The Road Question.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-practically
all the railroads along the road d-mster-
ial producing sections of the country
will cooperate with the Agricultural
Department in the movement for bet
ter roads.
Letters have been received from a
large number of railroad officials to
which circulars were sent by Gen.
Stone, in charge of the road inquiry
bureau, asking if the companies would
combine for uniform cost basis rate
for road materials. Almost all assert
their willingness to join with connect
ing roads to promote the good-roads
movement. Some of the officials have
replied that while willing to carry the
material at the bare cost Of hauling,
their roads are prohibited from making
such rates to either persons or States,
and suggesting that the department
will have to take the matter to the
State Leg stature or to the Interstate
Commerce Commission, before the
roads would be at liberty to act. The
department officials, however, believe
that there will be no difficulty in seeur-
ing the necessary legislation, Vice
President Shelby Of the Grand Rapids
and Indiana Railroad, says in his re-
ply:
There can be no denial of the fact
that good roads are desirable both for
the localities in which they run an d
for the railroads in the vicinity. Where
a concerted and we'll refined plan of
action can be agreed on, in any judge
nent, all the railroads will cooperate
IN proportion to the condition surroud-
ing them"

DR.. Keeley Sued.

LEAvENwoRTH, KAs., April 14.-Dr.
Leslie E. Kelley of Kelley cure fame,
who came here to attend the celebra-
ton of the anniversary Of the Veteran
Kelley League at the Soldiers Home,
has struck a snag and got himself en-
tangled in law suit that may prove of
general public interest" aud lead up to
the publicity Of the alleged secret
which has surrounded the cure of ineb
rates.
Charles F. Johnson of Topeka has
filed suit in the District Court against
DR.. Kelley, claiming personal damages
in the sum of 500 900 for ruined health.
In the petition Johnson alleges that in
Nav, 1892, he entered the Keeley In
stitute at Topeka and paid Sl23 for
treatment, being guaranteed cure at
the end Of five weeks. Johnson al
leges that through the admnistr alton
Of dangerous drugs, over doses, double
doses, etc, his health was ruined an d
lie was fedueeu W Phy oloai "'oe"'
that the same uncomfortable appetite
for intoxicants confronted bin when
he was dismissed, and when he applied
to Kelley agents for restoration of his
health they refused to have anything
to do with him. The necessary papers
were issued from the District Court
and served on DR.. Kelley. The trial
will come up for hearing at the Noyem-
ber term of court.

A Young Man Suicides.

VAN BUREN, ARK, April 7.-Yester-
day afternoon j. w. Kerr. one of Van
Buren's enterprising and progressive
young business men, shot himself.
The re volver used was 38-caliber, the
ball entering the skull, through the
right ear and passing just behind the
left ear.
The shock to his friends was terrible,
as he was to have been married next
week to one of the most accomplished
young ladies of the city. On hearing
the awful news his intended bride
hastened to his side only to see him
breathe his last. She may not survive
the shock as she now lies at home in
on extremely critical condition Not a
line has been found indicating reason
for Mr.. Kerr's action. His bro ther, F.
G. Kerr, who is a member of the State
Board of Pharmacy believes the shoot
ing to have been accidedtal, as'he had
just received his intended wedding suit
and had bought other necessaries.

$4,000 for Madeline.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Pollard
breckenridge $4,000 breach of promise
case went to the jury at 3:11 o'clock
this afternoon and at 415 the verdict
was returned in favor of Madeline Pol
lard, the jury awarding her SIS 900.
At 4:35 there was rush toward the
court room. Judge Bradley and the
jury entered at one door and Col.
Breckenridge, his son, and Col. Phil
Thompson at the other, Everyone
knew that the jury had not come in to
ask for instructions because they car
ried their coats and hats. There was
intense silence and the jurors sat look
ing as solemn as proverbial judges,
while Col. Thompson and the gray
haired defendant conferred in whispers
Five minutes passed before Attorney
Carlisle, representing Miss Pollard, en-
tered. Judge Bradley requested the
people to refrain from demonstrations
Then verdict Of $15 900 was rendered
for the plaintiff. Col, Breckinridge
himself arose to make motion for q
new trial and the court adjourned.
Col. Breckenridge was very cool after
the verdict was rendered but declined
to speak at that time for publication.
Miss Pollard was somewhat excited and
broke out in tears when she heard the
result. Her attorneys said that she
was anxious to efface herself from the
public sight as far as possible now that
the case WAS ended.

