EARNINGS DECREASED.

OFF For January.

The burlington Shows a Serious Falling
OFF For January.
CHICAGO, March THE statement OF
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail
road Co. for January, compared with
that of the corresponding month of last
year, shows: Gross earnings, So, 329, ,S36,
a decrease of S3S7,57 operating ex-
penses, S1,715,O ,O81, decrease of SIC, 500.
The net earnings, after allowing for all
expenses and charges except dividends,
show deficit of $177, ,251, against net
earnings of S1s7, 252 in $780, or a de-
crease of 1859, 5O4.
Vice-President Peasley says: Zone
considerable cause of the falling off in
January earnings as compared with last
year was the failure of the corn crop in
1890. The gross earnings from the
transportation of corn from points west
of the Missouri river in the month of
January, 1890, were 100000, while in
the same month this year from the
same points they were only $4,000.
It appears that the falling off in rev.
enue was certainly, if not entirely, on
the lines west of the Missouri river
The statistics compiled by Chairman
Midgely, of the western freight associa-
ton. last week showed that the Bur-
lington road between Chicago and Kan
sas City made much better comparative
showing than any other line between
those points.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
"A Bank Cashier shot-The Closing of His
Bank Intensifies the Mystery-The Cash
ier's Statement.

"A Bank Cashier shot-The Closing of His
Bank Intensines the Mystery-The Cash
ier's Statement.
MCPHERSON, Kan, March 5.-A great
sensation was caused here Monday
morning when it was reported that G.
A Heggelund, cashier of the Second
national bank, had been badly shot at
Herington by the accidental discharge
of his revolver. This was increased at
10 o'clock that morning when the bank
closed its doors because of inability to
collect on solvent notes.
Still more excitement was caused
about noon when it became known that
Heggelund had not been shot at Herring
ington, but had received his wound in
this city, whether by his own hand or
as the result of an attempted assassina-
ton could not be learned.
The wounded mans condition was
such that he could not talk and all sorts
of theories arose. The generally accept
ed one was that he had tried to end his
own life because of depression caused
by the knowledge that the bank which
he had almost made and in which was
all his worldly wealth was unable to
meet its liabilities.
Yesterday, however, the case became
more mysterious than ever for, accord
ing to Heggelund's own statement his
wound was inflicted by an unknown
assassin. The statement dictated to
friend was as follows:
Sunday evening went on the III O'Clock
Rock Island train far as Herington was
on my way to Kansas City. / went into the
lunch room at Herington and when came
out my train had gone. ] took the return
train for Mcpherson. / came on the Rock

closet someone unknown TO me placed a re-
Yolver at my breast and shot me. I could
not tell who it was. It was too dark. / fell

came I'm the back way and knocked about
three times before my wife rose and let me
i'm. was suffering so much pain that / was
unable to tell her what had happened. Ihad
no pistol with me. C. A. HEGGELUND.
Heggelund had tried to make this
statement on one or two occasions be-
fore, but could not do so, being unable
to talk
Heggelunds pistol was found since
his return in the place where it was
usually kept. This settles all rumors
of suicide

GALLATIN, March 3.-The excitement
over the barn-burners is unabated. A
strong guard was placed at the jail last
night, the sheriff thinking that it was
probable that a mob would visit the jail
and take the firebugs out and lynch
them. Since the hanging of Fred Hay
ME, few days ago, other members OF
the gang have been arrested and lodged
in jail, awaiting to be tried for burning
up about $25, 900 worth of property, in
cluding large number of stock. Several
imported stations were burned, and
the people are aroused and will take the
law in their own hands if justice is not
meted out to Tom Williams, Abe You're,
Andrew Yepps and four others who are
now in Jail.
People from every district of the coun-
R focked to Gallatin today, thinking
they would have their trial, but it was
postponed. Sheriff Terry has moved his
family from the Jail, and he and his
deputies are heavily armed, expecting
a visit from mob. The sheriff is very
determined, and if an attempt is made
to take the prisoner there will be blood
shed before their purposes are fulfilled.
There is no longer any doubt but what
they have the right parties, and all Will
get long sentences if not hung.

Damages for an Injured Eye.

MEMPHIS, March 5.-The jury in the
case of Maggie Sewell against the Bir-
mingham Railway returned verdict
yesterday afternoon awarding her 81, 500
on account of the injuries she received
while passenger on one of the B1r-
bingham Railway trains. Miss Sewell
lives at Texarkana, Ark. She was en-
route last September to Atlanta, Ga, to
attend school when she received the in
jury. The brakeman had neglected to
unfasten the bell cord in the Memphis
yards when the sleeper was being
switched off. The cord was dragged
rapidly through the remaining cars, and
it broke the glass door of the coach in
which Miss Sewell was sitting, throw
ing particles of glass in her eye. The
metal end of the cord also struck that
sensitive member. AS a result she was
unable to attend school and was sick for
several weeks. Miss Sewell has never
fully recovered her sight, and the eye
remains distorted.

Death of a Noted Woman.

JACKSON, March 5. - News was re-
ceived here today of the death, in Ches-
ter County, of Mrs. Bland, formerly wife
of the great land pirate John A.
Murrell, who was leader of one of the
most daring gangs of murderers, horse
and negro slave thieves, the operations OF
which extended over several Southern
States, forty years ago, and one of the
most successful organizations known in
this country. Murrell was finally cap
tured and sentenced for horse-stealing,
and after serving his sentence, moved
to the mountains In East Tennessee and
died a reformed man. His wife was a
quiet and most estimable woman, and
married a man named Bland after her
first husbands imprisonment.

The Widow of the Guatemalan General
Files n Claim For 81 ,OO0, ,OOO.

WASHINGTON, March 5. Transita
Hurtarte, widow of Gen. ]. Martin Bar
rundia, in her own name and as the
representative of her six minor daugh-
ters, and Ramon Bengoechea as the
representative of his wife, Teresa Bar
rundia Bengoechea, have filed with the
secretary of state a claim against the
United States for 81, 600, 900 for having
surrendered Gen. Barrundia to the
Gautemalan authorities, at whose hands
he lost his life.
There is defect in this claim which
in the opinion of the state department
officials will prove fatal to it and that
is the fact that it is made by citizens of
a foreign country, without the knowl-
edge and consent of that country. 1t is
said at the department that il is well
established principle in this country
as well as nearly all others that claims
of the citizens of one country against
another are recognized only when pre-
sented in the name of the country of
which the claimant is citizen.

there was one other matter to be at

room was crowded with members of the
bar, Gov Buchanan and other State Off
