Thomas Do Quincey's bold postulate
that a man who began by committing
murder might keep on in his career of
crime until he would be guilty of down
right incivility, has been proven true in j
Colorado, where there has just been |
hanged, for stealing a ten-dollar horse, a
man who had been tri.d for murder five
times.
The editor of the Advocate, a journal
published in "Waihington in the interest
of the colored race, has collected information
in regard to the wealth of the
most prosperous negroes in the States of
Union, and the showing is really astonishing.
In South Carolina, for instance,
the property owned by negros is estimated
as worth $10,000,000. In Georgia
negroes pay taxes on an assessment of J
more than ?8,000,000, and other States
show equally remarkable statistics.
A small room in the jSew York City
Hall, used to store documents in, is probably
the scene of more mairiage ceremonies
than any other room in the country.
Hardly a day passes that one or more
marriages do not take place there. The
persons married are Italians and others,
with -wedding outfits of the simplest J
kind, who pay fees ranging from 10 I
cents to n dollar. The Alderman who j
performs the ceremony charges nothing j
for his services, bat the fees go to the
person who looks after and "works up"
this line of business.
Mr. Jarvis, the United States Minister
to Brazil,says regarding the cholera,now
prevailing in Buenos Ayrcs and the Argentine
republic, that there is little danger
of its sj reading northward, even as
far as Brazil. Uruguay lies between the
infected regions and the great South
American Empire, and a very efficient
quarantine is maintained by both th<r
Uruguayan and the Brazilian Governm?nta
at the ports and islands. The
disease was introduced, it is thought, by
Italian immigrants, who have been pour
ing into liuenos Ayrcs in great uumueia
recently. "TThereare
your tickets," gents?",
asked the doorkeeper of a St. Louis
theatre to a line of [men who confronted
h'm in "Indian file." "^.t's all right,"
shouted a man at the tail end of the line.
"I've got the tickets. There's twelve of
us with me. Count 'em as tjjey go in."
''In you go, gents," said the doorkeeper,
* and he tallied offj eleven, who immediately
mixed with the crowd within. The
doorkeeper turned to look for the holder
of the tickets, but he had disappeared,
and eleven men saw the performance safe
from identification .in the tremendous
throng of people.
Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, who
has closely studied the Indian question,
gives it as his opinion that the only solution
of the problem of Indian civilization
is in their concentration, vesting
them with individual rights of property
and by cqpipelling them to live by their
own labor. Individual rights, he argues,
aee required to develop individual
citizenship. Our mistake hitherto has
been that we have failed to encourage
Independence and self-reliance among
the red men, while we have at the same
time encroached upon their actual means
of support by absorbing their lands and
hunting-grounds. "Wuerw aa o^nosit?

' "Whatever the Spanish Governmen
may neglect to do in the line of national
development,it is evidently determined,"
eays the New York Observer, "not to fall
behind the age any farther in respect to
the organization of its navy. The Spanish
Cortes has just voted a grant of $45,0C0,000
for the purchase and equipment of
new war vessels, and lias authorized the
construction of a number of fast cruisers
and torpedo boats. As Spain has a number
of foreign dependencies, like Cuba
and the Philippines, to look after, beside
a number of more or less jealous neighbors,
she may, perhaps, be justified in
incurring this great expense. It wil
need something more, however, thun
fast cruisers and torpedo boats to bring
Spain up to the rank of a first-class na
tion." _____________
The weather signals adopted for general
use of the United States Signal Service
on and after march 1, 1887, are described
by Chief Officer Ilazen's circular
as follows: "With a view of securing
a uniform system of signals, it is
recommended that flags now in use be
replaced by those herein described, aa
the former become worn out or unserviceable.
The flags described are four

"Enquirer" puts this problem to the
Boston Journal:
Mr. A. had a heifer calf given him. At
the age of two years she had a calf and continued
to have a heifer calf every year after
this; and each calf became the mother of a
heifer calf at the age of two years and had
one ea?h year after. When the first calf was
twenty years old how mauy cows and calves
were there, provided there had be.'n no
deaths among them?
The answers received have varied
widely. One little miss figured out 153
. as the total sum. "Enquirer's own
figures were 17,711, while another maD
said 28,317. The majority united upoD
10,04G. A similar question was propounded
in the Maine Farmer's Almanac
a few years ago, the difference being that
each supposititious cow Had two neiici
calves. It was then derided that the
number of cows at the end of twenty
years would be 090,031. w.
