M., Oct. 13 Manager Pils, of the Maxwell Land grant Company. has received the following self-explanatory letter from President Cleveland: Washington, D. C Sept 27. To M. P. Piln. Esq.. Denver. ol.: Dear Sir In the matter of tlie Maxwell land grant, referred to in n tir communication, as in every otljer, tbe law of the land muft be supreme. The jadint-nt Bf the Supreme Court of the United State on the rubjeets involved therein is authoritative and conelusive. Its julg-nent must be repected and obeyed. Those who counsel resistance to the law. or by false or inflammatory statements, such as are tr ade in the hand-bill submitted to me, attempting to impose upon the iirnorant by advising an appeal from the judgment 6f the highest court in the land to lawless f.irce, are the worst enemies of those whom they so misleal. any unlawful, overt act, commi'ted in pursuance of uch counsel, will, of course, be visited with th penalty appropriate to the crime. If aoy wrongs are ione, their retires- e m be obtained through the peaceful methods of the law, which is fully adequate to protect every right of the citizen, its faithful enforcement is due a; ike to the poor and the weak, the wealthy and the strong. I sincerely trust the ncendiry counsel in the hand-bill will not nrodi.ee the baleful ffect for which it was intended, and that those in whose fvor the eonrt haa determined these vexed qestions of title w 11 not attempt to extend their rights to cases not determined, and that, insisting npon their rights, they will deal kindly and generously with those who have mistakenly acted upon an invalid title. I am yours, Gbovkb Cleveland. The Fever at Tampa. Phiz.adxl.phia, Oct. 13. la a special article written for the Medical News, of this week, on the fever epidemic at Tampa, Fla., Dr. John B. Hamilton, Surgeon-general of the United States Marine Hospital Service, says: "The fatal progress of the disease tells its own tory, and prevents adhesion to the theory that the disease is dengue, and not yellow fever. For the arrest of the progress of the disease, and the

prevention of its spread, the experience of the last decade has conclusively established the utility of the measures of isolation and ecgrega tioo, in conjunction witn tbose public measures always needful in times of epidemic, namelv, municipal cleanliness, careful quarantine, and gpecial hospitals."

Indiana, Presbyterian Synod. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wabash, Oct. 13. The Presbyterian Synod of Indiana convened at the Presbyterian Cbnrcb in this city to-night J. he opening sermon was delivered by Rev. J. AL Hutchinson, of Jefferson ville, from the text, John xi, 39, 43. Rev. Hutchinson was assisted in the devotional exercises by Rev. J. W. Pogb, of Franklin, and Rev. L. G. Hay, of Coates College. Terre Haute. The call of presbyteries revealed ninety-nine ministers and elders present, from the eight presbyteries of the State. At the conclusion of the call the moderator an nounced that nominations for moderator were in order, and the names of Rev. Edward Bow, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Lafayette, and Rev. T. Calvin Stuart, of Brazil, were placed in nomination. Rev. Bow received 69 and Rev. Stuart 41 votes, and. on motion of the latter. Mr. Bow's election was declared unanimous. Rev.

The matrimonial life of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Johnson, of Salem, Ind., was cut short last Monday. Some time during the preceding weak William E. Johnson and Miss Lydia Meyer, of that township, went to Jeffersonville and were married. They returned to Salem in due time and settled down at once to a quiet housekeeping. All went well until a few days after the marriage, when Mrs. Emma Johnson, assistant superintendent of the Female Reformatory at Indianapolis, appeared upon the scene, had the young bride arrested, and escorted her to that place. It seems tbat Miss Meyer had for some time been an inmate of the reformatory, and had been released on a three months' parole only two weeks. According to the Indiana State laws, a person under sentence of a court can not legallv contract a marriage nntil tbe expiration of the sentence. Miss Meyer, having transgressed that law, and violated one of the rules of her con ditional liberty, was thus dragged from the pleasures of her honeymoon, and will spend it in the prison. A Badly-Wantetftontldence Bfan. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Seymour, Oct 13. Ever since the arrest of the three men at Terre Haute for the robbery of Zac" Deputy, who was confidsnced out of $3,000 on a road near here, there has been a doubt in the rain da of many as to their being the men who did the work. It will be remembered the men were tried at tbe last tsrm of the Jackson Circuit Court and sentenced to three years each. Although the men were positively identified by several witnesses, tbere was a mysterious "big man" which neither of the men arrested fully resembled. The men convicted appealed their case to the Supreme Court and further developments have all along been promised. To-day a dispatch from Detroit, Mich., announces the arrest of Big Ed Rice, one of the most noted confidence men in the country, for doing tbe Deputy job. It is understood there are parties here who saw Deputy s companion the day of the robbery, who did not testiry in the case, who will be able to identify the badly-wanted large man.

