WEST. During a recent trip over his Southwestern roads, says a St. Louis dispatch, Mr. Gould discovered that there were in his confidence some persons who were making lively work with his profits. He found that the price paid for railroad tie at Bald Knob, Gulliver, and Forest C ity, Ark., was from 21 to 23 cents apiece, while Contractor Cowan charged the company nearly 10 cents per tie more. In Texas Mr. Gould is said to have learned that the ties for which his road had paid 38 cents apiece had been supplied to contractors within ten miles of Texarkana for 2'3 cents, while in other sections of Texas the cost to the contractor had been from 28 to 30 cents. Mr. Gould further learned, it is claimed, that this corner in the tie market scooped in not only the Iron Mountain, but the Missouri, Kansas and Texas, tbe Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, the Bock Island, and even others, and that the corner had ben nurtured for three years. The number of ties for wbioh exorbitant

1 prices had been paid exceeded ten millions, and the Missouri Pacific is said to have lost about $1,000,000. It is alleged that , there were some changes in the imbordinate departments of the road as the result j of this discovery, and the idea is csnveyed

that some of Mr. Gould's trusted officials were concerned, in the large profits made in these ties. A Chicago dispatch says that TV. J. McGarigle, one of the convicted boodlers, escaped from th 3 custody of Sheriff Matson Saturday nij;ht. Visiting his home in Lake View in the Sheriff's custody, he was accorded leave to have a bath in the bath room, and took advantage of this to make his escape. McGarigle was lately Warden of the Cook County Hospital, and was under a threes-ears' penitentiary sentence. The house of George M. Brubaker, of

Delphos, Kan,, was burned and his two-

year-old child was burned to death. . . .The

St. Louis Cooperage Company s works

were destroyed by fire. Loss, $20,000.

to have been killed or injured.

Chicago elevators contain 9,402,074 bushels of wheet, 1,868,271 bushels of

corn, 313,048 bushels of oats, 40,945

bushels of rye, and 13,230 bushels of

a year ago.

Gen. James M. Comly, editor of the

Toledo Commercial, died at his home in that city. He wan a brave soldier during

the war. and had been active in Ohio pol

itics as a .Republican for many years.

A Salt Lake dispatch announces the death of John Taylor, President of the

Mormon Church. He was an Englishman,

and was 78 years old. He was Presi

dent of the twelve apostles when Brigham

Young died, in 1877, and as such remained

at the head of the church tali 1880, when

he organized the first Presidency anew,

taking the chief place himself, which he

held till his death. After the passage of

the Edmunds law of 1882 he pretended to

give np his wives, but constantly preached

that no Mormon could do this, and nobody believed that he had done it. He was in

dicted early in 1885. He last appeared in

public Feb. 1, 1885. Since then he had

been in hiding from the officers of the law.

Taylor was one of the earliest and firmest

adherents of polygamy, yet after adopting

it he took occasion to deny that such a

practice prevailed among Mormons.

A Chicago telegram of Wednesday

says: Yesterday was a red-letter day for the prosecution in the boodle trial. Butcher

Bipper and Grocer Bobinson testified to

corrupt dealings with the "gang" extend

ing over a number of years, giving their

evidence with great minuteness of de

tail, and coming out of their cross-

examination with flying colors. Several

other important witnesses were examined.

and, on the whole, the day's developments

were a bitter dose for the defendants. They

revealed the existence of a system of

wholesale fraud and bribery than which nothing more brazen or flagrant has ever been disclosed in the annals of official

knavery, and render the case for the State apparently impregnable. McGarigle, who

escaped from custody last Sunday, has not

been heard of. It is believed he is sure in

Canada. Sheriff Matson has offered a re

ward of $2,500 for his arrest.

Fire in the "Big Boston" Building, at

Minneapolis, Minn., burned out W. E.

Steele & Co., extensive clothiers; the

Franklin Bazaar, and other firms. The loss

is placed as high as $750,000.

A committee from Kansas City waited

on the President and invited him to visit

that booming town during his approaching

tour. The President accepted the invita

tion, and will do Kansas City some time

between the 1st and 15th of October.

A Chicago telegram of Thursday last

says:

Inter eating and racy developments were made Again yesterday in the boodlora' trial A num

ber of persona testified to nailing goods to the county and navinff commissions to momburi of

the gang. Several of the witnesses admitted that they cheated the county in their bills in order to make up for the amounts given the ganjr. Henry C. Walker, a carriage manufacturer, swore that a bill presented tbe county in hia nume and nis signature on the

w arrant issued in pay xn ent tb er eof

were forgeries. It is the universal impression in Chicago that the entire batch of indicted officials will bo convict ad and sent to

the penitentiary. McGarigle is now believed to have sailed from Chicago on the schooner E. B. Blake, which cleared suddenly from this port Saturday night, ostensibly for Kingston.

Ontario. An interest in tbe schooner is owned by Dr. St John, the friend of the f ugitive, who had

a long conversation with him at the jail Saturday afternoon. A yacht is in pursuit of the K.

