George D. Moore, travelling freight agent
of the Wabash, with headquarters at
Moberly, Mo-, is in the city.
Col J. Gordon Taylor, general livestock
agent of the Atchison-Frisco, is distributing

The Cotton Belt management has shown
great activity in bridge building of late. It
has completed an iron and steel draw bridge
across the Ouachita river at Camden, Ark,
800 feet long, the strongest and best bridge
in that state. 1t has also completed an iron
and steel draw 42S feet in length at Pine
Bluff across the Arkansas, the fourth larg-
est drawbridge in the world. 1t has also
completed an iron and steel bridge across
the St. Francis river, on the Arkansas
Missouri division.
An official of the Pennsylvania lines, in
speaking of the frequency with which their
trains are late in arriving West, said that
every month made it more evident that the
Pennsylvania proper, from New York to
PittSburg, must be converted into four
track line, and the track doubled from
Pittsburg to its western terminal before
trains can be moved as promptly as they
should be. The freight traffic east of Pitts
burg will keep two tracks busy, and the
passenger business would furnish all the
business which can well be done on the
other two tracks.
The Centralia and Chester is progressing
nicely with track-laying and the managers
are equipping their road very substantially.
They have just received a new locomotive
and complete passenger train. This train
and engine are of the latest design, and
would be credit to one of the trunk lines.
The locomotive is one of Baldwin's latest.
The train was built by the ST. Charles car
company, and is complete in every detail.
The first-class coach is of mahogany finish,
has Scarritt high back seat, ladies' and gem
tlemen's toilet-rOoms, etc. The smoker is
very nice, and the mail and baggage car is
model of convenience and beauty.
An English railway engineer has in
vented useful adjunct to the ordinary
semaphore signal, consisting of whistle
operated by compressed air. When the
blade is at danger spring lever is made to
rise so as lie along the inner side of the rail.
This lever projects Slightly above the rail,
| and when depressed by the wheels of a
passing engine piercing shrek is emitted
by the whistle at the side of the track.
This combination of visible and audible
signals affords additional assurance of
safety.

Great McCarthyite Victory.

CORK, Nov John e. Redmond, the de-
feated candidate, after the result of the
poll had been announced, attended a meet
ing of Parnellites, where he delivered an
address. During the course of his remarks
he declared that. though majority of the
electors OF Cork city had refused to support
his candidacy, he was determined to con-
tinue the struggle for acknowledgment by
the people of Ireland of the justice of the
policy pursued by the Parnellites.
William Redmond also delivered an ad-
dress. He said he regretted that the prin-
ciples of the Parnellites had not been sup
ported by the electors of Cork city, and he
denounced the interference of the priests in
the election. He attributed the defeat of
the Parnellites' candidate to the tactics
which the priests had employed to coerce
voters.
Troops and large bodies of police lined
the street where the polls was declared
and the vast crowds were raised to high
pitch of enthusiasm when the result was
made known, although Flavin's election
was anticipated by reports from the count
ing room and from the utterance sof the
party leaders and others capable of forming
an opinion upon the subject. The majority of
the McCarthyites' candidate was, however,
much larger than was expected.

THE BONES WERE FOUND.
After Twenty Years, n Widow Searches for
Her Husbands Remains

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. Thirty
years ago in Uvalde county, near the town
of Dhanis, Henry Schumacher was shot and
killed by Michael Wepf, now a prosperous
resident of Eagle Pass. 1t was war time
and the country was disturbed. Wepf was
constable, and met Schumacher IN the
road Schumacher had gun which he
carried in fear of soldiers or Indians.
Wepf demanded its surrender and in the
consequent stru ggle Schumacher was slain.
He was buried and little more was thought
of it. He left wife. Mary Schumacher,
and after the lapse of time she went West.
Two days agy she came to re-
cover her husbands bones but
so rapid has been the settlement
of the country that all trace of Schumaker's
burial spot was lost. Finally boy named
Nye came to the rescue. He had heard of
the occurrence and prospected for Schuma-
ker's body He finally unearthed the bones
in the very middle of the public road which
runs from Dhanis to Uvalde and Tor twenty
years the traffic of the country had
been driven over the resting place
of the dead man. All signs
of the coffin was gone His clothing had
disappeared, but lying on the breast bone in
regular order were six pearl buttons which
his wife had sewed on his shirt the morn
ing Of his death. There were also pair of
sleeve buttons, a collar button and
a ring, which established the ident-
ity of the bones, and they have
been brought here and re-interred in the
city cemetery. When Schumacher was
killed there was public graveyard within
five feet of the spot where he fell. The
country at that time was open prairie. 1t
has since grown up thickly with mesquite,
old fences have rotted away and old land
marks yielded to time The recovery of
his body is little short of the marvellous.

The Cause of tho Failure.

deposits are close to $500, 600. The failure
is due almost entirely TO the fact that the
bank has been carrying large amount of
paper for business men in this section
and in the lumber country, who have
been unable to meet their obligations.
The bank has branch here, which was a
very important source Of revenue. It was
started some time ago with the consent Of
the comptroller. About a month ago the
comptroller decided that the branch must
close up in accordance with the policy
not to allow branch banks to do
business. This move would deprive
the main bank of such a large
line of business that 1t would hurt them Sc
riously in their present condition. and the
fear was it would cause run which they
Id not stand. The officers say that the
depositors will get every dollar due them.

