The "Lone HIghwayman" coes Up
for Life:

st. Louis Special: United States Mar.
shall Cabell Of Dallas, Tex. reached this
city with Jim Newsome, the high wayman
who, single. handed, robbed the stages Of
the Brownwood and Ballinger line over q
tence for life, and will spend the
rest OF his days in the Albany, New
York, penitentiary. For the last
five or six years, ho wever, he has indus
triously led his peculiar vocation, riding
thirty stages within that time. He always
played lone hand, and his usual method
Of procedure was to stop the coach with
q persuasive flourish OF q six-shooter,
range the passengers in line. and go through
them with neatness and dispatch.
He was never known to molest
lady passenger, and he frequently handed
back q quantity OF small change to his vic
tim. Probably his most audacious exploit
was the time he held up q stage coach with
nothing in the shape OF weapon save a
hammer handle, which he handled in the
moonlight in such a way that the fright
ened passengers supposed it was one OF
Smith & Wesson's best. Brownwood, Bal
linger, Cisco and Angelo formed the princi-
pal theater for his operations. and a stage
never set ont from these towns for the last
five years without grave fears OF meeting

The Great Southern Boom.

The Manufacturers Record of Baltimore
publishes it's annual review of the indus.
trial growth Of the South for 1887, which
it says was in many respects the most re-
markable year in the history of that Sec
tion. az more was accomplished for the
progress and prosperity OF the whole South
than ever before in the same length OF
time. There is scarcely q single line OF
manufacturing or mining business in
which the number OF now enterprises re-
ported during 1887 is not more than twice
as large as in 1886. OF the fourteen South
ern states there are only four in which the
capital invested in new enterprises is not
double the amount invested last year. In
cotton manufacturing there has been great
activity, and eventy-ssven new mills have
been projected, which is the largest num-
ber Of new mills ever reported in one year.
The industries OF the South are being
greatly diversified, as well as increased.
This year the amount OF capital employed
is 1886, 29S, 900, against $129, 226, 900 in
1885.

Honors From the Pope,

Baltimore Special: It is rumored here
that in connection with the papal jubilee q
number OF honors will be bestowed by the
parts of the world. Among the new car.
dinals to be named are DR.. Walsh, arch
bishop Of Dublin, and in the United
States Archbishop Wood OF Boston or
the Venerable Archbishop Kendreth OF st.
Louis. The archbishops OF Mexico and
Rio Janiero. Brazil, will also receive the.
red hat. This, for the first time in the his.
tory of the papacy, will give majority OF
the college to foreigners the Italian cardi-
nails being in the minority. Among the
new archbishops and bishops who are to
be appointed will be Rev. John Foley of
this city to be appointed to be coadjutor,
to Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Ireland
OF st. Paul is to receive the pallium and
will have q new diocese comprising Mime

endorsement OF Minnesota
Railway.

The New York Mail and Express says.
The embarrassment of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis may fairly be placed to the pro.
crustean efforts OF the Interstate commerce
act, with the cordial and hearty co.opera.
tion OF the Minnesota railroad commission.
The road is largely dependent upon
the traffic between Chicago and Min.
neapolis and st. Paul. It is part OF the
Rock Island route, and is controlled by
that company. Although it is almost 100
miles longer than competing routes it was
enabled to secure enough through traffic
to make both ends meet. Under the op-
peration of the interstate law it was una-
BILE to meet the rates of the Minnesota d
Northwestern and Burlington & Northern.
To do 30 would involve a reduction
OF local rates below q paying basis,
and so the company lost o con.
siderable amount Of through business. al.
though it had been able in the past to meet
its fixed charges very nearly. The neces-
sary additions to equipment, and proper
ty have piled up the large floating debt.
Il is possible that the stockholders will be
called upon to contribute to the hsextinguish-
ment Of the floating debt. and the bond
holders will be asked to accept lower rate
ofinterest on the junior bonds. The prop
erty is so valuable that it will require com.
paratiyely slight concessions on the part
Of security to holders to make il pay.

