The surveyors Of the Tennessee 4
Coosa surveyed up to within five miles
Of the city yesterday, and came into the
city at nightfall for supplies. They call
ed at the MERCURY Office and enquired
for paper containing list of the mer-
chants who subscribed to the road
This list will be used as guide-book
by all the contractors, workmen etc. to
ascertain who to trade with and where to
buy in future. Those who did not SUBJ
scribe. it is to be hoped, will now feel
the result Of their short-sighted lack of
public spirit. This should apply to
every line Of business in the city.

SIBERIA.
Interesting Papers In the May Century.

Interesting Papers In the May Century.
Mr.. George Kennan will tell in the
May Century how he came to go to ST.
IBERIA on the Century expedition. Mr..
kennan had spent some time in Siberia
alrt ady in connection with the overland
telegraph scheme, and in the summer of
1884 he made preliminary excursion to
st. Petersburg and Moscow for the pur-
pose Of collecting material, and ascertain.
ing whether or not obstacles we're likely
to be thrown in his way by the Russian
Government. He returned in October,
fully satisfied that his scheme was prac-
tical one. He therefore sailed from New
York for Liverpool in May, 1885. He
says: "All my prepossessions were fa>
vorable to the Russian Government and
unfavorable to the Russian Revolutions
ists." He adds that this "patly explains
the friendly attitude toward me which
was taken by the Russian Government,
the permission which was given me to
inspect prisons and mines, and the COM
parative immunity from arrest, deten-
ton, and Imprisonment which enjoyed,
even when my movements and associa,
tions were such as justly to render me an
object of suspicion to the local Siberian
authorities"

Why Depot Was Blown Up by Dynamite
WABASH, Ind, April l9.-Monday night
the depot OF the Cincinnati, Wabash & Mich
igan railway at Urbana, this county, was
blown up by charge of dynamite. When
the road was built farmers in that locality
and residents of the town subscribed liber-
ally, and the railroad officials agreed to put
up fine depot. They have never done so, al
though the people Of the town donated
piece OF ground expressly for that purpose.
Recently the agent at that place learned that
an attempt would be made to blow the depot
up and petitioned to the company for protec-
ton, but no attention was paid to his request.
The company has decided not to rebuild the
depot.

LONDON, April 1a.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times is informed that startling
revelations are about to be made regarding
Gen. Boulanger's election expenses The
stories about Mr. Bennett and others giving
Gen Boulanger money, the Times CORE
spondent says, are absurd.
The startling revelations have been already
foreshadowed, In a rumor that Boulanger's
agents have been in conference with the
Royalist conspirators, which is absurd on It's
face. If he is not ambitious only to make
Boulanger president or dictator, then he is
acting in the interest of Viotnr Napoleon.

The Late Fidelity Cashier Taken to the

CINCINNATI, April 19-The few early
risers, whom chance led By the county jail
this morning did not realize as they glanced
up at its forbidding aspect that the closing
scenes Of a life tragedy were being enacted
within its walls
Benjamin E. Hopkins, the ex. Fidelity
bank cashier, with the shadow of death upon
him, was preparing to leave Cincinnati, the
scene of his triumphs and his disgrace, his
prosperity and his misfortunes, for the Co
lumbus penitentiary, where he is to pay the
penalty that the law he outraged demands
As Hopkins stepped out from behind the
changing jail doors, he presented picture Of
hopelessness and despair that caused a thrill
OF pity to run through every one present.
The only one of his family then present
Charley Hopkins, his son, his wife and
daughters having taken leave of him Tues
day night. He did not wait long at the
Jail, but quietly bidding the jail officials
goodbye, and thanking them for their kind
and considerats treatment he hurried to the
hack in waiting in company with Deputy
United States Marshals Costello and Kier-
sted, and was then whirled away through
dull, gray morning to the Union Central
depot, where he was placed on the Midland
train, which left at sos for Columbus.
He was accompanied to Columbus by his
daughter and son-in law, Mr. and Mrs. Nell
son. The entire party occupied Pullman
palace car. When seen by a reporter, Hop
kins was seated in one of the compartments
of the car in company with Deputy Marshal
Costello. He said:
II am very sick man. The chances are
about twenty to one against my getting
well. When l return to Cincinnati it Win
be as corpse. feel that my days are
numbered"
Judge Sage gave Marshal Urner the neces-
sary orders to remove Hopkins to the peni-
tentiary. The judge acted upon report Of
United States Surgeon Bowling, made last
Saturday, that the prisoners health would
permit of the removal. Hopkins family
bade him an affecting farewell at the Jail
Tuesday night. He will be placed in the
hospital on his arrival, as his condition

MATRIMONIAL COMPLICATIONS.
A Young Married Couple Who are
Having Trouble.

KANSAS CITY, April 15.-In 1885, Jesse
Mcfarland was sentenced to the pen.
itentiary for five years for living with a
woman who was not his wife. He
wished to marry Joanna Green. but her
mother objected. The young couple
went to the next county, but the girl
being under age, they could not procure
marriage license. They procured a
license next day at Carthage, and were
married by a person whom they sup
posed to be empowered to perform the
ceremony. When they returned to
Che rokee County, they lived together
as man and wife, but the mother in
law. on the advice of lawyers, had Nc
Farlsnd arrested. He was tried and
sentenced. Owing to technical infor-
mality IN the transcript of the court
records, the case was never properly
brought before the Supreme Court, but
Judge Horton reviewed the testimony,
and issued his dictum, which has, how
ever, no weight against the decision Of
the lower court.
The judge decided that the marriage
was lawful, being contaminated with
good intent. The case will at once be
brought before the board of pardons,
and Mcfarland will undoubtedly be set
free. But there will then arise series
of complications which will be decid-
eddy unpleasant for both man and wife.
The decree of the lower court still
stands, and according to that decree,
they are not man and wife. If they
live together again, Mcfarland is liable
to arrest for the same offense. yet, if
he marries some other woman, the
Supreme Court says he is already mar
ried to Joanna Green. She cannot
marry again, and yet she cannot live
with her husband, for the lower court
says she is not his wife