K Blake, which has not touched at any port

since leaving uoicago.

A DKEadful calamity occurred on the

Kansas City line of the Chicago and Alton Eaiiway near Hopedale, 111., twenty-five miles west of Bloomington, en Wednesday

afternoon. Freight train No. 74, bound for

Kansas City, crashed into the construction train on OrendoriFs bridge, two miles south

of Hopedale. A large number of cars were

smashed and many casualties resulted. The following were killed: Morton Dunseth, of Delavan; "Walter, a boy on the construction train: James Brown, of Hopeca!; Frank Drake, of Petersburg; Piano Larrow, of Ashland; James Kellogg, reside ice unknown. The following were wranded: August Kadel, of B loomington, shoulder broken; John Ely, of Hoped&le. leg broken and foot smashed; Soiniel Anderson leg amputated; W. Kenney9 of Tallula, head braised; Sher-

mail Atkins, of Hopedale, leg hurt; Thomas Kavanaugh, road master, of the Alton Road, leg and ankle sprained; Frank Holmes, of Bloomiugton, engineer of the freight, arm hurt; Thomas Delong, brakeman, of Bloomington, badly hurt; Finsman Maher of Bloomington, slightly hurt, Tbe wounded and killed were all taken to

i Hopedale, and the injured received atten

tion from .bloomington surgeons. The cause of the accident is still unknown. B. K. Anthony, the aggressive editor of the Leavenworth Times t was publicly horsewhipped in that city by Councilman Bond, whom he hnd assailed in his paper. This is no new experience for the veteran ediior, who is never without amerce personal controversy on hand, and sometimes has half a dozen at a time. He is a brother of Susan B. Anthony, and is a born tighter. At nst accounts he was parading the streets of Leavenworth with a revolver in his hand, while his assailant had been arrested and released on bail. The Citizens' Savings Bank of Leavenworth has closed its doors. The President (Clemens) is a defaulter to the tune of about $10,000, and has left for parts unkuown. The bank held over $100,000 of deposits. SOUTH.

Henry Wiggins, a negro, nged!!0, was hanged in the jail at Paiatka, Fla., for murder. The execution was private. Life was extinct in twenty-three minutes, hiei neck being broken by the fall. Wiggins mad s no statement, but the attending priest; spoke for him. He said he was sorry for the crime, and begged forgiveness of all. George Washington, a negro, attempted a criminal assault on Miss Bettie Varnin of Mississippi City, Miss., and waslynched. Hi chard Harkness, who had turned Mormon and was living with three wives, was taken out of his house near Columbia, S. C, by a band of "regulators," a night or two a?o, peeled to the bun"', and given twenrv-five lashes, every one of which drew blood. WASHINGTON. This colored people of New Orlefius are reported to be indignant and excited over

the announcement, apparently official, that colored troops will not be permitted to participate in the international military encampment to be held at Chicago. This Missouri delegation to urge the President to visit St. Louis reached the White House Monday. Abo at one hundred and fifty ladies and gentlemen were in the party, and their reception by the Chief Magistrate was quite cordial. Mayor Francis mane a speech informing the President of the many interests that asked his presence in the West His Excellency replied in a very happy manner, concluding w:ith the words: But the thing must be cio;ie. I will come," and adding, "Mrs. Cleveland will not let me forget her." The members of the Cabinet and their wives were included in the invitation. Upon the assumption that the causes of complaint have been removed, the Secretary of the Interior recommends the Attorney General to discontinue suits now pending against prominent cattle companies in New Mexico for maintaining

fenoes on the public domain, the defendants to pay all costs. The President has appointed the following-named postmasters: John 0. Seltzer, at Shenandoah, Pa., vice S. P. Kindt, resigned; John Vandevoort, at We lint on, Ohio, vice M. B. Potter, deceased; Oscar H. Dean, at Pentwater, M:ichi-

an, vice C. F. Lewis, resigned;

ation, oppose pau per and convict immigration, and favor a ireform in elections. The noted Prohibition leader, General Clinton B. Fisk, of New Jersey, says the Prohibitionists will nominate a national ticket :aext year, and believes a combination between them and the Lator party not improvable. LABOR."" Large numbers of strikers in the coke region have returned to work, but new complications are said to have arisen which may prevent a settlement of the trouble It has been one of the most stubborn strikes ever seen in Pennsylvania, and the loss in wages alone is estimated at $996,300. The membership of the "knights of Labor is rapidly diminishing m Rhode Island. A Pittsburgh paper in authority for the statement that elaborate plans have been made to control ti e approaching General Assembly in the interest of the Powdeily clique. INTERSTATE COMMERCE. . The Interstate Commerce Commission has delivered its opinion in the cases brought by Louis Larrison and the Michigan Cer.tral against the Grand Trunk Railroad Company, Larrison complained that the road would not Bell him a 1,000-mile ticket at the price paid by commercial travelers, and the Michigan Cer.tr.il Company complains that the Grand Trunk Company was selling to commercial travelers at lower rate? than to the public generally. The opinio;! says: Conuncircial travelers are not privileged to ride ove:r railroads tit lower rates than are paid by other persons. Whatever reasonable ratep commercial travelers are made to pay othe:r travelers may bo inade to pay. To charge one man more then another is unjust dicriraiuaton, and this is true whether ticket? issued are mileage tickets or in some other form. In the complaint of the St. Lo iis grocers that the Missouri Pacific Road charges $25 for 1, 000-mile tickets, while making commutation rates which would amount to not more than $15 for 1,(100 miles, the commission in its decision says ii: does not regard the fact that commutation tickets are put on sile at a given rate as entitling the purchaser of a mileage ticket to complain of uujust discrimination if it charged a higher rate. The circumstances; and conditions .re not the same. Th commission finds nothing in the testimony going to show that the chargo of $25 for a 1,000mile ticket is unreasonable.

