editor few days ago communicated to a
friend who was travelling this way, the
fact that Tllden had recently start

In full blast. Each week this
editor was receiving printed sheets
containing editorials and correspondence
from Eastern papers pressing Tilden's
nomination. These We're accompanied
with letters urging their publication and
saying that if printed and the bills sent
TO the New Ork address given, the latter
would be promptly paid. This particular
editor had already published one lot of
this literature, and had received the
amount of the bills rendered.
This discovery gives great uneasiness
here among the friends Of other Demo-

current among the Democrats. 1t is that,
while he knows that he cannot live long.

think his name and his money would give

a WILD RUN ON THE RAIL.
How a Runaway Train without an En-

HOW Runaway Train without an En-
gine was Propelled by Tornado.
An incident which we believe has never
had parallel in railroad history, says a
Lincoln Mo- dispatch to the st. Louis
Gt0be-DemOcrdt, occurred on last Thurs
day on the Burlington and Missouri Rail-
road between this city and Denver. At
Akron the tornado on Thursday unroofed
the round house and did some other dam
age. About O'Clock in the evening.
when the wind was at its strongest. ii
started a train of eight box cars,
loaded with coal, that were stand
ing on the side track at that
place. Two brakes were set, but thew
were not enough to hold it, and it ran
through the split switch without being
deralled and started east. The track was
nearly level where the train started, but
there is down grade this side Of Akron.
The wind was so strong that it took the
tram more rapidly than the passenger
trains over the line move, even on the
level track, and when it reached a down
grade OF course the speed became some
thing fearful. The operator at A krOn
noticed the runaway train soon after it
broke loose and sent the alarm down the
line. Everything was ordered side
tracked, and the crazy train had the
right of way. The cannon ball train
barely escaped.
Marvellous as it may seem, those run.
away cars ran 100 miles, passing eight
stations, over track which is for great
part of the distance almost perfectly
level, with no prOpelling power but the
WIND. They ran the 100 miles in less
than three hours, and station agents and
others who witnessed the strange train
held their breath with awe as it whirled
by at the rate of nearly a mile minute.
1t passed Haiger at the rate of forty miles
an hour and is said to have run the twen-
ty miles OF down grade this side of Akron
in eighteen minutes.
AT Benkleman, ninety-fye miles this
side of Akron, freight was standing on
the side track. AS the runaway train
passed the engineer ran his engine out.
with a brakeman on the tender to make
the coupling, ard gave chase. 1t was an
exciting chase, but the engine, which
brought to the aid of the wind the power
OF the steam chests, soon closed the gap
between itself and the flying train. About
half way between Benkleman and Max
the fugitive was oyertaken. the coupling
successfully made and the cars, after
pulling the engine some distance, brought
to standstill.

How Minnesota Sheriff Disarmed Four
Montana Deputies in a Sleeper.
Last spring, says a St. Paul special. a
corrupt ring Of county officials was broken
up at Miles City, Montana, through whose
malfeasance and extravaganza the county
was involved in an Indebtedness of over
$4,000. They were charged with election
frauds in November, 1882, and gross Off
cial malfeasance. Forty-one indictments
were found against them by the grand
jury. County Clerk Taylor escaped, but
was arrested in Ell Paso, n. NJ. recently.
and three officers from Miles City went to
bring him back. They arrived with their
prisoner a few days ago in ST. Paul where
| friends of Taylor obtained a writ of habeas
corpus. The Montana oficers-the Con-
ley brothers and William Smith-refused
to obey the writ, and an attachment was
issued, and Sheriff MertZ, of Crow Wing
county was directed to arrest the party at
Brainerd.
On the arrival Of the train at Brainerd,
Sheriff MertZ boarded the car with den
uty and stationed a man at every door.
In the forward sleeper he found the four
men, who instantly drew pistols and
backed into a corner Each had a pair
OF selt-cOcking revolvers, cowboy calibre.
and each covered his man, half dozen
having rushed to the Sheriff's support.
The coach was filled with people, all in
tenselY excited. Although the Montana
fellows threatened to shoot at the first
movement, Sheriff MertZ coOlly walked
up and took the pistols from them one
after another and locked up the party in
Jail. They were returned to st. Paul to-

A DELIGHTFUL REGION.
A Plea for Pure Liquors.

