RAILROADS.

CHICAGO, June 20-The new pooling
passenger arrangements between Chicago
and Southwestern points went into effect
to-day. 1t was freely predicted that the
arrangement will be broken soon, because
the through rates from New York to Kan
sas City, which have been S25 via Chicago,
and via St. Louis S23. 20 will, under the
present plan, be S32 so via Chicago, and
only $31. rs via st. Louis. This is great
er discrimination in favor of St. Louis than
the st. Louis roads ever claimed, and the
Chicago roads are likely to object

CHICAGO, June 20.-The brickmakers of
the south side who struck short time ago
and received an advance of 123 cents per
day, notified their employers this evening
that unless they were given another ad-
vance of 12a cents they would quit work
Thursday morning. The manufacturers
have a large number of orders on hand
and it is thought they will yield. About
8, 500 men are concerned in the demand.
1t is claimed by manufacturers that they
are paying higher wages now than other
cities and that brick elsewhere can be sold
here cheaper than Chicago brick.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The following
order has been issued by the war depart
ment, by direction of the secretary of war:
The sentence in the case of Second Lieu
tenant Henry o. Flipper. Tenth cavalry,
will take effect June 80, 1882 from which
date he will cease to be an officer of the
army.
The conference committee of the senate
and house of representatives reached an
agreement this evening on the army appro
priation bill, which will doubtless be rati-
fed by the two houses. The bill as agreed
on provides that from and after its enact
ment whenever an officer has served forty
five years. either as an officer or soldier,
either in the regular or volunteer service,
or both, he shall, if he makes application
therefor to the president. be retired from
active service and placed on the. retired
list, and when the officer is sixty-four years
old he shall be retired from active
service and placed on the re-
tired list; provided, that generals
of the army, when retired
sh all be retired without reduction curren
pay and allowances and no act now in
force shall be SO construed as to limit or
restrict the retirement of officers as herein
provided for.
The senate amendment applying $780,.
600 for the construction of an army and
navy hospital at Hot Springs, Arkansas, is
agreed to.
o1 fo
at issue between the houses. The
retirement clauses as agreed to by con-
ference of the committee will make the
retirement of army officers compulsory at
the age of sixty-four, and making it op-
tional with them at the end of forty-f1ve
years service.

testified that the Credit Industry was the

fed as minister in giving the Credit In
dustriel friendly countenance if they seem
ed able to indemnify Chill and save Peru
! from loss not to the extent of guaranty
on the part of the United States or a pro
tectoral. The whole matter should have
gone to the state department.
| He understood that ministers sent out
| by this government were to consider the
claims of the Credit Industriel and give it
proper sympathy.
Committee went into secret session on
the question whether the witness should
answer Belmont's query whether he wrote
the dispatches of June Is. Belmont final
ly waived the question which closed this
testimony, and the committee may not re-
port this session.

Roberts lost his barn and three horses.
The house of Geo. Lewis was wrecked,
and he and his wife and daughter saved
themselves by clinging to wire fence.
Mr.. Irving's barn and other buildings were
swept away. All accounts indicate that
the tornado originated IN Boone county,
as 1T was seen but little farther west of
there. Prof. Macomber, of the Agricul
tural college, places its commencement in
the southeast corner of that county. After
damaging the barn of Mr. Lewis it divided,
one part going north, tearing Clark house
to splinters Half a mile further the
houses of Turner and Roberts were
wrecked At South Ames eight head of
cattle were torn to pieces and twisted up
in a wire fence. Wickham's house, in this
vicinity, went next, then McFarland's, and
half mile further on Templetons. The
width, McComber says. was over three
hundred feet, tearing trenches in the
ground one to three feet feet deep and
fifty feet long in sod or hard road indis-
criminately. 1t is thought these trenches
may have been plowed by the wrecks of
houses. The south branch of the tornado
went toward Kelly, where the damage has
already been reported. 1t started at Gar
den Prairie at 80 was south of Ames
at 7:45, at Grinnell at s:45, at Malcom at
915, and at Mt. Pleasant at II. Many
describe the storm cloud as like a long
rope, springing backward and forward and
reaching from sky TO earth.

The Century for July.

