English Capitalists Well Posted.

Referring to the reports Of operations Of
English syndicates in this country, promi-
nent business man remarked yesterday: BE
Gore and during the Civil War English capital
lists looked upon our Government as an expert
ment and liable to 60 to pieces at any time.
The triumph of the Union cause convinced
them that the Republic had come to stay, and
that it offered better inducements than any
other country in the world for investments.
Hence they commenced forming syndicates to
buy up almost everything they could lay their
hands on. think they have placed consider
able money here, but not nearly SO much as re-
ported. They are still at work.
'The operations of these syndicates are based
on extensive and accurate data. talked with
the representative of one of them not long ago,
and be informed me that they had made care

the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi river,

Substitutes for Lumber.

A correspondent signing himself ~. A." is
not troubled over the prospect of the exhaus-
ton of the lumber supply. He says: The
history of the world teaches. not only that every
generation has looked out for itself, and that
each generation lived better and had more con-
veniences than its predecessors, but that the
younger generation growing up have actually
had no use for many things that their elders
imagined they could not do without. A pros
pect of shortage in the supply of tallow candles
would doubtless have given our greatgrand-
fathers much concern, and perhaps they would
have wondered how their descendants would
manage to read at night in the event that
candles could not be procured. But what use
have we for candles now, and what use will our
descendants have for gas lights7
MANY substitutes for lumber have already
been introduced into our buildings, and many
more will probably be forthcoming when the
necessity for them become apparent Our ex-
tensive and costly buildings are constructed
largely of stone, brick and iron, and very little
lumber is used. Doors are made of papier
mache, and seem to be quite as satisfactory as
those made of wood. Necessity is the mother
of invention and when the timber gives out,
we shall have. in all probability, something
better TO take Its place."

 From the Tucson Citizen.
 A business meeting of the South western Live Stock Association was held last evening at the Palace Hotel.
 This organization is now established on sound business basis, and com prises nearly all the cattlemen of Pima county. Many from outside are expected to join it shortly.
 Discussion was held as to the route and outlay required for the purpose, it being stated by Mir. Walter Vail than an outlay of 5000 for the digging of two wellsin the desert and building boat to cross the Colorado River would be all the expense at present required. The boat will have capacity of fifty head |, and will cost, with cable, about $500.
 Mir. c. M. Burkhalter, agent for the Southern Pacific Railroad, appeared be- fore the meeting and submitted esti- mated rates, and asked that the associa- tion defer definite plans until rates on cattle can be obtained from the general freight agent of the railroad. At pres ent the rate per head to Los Angeles is about $4.50, and the estimate for taking them per head by trail is $l.50, If a sufficient reduction be made in the rate some members of the association will favor the shipping of stock, as there is some danger of loss by stampeding in driving, though all are in favor of founding the trail for any emergencies that may arise.
 Plenty of funds have been subscribed, much of which will constitute a reserve fund. At present the subscription is $4, ,450, contributed as follows: F. Maish, 5000; Vail x Gates, 5000; Thos. Driscoll, 5000; D. Markham, $500; F. L. Proctor, $500; II. Buchanan, $200; Henry Brothers, $250.

Hebersthal near Aix-la-Chappelle. has created
great excitement The woman was killed in
some mysterious manner IN the open
street under tina eyes of the passers-by.
The throat was cut from ear to ear. The body
was disembowelled and otherwise mutilated
after the fashion of Jack the Ripper. The I'M
fortunate woman was drinking with China
man all the afternoon In low den and
the pair parted apparently on friendly
terms. 1t is supposed that the Chinaman sub
sequently laid in wait for and murdered her.
When the body was found at midnight the
blood lay in stagnant pools on the pavement
all around it. No outcries were heard by those
living in the vicinity and none
OF the neighbors could throw a parti-
Gle of light on the mystery. The
police arrested thirty laborers of the Chinese
colony OH suspicion of having been accessory to
the murder. The London police department
is much interested i'll this crime OH account of
its similarity to the murders committed by
Jack the Ripper and sent detectives
yesterday to trace the scenes OF
the last Whitechapel crime, taking
the details of the Hebersthal murder along with
them for comparison. 4 reporter who accom-
panied the officers created great excitement by
relating the story of the Hebersthal outrage

Ing the administration of President John
son Mr.. Warden was the Presidents pri-

the Cincinnati Enquirer. Previous to that
time he had been a drug clerk, a lawyer, an
editor, publisher and a musical and dramatic

THE FLYERS AT JENNINGS.
A Good Attendance Today Despite the
Weather.

Special Dispatch to TIE EVENING STAR
BESSISGs, ID. c., April S.-The love Of horse
racing Is above any minor difficulties, such as
rain, the prospect of heavy track and such
other little things. This was proved by the
fair attendance at the Bennngs track today.
Many ladies too braved the elements and
occupied their usual seats on the stand and
club house porch. Just as the 1:30 train reached
the course the rain came down in torrents. but
only for the few moments, when the sky
lighted perceptibly.
The track is not in a bad condition by any
means, and just here it may be said that the
Bennings track is one of the hardest in the
country, as the weak legs OF many a horse will
discover before many years.
1t takes more than a shower to have any ef-
feet on the track, and even after hard rains its
drying-out capabilities are something remark
able. Today is the last day of the meeting and
the races will be rum rain or shine.
The betting on the first race was as follows:
Coriolsnus, 6 to 5; Wallace colt, to s.; Cerise
colt, to i; Sequence colt, to l.
WALLACE WINS.
The first race was won by Wallace; Cerise
second and Sequence third. Time, 81.

TALLY but one charge.

assistants to ask for bail in one case and per-
sonal recognizance as to the other cases.
He would be content that bail
be fixed at $4,000 as to
Strong and %, 600 as to Brooks. The court &C
quiesced and made the order. Robert Strong,
the brother Of Mr.. Strong, was preferred and
accepted as bail in $1,000, and recognizsnce

sented VIM. Fletcher, who entered into bail
