sion OF men, some sitfs uniforms, and
others with shotguRs, having with them a
very black and very wicked-looking
darky, whose arms were bound behind
him with a cotton rope.
However serious his crime might have
been in Texas, it was nothing so fearfully
bad here. He was charged with having
stolen mule from Mr.. Thomas Caraway,
who lives on the other side OF Wolf river,
in this county. He rode it to Covington,
where he tried to sell it to Mr.. Wether-
ington. His clerk, j. II. Todd, suspected
something wrong, and asked the darky his
name and where he lived. He said his
name was Pollard McKeon and that he
lived on Toof's daughters place, Six mileS
from Capleville. Todd knew the ,onntry
too well to believe him, an1i at once mt
him under arrest, with the assistance al f.

Knocking at the Doors OF Congress for
Permission TO Enter the Nation
Special to the Appeal
WASHINGTON, December 12.-There are
already two powerful railway corpora
tions knocking at the doors of Congress
for permission to run their lines through
the Indian Territory. One is the Gulf,
Colorado ard Santa Fe rood, which has
been built from Galveston through the
State OF Texas and is now being operated
to the line of the "Nation." 1t wants an
outlet to Denver over the prohibited land.
The otter applicant is the projected Aran-
sas Pass road, to run through San Antonio
and the heart of Texas to Kansas City.
They also must have the right of way over
the Indian country to reach Kansas City.
Both roads are represented by influential
agents in Washington, and strong effort
will be made to secure the desired right of
way. The friends of the Gull, Colorado
and Santa Fe company are endeavor-
ing to arrange a meeting of all the
Representatives in Congress from Texas,
Kansas and Missouri, without regard to
the politics Of the members, for the
purpose of obtaining their united support
OF the measure. If the friendly action of
these three delegations can be secured the
company. hopes tt. force the passage of the
bill, but Iii view OF the complicated dues-
tons arising out OF existing treaties with
the Indians, the fight promises to be a
lively one. 80

Carl Schurz Retires from the Evening


New York, December 1.-THE Ecening
Post yesterday announced that Mr.. Carl
Schurz had permanently dissolved his
connection" wit. ..it, having withdrawn
from the editorial department some time
ago "in consequence of serious diff
ferences of opinion between him
self and his associates concerning tile
treatment OF important public ques-
tions in the editorial columns" To
those who know Mr.. Schurz, and who
have followed the course OF the Post of
late, the announcement WIS not i suf-
prise. The effect of Mr.. Schurz's with
drawal on the fortunes of the Manor w.
mains to ~ ~ seen. When Mr.. Henry Viii
lard secured control of that journal about
two years ago and placed it in charge
of Mr.. Sehurs as editot-ih-chief. with
Mr.; F.. L.. Gcdkin-, and Mr.: .Horace
White as associate editors, it was expected
that Mr.. Schurz and his able lieutenants
would revive the paper from the moribund
condition into which it had begun to sink
after the death OF tie venerable Willism
Cullen Bryant. MIR. Schurz became identi-
fed with the press on leaving the Univer-
sity of Bonn. Since then he has been a
prominent public man both in Germany
and in this country. He came to the United
States in 1852 and played an important
part in the most critical part OF our his
tory. He resigned the post of Minister, to
Spain to take up arms in defense OF ms
adopted country, and distinguished him
self as igadier-general of volunteers at
the second battle of Bull Run, and at Get
tysburg, After the war he did good work
as commissioner to visit the Southern
States and report upon The affairs oi the
Freedmen's Bureau. Returning to his
early love in 1865, he acted fcT two Years
as the TTibune's Wps:sinington correspond
ent, and subsequently was connected for
several years with the press of st. Louis
and Detroit. Elected United States
Senator from Missouri in 1859, he
served in thai body for six years
with distinction and became n leadet of
the Republican party. His revolt in 1881,
When he started the Liberal Republican
movement, which eliminated in the nom-
ination of Horace Greeley for the Presi-
dency, was Characteristic OF his independ-
ent spirit. His untiring services in the
campaign of 1876 were recognized by APP
pointment by Hayes as Secretary of the
Interior. In that position he was sur
rounded by many difficulties, made a ton-
sciehtious effort to settle the Indian ques-
ton, and did not succeed in escaping a
measure Of the odium which attached IL
self to the Hayes Cabinet.

THE DONNELLy CASE,
Defendant Restrained from Collecting
More Than sIOO n Month.

An amended bill was fled in the Chan
cery Court yesterday by T.. II. I,ane, next
friend, etc, against Mrs Fate Donnelly.
The bill recites tfe former action of the
court in sSnding the children to the St.
Agnes Academy, and goes on to say that
| the condition of defendant is such that
she is not responsible for her conduct, and
that it is very probable she will continue
drinking until her death; that the chill
dren's father had his life insured for $3.50
for their benefit, and that his widow had
no interest or control in this money, al
| though she was allowed to receive it as
| guardian without having given bond. De-
fendant has also in her possession $4,000
in United States bonds, for which she is
liable to account to her children; that
$500 is now on deposit in the German
National Bank, which amount is the in
terest on the bonds, and upon which de-
fendant draws at will. There is also a
large amount of real estate in the city
which the defendant claims to own excli-
sive of her children. 1t is therefore asked
that defendant be denied the power of
using any more of this money. The Court
granted the injunction with the proviso
that Mrs. Donnelly might draw 500 a
