Refugees En- Route Create Panics,

REFUGEES En- Route Create Panics.
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Sept. 14.-After
many weary delays along the route,
a train load of Florida refugees ar
rived at this city yesterday, and left
after short stay for Henderson Stille,
n. c., which is the destination of
fugitives. The train was made up in
Jacksonville, and consisted of ten
coaches packed. In these con-
veyances were between 400 and 500
grown persons. and perhaps 100
children on the train; the number of
cOlOred passengers of all ages and
sexes EN- route beggared description.
The news of the train had gone before
it and at every little country station
crowds Of people were gathered to
view its approach. Occasionally the
refugees would wait until they came
to one of these stations, and when
they stopped every window along the
line of the train would be thrown
open, and in an instant each window
would be filled by the heads and
shoulders of the refuge, es looking
scOrnfully at the scared country peO-
pie, for the moment the Florida heads
were pushed through the car win
dOws, crowds would flee like sheep.
This maneuvre was tried several
times, and in each instance the gath
erings flew with all the speed that
their legs would command, and
seemed as much frightened as if the
pestilence were already among them.

families have killed and eat

REILLY'S DEATH
Thought to Have Been Caused
by Excess sive Drinking.

AAOu&nt ~ hAVc DGCn CauScO
by Excess sive Drinking.
Last night VIM. Moffat Reilly was
taken to the County Hospital. He
had just been taken out of the hack
and placed in a chair in the office
when he died. Coroner Meredith was
notified and he in company with a
HERALD reporter visited the place
where Reilly last resided. He has
for the past few weeks resided with
Mr.. Sidney Rosenberg, pickle manu-
facturer, 1411a Upper Main street,
and for the last two or three days has
been very i'll and complaining Of pneu-
monia. Last night he was very rest
less and Mr.. Rosenberg had him con-
veyed to the hospital, where he died.
Upon investigation it appears that of
late Reilly has been drinking, but at
times would brighten up and promise
to reform. He was lawyer in New
York and has wife living in New
Jersey. From some of his papers and
by'what he had told Mr.. Rosenberg,
General Reilly of Philadelphia, once
Inspector of the States prison there,
and very wealthy is his father. A
letter from his father was found, in
which was the following advice:
That if he did not give up drinking
his life would be, first, that of
tramp; second, the poor house; third,
the potter's field.

COME AND WELCOME!
Another Competitor for Trnns-
cont mental Traffic.

SAN Francisco, January II. -
Charles E. Fairbank, General Agent
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul road for this coast says that
there is everything to prove the
statement that his company will
extend its line to California.
The work of extension, he is quoted as
saying, will probably..begin from the
Pacific Coast of the end OF the line.
The reason for that, it would seem, is
that the Company may gain advan-
tage over the other Eastern lines,
heading for California, and
particularly the Rock Island and
Northwestern. Work would be
commenced at both ends OF the line
simultaneously. The road will, no
doubt, be surveyed from Kansas City
through southern Kansas, Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona and up the San
joaquin Valley. ''From interviews
which have had recently with General
Solicitor Garry and other officials of
our line," said Mr.. Fairbanks. 81
think that the presumption is fair that
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
will enter this State as soon, if not
sooner, than some of its competing
lines, now looking this way"

THE SENATE.
Important Subjects Presented
For Debate.

WASHINGTON, January lin the
Senate to-day, Platt offered resolu-
ton instructing the Postoffice Com
mittee to inquire whether any mail
matter addressed to Senators had
been detained in the Washington
postoffice, and whether such detention
had been legal or illegal. He made
an explanatory statement to the
effect that 400 copies of book mailed
by a Connecticut advertising firm to
Senators and members of Congress,
and on each of which eleven cents
postage was paid, had been
charged 81 cents extra pos
tage, because the words "judicious
advertising agents and experts" had
been printed on the wrapper and had
not been delivered because such extra
postage was not paid. In his judg-
ment the law did not authorize this
extra charge. After some discussion
the resolution was agreed to.
In connection with the same subject
Sawyer asked for the immediate con-
sideration of the House bill relating to
permissible printing or writing on
second, third and fourth-class matter,

A SUSPICIOUS WOMAN.
She Causes the BODY of Her Hus-
band to be EXhumed.

17.-The Coroner last night granted
permission to Mrs. Mary T. Keep, the
divorced wife of Chas. Keep, editor OF
the Wall Street Ne,cs, who died of

lief that he is still alive, but is feigning

suits for property which were pend
ing. The casket this morning was
taken out and opened, and though the
body was in an advanced stage Of de-
composition, the features were per-
feet, and Mrs. Keep Immediately rec
ognized the body as that of her hus-
band. Being satisfied that her theory
that Keep was still alive was wrong,
she requested the body to be kept in
the receiving vanlt for a few days

to ascertain whether neep was the
victim Of foul play or not. A detec-
tive, who said he bad been sent by
