Scott Speaks Disparagingly of the Commerce Law District Immorality. Washington, May 9. Ex-Governor T. A. Osborne, of Kansas, who was here last week, said that, aside from their great staples of wheat, corn, cattle and politicians, the people of the State had taken up the production of the castor bean for the manufacture of castor oil.

Thoy are also sowing flax in considerable quantity. Two railroads are building extensions the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe and the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul with a view of increasing their shares of the immense freightage produce from Kansas. A third line of railroad has also been projected and is likely to be built. The growth of the State, said the Governor, is so great that there will be business for all of them.

In any event it will give the people of the State cheaper freight rates I through competition and so add to the advantages we already enjoy.

Vincennes, May 9. During the afternoon session of the Lutheran Evan-, gehcal synod at Boonville, Philip Gyer, a-wealthy citizen of Mount Auburn, Cincinnati, who was present as a delegate, arose to make a few remarks. He had scarcely risen from his scat when he was noticed to, stagger and the next second fell on the floor dead. A physician was called, and; pronounced his case apoplexy. The re- mains were hurriedly prepared for; burial and ordered shipped at once' to the home of the deceased.

Ten, hours afterthe supposed death the remains, arrived here by special train from Evansi vvlle. John Kuster, the baggage-master, assisted by Clark Harvey, transferred thej corpse from an Evansville Terre Haute train. Harvey declares that he heard the dead man kick against the lid of the box three or four times. Mr. Kuster said to your correspondent: I have handled more coffins than any man around this depot, and I flatter myself that Im not superstitious.

The sensation that I experienced in lifting, the coffin from one car to another was the same as lifting something having life. The coffin seemed to be. alive. There was no dead weight about it. When life has loft a body it is ail dead weight.

We only had a few minutes in which to transfer the remains, and it was suggested by some of the hoys that the box be opened and an examination be made of the corpse. To this a strenuous objection was entered by an unknown gentleman who accompanied the remains. Depot Master Mechlin telegraphed from here to Washington, requesting that the coffin on arrival there be opened and an examination made of the body, bnt there, as here, the man who had charge of the corpse interposed. Word was sent from Washington to the chief of police at Cincinnati, and I understand from the night operator here that on 'the coffin being opened the man was lying on his face. His shroud was torn and there were other indications going to show that Gyer had come to life after having been placed in the coffin.

At the point where navigation ceases the cara-vau will start across country, striking the Albert Nyauza at Mzuwur, where Stanley intends to form a fortified camp and then send in advance boats to warn Emin of the arrival of the expedition and solicit transportation to Wadolai by Emins two steamers. The caravan, which presents an imposing spectacle, is about to leave here for Leopoldville. Four bodies consisting of twont.v-live men each, commanded by Europeans, will go in advauco to drive off the marauders infesting the route. The association steamer Stanley, the Livingstone mission steamer, Henry Head, and the trading steamor Florida will wait at Leopoldville to carry the expedition to the upper Congo.

The enterprise has caused a sensation among the natives. Many men 'from the factories at Banana and Boina are flocking to join the expedition, news having spread of the return of the white nroj 'hot, who will restore order among the people. POISONING A PREACHER. rilde pains in the stomach, and, being a pl.ysic.au, he realized at once that he nad been poisoned with arsenic. Not wishing to create any confusion, he informed the congregation that he w.is side, and stepped down ouf 11 t'ie pulpit.

ailing several of the deacons to his side, he hurriedly in-i'nvmed them of what had happened and he was quickly taken to Gies drug store and hydrate of magnesia was given him as an antidote. This prompt action saved his life. Alter taking an emetic a coupe was called and he was taken to his home on the Sholliyvillo pike, near the Blind Asylum. By the time lie reached home he was unconscious and for two days and nights his family watched by his bedside. At the end of that tune tho effects of the deadly poison began to work off, and it was known that ho would live.

