MINOR MATTERS. General Sheridan Favors an Annual Drill of Militia In Washington. Ipecial to the Indlananolis Joartiau Washixo,to.v, Jane 12. General Sheridan appear to he determined that an annual national Jnll shail he held in Washington, and will probably talc occasion to recommend, in hia next annua! report to Congress, that suitable appropriation be made for prizes, eta, to make the scheme a success. The 'military organizations participating in the recant national drill were as unit in expression their admiration of the magnificent ellipse south cf the executive mansion, where the recent contests took place, and declared it couij not be surpassed in any other city in the Union. "Should the drills ho made a national affair, and be conducted by government officials simply." said a prominent Washin Etonian to-day, ''the will doubtless proTe a great success, and of much benefit to the Capital City. But no private enterprise of the kind can be successfully carried out where sereral gentlemen attempt to conduct the affair according to iheir own narrow views, irrespective of the opinion of the masses, as was the ease in the late undertaking, whieh resulted in a loss of upward of $33,000 to its projectors. " The Secretary of Legation at Vienna. Washington Special. Oen. Alexander Lawton when ha was here last week expressed a desire that Mr. James Fencer Lee, who has long been charge d'affaires at Vienna, should remain as secretary of the Austrian legation; but to that time nothing had been officially heard from Mr. Lee. General Lawton was informed at the department that Mr. Lee was all that could be desired in a secretary of legation, an accomplished gentleman, a liguist, familiar with tbe duties of the position and agreeable to the Austrian government. But, to judge from private letters received from Mr. Lee, of which, however, the State Department has as yet no official knowledge, his determination not to remain as secretary of legation is unalterable. His friends say that ho supposed that he would be promoted to be minister. specially as he was so successful in helping to remove the differences which for a time existed between the two governments, and that he does not care to remain in Vienna in a subordinate position. Mr. Lee, fortunately for himself, is not dependent upon a government salary for support. Southern Battle Flags To Be Returned. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, June 12. The Sunday Capital to-day publishes the following: "The President Is said to have promised Adjutant-general Johns tone Jones, of North Carolina, during his recent visit to this city, that all the flags taken from the Southern States duriog the late war should be returned to those States at an early date. This resolve on the part of the President Ismalnlydue to the instrumentality of Adju tant general Drum, a thoroughly national man. wbo wishes to withdraw from yublic gaze all mementoes of internecine strife.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

The renn & (ian tompany uet into a Legal Squabble with State Officials. Fall of a Hnfre Meteoric Stone in Vanderburg County Funeral of the Late Dr. Raw I a at Connersyille Notes and Gleanings. INDIANA. - The Legal Fight Between Ferln & Gaff and the State Authorities. BpeclM to the Indiaraoolls Journal. JcrFERsosviLLE, June 1L Tbe Perin & Gaff Manufacturing Company, for a number of years contractors doing business at the Prison South, bave got into a legal squabble with the State. The State has a claim of $12,000 against tbe company for convict labor employed by them. Yesterday morning a writ of attachment was received by Sheriff Bay from the Attorney- gen eral, and he immediately levied on all the machinery owned by the firm, and stored at M. li. Sweeney & Bro.'s warehouse in the east ern part of tbe city. The Perin & Gaff com pany has a claim of (6,000 against the State, which they say has never been satisfied. Soon . after the company began business at the prison the old shops which they were occupy ing burned down, necessitating the erec tion of new ones. The Perins erect ed new ones at a cost of $G,000, with an understanding between themselves and Jack Howard, then warden of the orison, that they were to be reimbursed the amount expended in erecting the new buildings. The amount has never been reimbursed and hence their refusal to pay the claim held against them by the State. The ease will come up in tbe Circuit Court next week, and will, in all probability, before it is settled, be carried to the United States Court. Tbe Perins ate worth millions, and will fight the case to the bitter end. Fall of a Hag Meteor. