Wheel Club, returned to the port OF New
York from his recent bicycling trip to Der.
muda, a duty of IS per cent was demanded on
his wheel by the officer of customs, on the
ground that it was carriage. and not personal
effects. Mr.. Elwell contested the matter, and
appealed to the Secretary of the Treasury
through Representative Reed of this district.
The case was referred to the Attorney Gem
eral, who upheld Mr.. Elwell in his opinion
that bicycle accompanying the owner return

personal effects, and not subject to duty.

What an officer of the United States Sig

WASHINGTON, October 21.-An Off
cial of the signal service said to-day
relative to the long continued drouth
that, during September, it existed in
all sections east of the Mississippi val
ley and in Texas it was general.
Rains have fallen during October in
Tennessee and the Ohio valley and
lake region, but the drouth has contin-
ued in the middle Atlantic, south at
lantic and gulf states. The little rain
that has fallen has not been sufficient
to do any good to crops in these sec
tions. At Atlanta, Ga, rain has not
fallen for over two months, and it is
estimated the cotton crop in that vi
cinity will fall short 40 per cent, and
near Shreveport, La, 1t is estimated
the cotton crop will be only two-thirds
of an average. In the vicinity of Pc
tersburg, Va, it has become necessary
to close cotton factories on account of
scarcity of water.
The officer reports Indications Of
light rain in this vicinity soon, ard
says there. is. a heavy rain storm in the
lake regions. There has been no rain
of consequence, in or about Washing
ton, for nearly three months. The
shade trees along the streets and in
the parks are showing the effects of
the long continued drouth.

Further and Full Particulars of the
Capture of Sharp-1nterview with
Mr.. GlasscOck.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
ROUND Rock, October 21.-Sherif
Smothers and w. II. Turk, collector OF
Lavacca county arrived on the north
bound tIain yesterday about noon.
They were in search of one Henry
Sharp, who is charged with murder
and burglary in that county. Sharp
has been living near Liberty Hill with
his family for year or two. The
officers were making arrangements to
go up and give the gentleman
a little surprise party, when they
accidently stumbled on him at the
depot and captured him. He had just
arrived from Georgetown, and had
purchased ticket for Texacana.
It was lucky hit for the officers, as
there is $4,000 reward for his delivery
inside the jail at Lavacca. The Of
ficers chained him heavily and started
home with him on the evening train.
1t is said that he killed man about a
year ago, and recently went back to
that county and attempted to burglar
iZe Boheman's store, but was 6ppre-
hended before he succeeded in secur-
ing anything. The owner of the
store ran upon him and he shot
him twice, from the effects
of which it is thought he will die.
Sharp is a dangerous man, and it is a
blessing to those who have been
brought near him that he was arrest
ed. Heleaves wife at Liberty Hill.
Cotton is rolling in slowly, and the
merchants are paying good price
for it.
The pecan crop around hereis very
good.
Hon. George w. Glasscock was
interviewed by your reporter, and
states there is nothing in the rumor
about him. He also states that he has
not been tried, and is willing for the
matter to be Investigated. He will
los 10 votes here. Haynes, his oppo-
n At, has been confined to his bed sew
erai days, and is still unable to be out.

Interesting Facts and Figures from his

WASHINGTON, October 21.-Pay-
master General Rochester in his an
nual report says the total amount
available for the fiscal year was $15,-
180,161; total amount dlsbursed $13,-
25O,75O; balance $1,929,411. He COM
mends the present system of deposi-
tories for public funds. He regrets
the discontinuance of repositories at
Santa Fe and San Antonio, and rec
ommends their re- establishment.
He also recommends that an appro-
priation of 9l75,O00 be made for the
mileage of officers for the fiscal year
1886, and says there will undoubtedly
be a deficiency in the appropriation
for the present fiscal year. unless very
great restrictions are imposed in is
suing orders that contemplate pay
ment of mileage. 1t is again recon-
mended that the law forbidding pay
mont of mileage to army officers over
land grant roads should be repealed.
1t is urged that the paragraph in the
army regulations forbidding an officer
from issuing, hypothecating or trans
ferring his pay account, not actually
due at the time, should be enforced,
and no longer treated as a dead letter.

