The collection nnd classification of
upon which to base the prosecution of
the dishonest star-route contractorn
nnd tlicir confederates in olFico Imvo
been continued quietly but vigorously
during Iho last \vcok. Tlio force em
ployed is small but excellent progress
haft been mndo. Evidence is comma
in from all parts of the country aim
the investigators have liad their at
tention directed every day to hitherto
unknown cases of fraud. At the
same time the postmaster general and
nocond assistant Klinor have continued
the application of common sense me
thods and business principles to the
existing fraudulent star service , nnd
the incomes of ring favorites are con
tinually becoming beautifully loss.
The reports made by honest special
agents in relation to
"CIIOOKKD' '
arc now coming in every day , nnd
much useless fradulent service has
been marked for discontinuance.
Action upon these cases is not taken
until after an exhaustive examination
nnd consideration of the arguments on
both sides. The department proposes
to bo sure it is right before it "goes
alic.nl. " At the samotimo , the methods
which Imvo prevailed in the depart-
incut , allotment of clerical work , lo
cation of divisions , uiul many other
details , have boon closely examined by
the commission whoso purpose is to
introduce proper business methods ,
nnd re-organize the working forcu in
the most elliciont manner which cir
cumstances will allow. The results of
the labors of the investigators , exam
iners of fraudulent and useless norvi
cos , and inspectors of internal econo
my of the department can not fail tote
to bo of almost incalculable advantage
to t'io ' pcoplo of the nation.
The correspondent tells tlio story of
another Salisbury route , in which ho
Bays the records show that in this
case , as in many other , the Salisburys
wore not troubled by the little for
mality of advertising each route once
in every four years , and letting it out
under competition.
THE IIOUTE WAS AUVEHTIRKI ) AN1 > ItiatTT
but thesu proceedings Hindu little dif
ference to them.
In 187 Gilmor and Salisbury were
carrying mails on a route from .Frank
lin to Helena , Jdaho. As they are ,
the annual pay was § 17,500 , or more
than $ lf > per mile for ono trip per
week. Tlio distance was four hun
dred and fifty milen , nnd the service
seven trips per week. In the list of
bidders appear several persons who
do not now appear in the same way.
Saundorson , of the Barlow combina
tion , would do the work for $ ia5OOU.
Salisbury would take it for 8120,000 ,
but Sanderson's man Iluntly could do
it for 805,000 , and Salisbury'w man
and others could do it all the way
down from § 59,050 to § 15,000. This
was certainly remarkable. The Mor
mons put in a bid of $13,000. Jack
son V.-IIH given the contract for the
term of four years from July 1 , 1874.
His principals probably continued
their work on tlio route. For four
months their pay wai reduced by the
result of advertising from § 47,000
per annum to only § 15,000. At the
end of the foutth month they availed
themselves of the old plan. Jackson
was allowed to fail nnd was declared a
failing contractor , because , as was
said , ho failed Dec. 1-1 , 1874 ; but be
fore that time Gilmor and Salisbury
had got in ono and oiio-hulfjjmonth's
service at § 07,000. The department
wont up the list of bidders and could
find no one who would stand by his
bid until 1) . T. Parker was reached-
ed-mis bid had boon § 04,500 , and the
route was handed over to him at that
price , although it had originally boon
let for § 15,000. Parker was
T'lE IIIQIIIiHT OK TUB BIDDKUH
controlled by Salisbury , and his ad
dress was care of Gilmor nnd Salis
bury. Per the last few years the
Parkers have run a combination of
their own. Parker & Salisbury hold
thoroutoat $04,500 until July 1 ,
1878 , the end of the term. Jackson's
pay had been $60,009. Parker's must
have boon at least § 225,000. Then ,
for some reason , the route was not ad
vertised for the term from 1878 to
1882 until three months after the
proper time , so that the now contrac
tors could not begin work until Oct.
