PROBABLE MURDER NEAR
ROCKVILLE.

The Body of Andrew Thomas, COlOred,
who Has Been Missing Since March
%, Found i'm Clump of Bushes.
Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
ROCKVILLE Md, May 6.-Much excitement
prevails here over the finding Of the body of
Andrew Thomas, colOred, who has been miss
ing since the 2Sth of March, Thomas, when
last seen, was at Travilla, near Jamestown, on
the night mentioned, in company with the two
jackson brothers, colored, on his way to
Seneca to get work. 1t was rumored
that difficulty had occurred that night
between the three. Thomas non-appearance
afterwards aroused suspicion, and wide search
was made, but to no effect The county COM
missioners offered reward of 500 for the APP
prehension and conviction of the supposed
murderer. Last night a dog of Adam Robin
son, colored, brought to his house finger of
cOlOred man. Search was made early this
morning and the body of Thomas was found
on the ground in clump of bushes in a decom-
posed state, on the place of Robert
Stevens, in what is known as the Big Pines
and not far from Travilla. The only mark of
violence so far noticed was the disappearance of
his two front teeth. A jury of inquest has been
summoned, and will, with a number of cit-
zens, proceed to the spot where the body still
remains.

SIR PETER LUMsDEN's RETURN.

Gladstone Attack ed by the Conserve
tives On the Ground that it Will be
Regarded as Another Concession to
Russia-The Grimes Act for Ireland.
Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
LONDON, May 6.-There is good authority for
stating that the return of Sir Peter Lumsden,
the Afghan boundary commissioner, which the
conservatives persist in regarding as recall. is
the result of his resignation. This is the cause
of the determined attack on the government,
as it is declared that on the continent and in
India the return Of Lumsden will be considered
a concession to Russia. Thus it is among the
possibilities that party denunciation may re-
open the entire question. Anxiety is certainly
beginning to be felt because of the continued
ambiguity of the ministerial statements con-
corning the proposed arbitration of the differ
ences between England and Russia. Much in
fuential opinion on the continent asserts that
there is merely truce and that peace is not yet
assured.
A RENEWAL OF THE GRIMES ACT IMPROBABLE.
1t is said on good authority that there is in
fuential opposition in the cabinet to renewal
of the crimes act in Ireland. This WILL it is
thought, result in merely strengthening the
peace preservation act. Thus the chief subject
OfcOntroversy expected to engage the attention
of parliament being disposed of, it is under
stood the session will reach an early close in
June. Both parties will then begin the struggle
for the general election.

A new military post on the souther

A new military post on the southern
border of the state is proposed at New
Kiowa. Congressman Peters says:
During the recent Indian scare I
wrote to the Secretary Of War, calling
his attention to the remote location of
Fort Reno, and suggesting that mill
tary post be established on the southern
border of the State of Kansas. My
communication was referred to the Gen
eral in command of this department.
who replied that there were not sufi-
cient troops to maintain another post
/ think, however, that letter will result
in the abandonment Of Fort Reno and
the establishment of a permanent post
in Southern Kansas. AS you are no
doubt aware, the Indians are between
the settlements and the fort, and near
err the former 1t is an easy matter
for them to slip off their reservation,
make raid on the settlements, and re-
turn to their homes before the officers
at the post have even an intimation Of
an outbreak. Senator Plumb and my
self expect to make tour of the south
ern tier of counties for the purpose of
better advising ourselves regarding the
ACCESSIBILITY of establishing such post
as proposed. We shall also do some
thing tending to the locating of post
Offices and mail routes in that country
to accommodate the rapidly increasing
population.

A Missing B0y.

