Another Consignment of

The mail which left Eagle Oct. IS has not yet made its appearance in Rampant. There was no reason apparent from the condition of the river at this place why the carrier should not be able to come the en- tire distance in a small boat, and he was expected to arrive here not later than Oct. 26; but as time passed and he did not appear it was concluded progress had been blocked by a heavy flow of ice from the Porcupine.
 Oct. B Manager Duncan dis patched Alvin Paxson up river with instructions to wait at Fort Hamlin till after the 25th and then continue till the mail was met.
 Three other carriers are up river ready to assist in bringing down the missing mail.
 Manager Duncan is not inclined to think anything serious is the matter. He does not know who left Eagle with the missing con- signment.

PREACHER AND HIS SERMON
On Trial Because of Charge That
He Caused a Lynching.

A dispatch says: The Newcastle
Presbyterian church decided today to
try Rey. Mr.. Elwood of Wilmington,
Del, on charges in connection with
the preaching of sermon by him last
June, entitled "Should the Murderer
of Helen Bishop be Lynched?" The
trial will take place in the Presbyteri-
an church at Newcastle February 2.
The decision to give Mr.. Elwood
ecclesiastical trial was not decid-
ed upon until after a bitter debate OF
several hours. Mr.. Elwood demanded
a public trial, The question of trying
him in public has not yet been deter
mined.
The complaint against Mr.. Elwood is
that he delivered a sermon at Will
milington, which it is alleged so
worked upon the people that the next
night mob gathered, stormed the
work house, took out George White,
the colored man who confessed to as
saulting and killing Helen Bishop, and
burned him at the stake.

ROTHScHILD'S FUNERAL.
Dogs, Horses and Empty Vehicles
in the Procession.

Baron Arthur de Rothschild's flu
neral at Paris the other day is thus
described: First came lofty car
riage liz which were the rabbis who
officiated at the obsequies. Following
were 150ibank collectors wearing the
uniforms of their institutions. Then
came the hearse, a magnificent vehicle
richly draped In black and vita tall,
nodding plumes. Behind the hearse
tramped some of the richest men in
Europe, who had been business associ-
ates of the late baron. 1t was the next
contingent which drew the rapt atten-
ton OF the boulevardiers, Rothschild's
butler, wearing the short breeches
and other habilaments of his service,
strobe p0mpously at the head of the
scores of servants composing the reti'
nue. uof the Rothschild house. An
empty coupe drawn by the baron's ia
vorite horse led the next division, in
which the late baron's hunting service
was represented. Files of retainers
many of whom held one or more
hounds in leash, which occasionally
broke the silence of the cortege by
their baying, were kept in line by the
masters of the hunt. Bringing up the
rear of the procession was the favor
tie automobile of the baron. The Ian
terms were lighUed, but none except
the chauffeur rode in the car. 1t pulled
6tfully as the Chauffeur halted and went
ahead lntermittenGly to keep in line
with the slow-moving cortege. 1 he
procession passed through the streets
OF Paris to Pere la Chaise, where the
body was buried.

are following me with the hope that
they will discover where that $4,000
is, but they are on cold chase"
AS soon as he reached San Antonio
he was driven in carriage to his home.
Beeler's crime was amazing IN it's
nerve and effrontery. The money stol-
en- by him had been sent to the South
ern Pacific Railway company to San
Antonio for it's paymaster to use for
paying its men on the payroll from
San Antonio to Ell Paso. 1t reached
the Wells-Fargo Office early on the
morning of December ,.28, 1898, and at
one o'clock in the afternoon was turn
ed over to Beeler to be taken to the
/ Southern Pacific depot.
According 20 the testimony given at
| the trial no one remembered seeing
Beeler going in the direction of the
Southern Pacific depot. An old negro
drove the horse and wagon last seen
with Beeler back to the Office of the
company about 5 o'clock that after
noon. He said that he found the team
about FIVE miles west of San Antonio.
The package containing the money
was missing. The officers of the ex-
press company at once realized that a
robbery had been committed, and the
/ police department. was notified, with
tseveral secret service men in the en-
| ploY of the company, who left in a
hurry for the place where the wagon
! was found by the negro. There the
officers found indications that a horse
| had stood tied TO a fence some time.
This showed that the robbery had
been carefully planned.
The tracks were followed to a viii
lage several miles from San Antonio,
but were then lost.
The work OF tracing Beeler was,
however, continued without cessation.
Large rewards were offered by the ex.
press company for his arrest, but with
out effect.
Finally the officers were told that
Beeler had been seen in the mountains
near Monterey. He was found there
by the officers, admitted his identity
and came back to Texas without a
requisition. To the chagrin of the Of
ficers Beeler was minus the money
with the exception of about $500.

