Georgia Mr. Stephens started to Augusta
with some wagons. He was a small boy

pistol under his head to have it handy in
case robbers should appear. The next

THE GREAT ROBBERY.
STRONG TESTIMONY AGAINST THE INDICT-
ED MESSENGER
In the Robbery Of the San Francisco EIprssS-What
a Wabash Engineer Saw in the Express Car
Another Letter From the Mysterious
"Jim Cummings"

ST. LOUIS, November 10.-Among the
testimony presented to the Grand Jury
which found an indictment for grand lar
ceny and for receiving stolen property,
against David r. Fotheringham, the
Adams Express messenger whose car was
robbed some two weeks ago on the st.
Louis & San Francisco road, was that of
James Hefferman, Wabash engineer, and
that Of Thomas Dwyer, an employe of the
express company and Fotheringham's
helper. Hefferman testified as follows:
II was in the Union Depot on the even
ing Of October 35th, oiling my engine. My
time to start was S:25 p. m, but just as
was about TO get away noticed that the
Frisco train was across the main track
Of course l could not move until the
Frisco got out of my way. The express
car was almost directly opposite my cab
window and l noticed that the door of the
car was standing open. The messenger
and his helper was inside, busy with their
duties. 1t was nearly time for the Frisco
train to start, and Dwyer swung himself
off the car and went away. A minute or
two later, q man came along with
valise in his hand and stopped
directly under the electric light
and within few feet of my engine. He
answered FOtheringham's description of
the robber as far as remember, except
that he was couple of inches or 80
shorter. He wore his hat well forward
over his face, and could not make out
his features very clearly. He asked me
which was the Frisco train, and pointed
it out to him. 1t was just moving away,
and he ran alongside of it until he
reached the express car, the door Of which
was still standing open, "a very unusual
thing, by the way,) threw his valise in
side, reached up his hand and was pulled
up through the door into the car. He
could not have jumped in without assis-
tance especially with the train in motion,
and | believe Fotheringham helped him.
Thomas Dwyer'S testimony cOrrObOra-
ted the engineers story and it was upon
the facts presented by them, it is believed,
that the indictments were found. Jim
Cummings" who, rockingham says,
committed the robbery, is carrying on
rather yOluminous correspondence for
one in his position, He first wrote to
Frank James, the ex-bandit, then to the
editor of newspaper and now to Froth-
ingham's mother, enclosing in the letter
500, which, he suggests, may be ofuse in
clearing her son of the suspicion now
resting upon him. All of these letters are
in the hands of the detectives.

Just completed shows a majority Of 373 in

TO DOWN BUCKET SHOPS.
Market Reports From The Chicago Boar
OF Trade to be Discontinued.

Market Reports From The Chicago Board
OF Trade to be Discontinued.
CHICAGO, November 10.-A new plan to
suppress bucket shops and restore specu-
lative trading to former channels is being
agitated by u number of members of the
Board of Trade. The idea is to abolish the
market reporting department of the Board,
at least temporarily. Without
official quotations received over
tickers it is claimed bucket shops
cannot secure enough patronage to pay office
expenses. The claim is also made that by
cutting off official quotations the outside
agent who sends his orders to the large
city bucket shops will be obliged to recon-
meet himself with regular brokers. A pc
tition asking the directors of the Board of
Trade to submit for ballot a
proposition repeating the lules providing
for the maintenance of market depart
ment was signed by over seventy-ive
members in a very short time yesterday.
There was no attempt to make a canvass
of the Board. The petition has now been
referred by the directors to the committee
on market quotations. By the proposed
plan the ticker service here would be dis
pensed with altogether in grain and pro-
vision speculation, and the present system
of market reports from this city discOn-
tinued

MILwAUKEE, Wis, November 10.-A
special from Portage, Wis, says: The cor
oner's jury at Rio concluded their investi-
CATION of the recent disaster on the St.
Paul Road, at 2:2s yesterday afternoon,
and reached a verdict at 6:45. The fol-
lowing isa verbatim copy Of their finding:
"An inquisition taken at the town Of
Otsego, in the county of Columbia, and
State of Wisconsin, beginning on the 2sth
day of October, 1886, and concluding on
the 9th day ofNovember, 1886, before K.
NJ. Allen, Coroner of said county, upon the
view of the bodies of Sarah c. Winters,
Frank Gongon, Orisme Dubue, Emil Volt
ersdorf, Louis Brinker, two nuns, names
unknown to us, and other persons, the
number of whom and their names are un-
known, there, dead, by the jurors whose
names are hereunto subscribed, who, being
duly sworn to enquire on behalf fofthis State
into what manner and by what means the
said persons came to their deaths, upon
their oaths do say that said persons came
to their death by reason of the limited
train of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul Railroad going west, at the west
switch OF the south side track, at East kIo,
in said town of Otsego, at about 1890 a.
M, the said switch being open and caus-
ing the engine, mail, baggage, day coach
and part of one sleeper to leave the track.
We find that the above named and un-
known persons came to their deaths by
being crushed and burned to death in the
day coach ofsaid train and we find that
the said switch was left open by the negli-
gence of C. II. Wells, an en-
ploye of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railroad Com
pany.
The finding is signed by John Buchan-
an, foreman, John Urpuhart, Milo Phelps,
Edwin Fisk, C. Nj. Morris, David Robert
son and S. NJ. Allen, Coroner.
Wells has been arrested at the instance
of the Coroner and was taken before q

