Oglethorpe Echo: On Saturday evening j
la>t, when two negroes, named Richard anil
IH* Thomas, left their work they went through
the fields hunting, having their guns with
tbi-in. Not finding any game, they began
shooting at imaginary rabbits, squirrels, etc.,
in the .-hape of rocks, stumps and the like, i
that one would point out to the other, saying:
“Then-’s a rabbit or squirrel, shoot it." After
•while they got to stipposlngeach other game,

ibis ontinued for some time, until lie’s gun
was accidentally discharged, the load taking

THE MISSOURI PACT I IC.
The Lines to be Separated and Operated
Independent of the Gould System.
•St. Louis, June 28.—The announce
ment is now made that on J uly 1 all the
heads of departments of the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad whose jurisdiction has been
extended over the Wabash, will retire
from that road and the lines comprised in
that system will be operated independent
of the Gould system proper, aud, under
the new set of officers, the road
in luture will be operated by
a much smaller force than now.
The offices of the Wabash will be sepa
rated from those of the Missouri Pacific,
both here and elsewhere, and all the
agents of the former road will
be instructed to compete with
the latter, the same as with any other
road. The Wabash Railroad Company
has entered into an agreement with a syn
dicate of capitalists not yet named,"by
which the latter will take off the hands of
the former the Quincy, Missouri and Pa
cific Railroad extending from Quincy,
111., to Benton, Mo., with all attaching
obligations. The object of the syndicate
is said to be to operate the road
from Quincy to St. Joseph,, Mo.
in opposition to the Hannibal and St. Jo
seph Railroad. To do this they will con
struct the new road from St. Joseph to a
near point on the Rock Island and Pa
cific, and use the track of the latter
to Trenton; running thence over their
own line to Quincy. This route will be
only seven miles longer than the Hanni
bal and St. Joseph road, and is to be com
pleted inside of a year. Of the interest
designated in the petition of the receivers
of the Wabash Railway, presented in the
United States Court yesterday, $544,220
was defaulted June 1, and the remainder
falls due in various sums on the first of
each month from July to December.

