CARVED HIS OWN TOMBSTONE
HARPER's FERRY. w. VA, Oct. 49,
Larry Finlan, native of Ireland, and
for more than forty years resident
of this town, and at one time an en-
ployee in the United States Armory,
died here yesterday, aged seventy
seven years. The deceased, about 10
years ago, conceived the novel idea of
making his tombstone, and procured
piece of slate three by five feet, cut
the apex in the form of cross, chisel-
ed his name, place of birth, and think
ing he would die between the years OF
1888 and 1890, cut the first three fig
ures on the face of the stone, but not
dying at that time, he cancelled the
last figure, and substituted 9, and sent
the stone to his lot in the Catholic
cemetery. Mr.. Finlin was buried to-
day, his tombstone being erected after
the filling of his grave.

WILL GO INTO THE HANDS OF THE
B. & O.-Representatives of the
Bondholders of 1874 have stated au-
thoritatively that the work of the
restoration of the G. & O, Canal will
be commenced at once. They will
employ general superintendent and
an engineer and the work of repairing
the canal will be given out by con-
tract. 1t is expected that the portion
between Williamsport and Cumber-
land will be finished yet this year.
There will be no lack of coal for trans
portation and no competition beween
the B. & O. and canal for the reason
that the B. & o. will control both
these public mprovements and will
run them to suit themselves and will
also do their best to make a good
showing to continue their manage
ment. We confidently believe that
no other corporation or person could
run it so as to pay while the b. & o.
was antagonistic to it, and the B. &.
o. will also make a good showing on
the ditch in order to keep it out of
the hands of rival railroad corpora
ton. 1t makes little difference how
ever, to those interested in the canal,
who does run it if they can get all the
work they want at paying prices.
The B. & o. by their past manage
ment in trying to bankrupt the canal
got into hole themselves and were
compelled to sell some of their hold
ings. Such experiments are very
costly and will hardly be tried again.

A DEEP MYSTERY.
DISCOVERY OF THE SKELE.
TON OF MRS. OSBORNE
OF AUSTIN,
IN A SOUTH TEXAS PRAIRIE.
The Skeleton Identified by the Name on
the Clothing-The Railway to
Llano-Texas Items.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 2O.-These dis
patches two months ago related the finding
of the buggy and trunk and clothes of one
Mrs. T. Osborne, of Austin, on an isolated
prairie in Karnes county. The affair has
been mystery and source of great grief to
the aged lady's friends. Since then every
means has been exerted to trace her where
abouts or learn of her fate. A discovery
was made yesterday which puts still
crueler aspect on the mystery. A cowbov,
in rounding up cattle in one of the big
pastures of Karnes unity on the 10th,
came across the skeleton of a woman in
little clump of bushes. The name on the
tattered clothes showed that the bare bones
and denuded skull was that of Mrs Osborne.
She had been food for the wolves and buzz
yards. Her body was found camille or so
from the spot at which her buggy and
trunk had been discovered two months pre-
viously. Whether the woman was murder.
ed, committed suicide or starved to death on
the prairie is not known nor is it known
how she came to be travelling in the coun-
try alone.

Twelve months ago he wrote a friendly

The Revolt in Honduras.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 21.-The steamer
City of Dallas of the Morgan line has ar

intelligence af the revolt in Spanish Hon.
duras. Capt. Charles Hardie says: 81 I'M
derstand that though the army of Bogran
was victorious, The victory was entirely due
to the valor of the Americans under Maj.
f. A. Burke of New Orleans and James I'm.
began. About an hour before we left a
telegram was received from President Be-
gran, proclaming peace and acknowledge
ing the gratitude of the nation to the Amer
leans for turning the tide in their favor.
Gen. Sanchez was not captured and exc
cuted as reported. He died game. His
son was captured and is reported to have
been executed. Sanchez was the last man
whom Bogran supposed would turn traitor
to him, as he was his confidential adviser
and close friend.

SUIT AGAINST A TRUST.
Action Brought by a New Orleans Firm
Charging Fraudulent Contract.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 21.-Klotz & Fitz-
patrick who owned a large bakery in this
city, were induced in August last TO enter
the American biscuit trust and pool their
earnings. They state that they found that
the company was working against their
interests, and they asked for information,
which was not given them. Klotz e. Co.,
therefore concluded to conduct the business
their own way without consulting the trust.
Yesterday the American Biscuit company
obtained an injunction restraining Klotz
from interfering with their business and
appointing another agent to take charge of
the establishment.
Thereupon Klotz e. Co. filed an applica-
ton averring that they were induced under
false inducements and false representations
to sign documents making their firm a
member of the American Biscuit and Man
ufacturing company. They ask that all
such documents be declared null and void.
They further represent that they have since
ascertained that the object and purposes of
said American Biscuit and Manufacturing
company are violative of state laws, with
which fact the petitioners were not &C
quainted when the combination was made.
This will doubtless be very interesting
contest. The case comes up today.
