Lloyd Tevis Tells How Wells, Fargo & Co. Got Exclusive Express Business. Lloyd Tevis, President of the WellsFargo Express Company, testified before the Pacific Commission, at San Francisco, that by the terms of the consolidation of the express companies the Central Pacific Company received no consideration, but one-third of the Wells Fargo stock was transferred to Stanford, H. 1). Bacon. Charles Crocker, Hopkins, Huntington and himself. Tevis also stated that since the consolidation the Wells Fargo company had the exclusive express business over the Central Pacific. Tevis admitted that he was asked to take stock in the Central Pacific and in the Contract and Finance Company, but declint d. “Why did you not accept ?” was asked. “I looked at it from a business point of view.” said ho, “because I thought it would lead to embarrassments, and further, I was apprehensive that if the road did not go through I would be liable to my pro rata for debts.” MOB LAW. A Tramp Summarily Dealt With by Exasperated lowans. James Reynolds, a tramp who assaulted a woman near Leon, lowa, was pursued by a party of armed men for two days. He was captured near Decatur City and lynched, niter confessing the crime. Miss Conger was met by a tramp, who made insulting proposals, at the same time drawing a revolver. The frightened girl started to run, but, was knocked insensible by the tramp, and assaulted. A mob of 300 men started from Decatur and I nion Counties in pursuit. The villain was corralled in the bush near Afton. This is the third case of the kind in Decatur County within a short time, and the people of that county were exasperated to the highest pitch. JOHN CLAY. Death of the Only Remaining Son of the Gre;« Statesman. A dispatch from Lexington, Ky., says: “John Clay, the only remaining sou of Henry Clay, died at his farm, near this city. He left the city in his usual health, going home, and after dining went out to superintend repairs on a pump. While giving instructions to the workmen he fell dead without any premonitions, of heart disease. Mr. Clay was 67 years old. He had no children John Clay possessed but a few of the characteristics of his illustrious father, being a plain farmer, devoting much time to raising thorough-bred horses. He became a Catholic twenti’ years ago.” BASE-BALL. The Contest for the Championship in the League anil Association.

An oath-bound labor org mization, known as “The Brotherhood,” is said to have gained a large membership in New England. It was founded in May, 1886, and its objects appear to be substantially the same as those of the Knights of Labor, except that its policy is opposed to strikes. The names of its officers, the location of its headquarters, and the extent of its ramiiications are carefully guarded secrets. Virginia Republicans. Seventy-eight Virginia Republicans, of whom only two were colored, had a conference at Senator Mahone’s house in Petersburg to arrange a programme for the fall campaign. It was decided to hold no State Convention. A committee was appointed to prepare an address to the Republican voters of the State. Senator Mahone made a speech in which he urged further attempts to effect a compromise with the foreign creditors of Virginia. Bond Bids Rejected. The sum of $5,462,000 in 44 bonds was offered for redemption on Wednesday at the National Treasury. The Secretary accepted the offer of the Suffolk Bank, of Boston, for $260,000 registered bonds at 1.10 Hat. All the other proposals were rejected, as the rates were not considered favorable. Mistook His Mother-in-Law for a Skunk and Killed Her. Brownsville (Neb.) telegram: “Hiram Schoonover shot Mrs. Sloss, his mother-in-law, dead the other night while she was taking corn from him without leave, and has been held in the sum of SI,OOO for trial on the charge of manslaughter. He says he mistook Mrs. Sloss for a polecat.” EAST. A cbazy Irishman calling himself Conrad J. Mooney, attempted to blow up the British ocean steamship Queen at New York, but the fire which the explosion created was speedily extinguished. Mooney was apprehended and locked up. New York dispatch: “Drs. Fitch and Fields, examiners in lunacy for the Department of Charities and Correction, today reported that they had examined Thos. J Mooney, the alleged dynamiter, who set fire to the National line steamer Queen, and found him to be insane.” WEST. The memorable Chicago boodle trial was brought to a close on Friday, the sth inst., and resulted in a verdict of conviction. A punishment of two years in the penitentiary was imposed upon each one of the defendants except Commissioners Casselman, Geils, Oliver, and McCarthy, who escape with a fine of SI,OOO each. A Chisago dispatch tells how the verdict was received: An anxious crowd of attorneys and newspaper men kept Judge Jamieson's room crowded till late last evening after the jury i'n the great boodle case had retired at 3 o'clock to consider its verdict. The room was almost packed with bailiffs and police officers in citizen’s clothes ready to secure the defendants in case any reBislauve was attempted. It wus expected, at