THE RECENT 0LLISI0X. First Reports of the Disaster Partially Confirmed Where the Responsibility Rests. Chicago, Oct 13. Special dispatches to the Chicago papers this morning to the extent of the Chicago & Atlantic horror confirm the Associated Press report direct from Kouts the day of the disaster. Tbe Inter Ocean has a particularly significant interview with Dr. G. H. McLure, of Boone Grove, who, with Dr. McKee, of Kouts, wna active in aiding the sufferers at tbe wreck. "Those remains which were recovered are of persons who were sitting on the seats near the windows, and fell outwards when the charred frame work fell to pieces, but those who were sitting inside, and whose remains fell on the rails, were burned to powder, and not a vestige of them, except, perhaps, a few pieces of bone, could be found. Tbe beat between those raiis was sufficient to have calcined and destroyed all the remains. In such a heat, when the charred mass cooled, it would go to powder by embers falling on it, and nothing would ever be known of them. I was told by one' of the wreckers that he saw little heaps of bones, and this was corroborated by the statements of other and doubtless that was all that remained of , tboa who fell between tT"t tracks, for when beat !nvnufficient to make tiJ ( ra;is unaerneatn rea E&t, and to warp ana fiend them in every conceivable shape, it is almost as intense as in a crematory." Dr. McLure states the number burned to death is at least sixteen or eighteen. Of tbe wounded he speaks definitely, and his total is even higher than the press estimate. Dr. McLure says: "At Miller's hotel, in Kouts, after the accident, there were seven ladies and ten men, making seventeen in all." He got the name and address of the lady mentioned io the press reports having done the most heroic work at the wreck in helping others to escape. It is Mrs. John Wensinger. J. A. Frederick, who lives at Kouts and failed to get aboard the train at Hammond, said he knew there were over fifty passengers aboard the train when it left Hammond. The work of repairing the track at the scene of the wreck is being rapidly pushed, and the ties which were burned into thin strips of charcoal have been removed, and sound ones put in their stead. "It is marvellous to me," said Dr. McClure, "that there haven't been more accidents on this road, so carelessly have things been managed. WThy, until this Chatawortb disaster scared the Atlantic folks so that they put in sound ties along the road, yon might almost pull the spikes out of the rotten tie3 along the track." For about a mile east of the water tank the ties are rotten now, but the company is replacinfl them with new ones. Whatever the coro ner may say, the responsibility for tbe horror is fixed upon the conductor of the passenger train for depending on a semaphore light and not sending back a brakeman with a lantern and torpedoes, and the engineer of the freight train, who failed, through carelessness, to see the semaphore light As for its being too foggy to see. that is all talk. It was not foggy Monday night at midnight Collision on the Missouri Pacific. Kansas Citt, Oct. 13. An accommodation train on the Missouri Pacific railroad, consisting of fonr passenger coaches, left Independence, Mo., this morning, crowded with passengers, for Kansas City. Near Rock Creek station, a few miles this side of Independence, the accommo dation was telescoped in the rear by tbe Wichita express, consisting of eighteen coaches, all heavily loaded. A lady standing on the platform or tbe station was struck in the abdomen and killed by the debris. Circuit Court Clerk H. H. Noland was badly injured. Mat Chapman, baggagemaster of the accommodation, suffered a broken leg and other injuries, and Edward Milton, an employe of Solomon H. Reed, of Independence, was seriously bnrt A large number of passengers on both trains in jured themselves in trying to break throngh the windows. Tbe accident was caused by tbe failure of the train dispatcher to notify the conductor of the express that the accommodation had preceded bim. Most of the passengers of both trains were coming to see President Cleve land. OBITUARY. Mrs. Dinah Maria Craik, the Famous Author of "John Halifax." London, Oct. 13.

THE PULLMAN COMPANY.