Yesterday, for the time, he was able to be out, but is still very weak. This is the fourth attempt that has been made to kill the reverend gentleman. Miss Hempstead's Sad Death. Nicholas, May 10. The private telegram to Miss M.

F. Hewitt, principal of the Jessamine female institute, sent from Spring Station, that Miss Henrietta Hempstead, a hoarder in the school, who had gone there to visit her mother, had been accidentally shot through the heart and killed instantly, by her cousin, Sam Blackburn, caused a scene among the teachers and scholars that is indescribable. Miss Hempstead was a favorite with all. She has two sisters, Misses May and Sunbeam, at the school. Her father at Memphis, and sent his daughters here to be educated.

Miss Henrietta graduated lust June, and since has been prosecuting her studies in art and languages. She was a bright, beautiful girl, very small and winsome. Insurance Companies. Minneapolis, May 10. In his official report E.

B. Walker, examiner of insurance companies of the State, severely criticises the methods of business followed by several companies. Among them are tho American Life, Mutual Benevolent Association and Union Endowment of St. Paul, and Minnesota Mutual Benefit of Minneapolis. Tho examiner recommends that some of theso concerns change their plans or wind up their affairs, as they are not able to pay the full amount of their policies, and would have to resort to questionable methods of compromising with their policy holders so as not to have to pay full amount of policies.

Ax-tolls Sermon A Boys Brutal Crime. New York, May 10. A special from Tar-boro, N. says; Much excitement prevails in this section over a lynching that took place Saturday night, the first in the history of the county. Ben Hart, a negro, nineteen years old, was arrested for attempted criminal assault, on April 27, on a sixteen-yoar-old white girl, in which great brutality was displayed.

The feeling against him ran so high that Judge Shipp, holding court, ordered him taken to illiumstown for safe keeping. Time and distance only seemed to inflame the people, and Saturday night the engineer bn a material train, lying over at Rocky Mount, seventeen miles from here, was compelled by sixty armed and masked men to take his engine and two coaches and convey the party to Wiliiamstown. There some of the party surrounded the sheriffs residence to prevent any communication, while the remainder broke into the jail and dragged forth Hart. Ho was then brought back here, and, near the scene of his crime, was hanged to a tree. JENNIE BOWMAN DEAD.

Louisville, May 10. Jennie Bowman, the brave young domestic, whose brutal treatment bythe negroes Turner and Patterson so aroused the people of this city a few weeks ago, died from her injuries at 9:30 oclock last night. It will be remembered that the men were ransacking the house of Jennies employer, Mr. Johnson, at midday, when she entered and discovered them. She fought them, and received a fracture of the skull, besides brutal kicks in the side.

She has been lingering at the point of death ever since, and her great strength and tenacity alone enabled her to survive so long. A fund of about (1,000 was raised for her during her illness. The police authorities say they have sufficient evidence to convict both negroes, notwithstanding Pattersons attempt to prove an alibi. A DEFAULTERS WORK. Galveston, May 10.

Last November County Treasurer W. J. Burke left for parts unknown and an examination of his hooks showed him a defaulter to the extent of several thousand dollars. As treasurer he was the custodian of $10,000 worth of county bonds belonging to the school fund. These were non-negotiuble, but they could not bo found.

The county commissioners duly advertised, but no clow was obtained until to-day, when the First National Bank received from New York for collection the May coupons of the missing bonds, which wore forwarded by Marcus S. Trask. Payment on the coupons has been refused, and the officials have opened a correspondence with Trask with a view to locating and recovering the bonds. grinnells objection overruled. Chicago, May 10.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Shepard rendered his decision in the motion made by States Attorney Grinnell to quash the venire of jurors called in the boodle cases, holding that it was not the intention of the legislators who enacted the statute that it should be strictly complied with. Reasonable compliance was all that was necessary and it seemed that such compliance had been made in this case. "It would be next to impossible to go over the jury list every time there was an election, and that would be the only way in which it couid be strictly determined just what proportion of jurors were legal voters. The law had been reasonably complied with and the States motion was overruled. The calling of the jury was then commenced.

the panhandle robberies. Pittsburgh, May 10. The Panhandle railroad robbery eases were taken up in the criminal court yesterday morning, Judge Ewing presiding. The first case was that of William T. Lavolle, a brake-man.