AT THE NATION’S CAPITAL
RIVER AND HARBOR APPRO
PRIATIONS UNDER FIRE.
The “Land Grab’’ Question Laid I'pon
the Table—Cox, of New York, Pours
Oil on the Troubled YVaters—Amend
ments to the Eight-Hour Labor Rill—
One Representative Afraid of an Aris
tocracy of Labor.
Washington, June 28.—1n the Senate
to-day Mr. Plumb submitted the report of
the conference committee on the army
appropriation bill. The Senate agreed to
the report and ordered a committee of
conference on the clause relating to the
compensation to be paid to the Pacific
roads, the point on which the Senate in
sisted upon its amendment. The Chair
appointed Messrs. Logan, Plum and
Ransom as such committee.
Mr. ltlair, from the Committee on Pensions,
reported favorably the House bill to grant a
pension to the widow of Maj. Gen. James B.
Steedman. Placed on the calendar.
The Chair apiiointed Messrs. Hoar, Sherman
and Pugh as a committee of conference on the
part of the Senate on the Presidential count
bill.
Mr. McMillan gave notice that when the
general deficiency appropriation bill shall
nave been compiefen n sfn call up tho river
and harbor bill.
The general deficiency appropriation bill
was then taken up, and its consideration pro
ceeded with. The committee’s amendment was
.adopted striking out the proviso adopted iu
the House, that no part of the money appro
priated for District Attorneys and ihetr as
sistants should be used to pay special counsel
fees.
on motion of Mr. Hale, who said he acted in
the matter for Mr. Piumb, who was for the
moment absent, an item was added authoriz
ing the Attorney General to pay C. H. Reed
for services as counsel for the late Charles J.
Guiteau as much as he may deem just, not to
exceed $3,000.
The bill not being completed was read the
third time and passed. The amendments
above noted are the only substantial changes
made iu the bill, in addition to those reported
by the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
The regular order—the Atlantic aud Pacific
land grant forfeiture bill—was laid aside and
the river and harbor bill was taken up and
proceeded with.
On reaching the Senate committee’s pro
posed amendment appropriating $25,000 for
the improvement of the Coos river, Oregon,
Mr. Slater, aided by Mr. Poiph, succeeded in
getting the Senate to add $5,0.0 to the amount
allowed by the committee.
On reaching the item for Yoquina bay, Mr.
Slater moved to make the appropriation
$65,000 instead of $50,000. This was too much
for Mr. Frye, who said he would like to see
fair j>lay in regard to river and harbor expen
ditures," but Oregon had already got a great
deal more than it was entitled to,
if measured by I lie standard adopted
for other States. The Senate Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors had been com
pelled to give that State four times as much
as its proper share ju *t because there was on
that committee as (tersistent and importunate
a beggar for his State (alluding to Mr. Dolph;
as he (Mr. Frye) had ever known in his life.
Continuing, Mr. Frye asked where this bill
tvould end if the Senate were to increase the
amounts reported by the committee. The
committee, he said, had in the first
place undertaken to cut down the House
appropriations, and had succeeded in reducing
it SBOO,OOO. The bill was printed with that re
duction, and within six hours after that bill
had been cut down almost every single item
was back in the bill. If we should appropri
ate the amounts recommended by the engi
neers and others as “indispensable” we should
have a river aud harbor appropriation of $24,-
000.000.
Mr. Slater said the trouble was that the
Congress of the United States had under
taken to (mt this great nation of
60,000,000 people in a straight jacket,
and they could not accomplish the task. We
were developing with a rapiditv with which
Congress did not keen pace. The river and
liarborbill ought to be $25,000,000 a year. The
bill was far below the demands of the com
merce of the country.
Mr. McMillan thought there was no danger
that Oregon would sufl'er in the Senate. He
concurred in Mr. Slater's view that the river
and harbor bill should be increased because
of the rapid development of tlie coun
try. We could not make appropriations,
however, in anti cipation of the necessities of
localities and harbors. He hoped the Senate
would adhere to the committee’s recom
mendations, which it did. and Mr. Slater's
motion for tin increase was not agreed to.
Mr. I’ugh honed the Senate would not agree
to the recommendation of the Senate com
mittee reducing from $3.50,000 to $250,000 the
appropriation for continuing the improve
ment of the Tennessee river, including
Muscle Shoals. After remarks by Messrs.
Pugh and Harris, for a larger amount, and
Messrs. Conger aud McMillan, for a smaller
sum, the Senate disagreed to the reduction,
and replaced the original amount.
The Chair announced as a committee of con
ference on the part of the Senate on the legis
lative, executive and judicial appropriation
bill Messrs. Allison, Dawes and Cockrell.
Mr. McMillan gave notice of his intention to
move on Monday to limit the debate on the
river and harbor amendments to five minutes
for each Senator, and the Senate then, at 5:40
o'clock, went into executive session, and when
the doors were reopened adjourned.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House to-day, on motion of Mr. Hol
man, of Indiana, the Senate amendments to
the legislative appropriation bill were non
coucurred in.
Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, submitted the con
ference report on the joint resolution for
printing the report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture, and was agreed to. The joint
resolution appropriates $200,< 00 for printing
400.000 copies of the report.
The Speaker announced the appointment of
Messrs. Kosecranz, Morgan and Cutcheon as
a conference committee on the bill to reor
ganize the Bureau of Military Justice.
The speaker stated that the regular order
was the question of privilege coming over
from yesterday and presented bv the resolu
tion offered by Mr. Cannou, of Illinois, that
the Record be so amended as to show that the
speech purporting to have been delivered by
Mr. McAdoo, of New Jersey, in which allu
sion was made to Senator Logan, was not
actually delivered by him.
Mr. Cox, ot New York, after deprecating
the practice of priuting long essays in the
Record, said that tho present dispute arose
from the publication in the Record of an arti
cle from tne New York Star, stating that Sen
ator Logan owned 80,00) acres of land. It had
not been charged that he came by them
wrongfully. He (Mr. Cox) did not know that
Mr. Logan was a dishonest man. What was
the object of this discussion to-day, except to
prevent adjournment? Iu order to put an end
to the discussion he moved to lay the whole
matter on the table. [Cries of “Good!” and
“Vote!”] The motion was agreed to without
division.
Mr. Horr. of Michigan, from the Committee
on Appropriation, reported the fortifications
appropriations bill, aud it was referred to the
committee of the whole. Mr. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, on behalf of the minority of
the committee, submitted a substitute there
for. aqd it was given the same reference. Mr.
Horr gave notice that he would call up the
bill for consideration on Monday. The House
then, at 11:45, went into committee of the
whole (Mr. Springer in the chair) on the bus
iness reported from the Committee on Labor.
The bill considered was one providing for
the adjustment ot the accounts of laborers,
workmen and mechauics arising under the
eight-hour law. The hill is retroactive and
affects labor performed for the United States
since June 25, 1868.
Mr. Tillman, of South Carolina, opposed the
bill, characterizing it as a claim agents’ bill
and declaring it would permit another raid
on the Treasury, and not only to permit the
raid but to create an aristocracy of labor.
On motion of Mr. Hewitt, of Alabama, the
first section was amended so as to read as fol
lows: “That whoever as laborer, workman
or mechanic, hereafter employed by or on be
half of the Government of the United States,
shall be paid for each eight hours he has been
employed as for a full day’s work.”
On motion of Mr. McMillan, of Tennessee,
the second section was amended to correspond
with the first section so as to apply merely to
the future.
The committee tho arose. The Speaker an
nounced the following conference committees:
On the legislative appropriation bill, Messrs.
Hancock, Holman and Cannon; on electoral
count hill, Messrs. Eaton, Bennett aud Hart.
The House then adjourned.
The Coming Adjournment.
Washington, June 28.—The general
belief in an adjournment of Congress on
July 5 was greatly strengthened bv the
the businesslike way in which the House
laid aside its political squabble this morn
ing and proceeded to legislate. The Sen
ate showed a like desire to expedite busi
ness. The adjournment of Congress next
week depends on the appropriation com
mittees of the two houses. Their Chair
men say that it can easily be effected.
Alaska and the United States.
Washington, June 28.—The Ways