BLAINE'S TRAVELS.

GRAND RAPIDS. MICH, October IS
This days journey was a very long
one, 247 miles, and as there were a
great many stops each was necessari-
ly short. There were tWenty-nine
places at which Mr.. Blaine and Gen.
Fremont were called out but there
were really no speeches made. In
each case Mr.. Blaine merely congrat-
ulated the people upon the Ohio vic
tory and called upon them to initiate
it in Michigan and then Gen. Fremont
was introduced. At most of the
points where stops were made the
crowds were remarkably large, con-
sidering the population of the region
traversed. The news from Ohio and
Mr.. Blaine's coming, together, seemed
to have wrought the people up to a
high pitch of excitement and their
enthusiasm could not be exceeded. 1t
was dark when the train reached
Howard City and here torches and
bonfires began to appear. AT
about quarter past seven o'clock
the train arrived at Grand Rapids on
the east side of the river. Mr.. Blaine
lett the train and was escorted by the
republican clubs through the city to
GlIO h1l COL 11OuoG, WhClC 1lO 10 W pass
the night. Several thousand people
were in the streets in the neighbor-
hood of the hotel awaiting his arrival
and there were the usual demonstra-
tions as he entered the hotel.
He will leave in the morning for Sag
inaw, making of course a good many
stops on the way. Gen. Fremont will
accompany him during his entire tour
through Michigan.

A POLYGSMY TRIAL.

SALT LAKE, October 18.-The Claw
son polygamy trial was finished to day.
The verdict is not rendered yet. The
mother of the alleged second wife
sWore that though she visited her
daughter, who was living with Claw
son, she never inquired whether she
was married to him or not. The
father OF the accused testified he never
trlked with his son till after the in
dlctment. Other relatives swore SIM
llarly. President Taylor said there
could be no marriage in the endow-
ment house unless authorized. Prob
ably hundred others could not rec
ollect the names of them.
Geo. g.. Cannon swore he did not
know anything about the records of
the endowment house, and wanted to
remain Ignorant. He could not give
the name of any one who officlated in
the endowment house.
James E. Cain, son of Delegate
Cain, reaffirmed his former testimony
as to the admissions of the accused.
lie said Clawson chad talked to him
about his residence, and expressed a
doubt as to the accurateness OF the
language used. He said he had no
doubt he told Clawson he didn't give
d-n and would tell the truth.
The testimony for the defense was
mainly for impeaching the witnesses
for the prosecution after they were
through. The lawyers say the case is
far stronger than before the defence
offered any testimony.

THE LA CROSSE TRAGEDY.
The Murderer Lynched and the Verdict
Done by Unknown Persons,

The Murderer Lynched and the Verdict
Done by Unknown Persons.
LA CROSSE, Wis, October 17.-Busi-
ness is practically suspended here to-
day, the all-absorbing topic being the
tragedy of last nIght-the murder of
Frank Burton and the subsequent
lynching of his slayer, Nathaniel
Mitchell. It now appears that Mitch
ell had intended, if possible, to kill at
least two more citizens, one of whom
was Charles A. Mcdonald. It was
only question of whom he met first.
He was equipped with two self-cock-
ing Smith 81 Wesson revolvers, and
pulled them as fast as the ticking of a
watch. Ex-Chief of Police Hatch is
out of the city, but evidence now
points toward Mitchell as the man
who attempted to assassinate him
several weeks ago, and only left
him when he supposed he was dead.
The inquest has been ordered, and
large number of witnesses will be ex-
amined. There is no disposition to
prosecute any one, the general verdict
being that it was a righteous execu-
ton. The funeral of Mr.. Burton will
take place Sunday afternoon.
The coroners' jury examined twelve
witnesses on the Mitchell inquest,
whom were the sheriff, police
men and eye-witnesses of the murder
and the lynching. No one recognized
aup of the multitude who did the
Iynching. The verdict was, substan-
Tally, that the deceased was the man
who murdered Mr.. Burton, and that
ne came to his death by hanging, at
5he hands of parties unknown to the
urV
