SWEET CHARITY.
The Railroads VIII Haul the Cora Con. tributed by Our Farmers for the Sufferers of Nebraska
 Free of Charge.

The car load of corn for the relief of the farmers of Nebraska is now be- ing collected. The Missouri Pacific Railway has placed car at the dis posal of Father Lucey, County Com missioner, and the St. Louis & southwestern Railway, through Assistant Superintendent P. J. Conley, has hauled the car to Rob Roy where the corn of lower Jeffer- son county will be delivered. MT. Martin, the Superintendent of the Swan Lake road, will transport the corn free of charge to Rob Roy as will the other roads over their route onward to Nebraska.
 Owing to the refusal of the Gov ernor of Nebsaska to receive the proffered corn from the State of Ark ansas, Father Lucey wrote Gov. Holcomb, Lincoln, Feb, to inquire if donations from individuals would be acceptable. The following cor respondence is published and is sufficiently self-explanatory:
 STATE oF NEBRASKA, EXECUTIVE OFFICE, LINCOLN.
 January 26, 1895. Mr. J. NJ. Lucy, Pine Bluff, Ark
 My DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours of the 22nd inst. the Governor directs me to express his thorough apprecia- ton of your generous interest Tn be- half of the needy people in the drought-stricken districts in western Nebraska. The proposed contribu- ton from the Arkansas Legislature was declined because 1t imposed a burden upon the taxpayers of the State. The Nebraska Relief Com mission at Lincoln has been and Is receiving voluntary contributions from the charitably inclined of those of other states and and applying 1t to the relief of the needy. Your let ter will be referred to the Secretary of the Commission, Rev. l.. F. Lud- den, and you will doubtless receive an early reply.
 The Governor thanks the generous farmers of Jefferson county for their generous interest in behalf of their less fortunate fellow farmers In western Nebraska. Yours very truly, BENTON MARET.

AN ECHO OF A COWHIDING. STERLING GODFREY, OF THIS CITY ARRESTED FOR THE PART HE
 ENACTED.
The Sensational Episode at Pine Biun to
 Be Aired In the Courts.

Constable c. Nj. Philpot, of Pine
 Bluff, arrived in the city last night and placed under arrest Sterling Godfrey, night bartender at the Hotel Riehelieu. The charge upon which the arrest is made substantially isin- inhalation at the point of a shot gun.
 Godfrey's arrest fig the sequal to a sensational episode which happened in Pine Bluff on the 7th inst, in which he stood guard with a double-bar- relied shotgun while his 16-year-old niece, Miss Mary Huggard, cowhided Edward L. Colburn, q well-known and prominent citizen of Pine Bluff.
 Colburn was accused of having sent an insulting message to Miss Huggard through an old negro woman. The young lady reported the matter to her mother who in turn communicated the news to her brother Godfrey, he being her sole protector, as she is a widow. God frey, in response to the summons of his sister, went to Pine Bluff, inves- tigated the affair, and the denoue- ment followed as chronicled.
 A Gazette reporter called on God frey last night after the arrest. In reply to d question, Godfrey said he would leave this morning for Pine Bluff to answeR to the charge pre- ferred against him. He was not in the least disconcerted by reason of his arrest, and appeared sanguine of being vindleated. This is the second time he has been arrested in eonnec- ton with the affair, having been made prisoner for short while after the occurrence by the Chief of Police at Pine Bluff.
 It is reported that the old negro woman, accused of carry ing the in snlting message alleged to have been sent by C0lburn, was arrested also Ut his instance, but that she was dismissed through the lack Of evil dence that she had committed the crime of perjury fin connecting Col burn with the affair which led to the cowhiding.-GGazette.

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 9. 1895.
 SIR:-Your letter of recent date to His Exeellency, Gov. Holcomb, has been referred to us for answer. In reply would say that we desire to thank you and the generous hearted people in your community for the interest they have taken in our peo- pie. Through the generosity of the people we have been able to secure an abundant supply of clothing. The generosity of the railroads and the people have also given us, possibly, food enough for the needy, but we do need what you suggest-a large quantity of it-grain. We hope we will have new arrangements with the Iailroads by which we will be able to handle all these donated sup plies of grain. Respectfully yours,

Tomorrow afternoon at 3:30 a special train consisting of six Pull man sleepers loaded with Michigan lumber men and capitalists, will ar rive in Pine Bluff over the Cotton Belt road These men are travelling through Arkansas inspecting the timber with a view to investing heavily in timber lands.