and is now complying with its contract

“THERE’SNOTHING IN IT.”

W ashington, D. C. June 28.—‘’There’s

tinued the Senator, “exchanged a word

THE FOREIGN MAILS TO BE SENT IN
TARRED SACKS.
V"ashington, June 28, 10 F. M.— The
Post Office Department has been informed
by the Italian Government that in view
of the outbreak of Asiatic cholera in
France the mails from this country, in
tended for delivery in Italy, must be in
closed in tarred sacks. This precaution
is regarded necessary because the Italian
mails pass through England and France
by railway. The Postmaster at New
York has accordingly been instructed to
inclose the mails in ereosoted tarpaulin
sacks until a supply of tarred sacks can
be secured.
Superintendent Crawford, of the For
eign Mails Bureau, said that he did not
believe there was any danger of an im
portation ot cholera in direct mails from
France, because the quarantine officers at
New York could be relied upon to inspect
them carefully. The greater part of the

comes via England, and the department
was not iuformed that the English Gov
ernment had adopted precautionary
measures against the dissemination of the
disease through the mails.

frontier. Virchow doubted whether the
disease at Toulon was Asiatic cholera.
He blamed the defective precautions taken
by the French Government, and drew
attention to the bad sanitary condition of
the Suez canal.
Herr Von Beittericb said, in reply to
this, that Prince Hohenlohe, the German
Ambassador at Paris, had reported that
France had adopted all necessary meas
ures. The German Government, he said,

Bonds Pnt Up as Margins Hypotheca
ted by the Firm.

Cole continued the taking ot testimony
to-day in the suit brought by Almon Good
win against Grant & Ward. From the

in 'October, 1882, Goodwin directed
the firm to purchase for his
account 300 shares of Western Union and
300 shares of American Cable stock,
which they represented that they had
bought. Goodwiu gave them as margin
ISO shares of other cable stock owned
by him. A few months later he ordered
them to buy some Texas and Colorado
Improvement Company’s certificates,
which they delivered to him, and hedepos
itedlOO additional shares of cable stock as
a margin. The firm subsequently called on
hint for more margins, and he gave Belt
Line Railroad bonds, and then
Texas Improvement Company certificates.
Spencer testified that the firm never
bought Western Union or cable stocks,
but it was entered in the books as pur
chased. The firm hypothecated all stock
deposited with them by Goodwin as mar
gin. and this Goodwin seeks to recover,
claiming fraud. Ward puts him in the
position of a simple depositor and not as
a principal in the stock transaction.