For the love of adventure and TO-
nance many good boy has left home,
little thinking of the trouble and anx-
iety he has caused parents. Jacob Po-
land, boy Is years of age, left home
in kingman, Kas., in July, 1854, and
nothing has been known of the boy s
whereabouts. Lawrence Poland, the
father Of the boy, called at our office
last week hoping to gain some inform
alton of his lost son. The boy had a
comfortable home and good and kind
parents, and there was no reason for
absenting himself, unless a childish
aversion to going to school being the
cause. The father has made diligent
search for the absent son, and contin-
ues to make inquiries. The mother is
in constant anguish, and whether dead
or alive, knowledge of the boy would
relieve distress. Some indefinite in
formation was given concerning the boy
in this city, it being supposed that he
had engaged to herd cattle for S. C.
Tyler, near Zulu, Texas. The boy is
described as having black HAIR, brown
eyes; he is large and tall for his age,
Is years, and is square build; talks
English and French. Any information
will be gratefully received by Laurence
Poland, Kingman, kas.

Neutral City is new town, located
in the Neutral Strip. The Englewood
Chief says the location is about 81 miles
southwest of Englewood, on The Beaver,
beautiful running stream, skirted with
timber, Astounding in fish, with suffi-
cient body of water and current to fur
nish unlimited water power for mills
and manufacturing enterprises that
the country will demand when devel-
oped.
The Beaver has broad rich valley
capable of producing the cereals in great
quantities. 1t is but waiting for the
magical touch of the husbandman in
response to which, like the great State
Of Kansas it will bud and blossom as

Neutrality is located about 1G miles
south of the Kansas state line and about
an equal distance from the west line of
the Indian Territory, which locates it
almost in the exact center of what will
be the first county when it is opened
and organized, and which will make it

The Train Robbers.

On September %, 1883, three men
attempted to rob an express car on the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad
near Coolidge, Kas. John Hilton, the
engineer, was killed, and Geo. Fade,
fireman, was wounded. Some weeks
ago A. B. Waller, one of the robbers,
was arrested in Tennessee and brought
to this city. Latterly, one of the men
engaged in the conspiracy, made con-
fession, and the third robber was appre-
hended. The two latter named were
taken to Garden City, last Friday, but
waived an examination before Judge
Strang, who was present to hear the
case. The prisoners were returned to
the jail at Topeka, for safe keeping, un-
til their trial is had. NJ. w. Sutton, of
the city, is engaged in the prosecution,
and Col. Thos. S. Jones is on the de-
Tense.
The Kansas City Journal of the 2Sth,
October, says of the manner in which
the clue was obtained. The railroad
company as we'll as the State authori-
ties tried every method possible to OBJ
tain clue as to the identity of the
robbers, but failed. Had the public at
that time been informed that minister
of the gospel could have unraveled the
mystery and produced evidence and
witnesses to substantiate his word, the
assertion would have been ridiculed,
but nevertheless such is the case.
At the November term, 1884, of the
Jackson county criminal court, a young
man named Henry Kellen was convict
ed of horse stealing, and sentenced to
the penitentiary for four years. Rev.
DR.. Gierlow, of Grace church, is chap
lain Of the Missouri penitentiary. To
him Kellen recently made full and
complete confession to the effect that
he, A. B. Waller and Fred Bunk we're
the parties who attempted to rob the
train at Coolidge, Kas. His statement
was made in writing, and detailed the
organization and movements of the gang
full from their organization down. This
statement DR.. Gierlow sent to the Kan
sas authorities, and they we're fully sat-
isfed it was correct. The Governor of
Kansas then made request of Gov.
Marmaduke, setting forth the above
facts and asking that Kellen be pardon
ed from the penitentiary in order that
his testimony might be used in convict
ing the other two parties, both of whom
are under arrest. Gov. Marmaduke
accordingly granted the pardon. I'm
mediately after Kellen's release from
the penitentiary, he was arrested by
Constable Joseph Fromme, of Jefferson
City, on warrant from Gov. Marina
duke, and lodged in jail until the arriv-
al Of the midnight train, when he was
taken in charge of by William Higgins,
agent for the State Of Kansas, who left
with his prisoner for the scene of his
crime.
