A Prscions Bedstaad.

An English lady resident in Syria re-
ports the following interesting discovery
in the neighborhood of Beyrout: In viii
lage about one hours ride from the
French road between Beyrout and Da-
mascus was found bedstead made of
gold and silver, and inlaid with precious
stones. An inscription upon it in English
characters states that it belonged to
Eleanor, Queen of England. The bed
stead was discovered in a little recess
dug out for the purpose within a natu-
raj cave, and must have been placed
there for security when Edward I left
the East in 1872.
The Turkish government has taken
possession of the treasure trove, though
the prevailing opinion in the district
seems to be that it should remain the
property of the man on whose land it
was found. 1t would be interesting to
know what the Turks propose to do with
it. But if the inscription calls Eleanor
Queen of England the words can not
have been placed upon it before Edward
left Syria, as he did not hear of his faith
er's death until he reached Italy. There
can, however, be little doubt that the
bedstead has been buried in the earth
for the last six centuries

His First Railroad Ride.

A railroad engineer, says the Boston
Journal, on the Boston and Maine saw
a man on the track waving at him few
days ago, and his mind being filed with
the possibility of impending danger,
stopped the train. Every one was in a
high state of excitement, but the man
coolly boarded the smoking car without
uttering word. He looked as if he had
not travelled far from his native heath,
and on being questioned said: wall, I
just waved my hand COS wanted to
get on the keers. Pm going ter Wells
and never been on the keers before.
He spoke, it is said, with an unmistak-
able air of innocence, and raised such
food of good nature that the conductor
silently took his fare, and when he was
landed at Wells he was loudly cheered
in honor of his first ride.

was submitted corroborative of the state

one of Mr.. O'Mahoney's physicians to the

NORTHERN PACIFIC DIRECTORS.
A Plan for Their Election for Three
Years Instead of One.

Years Instead of One.
New YORK, Special Telegram Oct. IA
The expediency of electing the new board
of Northern Pacific directors for three
years instead of one year is under consid-
Grafton. The charter provides for such a
tenure OF office. Heretofore the whole of
the directors have been chosen annually.
1t is likely that the next dividend on the
preferred stock will be at the rate of per
cent per annum instead Of per cent and
the matter of the division of the
surplus which belongs to the pre-
ferred stockholders will also come
up. This surplus, which amounts to
about $3OOO,000, belongs to the preferred
stockholders as of right under the plan of
reorganization. This TACT has always been
recognized, and it was officially put on rec
ord at the last annual meeting. The only
thing to be decided is the time and the form
OF the dividend.
1t has not yet been decided who will go
into the board in the place of the late Fred
erick Billings, bot there is not likely to be
any important change. Mr.. Billings was
counted as neutral man and was not de-
pendent upon either the Willard or the Har.
ris following.

Recommendation Service,

LONDON, Oct. 14.-The bishop of London
to-day performed special reconsecration
service in st. Paui's cathedral to purge the
edifices from the defilement caused by the
suicide which occurred in the hi toric
building on Sept, %. According to old
traditions of the church the shedding of
human blood in place dedicated to God
deprives the building of its sacred char
acter, which can only be restored by new
conservation. A service similar to the one
performed to-day is unprecedented in the
history of the cathedral.

GEN. BELKNAP DEAD.
Grants Secretary of War Found Dead
in His Bed.


WASHINGTON Oct. 14.-Gen. William Bel
KNAPP, ex-secretary of war, was found dead
in bed this morning in his room in the
Evans building in this city. The room in
which he was found joined his office rooms
and was only occupied by the general dur
ing his wife's absence from the city. Gen.
Belknap was last seen alive on Saturday
night about midnight when he was on his
way to his rooms.
The autopsy disclosed the fact that the
immediate cause OF death was inflammation
OF the inner lining of the heart. For some
years past Gen. Belknap has been an al
most constant sufferer from gout. and in
February last he had so severe an attack
that he hardly lett his room for three
months or more. During that time he lost
in flesh between thirty and forty pounds,
and since then he has been in poor health.
In consequence of his long illness his
business has suffered and this had worried
him at times.
AS soon as the death of Gen. Belknap was
known at the war department Acting Secre-
tary Grant ordered the flag on the building
to be put at half-mast in honor of the ex-
secretary. and gave directions that the
building be draped in black for the custom
mary period, As soon as the 4uneral ar
rangements are completed an order will be
issued, clOSlng the department on the Gay
OF the funeral.
Gen. William w. Belknap was the son OF w.
G. Belknap. OF the United States army, and was
born i'll Hudson, n. Y, i'll 1881. He graduated
at Princeton college in 1913 and, adopting the
profession of law, settled at KeOkuk Iowa. He
was elected to the Iowa legislature in lS49, and
at the beginning of the War of the Rebellion, in
1861, he entered the military service as major
general OF volunteers. He fought i'll the battles
of Shiloh and Ncksburg, and with Gen.
Sherman i'll his great campaign, and for bravery
and gallant service he received successive pro-
motions until he was given the-cOmmand OF a
division as major general. After the War he was
appointed a collector of internal revenue, which
position he held until he entered President
Grants cabiuet Oct. 13, 1869, as secretary OF
war. This office he retaint during Gen. Grant S
second administration until March, 1876, when
in consequence OF charges of official corruption
he resigned. He was impeached and tried before
the senate for receiving brbes for the appoint
ment of post traders and was acquitted on the
technical ground of want of jurisdiction.

Most people, when they hear of corn
fed oysters, laugh at what they take to
be little extravaganza intended to cons
vey the idea of fatness, the association
of ideas with extreme fatness and corn
fed hogs being natural. But corn fed
oysters are as much fact as corn fed
hogs. Oyster cultivation in all the bays
and sounds of the East is conducted with
as much science as the cultivation of
agricultural products, and in many
places on the Chesapeake Bay the oyster
farmer every morning strews with O
liberal hand upon the surface of the
water covering his beds of the bivalves,
quantities of finely ground corn meal,
which rapidly sinks to the bottom and is
devoured or absorbed by the gaping
shell fish, the result being an especially
fat and luscious oyster.
