A Horrible Find.

A horrible find was made by train
men on the Yazoo & Mississippi Val
ley Road near Port Gibson last week.
Near the flag station of Galloway the
trainmen picked up portions of the re-
mains Of an unknown white man, who
had evidently been run over by train
several nights previous. Portions OF
the body had been dragged about by
dogs and buzzards, the countenance
was completely destroyed, and moth
ing remained by which he might have
been identified even by those who
knew him.

The people along the line of the

abled to go to Memphis and do their
business and return in one day, where
as tina present schedule will compel

that public sentiment is against any
further infraction of the laws under

themselves to hereafter conduct their
business ho1orably and according to
law, and to see that each of the var

New York, Sept. 21.-The recovery
in the stock market to-day was gener-
ally accepted as proof that the bears
had been over-precipitate in selling
short yesterday, and felt obliged to
buy stocks to cover. The weather
news from the West made it evident
that the fears expressed yesterday of
frost damage had not been realized.
owing partly, it was believed, to the
cloudy conditions which saved the crop
from serious damage. Yesterdays SELL
ing for Western account was on an
enormous scale, based on the prospects
of frost damage. The warmer weather
of to-day consequently drove large
short interest to cover. The early un-
certainty of the market gave way to
increased firmness and a general up
ward tendency.
The rise in Union Pacific was attrib-
uted to a demand from shorts, but the
movement was surrounded with more
or less mystery and was the subject of
many rumors. But the strength of
Union Pacific caused an improvement
in the general list by sympathy. Unit
