A New Outlet.

The lumbermen of this city are tax
ing advantage of the new outlet offered
them by the Big ferry lines from Man
itowoc to Benton Harbor, thence south,
east and west over the Big 4 system.
Last week marked the Inauguration of
this new state of affairs and cars are
now being billed over the c. M. & st.
T. to Junction City, from there over the
Wisconsin Central to Manitowoc. It is
to be hoped that this new route will
prove a source of relief to our lumber
men as they have ever felt that they
were Disseminated against in the mat
ter of freight rates.-Merrill News.

PUBLIC DEBT GROWS.
An Increase of $14,o7s, 735 is Shown
for January.

Washington, Feb. 2.-The statement
of the public debt shows the debt, less
cash in the treasury Feb. to have been
81, COZ, 0O8, BIZ AN increase for the month of
$14, 07S, 1876. This increase is accounted
for by a decrease of nearly $13 000, 900 in
the cash on hand. The decrease in the
cash is the result of the redemption of
SO, $50, 600 in matured Pacific railroad
bonds which will be held as a debt
against the company, and the interest
payments for the month, which amount
ed to $6,764,036
The debt proper, independent of the
cash on hand, was increased during the
month by 81, 100, 776, which is chargeable
to the increase in the amount of nation
al bank notes outstanding. The debt is
classified as follows: Interest bearing
debts $S47. 1854 $50; debt on which inter
est has ceased since maturity $1,3S2. $50;
debt bearing no interest 1914, 623, 057; to-
tai 81, 223, $40, 1877. This, however, does
not include $685., 975.573 in certificates
and treasury notes outstanding, which
are offset by an equal amount of cash
in the treasury.
The cash is classified as follows: Gold
$1S2. S67, 121; silver S153, 736. 348; paper
$144, 1872, 1877. Bonds disbursing officers,
balances, etc, ST., 93S, pa. Total $685.
553,910. against which there are demand
liabilities outstanding amounting to
S643. 191, 400, which leaves a net cash
balance in the treasury of $215. 362 APO,

DOUBT ABOUT TAYLOR.
It is Not Quite Certain That Authori-
ties Have the Right Man.

Hanford, Cal, Feb. 2.-While admit
ting that there is a doubt concerning
the identity of the man arrested here
on Friday, as George Taylor, the Mis-
souri, murderer and outlaw, the auth
critics are mostly certain that they
have made no mistake. He calls him
self "Rattlesnake Bill" and has been
identified positively by Lane, the Mis-
sourian who knew him from childhood
up to 1895 and was at his trial.
At the arrest after being handcuffed
the outlaw gave a look of recognition
at Lane and said:
You are chap that played detective
and threw me down. He was con-
fronted by Savers yesterday and with
out Sayers having said a word, Taylor
said he knew him, Sayers, or else his
brother. Later Savers saw Rattle
snake Bill' again and said to HIM:
George do you want to go back with
me?"
The prisoner replied: "I would as
soon go back with you as anyone, but
if you treat me as bad as your brother
did you will have a scrap on your
hands right off,
This is considered a damaging ad-
mission, for the brother of Savers re-
ferred to, helped to run Taylor down
for the Meezs murder. Thomas Crook
shanks of Visalia, who knew Taylor u
years ago and has only seen him once
since, commented on the stature of the
prisoner. who. he says is somewhat

STARVING GROW RIOTOUS.
Two Thousand Men Clamor for Street
Cleaning Jobs, and the Police
Have to Disperse Them.

