sary depth of water to do shipping
business. The Denver deep-water
convention, attended by delegates
from nearly every state and territory
west of the Mississippi, showed how
earnest was the demand of the West
for a nearer route to the seaboard,
which lay through Texas, and the ap-
preparation of as large a sum as S.
400, 200 for the work OF deepening the
harbor at Galveston is an indication of
the willingness of congress to Use the
nations resources for this end.
Whether the expenditure of this
money at Galveston will accomplish
what IS claimed for it and what it is
expected to do, is now Of minor conse-
quence to the people outside of that
city. A good deep water harbor any,
where on the Texas coast will meet
the demand of Western traffic, and if
Velasco has obtained, without ma
tional aid, but by superior natural con-
ditions, what Galveston offers as 4 pos
sibility after some years of work and
the expenditure of several millions OF
money, Velasco will reap the advan-
tages of every kind that can come to
the possession of a deep-water ship
ping port.

Harrison and Rla!ue.

From testimony of officers Of the various
executive departments who have been seen
since their return from their lea eS of alb
sence all over the country, the feeling here
is growing daily stronger that the Repub-
ican national convention next year
will offer President Harrison chance to
run for second term unless the November
election shall prove more disastrous to the
Republicans than that of 1889. As many of
these gentlemen are the present friends
and warm admirers Of other candidates, and
working politicians at home with whom
they We talked are also, the
general testimony is significant. OF course
if there should be even a worse rout at
the polls this year than last that would
practically settle the fate of the president.
No Republican seems to entertain serious
apprehension of such a result of the fall
campaign. Few are sanguine Of great gains
but almost all console themselves with the
hope to sweep the country so thoroughly
two years in succession, espe-
cially in view of the efforts
the administration has been making,
since spring to repair breaches and
strengthen doubtful places by fresh drafts
upon its patronage reserves. The Blaine
boom is considered to have had the decided
effect of impressing upon the president that
he must not trust too much to his own
strength, but must lean on the popularity of
his secretary OF state if he hopes
to get through the rest of his sojourn in the
White House without disaster. The fact
that the president discovered his ability
to transact MIR. Biaine's business rs well as
Blaine could do it himself Is believed to
have somewhst weakened the bond between

guilty knowledge Of the plot The presi-
dent of the insurance company thought
that there was leak in his own Office. It
was curious, to say the least, that wom-
an. dressed to impersonate the widow,
should get the money only a few moments
before the genuine check was presented.
A detective on being called in questioned
all the parties concerned, but not ray of
light appeared. He was given full swing
in the case. His first act was to send
man to trace the movements OF the party
who cashed the bogus check. Then he ar
ranged to send a man to the bank to keep
a close watch on the cashier, aud another
to tine insurance Office TO ferret out what
ever suspicious circumstances might exist
there. Both masqueraded ss new en-
ployes, and naturally had to be able to at

Pennsylvania's Urban Ponulatton

A recent census bulletin says that there
has been large increase in the urban pop

Of l.6os,523. Under the present census
there are eighty-two cities and boroughs
which have 1000 or more inhabitants, with
an aggregate population of 2,3es, 60Z. This
shows net increase in the number of
cities of this class Of twenty-six, while the
difference in population between the total
for the cities Of 1000 or more in 1890 and
1850 is 7lo,0s4, an increase of 4a.Sl per cent.
Philadelphia shows an increase of 1879 194.
or PISS per cent. Pittsburg shows an in
crease of s., 22s, or 81. So per cent. Allegheny
City, Scranton, Reading, Erie, Wilkes

THE most shameful thing that has
happened in connection with the brain
less rush on Oklahoma, was the shoot
ing of horse because his rider DISC
beyed the order 10 keep off OF a town
site. The rider, disdaining these or
ders, spurred across the boundary, and
the officer commanding the troops
fired on the horse and killed it-an in
nocent victim to his masters rashness.
Capt Jack Hays, who gave the order
to shoot the horse, would be somewhat
better an officer if he were disciplined
and taught that the life of an animal
has some claims to respect.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 4.-Near Quincy,
100 miles east of Cincinnati, to-day Thomas
Carr, = farmer thirty years old,
killed his wife, her sister and him
self. They lived with his wifes
parents, james Evans and wife, and Mrs.
Evans received several severe cuts, one of
which, three inches long, laid bare her
brain. She was able to testify at the cor
oner's inquest, however, and told the story
of the killing. She said the trouble
arose from jealousy on the part of
Carr. Carr had qualrreled with his
wife last night. This morning he went out.
to cut some corn, and his wife followed
him TO gather beans. When Mrs. Carr re-
turned she said her husband was going
away. a few minutes later Carr came up
with knife and attacked them.

Now here were several men at work on
different branches of the case each attend
ing to matter which of itself did not ap-
parently amount to great deal. Not one
of the operatives knew the full significance
Of his inquiries. The controlling mind
was that of the chief, who alone intended
to set the trap for the capture of the for.
gers.
The man who traced the guilty couples
movements after leaving the bank reported
that the woman had registered at an up
town hotel as from Washington. Inquiry
at Washington showed that no such woman
was known there. But she had left me-
mento at the hotel in the shape of u visit
ing card, which bore the name Of man
who was cutting quite dash in society.
This man was placed under surveillance
1t was ascertained after a great deal Of
wearisome work that he was a skillful
forger; that he had wormed himself into
the confidence of the cashier of the insur-
ance company and found out not only that
the check was to be paid that particular
day, but its number; that he had put up
the scheme of impersonating the widow
and her lawyer, and that the very audaciIy
Of the project had carried it successfully
through
The links in this remarkable chain of de-
lection were the product of ingenuity COM
bined with the skillful handling Of subor-
dinates who were working largely in the
dark. All told, one dozen men were en-
gagged on the different qualifications of the
affair. No one was capable of handling it
alone.
To be able to watch a lamppost all night
without wearying, to never lose the slight
est movement of a man under surveillance,
aid to be ready at any moment to jump TO
a conclusion which may entail eternal ridi-
cule with fighting chance Of its turning
out beneficial to the case in hand-these
are some Of the risks detective has to run

Union Pacific.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-The government
directors of the Union Pacific railway COM
pany have filed with the secretary of the
interior their annual report in part as fol
lows: For the year 1890 as com
pared with 1889 the gross earn
ings of the Union Pacific railway
increased 1861. 643 while the net earning
decreased Sl.O11, 800. For same period the
gross earnings of all roads in the entire
system increased s3,359,64S, whilst net
earnings decreased Sl,417,962. The cause
of the diminution in net earnings
was mostly of general character common
to all railroads of the West, and arose
chiefly from the exceedingly low rates pre-
vailing over the greater part Of the terri
tory covered by the system.