THE COBDEX CLUB BANQUET.
Lord CKrlingford on America aud Free
Trade—The Knglish-Mexlcan Treaty
Soon to be Concluded.
London, June 28.—Lord Carlingford
presided at the Cobilen Club banquet this
evening. He made a speech in which he
said America realized the benefits to be
derived from free trade. Her power and
influence would increase enormously. lie
hoped the cattle disease act, while ex
cluding diseased cattle, would not inter
fere with the importation of healthy cat
tle. He believed that before the next
meeting ot the club a commercial treaty
between England and Mexico would have
been concluded. Such a treaty, he
thought, would result in largely increased
dealings with Mexico. He thought Cob
den would have approved of England’s
policy of concord, with France and of
multiple control it) Egypt. He referred
to the time when England’s occupation
of Egypt and her responsibility there
would "cease, and said he hoped that
Egypt and the Suez canal would become
neutral grounds and be protected by all
the powers. He instanced as the result
of the arbitration among nations the set
tlement of the Alabama claims, which
prevented war between two great and
friendly nations.
I)r. Smith, of Sioux City, lowa, replied
on behalf of the toast, “Our Foreign and
Colonial Guests.” lie said he was a plain
man not given to making speeches. All
he would say was that revenue reform
was making great progress in America,
and the Cobden Club would probably hear
news of that progress within the next six
months.
BURIED IN A TRANCE.
The Supposetl Fate of a West Virginia
Bride of but Three Months.
One ot those ghastly stories of inter
ment beiore life has become extiuet. which
cause an involuntary shudder of horror to
pass through the reader, says a Wheeling,
W. Va., special of the 22d inst., to the
Philadelphia Press, is current in this city
to-night. The victim, so the story goes,
is a young married lady of 20 years. In
May, of last year, three months after her
marriage, the lady was taken violently
ill, and alter lingering for ten days, ap
parently died. There were certain pecu
liarities about the appearance of the sup
posed corpse, however, which caused a
suspicion in the mind of the attending phy
sician that his patient might be in a
trance; but after keeping the’
body for four days with no
signs of returning life, the re
mains were consigned to the grave, tem
porary interment being made in the family
lot in an abandoned graveyard. A day or
two ago the body was disinterred prior to
removal to another cemetery. To the sur
prise of the sexton the coffin lid showed
signs of displacement, and on its being
removed the grave-digger was horrified to
find the remains turned face downward,
the hands filled with long tufts of hair
torn from the head, and the face, neck and
bosom deeply scratched and scarred,
while the lining of the coffin had been torn
into fragments in the desperate efforts of
the entombed victim to escape from her
terrible fate. Since the discovery the
young husband has been prostrated and
his life is despaired of. The names are
withheld.
MORGAN SONS’ FAILURE.
Some Historical Facts Respecting tlie
Firm.
A New York special of June 21 says the
failure ot >l. Morgan Sons is attributed to
shrinkage in values of stocks and bonds,
especially in Denver and St. Paul. The
present Arm is composed of Henry and
Edward Morgan, the latter being at pres
ent on his way home from Europe.
Matthew Morgan, their father, estab
lished the firm about half a century ago.
He was formerly a shipping merchant,
and by him a large foreign exchange busi
ness, especially with Parisian houses,
was rapidly built up. In this way large
connections were also made with Southern
cotton firms, and their connection with
the New Orleans business was probably
closer than that of any other New York
firm. They were also agents for the New
Orleans Canal and Banking Company.
The New York, Providence and Boston
Railway Company made them transfer
agents here, but it is thought the suspen
sion will have little effect on this corpora
tion.
When Matthew Morgan died a few
years ago the firm was supposed to be
worth $3,000,000. They owned much real
estate, including interests in the New
York Hotel property on Broadway. The
social connections of the Morgans were
also very high, a daughter of Edward
Morgan having married August Belmont,
Jr., a brother of Representative Perry
Belmont.
The sons, however, failed to keep up
their father’s business, and are known to
have been prominent handlers of certain
stocks and bonds whose presence on the
list has attracted public attention only by
persistent attacks of paralysis during the
past year.
ELKINS’ FATHER PREFERS
THURMAN.
The Worthy Sire of a Degenerate Son a
Democrat.
Col. P. D. Elkins, of Santa Fe, says the
Kansas City 7 imes, was in the city yes
terday, en route to Deer Park, Maryland,
to spend the warm months at the resi
dence of his sou, Mr. Stephen B. Elkins,
the manager of the Blaine forces at the
Chicago Convention. “I suppose you are
cognizant of the reports to the effect that
Mr. Elkins will be appointed to a Cabinet
position in the event of Mr. Blaine’s elec
tion?” queried a Times reporter, ac
costing Col. Elkins at the Metropolitan
Hotel yesterday afternoon. “Y'es. I have
seen allusions in the papers to that
effect, and that is the extent of
my information. I know nothing of my
son’s plans, and I am not sure that he
would accept a portfolio if one were
offered him. He has very extensive in
terests of his own to look after.” -What
do you think of the Republican ticket?”
“If we are to have a Republican Presi
dent, I would prefer Mr. Blaine to any
man in his party, but I am, and always
have been, a Democrat, and hope to see
Alien G. Thurman in the Presidential
chair. He may not even get the nomi
nation, but he is, nevertheless, the great
est statesman in America.”
