Chronic Rheuma atism.

Mr.. Frank Butler, of 142 Porter
street, Detroit, had been great suf-
ferer from chronic rheumatism nearly
all his life. His mother said he had
been treated 10y about all the prom
iuent physicians in Detroit, and besides,
they had used all the remedies they
could hear of for rheumatism, but
that all the physicians and ali the rem
edies failed entirely to give him any
permanent relief. DR.. Hartman has
been treating him but a very short
time, and now he is quite well. Both
he and his parents are profuse IN their
manifestations of gratitude and thanks
for what DR.. Hartman has done for
him.

MISSING MAIL POUCHES.
ALL THAT LEFT NASHVILLE May
HAS DISAPPEARED.

1t Has Been Traced from the Postonacs
to the Mail Wagon, But NO Farther
Tho Postoffice Departments Sup
posed to Have a Man Now Investi-
eating the Mystery.
NASHVILLE, June 20-All the mail that
left the Nashville postofice for the south on
the night OF May7 has disappeared. The
fact has been withheld by the postofffce
officials, in order that the Investigation
might not DO hampered. For two days a
government detective or inspector has been
IN tho city, but he has proceeded so quietly
that his presence has been known TO only
the attaches of the department, and not all
OF them were aware of his coming.
Mail for southern points, as far
as New Orleans, was arranged as
usual, put in a pouch, locked up aud deliv-
cred at the door of the postoffice to the
keeper OF the wagon which carries the mail
to the depot. The pouch was locked up in
this wagon, which drove Off toward the
depot, and that is the last heard of it as vet.
HOW THE Loss WAS DISCOVERED.
The loss Of the pouch was detected in two
or three days, and in this way: According
to the rule OF the government, number of
SSesuSAh PvSeoAhSes are required daily to
remit to the Nashville postoffice any
excess OF receipts over a certain
sum, which varies according to the volume
OF business done at the place This is done
that no large amount of money NAV be
stopped at any office. Nashville IN turn
makes daily remittance to Louisville. and
Louisville to New York. Receipts for these
remittances are daily sent TO the post
masters forwarding the money. On Nav 9
the postmasters to whom receipts were due
from DIR. Currie for tie remittances of Nav
y wrote that their vouchers had not arrived.
The banks at Franklin, Columbia and Pu-
laski then notified him of their failure to
get checks, etc
RESULT OF AN INVESTIGATION.
Proof that the entire mail from Nashville
to the south had disappeared rapidly accu-
mulated, aud DIR. Currie made an investiga-
tion. de learned, it is stated, that the mail
pouch had been delivered al tue door Of the
postottice as usual to the drivers of the con-
tractors wagon. The mail clerk on the
train which should have received the
pouch stated that he had never Seen anv-
thing ofit The pouch, it was thus reasoned.
had disappeared after leaving the postoffice.
But howl To settle that question DIR. Cur
rie, on May 10. notified the department. at
Washington that it might make an investi-
CATION. Nothing further was heard in this
connection until, as stated, Mr.. Stubbs, a
special agent, came TO Nashville last Tues
day to hunt the affair down. It Is impossi-
bic now to learn how much money was in
the mail 1t was desti ed for a large and
important territory and the presumption is
that the pouch contained much valuable
matter.

Iceman O'Suliivan Said to Have Made
a Confession.