The prosecution produced witnesses from Philadelphia, Denison, Pittsburg, and Penrod, and traced goods shipped from the former place to a fence established in this city, established by the detectives for the purpose of entrapping tho thieves. Detective Allen, who ran the fenco, testified that Lavelle had sold to him a large lot of goods, which he acknowledged that he had taken from a freight car. Tho goods were afterward identified ns the property of a firm in Kentucky. THAT SERMON. Chicago, May 10.

A special from Morris, 111., says: Hearing on the motion to give the alleged train robbers, Schwartz and Watt, a new trial began this afternoon. Among the many affidavits submitted by the State in rebuttal to those filed by the defendants was one signed by thirty responsible persons who heard tho much talked of sermon delivered by Rev. Dr. Axtcll when the jury in the case was present at divine service in his church. The affidavit repudiates tho idea that uuy thing contained in the sermon would tend to prejudice the jury.

Arguments by counsel, pro and will probably occupy several days." KILLED I1IS SISTER. Ionia, Muy 10.

I think myself he will look the ground over very carefully and count all the chances before he will permit himself to be a candidate again. If he de- cides to accept the nomination, it will be accepted as certain evidence that he has discounted all the chances and believes that he can be elocted. We can win the next fight, I feel certain. COMMISSIONER SPARKS. Washington, May 9.

The New York Times, which has been, in times past, rather soft on Commissioner Sparks, has begun to sour on him, and prints a half column of savage onslaught. It first charges him with violating civil service rules by taking his clerks from other bureaus of the Interior Deportment after ho has ascertained them to bo Democrats, thus cheating tbs Civil Service Commission. It follows this up with the following: Sparks has undoubtedly been an honest and useful officer, but his usefulness would be greater if he were less egotistical and had a better memory. If he were not possessed with the idea that the head of tho Land Office is carrying the Government upon his shoulders he would do well. It would be better if he could avoid repeating one story to tho friendly visitors who call upon him.

But he signally lacks the faculty of forgetting his own story, and invariably insists, no matter what subject may lie introduced, in going back a great distance to make a circuitous route. He has apparently no gift of concentration and no taste for brevity. It is unfortunate, for his reminiscences are apt to obfuscate and fatigue his listener, and he goes away forgetting the point he set light upon, and perhaps with half-formed resolutions not to go again. No one ever tells tho Land Commissioner his faults, foari ng the truth may provoke his wrath. SCOTT DISPARAGES THE COMMERCE LAW.

Washington, May 9. The testimony of William F. Scott, of Rennsylvsnia, has been added to the evidence of the character of tho Inter-State Commerce bill. Scott voted for the bill in tho Houso, ho says, because public clamor for it was so great that he no other way to satisfy the people than to pass the bill. Ho says that it has hud an injurious effect all over the country.

Of one matter ho says: One effect of the law has been to shut down about tho only iron manufacturing establishment in Iowa. It is a barbed wire mill, which was started as a co-operative investment by the grangers. They secured freight rates which are known in the as milling tariffs by which they were permitted to bring their raw material from tho East, hold it over for the manipulation at their factories and then send it on to points of destination further West, in the manufactured shape at the single through rate from tho sea-board to the farthest Western point. It was a great advantage to them, and a delegation of the grangers have been Washington asking the Commission to suspend the operations of tlie law their behalf, but the Commission decided it could not do so, and the factory must shut down. THE POLYGAMY LAW.

