Grounds Upon which the Burlington.

Towa Commissieners' Orders.
DIES MoIEEs, Oct. s0.--The case of
the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern. appellee, versus Peter A. Dey,
Spencer Smith and u. T. Campbell, rail-
road commissioners of the State of Iowa,
appellants, from the Johnston district
court has come up In the supreme
court.
The argument Of the railway attor-
neys was that the joint rate law is un-
constitutional on the ground that it
seeks TO compel roads to enter into con-
tract relations with other railway COM
panies without consent, to surrender cars
TO other companies or 10 unload them
without compensation, and TO part with
equipment to other companies, thereby
imperiling and embarrassing It's ability
to furnish transportation for its own
line In accordance with It's duty as q
common carrier. They also hold that
the law h void on account of the omis-
sion by the printer of line in the third
section, making that section meaning
less. IL b probable that no opinion viii
be filed until the next term of court.

The coroner's jury held Voolfolk ac-
countable for the crime. Blood was
found ON his body, and his undercloth-
ing. The garments he had worn on the
day Of the murder were found, soaked
IN blood, in an old well. Woolfolk's
trial lasted ten days. An attempt was
made 20 show that the crime was COM
mitted by negro desperate, but the
jury found Voolfolk guilty, after being
out twenty minutes. Voolfolk was
sentenced TO be hanged on Feb. 10, 1888,
but the supreme court of the state
granted him new trial. After many
leg al impediments had been overcome,
voolfolk was sentenced TO be hanged
Aug. 10, 1889, but legal technicalities
were again interposed. On Oct. Z, 1890,
he was resentenced 10 be hanged at this
date. Woolfolk's motive for the crime
was . desire 10 obtain possession Of his
fathers property, which he feared
would go to his fathers second wife and
her children.

TONGUE poInrE HORROR AGAIN


One of the Supposed Victims Found After
Meaths of Aimlass Wandering.
MONTREAL, Oct. 30.--Last May, when
the Tongue Pointe insane asylum was
burned, IL was believed that over 100
people were burned In II. Many pa
tients escaped but II was supposed they
had oil been re-captured. Among those
In the asylum, but missing, was the
wife OF Amadee Gauthier, farmer of
St. Laurent. IL was thought she had
been burned. Early Tuesday morning
Gauthier, accompanied by neighbor,
was coming into town with wagon
load OF produce when they saw
woman
Lying Beside the Road.
They reused her and asked her what she
was doing there. She said she was hunt
ing for the road to St. Laurent and had
travelled for many weeks, mentioning
places she had visited In Lower Quebec,
200 miles from Montreal. Gauthier
asked her TO get into his wagon and he
would drive her to . hotel further on.
As she stepped into the wagon he flashed
his lantern into her face and dropped IL
with an exclamation almost of terror.
The woman he had found was his own
wife, who he supposed was dead, and
whom he had not seen fer over eighteen
months They drove her home at once,
where 1t was found that abe was
HALF starved and Nearly Dead
with cold. She Is incapable of telling o
coherent story of her wanderings since
her escape from the asylum fire, but her
sufferings must have been terrible, as |
her feet and limbs are blistered and
sore There u great excitement In the
village over the affair, and the simple
people look upon Mrs. Gauthier's return
