Services Over the Remsins of Justice Mil
Ter and General Belknap.
WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-There were
two state funerals here to-day. That OF
Justice Miller, of the Supreme Court
was very simple. ...... .-.
Thatof General Belknap, ex-Secret tai y
of War, was somewhat impressive. The
Government granted leave of absence to
all the members of the Grand Army in
the departments, and military hon.
ors were paid to the dead soldier. The
service took place at 1890 this morn
ing at St Johns Church, which is only
one square from the house which was
the scene OF Secretary Belknap's social
triumph when he first became a member
of General Grants Cabinet and but two
squares away from the building where
he died.
The interment was at Arlington in a
commanding spot among the other Is,
600 Union dead, and not far from the
grave of General Sheridan. .. s..
Three hours later the funeral cere-
mony of the late Justice Miller took
place in the Supreme Court room. 0w-

only the officials of the Government and
immediate friends and relatives were
able to attend. The remains will be

r...-.. Biography. Hr-rfs
The saddest affiiction in the world is
total blindness, and human people have
taxed their ingenuity to mitigate its
sufferings. The invention of raised let
tiers opened a new world to blind people,
and the idea has been so improved that
now there are maps constructed on
somewhat the same principle. .is
Blind people are fond of history, and
as history can not be properly learned
without some knowledge of geography,
and to learn the latter without map is
impossible, something of the kind was
necessary, and so special maps were in
vented and manufactured for the use Of
the sightless. -'j.....| a.
They are all of the kind known as
'tdissected maps, and are really carved
blocks of wood. All land stands in re-
lief, the mountains are in ridges, the
rivers are long depressions, the State
lines are elevated. Each State is sep
arate block. and the pupil is taught to
fit the blocks together and thus prepare
for himself map of the whole country.
The name of each Stste is marked,
sometimes on the back, sometimes on
the front Of the block, and the observer
will notice all over the surface of the
blocks small aggregations Of what to
him, are meaningless dots -a ,a
These are the names of rivers, towns
and cities. Cities are designated by pin
or tsck-heads, and the size and shape Of
these show the approximate number of
population. ,1ra5 .''.H

Inhabitants were indicated by pin-heads

the locality of cities having 10000 to
$4,000; rounded tack-heads, from SO, 600

indicated cities between 100, 600 and aO0,-

that he was the murderer of Fishbough
and Emerson, two young men from St
Joseph, who were found dying in a box
car of the Union Pacific railroad on its
arrival at Cheyenne, Wyo., September

the crime and begged for mercy. He
said that he was riding in the freight
car with the young men and while they
were asleep killed them for their
money. He got s47, a revolver and a
silver watch.
September %, the regular Union Pa
cific train from the East carried into
Cheyenne, Wyo., the dead body of one
and the almost ifeless body of another
young man. One of the train men in
passing over the cars at Hillsdale. east
of Cheyenne, heard a groan, and on
opening the car from which it proceeded
found one young man in one end stone

THE SYRACUSE HORROR.


Feasibility That the Leland Hotel Was Pur.

Of the Victims. ktS
SYRACUSE. n. z, Oct E.-Richard
Perry. of the insurance firm Of Bowen
& Perry, who was one of the first per-
sons to arrive at the scene Of the terri
BILE Leland Hotel fire, stated positively
that be made personal examination
and from what he saw he believed the
place was set on fire. The fire started
in back room where lot of grease
was stored. "a skylight was over the
place" he said, "and the flames leaped
up through 1t into sort of we'll which
served as q conductor to carry the fire
to the rooms Of the guests which opened
out upon it on the various floors"
The Globe Hotel was also sblaze for .
time in similar manner and Mr. Perry
said he was quickly on the scene and
declared that the fire started from
grease in the kitchen precisely in the
same manner as at the Leland. He be-
lieved that both places were set on fire
in precisely the same manner by some
person or persons employed in the hotels.
In twenty-five minutes from the first
alarm, the northern side OF the building
fell in, SO rapid was the progress Of the
fire. Fifteen minutes later the center
of the eastern wall fell with terrible
crash. At 1870 the west walls fell, car
rying with them the two-story brick
buildings on West Fayette street, occu-
pied by the Curtiss Manufacturing Com
pany and Charles M. Gibbs. The south

DEATH ON THE TRAIL.
An Old-Time Frontiersman's Queer Nal
and How He Got It.

