At last arrived at my destination. by
my old friend Lieutenant Liebrechts. u

Liebrechts; we were very old friends,

change In this Station at Bolobo since
first saw It in 1883! There had been
much trouble between whites and ma
tives then. and the Station-houses had
been burned to the ground; even now
the grounds we're encircled by high
stout palisade. Nice. well-kept houses
and stores had been built. There
were also flocks OF goats and sheep,
good poultry-yards full Of fowls and
ducks. and immense plantations Of
sweet potatoes. maize. and peanuts.
and gardens of vegetables. What was
more important still. the relations
with the formerly unfriendly and hos
tile rstives were now Of most salts
factory nature in every way.
The villagers OF all the surrounding
country we're constantly visiting the
Station and exchanging presents.
Markets had been re-established for
the sale Of food. pottery, and native
produce. and ng-standing feuds be-
tween the different tribes were AMIGA
bly, settled BY the happy intervention
OF Liebrechts. 1t Is such as he who are

Ibaka's word. which at one time COM

but little regarded. His title of chief
OF Bolobo was OF small value; he had

BAT CAVE CULLINGS.

Manned Flores was arrested across the
creek after midnight, by officers Brown
and Daniels, for carrying pistol. His
case was continued by the recorder this
morning.
An interesting docket of IA cases was
had in the police court this morning. The
fines amounted to S43.
Almost every fine afternoon, West Com
merce street at the junction of Sole
dad street and Main plaza, about five or
six o'clock, is so crowded with vehicles,
that the officers on those beats are kept
busy relieving the blockades that cOntin-
ually form on that crowded thoroughfare.

all in style from checkered trousers to
stiff silk hat, was arrested by Officer

grant who kept a kind of an am
ateur robbers den in the federal build
ing basement, was fined five dollars
or ten days in the bat cave for being a
Vag. He took the ten days board. The
little vagabond is a pretty hard nut for
his age, and is one of the gang which has
been perpetrating some petty sneakiSh
theftS. He helped get away Dullnig's
tobacco, recently carried off in broad day
light.
N. B. Ware, a stOckman of Wilson

WILL WALDRON WIN?
Mrs. Jennie Calefs Husband After
Dramatic Correspondent for
Alleged Libel.

Manager A. f. Waldron, of the defunct
Jennie Calef company, is hot in the
touchy part of his spinal column, the
cause of his anger being a letter written
from San Antonio by Stage Manager AL
bert E. AIDE, of RiSche'S theatre. to the
New York Dramatic News, of March p,
in which that gentleman severely ar
raignS Manager Waldron in regard to his
treatment of the members of the defunct
Calef company. The letter, which is too
long for republication here, alleges that
the management owes every man in the
company, some of them twelve weeks,
pay. ln the article he further complains
of having been left utterly destitute by
the manager of the company. The state

the Dramatic News, though pretty strong

case.
When Mr.. Waldron read the commun-

reporter, he sought the writer, and
threatened to have him arrested and
placed in the lookup inside of two hours..
II he did not sign a paper presented to him
by Manager WaldrOn, in which AIDE was
made to diSclaim having written the let
ter. Having already seen trouble
through his connection with Manager
Waldron, and desiring to have peace, he
signed the paper.
Not satisfied with this, Mana

Mr.. AIDE says that he has told the truth

Ancient Gloves.

From the New York Ledger.
There is nothing new under the
sun. The carving of long glove has
been found in a hole where cave
jewellers once lived. Just when these
strange people existed has not been
decided, but it was thousands and
thousands ofyears ago, and the sculp-
tured glove is the same shape as the
many button ones worn by fashion,
able ladies of the present. The gloves
OF the ante-glacial occupants of a cave
are supposed to have been made of
roughly dressed skin sewed with
needles of bone; but they were worn
just the same, and the general pattern
remains unchanged. There is plenty
OF other evidences that gloves are of
very remote origin, although none
that goes back 20 far. The Anglo
Saxons wore gloves in the seventh
century, but the men were the ones
then to observe the custom. the ladies
covering their hands with their
sleeves. Earlier than this, Norman
oInclals and high personages of that
country covered their hands, and in
many places in the Bible the word
shoe' is used when scholars main
tain 1t means "glove."

CHICAGO, Feb. IL. AT a meeting of

was decided to give thirty days notice Of
withdrawal from the Western Passenger
association. The vote was unanimous,
although the Burlington and the Chi

it as long as there remained the slight
est hope of winning over the majority.
When the Western Passenger assOcia-
ton rose from the ashes of the old
Western States Passenger association it
was made to embrace all the territory
between Chicago and the Rocky mount
aims. By the action to-day all the lines
west of the Missouri river withdrew
from this association and cast their lot
with the Trans-MiSsouri association,
their object being to avoid confusion in
the dividing of the territory in the
Western Traffic association and to sat

NEW BRIDGE AT ALTON.
The @. b. & Q. Will Cross the
River INDEPENDENTLY.

ALTON, ILL.,, Feb. 12--It has been
definitely announced that the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy road will build a
steel bridge across the Mississippi river
at Alton. A large corps of civil en-
gineers has been surveying and taking
soundings of the river here for two
months past. 1t IS affirmed on official
authority that the contract for grading
track from point opposite Alton
down the west shore of the Mississippi
into st. Louis has been let to con-
struction company of st. Louis.
There are many reasons why the
Chicago, Burlington IL Quincy wants to
bridge. The company now pays, it is
said, $500.000 year for the privilege of
crossing the bridge at st. Louis and as
much more for the use of terminals. 1t
has recently invested S1,0O0,000 in ex-
tensive property in North ST. Louis and
by crossing the river here it will form
connecting link between the two great
systems of the company. east and west
of the Mississippi. This will make the
run from Chicago to st. Louis seven
miles shorter than the old route and the
road will enter the city on its own
ground 1t is rumored that the Big
Four and st. Louis, Alton & Springfield
railIoads are also in the scheme, and
will cross the river here.
