Robbing the Conductor.

Two men made good wages off streeA
car conductors in this town for some
weeks by simple continuance. One
would approach car from either side
and appear as total strangers. Both
would crowd into the center of the
rear platform, and the one farthest
from the collector would hand him
half dollar or dollar to hand to the
conductor. The latter, in the hurry
and crowd, would take little notice of
it, but, guided by the impression con-
veyed by his fingers, would return the
correct change. A minute afterward
the other man would look up meelkly
and ask if that wasn't half dollar or
dollar, always double the true amount
that he had handed. The conductor
could not say positively, and would
appeal to the stranger who had acted
middleman. Of course. he would agree
with the demander, and another quar-
ter or half dollar, as the case might
be, would be handed him. A few
Llocks farther both strangers" would
alight and work the next conductor.

Davitt May Make Startling Dis
closures,

LONDON, Oct. 29.-In his speech be-
fore the Parnell special commission,
Michael Davitt is daily scoring points in
favor of the Parnellites, and adding to
his already well established reputation
as an eloquent and fOrcible orator. As
his speech progresses public interest in
the proceedings. which at the reSump-
ton of the sittings of the commission
had become dormant by reason of the
withdrawal of Mr.. Parnell from the
case. awakenS and the court room is
again assuming the appearance it pre-
sented when the Nationalist defendants
were engaged in their daily occupation
of knocking down the foundation of
forgery, perjury, and fraud upon which
the case of the Times was based.
To-day Mr.. Davitt held his
audience almost breathleSs while
he recited his experience during
the ewes of many of his hearers when
he pictured his prison life, an episode
of which was his being yoked to a cart
like 4 beast of burden. because with his
single arm he was unable to perform
the tasks imposed upon him as man
with two arms could have done. 1t is
quite evident from intimatiOns made by
Mr.. Davitt from time to time in the
course of his address that he is on the
eve of making some startling disclosures,
and this assumption is fortified by an
article in the Freeman'S Journal, which
asserts that the father of the land
league is rapidly drawing his adversa-
ries to the verge of the precipice over
which they will inevitably be hurled.
The disclosures are said to affect the
Times to a greater degree than did even
the confession of the infamous Piggott,
and to be of a character rendering it
almost impossible for the ''cut and
dried" commission to sustain single
allegation made by that paper.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 29.-Eight mis-
erably clad and weather-beaten seamen
landed here to-day in the schooner Anna
l.. milford, Capt. Tilton, from
Charleston. They had been picked
up in an open boat on Friday, hav-
ing lost their vessel in the storm which
wrought such devastation along the
coast. They were Capt. Daniel b. Eddy
and the crew of the American brlgan-
tine Clara Pickens. 1t is eight days
since the brigantine sailed from New
York for Savannah out. Capt. Eddy
said that it seemed as if he had
been at sea six months. and he tells
a terrible story of privatlon and
shipwreck. The crew of the schoon-
er Mabel |. Phillips, from Charleston,
S. c.. also arrived with their captain.
Capt. Thompson, to-day. In telling his
story tonight he trembled like child.
On Monday week the Delaware capes
were in view, but contrary winds car
ried the bark to sea. During the hufrl-
cane of Thursday and Friday the seas
broke over her, washing away every
thing along the decks, and every sail
was torn away. Friday morning Cap
tain Thompson prepared himself to face
death. He went down into his flooded
cabin, wrote an account of how the bark
had been damaged and directed 1t to his
family in Taunton, Mass. He was about
to put it into a bottle to throw over
board when they were rescued by the
bark Boylston. He has the slip OF
paper slowed away, and says he will
never part with it. A tug will be sent
out after his lost vessel.

ARBITRARY ALLOWANCES.

They Are Preserved to the Union
Pacific BY the New Alliance.
BosToN, Oct. 29.-The following is
the Union Pacific view of the Union
Pacific Northwestern alliance in answer
to the question:: 'How does this con-
tract differ from the old tripartite alli-
ance?"
1.-The tripartite contract was with
three alliances and premature. The
present is much closer alliance. with
one ally, and is mature. The Union
Pacific is now much stronger than when
it made the tripartite alliance, and is
more able to back it up. The time is
ripe for such an alliance. and no trouble
from it may be anticipated.
IF the Rock Island says the tripartite
agreement is still in force, then it must
give us all its Denver business, and for
what purpose then is the Rock Island
now i'll Denver?
The tripartite was broken by the
withdrawal of the Northwestern, and
made worthless by the building of other
lines westward The Northwestern was
already reaching to Denver and might
soon start for more western points.
Now, instead of competitor, the North
western becomes close ally, extend
ing our system to Lake Superior and
Chicago, and. if need be, to the Atlantic
seaboard. through the Vanderbilt lines.
The NorthWeS ern takes care OF the
whole of our west bound traffic, and
we take care OF the eastbound business,
for ten years with an arbitration board
to prevent friction. This preserves the
Union Pacific its arbitrary allowances
for the ten years, and against these the
other lines had been whiting away
until there was danger we should have
nothing left but prO-rate mileage

that his message to the council had been
prepared since his return here from
Kansas City and independence, Mo-,
where he had been to consult with the
cattle men and others concerning the
lease of the lands. He said his mes
sage would review the history of the
lauds. and would give a frank state
ment to the members of the council
of the facts in the case. which, since he
had gained more complete knowledge
of the governments rights in the prem
iSeS. convinced him that the best thing
they, the Indians, could do would be to
accept the governments offer Of
S1.25 per acre and the allOt-
ment of lands in severalty.
His message would contain this
recommendation and he had no doubt
that the council would adopt it. Ex-
Chief Bushyhead is also here. He and
Chief MayeS had long conference this
morning and the result was that Bushy-
head had promised to use his
influence with the council to
persuade it to accept the
governments offer. Bushyhead has
always, heretofore. been the strongest
opponent to the sale of the lands. The
prospects are now that the commission
will have little difficulty in their deal
ings with the counbil and that the
governments offer will be accepted.
