NEWS FROM ILLINOIS.

Below we reproduce few extracts from
a letter received by Mr. ". c. McCune, from
friend in Chicago. who has been on the
wing and appears to be well posted. The
letter begins
II saw in the EAGLE telegram from En-
poria il regard to the Santa Fe having made
satisfactory arrangements with the Rock
Island and other roads so that there will be
no lines built from st. Joseph or Kansas City
in the near future. Such talk is all bosh.
l enclose you a short article clipped from the
Chicago Herald (the clipping referred to
was a dispatch from Joliet to the Herald,
saying there vas great rejoicing in that city
or account OF the sale of the Chicago, St.
Louis and Western to the Santa Fe.' ''Imet
a c., b. & Oman last evening who said the
Santa Fe had purchased the road mentioned
in the clipping. He said also that the c., g..

City, shortening their line about
fifty miles | asked him when their
road would reach Wichita. He replied that
he would say this "The G. B. & q. viii not
be behind the rest if the people out there
treat us right" Continuing the author of
the letter says: Il happened into real
estate Office in Kansas City the other day
and they told me that they had inquiries for
Wichita property every day. l gathered
from them that Kansas city real estate men
regard i. as good scheme to be agents for
Wichita property. The wind has chance
to whistle through ones whishers in that
city I find more people than did last sum
mer talking of Wichita and a great many
are making arrangement to make the
magic city visit About February l, is
their time set. They are counting ROW how

date. Judging by the list Of transfers in

AFTERNOON SESSION

CURIOUS IRON JEwELRY.-But few who
have admired the beautifully-finished steel
ornaments-buttons, bracelets, brooches,
clasps, etc.-sometimes worn by ladies.
have taken the trouble to ascertain that
they seldom consist of other than cast iron,
or to consider what very superior class of
metal must be employed in their manu-
facture; yet, after a moments thought,
one knows not which most to admire, the
elegance of the finished work, the intricacy
of the pattern and the consequent skill of
the molder or the fine quality of the metal
that may be induced to assume such elab-
crate and intricate forms Some of the
work almost rivaling Italian filigree in
when exposed 10 the action of the carbonic
acid of a crowded, ill-ventilated room. The
luster has not the trying yellow or orange
of gold, nor the glaring white of silver. but
a clear, blush, almost transparent sheen
from which the light is reflected as from
the diamond. And when cut into facets
as are some of the ornamental buttons for
ladies dresses, they almost rival the sparkle
of the brilliant. The polishing of the
facets is performed upon an ordinary buff
wheel dressed with crocus. Berlin iron is
also largely employed in casting statuettes,
electro-plated or lacquered to resemble
broDzes, for which they are frequently
sold, and to which they are nowise infe-
rior, except in the intrinsic value of the
material, as the popularity of the iron
used is its capacity for easy flowing when
in fused state. and thus perfectly filling
the most minute portions of the mold.

New York, January 25th.-Mail advices
from Panama, under date of January 18th,
give the following: Five Chileans, who
were employed in the mines at Mocha,
were recently sent in the custody of guard
of thirteen Indians to the Judge of the
Tarapaca sub-delegation, to be tried for
robbery. The wife of one of the prisoners
accompanied her husband, ard she had
with her their son, aged 3. On reaching a
lonely and deep gully, about nine miles
from Lipiza, the guard set upon the prison
ers, and murdered all Of them. They also
killed the woman, who was enceinte, and
the boy. The bodies of the victims were
discovered a short time after.