ASCAAA04 ~ sullivan 2dlA W AANO 4Ae4NAO
a Confession.
CHICAGO, June 20.-Detectives last night
arrested a grocery clerk named Kuhn, who
is familiarly known as ''CoonseY," to make
him explain his close intimacy with Daniel
COughin during the months of March and
April He was the ex-detective's constant
companion, and accompanied him to
Peoria, where Coughlin made threats
against Dr. Cronin. Chief Hubbard SAID
last night that he did not think Kuhn was
a participant in the murder, but he thought
that owing to his intimate association with
COughlin for such long period he might
be able to tell more about the ex-detective
than anybody knows now
Chief Hubbard received the following
dispa ch this afternoon from Officer
Collin at Winnipeg: 81 have identified the
prisoner here as Martin Burke. He has
employed lawyer. but there is no chance
of his getting away. Chief of Police McRae
retained counsel yesterday"
Tonight Assistant Glennon of the states
attorneys office, started for Springfield
with voluminous documents upon which
will be based demand for the extradition
of Martin Burke at Winnepeg. Saturday
Assistant States Attorney Baker will prob
ably take tue papers to Washington. They
must be signed by the President aud Secre-
tary Blaine before they go to Winnipeg.
o'sULLIvAN ABOUT TO sQUEAL-
P. OSullivan, the ice man, indicted for
completely in the Cronin tragedy, was to-
day removed TO the so-called boys depart
ment of the Jail, the recognized haven for
"squealers. O'Sullivan is the person
whose business card and whose curious con-
tract with the doctor for medical services
mead fN l1,ra tO hfu
The story is given out that the Ice man has
offered to make clean breast of every
thing he knows His motive for being
willing now to confess is alleged to be
fright over the arrest of Burke at Winni-
peg.
GIVEN CREDENCE.
Considerable credit is given to the
statement as to the iceman, but it is tenn
pered somewhat by suspicion that his re-
moval is simply part of a series of shrewd
tactics on the part of the authorities to
break down one or another of the suspects
O'Sullivan, it is claimed, sent to-day to
Sheriff Matson and requested a personal
interview. The sheriff responded, and after
brief, pointed talk, hurried t. the grand
jury room in searchsof States ATTORNEY
Longenecker. The states attorney, it is
represented, was making such encouraging
progress with the grand jury that he was
reluctant to bother with any informer,
This information was taken to the
iceman ana resulted in still
more urgent plea for a hearing
with Mr.. Longenecker. The states attor,
ney, it is said, finally acceded to a confer
ence, and without making any promises,
gave O'Sullivan to understand that the
penltentiary was more comfortable place
than the gallows, and that if any accused
person had a choice in such matters the
earlier it was evinced the better. AT this
point O'Sullivan was taken leave of by the
officials. Tonight the ice man was in the
abode of informers.

DRAWBACKS ON BAGG1NG.
A Complication over Covering Onl

A Complication Over Covering Only
Part Imported.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The treasury
department has received number of COM
nunications from southern exporters in
regard to drawbacks on coverings of ex-
ported cotton. 1t appears that the ship
ments in question included some baling
which was not made exclusively from i'm
ported jute, and that the exporters are
therefore unable to make the oath on COM
bination entries to the exact number of
yards of bagglng entitled to a drawback.
The collector gof customs at Norfolk
recommended that he be author
lied to deduct from the quantities
of baling stated in the entries certain
percentage to be determined by himself, for
coverings which were made from materials
other than imported jute, and to allow a
drawback on the remainder. He said, that
being fully aware of the irregularities ex-
isting this season in the material used for
covering cotton in bales, he has used special
vigilance in the matter and feels that him.
self and his assistants are in a position to
deal intelligently with such cases.
CAN'T BE GRANTED.
Assistant Secretary Tichenor has in
formed him in reply that the department is
of the opinion that no drawback can prop
erly be allowed on the shipments in ques-
tion, inasmuch as the exact quantity of
baling entitled to drawback does not appear
to have been determined at the time of ex-
portation, either by the exporters them
selves, or by the government officers super
vising the shipments, and that there is no
provision of law or regulation to authorize
commingling and preliminary entries of
goods entitled to drawbacks with those not

CHANGES IN RAIL RATES.
A Lumber Shipper Complains of Lack
of Notice.


WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The interstate
commerce commission to-day heard the
complaint Of VIM. L. Rawson VS.. the New
port News and Mississippi Valley Company.
The Baltimore aud Ohio railroad, as a joint
common carrier with the Newport News
aud Mississippi Valley Company, and L.
Boyer's Sons of New York city, as light
erage agents Of the Baltimore and Ohio,
are made parties defendant with
the Newport News ard Mississippi
Valley Company. The petitioner resides in
hlchmond, Va, is engaged in the manu-
facture and shipping Of lumber aud has a
storage yard at Covington. Va, on the
chesapeake and Ohio railway. The petit
tloaer also ships from other points The
Newport News and Mississippi Valley Com
pany operated at the time of the occasion
OF tho complaint as the Chesapeake and
ONO railway within the states Of Virginia
and West Virginia.
A SUDDEN CHANGE IN RATES
He says that for some years previous and
during the spring and summer of 1887
there existed a tariff on lumber on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to New York
city, including delivery to any point within
the lighterage limits of New York harbor,
of "A cents per 100 pounds. Shortly after
the petitioner shipped from Coyington, Va,
carload of lumber for New York city at
the above rate. Two or three days after the
shipment the agent of the Newport News
and Mississippi Valley Company handed TO
petitioners agent at Covington bills of
lad1ng showing a change in the route of
transportation by shipping via Staunton
and the Baltimore and Ohio road, which
change incurred on additional charge of not
less than cents per 100 pounds, to be
exacted for delivery by lighterage, to desti-
nation within the nghterage limits.
LACK OF NOTICE.
The petitioner complains that he did not
receive notice of this increased rate, nor
was such information published as the law
directs. This difference in, charge and in
the failure &c post circulars, the petitioner
holds, was in violation of the act to regulate
commerce. Testimony was then givea for
the complainant and defendants, after
which the case was submitted by attorneys
representing all parties The commission
took the case under advisemeat.

The Crop in Indiana Threatened with
Destruction.
INDIANAPOLIS, June 20.-The complaints
about the destruction of wheat by a strange
insect are increasing. They are coming
chiefly from the southern and eastern parts
of the state, but the ravages Of the little
bug have already spread to northern
Indiana, and the secretary of the state
board of agriculture regards the reports as
alarming. The insect is what is
known among agriculturists as the
'green midge,n another species of
which is ''the red midge" The latter last
appeared in this region about fifteen years
ago, and did great damage to growing
wheat. The green midge, the little de-
stroyer which is now doing such alarming
work, has not been seen by the farmers
since 1865, when it almost entirely
destroyed the wheat crop of Indiana and
neighboring states. Millions of them ap-
pear in a field, settling upon a stalk from
which they draw the sap, causing the grain
to shrivel before it is matured. The insect
is green in color. Little is known about
them because their appearance has been

parliamentary secretary to the foreign
office, In reply to an inquiry, stated that
the government was considering a pro

Washington OF representative maritime Of
countries, but he did not think it de-
sirable to reveal the subjects to be
discussed until they have been agreed upon
by the countries which take part in the con-
ference. He would say, however, that
England desired to narrow the issues TO be
considered so that they should not include
questions which should be regulated by
municipal legis alton.

DUTIES ON SALT.
Remission Made on the Article When
Destroyed Before Use.


WASHINGTON, June 20.-Application was
recently made to the treasury department
for remission of duties on certain salt lost
during the recent freshet at Norfolk, after
having been withdrawn in bond, for use in
curing fish caught in the United States.
1t appears that neither the law nor regula-
tions provide for remission of duties on salt
withdrawn in bond, except upon the pro-
duction of proof that the salt has been used
in curing fish, but that it has been the
practice, in cases of similar description,
covering salt withdrawn for curing fish on
board fishing vessels C3022, Revised Stat
utes), to cancel such withdrawal bonds,
under proof of The loss at sea of the salt
covered thereby. Assistant Secretary Tiche-
nor has informed the collector of customs
at'Nolfolk that the same principle may be
properly extended to salt in bond, and lost
by casualty before 1t could be used for
curing fish, and he authorizes the collector
to credit the withdrawal bonds in question,
with the quantities of salt alleged to have
been lost.
