MURDER WILL OUT.

Dsecoverv or the Remains Of Mrs. Sarah 81.
Graham In q Cave Near Springfield, Mo-,
with the Evidence OF . Foul Murder--The
Effect of the Discovery ON Her Bisanous
Husband.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Feb. 26.-The body
of Mrs. Sarah II. Graham, the missing
wife of George E. Graham, was found
yesterday by John Potter and other citi-
zens of Brooklyn, who with Detective
Ed C. Davis explored deep sink-hole or
cave on farm of Mrs. Emma Motley,
about four miles southwest of this city
and about fifty feet under the ground,
found the nude body of woman partial
ly decomposed. Near the body was her
clothing. Death was caused by pistol
shot wound in the right breast. Other
wounds had evidently been inflicted on
the unfortunate woman, who, it Is
thought, beyond any doubt is the miss
ing Mrs. Graham.
Her husband was married to Cora Lee,
an adopted daughter of Mrs. Motley, In
this city, on the 18th of last July. He
was arrested on the charge of bigamy a
month ago. Last September Graham
wrote to his wife, who was with her par
ents at Fort Wayne, requesting her to
meet him with the children at st. Louis.
He also sent money to pay her fare. Mrs.
Graham did as requested, and her people
not hearing anything of her whereabouts
since then suspected foul play, and made
a vigorous search for her. Graham and
the second wife reside on the Motley
farm, where the body was found yester-
day, and when he was told of the startl-
ing discovery, he turned pale and looked
down at the floor, protesting that he
could not get justice here.
The case has been worked up by detec-
tive Davis on the theory that Graham
quietly brought his wife on here and TAX
ing her out to the farm orutally murdered
her. He had taken the clothing from her
body for the purpose of burning it to de-
stroy any evidence of the crime, but be-
ing near the roadside, he became fright
ened at the approach of some one and
threw the clothing into the cave with the
body.

How They Will Evade the Law.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 2s.-The Ohio
Valley Telephone Company, which con-
trolls the lines in Kentucky and FLOYD
and Clarke Counties, Ind, announced
Yesterday that they would take out their
exchanges in New Albany and Jeffers on.
vile by April 1. They do this because
the Supreme Court of Indiana has decid.
ed chat the law fixing the rental of tele-
phones at three dollars a month is constf-
tutional, and they say this would be op-
Grating at loss. They propose to evade
the law by putting in private lines
connected with the Louisville exchange.

EADS' SHIP RAILWAY.

Report of the House Committee on Conn
merce on Captain Eads' Proposition to
Build Trans-Continental Ship Railway
Across the Isthmus.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The majority
of the House committee on commerce
submitted long report with substi-
tute for the Reagan bill, reported yester-
day, to incorporate the Atlantic & Pacific
ship-railway, and known as the ssEads
BILL" The report goes over what it
deems the "necessity for the construction
of transit way for ships across the
American isthmus," and states that this
necessity arises from the fact that we
have growing possessions which can
only be reached by 5000 miles of ocean
travel, but that two-thirds of this dis
lance can be saved by the removal of the
isthmus obstruction, which excludes our
commerce from entrance into many valu-
able markets of the Pacific. There are but
two ways to secure a transit way; one is
for the Government itself to construct it,
and the other to secure its construction
by private company. Mexico is I'M
willing to give her consent to any govern
ment acquiring such valuable rights, but
is willing that private company char
tered by the United States Government
shall construct the transit way. Then
the report recites the terms upon which
Captain Eads has secured the right for
his Ship Railway Company, and recon-
mends that the Government grant him
the charter and unite with Mexico in a
pecuniary guaranty in it's construction.
Mexico has guaranteed that after the ship
railway is completed, one-third of it's an
nual net revenues during period of
fifteen years will annually amount to
$3.50, 900, and the United States Govern.
ment is now asked to guarantee
that the other two-thirds of such
revenues shall, during the same
period of time annually amount to
$2,50O,000. This is equivalent to guar
anty by Mexico of five per cent. per an
mum on $25,000,0 900, and by the United
States of the same per cent. on $50, 000, 900.
The guaranty is merely to make good any
deficiency in the revenue which may exist
at any time during the fifteen years to the
extent of the sum mentioned, and any adj
vances thus made are merely in the form
of loans. 1t is not proposed that the
Government advance any money to aid in
the construction of the railway, but, on
the contrary, the report says, it is dis
tinctly provided by the bill that the liabil
ity of the Government under it's
guaranty shall not attach until
the ship railway, with its terminal works,
has been completed and equipped, and
until the company has transported from
ocean to ocean in perfect safety vessel
weighing, with her load, not less than
four thousand tons.
The committee discusses the practical
bility of the proposed ship railway, but
concludes that it is not matter for Con-
gress to consider, as the company as
sumes all responsibility of it; but the
committee thinks it not reasonable to ex-
pect private company to complete
work of such enormous magnitude with
out some guaranty from the governme mt
to be benefited by it,

THE REVENUE LAWS.

Secretary Manning Offers Suggestions Re-
lating to Proposed Changes.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Secretary Man.
ming yesterday sent long letter to Sem
ator Allison, chairman of the Senate SUBJ
committee on undervaluations. The
Secretary condemns increased penalties
for differentiation, where no fraud is al
legged, as unfair and inexpedient-a virtual
confiscation of property where no wrong
doing is charged and no trial granted. A
larger, better and more capable apprais-
ing force at New York is urged. An
extension of the present system of con-
sular invoices is opposed, IS existing
methods are productive of satisfaction.
A return to a system of rewards for
informers is opposed. The Secretary
again urges the passage of a bill
which he has drafted in reference to
protests and appeals. Legislation dis
eliminating against the consignment sys
tenn is deprecated.