1,1878 , instead of July 1 , 1878. This
loft u gap of three nionths , which was
filled by employing Gilmor & Salis
bury for that time at the old pay of
$ (54,500. ( , Wo have now reached tlio
beginning of the current contract

downfall , according to the books , oc
curred March 11 , 1879. Brady yronl
up the list , and it is supposed circu
lars were sent to bidders. They oithoi
declined or refused to reply at1
until Salisbury , the very highest mar
was reached , nn arrangement bj
moans of which Hunt ley and Grittlu
And Parker were induced to keep out ,
is not described on the books. Grif
fith ( Kerns ) was the only ono wh <
'j.
mndo any sort of offer. Ho wrote ho
would take the route at $43,800 if
Brady would give him time for neces
sary preparations , ftnd ho would begin
service aslsoon'as practicable. "Ow
ing to the probable opposition of the
second parties , the contract with the
present Bonrico , " ho added , "may require -
quire moro thnn the ordinary length
of timo. " It is unnecessary to say
Grillith did not got the route. There
was n great gap of $47,000 between
the Barlow nnd the Salisbury bids , and
Brady apparently did not ffiol Hk6
jumping it , nnd accepted Salisbury's
odor. Just then Levi L. Blake came
forward to do the work for § 55,000 ,
nnd it wns accepted. Blake was an
other representative of Salisbury , who
was ono of his bondsmen. Blake's
term began April 1 , 1879 , but it was
very soon discoverodho had once boon
used as Travis nnd Jackson had boon
used , nnd had once been declared
failing bidder or 'contractor. This
disqualified him , nnd Brady gave the
contract to his bondsmen , Monroe ,
Salisbury and J. II. Warren , at the
B.IIIIO price , § 55,000. Salisbury filed
n sub-contract , and at last the route
was secured in his hands again nt n
hign price , for four years more. After
Slaisbury had got n firm hold of the
route nt § 55,000 , there was some
special service pmployod nt the rnto of
§ 95,000 per year.
THlfl LINK
extended from Franklin , on the
boundary between Utah and Idaho ,
nnd directly north of Salt Lake City ,
northward through eastern Idaho to
Holonn in Montana. Its course very
nearly coincided with that of the
Utah Not thorn railroad , which was
then in process of construction north
ward. From Jan. 1 , 1880 , tho.routo
was shortened 191 miles , nnd mails
transferred to the railroad. It is
probable , of course , that they had
boon carried on the railroad for Salis
bury { for some months. Six months
later 30 miles moro wore cut oil' , nnd
on Feb. 15 , 1881 , 45 miles moio , so
that pay from that date was § 19,319 ,
being pro rata. There was a doubt
about Blake's offer to do the work for
§ 55,000. Patrick , of Oregon , had put
in an oiler to do it for § 85,000 nnd
the claim was set up that lllako's
proposal did not como in until after
the expiration of the time not by the
department. Patrick made complaint
through Senator Saundora , but no
charge was made.
The Indian Territory "star sovico"
routes , .saya the correspondent , are

Porter issued tlio following order to
night :
The stnto honors itself that shows
respect "to tlio mdinory of its distin
guished dead. Hunry S. Lane , in n
Borono old ago , after lifo crowned
with public honors , has passed gently
nwny. The eloquent voice is hushed ,
upon whoso accents in other years
listening thousands hung in rapt at
tention. The faithful public servant ,
his work fully done , wns allowed by
the length of his days to see how well
it had boon done , nnd that it wns
crowned with the approval of the poo-
plo.Fow
Few men have led lives the retro
spect of which could have boon to
themselves moro satisfactory. His
whole nature was Inmost. When n
public monsuro involved nny moral
question , every man knew which side
of it he would espouse. His nature
was not loss brave than honest. lie
ipposod himself to every wrong with
firmness , and his opposition was stead-
* ast. His private lifo wns stainless.
: Io hold many olljcos , nnd ho repaid
ho people for their confidence by dil-
; unt and faithful service. Ho was
elected governor of the state in 18GO.