 A GRAPHIC reporter has inter- viewed many of our business men and.members of the Young Mems Commercial League to ascertain if any movement had been started, or committees appointed to receive visitors and welcome them to Pine Bluff, and he regrets to state that nothing has been done, and they will be allowed to come, and go with out any eourtesies whatever being extended to them by the people of Pine Bluff This shows~a condition of inertness and lassitude on the part of our business men that is distressing, and most iniuriour to the progress of our city. Wake up, good friends; let us show these dis tinguished visitors that there is some life left yet in the old town.

THE WALLER CASE AGAIN.
THE RECORDS HAVE REACHED PARr
E. G. Woodford, an important Witness, Has
Reached New York, Having Come Di-
rect from Tamatlye.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Renewed interest
in the Waller case was aroused today by
the receipt of telegram from Ambassa-
dor Eustis announcing that the record
and accompanying documents had been
received at the foreign office at Paris
and were being translated. Although
Mr.. Eustis did not say so in his dispatch,
the presumption is that the French gov
ernment in accordance with it's promise,
will deliver a copy to Mr.. Eustis as soon
as the translation is completed The
steamer upon which this alleged record
arrived reached Marseilles September 22
and this government expected the delv-
cry of the same into Mr.. Eustis' hands
before this. An important witness. on
the part of Mr. Waller arrived in New
York yesterday in the person of Mr.. e.
G.. Woodson, an American citizen who
was at Tamative at the time of the Wal
Ter trial, heard the proceedings and read
the alleged discriminating letters. Mr.
Woodford comes direct from Tamative
and is the man who supplied the funds
through which Mrs. Waller and family
reached France. He is thoroughly con-
versant with the facts and will come to
Washington next week for conference
with Secretary Olney.

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Decreasing Deposits and Loss of Cash Holdings
the Main Feature


New York. Oct. 5.-The New York FL
nancier says this week:
Decreasing deposits and loss of cash
holdings are distinguishing features of
the New York bank statement for the
week ending October 5. The clearing
house banks held last week only $751;
496, 400 in cash, which is loss of $31 000,-
900 since June / last, and of $31, 1886, 900
since August 81 last. This money repre-
sents in part the gold export movement,
but more than anything else of late the
demand from the interior. The actual
loss for the week was IS, ,0S3, 900, of which
$739,600 was In specie and $7,344 800 legal
tenders The interior movement during
the past few days has not been quite up
to expectations, but fairly satisfactory.
Deposits are down to $540 099 $780, the loss
for the week being $9,037 000 The aggre-
gate volume of deposits has fallen off
since June l over 500 900, 900 and since Au-
gust 81 $33,500,000. The deposits of the
New York banks are reported as nearly
s50000,000 less than for the corresponding
week in 1894.
There was a slight contraction in loans
during the week, the decrease being ST.
$4,000 The operations of the week
brought about decrease of Sc, ,824 $50 In
the reserve the excess now standing at
$16,471 ,525 which Is much lower, barring
three weeks in March, due to other
causes. than it has been for the year.

O'Clock this morning fifteen minutes

station he ran through at forty miles an
hour Conductor Law signal1ed the en-
gineer TO stop, but Atkins paid no atten-
tion to- the bell Then Law ran throue h
the train and threw a. piece of coal over
the tendersto attract the engineers at
tention. Still Atkins kept on. Law who
had signed the orders at East Point, then
cut the cars loose from the tender. At
kins and the engine sped on. and 200
yards further crashed into the approach
ing local train The automatic brakes on
the fast mail stopped the detached train
and the passengers escaped.
Engineer McDade of the northbound
train reversed his engine and jumped.
His fireman and the fireman on the
southbound train also jumped. Atkins

to work to rescue him, to give him some
thing to relieve his agony. He died three
hours later. -f-as7S
