Charleston. s. c., Peter Douglass crawled
out Of the hold looking somewhat the worse
for his experience. After bracing I'D he
managed to work his way up to Fort Mon
roe. where he supposed he would join his
company. but on presenting himself to the
officer in command there he Was told that
as the record there had shown that Peter
Douglass had been drowned they were re-
quired to consider him dead. even II he was
not dead. Douglass admitted that he was
pretty nearly dead, but that he had man.
aged to pull through. Anyhow. he was not
admitted to the quarters in the garrison
along; that he was out Of the army as sure
he had ever been In 1t. But Peter did
not go far away. That evening he met
some Of his comrades, three in number
from Governors Island. and they celebrated
his coming to life in true soldierly manner
The celebration wound up in the guard
house there. as did the celebrators The
record OF the guard house the next morning
showed that. though Peter Douglass had
been reported dead few days before, he
was very much alive. Two days afterward
the names OF the four were sent to the Of
icer In command as preliminary to hay-
Ing them court-martialed and punished for
disorderly conduct and other violations OF
the laws OF the garrison. The officer who
was a strong advocate OF the power OF rec
ord. ruled that as Peter Douglass had never
entered the garrison he could not be court
martialed. and that. in fact, Peter Douela 90
was dead beyond resurrection. He was
therefore. turned out and again told to
move on. but as he did not realize that he
was dead he did not do so. He hung
around the garrison for some time, but
finally wandered away and got back to
New York. Officially he has remained dead
ever since. for the record has never been
changed. The officers preferred to let him
remain dead and get him out Of the army
In that way than to try and reform him by
court-martial. for he seemed to be beyond
reform.

mean a greater development OF the
rich agriculture district in North Dako-

Just how far north the line will be

IL will extend far enough to open up
a territory which Is conceded to be
as good for agricultural purposes as
any in North Dakota. and with the
combination of coal and agriculture
the future for any road extending into

The Annual Meeting Now on at Tope.
ka Kansas

Topeka, Dec. IA number of i'm
portant subjects are to be considered
at the annual meeting of the stockhol-
ers of the Atchison, Topeka G. Santa

will be elected. and independent audit.
crs will be appointed. The stockhold.
firm the purchase of the stocks and

ganized to construct extensions in Ok

pursuance of the policy heretofore fol-
lowed, further to consolidate mad uni
fy the system by vesting, as far as pos
sible. the legal title of the various lines
controlled in one company.
The 1876 miles composing the Santa
Fe system is now divided as follows:
Atchison, Topeka, & Santa Fe. 4.S43

1T miles; Santa Fe Pacific, S75 miles;
Southern California, ATS miles; San
Francisco and San Joaquin Valley
road. 372 miles, and the Southern Kan
sas & Texas, 129 miles.
For both statistical and operating
purposes it Is believed the manage

that is being built from a point be-
tween Albuquerque and FL Paso TO the
Pecos Valley & Northwestern. which
will shorten the transcontinental line
and obviate difficult grades on the

NOTHING OFFICIAL IN LONDON.
1t Is Known, However, That Serious
Trouble Has Been and Is Still
BREWING in Venezuela

London, Dec. 1.-The foreign office
at l o'clock this afternoon was still
without official news from Venezuela.
The officials were glad to hear of the
release of the British subjects. but
were unable to express any opinions
on the press dispatches, except to say
that they presumed they were correct.
In connection with the reported seiz-
ure of the Venezuela customs house
the foreign Office officials say that ar
rangements for that step nave not been
completed. Before any general seiz
ure could occur Germany, Great Brit
ain and other nations would have to
come to an agreement for pro rata
division and adjustment of their re-
spective claims, similar to that arrived
at by the powers in China, except that
the La Guayra custom house may pos
sibly have been seized purely as mil
itary measure. Though the seizure of
the custom houses will take place ev-
entually, it is pointed out that while
hostilities are in progress the customs,
as a fiscal institution, are practically
valueless.
In the house of commons today Un-
der Foreign Secretary Cranborne con-
firmed the reports of the capture of
three Venezuelan vessels at La Guayra
and the disablement of the fourth YES
sci without resistance, and also con-
firmed the capture of the Venezuelan
gunboat Boliver at Port of Spain,
Trinidad.
Two of the prizes. he added, were
sunk.
The under secretary also said that
the release of the British subjects at
Caracas had also been demanded, but
up to that time the government had not
been advised that the demand had been
complied with.
The government had no official in
formation of the reported arrest of the
British Consul at Caracas. The latest
information received was that he had
left Guayra yesterday evening. The
British subjects arrested had not been
harmed.

An ley Bath.

penter, had an experience that he will
not soon forget and while it was not
especially enjoyable to him, the incl
dent furnished much amusement to the
pay party with him. A number of
young ladies and gentlemen were out
hunting up the Pecos river. Mr..
Holmes took his horse from the buggy
and drove it with the harness on, down
to the water to drink, but the horse
seemed to think the water on the other
side was better and made for it. Mr..
Holmes was afraid to turn him loose
twelve miles from town, so he held on
to the reins and the horse pulled him
across the river through the icy water
to a sand bar. His lady companion sat
in the buggy and saw her escort
ducked. AS it was cold and chilly and
the incident happened early in the
morning, ar. Holmes pleasure for the
day was somewhat marred-Rosyell

IN THE HOUSE.
Election Contest Case from Missouri
Foot and Mouth Disease.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE house to-
day set aside Sunday, January 25, for
paying tribute to the memory of the
late representative, Charles Russell,
of Massachusetts.
Mr. Olmstead, of Pennsylvania, of
the committee on elections, called up
the bill which limits the time for TAX
ing testimony in the contested election
case of Wagner VS.. Butler from the
Twelfth Missouri district. The sitting
member in this case was reelected
to fill vacancy created by the action
of the house in unseating him at the
last session. At the November cleo
tion this year he had something over
5000 plurality on the face of the re-
turns. His opponent charged system
attic and stupendous fraud" and the
election committee reported the reso-
luton to shorten the time for taking
testimony in order that the house
might pass upon the case before the
expiration of the session, March 4
next. Mr.. Richardson, the minority
leader, raised the question of consid-
GRAFTON against the report. The house
voted 1876 to ia to consider the re-
port.
Pending its consideration Mr. Wads-
worth, of New York, reported from the
committee on agriculture a bill to ap-
propriate s1,000,000 to eradicate the
foot and mouth disease among live
stock in New England and gave no.
tice he would call it up tomorrow.
Mr.. Richardson then made the point
of order that the report of the election
committee was directly in the teeth of
the federal statutes fixing the time for
taking testimony and was not privi-
legged.
The speaker ruled the house having
voted to consider the report the point
of order came too late.
