COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 22.-The special
train bearing the family, relatives and
immediate friends of the late Gen. Sher-
man left st. Louis on its return to New
York at o'clock last night. Just as the
train started out of the depot a telegram
was thrown on board. 1t proved to be
a message to Rev. Father Sherman from
the Comte de Paris, and was as follows:
Villa Madrique, Feb. 21.-Rev, Father Sher-
man: Receive the expressions of my warm
est sympathy for tine loss of your illustrious
father. l thank God to have given me the
opportunity to pay in his presence fitting
public tribute to his military genius.
CoMTE DE PARIS, Seville, Spain.
The return was the same as in the
outward trip when they left st. Louis,
with the exception of Secretary and
Mrs. Noble, who went West. Gen.
Miles left the train at Effingham. 100
miles east of st. Louis, to go to Chi
cago. At Columbus eX-President

the party gobd-bye: also Judge Ewing,
Col. Hoyt Sherman and family and Nj.

Grant, Gen. Schofield and his secretary,
Lieut. Andrews, will leave and go to
Washington. Secretary Rusk and SEN
atOr Sherman will get off at Phlladel-
phia and 20 to Washington. The run
fro N ST. Louis was devoid of any un-
usual incident. All the black draping
had been stripped from the cars, and
bnt few people who saw the train pass
through the stations along the route
recognized it as the one that only two
days before was the object upon which
the eyes of the public were centered.

writs of error and citations must be
returDa5le to the supreme court by
the lower courts within this
period of thirty days, unless for
some good reason SPECIAL order
is made i'll any case. This change in the
rules is of equal force whether the
court is in session or in vacation, and
unless cases with the records are dock
eted Within the prescribed period of
thirty days they will be dismissed.
Heretofore many months might inter
vene between an appeal and its docket
ing on the records of the court, advan-
age being taken of this privilege in cases
where the principal object of the appeal
was to delay final decision. The atten-
tion of the court was directed to this
state of affairs by the proceedings in the
Jugiro electrocution case, and it was for
the special purpose of meeting these
habeas corpus cases that the new rule
was framed, but it is made of general
application and will affect all cases be-
fore the court. II is thought probable
that the rule will to some extent reduce
the long calendar of cases before the
court.

tiiy.

DENVER. Col, Feb. 22.-The murder
at Salida, Col, last night, which was
followed by the lynching of Oliver
Reilly to-day, takes on an entirely diff

night. The first report was that
Reilly was stealing coal from the rail
road chute when Conductor Sullivan
ordered him away. Instead of obeying,
Reilly shot and killed Sullivan and was
then lynched by the mob. The official
report received here tonight is to the
effect that Reilly was in charge of the
chute. and was attempting to drive one
of Sullivan's men away who was steal
ing the coal. Sullivan interfered, and,
alter war of words, knocked
Reilly down, who then pulled his
gun and shot Sullivan. The mob, not
understanding the facts in the case, at
tempted to take Reilly from the officers.
Several shots were fired and four men
were wounded, one of whom was
Reilly. The prisoner was then dragged
half dead to railroad crossing sign and
hanged, without giving him an opportu-
nifty to say word. A thorough lnvesti-
CATION will De made and the perpetra-
tors punished.
