A WOMAE's DETECTIVE SCHEME.
The Efforts of Miss Kennedy to Prove Her
Brother Innocentofthe Greensburg Murder.

1t turns out that the woman who called at the
Jail few days ago with John S. Scobey, an at
torney of Greensburg, to see Henry Tetterman,
the Attica postof6ce robber, is Miss Kennedy,
of Cincinnati, and q sister Of j. w. Kennedy,
who was sent to the penitentiary from
Decatur county few months ago
tor shooting q man named Baker
Baker and several others who were present at
pockets, of whom Kennedy was one They dis
covered the thieves and pursued them, when
Kennedy turned and shot Baker. The evidence
was very strong against Kennedy, and the YER
dict of the lower court was recently sustained by
the Supreme Court. Yesterday Miss Kennedy
again visited the Jail Mr. Long, deputy jaier,
had been told by one of the deputies
in the United States marshals Office that she
was detective, and admitted her for that rea-
son. She said she was convinced that Tetterman
was one of the pick-pockets pursued by Baker,
and that it was he who had killed Baker. She
wanted to get evidence of this and thus secure
her brothers release. She said Scoby had sent
her back ard she wanted to see Tetterman again
and get his photograph In the last-nalned mis-
sion she failed. She told Mr.. Long that
after their visit to the Jail few
days ago, Mr.. Scoby had said that
Tetterman was without doubt the man
they wanted. She intended to bring up several
witnesses from Greensburg to prove this. She
could only identify him herself by the shape OF
his land and by the back of his neck. 1t had
been q year and a half or two years since she
saw him. She seems determined to get letter
man into her brothers place in the penitentlary.

The troubles between the Northwestern roads
are apparently nearing settlement, and the
situation with the railroads generally seems to
be more favorable. The suddenness with which
the Iowa roads agreed to the restoration of
freight and passenger rates when the St Paul
was getting all ready to put on its fast trains,
was real surprise. There had been no bitter
ness whatever IN the contest and, really, no
particular reason why settlement should not
be speedily reached, but it seemed to be the gen
eral opinion that a trial Of endurance would be
continued much longer than it was, and that
some of the roads, at least, would test their
strength with more determination than they
have shown; nor did anyone suppose that the
switchmens strike, which had developed so much
bitterness, attained formidable proportions and
threatened to spread to other roads, would be
submitted to arbitration without long delay
New rumors of strikes are set afoat daily, but
they do not materilize.

New York Special.
The Panama canal enterprise is occupying
much attention here. by reason of the persistent
appeals of the American agents of De Lesseps
for capital to carry on the work. De Lesseps
himself is equally persistent in France. Sew
eral syndicates have been formed here and have
sent agents to the isthmus to report on the con-
dtion OF affairs there. j. A. Griffith a young
commercial man of Pittsburg, went there in
April to take look at the enterprise. He made
the following careful statement about it to me
today
'sThe Panama canal was commenced in the
year 1881. Since then there has been completed
eight miles at the average depth of twelve feet
So far it has cost $160 600 900, which amount has
been expended for machinery, warehouses and
dwellings for the men. The machinery was
never used and has gone to rust and ruin. The
length Of the canal will be forty nine miles. 1t
will cost to build entire nearly $400, 600 600. The
most difficult part Of the work is to be done. 1t
will never pay dividend to the original stock
holders, who are mostly French
1.-THE depth of the canal is to be % feet; width
at the top, 260 feet; width at the bottom, 100
feet The only work done now is by an Ameri-
can dredging company, who are paid by the
cubic meter. In case Of any stoppage by the
canal company the dredgers are to be paid 81 900
a day for their loss. The labor consists of
whites, natives and negroes The whites num-
Der about 300, and are the skilled laD0rerS. The
white engineers and overseers are paid from 800
to $175 per month; the negroes from 50 to ~. so
per day, but q larger percentage of negroes are
paid by piece-work and make better wages. In
summer the wet season begins the last Of May
and continues until November. During that
time it is impossible to work The only work
accomplished is in the dry season"

''The revolution Of last March, at which time
Aspinwall was burnt, drove most of the whites
from the country. That practically ended the
work. No white man escapes the fever Men
of robust health are suddenly taken off. The
yellow fever epidemic destroys 20 per cent of
white labor. There are many difficulties which
appear insurmountabe. The cut of Culebra.
the summit of the isthmus, is 300 feet deep. For
the canal it will require cut of three miles in
length. The greatest obstacle is the dumping
ground for the excavation of this cut The only
available dumping ground is the Rio Grande
river. The trestle for this particular work ia

the streams which appear dry in the dry season,

-outgeneraled the Strikers.


It will be remembered that ON the third day
of the strike of the switchmen at East St. Louis
the Vandalia sent out Of their yards train Of
twenty two loaded cars The tactics adopted by
N. K. Elliott, superintendent of transportation,
in getting this train out was "slick enough" as
the term goes, to be worthy of mention. The
striking switchmen had up to this time boarded
every train as soon as an attempt was made to
start it, and soon brought it to standstill. In
this case Superintendent Elliott ordered the
trainmen to quietly, as they made up the train,
detach the brake-chain which connected the
brake-rods with the brakes, so that the brakes
would be imperative, except on the caboose.
which was locked, so that the strikers could not
getinside to work the brake. When the train
was made up one of the Vandalia's heavy freight
engines was attached, and started out OF the
yards at lively speed. AS before, the striking
switchmen jumped onto the train, ran from one
car to another, and attempted to set the
brakes but the speed of the train did not
slacken, and before they could really take in the
situation the train was moving at speed Of
ers recklessly jumped off, others staid on, and
were carried to the first water-station, and as
soon as the train slowed up jumped off and
started at lively pace for the country, for fear
OF arrest The strikers we're so indignant and ok
aspsrated that they.hnd been outgeneraled, they
swore out a warrant to arrest the engineer who

law allowed. On learning the fact, N. X. Elliott,
superintendent of transportation, transferred
running. OF course the strikers, harmless fell
lows, put out SPIES and prepared to throw
switches IL another attempt OF that character
to move train was made

Price of Steel Rails to Advance.

Eastern papers state that further advance
in steel rails is probable before many days. 1t
is believed that rails will reach $38 for small
lots. The prices are still quoted firm for heavy
sections at $50 and $36 so. cash at the MILL An
authority on steel rails has this to say Of the
condition Of trade:
1.-THE rail-makers have before them quite a
number of inquiries for steel rails for projected
roads, mostly in the West. Railroad builders
who must have rails between now and Novem-
Der will. no doubt, be obliged to pay better
prices for them than are being asked just now
With all the advance that has taken place, man
ufacturers will not come out much ahead One
rail-making establishment in this State booked
orders for between $4,000 and 10000 tons at
prices ranging from $27 so to $50. Another took
several large orders at $780, all Of them loaded
up last fall with orders at low prices, many Of
which have been filed, but some are still on
hand. Since then prices of labor and material
have advanced, and the makers are naturally
anxious to obtain their share Of profit There
are fair presumptions for the statement that
building will be actively prosecuted during all
of this year and most of next year."
