ago one X. d. Jones came to the Coast from Ne

SPRINGFIELD. Aug. 1S.-The train which
carried Reid and party to Springfield from
Chicago, stopped at Joliet, Braidwood,
Pontiac. Chehoa and Bloomington, where
short addresses were made on the rear of
the platform car. When Bloomington
was reached a large crowd was awaiting
the arrival of the train. Mr.. Messick in
troduced Mr.. Reid as the future vice presi-
dent. In responding Reid said:
He must enter protest against the bad Wall
street habit OF discounting the future. Bloom
ington has been known as ranking we'll among
the beautiful and prosperous cities of
your state, but il is too much for
you to expect to have at one and
same time the next governor OF the state of
Illinois and the next vice president. As you all
know that one good turn deserves another, we
will take it az settled that the governor OF
Illinois is to come again as he comes now from
Bloomington.

says: THE Middle Georgian. always a poll

or other positions wherein. besides being ridicu-

tons chat no subsequent differences in culture
or fortune were destined to change. Indeed,
the first settlers in Middle Georgia, although
who ever came from the old states or remained
therein, organized society on scale of simplest
democracy. In general, every neighbor used
to sit at every other neighbours board, neither

A Story of Ex-senator Bowen,

heard curious story OF ex-senator Bowen
yesterday. writes Frank @. Carpenter in the
New York Herald. He lives, you know, at Del
Norte, aud he has one or two good mines which
have been noted for their pockets rather than
for valuable quartz veins. The trouble with
such mines is you can never tell when they are
going to play out, Sometimes you strike It
very rich, and 1t seems as though you were
going TO make q fortune in q month, but before
the week is out your pocket may be exhausted.
Bowen had struck some very valuable finds of
this KIND. He had made about 10000, and
with his hopeful heart he supposed his profits
would steadily continue, and his visions we're
those of Monte Cristo or Of Aladdin when he
first tried the lamp. He took his goo, 900 and
came TO New FORK to show the brokers of the
effete east how TO do business, and while in the
city he made one or two successful turns and
was more happy and more hopeful than ever
1t was during this time at the Gilsey house,
one evenng-it must have been after dinner
that he met an admiring Colorado fellow-citi-
zen who, during the conversation asked
Mr Bowen as to who was the richest
man In Colorado. Bowen, so the story goes
drew himself up to his full six feet and putting
one nand In his vest and waving the other, said
impressively:
MY friend, you see before you the richest
man In Colorado and, in all probability, the
man who Will eventually be the richest man in
the whole world"
A short time after that Senator Bowen luck
turned He found the effete Of the east little
sharper than be had supposed tito be- and with
adropping OF his income from hts mines he dis
covered that his total assets were made up of
mineral possibilities as yet practically unds-
covered in the wilds of Colorado. He has, am
told. since owned other mines, and he sold one a
short time ago which brought him In the neigh
borhood OF $500, 600. He has investments In the
new mining fields, and when he was here in
Washington, a few days ago, his friends say he
was more sanguine than ever.

The Puzzline Question.


The question that Is pulling everybody
in anyway interested 10 Richmond Terminal
affairs is, who inspired the attack on the
lease Of the Central to the Richmond and
Danvillel The Thomas-Bri faction Of the
Richmond Terminal say they cannot an
swer the question, and the Inman-Calhoun
faction declare they were as much
surprised as anybody when they heard
Of the appointment Of a receiver.
As far as can be discovered none Of the
minority stockholders in this state inspired
the attack Mr.. Rountree, the attorney
who filed the bill, says he alone Is resposi-
BILE for what be has done, and there is no
reason for doubling that he is sincere.
But may it not be that Mr.. Rountree
does not know who Is back OF himl He
knows only his client, Mrs. Clarke, of South
Carolina. That she is the owner of
fifty shares of Central stock there
is no doubt, but it is not
probable that Mr.. Rountree hunted
her up and induced her to become
plaintiff in the suit. Indeed. he had no
way of knowing she was the owner Of fifty
shares of Central stock. Therefore, he
could not have approached her even il he
had been hunting for some one to figure as
complainant. Besides, as a reputable
lawyer. he would not have asked her to
permit him TO bring a suit in her name even
If he had known she was a stakeholder.
But who suggested to Mrs. Clarke to
bring the suitl She cannot possibly be so
well informed respecting the condition OF
the Centrars property as are dozens Of mi
nority stockholders in this city who had no
thought OF asking that the lease be broken.
There are directors Of the Central who are
largely Interested in It's securities, some Of
them owning many thousands of dollars
worth of them. They are in a much better
position TO know whether or not it would
be to the interest Of the minority.
stockholders to have the lease
broken than Mrs. Clarke. No one of
them, however, deemed 1t advisable to take
the step she did. 1t is strange. therefore,
that Mrs. Clarke. after having acquiesced
In the lease so long, and particularly after
the Richmond and Danville's effort on Jan.
! to find an excuse for refusing to pay the in
tsrest due on the Centraps securities, should
suddenly become alarmed about the safety
Of her property. The view, therefore. that
she began proceedings for the annulment
Of the lease without having been solicited
to do so is not accepted. Both here and in
New York it is believed that the attack on
the lease was inspired. But who inspired
it and what is the object sought to be ac-
complishedl Did Wall street stock jobbers
inspire it. or some one connected with
Richmond Terminal affairsl These are
questions a good many people would like
TO have answered. Eventually, doubtless,
the truth will become known. At present,
however, interested people will have to con-
tent themselves with speculations with res
gard to them.