The Capital Stock Increased Nearly $5,000,000 The Business of the Past Tear. Chicago, Oct. 11 The capital of the Pullman Palace Car Company, already at the enormous total of $15,920,000, was to-day increased 25 per cent, making tbe aggregate amount in round numbers nearly $20,000,000. This action was taken at the annual meeting of the company, which was held here to-day. Between $11,000,000 and $12,000,000 of the capital stock was represented. Examination of the financial statement showed the surplus for the year to be $1,536,834 The inereasa of stock was recommended by Presi ident Geo. M. Pallman, who stated it to be for the purpose of "providing the capital required to meet the cost of additional eqnipment, and for further extensions in the near future." The board of directors were empowered to issue the increased stock as, in their discretion, it might be required. It was decided that tbe new stock be offered to the stockholders at par. in proportion to their holdings, and upon terms to be fixed by the board of directors. All shares not subscribed for bv the stockholders and all subscriptions not paid for in accordance with the terms as subscribed will be forfeited to the company. At a mooting of the board of directors, the former officers were re-elected and the usual quarterly dividend of 2 percent was declared. Incidentally, in President Pullman's address to the stockholders, it was stated that the cum ber of persons employed by the company in its operating and manufacturing departments is 9.066. and the wages paid during tbe year was $5,044,633. Other figures submitted are also of public interest Th earnings from the operation of cars were $5 621.017, and from manufacturing, rentals, patents, dividends, interest. etc, $820,114. During the year contracts for the operation of the cars of the company have been concluded with seven different railroads, among them the Wisconsin Central. Renewals of contracts have been made with six other rail wa s, including tbe Missouri Pacific, the Chi cago Ss Grand Trunk, and the Grand Trunk of Canada. The number of passengers carried during the year was 3,035,242. THE KNIGHTS OP LABOR. Tbe Assembly Decides to Continue the Boycott Against the New York Snn. Minneapolis. Oct 13. The General Assembly of the Knights of Labor this morning received a communication from District Assembly 208. of England, asking that a man be selected from among the English Knights to be vested with the necessary authority to act in case of dispute between employer and employes. It was asked that this official assume the functions of the general officers when the circumstances make it impossible to place before them the true facts in the case. The communication was referred to the proper committee. A communication from the Canadian Knights, requesting the appointment of a legislative committee of three in Canada, was referred to tbe committee on legislation. A communication was read from the Philadelphia 'longshoremen complaining of the violation of the foreign contract labor law, and requesting that the order sustain the Philadeiphia assembly in their action in the matter. The eight-hour question in the cigar trade was brought up. The sentiment of the convention was that as eight hours is the rule of the International Cigar-makers Union, it would not be right for members of the Knights of Labor employed in this trade to work longer hours and give a backset to the good work in this direction already accomplished. It was decided not to issue the label to tbose who work longer hours. After the afternoon session the press committee reported that there was nothing to divulge to the public. The delegates are very quiet about tbe afternoon proceedings, and nothing authoritative has been stated. It is stated that the convention yesterday afternoon voted to continue the boycott on tbe New York Sun. The matter came un in the shape of a resolntion from D. A. 64, of New York city, the membership of which is composed of printers and other employes of newspaper offices, asking that tho boycott instituted some time ago at a conference of thirteen or fourteen district assemblies against tbe Sun be declared null and void. After aflively debate the resolution was tabled. Tbe delegates to the Assembly were well supplied his evening with photographs of different buildings of the Champion Machine Company, of SDringfild, O., each view showing the notices which have been placed over all the doors of the company's shops. Tbe notice is as follows: Independent Shop. No person who is a member of the Knights of Labor or any trades union will under any circumstances whatever be employed in this establishment. The latch-strinji is out to independent workmen only. On the back of the photograph-cards are printed explanations, with a copy of the "iron clad" certificate of independence of labor organ izations, wbicb all employes ol the company were required, in leab, to sign or quit work. quit These photographs are to be sent to all the assemblies, and it is inferred tbat the boycott will be applied to the Champion people. Indiana Striking Minors. v Vincennes, Oct 13. Twenty-five hundred to three thousand miners are out on strike in southern Indiana One thousand miners or more are out in the Daviess county coal mines, and they propose to stay out, and will not listen to any compromise. Tbe companies are equally stubborn, and the fight promises to be a long, warm, and bitter one. The Miners' Federation sends out a manifesto to-day to the effect that they are out for an advance in wages; that the companies have pursued a systematic persecu tion. "Wages have been forced below living rates; we are now going to force them up. Owing to former low prices paid for work, the men are in a poor condition to stand the tight If they are successful, a long step will have been taken in the direction of an advance of 5 cents per ton for all miners in the federation districts on Nov. I. They have good coal, good shipping facilities. and the cost of production here is small com pared with otber mining districts. Mining is from 45 to 60 cents per ton; a day's labot from 90 cents to $1 per day, and the men paid, in most part, out of tbe company s store. Wo ap peal to all miners all over Indiana to come to tbe rescue and help on the fight." The manifesto is signed by President Fisher, of tbe Federation. The fight has gone out all along tbe line, and the order is to stay out and refuse to work. The t.ehigh Strike Drawing- to an End. Hazeltox, Pa., Oct 13. There is a growing feeling here that tbe strike of the miners and mine laborers in the Lehigh region is nearing an end, and that the end will be a victory for the operators. This belief i founded on the fact that the men on strike have not received from the-Knights of Labor organization the assistance that was promised them. When the order was given for them to lay down their tools and quit work the representatives of tbe organization told them they would receive $1 a day while tbe strike continued. The men accepted the promise unhesitatingly and in good faith. Fifteen thousand men joined the strike, and if each one had been given the $1 a day promised, the amount thus distributed by the Knights of Labor would. ur to tbe present time, foot up the total of $360,000. Instead of this, however, not $10,000 has been sent here and distributed, and many of the men and their families are beginning to suffer for the necessaries of life. Tbe consequence is that much dissatisfaction exists amopg them, and it is believed that to-day most of them would retnrn to work at the old wages if the operators would ask them to do go.