The legislature chosen nt the same
election soon transferred him to n
wider field of labor by electing him n
senator of the United States. To the
memory of a deceased governor the
itato has been accustomed to show
particular marks of honor ; tothomom-
jry of him just departed every tribute
should bo rendered. The state oflicos
trill , therefore , bo draped in mourn
ing for n term of thirty days. On the
lay of the funeral these ollices will bo
closed , and , in commemoration of the
fact of the deceased governor having
once boon n soldier , a military salute
will be tired nt the capital ut the hour
at which his remains shall bo interred.
In testimony whereof I , Albert G.
Porter , governor of the state of Indi
ana , have subscribed my name here
unto , and have caused the seal of the
sUto to bo nfllxcd , this 21st day of

A Qnlot Funarnl lu Parts.
A great man died in Paris n few
wccks ago , Ho is said to have boon
almost Buporiinturally in > ly and won
derfully intellectual , llo violated all
the laws of health so called , and flour
ished to nn ago exceeding eighty
years , His enjoyment and his medi
cine wore incessant hard work. It
wns his habit to go to work immediately -
atoly nfter dinner in order to assist di
gestion. Hois said to Imvo produced
tlu most immense and awful diction
ary that over yet instructed nnd
alarmed mankind. He was BO much
of n philosopher that he tolerated re
ligion , and no was so quiet a person
that ho did not desire his funeral
to bo mi advertisement of his
infidnlity , and n celebration of
other infidels by orations over his
open grave. Ho loved his family ,
and as they were disposed to bo reli
gious , ho thought they might ns well
have all the benefits they could derive
from his acquiescence in the uaual
forms at and after his death. Having
thought as ho pleased , nnd had hie
own way through life , written n lot ol
books nnd BO forth , ho was willing , u
n true philosopher , to die nnd bo
buried to please the priosta nnd the
ladies of his household. Tlio desire
next his hoarl , ns his work was done ,
wns a peaceable death-bed and n quiet
funeral. As ho did not believe in
anything enough to interfere , ho no
doubt closed his oycs for the last time
with sorcno satisfaction. Then the
trouble began.
The eminent man wns M. Littro.
Wo shall see how the philosopher
fared nt his funeral. A Paris letter
written Sunday nighlj Juno 5 , says :
"His body , which had been watched
by two sisters of charity , was taken
down yesterday morning cnrly into
the carriage entrance to the court ,
which had been arranged nsnChnpollo
Ardonto. At 11 o'clock the public
were allowed to outer , and much curi
osity was evinced to see to what extent
the funeral rites of the church would
bo employed over n man who in his
whole lifo nnd writings wai n nonbeliever -
liovor ill theology , There was n cross
at the head of the coflin , on which
flowers were piled up. A multitude of
tapers blazou. The two nun * were on
their knees , but what is extremely
rare in the cliapollo ardent ntngo of the
obsequies , a priest was engaged in re
citing prayers. M. Littro was a Free
Mason. His Masonic brcthcrn of the
lodge to which ho belonged sent a
giant wreath. The blue ribbon tying
it had n darker blue border , nnd wns
covered with signs unintelligible to
nny but initiated Free Masons. This
trophy was berne in by disciples of
the defunct Positivuist , nnd it was so
largo ns to eclipse the crucifix. The
priest looked annoyed , but had the
good sense not to interfere. At a
later period of the funeral the Ma
sonic wreath was accidentally carried
into the church , where the Dead Mass
was celebrated. A group of Free
thinkers insisted on the mutes going
in and fetching it out to them.
Madame and Mile. Littro had intend
ed to walk behind the collin , but , ns
the confusion pf Masonic and Catholic
emblems upon it gave rise to excite
ment , they yielded to advicn , nnd
drove in a mourning coach. "
The undertakers now arrived , nnd
were about to bear the collin to the
hearse , when Dr , Gnlopin , a member
of the municipal council , rushed upon
tlio collin , called upon those handling
it to desist , nnd cnod out :
"Master , thou callcst mo thy son.
