THE ROCK ISLANDS SOUTH
WESTERN PROJECTS.

In reporting favorably the bill to
grant right Of way to the Chicago,
Nebraska and Kansas railroad through
the Indian Territory, the house COM
mittee says:
The railroad to which the right of way is
sought 10 be granted by this bill, was duly
| incorporated by the state of Kansas on the
18th of March, 1886, for the purpose of ex-
tending the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
cifc railway through Kansas and through
| the Indian Territory. The responsibility
and standing of the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific railway is well known, and
hence any project supported by it may be
regarded as worthy of credit, financially and
otherwise. Your committee is satisfied that
this well-known railway is interested in and
is asking for the right of way through
the Territory set forth in the bill
under consideration. 1t is proposed to build
two lines of road extending south from the
! state Of Kansas, one to enter the territory at
or near the city of Hunbewell, in Sumner
county, Kan, extending thence in south
erly direction through the Indian territory
by the most practicable route to Fort
Washita in the Chickasaw country, and
from thence south in the direction of GAL
weston. Tex; another line leaving the state of
Kansas at or near the 10lst meridian, and
from thence by the most practicable route
in the southwesterly course in the direction
of FL Paso, n. NJ. Your committee have
formulated q bill which is in harmony with
the acts granting right Of way to railroads
through the Indian territory, passed BY the
Forty-eighth congress, and as the policy of
granting this right of way to railroads has
been settled, it is only deemed necessary to
inquire into the financial standing of the
corporation seeking such privilege, and, if
satisfied, to report favorably upon such ap-
plication.
Mr.. Peters, of Kansas, who intro
duced the original bill, ard Mr.. Hale,
of Missouri, who will have charge of
the reported bill. are both confident
that the measure will pass. Thus far
the matter has been pushed with a
degree of vigor which shows the Rock
Island people are DESTROYS of obtaining
the privileges of building through the
territory at the earliest possible date.

1t does not always result pleasantly to
look into the individuality Of those who
are doing something in church That was
what thought at St. Pauls after l bad
foolishly sought place from which could
discover who was in the quartette Of sing
ers. Trinity keeps a large corps Of vocal
lists to sing in the nine houses Of worship
which the parish maintains in different
sections OF the city, and assignments Of
voices are made to suit the varying ne
Guirements. On this occasion the result
was unsteady excellent. The clear sweet
ness OF the soprano. the soft melody Of the
tenor, the strength of the alto, and the
deep rumble of the bass were remarkably
well balanced and blended When saw
from distance that a shapely young man
and girl were the central pair. said to
myself how fitting It was that they should
emit tenor and soprano sounds, while the
ungentle alto and the gutterd bass were
respectively voiced by a middle-aged, ugly
woman and a still less presentable fat man.
But on close observation l discovered
that things were deceptively reversed
Contrary TO usage the tenor and the so
prano were at the ends of the row, and
they were none other than the plain
matron and the soggy man. while the alto,
with tone like yiraSo, was the dainty
girl, and the bass roar Of hoarse bandit
came from as neat dandy as could be
imagined Now. an artistic point was
gained by placing the quartefte in that IN

BAD WORK.

Band of Young Mississippians Who Pro-
pose that Negroes Shall Not Work in
Newton County-The Law Invoked.
JACKSON. Miss, July pa deplora-
BILE state of affairs exists near Union,
Newton County, about seventy miles
east of here. A band of young men styl-
ing themselves REGULATORS" have is
sued decree that no negro shall work
on the farms in that vicinity.
The band contains about fifteen men,
bers, and they have killed three negroes
and wounded several others. A perfect
state of terror prevails in the community
and the entire county is greatly excited
over the matter.
The best people in the community, and
in fact every one except members of this
band, condemn the atrociouS and bloody
actions in the most pronounced terms,
and are determined that every member Of
it shall be arrested and made to answer
for his crimes.
Mr.. J. NJ. Kelly was here yesterday to
see the Governor, and was told to arrest
every one of the young outlaws at all
hazards. About twenty citizens, headed
by officers armed with proper warrants,
are now after the young desperadoeS, and
it is believed will soon effect their capt
ure. =as
1t seems when the attempt was first
started to "reguate'' the negroes that
it was more in fun than anything else,
but after tasting blood they have under
taken in earnest to execute their design.
Their actions can hardly be accounted
for, and is a surprise to every one.

HORRIBLE BRUTALITY.

An Almost Incredible Story of Cruelty and
Murder Perpetrated by the Captain and
Mates of an American Bark.
NEW BEDFORD, Conn.,, July 2l.-A
terrible story of cruelty, murder and
mutiny on board the bark Petrol of this
port, comes from Auckland, where the
captain and others are under arrest. The
crew say that from the outset of the voy
age they did not get sufficient food
and were subjected to all kinds
of cruelties. The cooper was
repeatedly beaten and kicked by
the captain and mate. One of the mates
amused himself by pulling out handful
of the mans whiskers. On more than
one occasion the cooper was stripped by
order OF the mate and sailors were COM
PEELED to rub the skin off with bricks
and sand. One of the poor fellows
legs was swollen till it was fully
eighteen inches in diameter. When
he finally died there was scarcely a
sound spot on his body. All the
sailors were frequently kicked and beaten
by the captain and officers. One man
was pulled about the deck with a rope
around his neck. A sailor named Lake
was forced into the rigging when too
sick to stand, and fell to the deck. He
has been paralyzed ever since. The cap
tain is now in Jail at Auckland, on a
charge of murder. His defense is gen.
eral denial, and a charge that some of the
men conspired with the third mate to
mutiny.