New York, Feb. 2.-''For Gods sake give
me a chance to earn a dollar. Ny wife
and family are starving
This and similar appeals for work
broke forth from the lips of over 1000
hungry men at Broadway and Houston
street last night when an extra force or
about 800 men was put to work cleaning
For each job there were at least four
applicants DrOVeS of men SWarmed
Houston street. They all wanted employ
ment and their appeals to the different
foremen in charge of street cleaning for
ces were pathetic in the extreme.
When their Supplications were refused
many of them, urged on by hunger and
privation, became boistrous and threat
ening, and several small riots ensued-
Their rage increased when it was noised
about that Foremen BOStWick and Nc
Leary had given work to a. number whom
they considered the more deserving of the
applicants.
1T is impossible to give you all work,
men," said Foreman Bostwick, land 1
hope you will be reasonable
But the army of suffering humanity
turned a deaf ear to his admonition and
Followed him and the other foreman until
the latter became alarmed and summoned
the police from the Mercer street sta
ton.
Several officers were sent to the scene
of hostilities, and order was finally re-
stored. Nevert heleSs, the men, many of
them carrying shovels and brooms
marched up and down Broadway and in
tersecting streets. They were loud in
shouting their lamentations of poverty,
and it required the active vigilance of the
police to hold them in check.
There We're several hundred Italians in
StratiVe. In imperfect English and in
their own tongue, they made known their
demands and voiced their wants. 1t was
late before the unemployed men were in
duced to home.

DEMOCRATS MAY UNITE.
The Gold and Silver Wings Will Try
to Get Together.

Lexington, KY, Feb. 2-There is
movement on foot among the gold and
silver Democrats of Kentucky looking
towards an amalgamation between
these two wings of the party As
gold man, d. F. F'razee outlines the
plan as follows: Il earnestly hope the
Democrats of Kentucky via get to-
gether, and I see no good reason why
they should not. I believe if a plan
could be arranged by which a repre-
sentative gold Democrat and a repre-
sentative silver Democrat from each
county in Kentucky could meet and
talk over the situation some means
could be devised by which the party
could come solidly together.
OF course the men selected for the
proposed convention should be broad
minded men who have the best interest
of the party at heart. l hope such a
convention will be held in this city at
an early date. There are a great many
Democrats of both factions who think
as L do. I believe the majority of the
Democrats who voted for Mckinley be-
cause of the currency issue, do not at
all like the idea of affiliating perma-
nently with the Republican party, and
Z believe that they will be glad to stand
shoulder to shoulder with their old
Democratic comrades to fight the COM
mon foe"
The free silver Democrats, although
they fought the gold standard mem
bers of their party last fall are nearly
all in favor of burying the Ratchet and
uniting with their gold brethren.

POOR ASTOR MADE RICH.
Little William Brutality Assaulted
Given DAMAGES

New York, Feb. 2.-The award by
Jersey City jury of 900 to six-year-
old William W. Astor, son of Carl As
tor, of No. 222 Railroad avenue, Jersey
City, for injuries received at the hands
of George Brede, a local grocer, has
revived the story of 1.-The rich and the
poor Astors.''
The boy is one of the poor Astors.
and to his father the amount of this
verdict is an immense fortune But
there is no certainty that he will ever
get the money Grocer Brede is not
rich, and if he is too poor to satisfy the
judgment the boy will have to go with
out it.
- Carl Astor, father of the boy, claims
relationship to the New York Astors,
and relates this much of his family
history:
My boys name is William Waldorf
Aston. When Willie was named I sent
word to his rich relative that we had
chosen his name for our second son and
asked him to be the godfather. We got
no answer.
I'VE are all of the same stock, how
ever, for we came from Waldorf the
same as old John Jacob did, but we are
poor and John Jacobs descendants are
rich. That, you know, makes big
difference"

RAILWAY MAIL FRAUD.
The Government Loses Millions by
Padded Weights.

New York, Feb. 1.-The World in a
lengthy article, claims that the rail-
roads of the country are defrauding
and overcharging the government to
the extent of $40 200, 900 a year. This.
that paper alleges, is going on while
congressman and senators at Washing
ton are endeavoring to avoid a deficit
of $S,000,000 per annum in running the
postoffice department.
1t is claimed that the railroads are
receiving over $4,000 900 per annum,
when they are only entitled to $22, O00 =
900. The World says that railroad
managers have stuffed the mails with
free postal matter during a period of
80 days every four years, when the
government made it's quadrennial re-
weighing, and that for the other At
months of the term have drawn vast
sums from the Treasury.
1t is alleged that the Seaboard Air
Line was caught red-handed at this
but nothing was done. and the general
manager of the line, V. E. McBee, adj
hitting the practice said: There is no
legal or equitable reason why we
should withhold matter from the mails
during the weighing period" and then
declared that his line had been fol-
lowing the methods which were COM
mon upon all other railroads.