Washington, Slay 9. Tho prosecuting officer of this District has made a discovery which may givo him some occupation. Ho has decided that the now Edmunds bill to suppress polygamy applied to this District as well as to Utati, and that its penalties rolr.to to illicit relations between people who aro not Mormons. The docision has been readied by the District Attorney at the instance of tho police, who have suggested whether it would bo possible to proceed against a certain immoral house, the proprietors of which have heretofore defied detection and punishmont on account of the strict rules which have hitherto been enforced ns to ovidenuo in such cases in tho courts bore, Tho suction of the law which is expected to bo most effectual in applying tbisstatuto to tho District is the second which authorizes the inuntico of an attachment against any porson who may bo needed as witness without previous subpoena or notice. Wholly Speculative.

PoTTsvai.n, May 10, Tho reports from this region indicating an impending general miners striko mny bo pronounced wholly speculative. No action looking to such movement has been taken by either the Miners Amulgamntcd Association, the Knigtitsof Labor or the men as an unorganized body. An advance has been asked, but such a thing as a strike in case of refusal was not even mentioned when the demand was decided on. ROCK ISLAND THIEVES. A Gang Cutler Arrest in Chicago With One Exception.

CnicAoo, May 9. For several months past the freight cars of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railway Company have been plundered, the thieves taking every thing possible from grain to general merchandise. Detectives were set to work and soon discovered that the robberies were committed in the Town of Lake and that a large gang wore engaged in the work. On the night of April 19 the detectives mounted guard on a train of merchandise standing near Forty-seventh street, and were rewarded by the arrival of the thieves, who proceeded to break open a car load of hides. The officers permitted them to get well along and then endeavored to capture them.

A stock train was backing down the track, however, and as the plunderers leaped to the ground this train cut them off completely from all the officers save one, William Allen, who instantly opened fire. The fire was promptly returned and a blow from a car link upon the head stretched him out. At this moment another detective, who had succeeded in swinging himself through the moving train, came upon the scene and discharged his pistol at the fugitives. He was almost able to overtake one whom he recognized to be a burglar named Fred Keyser. Since that time the Rock Island officers have been quietly at work and have discovered a portion of the gang in the persons of Pat McCauley, Edward Mushier, Joe Morris, Fred Keyser and Robert Johnson, all of them bad characters.

McCauley, E. Mushier and Morris are safe in hand and to-day Robert Johnson was arrested, leaving but one unaccounted for. SEISMOLOGY. An Austrian Professor on tlie Recent American Earthquakes. Vienna, May 9.

The American earthquakes were followed by a slight shock at Aussee, near Salzberg, yesterday, but whether the events have any connection with one another seems doubtful. I have interviewed Prof. I-Iuess, of Vienna University, who lias mado a special study of American seismology. He has received no direct information from America, but thinks the last earthquakes are nothing more than a prolongation of previous orthographic movements in the so-called Great Basin, fully observed and described by Israel Russell and Gilbert. Tho region between the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains and Balt Lake City notoriously abounds in faults or fissures, extending several hundred miles north and south.

He assumes that the earthquakes are caused by a simple sinking in of the earths surface along certain of these faults. The professor smiles at the idea that the dates of such disturbances can be foreseen; though rash people may predict them, he thinks there is no particular cause for alarm. The Virginia Ronds. Richmond, May 10. The sub-committee of the Virginia Debt Commissioners last night agreed on a report to be submitted to the General Assembly.

From this it appears that the latest proposition of the bondholders representatives was that they should have a principal sum of 126,887,000. In addition they demanded in cash from the State $1,002,000, being 40 percent, of the 60 per cent, of aggregates of interest on the consol and 10-40 debt. They also demanded that the bonds be exempt from taxation and that the State foot the bill of tho commission. This proposition was refused by the legislative committee who presented as an ultimatum that the principal of tho debt be fixed at, approximately, $25,000,000 to run fifty years at three per cent, with an equity of paymont after ton years. The other side then agreed to abate $1,179,000 of their demand, but this the representatives of tlie State, doclined and the conference ended.

Tho American Boil Telephone Company commenced suit yesterday in tlie United Ktutes Court against tho Egan Electric Manufacturing Company, a local organization others, to enjoin them from manufacturing or using what is known as the Egan telephone ami to recovor damages for past infringements.