An oid-Time Frontiersman's Queer Name
and How He Got It.
A peculiar-looking individual was seen
on the floor Of the Exchange to-day.
He was tall. gaupt powerfully-built
man, and wore an embroidered buckskin
shirt. In answer to question he said:
81 am going up on the Yake in the Up
per Kootensi country. My name? Yes,
sir. MY name is Death on the Trail.
By that name 1 am known all over the
mining country. and still never hear
the name without sad recollections."
The grizzled miner was not disposed
to say any thing further regarding the
peculiar name, but from one acquainted
with the circumstances the following
story was CLEANED:
"Ten years ago party Of prospectors
started out from an Idaho mining town
to explore the Upper Kootenai. The
man whom you saw here to-day and five
companions reached the country in
safety. l say in safety, for the trip
was dangerous one in those days, when
hostile Indians and white despersdoes,
who placed but little value on human
life, were numerous. However, the
party had started on their return trip
and were within two days journey from
the place from which they came. They
were bringing back with them many
valuable placer specimens and consid-
erable amount Of dust About two
o'clock that nights party Of Indians and
white men swooped down upon them,
and Death on the Trail or Proctor, as
he was then known, was the only man
who escaped.
1.-THE plunderers, after securing tn,
booty, threw the bodies of their victims
into the river. where they were recov-
cred and identified by their companions.
"When IL was found that the body Of
Proctor was not among them many
opinions were expressed as to his fate.
Some thought that he had been taken
captive and was awaiting death at the
stake, while others supposed that he
had shared the fate of his companions,
and all agreed that he would never be
seen again. A posse was organized to
hunt down the murderers, and. after a
two days. search, they struck the trail
of party of six. They followed as
fast as their horses would carry them,
and, four days after leaving the camp,
they came upon four dead Indians and
the white man fatally wounded and
nearly dead. ..,,-.. ...E
THE white man confessed that his
party had killed the miners and threw
them into the river. He said he did not
know how his companions had met their
fate, but he had seen only one man, who
gave him his death wound. The only
other clew as to who had been the
cause of the death Of the villains was
rude piece of bark on which the words
Death on the Trail had been carved.
"The posse gave the bodies decent
burial and returned home. About two
days afterward Proctor made his ap-
pearance.
"He was questioned as 10 where he
had been and tho death of the Indians,
and even the farce of trial was in
du1ged in, during which he preserved,
as he has to this day, q stoical silence,
but from the day he returned to camp
he has had no other name than Death
on the Trail. '"-Spokane Falls States

THERE Is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment

The Chicago Girls Foot.

A gentleman who had just returned
from Chicago says: II used to think
that the badinage about the s re of the
feet of Chicago ladies was merely St
Louis spite, but during my last visit to
the Lakeside city learned that 1t was
no joke. My daughter found that her
shoes, which fitted her perfectly in New
York, pinched her uncomfortably there,
and she was compelled to buy larger
pair for comfort. On speaking Of this
to lady friend, who, born and reared
in Philadelphia, is now married and
living in Chicago, she was answered:
oh, every ybody has to do that here.
never wore any thing larger than a
number three until came here, and
now four and half is none too large
for me. 1 think the trouble is caused
by our poor pavements. They are SO
hard to walk on that one is compelled
wear large shoes. and when you do your
feet spread out so that you can never
go back 10 your old size again, that is if
you stay here any length of time. -

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-General Will
liam Worth Belknap, President Grants
Secretary of War; who retired in dis
grace, was found dead this morning in
room adjoining his Office at No. 1920

The Advantage of Presence OF Mind n
an Emer1eucy.

The Advantage of Presence OF Mind In
an Emergency.
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad the militia were ordered
to be In readiness in case Of q riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview, Gov Hill said the troops
were not to be called upon except in case of
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
out He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had ex-
perience, and he did not propose to lose his
head; the only point at which there had
been serious trouble was at Syracuse, and
there deputy-sherifi had lost his head and
precipitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities
were able to cope with it withoutcalling on
the militia.
The test of mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes hasty
call on his good judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence Of mind,
maintains his equipoise andexercises sound
discretion at such critical junctures, is to
be relied on and will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the STAYING
qualities which do not falter in the face of
danger. Otis A. Cole, of Kinsman, o,
June 10, 1890, writes: sin the fall Of 1883
/ was feeling very ILL., consulted doctor
and he said had Brights disease of the
kidneys and that he would not stand in my
shoes for the state of Ohio" But he did
not lose courage or give up; he says: 'I
saw the testimonial Of Mr.. John Coleman,
100 Gregory St., New Haven, Conn, and i
wrote to him. In due time received an
answer, stating that the testimonial that
he gave was genuine aud not overdrawn in
any particular. took good many bottles
of Warmers Safe Cure; have not taken any
for one year"
Gov. Hill is accounted very successful
man; he is cool and calculating and belongs
to the class that do not lose their heads
when emergencies arise.

Chambers Raging.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. Oct IL-For
some time past there has been an out
break of glanders in certain portions of
Southwest Texas In the neighborhood
of Cuero, Dewitt County, it has been
especially severe. Efforts to stamp it
out have been unsuccessful, although
many horses and mules have been
slaughtered. The trouble seems
TO be in the lack of State
statute directing that glandorous
animals be killed. The statute
merely requires that glanderous ami
mails be isolated. There is no compen.
sation to the owner of an animal who
kills it to prevent the disease spreading.
