 4 Star Route Contractors sharp Trick
 Luckily Discovered tn Time to be
 Thwas ted.
 WAsHNeroN, Aug. 29.-About year ago Mr. A. Boone was declared failing contract or on number of Star routes in the West. According to the practic of the Postoffice de- partment the routes were readvertised and let and in all cases at higher figure than that at which Boone originally took them. Boone had many other routes that he still held. The pay for these routes was with held to make up the excess paid the contrac- tors on the routes upon which Boone failed. Boone it is stated at the Postofice depart ment had sublet number of routes advan- tsgeously; for instance, a route for which he secured $1, 200 he would sublet for ST., 900, thus making @2oO clean without any work at all, but when the pay was withheld on these routes he was shut out from all profit and some time ago sent out a circular letter to all his sub-contractors offering to turn over the contracts to them on the routes upon which he had not failed for certain percentage This action came to the atten- ton of the department and yesterday Post master General Gresham decided that no such collision be recognized. Had not the scheme been discovered the contract office officials say that the government would have been without redress and would have lost all the excess paid on the routes upon which Boone had failed.

The Cholera in EGypt-Dtssustfng Sant-
 tary Neglect that Developed its Origin.
 WAsHMGToN, Aug. 29.-Censul General Heap, at Constantinople, in 8 letter received today by the State department, gives de- tailed account of the cholera in Egypt, in which it is shown that the number of deaths by cholera from June 24th to July 18th was 2.932. The outbreak of the cholera is &C., counted for by the conditions of the towns. Before the epidemic appeared cattle plague of extreme virulenee had been raging, and such of the infected cattle as were not slaughtered died and after being skinned their carcasses were. thrown into the rivers and canals, whence all the drinking water is drawn. In some places carcasses were tied to the banks of the river to attract fish, which fed on purified fish and then were caught and sold for food. ''This,'' says the consul, ''seems to have been done to breed and propagate cholera and it is quite useless to seek it's origin in India The wonder is not that there is cholera in Egypt, but that the mortality rate is not much greater than re- ported. Since the military cordons have been established around infected places, either through ignorance or malevolence they not only do not allow anyone to pass out, but they alloy nothing to pass in, not even provisions or medicines. Meanwhile the dwellers in the stricken places are without either, so they prefer to risk the chances of cholera by eating the csrcasses of diseased animals rather than starVe to death" i"

A ROYer'S Return.

READING, Pa, june 8.-An event
which rarely happens in real lie oc-
Cured here yesterday. Twenty five
years ago John Henuse was barber
in this city. He then suddenly disap-
peared. When the war broke out his
wife received o letter from him an
nouncing that he was in the rebel
army, having been conscripted. After
that nothing was heard of him, and he
was mourned as dead. His children
grew up, and daughter was married.
Yesterday Henuse put N an ap-
pearance and revealed himself to
his wife-who is still unmarried
and daughter. He says that when with
the army he marched TO near Gettys-
burg, and one night made his escape.
He was recaptured, put on board war
vessel, where he remained for some
time and then made his escape. He
travelled westward, was taken prisoner
by Indians and was held captive for
fifteer years. He learned g. number
Of Indian dialects. and was q member
Of the tribe. He made his escape at
last, went to France, and returned to
America via Cuba.

THE GIFT THAT IS TO SURPRISE HIM.
WAsHINGToN, June 8.-General Phil
Sheridan is probably not aware that he
is to have very fine residence in the
most fashionable quarter of the capital
presented to him when he arrives here
next fall to succeed Gen. Sherman as
the head of the army. Certain of his
admirers have, however, bought him a
house, and to-day it was paid for and
the conveyance made. The price paid
was S43. 600. The place was purchased
from Judge Adds, of the French-Amer-
ican claims commission, and was built
by him about four years ago. It is 10
Gated in the northwest corner, on
Rhode Island avenue. It is reported
that Judge Adds family are going
abroad. This kind Of testimonial to the
commander-in chief Of the army is not
without precedent. General Grant was
presented with house when he be-
came the head of the army, and when
he resigned the position to take the
he sold it in turn to General
friends, who gave 1t to him.
The latter has made his home N it ever
since, and still occupies it.

ton of Indian Agent Wilcox in refus-

MERRICK's CONCLUSION.
Merrick concluded his address as
follows: The people, regardless of
party, would pay an everlasting tribute
to an administration that had moral
courage enough to punish the corrup-
ton OF members of its own political
household. He demanded from the
jury verdict OF guilty against the de-
PENDANTS, not q verdict based OF sym-
path1es, but On facts, evidence and law.
he demanded this verdict in hehalf of
the people Of the United States, whose
peoples treasury the DEFENDANTS had
robhed. he demanded a verdict in
vindication of the official trusts which
the defendants had disregarded, of
laws of the land which they
had spurned with contempt. He de-
manded verdict In vindication of the
truth, honor and virtue Of the Ameri-
can people, which these men had
stained and blackened. By verdict
of guilty that injury to virtue, truth
and honor might be redeemed, and
that too, by a jury taken from the peo-
pie showing their appreciation out
raged and honor disregarded. Mer-
rick thanked the court and
jury for their patient attention and
and then the question arose as to the
time to be allowed for argument in
their prayer for instructions. At In
gers0lls suggestion It was decided to
limit the arguments to Monday, the
time to be equally divided between
the prosecution and defense. The at.
tendance Of the jury being uMneces-
sary during the argument on the pray
ers they were excused until Tuesday.
The court adjourned until Monday.
When Merrick took his seat an at
tempt at applause was checked by the
judge. Both sides prepared their pa-
pers. After short discussion the coun-
sci of both submitted their prayers to
secare their publication in the next is
sue Of the record.
