A Romancs Of tha civil War.

RALEIGH, N. c., May 1s.-There was
reve aled to a farmer in Mecklenburg
county yesterday one of the strangest
of the stories which grow out of the
late war. AS the farmer, whose name
is Wallace, was at home he saw an old
man driving an OK and followed by a
woman and number of children COM
ing along the road. Wallace made in
curry and found that the man was an
old confederate soldier with his wife
and children on their way to
Texas. The man went from north
ern Texas to the Virginia army, but
was so badly wounded at the close of
the war that he could not return home.
After three years of suffering he recov-
cred sufficiently to marry a woman
who had been very kind to him during
his long illness. 1t was not until re-
Gently that he was able to pack up his
few goods and start on his return to
his old home. In the meantime eight
children have been born unto him. He
proposes to work his way back tC
Texas. Wallace asked. the woman how
she would feel when she got to Texas
| If another woman claimed her hus
| band. She replied that she was MOI
afraid of that. The old soldier left {
wife in Texas when he went to TIT
| army, as he acknowledges, so Their
may be yet another chapter in the 70
nance.

A Strange Death.

GALVESTON, May 1S.-William II.
Willis, prominent citizen, thought he
heard some one moving in his house
about two o'clock yesterday morning,
and went down stairs with cooked re-
Volver in his hand. A few seconds
later his wife heard a sort of scuffling
and pistol shot, followed in q moment
by two more shots in quick succession.
Rushing to the stairway she found her
husband unconscious, with bullet hole
in his head and his pistol grasped in
his hand.
Colonel w. l.. Moody, a neighbor.
heard Mrs. Willis cries aud hurried to
the Willis residence. Mr.. Willis was
still breathing but died in a moment.
A crushed banana was found on the
lower step. No trace of burglars was
found. Three chambers of Mr. Willis
revolver were empty. The theory of
the death is that Mr.. Willis stepped
upon the banana and fell, his pistol be
ing discharged as he fell. The wound
must have given him the idea that he
had been shot by the burglars whom he
supposed were in the house and upon
which subject his mind was inte1tly
fixed and thus caused him TO discharge
two shots half mechanically before
losing consciousness. His remarkable
strong physique and nervous system
would have enabled him to Withstand
the shock and effect of the fatal yvounS
in the head longer than an ordinar,
man and given him the power to fir
the two shots.

Mllers' Products.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, May 1.-THE
Northwestern Miller says: The mills
made very good showing again last
week, the product being larger than
the week before by reason of one more
mill running. The output for the week
was 40, 300 barrels, averaging 28.38S
barrels daily, against 16S 800 barrels
the week before and 120, 600 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1887. There
are twenty mills in operation to-day,
the same as a week ago, but another
that was closed down Saturday night
for three days repairing will be started
this evening, with a daily output of
!, 400 barrels. The -four production of
the week gives promise of exceeding
that of last week. The millers still
complain of the flour trade being of a
very diScOuraging character, and while
no prolonged shut-downs have yet Oc-
Cured, there is strong talk of soon
bringing some of the mills to stand
still if there is noe an improve
ment in the situation. The man
ager of a 1,500 barrel mill yes
terday stated that he should positively
stop grinding as soon as present
orders were filled. During the week
prices of -four have been advanced
materially. One thing said to be af-
fecting the market unfavorably is a
of eastern jObbers to sell from stocks
bought below present prices at little
under what millers are willing to take.
There is practically no export demand.
Direct exports of -four for the week
were 5000 barrels against AZ, 800
barrels the week before. This gain is
probably attributable to old orders
being Just filed. Receipts of the
week ending May Is: Wheat 413 800
bushels; flour 685 barrels. Shipments,
wheat 1873 ,0l0 bushels; flour. 157, 1850
barrels; millstuff 1926 tons. Wheat
instOre: Minneapolis TAG, ESQ bushels;
st. Paul, 100000 bushels; Deluth, 81
| 125, 761 bushels.

I'll. sonora Traiu Robbsr,.

NoGALEs, A. T., May 17.-No new
arrests in the train robbery affair have
been made to-day, although the Next
can authorities are exerting all efforts
to secure two Mexicans whose names
they have, and who, it is certain, took
part in the robbery and murder. A
United States deputy marshal tele-
graphed from Tucson last night to
Sheriff Shaw, who is now in the city, to
bring Taylor and Rolling, the two
Americans under arrest here, to that
city. The sheriff, however, will not I'M
dertake it, and it is likely that there
will be serious trouble if the attempt
is made. Tie officers now claim that
they know enough to satisfy them
selves that these two parties are guilty.
The Mexican authorities are taking
steps to have them returned. 1t be
gins to look as if the people will turn
them over if the Mexican authorities
fail to do so.
The Mexican law in regard to train
robbery is brief and pointed. If man
| is caught in the act by an official he is
shot without trial. If not seen by
an official, he is given a sort of pre-
| Iiminary examination. and shot if thu
evidence tends to show him guilty. HI
l is at once shot where murder is added
| to the crime of robbery. But little eyi
dence is required to convict.

LONDON, May 19.-The Central News

Brennan, and found him comforting
with a man named Walsh, who after
wards made a pretence of going to
America. He ostentatiously an
nounced his intention of going to Oma-
ha to see Brennan, and really did start
for Havre, ostensibly to take a steamer
to New York, but after reaching Havre
he went on to Paris, where he has been
living under an assumed name in an
obscure hotel. The police have adver-
tised a description of Walsh, and are
closely watching the men supposed to
be parties to the plot. Further details

Alleged Pension Fraud.

PADUCAH, KY, May 17-Mrs. Sarah
Green, a white woman, 40 years, was
arrested here this afternoon by United
States officers, and locked up in jail.
She has been living here for several
weeks, and came here from Dover.
Tenn. Some months ago she obtained
a pension certificate, with 81 $50 ar
rearage, from the government as a
soldiers widow. It is alleged that the
whole thing was a fraud, and that
while her husband served in the Fed
eral army in Tennessee regiment, he
neither died in the service nor any
where else, but is alive and well to-day,
having good time on his widows PEN
sion money. Mrs. Green will be taken
back to Tennessee tomorrow for trial.
She laughed at the officers when they
took her into custody.