The July Century opens with frontispiece portrait of Emmerson from the bust by Daniel c. French, which is thought to be most sat. istactorY representation of the philosopher in his later vigor. The engravef, Mir. Kruell, in retaining the texture of the marble, has lost nothing of the likeness. Here is paper on ''Emerson's Personality" by Emma Lazerus, with riminescences, and an editorial treating of his character and infuence,-and close study of his poetry will be the next paper in the series of essays by Mir. E. C. Stedman.
 The illustrated papers include two of deci. ded interest at this season: carefully pre- pared and illustrated account of 'The Evolu tion of the American Yacht" by s. G. W. Benjamin, and "The Horse in Notion" by Col, George E. Waring Jr., both fully illustrated, the latter with forty-four cutss after Muy- bridges photographs of runningE horses, the text being popular review of Dr, Stilman's quarto volume on the subject The opening article is an interesting and richly illustrated paper of travel, by Lieut.. c. E. $. Wood, en- titled "Among the Thlinkets in Alaska" The conclusion of John Muir's "Bee-P Pastuces of California" is printed with illustrations by Fenn; and an acute literary criticism, and an ont-of-door flavor are found in an essay by John Burroughs on Thoreau, whose last portrait is given, engraved from tin-type which once belonged to his friend Emerson. This is one of Mir. Burroughs most delightful papers.
 Of the illustrated material-the most promi- nent is the third and last part of Thomas Carlyle's sTour in Ireland" (which is full of

mer by the administration of arsenic by one or
 more of the accused. The accused are not
 on trial for rape or for telling lies. There
 is really no question in the case except
 the great question of fact-did these parties
 admister the arsenic to the girl, and did she
 die in consequence ot it. The states claim
 that if these parties induced this girl to take
 this arsenic, they are guilty of the minor
 degree of homicide, I don't think worthy of
 your consideration. It was case of murder
 in the first degree or it was nothing. Still,
 the law gives the jury right to find a lesser degree of murder. The state must prove
 their case affirmatively without regard to the defense. You will consider carefully how this girl came to her death You want to be satisfied in the first place as to the cause of this girls death; if you have any doubt about it the law gives the prisoners the benefit of that doubt. The state claim there is positive evidence to show that death did not result from drowning, while the defense claim there IS enough evidence of drowning to at least raise reasonable doubt. Then you have to consider whether she did die of arsenic;
 whether the quantity wao sufficient to cause death. Then you have to consider, when, where and by whom tho arsenic was adminis- tered All these gre vitally important matters. Circumstantial evidence is to be relied upon, but the circumstances must correspondent point in one direction. If there is any theory which can reasonably account for death or any other hypothesis than that the state places before you, you must accept it. Another thing. the state must we'll establish each fact in the chain of circumstances For example they must prove the accused parties and Jennie Cramer were at the flying horses on Friday night and had the opportunity to ad- minister the arsenic. You know, gentlemen, how difficult it is to fix the question of the identity of a person. If the circumstances, proved, constitute, when grouped evidence equal to that of two full witnesses it is your duty to find a verdict of If the alibi set up by the defense is proven in your opinion, that is sufficient. It forms perfect defense. The whole issue s one of fact and not of law and the whole responsibility rests with you. If the evidence 8 not found equal to two competent witnesses , verdict of murder in the second degree may oe rendered. The state claim it is case of irst degree or none at all, and I concur. With these remarks I leave the case in your hands,"

Is an ideal Fourth of July number. In the first place, there is the amusing story by So- phie Swett of "The Boy who Lost the Fourth of July; then an interesting account of "An Early American Rebellion" which was led by Nathaniel Bacon against the Governor of Vir. ginia in 1876; and Noah Brooks contributes spirited narrative of the famous sea.fight between the Essex" and "Phebe" in the war of 1872.
 Besides these, there is very entertaining article on Swords" by John Lewees, which is illustrated by twenty.three pictures of va- rious sorts of swords, famous sword-hilts, and one of the sword. bearer of Exeter and the fine, ceremonial weapon he carries The frontispiece illustration is dashing picture of "The Queen of Prussias Ride," accompanying poem with the same title.
 Edwin Lassetter Bynner's eight page story, ''The Extra Train" is a clever account of family who spent an entire summer on specially fitted.up train of cars; and Frank R. Stockton tells an amusing story of Coon hunt.
 But perhaps the article which will be read with the most wide spread interest is that on Amateur Newspapers" by Harlan H, Ballard This contribution treats of the riee of anna. teur printing and it's development into an industry, with an organized Association. There is history of the National Amateur Press Association, with specimens of and extracts from many amateur journals, DOT traits of distinguished amateur journalists, and hints in regard to starting and carrying on an amateur newspaper.
 Mrs. Dodge's story, s'Donald and Dorothy" is continued, with an amusing mock boat race and an exciting adventure on the road The number is completed with the usual departments, and capital selection of clever stories, jingles, and pictures.
