AvoCA, Ia, Feb. 19.-TSpecial to THE Bee.
The grand jury now in session in this city
brought in an indictment last night against
Belts and Window, on charge of robbery.
In the latter part of December, Il young Ger
man of this city was approached by a man
and asked if he wanted employment. TIL
foreigner responded in the Affirmative, and
the alleged employer, having represented
himself as one of the well-to-do farmers of
the valley, living near Oakland, proposed
that they start for home. They took the
evening train south and upon arriving at
Oakland started to walk in the direction of
the home of the farmer whose name had been
given. When about a mile out they were
confronted by a masked ~highwayman, loaded
to the gunwale with revolvers, who de-
manded their brains or cash. The young
German forked over what collateral he had
about him, together with a certificate of de-
post for S25 in the Avoca bank, and made a
bee line for the town. He, however, noticed
that the highwaVman and his alleged en-
ployer walked off together, apparently divid-
ing the spoils. Upon arrival in Oakland he
told his story and a party started in pursuit
of the pair. They were captured several
days afterward near Carson, held for pre-
liminary examination and bound over to
await the action of the grand jury, which
has just brought in the Indictment given
above. They are a pretty tough looking
pair,

A 1hree-Foot Coal Vein.

UNApILLA, Neb., Feb. 19.-lSpecial Tele-
gram to TIL EE.l-This village is In a
fever heat of excitement to-day over the dis
covery of the three-foot vein of coal by well
diggers on the property of Jonn Horton. At
a depth of ninety feet they struck a vein of
six inches. Later, at a depth of $50 feet,
a vein of eighteen inches was discovered, and
to-day the rich discovery of a three foot vein
at n depth of 205 feet. The excitement runs
high. Numbers of capitalists have
visited the discovery from various adjacent
points, anxious 10 invest. The owner of the
property has had propositions from these
gentlemen to form a stock company of sl0,0 900
for the development of the vein. A sample
of the find will be taken TO Lincoln at once
for analysis. Meanwhile work will proceed
in developing the vein, and perhaps the well
diggers will go still deeper in hopes TO find a
Still thicker deposit.

IOWA TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE
Considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
Starting a Now Crusade.
THE PRESENT LAWS WEAK POINT.
IL Has Never Become a Part of the
Constitution and is Therefore
Liable TO Total Annihi-
lation.


Dies MONIES, Ia, Feb. l0.-[Special Tele.
gram to The BEE, The annualm meeting
of the State Temperance alliance began here
to. night. A number of topics bearing on the
enforcement of prohibition will be discussed.
The president of the alliance, Rev. DIR. Eel
lows, of Manchester, delivered his annual
address tonight. In an interview he said
that a number of the leading temperance
people of the state are considering the sub.
ject of having another prohibition amend
ment submitted TO the people. The old amend.
ment, adopted Jun &c, 1852, was declared
invalid by the supreme court on n techni-
cality. Thereupon the legislature passed the
present prohibition law, which could, of course,
be repealed by any succeeding legislature.
Some of thestemperance people are afraid
that the anti-prohibitionists might speak in
some year and capture the legislature and
thus upset the whole thing. They think
that prohibition would never be really safe
until 1T was engrafted in the constitution,
and so they want to sec it put there. 1t
would take about three years for it to run
the gauntlet of two legislatures and be sub
mitted TO the people, and DR.. Fellows thinks
that it would carry by $1,000 majority in
stead of the 80, 900 it had before. The prohi-
bitionists have not positively decided to
begin the agitation for another crusade of
this sort, but they are beginning to feel pub
lie sentiment on the subject.

BUREAU OF HARBoRs.
A Proposed New Branch of the War
Department.

W]AsuiNGToN, Feb. 10. 800 Representative
Laffoon, from the committee on expenditures
in the war department, to-day reported to
the house a substitute for tho bill introduced
by G.. II. Breckenridge, providing for the
creation in the war department of a bureau
of harbors and waterways, to undertake all
river and harbor improvements. The substi-
tute provides for the creation of such depart
ment, to oe onlccred by a corps of United
States civil engineers composed of an equal
number of military officers and civilians. In
its report accompanying the bill the commit
tee says that the time has come to lnRugu
rate Il definite policy with regard to national
pubic works, and to provide II specific
agency for its execution. Grave
evils have been charged against the
legislative and Administrative methods aud
these charges have gathered force with each
passing year. Mere changes in the methods
of making appropriations or in the admins.
trative system, or in both, will not be sufi-
cient. The report says that the theory of the
present bill is to provide an advisory as well
as Administrative agency. The country is
divided into districts or divisions, each en-
bracing certain related works or groups OF
works, in charge of "A division engineer. Sew
eral divisions are embraced in the proposed
department, which is to be under an advisory
board, and this board is to make final recon-
mendationS to congress through the secre-
tary of war.