HOME RULERS ARRESTED,
Prominent Nationalists Taken
Into Custody in Ireland.
Charged With Conspiring to Induce
Tenants Not to Pay Rent,
As a result of the latest "plan of campaign"
of the Irish Home Rule leaders, a
numler of them have been arrested. A
Dublin special gives details as follows:
John Dillon, raembar of Parliament for
East Mayo; William O'Brien, Editor of
United Ireland;" Matthew Harris, Membe
of Parliament for East (Salway; aud David
Sh?eby, Member of Parliament for South
Galway, wore arrested to-day in the
town " of Loughrea, County Galway,
| < harged with conspiracy to derraud. An
I immense Nationalise meeting was held at
I Loughrea this afternoon at which Father
Cunningham presided and a number of other
I -i lVIIrm O Rripn Har
WIUl IliVU UU\I .ULJJ. w ? ,
lis and Sheehy were on tha platform.
A largo contingent of I.ord Clanri[
carrie s tenants was present. Messrs. Dillon
and O'Brien addressed the meeting and then
opened Nationalist rent ollices. Hundreds of
tenants came forward and paid their
rents. {Suddenly the police made a
ra d on the offices. Inspector Davies
seied inmey, documents and books
and arrested Mr. Dillon, and, it is
alle;;eJ, roughly troatei him. The police
went upstairs and took possession of more
m ney and do uments. They then arr<st?i
Mr. O'B: ien, and afterward Messrs.
H; irris and Sliealiy. The specific charge
a ainst t'ao lour men is that they
were conspiring to induce tenants not to pay
th?ir lawful rents. The police took away
fro n Mr. Dillon $400 which he had just receive.!
iu trust from tenants. The four men
were taken lefore a magistrate and remanded
for a week.
'J'ho pa?er L'nitcil Ireland says that John
Dillon's line of conduct will not be changed
i by the Government's sentence ordoriug nim
to furnish a bond, with two sureties, for ins
' ?00cl I ehavior in the future." "Nobody,"
says that paper, 'Veres a rush for Judge
O'Brien's pious opinion concerning the legality
of the plan of campaign."
Thomas Mayene, Farnellite Membsr of
Parliament for Middle Tipperary, who, in
the capacity of trustee under tha "plan of
campaign, is receiving from 1\ exford
county tenants the reduced rents refused
by the landlords and their agents, has been
served with notice by the agent of thj
Brooke estate; that if" he makes any other
use of the moneys so deposited with him than
to return then to the tenants the law will be
applied to him. This threat, if carried out,
will test the question of the rights of tenants
to permit their ren's to be expended in fighting
the landlords of the government in prosecutions
for participation in the "plan of
campaign."

Many Lives Lost on a Burning
Mississippi Steamboat.
A Stately Vessel Burned Quickly to
the Water's Edge.
The steamboat J. M. White, from Vicksburg
for New Orleans, -was burned at 10
o'clock the other night at Blue Store, thirty
miles from Baton Rouge, La. She had about
forty-fivo passengers on board, and many
fatalities occurred. Her cargo consisted
of 2,100 bales of cotton and G,OOC
sacks of seed, and was valued ac $150,000.
The steamooat was built in 1878 at a cost of
$22-5,000. She was regarded by many ai the
finest and fastest boat on the Mississippi
River.
When the alarm first sounded Alexander
McVay, the head clerk, was sitting at the
stove in the cabin. The first peal of the bell
caus3cl liim to rush outside, and seeing the
flames leap high in the air, he ran back to the
cabin and eudeavored to get the books and i
monev. The fire gained too rapidly on I
him and ho was compelled to leave the office,
lut not before he succeeded in getting a sum
of money out of the safe. Mr. McVay then
turned his attention to .'aving the cabin paasar.jjers,
eight ladies and nine or tan men.
The terrified passengers quickly got out,
nearly all of tham in their night garments.
Among them was Mr. Stafford, Superintendent
of the Vidalia Southern Railroad. He
had his wife and twoctiildreD, girls aged nine
and twelve years, with him. He called his
family around him and bade them follow
him. By tbis time the flames had reached
the cabin and the thick smoke was rolling
through it The panic-stricken passengers
quickly made for an entrance, some to
the stern and others to the front. The
Superintendent was among those who went to
the bow. Upon reaching the deck he grasped
his two children, one after the other, and
threw them into tha river. Before he and
his wife cou'd follow, the flames had reached
them and they were burned to death.