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansvilt.k, June 12. A report reached this city, this evening, that a meteoric stone had fallen near St Joseph, in this county, this morning. The stone fell about eight miles from this city, and not far from toe village of St Joseph. It woe heralded b y a sbarp sound and a slight jar, which was at once regarded as an earthquake. It was soon ascer tained that an enormous projectile had pierced the atmosphere and hurled itself with great force against the earth. It was found to have imbedded itself in the earth to a depth of fifteen feet, and in descending had struck a large tree which was shattered into fragments. Several pieces of the stone were found about the cavity where it had entered tbe earth. Tbese, upon examination, were found composed largely of obsidian and are extremely hard. They also had a very strong sulphurous smell. The specimens have been sent for. The imbedded stone will require considerable labor to reach. Several persons are thinking of pro ceeding at once to the place and securing it if possible. Funeral of Dr. Rawls. tpecial to tue Indianapolis Journal. Connkrsvili.k, Juue 11. The funeral of Dr. David Kawis took place to-day under tbe aus pices of the Masonic order, of which he was a prominent and life-long member. It was tbe largest funeral known here for many years, the cortege extending over many squares. Near a hundred Masons were in line, including Raper Commandery, of Indianapolis. Prominent Ma sons were also present from Kushville. Liberty. Brownsville and other places. I he ceremony was very impressive, and the noral emblems were profuse. Judge Elliott conducted tbe Masonic ceremony in an unusually feeling man ner- Harry Adams and quite a number of other prominent citizens of Indianapolis were also present Hunting for Gas. The drill in well No. 2 of tbe New Castle Nat ural-gas Company struck Trenton rock on Friday morning and on Saturday morning bad reached a depth of forty feet in tbe rock without any indi cation of gas. Money was raised to "shoot" tbe well, which will be done as soon as the arrange ments can be made. The contract has been let for a third well, which will be commenced at once. After several tedious delays work on the gas well at Greencastle is progressing rapidly. The well is now about six hundred feet deep. Sixinch casing baa been put down to a depth of 303 feet, and below that four-inch casing is used. According to present indications Trenton rock will be found at a depih of about nine hundred feet, which fact is regarded by experts as exceed ingly favorable for tbe finding of gas. Minor Notes. W. R. Wilson has been elected school super intendent of iienry county. Ed Seybert of Dogwood, a suburb of Ander son, tooled with a self-acting revolver and sent a 32 caliber ball through his knee. He will be a cripple tbe remainder of his life. Charles Bowers, a constable, of Butler town ship, Miami county, has been sentenced to two years in tbe northern prison, disfranchised for two years and fined $1, for accepting a bribe of $20 and permitting a prisoner to escape. George 1'helps, who, for twentv-one years past, has been teamster to the Hoosier bending factory, in Wabash, on Friday was kicked by a borse wbicb be was currying. Phelps s injuries were not considered of a serious character, but he gradually grew worse and died. Albert Moore, the foreman of a saw-mill a few miles west of Rochester, was engaged in sawing logs, when his rignt root supped from tbe car riage and coming in contact with tbe eirenlar saw the member was severed at tbe ankle, then lust below the knee and again above the knee. throwing tne nmo mirty reel away. The un fortunate fellow died in a few minutes there after. ILLINOIS. Report of the State Korean Concerning the Weather and the Crops. Springfield, June 11.