CHICAGO COUKESPONDENCE. At this writing tbe seemingly irresistible forces under Captain Anson are fighting what it is expected will be the decisive point in the championship raoe against Detroit. The first attiack was made by tho White Btovkings last Saturday, and resulted in the complete routing of the W olverine contingent, the score standing 8 to 4. at tho finish. Three niore games are to be played two scheduled and a postponed and ono of two results seems inevitable. Either Chicago will return home from its second Eastern trip leadi og the balance of the League clubs i o the pennant race., or else it will be neerer the top of the list than it has yet been this year. Tho last tour of the Detroi';tcam has been anything but satisfactory in its results to Detroiters. When they returned to their headqumters last week they received anything but a Mattering reception. The meteoric dror of

the club, a change from winning everything

to losing everything, has been as remarkable in its wo,v as the advance of tbe Chi

cago team from sb:th to second nlace. Out

of the last ten games played three in New York, three in Philadelphia, three in Washington, and the one on Saturday, in Detroit Detroit has won just one $;amet and that not the game with Chicago. The

once great siuggern seem now to be the invalids of the Leaeue.

Strange diamonds, unfriendly crowds, change of water and diet, passing sleepless nights on railwav trains during the

warm weather, and various other excuses

have been ottered for the poor success achieved. 3utlast Saturday settled all.

Chicago whipped tho heavy batter:? on their own grounds, and the hope that has

neen nurtured in the Ljosom of every follower of the club has slowly departed. The chances of winning the pennant are growing less and less, and if the Wolver

ines do not get out of the present rut they will soon be passed by Chicago, lioeton

ana jnew xorK. The White Stockings return noma on Thursday of this Meek, and will meet: tha

Bostons for a series of three games, after

which we are to cross bats with Washing, ton, New York, Philadelphia and Detroit successively before departing again for

our last eastern trip 01 the season. THE WEEK S SENSATIONS.

The week just past has not been without

its sensations in :he base-ball world, the first of these was tie bold bid of President

Mmiok, of the Pittsburgh Base-ball Club, for Ward, of New York. He wired Presi

dent J. B. Day, of the New York Club, to the elfect that Pittsburgh would give $5,000 for the famous Johnnv or make ft

iraae. oucn pmery enterprise is something remarkable at: this stage of the sea

son, and caused considerable talk among

lovers or tne game everywhere when it became known. President Day, of the New York Club, refused to entertain any

proposition, however, forward's purchase. NEW YOKK'S OOUNTEH-OFPEK. No sooner had Nimick's offer for Ward, and Day's refusal thereof grown :ldf than an announcement was made to the

eflect that tha New York Club had pur-

cnasea juorris, tho clever left-handed pitcher of the Pittsburg team. Negotia

tions were really entered into and bc f ar completed that Manager Mutrie, of the "Giants," went to Pittsburg to pay over

uw purcnase money and secure the player's contract. The result of the transaction, however, may be seen in the following dispatch from Pittsburg, which sava: "The management of the Pittsburgh Ball Club have decided not to nart with Mo -ria.

their left-handed pitcher, and when Man

ager Mutrie or the New Yorks arrived to close the deal he was informed that :hey had changed their minds, and that the Giants could not have him. The frood work of Morris in the last three games, and the numerous protests received by the management nince the announcement of tho proposed sale, canned them to reconsider the matter. Morris will now be put in the box in h 3 regular turn, and an opportunity given to redeem himself. Man-

! ager Mutrie's expenses to this city will be i paid by the Pittsburgh Club."

TROUBLE AMONG THE DETBOITS. Within the past few days there has teen a general stirrlng-up in the ranks of the Detroit team, and Baldwin, Weidman and Briody, who have heretofore been considered among the best men of tie team, have been suspended and fiiLed. The causes assigned were indifferent phiy and not taking good care of themselves. Baldwin has made poor record this season. Hhi salary was very materially increased when he signed in the spring, the amount being $3,200, which, witu the exception of that received by Badbourne, is the highest salary paid any league pitcher.