The two pilots on ware h, John Stout and
Bob Smith, were in tha pilot-house and were
compelled to jump into the river, where they
were picked up. The deck was crowded
with roustabouts and do:k passengers, thirty
of the latter having got on the vessel at New
Texas Landing, just above where the boat
burned. Nearly all of the to wore lost.
While the passengers and crew were esraping
from the boat the steampipo blew up and
was hurled 300 yards in the air. The force
of the explosion also caused over twenty
bales of burning cotton to be hurled high in
the air, whore they revolved several timus
and fell back into the river Immediately
after the explosion shrieks were heard
coming from thu str; n of the vessel. For an
instant two colore.l women were seen standing
on the gallery just back of the wheelhouse,
and the next instant they were hidden
from view by tte smoke and flames and
were not sea again.
The firstj art of tha boat to give way was
the wheelhcuse. When it fell into the water
tue i.auies swepi mrougu me upcu smko iu
left in the center of the boat, devouring all
in the way. Those that escaped were taken
away from the s ene by the steamboat Stella
Wild, which plie? between Bavou Sara
and Natchez. As tho Stella Wild was
backing out. four kegs of gunpowder that
were in the hold of the steamboat White explode;!,
and the cotton and burning timber
were hurled in all directions. This virtually
put the fire out,and what was once a palatial
, steamer was then a blackened wreck. When
the Wild reached t e ruins, a loud cry for
help came from the middle of the stream.
A rioat was lowered, and tbos? in it quickly
i pulled in the direction of the cry. Through
the darknos; they saw the figure of a man
grasping a bale of cotton, but before they
could reach him the bale turned over, anil,
when it was righted the man was gone.
Wm. McUreevy, chiif engineer of.boat,
makes this statement:
"At 10;10 o'clo.k !a?t ni^rc, while we were
at Pointe Coupee loaArag cotton, fire was
discovered amidships on top of the cotoon
below the boiler de.-k. Engineers Barry and
Janny, who were on watch, gave the alarm.
The rumps were put to work, but without
avail. Tom Miller, the watchn.au,
gave the alarm by ringing the bell,
and Clerks Callahan and Hill at
once aroused the people in the cabin. The
fire spread rapidly, aud in less than fifteen
minutes the boat "had burnel to the water's

magazino, and Iho moment the fire reached
them the flames shot up over 100 feet high.
The sight was the most heartrending ever
witnessed by human being. The shouting of
the women and children for help was awful."
There were in the cabin nine lady passengers
and about eight men. At Now Texas
twenty deck passengers were taken on
board. All are s upposed to be lost. It is
learned that Andrew P ere-?, a sailor, and
Antonio Rebatta, a fireman, are the men to
whom all credit of saving the survivors is
duo.
Capt. Henry C. Brown, State Engineer,
who wa3 a passenger on the White, estimates

FOUND GUILTY.
The "Boodle" Alderman's Second
Trial Kesults In Conviction.
rm t i tt n . i ft
ine dury itenaer a verdict Aitei
Being Out Fifteen Minutes.
Ifc will be remembered that the first trial of
Alderman McQuade, charged with accepting
a large bribe to pass the Broadway
horse-car charter in New York, resulted in
no verdict, notwithstanding that the Aldermanic
accomplices testified to the illegal acts
of bribery in order to save themselves. Because
no corroborative evidence was
offered at the first trial, th?
Judge's charge was favorable to the
prisoner, and the jury was discharged aftei
being out a long time and being unable to
come to a decision, nine standing for acquittal
and three for conviction. At this second
trial the testimony of the two accomplices,
with corroborative evidence, was offered,
and the result was reversed. We give the
closing^ scenes of the trial from the New
York papers as follows:
The second trial of ex-Alderman Arthur J.
McQuade, on a charge of receiving a bribe
in connection with the grant of the Broadway
franchise, eaded parly last evening
in the conviction of the defendaut. The
result was quickly reached when the case
was once submitted to the jury. The. trial
! 3 _J 1 1. S in.rt1 ..A
occupied nmeieeu tuui l uu/s, mu>c u
which were spent in obtaining a jury. The
sessions yesterday were occupied by the closing
address of Colonel Fellows, Assistant
District Attorney, and a strong charge by
Ee order Smyth.