I was thy disciple and defender , and
now I come in thO name of Positivied
Philosophy to assert the rights of uni
versal freemasonry. A fraudulent at
tempt has been made to rob thco from
thinking humanity , but the future
will judge justly thy enemies nnd
ours I Muitor , wo shall avenge this
fraud by making our children read thy
books. "
Another version of thisoutciyistho
following.
"Thou didst call mo thy son and
didst love mo. I remain thy disciple
nnd thy defender. I como in the name
of Positive Philosophy to claim the
rights of universal fellowship. We
have been deceived in order to steal
thee from thinking humanity ; but the
future will judge thino enemies and
oura ' Master , wo will avong theo by
making men read thy books ! "
The descriptive letter wo have quot
ed proceeds :
"Tho dead mass was celebrated at
Notre Dame des Champs. M. St. Hi-
laro went into the church. M. Ferry
and M. Ilerold. the prefect of the
Seine , did not. The delegation of
Free Masons , wpnring insignia , re
mained outside the railings. A great
number of monks and nuns were in
the nislo , and the children of the
Catholic orphanage of Autouil , an in
stitution patronized by M. Littro.
"In the cemetery of Montparnasso
the excitement increased. As the re
mains were being taken down to the
vault the holy water , brusli was first
given to M. llonan. He took it and
sprinkled the coflin. There was n
loud of 'Shumo such
cry on cow
ardice. ' "
There were loud cries of "Vivo la
liborto , " "Vivo la Libro-ponseo , " nnd
M. Wyronboff pushed forward nnd
eaid :
" 'The Littro family has wished to
maintain silence over his grave. It
had n right to this , and this right has
boon respected ns much as possible ;
but his other family , his philosophic
family , has also its riglits and its du
ties to accomplish , nnd thisis to speak
a few words about his lifo. ' Those
words were received with strong pro-
tcststhoby-stniiderscrying : 'Enough ,
enough ! llospoct the family I' Sev
eral gentlemen remonstrated with M.
Wyronboff , and n lively altercation
took place nmld a few cries of 'Vivo la
Libre-ponsoo. ' M. Wyronboff , how
ever , in spite of the remarks of the
relations persisted in continuing his
harangue. 'I shall not apeak of phil
osophy , ' said ho , 'but shall only make
a few observations on the great nnd
admirable life of Littro which everyone
ono has n right to admire. Littro
did ns ho lived. ( New interruptions , )
This is what I wanted to say : Sleep
* n peace , great thinker , you will have
10 other tomb than that which you
expected. For you , begins to-day the
greet social , and the only true im
mortality. "
Another correspondent says of the
address over the grave :
"Hero there were enthusiastic
cheers and counter groans mingled
with such exclamations ns 'Down with
the vestment , ' 'Down with holy
water. ' 'Down with body snatchon ) . '
A tumult followed , nnd senators ,
academicians , deputies , nnd savants
got entangled therein. The chief
undertaker reminded the Freethink
ers that the family had ordered
silence to bo kept , lie called for the
police , who did not appear. Proba
bly they had scon their chief , M.
Caubot , who is a Freemason , and
Positivist , staying outside the church.
At length the force camo. The tu
mult exhausted itself , and the speak
er was nble to finish his nddress. He
wanted to prove , by the eighty years'
life of Littro , that a man could bo
just , generous , noble hearted , kind ,
and L'ontlo , without a theological bo-
The correspondent of The London
Times says ; '
"Free thought has , in fact , seldom
offered umore painful spectacle. What
ever may have boon the final convic
tions of the great thinker , he had
boon for many years BO tenderly
nursed by two women who were de
vout almost to fanaticism that certain
ly ho would far rather have scandal
ized Free Moaons nnd free thinkers
than to have grieved those who have
loved him eo dearly , by not receiving
nt the lost hour the consolations of n
religion cherished by them. His wjfo
nnd daughter , of course , preferred
that ho should bo accompanied by
priests nnd prayer to the tomb rather
than have mm cast into the grove
amid Ringing of tlio 'Marseillaise' by
clamorous persons decked with red
immortelles. But this was not the
tastoof those gentlemen.