RIPE FOR RUPTURE.
The Canadian Pacific Dangerous Menace
to American Lines.

to American Lines.
CHICAGO, November 10.-The Times to-
day says: ''The plans and schemes Of the
Canadian Pacific Railway, which Just at
present time seems to be reaching out in
all directions on American soil and striving
for American business, contribute an ele-
ment to the pool situation that is at least
source Of comment and speculation. The
latest is that in the near future the Cana
dian line is to become an active compet-
itOr for central traffic and trunk line pas
senger and freight traffic. As noted some
weeks ago, the Canadian Pacific is
building a new line or extension OF the
Credit Valley road from Woodstock to
Detroit, where operations westward will
end for the present But the Canadian
Pacific has it is asserted, concluded track
age contracts with the Wabash and Balti-
more and Ohio, which give it running
rights from Detroit to Chicago. 1t is
claimed. that this is not all. For two
yeaIs the Canadian Pacific has had engi-
neers in the field making out line from
Woodstock to Niagara Falls, and it is
positively stated that this extension is to
be built at once, or that work will begin
upon it early in the spring.
up to the present the Michigan Central
and Canadian Pacific have exchanged busi-
ness at St Thomas, but the new arrange
ment, even if the Woodstock and Niagara
Falls branch is built, will work to dis
solve that connection. The Canadian Pa
citic has demanded ofthe Michigan Central
on several occasions that rates via Mont
real to Boston and New England points be
equalized with those via New York Cen
trail and Boston and Albany, which, OF
course, has been refused, as the Michigan
Central could hardly afford to discriminate
against, or rather put the Canadian Pacific
on an equality with its natural connection,
the Boston and Albany.
THE Canadian Pacific is ripe for . rup-
ture, and what with its Woodstock and
Detroit branch, and its contracts with the
b. K o. and the Wabash, il looks rs if il
would soon be in position to sadly de-
moralize Chicago traffic. There is also an
added whisper that when it builds to Ma
cara Falls it will find at Buffalo natural
and ready ally in the Iehigh Valley road,
which, if true, would give it line
through. to New York outside of the pools,
and unless one or both of the roads were
brought in those associations would find
combination impossible. With the inter
est on its bonds guaranteed by the Cana
dian Government, are in position to haul
freight at cost, in following out its iavorte
theory that the present mission is to
demonstrate its capacity TO secure bust
ness, the Canadian Pacific is becoming a
dangerous menace To American lines"

CONDITION OF CROPS.
Monthly Report of the Department of
Agriculture.

Monthly Report of the Department Of
Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, November 10.-The fol-
lowing crop report was issued by the De
partment of Agriculture to-day. The
cotton returns of November attest the
rapid progress of picking, the unusual
cleanneSs of fibre, and the shOrtneSs of the
late crop on light uplands and districts
most affected by drought. Light frOsts,
sufficient TO arrest growth, have occurred
in the northern districts and to
the center of the cotton belt. In
Arkansas and Tennessee q large yield
is assured, and in Texas the yield is
higher than in the census year, when
the product was thirty-seyen hundredths
of bale per acre, and the October con-
dition sixty-five. On the Atlantic coast
the effect of the excessive heavy rains
and long continued drought Of the latter
season, is apparent in reduced production.
The following percentages OF the several
States indicating the probable product are
based on full crop unimpaired by inlur-
les or losses from any cause, and the gener-
al average is two or three points lower
than the result of the OctOber's returns
Virginia, -; North Carolina "a South
Carolina, -; Georgia, 76; Florida, 81;
Alabama, 75; Mississippi, II; Louisiana,
IS; Texas, Il; Arkansas, Sc; TennesSe, -.
The yield of corn, according to the re-
vised returns of yield, is p bushels per
acre, making product, upon the adjust
ment of acreage, of ! Cos, 600, 900 bushels.
This accords well with recent returns of
condition, and will not be materially
changed in the final review Of the work of
the year. The yield of the great corn
surplus States is variable-lOwest, of
course, in the region of drought-OhiO,
- 3; Indiana, 32.2; Illinois, 24.7; Iowa,
24.7; Missouri, 222; Kansas, 2l.3; Ne
braska, 27.5. New York and the Eastern
States exceed 30 bushels, Pennsylvania
nearly rs much, and the Southern States
generally reduced rate of yield.
The potato product is nearly the same
as last year with higher yield in the East
and lower in the West. The average is 73
bushels per acre, giving product of lG3,-
OOO, 900 bushels. The buckwheat crop
makes yield of about 13 bushels per acre
promising product exceeding 1000, 600
bushels.
The apparent production of tobacco is at
a rate slightly exceeding an average of 700
pounds per acre, or about 4S5,OOO,OOO
pounds, which is equal to the average re-
quiremeuts of consumption and exporta-
ton. The average rate Of yield for the
hay crop is close to one and two tenths tons
per acre, and the apparent product about
45, ,OO0, 900 tons.