The case was submitted to the jury shortly
before 7 p. m., and the jurors retired to the
Grand Jury room,adjoining the court room,
under the charge of the court officers. In
less than fifteen minutes the jurors informed
Court Officer Curry, who was prepared
for a long vigil, that they had agreed
upon a verdict. The information was immediately
communicated to Recorder Smyth,
who bad just sat down, with the counsel and
attorneys for the people, to a hastily prepared
dinner served in the District-Attorney's
office. Without waiting to finish
their meal the Re:order and his companions
hastened to the court-room. McQuade, his
brother and hi? lawyers were already there
occupying their ac.-ustomed s.?ati They
were evidently prepared for the worst,
believing that if a verdict had been
reached so quickly it mint bte against them,
since they pinned their only hope upon a
disagreement among the twelve.
When the jurors died into their seats in the,
box at 7:15, half au hoar after the.last words
of the Recorder's charge had been spoken,
there were less thai! tifty persons in the room,
few having expected tnat an agreement
would be come" to so soon. The faces
tn**nv*a wnro nn flrnrflcainn whifh
ill concealed the conclusion they had reached.
All appeared to feel keenly the responsibilities
attached to their positions and one 01
two looked at the prisoner with an expression
akin to pity.
"Ha. e you agreed upon a verdict?" asked
Assistant Clerk Moser when the jury were
seated and the crier had called the assembly
to order.
' We have." responded Foremau Henry
Ottenborg deliberately.
"What is your verdict?" asked the clerk.
"We find that the prisoner is guilty of the
charges contained in the first count of the
indictment," was Mr. Ottenberg's firm and
distinct reply.
At the word gu:Itv McQuade, who up to
this moment had retained the perlest composure
which marked his course throughout
the long trial, placed his hands on the railing
in iront of him and drew himself out of
his chair until ho almost stood erect
and then sank back again. The color rose
to his cheeks and he looked straight ahead of
him for a moment as though stunned. He
quickly recovered his self-possession, however,
and when he -turned around to speak
t> his brother he appeared as little
disconcerted as the most disinterest? 1 spectator.
G neral Tra?y, Mr. New.ombe and
ex-Senator Grady, the prisoner's lawyers,
sat as stolidly as though they were not concerned
in the ease.
After thanking and complimenting the jury
the Recorder discharged them and McQuado
tlia Tnmh: fn Ha cpntpnrPfi I
was laf-cu uov? v>j ? ? ?
on the following Friday. The maximum
punishment for his crime is tea years' imprisonment
end to pay a fine of *5.000.
BOLD TRAIN ROBBERS,
Three Men Capture a Train in
Broad Daylight.
In broad daylight a few days since the
mail and express train on the Fort Worth
and Denver Kailroad, stopped at a water
tank just north of Belle vue station,
seventy-five miles north of Fort
Worths A few minute3 before the
train arrived three men had ridden up to
a h juse two hundred yards from the tank}
tied their horses and ordered dinner. They
walked leisurely toward the tank, and about
that time the train pulled in. une or toe
robbers with drawn pistol ordered Engineer
Ayers and his fireman and O. G. Miller, another
engineer who was riding in the cab, to
allight, which they did- He then marched
them some thirty feet from the train and
went through them talcing all the valuables
they had. While this was going on the other
men went through tha train. One of the
Sassengers, who was looking out of the winow
an.l saw the operation with the train
men, divining the situation, went into the
forward cjrs and exclaimed:
"Put away your money and valuables; we
will be robbed." At once the passengers
sorreted all they could and awaited results.
In the smoking-car were five United States
soldiers (negroe?) belonging to the Twentyfourth
Infantry, uuder command of Captain
Connors in charge of two deserters who
were being taken to Leavenworth from Fort
Sill. When it was seen that the soldiers were
going to fight, several pass?n?ers went to
Connors and begged him to submit tamely,
saying the wonen and children were
greatly alarmed and that all the valuables
were hidden away. Connors reluctantly consented
to do as requested. By this time the
t wo men had readied the sjldiers, and covering
them with revolvers, demanded their
pistols, which the soldiers surrendered.
Many of the passengers secreted their
money in various ways, giving most of it
(with their diamonds) to several ladies
aboard. About $12,000 in money and
irt.OCO worth of diamonds and other
valuables were left by the robbers
in their haste to get through the
traiD, and because they did not search
the ladies. They were evidently novice* in
the business, and went away with the paltry
sum of $105, three gold watohes, teu silver
watches five revolvers and one gold ring.
The robbers left the train at the rear of the
sleeper, mounted horses standing near by
and rode raj idly aw a v.
The train was then hurried on to Bellevue,
where telegrams were sent to Superintendent
Frost, at Fort Worth, who immediately seplied,
offering $350 reward for each robber
