Gould's Ideal Railroad Assoc iatiou.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 19.-[Special tele-
gram TO THE HERALD. The rumor sent
out last night from Chicago that jaw
Gould had formed an ideal railroad associa-
ton, its title being the Southwestern
Railway and Steamship association. caused
profound surprise in railroad circles in
Omaha and according to the latest details
all the lines south of Kansas City and west
of the Missouri river have long felt the
need of strong association. Meme of the
existing agreements suited and jay Gould
has quietly been working for year over
the formation of an agreement which will
be strong enough to compel every line to
do as it should. a fortnight ago the presi
dents of all the roads interested met in
New York and signed cast iron agree
mont which absolutely prevents disastrous
rate wars.
General Freight Manager Whitney, of
the Union Pacific, when asked about this
latest move on the part of Gould said the
plan had been attempted several times be-
fore and was big thing 1t would have
considerable influence on railroad business
in this section, as there would have to be a
concert of action en- through business be-
tween the southern roads and those in this
section. MIR. Whitney was OF the opinion
that before the matter went much further
there would be several more roads in
cluded in the association.

A Turkish uap-o,-Nar Founders.

LONDON, Sept. 19.-Advices from Hiogo
state that the Turkish man of-war Erto-
groul foundered at sea and five hundred of
her crew were drownee. The Ertogroul was
wooden frigate 2,334 tons, mounted Al guns
OF small calibre and was built in 1868.
Osman Pascha and Ali Pascha ENJOYS Of
the Sultan to the Emperor of Japan were
among the drowned. Osman Pascha

ing been entrusted with 81 e,ial mission
from the Sultan to the Mikado.
The progress of the Ertogroul since she
lett Constantinople for the east many
months ago, has been most ludicrous
Leaving Turkey short of money, it was un-
derstood that supplies were to be sent to
her to ports at which she was TO coal with
the result that her sojourn in various
countries was indefinitely prolonged as the
officers at home were unable to keep their
promises. In this way she lost some of her
crew, and her officers were many times on
the berge OF rebellion, induced by starva-
ton while the governors of the cities
visited refused to remit the harbor dues
and grant other privileges of right due her
as Turkish nan-of-war On the ground
that she was sailing in that character and
had not powder enough on board to enable
her crew to fire the regulation salutes

was child of the Republicans, the national
land system, the attitude of the Democrats
during the wars of the rebellion, recon

hive issues. The Mormon question was
another live issue. Ire attitude of the
two political parties on lead and silver was

Died Far From Home.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. Especial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. AN unknown man
was found dead Thursday evening in his
room at the Merchants hotel. Three let
tiers were found in the dead mans pocket
signed From your loving mother.n One
was dated Omaha, 1885, and. the other from
Spring Valley, Ills. The first two were
dated this year, the third one having been
written in June last. 1t was evident from
the tone of the letters that the recipient had
been in the mountains in search of health
as all the letters expressed the hope that
he would return well and strong. The de-
ceased was evidently telegraph operator
as he had certificates stating that he had
passed satisfactory examination and wgs
qualified to act as operator or the Denver
& Rio Grandc railway. There was only 80
cents in money found in the pockets The
remains were very much emaciated and
had every appearance of person in the
last stages Of consumption. The man was
about forty years OF age

Comment in Omaha.

Butte. Mont. Sept. 19.-TSpecial tele-
gram to THE HERALD. L. +. Willard, a
wood hauler. camped about eleven miles
back in the hills from this place, brought in
the story Of a strange murder today. Sew
eral mornings since a stranger called at his
cabin and asked for breakfast, saying he
had been riding all night. While the two
were talking a second stranger rode up.
Throwing down double barreled shotgun
he said: az have found you at last, Throw
up your hands" As the hands of the
stranger did not go up, the last conner fired
both barrels. striking him under the arms,
killing him instantly. The murderer ex-
planned his action by saying he was the
sheriff of Deer Lodge county. and
was after the fellow for stab
bing man near Anaconda, and
then stealing horse to get away. He
fired because he was afraid to take chances
with so BAD man. Willard accepted the
story and assisted in iying-the body Of the
dead man across MS horse, when the self
styled sheriff rode away, taking MS victim
with him. The more Willard thought Of
1t the more certain was he that something
was wrong. AT last he determined to tell
the sheriff. A warrant has been sworn
out and a posse IS out now looking for the
dead man, and the description given OF the
two men accords nicely with that OF two
cowboys recently on the range. The sup
position is that they had quarrel that re-
suited in the murder as given. The story
has aroused considerable excitement, and
every possible effort will be put forth to
apprehend the murderer.

Coal Found Near Denver.

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 19.-[Special tele-
gram to THE HERALD. THE Eureka Oil
and Gas company, which recently com
menced boring on its property at the inter
section Of Plum creek and Platte river,
about fifteen miles south of this city, has
struck vein of coal at the depth of only
100 feet. The coal is described as being
hard, burns freely with clear white ash,
and is thought to be superior in quality to
the Ignite Goals of northern Colorado The
vein is feet thick and its proximity to the
city will add immensely to its value All
the railroad lines south from the city pass
within short distance of the present Dor
ing, and if extensive mines can be opened
there coal can be cheaply marketed as rap
Idly as it reaches the surface. Great Sc
crecy attends the borings of the Denver
Gas and Oh company at Morrison 1t is
learned, however, that drilling is being
prosecuted very carefully to avoid the pos
sibility of crooked boring. The depth of
nearly 800 has been reached, the lat er
portion of which is through very hard
rock, with indications that when the pres
ent stratum is pierced oil may be expected.
