One day last week two yonng
women oil Davenport boarded al,
eastern bound train that they might
ride few miles TO Moline with an.
other girl, a through passenger from
the West aud former classmate al

10 the Editor Of the Salem NasS.) Regis
Ter: would have accepted your kind in
yitation TO visit you in your new quarters
with pleasure before this bad not my old
enemy, Mr.. Rheumatism, bounced on me
so suddenly. lie arrived last Friday, and.
without stopping to send up his card,
rushed In and grasped me by the hand
with such grip that in few hours my
hand and wrist were 20 badly swollen and
painful that l felt a. though one oi Mr..
Hatch's coal-teams had run over me. Mr..
Rheumatism has been constant visitor OF
mine for several years; always swells, and
puts on great many airs. and makes him
self at home, deyourng my substance and
leaving me poor in flesh and pocket. La
winter he came and staid two months. l
then made up my mind that the next time
he came would change his diet, as he has
always gobbled down everything set before
him. l was somewhat ut q loss what to
feed him with, but finally concluded to
give him three square meals day OF IT.
Jacobs OIL morning, noon, and night.
This fare he is Disguised with. and Is pack
ing up his trunk, and viii leave by to-mor-
row or next day; says he cannot stop any
longer, rs he has pressing business else
where. He Is treacherous fellow, and
have no doubt he intends visiting some
OF our Salem friends; IL he does Just give
him the same fare that did and he won't
stop long. j. s. LEPAy0uR.

A MAN Identified &c the Murderer Of

In comnany with the man Baker, who saw
Tho murderer Of Mrs. Bell, visited Salem
TODAY and identified a lodgcr who put up
AZ the police stition last night as the man
wanted. and took him to Boston on the
noon train. The name Of the man, as given
10 the police, IL George Edmunds. lie
tallies exactly with the description OF Mrs.
Bells assassin, and Baker, who saw the
murderer lust after Mrs. Bell was stabbed,
Is almost ready To swear that the prisoner
Is the man. Edmunds applied Tor lodg-
ings late Thursday night at the police sta
ton. His clothing was covered in spots
with blood. and there was blood upon his
handkerchief. He said that he had come
from Boston, and was bound for Lowell.
He il fortv-five years old, FIVE feet nine
inches In height, and weighs one hundred
and forty.fiye pounds. lie cannot account
for the blood stains.
Edmunds was subjected 10 searching
examination at the Fourth police station.
Allen Fairclough, Mr.. Baker, and villa
Bell were summoned for the purpose OF
Identification. AT the close OF the investi-
CATION Captain White said: ave don't feel
satisfied we have the right man, and that -
all we have TO say ut present. The man
will be kept i'm confinement for the present.
The proprietor Of a hnrdware-storc on
Washington street near Oaks street says his
first customer on Tuesday morning after
opening the store at 1870 was a man whose
description iallies completely with that OF
the murderer, and who bought two

The Exfravagant Demands Made Upon
tI,e Government for Services.

WASHINGTON, March l0.-The minority
of the committee on expenses incident TO
General Garficld's illness viii oppose the
extrayagant allowance TO the physicians
made by the majority. They will not re-
commend any specific amount, but will OPP
pose anything like $4,000 for DIR. Bliss
and Others in proportion. II appears that
the committee has had a stormy time over
the consideration. At the last meeting
Blackburn denounced the doctors and
declared that il would be burlesque
and an insult TO the intelligence OF the
country to pay q man $4,000 for treating
pus-cavity for two months rs gunshot
wound and never discovering his mistake
until the dissecting-knife revealed it after
the victim was dead. The friends OF the
high allowances, it is said. have been try
ing to arrange Tor the passage OF their bill
through the House the same day with
rush and without reference, trusting to
sentiment to aid the accomplishment
of this end. The minority, however,
will insist that the bill take its place on
the calendar and submit to the light OF cX-
animation and discussion. Ii is not be-
lieved that it will be reached till next ses-
sion, and many are in favor OF that course.
thinking that then time will have cooled
the passions OF all concerned, and that it
will be possible to have il impartially con-
sidercd. SAID one OF the committee to-
day =" II the people of this country could
see the bills brought in for allowance gem
cral disgust would be the result. / would
az soon think OF asking Congress to pay
me for nursing my wife through I'm illness
As to put in such bills Us some OF these il ]
were in the place OF certain persons could