A British Lie Denied.

CHICAGO, Ill, Nov IA private letter
received in Chicago to-day from Berry W..
Wells, one of the officers of the United
States steamship Baltimore, by his father,
thoroughly explodes the assertion of the
British naval officers that the Baltimore
acted as spy on the Gillian insurgents
when the latter made their famous landing
at Quintero. The officers of H. NJ. S. Cham
pion, according to dispatches printed this
morning from Victoria, 3. c., declare that
when the landing took place the Champion
was lying along side the Baltimore at Valpa-
riso and that the Baltimore steamed around
the point to Quintero, watched the entire
debarkation of the Congressionalists and
then deliberately returned to the govern
ment wharf at Valparaiso reporting the inl-
portant information gained to the officials
hostile to the junta. Wells says the Bal
timore was not at Valparaiso, but was at
Coquimbo and did not reach Valparaiso
until the evening after the debarkation of
the CongreSSionaliStS.

eating the dealings of the HOWELL Humber

return false weights for cars of lumber and
thereby were able to get differences in the

that in this way the Howells were the
gamers by many thousands of dollars and
that their action was in direct violation of
the provisions of the interstate commerce

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE superior in
terest in the elections diverted attention
from the statement issued by the treasury
department on Monday concerning the al
legged condition of the debt and the actual
magnitude of receipts and expenditures, as
compared with those of October, 1880.
The secretary of the treasury paraded his
usual -" fuddle' about the cash balance,
giving the unavailable items of subsidiary
coin and deposits in the national bank de-
positories to make up S39,61l ,92G, whereas
the actual available cash with
out these unavailable items
was s., 42S, 200. But the secretary is unable
to hide the facts revealed in the compare
tive statement of receipts and Expenditures.
Since July the receipts exceeded the
expenditures only about $500,
900, while in the same period
last year the receipts exceeded
the exp mixtures by s., 900, 900. But in DC
topor Of this year the receipts were less by
more han $:}.O00,00O than the expenditures

Suing a Bonaparte for Divorce.

LONDON, Nov. THE Evening News of
this city to-day publishes story which is
designed to create a great sensation in
many circles of society. 1t is to the effect
that Rossalie Bonaparte has filed petition
asking for divorce from her husband, Louis
Clevarings Bonaparte. This action is the
outcome of rather complicated series of
matrimonial events which had their origin
in the divorce suit instituted against Ros
sale by her former husband. In this last
mentioned suit, Louis Clevarings Bona
parte was charged by the husband with
having been criminally intimate with Ros-
sale. His allegations We're supported by
the evidence, and the divorce prayed for
was granted.
The relations between Rossalie and Louis
eliminated in their marriage, the latter as
Stunning on that occasion the name of Cley-
arings Louis Clevarings Bonaparte is the
son of Prince Louis Lucien Bonaparte, who
died few days ago. Prince Louis Lucien,
however, did not acknowledge Louis
Clevarings as his son until October IL last.
Two days later Louis Clevarings contracted
a marriage with Laura Scott, and it is his
living with the latter as his wife which
constitutes the ground for divorce asked by

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE reason why
the Republicans elected their representa-
tive in congress from the Fifth Michigan
district Yes, l will tell you,' said ex
Postmaster-GeneralD Don NJ. Dickinson.
1.-The vote was divided be-
tween the Republican card i late and
two Democratic candidates. The combined
strength of the straight Democrat and of
larger than the vote by which the Republi
can was elected. In the national campaign
the vote will go to the Democratic candi-
date'
"Of course he said, s'every one
who was associated with Cleveland's
administration must rejoice over
the result in New York, Massachusetts and
Iowa. Campbell made glorious fight in
Ohio and deserves great credit for it. re-
greet he is not to serve another term as gov
ernor, but Mckinley's election is not much
of victory for the Republicans.
To be decisive, he should have
carried the state as German carried Mary
land. With the national party organiza-
ton straining every nerve in his behalf he
should have been elected by d very much
larger majority than he got. From party
point of view Mckinley's election, think,
will prove benefit to the Democrats mas
much as it will compel the Republicans
to stand up to fight in defense of the Nc
Kinley law. That is, of course, what we
Democrats want. If Mckinley had been
beaten the Republicans would probably
now be looking around for some other is
sue. l think the Democracy is sure
of success in 1892 on the
tariff issue. The tariff will be
the issue upon which the campaign will be
fought. do not think the silver question
will figure in the campaign. l think there
will be legislation of tentative char
acter on that subject by the Fifty
second congress. 1 doubt its being
possible to get free-coinage bill through
the senate. The margin is very narrow,
and in the last senate the force-bill fight
had a great deal to do with the vote on
silver. But if free-coinage bill should
be passed by both houses of con-
gress, the probabilities are that it
would be vetoed, and this consideration
would probably lead to some experimental,
perhaps temporary, financial legislation
which will carry the whole question over
until after the national election
