PATHETIC i;ToRf OF A BOY WHO
SUFFERED UNJuSTLY.
no Hides His Disgrace from His Mother
"A Suggested Romance Cody Men
Claiming Glory-Married md
Corpse in o Day.

DEs MONIES, Iowa, June l5-There Is q
pathetic side to the story of young William
Larrigan, who was released from the pepi-
tentiary at Fort Madison Friday morning
and brought to this city. About fifteen
months ago the young man was in the en-
ploy Of farmer in this vicinity,
and had charge Of somo cattle which
he disposed of in a way that cast
suspicion ON his honesty and made
him guilty Of technical offense He was
arrested, tried by the court without jury,
found guilty, and sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for three years. Inundated by his
disgrace the young man resolved that his
widowed mother should not hear of his
conviction and imprisonment. His letters
to her she lived in a distant city, were
mailed to her by friends outside the prison,
and the good soul is today ig-
norant of the imprisonment
Of the son, who will soon return to her. Two
cases involving the principles of conviction
without jury were taken up to the su
preme court, which has just ruled that his
conviction was Illegal Thursday night
Sheriff Painter went to Fort Madison, and
Friday evening he returned with the pris
oner. The case will be brought up for a
new trial, but the state will not prosecute,
and Larrigan will be set free.
One of the most touching Incidents of the
case remains to be told. Mr.. D. o. Finch,
who was employed after Larrigan'S mpris-
onment to take the case up to the supreme
court, and who has successfully brought it
to an issue, informs US that he was en-.
ployed by q New Orleans wholesale
merchant to look into the case, and
that all his fees were paid by this
gentleman who is an old friend of the Lar
rigan family. It requires little strength Of
the Imagination to surnise that the New
Orleans gentleman years ago was the lover
Of the prisoners mother, the latter bloom.

erous step from regard for his sweetheart of

AS small party were nearing the cemetery,

supposed to be engines assumed the shape OF
fiery balls, throwing sparks of fire in every

force over the cemetery, burst with a loud
noise and flew into o thousand atoms, the

Tho $500, 900 Mail Subsidy Not to
Be Used-Capital Items.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 15.-With the
approval of the president the postmaster
general has decided not to advertise for bids
to enter into contracts for the transporta-
tion Of foreign mails upon the mileage
basis, under the authority conferred by
the act of congress of March 3, 1885.
The subject has been under considera-
tion by the cabinet for som, time, and the
conclusion above noted was reached after
the presentation by the postmaster general
of an exhaustive argument covering the
whole matter.
Tho postmaster general holds that the
present rate OF compensation is just one,
and pays the carriers more than other
freight Of a like character; that the money
appropriated is not intended as a subsidy
because to subsidize at the rate allowed in
the act would take over 81 ,0O0, 900, whereas
only $4Oo, 900 is appropriated. He thinks
the vessels will continue to carry at the
present rate, and, if they should refuse,
could be compelled to do SO, as common car
riers receiving just compensation. He is in
clined to the opinion that the money appro-
priated should be returned to the treasury.

commission was as sort of q bureau to
gather statistics and act as an advisory and
supervisory boly, co operating with the

always complaining should remember the

planned of to-day required remedial legisla.
tion The main trunk lines running north
west and southwest from Chicago had re.
duced their rates in ten years 20 to rs per
cent, and the Northwestern had reduced its
rates 35hS per cent, and this not on account
of any legislation or the regulation of rates
by the commissioners. These rates were
lower than the schedule fixed by the com.

indicating thAs plaster ia of little use on

filed with soil Of medium fertility, more
sandy In character, and which had not
been MANFRED. Red oloverseed was
planted In these pots, and after the plants
alike were up, some we're treated with
plaster and others not. As soon as the
plants were in the second leaf, the
plsstered ones had taken the lead, and
for several weeks were about double the
size Of those not plastered, or so long as
the regular watering and growth
continued. The watering was then
suspended, until the soil had apparently
become quite dry, and the plants had
withered and fallen, the upholstered
plants being the most withered. Both
were then opiJusly watered. In 9 short
time the plsstered plants were restored,
assumed their erect position and appeared
"a vigorous as ever. But the upholstered
ones presented no appearance Of life, and
were entirely dead. The experiment
indicated the value of plaster on common
soils, and especially those Of rather light
character, in promoting yigor Of growth
and lessening the effects Of severe
drought.