A dispatch comes from Canada stating
that ut the recent conference between Supt.
Bell OF tho foreign mail service OF the Uni
ted States postoffice department. and Mr..
Mcclellan. the representative OF the Cana
dian postoffice department, an arrange
ment was reached by which a parcel postal
treaty between the United States and
Canada will probably be concluded. The
Canadian newspaper which is responsible
for this dispatch is greatly in error. The
fact in that the demands OF the Canadian
postotfice officials were OF such character
that the representative oil our postoffice
department would not for moment rec.
ommend to the postmaster general that
. parcel post treaty upon any such basis
should be concluded.
Persons holding close relations to the
administration claim to know that the

our fishing vessels the commercial rights
which we accord to their fishing vessels.
and whether the three-mile limit shall fol-

American negotiators that the question
would certainly be decided in our favor by
any arbitrators that might BE- selected.

siIilngs Held for killing Kingsley.

At Waverley, Iowa, M. 3. Billings was
held for the murder Of w. 8. Kingsley.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury was as
follows: Thes jurors upon their oaths do
say that on Dec. 21, 1887, w. s. Kingsley
.came to his death by. means OF q wound in
flicted by pistol ball shot and discharged
from q pistol in the hands OF NJ. e. Bill
lings, which instantly killed Kingsley, and
that such killing was deliberately premedi-
tated and ieloniously and OF his malice
aforethought done by said Billings. From
the testimony it developed that Billings
had forged his own wife's naue to notes
directed to the lawyer, the contents OF the
note being full OF loving terms, and asking
Kingsley to meet her at her own house
while Billings was away. Kingsley replied
in good faith, declining to make the assigna-
tion and warning the supposed female
writer to desist from her course. OF course
the reply fell into the hands Of Billings.
The latter even went 30 far as to prepare
notes oi- hand fled out. conveying all
Kingsley's property to himself. It is be.
lieved that on the day OF the shooting Bill
lings went to Kingsley's Office to try by
blackmail to get him to put his signature
to the notes. The evidence as to the black
mail and forgeries was direct, but there
was no witness to the shoe ting. and that
part will have to be proven by circum.
stantial evidence.

Iowa Registration Law Declared
Unconstitutional

Judge Stoneman, OF the superior court
at Cedar Rapids, Iowa, declaredthe registry
law uncons titutional. The registry law was
passed by the last legislature and was
somewhat similar to the one governing the
reglstr alton Of voters in Illinois. The case
was one brought by Col. Clark vs. the cleo
tion Judge OF the Fifth ward OF that city,
who was refused the privilege Of voting on
election day, he not having registered. The
complainant averred that during the time
when under the law he might otherwise
have become registered he was necessarily
absent at Des Moines in attendance upon
the United States Circuit Court in which he
was practicinR attorney. Tho defendant
demurred to the plaintiffs petition. The
demurrer raised Che question Of the consti-
tutionality OF the registry act. The decis-
ion Of nconstitutionality which was rem
dered, was based upon Massachusetts
case, Capen vs. Foster, IL Pickering 4S5,
and similar cases in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin. Nebraska and Ore
gon and the court holding that with these
decisions the legislature could enact no
law which would deprive voter oihis con.
stitutional right.

My friends-Again we stand in the shad.

less babe-a mystery that has never yet

ress DISCHARGED the duties OF life, has reach
ed her journey end. "A braver, a more serene,
a more chivalric spirit-clasping the loved
and by them clasped-never passed from
life to enrich the realm OF death. No field
OF war ever witnessed greater fortitude,
more perfect, smiling courage than this
poor, weak and helpless woman displayed
upon the bed Of pain and death. Her life
was gentle and her death sublime. She
loved the good and all the good loved her.

never suffer more; she can never feel again
the chill OF death; never part again from
those she loves. Her heart can break no
more. She has shed her last tear,
and upon her stainless brow has been
set the wondrous seal OF everlasting
peace. When the angel Of death-the
masked and voiceless-enters the door OF
home, there comes with her all the daugh.
ters Of compassion, and Of these love and
hope remain forever. You are about to
take the dear dust home-to the home OF
her girlhood and to the place that was
once my home. You will lay her with
neighbors that have loved. that are now
at rest. You will lay her where my father
sleeps. All can say 10:
"Lay her in the Garth,
And from her fair and unpolluted flesh
Let voilets spring."
