F. W. Mueller, who is now stopping in
0berlin, called at our sanctum Saturday.
Mr.. Mueller has just returned from two
years visit in Germany. He said that
Notwithstanding the customs, manner Of

The Postofllce Burglar.

The examination of VIM. Meiler, alias
johnson, the alleged pOstOffice burgular
was began before the commissioner in
Cleveland, Wednesday last. A number
of unexpected questions came up, so it
required three adjOurnments, the last
one until Saturday morning at 8 q. M,
in order to look up matters little.
Witnesses from this place recognized
the accused as being in company with
Jerry Sullivan. The hotel register at the
American house was produced to show
his signature which was fac simile OF
his hand writing. johnson at first
claimed that he never had been in Well
ington nor met Jerry Sullivan, but later
on admitted that he was in Wellington
with Sullivan at the American house
hut knew nothing about the robbery. Il
was also shown that he had been COM
minicating with Sullivan while in the
Jail at Cleveland by messenger boy
The court bound him over to the United
States court and fixed his bail at $1,000
which he failed to give and he was re-
turned to Jail. G. W. Aner and Howard
Eollansbee have attached the money
taken from johnson and now in posses
sion OF the United States marshal. 1t is
claimed that there were four persons
connected with the robbery, two are
in custody and a third one located.

William Innman.

The many friends Of William Innman
will be panied to hear of his sudden
death by being run over by the cars, in
Chicago, on the morning Of May Is. A
letter from his daughter Libbie gives the
particulars Of the fatal accident.
He had been to a neighbOring lumber
yard for some building material and
while returning home, walking on the
track, was run over by passenger train,
whose warning whistle he was unable to
hear, owing to the noise Of heavy
freight train passing on an adjacent
track. He was at once carried, in an
unconscious condition, into near drug
store, when it was found he had received
three deep cuts On the head and face, be-
sides internal injuries. Death came al
most instantly. The funeral services were
held May 16 at his home, 2434 N. 10th
Avenue, Irving Park, Chicago. He was
one Of builders Of the first NJ. E. church
at Irving Park, and from the opening of
the church had been loved and hOnOred
member Of its official board.
William Innman was born December
Z, 1892, at Penfeld, Monroe Co., N. Y.
When nine years of age he came with
his parents to Spencer, Medina Co., o.,
where he lived many years. When quite
a young man he united with the M. E.
, church and during his long, busy and
useful life was known to possess rare
christian spirit, full of faith and devO-
tion.
1t was my privilege to know how beau
tiful was his home life, as a husband and
father, he almost measured up to ones
ideal, patient, gentle, indulgent to wife
and children, kind and courteous to all
about him, his life was blessing to all
who knew HIM. Indeed to intimately
know him was to be made better. The
world is poorer by his leaving it, but
heaven is the richer.

HOUSE ACTION ON ARMENIA.
Senate Resolution Adopted After Four
Hours Discussion.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 27.--The
House to-day, after an interesting
four-hour debate, adopted the resolu-
tons passed by the Senate last week
calling on the Powers signatory to the
treaty of Berlin to enforce the reforms
in Turkey guaranteed to the Christian
Armenians, and pledging the support
of Congress- and the President in the
most vigorous action he might take
for the protection and security of
American citizens in Turkey.
The House committee had prepared
some resolutions on the same subject,
but it was deemed advisable, after the
Senate resolutions reached the House
to-day, to substitute them for those
prepared by the committee.
Mr.. Quigg, of New York, who had
charge of the bill, made In able pre-
s~entation of the case, but there was a
disposition on the part of some OF the
members to 60 further than the reso-
buttons did, and Mr.. Hepburn, of Iowa,
proposed to give the Turkish Minister
his passports and sever diplomatic re-
lations with Turkey.

D TO COIN SILVER.
Why Dollars Instead of Subsidiary
Pieces Will Be Coined.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Mint Direc-
tor Preston has received Secretary
Carlisle's order to prepare to coin
standard silver dollars at the Phila-
delphia and New Orleans MINIS. The
amount of coinage to be executed has
not yet been determined, but it will
be about SIT 600 900. The seigniorage
on this will also be declared and
coined, and this will not make, all
told, more than 100000 600. Two
things will happen as the result of
this decision, viz, the reopening of
the New Orleans Mint on a small
scale and the continuation of coming
operations at the Philadelphia Mint.
Mr.. Preston says that by Tuesday
night all the gold bullion at the Phila-
delphia Mint Will have been coined,
and he does not think that any gold
bullion will be transferred from Sub
treasures or minis elsewhere to Phil
adelphia at present. AS the appro-
priation for coming subsidiary silver
is well nigh exhausted, the force at
the Philadelphia Mint would have
been f~urloughed without pay unless
the coinage of standard silver dollars,
for which he had a sufficient present
appropriation, had been decided upon.
There was, he said, pressing need for
the coinage of subsidiary silver, and
as soon as the necessary money was
provided by Congress this class of
coinage would be resumed.

