A Romance in Real Life.

Jackson, Aug. 9.-The community in
the northwestern portion of this coun-
ty, bordering on Haywood County, is
much wrought up over the strange ap-
pearance OF James Rainey after an abb
setlce of thirty-one years, and his sud-
den disappearance, after being only
few hours in the neighborhood. The
facts connected with this page from real
life are as full of romance as ever fic-
tion pictured. During the dark days of
the early sixties, when Southern youths
were donning the gray and marching
away to the martial music of fife and
drum, James Rainey, young man of
| this county, went to the front All went
we'll with him until the battle of Yazoo
City, Miss, where be fell with bullet
hole in his head. He was seen short
time after he fell by James Hays of this
county, companion and messmate.
When the dead were being buried the
body of Rainey was not found by any
of his friends, but they had no doubt
that he had crawled off some distance
and died, and that he had been buried
with many others in an unknown grave,
and he was mourned at home as dead.
His family never expected to see him in
this life again.
Last Saturday stranger appeared at
Mr.. Newton Cobb's, in Haywood County.
After talking with him a while, Mr..
Cobb recognized in the visitor the long
lost James Rainey, who is his nephew.
He at first denied isidentity, but finally
admitted who he was. He told his uncle
that he had recovered from his wound
in hospital, had afterward gone to sea,
and while off the coast of far Van Die
mans Land he had offended an English
officer and had been exiled for fifteen
years on the island. He had undergone
there untold hardship and misery. He
said when the fifteen years expired he
was resentenced. Not long ago he es-
capped to passing ship, landed at San
Francisco, worked his way across the
continent to the neighborhood where
he was born and reared. He inquired
about his brother, t. c. Rainey, who is
a well-to-do farmer of this county, and
other relatives. Late in the afternoon
he started to walk over to another rela-
tive's, Mr.. Joe Hunter, neighbor OF
Mr.. Cobb's. He never went there, and
was seen Saturday night at Brownsville,
since which time he has disappeared as
suddenly and strangely as he came. His
brother and the people of the entire
community are searching the country
for miles around, hoping yet to find
him. 1t is feared that he is demented,
either from his terrible experience in
exile or from his old wound.

A BLOW AT PULLMAN.


Tho Attorney-GeneraI of Illinois Charges
that the Pullman Palace Car Co. Has
Forfeited Its Franchise.
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-At 1:2O o'clock this
afternoon Attorney-General Moloney
appeared in the office of the circuit
clerk of Cook county and filed petit
tion covering sixty pages of typewrit-
ten legal cap for a bill in
equity against the Pullman Palace
Car Co., calling upon it to show cause
why it should not be prohibited
from further doing business under the
laws of the state. The petition set
forth that it has violated the franchises
conferred upon it by the state in
numerous particulars, and lays stress
upon the fact that it is conducting
hotel business and real estate busi-
ness, without warrant of law.

TIE ROCK ISLAND DISASTER.

The CorOner's Inquest-A Suspicious Char
acter Arrested-PossIbIy Twelve Killed
Killed.
LINCOLN, Neb. Aug. 12.-The coroner's
inquest on the bodies of the eleven vic
TINS of Thursday nights railroad dis
aster began yesterday and continued
until late last night, when an adjourn
ment was taken until 10 o'clock Mon
day morning. But three witnesses
were examined, their testimony being
very complete and substantially the
same as already recited in the United
Press dispatches The cause of the
wreck formed new theme which will
be gone into very thoroughly.
The chief interest yesterday in con-
nection with the disaster centered in
the arrest of George Davis, negro,
who is charged with no less crime
than being the author of the catas-
trophe. He was captured late Friday
night by City Detective Malone, and
circumstantial evidence is strongly
against him. The police declare that
there can be no possibility of their
being mistaken.
Davis tells conflicting stories, and
has bad record. A rumor circulated
tonight that he has made confession
cannot be confirmed. 1t has been def
nitely ascertained that the list of dead
numbers eleven, with the possibility Of
twelve.

In the criminal court at Nashville
last week Judge Anderson overruled the
motion of defense to quash the indict-
ments against Hardin, Elrod, Taylor ct
al. for express robbery. He held as to
Hardin that the Southern Express Com
pany was as much of corporation as
similar concerns, and that when Hardin
embezzled their funds he was amenable
to the law covering cases of embezzle-
ment. As to Elrod, Taylor and Morris
he held that they were not accessories
in fact until the commission of the
crime in Tennessee, and that while it is
charged they entered into the conspir-
acy in Kentucky, the commission of the
crime in Davidson County by principal
Hardin made them accessories under the
jurisdiction of the Tennessee court.

Arrival at Its Destlnatlon.