first, that the jury would not bo long in arriving at a conclusion, but as the hours drew on and 8 o’clock was reached and still no verdict, people began to think that there would be a long siege and the jurors would have some difficulty in making up their minds. The officers were just beginning to prepare for an all-night session when Chief Bailiff Cahill ran into Judge Jamieson's private room and shouted : "Youll nil have to get out of here. Make room for the jury.” In a moment every seat in the courtroom was occupied. Judge Jamieson ascended the bench, the defendants came in slowly and occupied their seats one after the other, and finally the jury was led to its seats, Foreman A. L. Brown preceding his colleagues with a scroll of paper in his hand. Judge Jamieson turned to the jury: "Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict?’’ “Wo have, your Honor," replied Mr. A. L. Brown, Chief Bailiff Cahill took the verdict from Mr. Brown’ hands and handed it to the Clerk. “Read the verdict, Mr. Clerk, ” ordered the Judge. And amid breathless silence Clerk Lee read in a voice that it required all his will power to make audible : We, the jury, find the defendants Adam Ochs, Michael R. Leyden, James J. McCarthy. Daniel J. Wren, John E. Van Felt. Michael Wasserman. Harry A.Varnell, Richard M. Oliver, Christian Casselman. Christian Geils, Richard S. McClaughry, guilty of conspiracy as charged iu the indictment, and tlx the penalty: Richard S. McClaughry, at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary Adam Ochs, at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Michael li. Leyden, at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Harry A. Yarnell, at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. John E. Van Felt at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Daniel J. Wren at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Michael Wasserman at two years’ imprisonment in the penitentiary. Janies J. McCarthy at a fine of 81,000. Richard M. Oliver at a fine of 81,000. Ch.-istian Casselman at a fine of 81,000. Christian Geils at a fine of SI,OO-0. A small excursion steamer having a party of locomotive engineers on board capsized in Lake Manawa, near Council Bluffs. lowa. Five bodies have been recovered, but it is believed that two or three others also perished. A Milwaukee dispatch gives particulars of a distressing accident at the launching of the huge steamer Wm. H. Wolf, at Wolf & Davidson’s ship-yard, in that city, by which three persons were killed outright, several fatally injured, about twenty badly hurt, and a largo number of others less seriously injured. About one thousand people hail gathered to witness the launch. The docks were lined, vessels were crowded, and every scow and lumber-pile was black with spectators. Directly opposite the cradled vessel was the large coaldock of the Northwestern Fuel Company. It is a roofed clock, with huge derricks for unloading coal. Upon the roof of this coal-shed a largo number of people had assembled. The view from that point was a fine one, as the vessel moved directly toward the dock. As the Wolf struck the water her port bulge was buried deeply in the black water of the slip ; then she recovered and rolled heavily to port. The water displaced by her hull rose like a tidal wave and swept over the coal-dock and up toward its roof, causing a cloud of coal-dust and spray. The supports of the dock were insufficient to withstand the force of the wave, and about forty feet ot the shed went down with its living freight. Instantly the shed went down there was wild excitement on the deck of the steamer. A scene of indescribable confusion ensued, but a few cool-headed neoplo at once set to work to rescue the people thrown into the river and those buried iu the debris of the plattoim. Patrol-wagons were summoned, and express wagons turned into ambulances, and the dead and injured were carried away. The Northern Pacific crop report indicates a yield of wheat throughout the territory embraced of from one-half to twothirds of a ciop. The weather in Illinois during the week was warmer than that of any corresponding week during the past ten years. Only six counties report an average rainfall—Ogle, Livingston, Shelby, Montgomery, Fayette, and Wabash. Light rains were reported in twenty-one counties. In a large section of the State the drought continues with unabated severity, and the corn prospects are even less favorable than the previous week. A Milwaukee dispatch says the stockholders of five Gogebic iron mines, known as the Burton properties, transferred them to the Bessemer Consolidated Iron Company of New York, of which ex-Senator Stephen W. Dorsey was elected President, Jesse R. Grant Secretary, and ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Charles E. Coon | Treasurer. All of them were present. The , price paid for the five mines was $2,320,- i 000. The consolidated company has a cap- j ital stock of $7,500,000, and has made a : five-year contract with the Great Lakes Steam-shipping Company, which will build | fifteen steam-vessels to carrv ore from i Ashland to Cleveland at $1.50 per ton, । the present rate being $2.50. The coin- i pany contracts to ship 800,000 tons per j annum. An Evansville special reports a terrible accident near Duff's