NEWNAN's LAKE, FLA, April 6.-Edi-
tor Morning Neoes. think we have one of
the best countries under the sun. We
have healthy climate, our lands are pro-
ductiye. We have good water. Musqui-
toes and other insects are almost un-
known. Our farmers don't have to get
their merchants to "run." Hence every
thing is done on a cash system. How
many nelghboThoOds can say as much?
The orange trees Notwithstanding we
were visited by three or four billiards the
past winter) are doing exceedingly well.
The trees where they had dropped their
leaves have again clothed themselves in
their beautiful green foliage and bending
under the weight of young fruit. The
acreage planted to vegetables for ship
ment to Northern markets is unusually
large. Some are already being shipped
and command very satisfactory prices.
Should any of your readers think we are
trying to make out everything better
than it really is, we invite them
to come down here and we will
prove to them that it is far better than we
have pictured it.
Now, a few words in regard to
the liquor question. We see so
much said nowadays about the evils of
whisky. Our opinion is that whisky is
not doing near so much harm as it is
credited with, from the simple fact that
we don't get any whisky these days. Our
liquor dealers manufacture stuff and /
am told) from poisonous and dangerous
drugs, and which they sell to people for
lyhiSky, and we are under the impression
that this is where the trouble comes from.
This is why whisky kills so many nova
days. 1t is not whisky, but stuff We
think if our law making men wcG!d pass
such laws as would compel them to stop
manufacturing this nOxiOus stuff the evil
would be greatly remedied, il not en-
tirely cured. Because then the whisky
dealers would be compelled to keep and
sell pure liquors, and there would not be
so much money in it. 1t is claimed that
whisky has killed and is killing so many
of our people, but we think that we can
remedy the evil just mentioned. The
trouble will at least be greatly remedied.
We would like to hear from some of your
readers on this subject.

Democratic COmfOrt-Grant as a Posi-

Postmaster Lycurgus Dalton, OF the
House of Representatives, says a Wash
ingtOn special, who comes from Indiana,
finds cause for delight in the returns from
the spring elections in Indiana. Mr.. Dal-
ton finds that the returns show that the
Democrats have increased their majority
of two years ago, when they had 1900
votes more than the Republicans, besides
carrying counties which have been Re
publican. He finds that the Democrats
have gained control of the election ma
chinery all over the State.
Mr.. Belford, of Colorado, gives color to
the report, which has gained some circu-
latiOn here, that Grant is to be a candi-
date for President before the National
Convention. He said to-day, i'm cOnversa-
tiOn with a Star reporter: EITHER Mr..
Grant or Mr.. Blaine will be the Republi-
can nominee for President. When 1 say

Grant is the man who is the most likely

AN EMPEROR'S OLD AGE.
KAISER WILLIAM SAID TO BE
VERY WHIMSICAL.

The Royal Physicians ResOrtsng to All
Sorts of Subterfuges to Circumvent
Him-Public Appearances and Desire
to Exercise Imperial Functions Two
of His LOngings-The Darmstsdt
Meeting
The Emperor William, it is reported
on good authority, says London cable
special to the New York World, has
entered into a state of pronounced
dotage. He has become abnormally sus-
piciOus of every person surrounding him.
and constantly exhibits a childish eager
ness to be before the public in inn
perial state and to perform royal
duties. This mama renders him al
most intractable to the attending
physicians. They find themselves eOmpell-
ed to resort to all kinds of subterfuges in
order to deceive their patient into accept
ing the discipline absolutely necessaryin
his present enfeebled condition. It is
said that one of the principal medical ad-
yi5ers of the Emperor has been ordered by
him into disgrace. because the prudent
doctor, in the excess Of his zeal, found
himself compelled to resort to white lie
for the purpose Of preventing His Impe-
rial Majesty from imprudently enjoying
drive when too weak to bear the exer-
else.
The doctor, on the occasion referred TO,
induced the Kaiser to spend the day in
doors by misrepresenting the state of the
thermometer and the barometrical indi-
cations outside. William did not discover
the deception until the next day, when he
learned from nOn-pOsted visitor that the
weather on the previous day had been
simply delightful. This information made
n n fh1rsf md he - F-,-
bade the offending doctor to ever again
enter the imperial presence.
The fact that such deceptiOns as the
above are found necessary by the court
physicians. and that the order of expul-
sion is secretly ignored, indicate plainly
how far advanced is the old Emper0r's
childishness. OF course the authorities
officially deny that the aged Emperor is
seriously ailing, and busy themselves in
making many official declarations that he
israpidly recovering. But all these official
announcements may be set down as at
tempts OF statecraft to hide the dlsa-
greeable truth, which is that the Emperor
is far on the dangerous side OF the line OF
decadence. he is at present suffering
greatly from the insomnia that set in
during the cOngestiye chill which pros
trated him last Tuesday, and which kept
the attending physicians desperately en-
gagged at his bedside all that night.
1t is on the programme that the En-
perOr shall 90 to Darmstadt next Tues
day, that Queen Victoria shall arrive
there on the following Thursday, and that
state meeting between the two shall
take place on Monday, the DIST inst.
There is great anxiety in both London
and in Berlin to have this meeting take
place, and there can be little doubt that
William will keep his appointment if
alive, and the doctors dare allow him to
90. no matter what may be the conse-
quence to his health.
