The Great Mystery Solved
a, Last.
Her Body Found Floating in the
River Near St Louis.
No Marks OF Violence p Probably a
Case OF Self-DestIuction.


st. Louis, May 30 While Joseph
occupation of gathering driftwood in
the Mississippi for the past thirty or
forty years, was rowing his skill oppos-
lite C~arondolet, some six miles below
the centre OF the city this morning, he
spied a floater in the water. lie imme-
dlately attached a rope TO the body and
dragged 1t to the shore. On landing he
to9nd it to be the remains of a young
girl, and on examining it closely 1t was
discovered that the garments in which
1t was clothed bore n strong resem-
blance to those worn by Miss Zoe Wat
kins the day she disappeared, the des-
cription Of which he had read. He i'm
mediately reported at the police station
in Carondolet, and two or three officers
hastened to the foot of Miller street,
where the body lay, and found the
clothing tailed exactly with the des-
cription given by the girls sister and
friends, even to the fiiligree silver ear
rings and ruby finger ring with a
bangle. Police headquarters in the
city were at once notified. and the chief
of detectives, Frank Watkins, who has
taken a strong and active interest
in the Case instantly started for
Carondolet. The girls parents
and friends were also notified.
The body is now being brought to the.
city and will be placed in morgue
where Mr.. Watkins, the childs father,
and James Martin her uncle, will view
1t for identification. The body has been
fully identified by James Martin, with
whom the girl was stopping at the time
of her disappearance. The corpse is 80
swollen and disfigured that Mr.. Wat
kins decided he would not view the re-
mains. a post norton examination is
now being held. There are no signs of
marks of violence on the body, and she
was not outraged.

UNIFORMS AND COMPANY TAILORs.
A correspondent at Fort D. A. Rus
sell, Wyo., writes us a satirIcal letter in
regard to the uniforms of our soldiers
and their shabby appearance as con
trasted with those of EUROPEAN armies.
He says: 81 was last summer at camp
on White river asd7had there occasion
to see an Indian, brother-in-law of
Colorew, dressed up in a uniform coat
with officers bars and helmet. The
poor devil thought he was gorgeous and
hne, but he vas simply ludicrous. Now,
what keeps us from laughing, or rather
from expressing our disgust, at seeing
ourselves in similar, array. Away with
cords and taseels, brass ornaments, and
housekeeping helmetsI Our undress
uniform is good-if a second is re-
quired, it could be had by improving
the material and fit of the former"
He also delivers a broadside at COM
pany %tailors, saying; "a tailor makes
$50 or S75 a month without exerting
himself; he draws his pay and is
excused from duty. His inlistment is a
sinecure. Tailors are discharged often
with 5000 or $4,000 saved up. This
is all very well, but is it right?" MOI
the service is not in comparison with
the emoluments, and it is enriching
mi class of soldiers at the expense of
another. Il Register.

Omaha, May BOD. G.. Hull was in
dicted yesterday by the United States
grand jury on % different counts for
fraudulently obtaining money from the
government by making false vouchers
for supplies for the ~postofice building
at Lincoln, of which he was custodian.
The vouchers were signed in blank by
the parties from whom the purchases
were made, and Hull filled them out for
amounts much larger than the bills,
and by cunning manipulation succeeded
in pocketing the difference, which in
the aggregate amounted to several
Thousand dollars.

CONGRESSIONAL


HOUSE.
Mr.. Springer objected that the jour
nal omitted TO refer to the direct and
important motion made 10y him yester-
day. but which the speaker refused to
entertain. lie moved to correct the
journal and to include his motion 10
table the report of the committee en-
rules, and to recommit with instruc-
tions, together with the speakers re-
fusing to entertain his appeals.
Decision of the chair: The speaker
directed the rule applying to the matter
read. 1t declares every motion made
and entertained by the speaker shall be
journalized. Had the clerk jturnalized
these motions he would have acted i'm
properly. HI
Mr.. Springer cited other instances
where such motions had been booked.
These motions were proper and should
have appeared If the journal was a cor
rect reflection OF the doings of congress
although it condemned the speaker.
Indignant calls to order came from
the republicans, and the speaker said
Mr.. Springer was out of order.
Mr.. Springer-'tI have a right to
speak, and II not in order let my words
be taken down." He attemptedto pro-
coed amid the excitement and confu-
sion, but the speaker Gaid the sergeant
alarms would force him to desist.
The democrats gathered about to en-
courage him, and many republicans
angrily protested against Sprlnger's
course.
Mr.. Springer de1antly declared he
would not be taken from the floor, and.
Humphreys declared he would remove
him himself. -f... EEt"E'-
The speaker said he could very well
afford to allow Mr.. Springer to make
improper remarks about him, but not
to destroy the dignity Of the house by
his conduct, He would submit any
proper motion regarding tfe-correction
of the journal.
Mr.. Knott supported Mr., Springer,
although he respected the speaker as
highly as any one. The speaker was
not infallible.
The speaker maintained that
the clerk acted properly, And after
some further talk the motion. to correct
the journal was rejected, l34 to 80.
The democrats tried to flibuster, but u
quorum appeared and Miller began his
speech on the contested election case
of Mackey vs. o'Conner. rUf 400

The Brush Electric Light.

The ordinance committee met yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of considering
the ordinance granting right OF way
through the Citv to the Wheeling Brush
Electric Light Company. Solicitor Cald-
well has procured copies of the ordinance
of Cleveland and Cincinnati for the same
purpose, and also the rules adopted by the
New York and Hartford Boards of Under
writers, and framed his ordinance accord
ingly. The provisions of the ordinance
may be briefly stated as follows: The
Board of Public Works shall have super
vision of the erection of all poles, mastS,
brackets and wires, and the company shall
change any such when ordered. As the
powerful electric current requires
great care, unusual precautions are
taken. The wire must be properly inSu-
lated and frequently tested Proper non
conducting tubing must he had where the
wires enter buildings, the incoming and
outgoing wires must not be within foot of
each other and there must be cut off at
the entrance. The rules adopted by the
Board of Underwriters shall govern. Open
lights are positively prohibited, and the
precautions of globes, scIe ms and spark ar
rosters are to be adopted.
The ordinance pleased the committee and
will be presented to Council tonight.
MeSSrs. J. c. Anderson, A. J. Sweeney and
r. ". Hazlett were present at the meeting
on behalf of the company.