The Meyer Coinage Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 14.-No lit
tie surprise and indignation was eX-
pressfed by the Treasury officials when
it was learned from the Congressional
Record that Speaker Crisp has quietly
referred the Meyer bill for the coinage
of the seigniorage and the issue of three
per cent. bonds to Band's committee
on Coinage, Weights and Measures.
The bill was drawn at the Treasury, in
accordance with President Cleveland S
wishes, and it was the wish Of the ad-
ministration that it should be referred
to the committee on Ways and Means.
Secretary Carlisle fully expected this
referance for he was at the Capitol and
had long conference with Mr.. Meyer,
who introduced the bill and Mr.. Bourke
Cochran, of the Ways and Means Com
mlttee, who was to take charge of it i'll
committee and in House. The section
relating to the bond issue was expressly
worded in such way as, in the opin-
ion of the Administration, made its ref
erence to Ways and Means inevitable.
Mr.. Bland himself did not expect to
have the bill referred to his committee.
Speaker Crisp's reference Of the bill to
Mr.. BANDS committee, of course, seals
its fate. He has thuo again favored
the silver anti-bond sentiment as
against the administration.

A DESIRABLE OFFICE GIVEN.
THE SEVENTH DISTRICT sTEAm VESSEL
iNSPEcTo7SA!PA APPOINTMENT MADE.
J. W. Thompson Of Pine Bluff This State, Appoint
ed After Long Crawn-out Contest.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE appoint
ment of Mr.. j. w. Thompson as Super
Vlsing Steamboat Inspector for the Sew
enth District, ends one of the longest
contests for office under the present ad-
ministration. Candidates had applied
from as high as Evansville, Ind, to
Pine Bluff, Ark, and the southermost
candidate got the place
Mr.. Thompson comes from Pine Bluff
and was recommended for the position
by the Arkansas Senators and several
Representatives. Indiana, Illinois,
Kentucky and Tennessee had all offer
ed ambitious sons.
Senator Palmer urged with all his
might the appoint tment of Ben Howard
of Metropolis. The Tennessee dele.a-
ton, almost as a unit, put forward
Dabney Scales of Memphis, and short
time ago Mr.. Scales declared he had
been promised the position. Upon the
strength OF this number of prophets
predicted his appointment.
Senator Vorhees and Representa- tive
Taylor of Indiana made long pull and
hard pull for John J. Zinzich of
Evansville Mr. Zinzich has also been
down upon the books as a successful
candidate.
The most interesting in the long list
of applicants was viii S. Hayes, the
well known Kentucky poet and song
writer. He was the particular favorite
of Representative Carouth of Ken tucky
and was thought to have the sympathy
of the Secretary Of the Treasury. The
battle has been Il long one and the ups
and downs have been many, not even
the high officials of the Treasury being
sure as to who the nominee would be
until his name was finally sent to the
Senate. Several commissions were
made out and placed in the Presidents
hands and he decided at the last mo-
ment which one he would appoint.

LOWER CEDAR POINT LIGHT-The
present sundry civil bill contains no
appropriation for the construction of a
light to replace that destroyed by fire
at Lower Cedar Point, on the Potomac,
last winter, and some inconvenience
will have to be experienced by mari
ners until Congress sees fit to grant
money for this much-needed station.
The Secretary of the Treasury sent sew
eral letters TO the House of Representa-
tives presenting the great necessity of
allowing an appropriation for restoring
<he light The Senate bill left in a sum
of SO, 200, but when the bill got to con-
ference the House members succeeded
in having it stricken out. This leaves
the lighthouse board without cent to
begin the work with, although plans had
been drawn and arrangements made
for the prompt expenditure of the
money. There is now temporary
light displayed on the site of the old
one, bur it is poor substitute for the
structure which marked a very dan
gerouS point in the Potomac.

SERIOUSLY BURNED.-Miss Minnie
Brenele, daughter of Mr. Henry Bren-
gle, was the victim of terrible acct
dent shortly before two o'clock this
afternoon. She was in her room a. her
fathers residence, on King street, and
was engaged at her toilet, having a
lighted gasoline lamp at her right hand
with which she was heating curling
iron. While thus engaged she suddenly
discovered her sleeve was burning, and
before she could gather her thoughts
the blaze had run up her arm and
entirely around the upper portion Of
her body. The terrified young woman
screamed and ran toward Mrs. Pever-
Ills cher half sister, room, but that lady
was TOO much alarmed to render her
assistance. Mr. Brengle, who had
heard his daughters screams. ran to
her assistance, and seeing her sad
plight, grasped her and endeavored to
smother the flames. In doing so she
fell from his arms at the head of the
flight of stairs on the second floor and
rolled to the passageway below. Her
father quickly had hold of her again,
and finally succeeded, with the help of
others attracted by her shrieks, in e1-
tinguishing her burning clothing. Mr..
Brengle's hands were considerably
burned by this time The young woman
was removed to her room and DR.. Jones
summoned. She was found to be Sc
siouSly burned on her arms aud on the
upper portion of her body. 1t is sup
posed that Miss Brengle's dress sleeve
accidentally came in contact with the
blazing lamp while she was engaged in
arranging her hair.