DENVER, Aug. 12.-The relay race OF
the L. A. w. was finished tonight at
10:37-6 days 10 hours and IL minutes
at Sand Creek, five and three-fourth
miles distant, went up at 1923, and the
cheering of the waiting crowds that
lined the streets soon heralded the on
coming of the wheelmen. The riders
on the last section were George l..
Mccarthy and George w. Harty. They
entered the city in Arapahoe street to
the corner of Sixteenth, and from there
up Tenth to the county court house,
where an immense throng had been
patiently waiting since 5 o'clock.
The governor received the pouch and
took from it the messages, reading the
one to himself and his telegraphic re-
ply and landed message to Gen. Nc
Cook and one to Mr.. Black, who had
charge of the race from Washington,
from Representative Springer.
The governor then said: ''Mr. George
Mccarthy, as the governor of Colorado,
/ desire to thank you for the delivery
of this autograph letter which was
placed in the hands of the first relay
wheelmen at Washington, August at
12 o'clock noon by the private secre-
tary of the president of the United
States. In future years it shall be a
matter of pride to you and your fellow
bicyclists that you had part in this
grand achievement and helping to make
this wonderful record of the skill and
speed of the American wheelman. Ap-
plause.
Turning to Mr.. Black, the governor
said: "Mr. A. T. Black, of Jackson
vile, Ill, of the L. A. W.: 1t is my
pleasant duty to congratulate you, Mr..
Black, as the manager and promoter of
this great enterprise upon its auspi-
cious termination. You have aroused
new interest in that benefcient in
vention, the wheel, which has already
produced so extraordinary a change in
locomotion. The fact is the wheel is
the greatest invention of modern
times [applause], wheels in the head,
always excepted. Laughter.
Gen. McCook then made his reply to
Gen. Greeley, after which the crowd
slowly dispersed.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 1S.-The last 100
miles of the great Washington-Denver
relay bicycle race was covered under
the most favorable conditions, a clear
sky, little or no wind and a smooth,
hard road that WIS an inspiration to
the flying wheelmen, who forged ahead
at gait that would have done credit

The sandstorm which the Nebraska
riders ran into Saturday night was
most unfortunate occurrence. IL de-
layed the race several hours, and pre-
vented it being completed in six days,
as was anticipated Saturday when the
news that such excellent time was be-
ing made in eastern Nebraska was re-
ceived here. But west of Julesburg
yesterday morning the sun found the
presidents message moving steadily
westward sixteen miles per hour.
The couriers arrived at Cheyenne at
$3.50 p. m, where the best riders of that
city received it without seconds de-
lay and were off for the south like the
wind. The road from there to Greeley
is smooth and hard with occasional
hills or slight rises, giving the men a
chance for an occasional coast"
The Cheyenne boys were greeted a
few miles north of Greeley by an es-
cort of local wheelmen, who set kill
ing pace on towards their city and the
pouch was transferred to the Denver
boys with the same celerity with which
it had been changing hands ever since
Monday noon.

THE WAR IN CoREA.

Late News from OficiaT Chinese Sources
The Anomalous Position of Ii Hung
Chang-Stripped of His Chief Honors Be
cause of InefIiciency, Yet Left in Supreme
Command of the Army and Nayy-War
News.
LONDON. Aug. 1S.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Central News has
been enabled to obtain from an official
Chinese source a full confirmation of
the report that Ii Hung Chang has
been reproyed and degraded by the
emperor for dilatoriness in prosecuting
the war. The correspondent says:
The emperor expressed his displeas-
ure at the backward condition of the
soldiers, censured Ii Hung for remiss-
ness and in a secret decree deprived
him of the yellow coat and the pea
cock feather and reduced him in rank
three degrees.
Nevertheless, Lii Hung retains Of
fee, and inasmuch as he has been given
entire charge of the naval and military
forces, enjoys all the privileges of
viceroy."
The correspondent says the incident
is entirely comprehensive to anybody
conversant with Chinese customs
In British naval circles the japanese
attacks on Wei-Hai-Wei and Port Ar
thur are regarded as daring, The
rashness and the pluck of the Japan
ese is praised unstintedly.
Wei-Hai-Wei and Port Arthur have
exceedingly strong defenses. More
over, according to the testimony of
Capt. Lang and others conversant
with the facts, the Chinese are expert
torpedoists and gunners. Tt is as
sumed that the Japanese attack is
part of scheme to keep the Chinese
fleet in the gulf of Pc Chi Ii while
Japan pours troops to Corea.
Another dispatch from Shanghai
says: 1t is reported that twenty-six
ships were engaged in the attack on
Wei-Hai-Wei. Whether or not all were
war ships is not known. The forts and
vessels exchanged about fifty shots.
The forts fred badly; their shells fell
short or wide. The attacks, it is
thought, were a ruse to draw fire in
order to ascertain the strength aud po-
sition of the Chinese guns.

The Powers Should Intervene to Prevent
the Extinction of Japanese Autonomy.
LONDON, Aug. 13.-The Daily News
recommends concerted action by the
European powers to stop the war be-
tween China and Japan. 1t says:
China and Japan respectively en-
body conservative and innovating
forces. It is, therefore, natural
that western nations should sym
pathize with Japan. If her
ultimate victory were probable or even
within the range of practical possibili-
ties, there might be plausible argu-
ments against Intervention. But the
permanent defeat of China is almost
impossible, and the result, unless the
powers interpose, will probably be the
extinction of japanese autonomy and
jealous exclusion of foreign devils"
from Japan as well as from China.
If mutual jealousy prevents the Euro
pean powers from acting, there re-
mains the alternative of possible ac-
tion by the United States. That may
be contrary to one aspect of the Mon
roe doctrine and opposed to American
ideas, but the situation is exceptional
enough to justify a departure from
precedent and usage. The fighting
cannot continue without seriously in
juring the trade of the world"
