KANSAS CITY, Mo, October PA novel
feature has appeared in the Higginsyiile
postmaster case, and was argued in the
United States court to-day. The grand
jury yesterday returned an indictment
against Edward Claypool for OBJ
struciing the mails. The facts, as hereto.
fore published, are that at Higginsville,
Mo-, last August, quarrel arose between
ClsypOol and John w. Endley, the post
master there. Claypool, it is charged, on the
2sth Of August. entered the postotfice Just
as pouch of mail was received, and
assaulted the postmaster. and during the
melee, which lasted some time, the mail
could not be distributed. Immediately
upon returning an indictment, the defense
fled a demurrer, maintaining that the
mails could not be obstructed except when
in motion on O railroad train, wagon or
stsge. The prosecution argued that the
mails are in transit until delivered to the
person addressed, and that the case IN point
comes within the meaning Of the statues.
The ruling of the court is awaiting WITH

New York, October 2-Subscribers to
the skirmishiug. fund met again to-day.
The pr roceedings begun with the reading OF
an article in the Irish Nation in reference
TO the Belmont fund" Joseph Cromier
suggested if the word belmont was
taken out and "Skirmishing" substituted,
the same article would apply tothe
Skirmishing fund. Reference was made
10 telegram sent to Sir Evelyn Harcourt,
and for which Sll7 was charged. 1t was
stated that only Sl2 wss paid for the dis
patch Many letters were received from
residents Of Wilkesbarre, Scranton and
other cities of Pennsylvania, stating that
the accusations made by Luke Clark at the
previous meetings were in the
main correct. The question OF the
trustees report was considered, and
it was suggested that as these trustees were
receivers Of other funds, it was likely they
would bring forward the amounts collected
for these other funds to show good finan-
cial standing OF the one in question. Capt.
Spearman suggested that only two classes
OF people had subscribed 10 the SSirmish-
ing Fund-fools who had given their
money, and cranks who wished to know
what had become of it. 1t was resolved at
the next meeting to elect permanent
officers.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
New Route TO the Pacific.

CHICAGO. October 22.-J. +. Goddard, gen
eral freight agent and c. c. Wheeler, gen
eral mansger, of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe, have started on trip of inspec-
ton over the new Guaymas branch of that
road, which will be opened for through
business, both passenger and freight, Nov.
/. The new line from Kansas City to
Guaymus, on the gulf of California, will
be about 1,6O0 miles in length, being the
longest continuous line of track owned by
any single company. At Guaymus there
is fair harb0r, and line of steamers
plies from there TO San Francisco and inter
mediate points. 1t is proposed, however,
10 establish an ocean line of steamers di-
rect from Guaymas to the more important
Australian and Chinese ports. When this
is done, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
will be in position to command fair
share of Asian and Australian business.
The route from Chicago and New York via.
Guaymas to China, Japan, and Australia
will be considerably shorter than any now
in use.

WASHINGTON, October 22.-Reports from
New York say that Johnny Davenport will
soon tell all he knows about the Morey let
ter. This" said Republican lawyer to-
day, sis Just what Kenward Philips wants.
He does not expect to get damages from
George Bliss, against whom he has entered
suit. The case is designed to bring all cir
cumstances connected with the publication
of the letter and the subsequent researches
of Davenport to light There is great
deal of curiosity to know how much was
spent in the investigation. 1t may yet
turn out that the letter is genuine and that
Davenport knew it from the start. A great
many people hereabouts are inclined to the
belief that the letter was not'a forgery.
Some think it was written by Garheld's 3
secretary and mailed in rush of cor
reSpondence and thus escaped recollection.
OF late the Presidents theory that it was
written by a newspaper man Is gradually
being abandoned.

ST. CLA1Rsv1LLz, October 22.-Hender-
sons Station, on the Cleveland, Tuscarawas
Valley and Wheeling railroad, was the
scene of a probable murder this afternoon.
The circumstances of the affray are about
as follows: Early in the afternoon crowd
of a dozen or more of the miners OF the
Wheeling Valley Company congregated at
the station and proceeded to imbibe a keg
of Wheeling beer in honor of the recent
marriage of one of their number. About
the time the beer keg became empty, John
Fitzpatrick, one of the party, grew quar-
relsome, and made several unsuccessful at
tempts to ),
ssS's Hnausurate q a0cDerek sis~'s ~,.rfsss
drawing revolver and daring the entire
crowd to come on. At last James Lawless,
who was also pretty we'll under the inHu'
ence of extract of malt, and between whom
and Fitzpatrick there existed a grudge OF
long standing, attempted to drawa revolver
from his hip pocket, when Fitzpatrick, be-
ing advised of his danger, sprang to his
feet and ran up the railroad track, pur-
sued by Lswless, revolver in hand.
After running twenty or thirty
yads Fitzpatrick stopped, faced about
and extend his hand to Lawless, proposing
to be friends and make it up. Lawless
stopped, took deliberate aim and fired, the
ball striking Fitzpatrick in the stomach
about two and one-half inches to the right
and below the naval. After the shooting
Lawless pocketed his weapon and walked
leisurely off toward his boarding place,
near the company's works, about mile
and half distant from the scene OF the
tragedy.
No Attempt Being Made 10 Capture
Him
by his fellow miners. DR.. Henry West, OF
this place, was summoned and went to the
scene of the shooting. The ball was probed
for, but all efforts to ind it were unavail-
ing. It is possible it was DETECTED from its
course and the bowels are uninjured, but on
this hangs the only hope of saving the
mans life. Lawless formerly lived at
Martins Ferry, and is not a stranger to
criminalities, having served term in the
penitentiary for the killing of party
known as "Sailor Jack" Sheriff Hilles
and his deputies made an effort to catch
Lawless this evening" but he took to the
woods and is still at large.

Hubbell, Henderson and Senator Malone,
indicating that Malone needed a large
slice of money to carry. Virginia. has rather
amazed the managers OF the Republican

they are at skies and sevens to know how
it got out. The correspondence was OF the
most confidential nature. 1t was given
out in Boston, and got publicity through
kilograms sent from that city. One theory
advanced is that General Ben Butler, while
here less than fortnight ago, arranged with
some one inside of the headquarters OF the
committee, and secured the correspond.
ence already published, and good deal
more which will be used Opportunely. This
theory NAV be erroneous, but there is a
smack Of Buffers methods in it which