MILAN, Tenn, Jan. 25, 1S96.-SIR:
/ noticed in your paper dated January
% that Mr.. White is making a tour of
the South. I am glad Mr.. White
passed so many compliments upon
the South, her beautiful cities and the
hospitality of her people, for the
South is a grand place. 1 also noticed
that Mr.. White will return home by
way of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
and will pass through Jackson, Tenn,
which is % miles from Milan, andI
want to know if you can tell me what
day he will pass through jackson. 1
am very anxious to see Mr.. White
and shake hands with q good old
Democrat from Audrain, for | was
born and raised in Audrain. We
have had a very pleasant winter here
SO far. A very light snow fell before
Christmas. This winter has been a
grand improvement over last winter.
| will bring this missive to a close by
wishing the LEDGER much success
during the present year, and hope
that ye editor may arrive home safe
and that he has made many friends
while visiting the Southern cities.
Hoping to hear from you by return
mail, we remain, very respectfully,
E. F. TALLEY AND WIFE.

COL. BLEES' JUNKETING.
A Missouri Educator Falls Heir to
a Fortune of S750,000.

MACON, Mo-, Jan. 25.-For a town
of moderate size Macon is just now
receiving considerable notoriety, par
ticularly in the larger cities between
it and the Pacific coast. All this is
caused by an almost royal trip now
making by Colonel F. w. Blees, prin-
cipal of st. James Military Academy
of this place, who, with his party, is
in n of Pullman's private cars,
known as "Cieopatra"-a car which
once had the honor of sheltering
President Harrison on a similar tour.
The company consists of Colonel
Blees and family, DR.. and Mrs. F. B.
Clements, Mrs. E. Mckee, Miss Jen-
ME Barclay and Messrs. Lloyd Nc
Kee and Ray Frey, all of this city. A
small army of servants and porters
accompanies the party. A well stored
commissary, a complete Photographic
outfit, a piano and other musical in
struments are on board, and will add
interest to the excursion.
From letters received here since
the start the travellers have attracted
much attention as if they were
foreign lords and p~rincesses, instead
of plain American people. In several
places they have been rendered ova-
lions and from other cities ahead they
have been notified that the Mayor
and townspeople would turn out to
receive them and "throw open the
gates of the city" to their "illustrious
visitors"
All this is brought about by the
common exaggeration of a mans
wealth when he travels over the
country, appearing to have all the
money he needs. A few months
ago Colonel Blees' father, a wealthy
resident of Germany, died, and the
Coloneps portion of the estate was
about $3.50, 600, which amount has
been enlarged by rumor to many
times that sum. The Colonel's mail
since his heritage is enormous,

AN EMERGENCY FUND.
Colonel Jones Accused of Withdraw
ing Post-Dispatch Funds.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 25.-Florence
D. White, treasurer of the Pulitzer
Publishing Company, to-day filed a
motion before Judge Valiant of the
Circuit Court to compel Charles H.
Jones, editor and manager of the Post
Dispatch, to make restitution of 1920
said to belong to the publishing COM
pany. Mr.. White notified Col. Jones
that until the s12, 900 was returned to
the bank, in which, the funds controlled
by Post Dispatch directors are, he
would refuse to sign any more checks
in the capacity of treasurer of the
Post Dispatch. It is alleged by the
directors of the company that Colonel
Jones does notdeny that he has placed
a sum of money in another bank to
his own account. His explanation is
that he had reason to believe that he
would not be reelected president of
the Post Dispatch Publishing Company
and not be able to control the funds of
the company and carry on the paper.
He then decided to deposit in another
bank a part of the receipts to be used
to run the paper in such event.

PICKED UP A SMALL FORTUNE.
A Louisiana Merchant Finds a Pocket
book Containing Nearly $4,000.
From the Louisiana Press.

