrews, killed his wife, at their
residence near Haysville, to-day, by
breaking her skull with a rolling
pin. Andrews showed signs of in
sanity, and stout attendant
watched him night and day, but at
a moment when the attendants eyes
were off him he did the deed. An
drews was aged about sixty years,
was an expert mathematician, and
was called lightning calculator,
and this faculty and the same exer-
else is supposed to have unbalanced
his mind.