It is n long time since thoylnst had
the opportunity of escorting BO illus
trious a man to the grave , and they
were loth to let it pass unused. That
is what M , Gnlopin calls 'stealing from
thinking humanity. ' The other per'
son who made a * speech declared that
M. Littro would find nothing beyond
the tomb , thus trying to deprive two
women of their dearest hopes. Men
may declare they believe in nothing ,
and try to show by their example that
they con bo virtuous without belief ,
but when ono sees persons thrusting
themselves in between father and
.daughter and husband and wife , pro
claiming their doctrine while the wife
and daughter are praying , ono is
bound to think it is not love but ha
tred of "humanity. "
It Is pretty evident at least that the
way to have a quiet funernl in Paris
is that n great man shall not bo BO
philosophical , nnd yet as complacent
toward the church of the state as to
got his friends mixed up , Tlio un
seemly contention nnd hostile cries
over the philosopher's grave should
afford that amount of instruction , at
least and might oven admonish pious
relatives that it is safest to let an old
man die as ho has lived. The philo
sophical temperament is indulgent ,
and M , Littro having no prejudice to
speak of , consented , for the sake of
peace and tlio proprieties , to indulge
the church , with the result that his
funeral was disturbed by tlio hoarse
cries of fanatics nnd despairing calls
for the police. Ono if not firm in
faith , should bo pronounced in unbe
lief , and thus cultivate , ono way or
another , a cheerful assurance of har
mony nt the gates of the Unknown.
DIED ON THE TRACK.
Minnie Mnxwoll , n Noted Trotting
Mrvro , Drops Doiul on the Ce
dar Rapida Rnco Track-
From the Diirhiijuc Times , ICth.
In the 2:29 : race nt Cedar Rapida ,
Thursday , accident occurred that
speaks volumes against the improper
practice of overstraining trotting horses
ses on the turf. In the scoring for the
first heat Minnie Mnxwall , a valuable
and fnvoriio trotter , by her spirited
action captured the entire audience ,
and at once became n general favorite.
She was a little mare , neat as n pin ,
in good condition , and with a short ,
eager , liglitiiing-liko motion. Her
high spirit disdained the bit , and in
the scoring she would carry her dri
ver almost half around the track before -
fore ho could check her The scoring
was exaspcratingly tedious. The
scored again and alaiii. ; After scor
ing nine times the judges warned the
drivers that they must score with the
polo horse or pay a line of five dollars.
After ono or two moro scores they trot
away , Minnie Maxwell polo. She had
that place with two or three lengths
between her and the foremost of the
others throughout the first half mile ,
Lucy second and Fleta third.
At the end of the third quarter Little
Sioux shot ahead and passed them nil ,
vrliilo at . .tlio same moment Minnln
Maxwell 'slowed ' up , suddenly wavered ,
throw herself up , and almost stopped ;
but in a second she rallied to her
work and strained every dying nerve
to regain her place. She almost suc
ceeded , but it was too much ; four
rods from the judges standsho stopped ,
ilung up her head and tail , staggered
a moment , then dropped on the track
stone dead ! Before she dropped
several men nnd the driver sprang to
her side. Thos. Groy , an Omaha ,
driver , was the first to reach her , and
in falling she struck nnd knocked him
down , falling on his log , but ho was
not seriously hurt. Water wns in-
stnntly dashed upon her , and she was
lanced , but she never bled n drop nor
breathed nftor she fell. She was removed -
moved from the track , and a post
mortem examination , by Dr. Hilncs ,
showed one lung wholly congested ,
caused by over exertion ; but there
must have boon congestion of the
brain also , ns this would not hnvo
caused immediate death. She was
cloven years old , valued at § 3000 ,
and owned by Colby & Bro. , Fort
Dodge , Iowa. The mare which wont
with her died on the track in this city
in the same way last Juno , Minnie
did not lose a race last year nor ono so
far this year.
