a newspaper man, ~but in this case the

in looking over the papers, and then
said. I can't imagine what makes me

Gen. Cadmus Wilcox, of the Confed-
crate army. fought at Gaines Mill and
Frazer's Farm, commanding~a brigade of
1,s00 men, out of which he lost 1, 05j, the
the heaviest per cent of loss of any brig
ade in Lees army. AT Gettysburg it
was Gen. Wilcox who, reporting a dis
aster to his brigade to Lee, received the
memorable reply; "Never mind, general,
this is all my fault, and you young men
must help me out of it." Col. Freeman
tie, u British officer, was neal Lee at the
time, and afterward wrote an account of
it, in which he refers to Wilcox as a
general wearing a short, round jacket
and a much-battered straw hat In
August, 1868, Wilcox was made major
general, and commanded five brigades.
At the final surrender, Wilcox and
Sheridan were the first general officers
TO meet. They were both ON the Skin
mish line, and, learning through a flag
Of truce that Lee and Grant were in cor
re%spondence, Sheridan said to Wilcox:
IF this is true we should arrest this affair
at once. and have no more people hurt. "
This ended the last fight of Lees army.

MANY bills have been introduced dur
ing the present session of congress for the
forfeiting or declaring forfeited-of the
numerous land grants to railroad compa-
MES which have failed to comply with the
terms on which their grants were made,
but, somehow or other, little progress
seems to have been made in actual leSis-
lation. Nearly all such bills seem doomed
either to fail in the other house or to re-
ceive uniavorable recommendation in COM
mittee. While it would be rash to assert
that all grants of land to corporations
have been corrupt, or even unwise, the
majority Of them are open to grave u $
picion, but no matter how originated or
carried through. a decent regard for vest
ed rights and the obligation Of contracts
must support their validity in all cases of
fair compliance with conditions prevailed
The Others should be declared forfeited
without further delay, and the land within
their limits be Immediately restored to the
public domain and opened for settlement

The Yuma Sentinel tells of a natural
telephone in the wonderful Pacific coast
country. 1t says hat a train of cars is
plainly heard on the line of the Atlantic
& Pacific railroad at The Needles for O
distance Of seventy-eight miles TO a place
called Cottonwood island. The discharge
of the sunrise gun at Fort Mohave can
be plainly heard at Colorado canyon, a
distance of 100 miles. Sounds can be
understood in the narrows of the grand
canyon of the Colorado for a distance OF
eighteen miles. The whistle Of a Colo
RADIO steamer can be heard from FL
Dorado canyon to Weaverville, the head
of navigation, a distance of seventy
eight miles, and by tumbling a rock
over the precipice at Lees Ferry you can
plainly hear the echo down the river at
Weaverville, a distance of thirty-six
miles.-Chichago Tribune.

WAsmS0roS correspondents lind it in
the line Of their omniscieuce to predict a
row with Great Britain on the fisheries
question, but because the United States

no reason to suppose that any right

A sA1YAr1oN1sr,s SHOT.


He Deliberately Kills the Brother of HI
Sweetheart.
A CASTLE, N. Y, dispatch says; At
O'Clock this morning Robert Van
Brunt fatally shot VIM, Roy
attic home Of tho lRtter'a
father In this village, The crime was moi
generally known, however, until six oil
seven hours later, which fact doubtless
saved the murderer from lynching at the
hands Of the incsnsed villagers. He had
an examination to-day and now await
trial in the county jail at Warsaw. Van
Bruut Is an EuglIshman, who came across
two years ago, and to CASTLE six months
with the Salvation Army in England and
Temporarily abandoned his trade last
March to join the somewhat notorious
Captain Halls army.
One Of the deVotees OF the SAlvattonistH
was Eva Roy, q brunette Of 10, with rath.
or pretty features. Mutual infatuation
between Eva and this Chalk,iaCed English,
man resulted, and when Van Brunt re-.
sumed work at his trade here five weeks
ago he went to board at Roy's, ltdoes not
appear that the girls parents objected to
the intimacy, but her brother Fred. aged
II, did, although he and Van brunt room
cd together, and her half-brother William,
who worked on farm near CASTLE, very
strongly opposed 1t, Both young men
urg, d their slater to refuse Van Bruut's
attentions, and he knew OF their opposi,
ton. Last evening win Roy visited Eva
and remained in the parlor chatting with
her until o'clock, Fred Roy
had been sleeping In the
room above for several hours,
but bis roommate remained awake,
doubtless nursing Ills jealous anger at
Roy's presence below, At the hour nam,
ed, unable 10 endure the situation lon.
ger, VauBIunt came down stairs without
coal, vest or shoes and entered the room
where Roy and the girl were sitting at op.
Posite slices Of email table. Walking up
to the latter he said;
"Didn't your mother tell you to 80 to|
bed"
She replied, Eyes; but Will Is going
away on the hall-psst train and shall
alt up till then"
Without furthar parley Van Brunt
drew his revolver, and thrusting It across
the table until the muzsle was within an
Inch OF Roy's skull pulled the trigger.
The SO CSlibre ball entered just above the
right temple and penetrated the brain,
producing wound from which he died
at 8 y. NJ, today. The murderer then ran
up.ataip, possibly to make another VIC
tim Of Fred Roy, but the latter had left
his bed, and jumping on Van Brunts
back hsunarmsd and ovsrpowered him,
took tho weapon away, and with 1t com.
PEELED him to 70 to the house OF con.