Mrs. Franz Krantz and husband, on trial at Yorkville, were acquitted of the charge of murdering Mrs. Krantz's former husband, Fred Shoger, in February, 1830. by poison. The trial occupied eight days, and was very exciting. Gen. John C. Black. Commissioner of Pen sions, was tendered a reception at Springfield. Friday night, and delivered a short speech. It is intimated that the General is seeking the nomination for Vice-president on the Demo cratic ticket The excited condition of the people of Tuscola, and tbe serious talk of lynching Joseph Glaze, who assaulted Fannie Glaze, nine years of age, caused Deputy Sheriff Cutler to take bis prisoner out of jail, and by a strategic movement get him on board of the cars, when he waa transferred to the Charleston jail for safe-keeping. The Death of W. E. Sheridan. Ss Francisco. June 12. Further particulars of the death of the tragedian. William E. Sheridan, have been detailed by the captain of tbe steamship Alameda, which arrived Yesterday from Australia. Mr. Sheridan was in poor health while in Australia. While sitting as a spectator in a Sydney theater, on the night of May 17, he waa stricten with a fainting-fit He died at 3 o'clock the following morning, having remained unconscious from the time of being taken ill. ilrs. Sheridan reached her husband's side two

hours after his death, having been summoned from Adelaide, where she was filliog an engagement Mr. Sheridan, just before his departure on his Australian tour, wrote the following selection from Louis XI in a San Francisco friend's album: "Pray for me! Pray. I entreat. Pray, I command." The page upon which the tragedian wrote was blue, and he added: . My last words in 'Frisco. Yours, in remembrance of a sojourn sometimes pleasant, sometimes sad. W. E. J5HKB1DAK. P. S. The blue is thoroughly indicative of me.

CCRKEM LITERATURE. Topics DiStnssed by the Summer Magazines Some New Books. A portrait of Connt Tolstoi, tbe Russian novelist, philosopher and social theorist, forms the frontispiece of the June Century, and, perhaps, to the majority of readers, the most interesting article in the succeeding pages is the sketch, by George Kennan, of a visit to that eccentric personage. Living upon an estate valued at C00,000 roubles, he lives in the plainest possible style consistent with comfort, dresses like a peasant, works in the fields, and after dinner dnring bis visitor's stay occupied himself at his shoemaker's bench in the common sitting room of the family. His apparent inconsistency in retaining possession of his estate while holding the views which he does in regard to the common ownership of property is explained by tbe writer on the theory that bis family is not in entire accord with his principles and oppose the practical carrying out of bis ideas. . Of his novels, curiously enough, Tfetoi spoke slightingly, but showed gratification 1ft. the world-wide interest which bad been exerted by his tracts on religious and social topics. Some of these he has been forbidden by the government to print but tbey cannot be suppressed altogether, bektograph and lithograph copies being circulated in large numbers; other pamphlets are circulated by the million amonjf all classes of society and are discussed at every fireside. The chapter of Lincoln history in this issue comprises an account of the Preston Brooks attack on Sumner, with its bearing on subsequent events, and a brief history of tbe Dred Scott dt-cision and the attitude taken by Lincoln and Douglas in regard to it Gen. E. M. Law carries the war history through the Wilderness to Cold Harbor, and G. Norton Galloway, the historian of the Sixth Corps, describes vividly the hand-to-band fighting at Spottsyl vania. W. O. Attwater continues his papers on the chemistry of foods and nutrition, and those who are interested in their own internal economy may learn with scientific exactness how food nourishes the body. Elizabeth Stuart Pbelps contributes a short story, which comprises a sermon, a temperance treat and a love story in one, and, like all ber fiction, is full of pathos. The gem of the poetical contributions is a sonnet entitled. "When. She Comes Home," by James Whitcomb Riley. The current number of the Journal of tbe American Medical Association, edited by Dr. N. S. Davis, of Chicago, contains a three-column review of Dr. Theophuus Parvins recently issued work on obstetrics, in which it Bays: "We regard Parvin's Obstetrics as the best exposition of tbe subject issued from the American press np to the present time, and we know of no book equal to it in all respects tbat has emanated from an English source. Clearness, force and elegance are the essential qualities of his style. Tracesof a refined and delicate humor pervade the book, but the dignity of the subject ia never lowered by coarse or unseemly jest Parvin's book is entertaining; no one can go to sleep over it In the choice of words, their number and arrangement, tbe acute student of verbal criticism is at once apparent" This is very high praise. . Dr. Parvin had bis work well under way before leaving this city to take the chair of obstetrics in Jefferson Medical Collece, Philadelphia. Hi opportunities there for farther study, combined with the duties ot teaching, delayed tbe appearance of the boon until recently. Dr. Parvin has always given much attention to the historical de velopment of medical subjects, a field of work for which he was especially qualified. Down-east Latch-strings, or Sea Shore, Lukes and Mountains, is a handsomely-printed volume of 270 pages descriptive of the tourist region of New England, and although issued by the pas senger department of the Boston & Maine railroad partakes very little of the character of ordi nary railway advertising literature. Written by Lrnest Ingersoll in the shape or a History of a summer's trip by three pleabure-seekers and ac companied by mapp and a profusion of beautiful illustrations, tbe work is one to be read with in terest for the instruction it contains, and as a guide book will be invaluable on a journey through tbe region described. The Cosmopolitan, which has been issued from Rochester, announces in its June number that it will be published hereafter at New York, and will be enlarged from 6-1 to 80 pages. Messrs, Set lict & Fnld, the founders, have been very successful in their effort to produce a low-priced ma gazine of good literary character, and this change of location and increase of size promise even better for the future. The first volume of Irving'a "Life of Wash ington" has been issued by John B. Alden, New York, and will shortly be followed by the three remaining volumes. ' Well-printed on good paper, and in a handsome library binding of balf morocco, maroled edges, this set is sold at the remarkably low price of $4; bound in cloth it is furnished for ?J. Orders should be sent direet to the publisher. Outing, which in every number contains liter ature adapted to the tastes of mountain or sea, widerness or crowded pleasure resort talks in its June issue, among other things, of trouting in the Rocky mountains, American canoeing, the building of an "outing" cottage, and Long Branch as a summer resort. Thomas Stevens describes his journey through Khorassan on a bicycle. The Art Age devotes a portion of its space to illustrations of artistio furniture, and the June number contains descriptions of cabinets and other articles which may be readily .manufact ured by persons of a moderate degree of mechanical skill. A Forbes photogravure of an Italian girl and an engraving of a steamer in a fog are the supplements with this issue. Nothing more artistic and charming is to be found in any periodical for young or old than the illustrations in Our Little Ones and The Nursery. The very spirit of childhood is in them, and the text is equally attractive. Kussell Publishing Company, Boston. The topics treated of in the second number of Home Knowledge are "Vaccination and Hydrophobia," "When Are We Old?" "Mesmerism." 'Wood Manners," "l ne atory or a Jfrivate" and "The Henry George Theories." Scribner's June Book Buyer contains as its frontispiece a portrait of II. Rider Haggard, the novelist, and follows it with a brief sketch of his Obituary. Newport, R. L, June 12. Job I. Langley, an ex-member of the city government, and prominent in business circles, died to-night at his res idence in this city. Bostojt, Jnne 12. James N.

Edwards and his wife jumped from an np-stairs window, taking two other children, or all would have perished. Horizontal 1 actio. Philadelphia Press, There are rumors of serious quarrels among the members of the Interstate Commission. It may be that Mr. Commissioner Morrison is trying to revive his great horizontal plan of reform ing things.

AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS.