Station, Dubois County, Ind., on the Louisville, Evansville it St. Louis Air Line Railway. As a construction-train with a crew of twentyfive men was approaching Duff ’s Station a cow attempted to cross the track before the train, when the engine struck it with such force that the entire train was thrown from the track. Nine of the construction crew sustained serious injuries. Five of them cannot recover. The wheat crop in Minnesota and Dakota proves to be the largest on record, and superior in quality to any gathered since 1883. South Carolina crop reports are favorable. The largest yield of cotton on record is expected, and tlu' same is true of corn. There will be a full crop of rice and sorghum sugar cane, and potatoes promise well. Corn prospects in Dakota and Minnesota are excellent. Forest fires are again raging in Northern Michigan and Wisconsin, says a Chicago special. A vast amount of timber and other property has been consumed, and many towns and villages are iu danger of destruction. Thousands of men are fighting the Hames. Unless rain soon falls, the losses will reach an appalling aggregate. SOUTH. Parson Harris, a colored man, living near Helena, Ark., was killed by his wife with a shotgun, which she emptied into him while he was beating her. A Macon (Ga.) dispatch says that “Capt. and Mrs. R. F. Woolfolk, their six children, ranging in ages from 16 months to 20 years, and Mrs. West, aged 60, an aunt of Mrs. Woolfolk, were murdered in their home on Friday night. Thomas G. Woolfolk, son of the captain’s first wife, who was sleeping in the house at the time, has been held by the Coroner’s jury for the crime. He says that some time before daybreak Saturday morning he was aroused by groans and the sound of blows proceeding from his parents’ room. His half brother Richard ran into the room which adjoined his, and, thinking that murder was being committed, he (Thomas) jumped from a window in his night clothes and bare feet and ran to the house of a negro, three or four hundred yards distant, to get them to arouse the neighborhood. He says he was afraid to return, fearing that he himself would be murdered; but went tack after half an hour. No help had srrived, and he went in to see if the family had been murdered. He found tjiem all dead. He stepped in a pool of blood in passing and left footprints on the floor. He found his stepmother lying so that her head was on the, floor and her body on the bed. He raised her up and placed her on the lied. He then changed his clothes. By this time a. crowd had arrived and soon after he was taken into custody. The funeral of the nine victims took place at Rose Hill Cemetery, Macon, on Sunday. Three thousand people attended. The services were brought to an abrupt termination by the arrival of Mrs. Edwards, own sister of the murderer, who was in Athens at the time of the commission of the crime. Heartrending scones followed, bringing tears to the eyes of every spectator. Woolfolk was carried to Atlanta for safe keeping. He denies bis guilt.” WASHINGTON. The President has been invited to visit almost every city in the West and South, including San Francisco, New Orleans, and Galveston, Says a Washington telegram. He has about made up bis mind that he will not go farther west than Kansas City and very little, if any, farther

south than Atlanta. He does not desire to bo absent from the capital more than twenty days, but delays and unavoidable circumstances may prolong his absence five or ten days more. He will begin the preparation of his annual message to Congress upon his return to Washington, and other important matters which will then claim his personal attention will prevent his extending his visit much beyond November 1. The applications received at the Treasury Department up to Tuesday for prepayment of interest on registered bonds were as follows: Four per cents, $2,468,250; 44 per cents, $2,715,000, and Pacific Railroad bonds, $88,000; total, $5,269,250. POLITICS. An Associated Press dispatch from Galveston, Texas, says: “Returns (not official) received from 507 voting precincts in the State show a majority of 93,645 against the prohibition amendment, and indicate that the amendment has been defeated in the whole State by over 125,000 votes.” A New York special says: “The So cialists are concentrating their efforts on an attack upon Henry George and his pet land theory, and they expect, by holding him and his theories up to ridicule, to crush him and gain control of the Labor party. They make no secret of the fact that they had planned to take him up last fall because his theory was among the eleaientary doctrines of Socialism. Tl»ey now intend to handle him without gloves, and will show the workmen that he is not the prophet and Messiah that he would have them believe.” The President has appointed the fol-lowing-named Postmasters: Ambrose W. Mullen, at De Smet, Dakota, vice J. H. Carroll, resigned; G. W. Farrelly, at Chanute, Kan., vice J. B. Beatty, resigned; Lee H. Way, at Luverne, Minn., vice Charles O. Hawes, resigned; John Goetz, at Greencastle, Pa., vice H. P. Prather, resigned. William T. Figg has been appointed postmaster at Hawthorne, lowa. George M. Swaim of lowa, Arthur A. Holmes