The Secret Died With Him.

PITTSBURGH, PA, Oct p.
The telegram from st. Louis stating that
a new clew had been found to Charlie Ross
has been corroborated by the statement
made by gentleman here from Wyoming
Territory, who says tlat Henry Mosher,
brother of the Mosher who admitted kid
naping Charlie Ross, was lynched near
Cheyenne five weeks ago. Mosher begged
that his life should be spared twenty-four

years past. He admitted having custody
of a person held for ransom for more than

1t is here shown that a liberal increase of op-
Grating expenses is provided for the year.
The increased earnings of the road is largely
due to an increase in the freight traffic, which
will appear in the following:
Freight earnings for the y'r 1852 S 6S2, LOO
Freight earnings for the first six
months OF 1888. 53o,ZSf.OU
And for entire year of lSS3 on
basis of first months. .......-. 1,OsO,o6SOO
The reduction Of rates made under the
ruling of the Board equitably applied along
the line of the Central Branch road, and
due allowance made for terminal charges,
will not effect SO great reduction as is an
ticipated by respondent company. While
it is not always entirely safe to anticipate
future earnings from the ration of increase
obtaining at any one time, yet we cannot
but regard the continually increasing
traffic of this road as a most favorable
augury for the future. In addition to the
figures already given under this head, we
desire to poin out the further fact that the
average earnings of the road for July, Au-
gust and September, 1883, are greatly in
excess of the average monthly earnings for
the year, ended June so, of this year. This
Is the most significant from the fact that
those months bring the lightest traffic and
the poorest financial return, not only over
this road, but, so far as we have been able
to ascertain, from reports to this office, on
all other roads operating in Kansas.
The traffic over the road for the
three months named over the traffic
indicated by the receipts or
earnings, has increased SO per cent. If the
same ratio of increase were to continue up
on the business of the whole year, and the
present rates were maintained, the receipts
of the company would register upwards of
two millions of dollars. While this is a
result which it would perhaps be too san-

County, was murdered in his store last
night, being shot in the mouth, neck and
heart. 1t is thought that he had 5000 or
$4,000 in money. The safe was open, and
appearances indicated that the murdered
man made a desperate fight for his life. II
is thought one man committed the deed. 4
horse was stolen from stable near by, on
which the murderer made his escape, and
was tracked through here. This morning
the horse came to this place from an oppo-
site direction from the scene Of the murder
without saddle or bride.

Mr.. Rice, formerly of the Coasv
Survey, and now of the Fisheries Com
mission, saws that the American oyster
is male and female, has ST mach, a
liver, and blood, and is SO sensitive that
if you scratch the oyster shell ever so
lightly the animal would know it and
hasten under protection. The oysters
feed on m: croscopic animals and micro
scopic plants. He says that the waters
of New York State would alone produce
enough oysters for the United States
with providence and care, but that arti-
fetal food could not be given to oysters,
and that, if they were to grow, the cd
must exist and also the ebb and flow

A Procession Of Sun-SpOts.

Everybody who watched the sun with
a telescope last summer must have won
dered at the great belt of spots lying
across the southern part of the disk dur
ing the last half of July. Several of the
spots and groups were of extraordinary
size, and their arrangement was very
singular. When the belt extended COM
pletely across the sun, there was visible
at one time almost every characteristic
form that sun spots present. There was
the yawning black chasm with sharply
defined yet ragged edges, vast enough
to swallow up the whole earth, with
room to spare, and surrounded by a
regular penumbral border as evenly
shaded as an artist could have made it;
there was the double or triple spot
whose lack centers, though widely
separated from one another, were
tangled, as it were, in one twisted and
torn veil of penumbra, or connected by
long, shadOwy bands; there was the
monstrous spot of grOtesque form sur
rounded by a crowd of smaller spots of
even more fantastic shape, and en-
veloped in a road, irregular penumbra
as bizarre and wonderful as the mighty
sun chasms inclosed in it; there was the
great spot, often of singular outline,
accompanied outside its shadOWy Dor
ders by one or more swarms of minute
black specks pitting the white photo
sphere in the most extraordinary fash
ion; there was the huge group, visible
even to the una"s sted eye, and consist
ing of a half a dozen or more large spots
intermingled with smaller ones whose
number seemed to defy count ng, and
enveloped in penumbral cloak of be-
coming ampl tude; there, near the edges