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Captain John
Grant, of New Orleans, aged ninety, was
apparently the most gratifed person at
the reception of the President this morn
ing for he had thereby shaken hands with
every President of the United States
commencing with Washington. D uring
Jackson's administration the Captain
spent several weeks as a guest at the
White House, and he informed
the President to-day that he had
not swerved a step from the line of
Jacksonian Democracy.
II trust you may live many years yet,
Mr.. President" said the old gentleman,
"and that your last days may be your
best days"
eff am as we'll preserved at your age
as you are" replied the President, 81
shall esteem myself very fortunate"
"You may not have such a record as
have, however-seventy-fi grand chill
dren living out of seventy-eight born"
was the rejoinder, and the old gentle.
man left the Presidents house in 4 very
happy frame of mind.

ONLY A CRANK,

Who Thought He Had Some Claim to tho
Consideration of the President-The Po-
lice Took Care of Him just the Same, for
Safety's Sake.
Albany. N. Y, July 23.-While the
President was receiving the public in the
Senate chamber yesterday, man with
swarthy face, short black side whiskers
and black moustache and shabby
dressed in a well-worn light suit OF
clothes, was noticed lowering about the
President Finally he stealthily crept up
behind him. The police had been watch
ing his movements, and at this luncture
he was arrested and taken out OF the
room.
When the attention of the President
and those who accompanied MIN was
drawn to the man they remembered That
he had been lowering around the Presi-
dent all the afternoon.
The man protested against being arrest
ed, but was led off to the Second precinct
station house. There he was searched,
but no papers were found on him. In
his pockets were six dollars in bills ana
some small change. He said his name
was Mather Schiller; that he was twenty
eight years old, and when at home,
which was not often, he lived in Kings
ton, N. Y He was a peddler by occupa-
ton he said, and had been selling medals,
bananas and other articles in Albany
during the bl-centennial exercises.
When asked why he had followed the
President about, he said that when Cleve-
land was candidate for President he
introduced his name in various towns and
cities through the State and spoke to the
people for him. He thought he deserved
political position. He was poor man
and wanted to better himself, and he
thought if the President knew what he
had done for him he would give him a
position. He was only watching for an
opportunity to speak to him, he said.
The police decided to lock the man up
until the President was out of Albany.

IDLE TALK.

Ex-senator Mcdonald Characterizes the
Recent Talk of Cabinet Changes as Hav-
ing No Foundation.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 23.-Ex-Senator
Joseph f. Mcdonald, of Indiana, arrived
at the Palmer House last evening. In
regard to the rumored Cabinet changes,
he said:
'There is no foundation for the various
reports in regard to my being offered
position in the Cabinet so far as am
aware. don't think that President
Cleveland is contemplating any changes.
There is no probability of Secretary Man.
ming resigning, SO long as there is any
hopes of his recovery. He is a
young man, and is strong and active, and
everything is in his favor. He is the Presi-
dents right-hand man in the Cabinet,
and is close and wise in counsel. The
report that am to be given place in
the Cabinet; that Attorney General Gar
land was to be displaced, and that Morri-
son is to succeed Manning, is all talk and
without foundation"
In regard to the Presidents silver doc
trine, Mr.. Mcdonald said he could hardly
define it, but he thought that silver
should be utilized as a coin medium;
that it was bountiful product in this
country and convenient for a monetary
medium.

WOMAN'S VENGEANCE.

How Mrs. Sullivan, of Troy. n. Y, Got
Even with a Beautiful Dayton Blonde
Who Had Lured Her Husband Into For
hidden Paths-Coal Tar and Creosote as q
Cosmetic.
Troy, o., July 21.-Mrs. Sullivan, the
wife of Theodore Sullivan, prominent
Miami County lawyer and politician, sus-
pecting her husband of infidelity, hired
detectives to watch him. She learned
where he was, at the house of Ida Ham,
ilton, a young and beautiful blonde, of
Dayton, and proceeded with her nineteen
year-old son and two of his friends, to
the house. She gained entrance to the
second story by means of ladder, at the
rear of the building. Sullivan's son
knocked on the bedroom door and said
he had note for Miss Hamilton.
She replied that she did not receive
messages at that time of night.
Mrs. Sullivan and party broke in the
door and found Sullivan in bed and Miss
Hamilton standing in the middle OF the
room Mrs. Sullivan at once seized the
woman, and while the son and his friends
kept the guilty pair quiet with drawn re-
volvers. Mrs. Sullivan turned bucket
full of mixed tar and creosote over Miss
Hamiton's head and shoulders, COM
pletely covering her person with the mess.
Mr.. Sullivan then hastily dressed and
left to escape the imprecations of the
party, and the wife and son soon departed
also. Physicians were summoned by Miss
Hamilton at once, but when the tar
cooled it could not be cleaned from her
once beautiful head of hair, and her hair
was therefore shaved off close to the
scalp. In this plight, and almost blinded
besides, she returned to her home in Day
ton. This morning she is pitable sight,
and says she is done with Troy forever.
She will make an appeal to the Miami
Court courts for redress. Public sympa-
thy is outspoken and unanimous for Mrs.
Sullivan. who will at once institute pro-
ceedings for divorce.