of Indiana, Lucian M. Turner of Illinois, John S. McKiman of Pennsylvania, and John P. Stout of Ohio have been appointed special examiners in the Pension Office under civil-service rules. A statement prepared at the Interior Department shows that from Jan. Hi, 1886, to July 1, 1887, there were 267 civil-service appointments made in that department, exclusive of 27 transfers and 1 reinstatement. Os this number 24 were from Pennsylvania, 22 from New York, 21 from Illinois, 19 from Indiana, 11 from Ohio, 11 from Tennessee; Maryland and the District of Columbia, 10 each; Massachusetts, Kentucky, lowa, Arkansas, Missouri, Virginia, and Wisconsin, 7 each; Mississippi, Michigan, Alabama, and Texas, 6 each. GENERAL. Mooney, the man who attempted to blow up the English steamer Queen at New York, the other day, is well known to the London police, who say that he caused the explosion of the Glasgow gas-works in | 1882. and attempted to blow up the Par- ! liament buildings at Ottawa, Canada. He i was once an accomplice of the Fenian Me- j Dermott. Liebes Bros. A Co., of San Francisco, complain to the Interstate Commerce > Commission that the Texas and Pacific and the Southern Pacific railroad com- ; panies charge $2.25 per hundred upon : j freight to Houston or Galveston, Texas, | while to other points in Texas much nearer । San Francisco they charge sl. Complainunts are consequently compelled to ship to Houston or Galveston, there to be restiipped back to destination. They ask investigation and relief. It is stated that at a conference held on j board the United Stab s flagship Richmond, I at Halifax, N. S., Mr. Foster, the Cann- । dian Minister of Fisheries, declared it to | be the intention of the Canadian Govern- । ment to capture the American schooners ; Argonaut and French wherever found. To i this Rear Admiral Luce and Consul Geni eral Phelan dissented, emphatically stating the United States would never permit those vessels to be taken outside of Canadian territorial waters. Fire losses in the United States and Canada during July aggregated $14,020,500, double the average loss for July in the past twelve years. The total loss for the past seven months is $76,928,100, against $63,900,000 for the first seven months of 18S6. FOREIGN. At Paris M. Agnier fought a duel with M. Reinach and the latter was wounded. They are rival editors, and dropped the pen for the sword. The Ferry-Boulanger duel, so much talked of, appears to have dropped out. 'The German and Austrian Emperors slobbered over each other very profusely at Gastein. Judging from the amount of emotion displayed, the touchiness, so to speak, of the parting scene, and the demonstrative protestations of mutual affection between the two sovereigns, a European war. with Austria and Germany on opposite sides, would seem to be imminent. Archbishop Walsh, in an interview, takes a hopeful view of the Irish situation. He regards the new land act as a measure of great value to the tenantry, and does not apprehend a rigid enforcement of the I coercion act. Within a year or two he expects to see an Irish Parliament at Dublin. MAR K ETR EPORTS. NEW YORK.

THE ODOR OF FRESH BLOOD. Its Marvelous Curative Dowers in Pulmonary Troubles. Although consumption is as common and fatal a complaint in South America as in any other portion of the globe, there is a class of persons resident in I that country among whom the dread scourge is said never to have appeared. These are the inhabitants of the saladeros—a place where cattle are slaughtered and dressed, and where sometimes the manufacture of beef extract is car- j ried on. A gentleman recently re-; turned from Argentine Republic, in i talking of the subject with a reporter, said: “In former years cattle in my , country, that is South America, were ! slaughtered simply for their hides, j bones and tallow, which were articles of export. The meat, except such as [ the butchers in the different cities chose to carry away, was stacked out on the plains and was eaten up by quick- । lime. The places where the work of । killing the cattle was and is carried on were and are still known as saladeros. They are large inclosed spaces in the open country, generally some distance remote from other habitations. The people employed in the business live I within the inclosure and form a little ' colony by themselves. “From 5,000 to 10,000 head of cattle are slaughtered in these saladeros every i day. Necessarily there is a constant ' odor of fresh blood, which to those un- i accustomed to it is decidedly unpleas- I ant. Consumption, however, has never been known among people who live in ! these saladeros, and, strange as it may appear, persons who were so affected, and through some circumstance or another, went into one of these places to live, have speedily recovered. At first । the medical men of the country reasoned that their diagnoses were in | error, but as the result was the same ' time after time, they came to look upon J the matter in a different light, and now i declare that a residence in a saladero will heal an ulcerated lung and entirely destroy the germs of consumption. The process is slow’, however, and a consumptive must be patient and content to live in one of these places a considerable time. Persons who go there and remain only a little while show a great improvement, but if they come away before they are entirely well they are liable to relapse into their former state. I understand that a residence of from eighteen months to two years in a saladeros will cure almost any case of phthisis. One of the most noted cures and one that was primarily the cause of inquiries being made on the subject, was that of Donna Fiorentina de Cibels, wife of Jaime Cibels, of the firm of Cibels Hermanoa, of Buenos Ayres. Shortly after her marriage she developed unmistakable signs of pulmonary j trouble. 