The pursued man is Charles Beeler,

where Beeler has hidden the $4,000

Co. in 1858. But Beeler, having served
FIVE years ia the penitentiary digging
coal, thinks be has squared accounts
with the law.

acc uainted with the facts is vastly in
terested in the battle of wits. =
When he was released from prison
he laughed as he recognized the fact
that he was followed, but constant
espionage wears on the strongest
minds, and Beeler begins to show the
strain. The detectives have been
changed several times TO throw Beeler
of, but without avail. His sharp eyes
are always on the alert.
Lay your hands on that $50, 900 and
we will make YOU give it up" say the
detectives.

NO KICK COMING NOW.
A Romantic Love Story With a
Moral.

First love, if it be true and deep, is
hard to eradicate. Eighteen years
ago Joe Garcia, a farm hand, was
kicked off farm at Wilkesbarre, Pa,
because he dared to love his employ"
er's daughter and tell her so. But
the kicking did not cool Joe's passion.
He went west and grew up with the
country. Now he is an important OIL
ciall of the Santa Fe railroad, with
headquarters Albuquerque, N. M.
When fortune smiled on him and he
became firmly fixed in his railroad po-
situon he returned TO Pennsylvania to
look up his sweetheart, and after some
weeks found her in Philadelphia still
single. She had remembered the farm
hand lover and was true to him, and so
thew were married. Papa-in-law is
now perhaps proud of the son-tn-iaw
he once kicked.

STOPPED FIFTEEN BAD EGGS
MR., SEAWELL GETS VERDICT AGAINST
SEABOARD AIR LINE FOR $4,000.
The Termination of a Remarkable Suit
for Damages in Which Republican
Candidate Was Aggrieved Party.

Candidate was Aggrleved Fdrty.
Forty-fve hundred dollars for fifteen
odoriferous eggs is the price the SUI
preme court of this state has just put
on this article of commerce by decis-
ion in the action of Henry F. Seawell
against the Seaboard Air Line rail-
way, SAYS a Raleigh, N. c., dispatch
to the New York Press.
In the year 1000 MIR. Seawen was the
republican candidate for lieutenant
governor. During the campaign he
went to the town of Shelby to fill an
appointment of Senator Marion But
Ter. In the course of his remarks he
excited the anger of the democrats in
his audience by a scathing denunci-
alton of the methods of their party.
The democrats attempted to prevent
Mr.. Seawell from finishing his speech
and be denounced them in unmeasured
terms for their rowdyism.
After his speech Mr.. ,Seawell went
to the railroad station and a crowd of
Infatuated democrats followed him.
Mr.. Seawell bought his ticket and
proceeded to promenade on the plat
form. He was faultlessly dressed in
high silk hat, black Prince Albert
coat, white vest, doeskin trousers and
patent leather shoes, and carried q
gold headed cane.
The democrats armed themselves
with eggs which had been in existence
several months under hot sun, and as
Mr.. Seawell appeared on the platform
the eggs we're hurled at him. They
burst all around him, 'and fifteen by
actual count struck his apparel. In
addition to the disgusting appearance
which the contents of the eggs gave to
his clothes, the intensified odor aris-
ing therefrom made Mr.. Seawell de-
spise himself for the time being and
kept his friends at a distance.
For this indignity and assault and
battery Mr.. Seawell brought suit
against the Seaboard Air Line Com
pany, because the agent at the station
and other employees of the company
actively engaged in dashing stale eggs
against him. The case was tried in
the superior court and was decided in
favor of the plaintiff. The supreme
court has just affirmed the decision of
the superior court, with an intimation
that the jury might have increased the
amount of damages without making
the sum excessive or exorbitant.
