H. Wentworth, of Harrington, Dickinson
county, has fled a complaint with the board
of railroad commissioners against the
Union Pacific railroad claiming that he
shipped Windmills from Abilene TO Council
Bluffs, and prepaid freight to be collected at
destination. He alleges that the company
refused to refund the amount of charges
collected, and asks the intercesslon of the
board. The mayor and council Of Chap
man, Dickinson county, have requested the
board to compel the Union Pacific to per
init passenger train No. zOl to stop daily at

The following letter has been received at

posed to have been affected with Texas fever
and which died few days ago IN Morris
county:
GOusrH0r J. 4. Martin, Topeka, Kan.
DEAR SIR-In obedience to your telegram
] proceeded to Council Grove, and inspected
the sick cattle. I find that some died from
an unknown disease, but the remainder Gp-
pear to be in good condition. These cattle
are Of the Jersey breed and the most tender
of the bovine kind. My conclusion Is that
something they found TO eat when first turn
ed to grass this spring caused the trouble.
The facts are that this herd has been ten
derby cared for until they came into posses
sion Of their present owner who feeds them
[ all well but on wild hay and chopped grain,

When the time arrived for the singing of
the hymn '.Benedictus" the choir did not
respond The rector requested the sing

Of the choir, made positive refusal, say

and preferred rendering the "Jubilate, -
which, as they claim, was Just as appro-

The steamer "Portia' arrived at Halifax
| from st. Johns, Newfoundland, en- route for
| New York, with the news that the steamer
| ''Siberian" had not reached that port up to
the time she left. Nothing has been seen of
/ her en- route. This report, added to the
| telegram from st. Johns, announcing the
nOn-arriVal of the Siberian" caused the
people OF Halifax to experience the most
/ lively fears for the safety of their friends on
/ board. SiIty-seven passengers vent on
| board the steamer at this port, many of
/ whom intended to go to st. Johns only.
| The presence of the British man of war
/ tBelle Rappln,' at Halifax at this juncture,
/ is explained at the British admiralty office
/ to be neither significant nor important. She
/ is there now in the regular course of orders

aIAxwELL CONVICTED
The 1Iurdere Of A rtIlur PreIler Convicted
Of Murder In The Eirst Decree.

The Murde rer OF Arthur Ireller Convicted
Of Murder in The First Degree.
81. LOUIS, June 5-When the criminal
court convened this morning the deputy
who had gone earlier in the day to the jury
room to ascertain if the Maxwell jury were
ready to make report, entered the room and
held short whispered conversation with
Judge Van Wagner, who Immediately
came evident then that the jury was not
unanimous. The first ballot taken this
morning revealed the fact that one more
had decided upon conviction as q Just YER
dict, for the note stood III to ].
Maxwell bears up well under the severe
strain which he has endured for the past
three weeks and when this morning the an
nOuncemenU was made that only one juror
was holding out against conviction, the
hopeful expression upon his face diminished
but little.
At about noon the jury proceeded to take
another ballot. after having argued with the
obstinate member. The ballots were collect
ed and counted by the foreman who found
that there was inscribed upon each the word
I guilty The deputy sheriff was summoned.
He was told that the Jury had a COmmuuica-
ton to make to the court. The sheriff took
/ the twelve men IN charge and filed them TO
l their seats, where they remained standing
I while the foreman read from a slip of paper:
/ We Ine jury md the prisoner guilty OF
murder IN the first degree, as set forth in
the Indictment" The prisoner sat in his
! accustomed place between the attorneys
/ and as the noon hour approached and no
! communication was received from the Jury
/ rOoms his hOpefulness seemed to increase,
/ for he knew that the l3nger the jury should
\ hang so much greater were his chances for
/ a new trial
/ When the announcement was made, how
/ ever, that the jury wished to report, he
/ turned uerVOusly IN his chair to scan EheiI
cOuntenances. He found no sign of encour-
/ agement there, and when the verdict was
read his face blanched and his eyes sought
I the door, where they remained fixed. The
/ jury was polled, and each assentsd to the
I verdict, after which the Judge dismissed
| them.
The prisoner was taken TO his cell. where
he viii await the result Of q motion for
new trial, which VIII be made upon the
/ grounds Of the Incompetency of the prose
cutOn's witnesses and errors in the judge'
instructions

Among the buildings in New York
city to-day there is not another that has
so ancient and eventful a history as the
hall Of records, or registers Office in the
City Hall park. 1t was erected about
the middle Of the Last century, when
Broadway was a county road when the
only theater stood on the site Of the pres
emit World establishment, when Center
street was a lake, William street was
swamp, Canal street q river, and the
Bowery a lonely lane, running up
through huczleberry bushes.
During the revolutionary war this
building was the chief British prison for
distinguished patriots. Here Capt. Ma
! than Hale, the intrepid Yankee, was con-
fined after his capture with plan Of the
/ British defense OF Long Island ia his
shoes, and In the public common adjOin-
I ing. exactly where the city hall now
/ stands, he was hanged as q spy. Here
I that tough old rebel, Ethan Allen, Of Ii
/ cOnderoga fame, was imprisoned after his
/ capture while trying TO take Montreal
l with thirty men; and bis treatment and
/ that Of others caused the building, which
now stands near the city hall station Of
/ the elevated road, to be regarded by the
patriots with about the same abhOrrance
I as attached to AndersonVille after tha
/ late war. When the British evacuated

THE SENATE.

The death of Senator Miller. of Cali
fornia, will make a difference of two
votes in the Senate in favor of the Dem
ocrats, reducing the Republican major
ity from to 6. Governor Stoneman,
who has the naming of Miller's success
sor, will of course appoint Democrat.
With the expiration of the present Con-
gress, on March 4th next, twenty five
Senators will go out, as follows
Senators Hawley, OF Connecticut, Har-
rison, of Indiana, Hale, of Maine,
Dawes, of Massachusetts, Conger, of
Michigan, Mcmillan, of Minnesota, Van
Wyck, of Nebraska. Sewell, of New
Jersey, Miller, of New York, Sherman,
of Ohio, Mitchell, of Pennsylvania,
Aldrich, of Rhode Island, Edmunds, of
Vermont, Malone, of Virginia, and
Sawyer, of Wisconsin, Republicans;
Gray, Of Delaware. Jones, of Florida,
German, of Maryland, George, of Mis-
sissippi, CockrelI, of Missouri, Fair, OF
Nevada, Jackson, of Tennessee, Maxey
of Texas, Camden, of West Virginia, and
the successor of: Miller, of California,
Democrats. Two Democrats and one
Republican have been reelected,
namely; German of Maryland, George
of Mississippi and Sherman of Ohio. If
the Democrats were united, with the in
f1uence of the administration in their
favor, they would certainly have fair
majority in the next Senate. They
should be able to win in California. In
diana, Michigan, Wisconsin and New
Jersey, and there is a chance for them
in New York. A gain of these seats
would give the Democrats 45 to 81 for
the Republicans, or majority of Ia.
But The party is in no condition to win,
and unless the administration falls into
line with the national Democracy be-
fore the close of the present session of
Congress, Cleveland will prove
downright injury TO the Demo-
Gratis. The party will be forced
to carry him into the contest
and the way things are going the load
will be heavier than it can waddle under
to success. The discomfort with the
President and the distracted condition
of the party councils render the outlook
anything but bright and cheerful for
the true Democracy.