The letters are supposed to be written by a mother in heaven to her son on earth. She describes her self as the wife of a German pastor, who is with her in heaven. Heaven is conceived after the example of Luther, as a sanctified and transfigured earthly existence; and the special point ot the volume is to illustrate, in an almost un ending series of examples, the happy ways in which the heavenly life comes to the aid of the life on earth, solving its mysteries and contra dictions, completing its work, rounding out its unfinished experience, rewarding its faithful ness, and filling in tbe lost or wanting chord which is required to raise life into a harmony. This book is earnest and elevated in tone. thoroughly sound in doctrine and written in a pleasing and attractive style. It is appropriately bound, with decorated cloth covers; price $1, sent by mail.

I had frequently noticed that when engaged in deep thought, particularly at night, there seemed to be something like a compression of the eyelids, the npper one especially, and the eyes themselves wereapparently turned upward, as if lot king in that direction. This invariably occurred: the, moment, by an effort, X arrested the course of thought and freed the mind from the subject with which it was engaged, the eyes resumed their natural position and the compression of the lids ceased. - Now. it occurred to me one night that I would not allow the eyes to turn upwsr.l, but kept them determinedly in the opposite position, as. if looking down: and. having done so for a short time. I found that the mind did not revert to the thoughts with which it had been occupied, and I soon fell asleep. I tried the plan ag&ri with tbe same result, and, after an experience of two years, I can trnly say that, unless when something really annoying or worrying occurred, 1 have always been able to go to sleep very shortly after retiring to rest. There may occasionally be some difficulty m keepings the eyes in the position I have described, but a determined effort to do so is all tbat is required, and I am certain that, if kept in tne- down-looking position, it will be found that composure and sleep will be tho result.

And then she gave this account of hereeli: "I'd been workin' five vears for one family in Queenstown for me board, an' I couldn't save enough to buy dacent clothes, so I got me brither Tim, who drives a donkev, to put- tr.e out to the etaimer in a boat wid tuppence in me pocket. I told 'em I hadn't no ticket, an 1 waved me band to J.im an to tbe don. key on the dock, an' here i be."

The harness about the waist is aimplv barbarous. while that from the shoulders is little better in effect and ugly to look upon. The Straps fastened to waist or chemilette. when taut enough to keep the stockings smooth, must necessarily pull upon the garment with, each step, bearing down heavily upon the lower part of the body, causing annoyance aud inconvenience as well as irritation. Our advice to women is , to have a good substantial silver garter of the spiral pattern made, since silver will wear for years, and can alwavs be kept bright and shining; and as the garter gives readily with each m vment of the leg, is cool and light, and brings no steady pressure upon any sensitive part. it is a great improvement over anything else we are familiar with, and our knowledge of supports is thorough and comprehensive.

The little girl is now nearly two years old, and it will be remembered that Mr. Fish claimed, alter Miss Keber s trario death. that he had been secretly married to the fair young cantatrice juet before the collapse of the bank. Fashions for Children. Boston Transcript. The newest of frocks for children look like relies of a pal.-eozoic age in one or two details. They have round waists and skirts, pleated in front and gathered behind with a cord of a contrasting color, finishing the waist. The skirt is pinked at the foot, and haa two pinked bands set beneath it. and the half low neck opens in a point, revealing between its pjnked edges a yoke matching the color of the cord. Un lerneath all this i worn a silk or cambric waist, and the child thus arraved has the appearance of wearing as many frocks as Haidee wore jillicks. The colors used are white and (rreen for blondes, brown and blue for brunettes, aud the material is ladies' cloth. 0 A Warning to Clerks. Lincoln J ournal.