Marcus Morris had quite an adven-
ture at Bowling Green Monday after
noon. He was hurrying along the
street to catch the bus for the depot
when he saw n pocketbook lying in
front of him. He picked it up and
after he got on the train he opened it
and to his astonishment it was full of
greenbacks, silver and certified
checks. The total amount was S2,s45.
On the inside of the pocketbook was
the name of Elizabeth Bates.
When he got home Mr.. Morris
wrote at once to that address and put
a special delivery stamp on the letter.
The next day Mrs. Bates came down
on the train, described her property
and 1t was turned over to her by Mr..
Morris. She offered him s25 as a re-
ward, but he declined 1t, and she fin
ally induced him to accept s5.
Mrs. Bates lives at Dover, Kansas,
but for several months has been visit
ing her kinsman, j. G. Tinker, at Bow
ling Green. To say that she was re-
joiced at recovering her property is
putting 1t very mildly.

Herotsm of a rolLaate Keeper

COLUMBIA, Mo-, Jan. %. - Nathan
Mcbride, 20 years of age, said to be
the Oldest toll gate keeper in Missouri,
was badly and perhaps fatally burned
at a late hour last night in the per-
Torrance of a brave deed. He was
the keeper of the toll-gate on the Full
ton Gravel road, east of Columbia.
Last night he and his wife left the
house for a short time, and on return
ing found the building in flames. The
house was cheaply furnished and of
but little value, but it contained a
package of papers of much value to
the road company. To save these
papers the old man rushed into the
building. In cropping through the
flames and smoke his beard and eye
brows were burned from his face, and
he was otherwise badly injured, but he
saved the papers for which he sought.
The building and contents were entire
ly destroyed. There is some hope of
the recovery of the victim.

who was q member of the Supreme

Scott, and Col. Broadhead having
consented to do so, the presentation
will be made by him at the Supreme

TURKEY TO BE DIVIDED.
Russia Preparing for Action in the
Spring-The Gear to Appropri-
ate Constantlnople.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-The Daily Neus
this morning prints a dispatch from
Vienna which asserts that news has
been received there from CONSTANT
nople and Sebastopol which agrees
that Russia has a fleet lying at Sebas-
topol and at Odessa, and that the Cau-
casion armies of Russia are being con-
centrated upon the Armenian 'front.'
iers, in readiness to move next spring
to realize the plans of Peter the Great
for the partition of Turkey among the
Powers, Russia taking Armenia and
Constantinople, France taking Syria
and Palestine and England taking
Egypt and the eastern shores of the
Persian Gulf, the remainder of the
Turkish Empire to be divided among
the other Powers.
The Daily Netcs also has a dispatch
from Sebastopol which says that Sc
cret preparations are going forward
there of preparing shipping and arma-
ments for a volunteer feet. 1t is the
general belief there, this dispatch af-
firms, that these preparations fore
shadow some action in the spring.

APPLYING THE TORCH.
Exploits of the Insurgents About
Havana-0rder Passengers to
Leave a Train and Burn it.

HAVANA, Jan. 27.-The insurgents,
despite the governments assertions to
the contrary, appear to be doing just
about as they please in the neighbor-
hood of Havana. Yesterday a band OF
rebels stopped a train that was run
ming between Guanajay aud this city.
They ordered the passengers who
we're in a state bordering on Il panic
to leave the train, which order was
obeyed with alacrity. The passengers
feared they would be maltreated by
the insurgents, but their tears were
g~roundless, as the rebel leader courte-
ously informed them that they would
not be harmed, nor would their per-
sonal effects be molested. They would,
however, have to pursue their journey
Oh foot, as it was their intention to
destroy the train.
The commander then gave orders
for the torch to be applied to the cars
and soon nothing was left save the
iron work.
The train was captured about a
mile from San Antonio, to which place
the passengers walked and informed
the authorities of what had occurred.
Troops were Immediately dispatched
to the scene, but when they arrived,
the rebels had disappeared. The train
did not have one of the armored cars
which are used on several of the rail-
roads for the conveyance of troops to
guard the passengers and the railway
company's property.
Cars for this purpose are being built
on the Havana & Guanajay and as
soon as they are finished, which will
be shortly, they will be placed in serv-
ice. Passengers on the line will then
be able to travel IN security, unless
the insurgents take to removing the
rails, loosening fish plates or adopting
some other method to wreck the
trains. 1t is not believed, however,
that they will do this, as their efforts
are not directed toward harming pas
sengers on the railways, but to the
destroying of railroad property, when
it a be done without risk to passen-