HARRISON HARD AT WORK.
Afternoon Receptions Discontinued
to Give Him More Time.


IN~DIANAPoLIs, Feb. Flowing to the
necessity of General Harrison requiring the
control of all his time during his few remain
ing days in Indianapolis, it is announced, at
his request, that after to-day he will be COM
pclled to discontinue the daily afternoon re-
ceptions and only such callers as secure spe-
ciic appointments can be received. Cor
respondents are requested to address their
communications henceforth to Washington.
The schedule for the president elects train
from indianapolis to Washington has been
arranged. 1t will leave the former place
upon the Pennsylvania road at noon Monday
next and arrive at its destination the next
afternoon. The train will consist of Presi-
dent Roberts private car, two Pullman
Sleepers and a baggage car, and will be run
as a section of the Atlantic express.
Among politicians great doubt has been
expressed to-day as to whether Wanamaker,
ltusk, Thomas, or even Noble will be given
seats in the cabinet. The greatest interest
seems to be conferred in the Pacific slope.
Many republicans openly declare that it will
be a breach of good faith if the slope is ig-
nored, and they refuse to admit that it will
be; but after all, there is nothing but c~onjec-
ture, for no one has any positive information
on the subject.
The general and his family have actively
begun work preparing for their removal to
Washington.
This afternoon the Women's Literary soci-
ETY., of which Mrs. Harrison is a member,
gave her a farewell reception. There was a
full attendance of members, and a most en-
joyable occasion they made of it. Mrs. Har-
rison has been greatly annoyed by letters
based upon a reported conversation to lave
been had with her during her recent visit to
New York, wherein she is quoted regarding
the steady stream Of visitors to the family
since the date Of her husbands nomination
for the presidency. To those who know Mrs.
a denial of either statements or
language is unnecessary.

Is lt Murder?


WIsNER, Neb., Feb. 10.--Special to THE
BEE. Last Friday evening about 8 p. m.
Maggie Mendall, daughter of Charles and
Margaret Meudall, living five miles north
west of Wisner, was talnE violently sick
while at home with her mother and younger
sister and brother. She had spasms at inter-
walls, which soon became more frequent. a
doctor was summoned, but arrived Just in
time to witness her death at IL p. m. The
manner of her death suggested poison, and
the coroner was called, who arrived on Sat
urday and summoned a jury of farmers. The
evidence developed the fact that Mrs.
Mcndall had driven her husband away from
home and that he was living with a
stepson about two miles distant, and
that she had made home a terror for him for
two years. She refused to send for him
upon the earnest appeal of the dying daugh-
ter, and he did not see the child until after
her death. The son testified, in the presence
of his mother, that she (the mother) had
threatened to kill him and his sister (the de.
ceased) Mt various times if they did not leave
home. Other testimony brought out salts
fled the jury that something was wrong, but
being inexperienced they acted upon the ad-
vice of the coroner who, it seems, feared the
county would not stand the expense Of an
autopsy and examination, and advised the
jury to find II verdict that she came to her
death from causes unknown The body
was buried to-day, but from the interest
manifested by citizens and neighbors in the
case, ii is quite probable that it will be ex-
humed tor examination.

A Dubuque Sensation.

DuBuRuE, Ia, Feb. 19,-TSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. l-When. the hour approached
to-day for the funeral of Robert Palmer a
brakeman recently killed by the cars, there
was a startling sensation at his residence in
this city. A woman clad in deep mourning
approached the house and demanded to see
her dear husband, as she called him. The
widow of Palmer refused to admit her, and
a stormy scene followed. The stranger was
finally driven away, but she reappeared at
the Congregational church, where the scene
was repeated, as the stranger demanded to
see the dead man in his coffin, but was re-
fused.
1t appears that Palmer had been twice
married and the stranger was wife No. l,
Amanda j, Morris, to whom he was married
at Waterloo in 1850. The second wife was
Nellie Snyder, to whom he was married in
DeSoto, Wis, in 1856. Wife No. 1 has filed
application to be appointed administrators of
the estate, and wife No. 2 has filed notice
that she will contest the same. A lively
complication seems inevitable. 1t is stated
that Palmer supposed wife No. l was dead
when he married No. 2, No. l having left
him some time before.