A Marked Improvement in Freight Traffic The train records show that in the week end ing on June 11 there were received and forwarded at this point 1,329 more loaded cars than in the week preceding, 617 more cars than in the corresponding week of 18S6, and 977 more than in the corresponding week of 1885. Something of an increase is noticeable in shipments to in terior points East and a heavier movement of export business, tbe increase being largely made np of flonr and wheat with a considerable sprinkling of lnmber, and there is a better live stock movement eastward than for some time past West-bound, there was a marked increase in tonnage over the through lines, the west bound shipments over both the Bee-line and the C St L. & P. being some 500 cars in excess of the east-bound movement While there is heavy tonnage of railway supplies, there is also an unusually large movement for Jnne of merchandise. Harvest implements . still form an important percentage of the freight moving westward. North-and-sonth roads are doing an excellent business, now that the rates have been adjusted to enable shippers to resume operations. Local business was never better in June than this vear. both in and out bound, and the freight handled is carried at good rates, there being no epecial rates, or in other words, cuts below tariff. The small and tbe large shipper get the same rate, and the earnings from local traffic toot up handsomely. At most of the city depots platform-men and clerics are working over-time, consequently the freight agents hope to remedy the matter somewhat by receiving no freights after 5 p. M. . which will give more time for billing and loading, and in fact will benefit a majority of the shippers, as their goods will get oil tbe same day on nearly all lines. There is a large per cent or the groceries and dry goods shipped which conld as well be on the platforms at tne depots by 2 p. m. later. Below is given the number of cars received and forwarded at this point last week, as com pared with the corresponding weeks of 18SC and 188a:

A lawyer wbo keeps himself well posted as regards railroad deals, intimates that the names of two directors of the affairs of t he Pennsylvania road will appear in the soon-to-be-elected directors of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton. James McCrea tells a reporter of the Pittsburg Dispatch that there is no truth in the report that Mr. McKeen sold the Vandalia line because he was not in accord with the views of the Pennsylvania Company officials. He sold the road, Mr. McCrea says, simplv because he felt that the time had come when he could get the top-notch price for it A high official of the Pennsylvania road has been talking quite freely with a representative of the New 1 ork press regarding the Yandalia deal. "Mr. Henry C Ives," he said, "is getting credit for being a great strategist by securing control of the Vandalia line,' but when the true situation of himself 1 and associates in stepping into Mr. W. R. McKeen's shoes becomes apparent, as it will shortly, they will find that they have paid rather dearly for their whistle." The Pennsylvania's rights remain the same whether McKeen runs the road, or Ives, cr anybody else. It could have forced Mr. McKeen to give it equal privileges over the line to St Louis. It can do so with his successor, lt owns absolutely the Vandalia road proper from Terra Haute to St Louis. The present Pennsylvania Company management is not responsible for the lease made of its Vandalia road to the Terre Haute & Indianapolis company. The existing condition of affairs is an inheritance from a former administration. The company has been dissatisfied with McKeen's interpretation of this lease for years, but has been patient with him. until a state of affairs had been reached when McKeen knew a settlement would be demanded at an early day. Instead of being a grand coup by the Baltimore & Ohio, resulting in carving a monstrous slice' out of the Pennsylvania property, it is nothing more than the purchase of a lot of hasty speculators of the Torre Haute & Indianapolis line between Indianapolis & Terre Haute, the Pennsylvania Company being able, at its will, to get back its Vandalia road, and by connecting with the C C, C. & I. road at Terre Haute, to use that road into Indianapolis, under an agreement made with the C, C, C. & I. company several yr ars ago." On Saturday the C, H. & D. succeeded in securing a through wire between Cincinnati and St Louis, by attaching their wire to the wire running into the office of 11. P. Wetsell, general agent at this point, and this now becomes the repeating office. The Terre Haute Mail says that the election of George Farrington assistant secretary of the Vandalia means tbat he is to look after the affairs of the Vandalia as a general agent The Mail adds tbat as long as he is there, the road will look like a Terre Haute institution. A Freight War Threatened. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, June 12. Tbe agreement recently made between the Eastern joint committee roads and tbe roads between Chicago and the Missouri river for the adjustment of the difficulties regarding the division of rates at the Mississippi river and other junction points, ia not being maintained, and the conflict between tbe Eastern and Western roads is likely to be renewed at an early day. It is claimed that several of the Eastern roads make through rates on Missouri river traffle from Mississippi river points, regardless of the agreement This is particularly the case on traffic via junction points west and southwest from Chicago. The Rock Island, it is claimed, is taking business via Seneca at from 5 to 10 cents less than the agreed basis. The matter is now being investigated by Commissioner Blanchard, and if be finds that tbe facts are as stated, there will undoubtedly be another fight between Eastern and Western roads. C, II. & D. Movements. Epecial to the xndianaoolis Journal. Richmond, Ind., June 1L CoL E. A. Peck, chief engineer, and a party of ten men began, this afternoon, a survey of a route to Jonesboro, by whieh tbe C, IL & D. proposes building from this city to connect with the C , W. & M., and on to Chicago. A committee of citizens also had a conference with C, II. & I), officials, last evening, concerning a southern extension from here to intersect the C., H. & L at Connersville, and Vice-president Waite is to be here in a few days to investigate representations made to him. It would be, with tbe link between Richmond and Eaton, already supplied, the continuation of the branch they, will build from Dayton to Eaton, which was originally desigcad to intersect the C, H. & I. at Liberty. Local and State Notes. There were transferred over the Belt road last week 9.735 cars; Belt road engines handled 800 car-loads of live stock. The Terre Haute & Peoria road has contracted with the Litchfield car works to build two hun dred box cars equipped with the Wagner cardoor, and to be of 40,000 pounds capacity. The Vandalia and the Terre Haute & Peoria roads have established a fast-freight line between Indianapolis and Peoria. There is to be no delay at the connecting point of the two roads. President Quigler, of the Toledo, St Louis & Kansas City road, is west looking over, matters. He expects to have the entire line standard gauge between Toledo and St Louis by Oct 1. The C. H. & D. has turned ail of its west bound business billed beyond Indianapolis over to tbe Vandalia. For some months past the I. & St L. has been their western line out of Indi anapolis. The earnings of the Chicago, Pittsburg & St Louis road for May show an increase over "those of tbe corresponding month 1SS6 of $51,660. The Ohio Southern increased its earnings this year $5,809. The special train carrying the Boston Commer cial Clab left Chicago at 11 p. m. Saturday night, made the run to Ft. Wayne over the P.fFt W. & C. 14S miles, in three hours and twenty-five minutes, and tbe run to Pittsburg in ten hours and fifty mioutes. stopping only at railroad crossings and for inspection. ..The time was two hours and fifty minutes quicker than the fastest express train over this road makes. Lvery mue

ot tracK was patrolled, and all trains were or

dered to give it a clear track. Much of the dis tance the train ran fifty miles per hour. O. B. Grant, assistant engineer of mainte nance of way on the J., M. & I., severed hie connection with the road Saturdav, and haa accepted a better position on the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe road, under General Manager Phil lips. The Lake Erie & Western gives notice that with their Midland fast-freight line, they are now competitors for west-bound business, and will make a specialty of fast time. As all tbe lines bow are obliged to maintaM rates, it is only on time that one has an advantage over the other. It is stated that the Pennsvlvania Company is to seenre control of the Lonisville, Cincinnati & Dayton road, thirteen miles of which ia built If the report be true tbe project will go no fur-, ther. The truth of tbe report, however, may safe ly be questioned, as on portions of the proposed line there has been no suspension of grading. One line agent made the charge last week that tbe B. ic V. Kankakee Dispatch, which seems to have the under hold on export business, waa cntting rates; but on investigation they with drew the allegation, General Manager Noon an convincing the nartv makine the charge tbat he did not care to subject himself to a fine of $5,000 to secure business to please a competitor. Tbe new system of baggage-checking which the Bee-line is to introduce, allowing the baggage transfer companies to check baggaee from tbe homes or hotels of travelers throngh to the destination in other cities, affects baggage going between New York, Boston, Albany, Saratoga, Buffalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianap olis, Chicago and bt Louis. Another effort is making to establish a division of tbe National Railroad Brakemen's Associ ation at Indianapolis. The boys at this point are a good deal behind in this matter. There is ample material from which to form a large and prosperous association, and to do a good deal of charitable work. At nearly all other important railroad centers outside of Indiana there are flourishing organizations of brakemen. Tbe election of J. D. Layng as president of the Bee-line is looked upon in tbe higher railroad circles as very fortunate for tbe stockholders. The New York Central people are heartily in ac cord with all movements be makes, and act largely on his suggestions. A few months will work surprising changes in the financial and, physical condition of the property it iUr. Layng carries onthis programme, which he is likely to do. Matters still drag at the new steel rail mill, and the probabilities are tbat the new machinery tor Dandling the rails is a failure, and tbe com pany will be obliged to return to the old method of using buggies, and employing book ers, fehould this prove to be tbe case it win be a disappointment, as tbe handling of the blooms by machinery would work a great saving in ex penses, and give this mill a handsome advantage over most of its competitors. General and Miscellaneous. The Southern Pacific is removing its shops from El Paso and San Antonio to Houston, Tex. The Missouri Pacific has shortened np the run ning time of its freight as well as that of its pas senger trains. The through freights are run at an average speed of eighteen miles per hour. Two thousand people on Saturday last wit nessed the driving of a silver spike in celebration of the completion of the D., M. & A. road to vv inbeld, Kan. WiuHeld is tbus placed on tne Missouri facihc system. The Western Traffic Association has decided that where the Union Pacific can nreserve the identity of the stock, tbe Iowa roads will rebill through from Omana to Chicago, St Louis or Indianapolis at the through rate. Last week a company to be known as the Cortez & Dolores Valley road was organized in Colorado to build a road from Rico into the Montezuma valley, and eventually to a connec tion with the A. T. & S. F. Bystem. The Southern Pacific engineers have just com pleted a survey of the pronosed extension from Oceanside to San Diego. Tbe survey was com menced in the latter part of January, and haa been continued throngh Lscondido and Poway. Tbe Council Crow Indians. Montana, decided at a convention held last week, to grant tbe right of way to the Kocky Forks & Cook City railway ' through tbe reservation to the coal mines of Rocky Forks and tbe silver mines at Cook City. On the completion of the Northern Pacific to Tacoma the Oregon Improvement Company has made a contract for carrying their business from Tacoma to San Francisco. As the switch-back over the mountains is now completed the move ment of Northern Pacific freights over the new route will begin at once. C W. Smith, vice-president of the A. T. & S. F. , will, on the 1st of next month, remove his headquarters from Topeka, Kan., to Chicago. D. A. Sweet, assistant traffic manager, will also make his headquarters in that city; his title is to be the assistant to tbe vice-president, or, in other words, he ia to be Mr. Smith's confidential secretary. Locating a New York Church. Kew York Eveninct Post. In consulting real estate agents, and even most successful business men, about a site, it ia almost impossible to rid their minds of the idea that in building a church the probability of having to sell it lefore locg mnst be kept in view, borne of them seem almost persuaded that the Almighty does not care much for worship on a lot which will not bring what it originally cost in the market, and that both prayer and praise are more effective if the real estate of the congregation is going np. Shot Dead by His Father-ln-Law. Dk Leon, Tex., June 12. J. T. Allison shot and killed his son-in-law, Henry Scott, this morning, about 10 o'clock. It seems that Scott married Allison's daughter about five months ago. She went back to her father, and Scott went over and compelled his wife to go with him. Be then took his wife and came to town to take the train to De Leon. Allison followed him and shot him with a shot-gun through the neck and shoulders. Scott shot Allison through he shoulder. Allison is in a critical condition. Francis Murphy's Opinion. Pittsbnrg Chronicle. Francis Murphy is home from a visit to Iowa of sufficient duration to enable him to judge of the practical results of prohibitory legislation in that State, aud he pronounces the law a failure in so far as the accomplishment of any good is concerned. Mr. Murphy has had many tilts with onr intemperate advocates of temperance, the Prohibitionists, and can now expect them to once more pour out the vials of their wrath upon hia head.