'I he disease progressed until ihe became very feeble, and the doc- । tors advised her that she had but a I short time to live. Just Huout this time her husband was sent out to take I personal charge of one of his father’s : saladeros, and Mrs. Cibels, though al- ; most dead, went with him. She had not lived there many months before she began to show unmistakable signs of j improvement. She remained there ; j with her husband for four years, and when, at the end of that period, she left the place, all symptoms of con- । sumption had disappeared and Mrs. < ibels is to day as healthy a woman as lives in the republic.”—s>ir i'ork Mail and Express. l ame to ( onriision. John B. Gough used to tell of a man who, while drinking from a bowl of punch, swallowed a spool of silk, and ’ finding the end in his mouth, attempt- । ed to draw it out. The silk unwound ’ First with one hand then with another, l he pulled, but still no end. Longer: and longer grew the tb •’ad, while his hands, now right, then left, wove : back and forth from his lips to arm’s length. At last, in terror, he cried out to his wife: “Betsy! Help! Murder! I’m all unraveling!” The story is paralleled by one told of a young man in Providence who, having bought a pair of trousers, wore them for the first time to a party. Hair parted in the middle, faultless linen, brilliant necktie, shining boots, and his new trousers, all made him vain of his appearance, and led him to think that every one in the room was admiring him. All would have gone well if the I young man had not, as young men with proud heads will do, looked often with satisfaction at his feet and legs. But charmed with himself, and cast- I ing eyes once too often at the new trousers, he discovered a bit of thread on his leg. Ho seized it to pick it off, but it clung. Conversation so absorbed him that fur a few minutes the thread was for- , gotten. But later on the new trousers again attracted his eyes, and once more he saw the thread. With firmer grip he seized it, resolved this time to get . rid of it A strong pull was too successful. The thread seemed to be endless. It came following the energetic pull so readily as to run out a yard or more, unraveling a yard of the seam, and leaving a gaping rent in the trousers’ leg. The young man, in confusion, sidled away to the dressing-room, -where he pinned himself up, and then went home, taking no more delight in his varied adornments. Tennyson’s Locks. During a long cruise it is customary, we believe, on a man-of-war, to give the crew a play-day now and then, the summons being “All hands, ahoy! to make mischief!” For an hour or two Jack, being at liberty to make as mu h fun as he pleases, behaves like a schoolboy just let out. The undergraduates of Oxford are entitled by custom to turn “commemoration day,” when degrees are conferred. into a day of mischief-making, and they uproariously avail themselves of the privilege. One of their amusements is to chaff the distinguished men who enter the Oxford Theater, where commemoration is held, to receive honorary degrees. A few years ago the poet Tennyson was honored by Oxford with the degree of D. C. I . When he entered the theater, on his way to the platform to be presented to the Chancellor who confers the degrees, the students in the gallery noticed the poet’s disheveled hair, hanging in disordered locks on his shoulders, and a voice called out to him, “Allred, did your mother call you ear y, dear’?” Those who are familiar with (ho “(jueen of the May,” will recall the open ng lino: You must wake and sail mo early, call me «arly, mother clear.

Seeds That Germinate Quickly. The human system is a fruitful soil, nnd among seeds that germinate most rapidly in it are those of rheumatism and neuralgia. A slight cold, brought on by sitting in a draught, wet feet or damp clothes, will develop either of those abominable, painful maladies with uuploasant rapidity. The proper preventive of this agonizing vegetation is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a medicine which nullifies a tendency to either of the maladies named, and soothes the aches which they cause. Nor is it less effective as a remedy for rheumatism than as its preventive, a fact as amply attested as any other relating to its curative properties. Mariners, miners, frontiersmen, and others have ever found it a faithful preservative of health in unfavorable regions, and a benign remedy for malarial disorders, and stomach, liver and bowel complaints. It is a fine promoter of appetite and a capital tonic. Carl Pretzel’s Philosophy.
