MAiUmL JTAYTTAT V.VIIWXT.R A Nemesis Which Has Pursued Its Thou sands to Prison and the Gallows. Krom the Records of VVUcoriHln Narrow KHCI\IIO of an Innocent Alan. The criminal who argues that ho is nufo because no ono saw him commit the c-rimo , forgets that circumstantial ovl- donco is a Nemesis which lias pursued its thousands to tlio prison and the gallows. Had the 1'ieller case in St. Louis been one in which men could testify that they H.uv the killing donetho sensation would have died out in a weok. It depended upon circumstantial evidence alone , and us link after link has been picked up to make a complete chain the whole coun try him been intoroatud. The records of crime in every hlate show that where cir- utimstanlial evcdenco is soloy depended on , a terribly strong case can bo made ngain.st an entirely innocent man. That this has been done time after time we all know , though in the great majority of cahcri the real criminal gets his just de serts. Some forty years ' ago there lived in "Wisconsin a farmer named Throop , who was a widower , with a daughter fifteen veiirs old. The man had a good reputa tion , and his daughter was a great luyor- ito in tlio neighborhood. For some time previous to the occurrence which caused his arrest , Throop had not been on good terms with a farmer named McWilliams , living about a milo away , on account of chuuiuio committed by cattle belonging to the latter. There had been a lawsuit , and Throop had said , in tlio presence of witnesses that be woulu like to put a bul let into McWilliams. Ono day about noon the catllo broke into the field again mid the daughter notified her father , ilo was terribly enraged , and , as ho started to drive them out , took his rille along. 'The back end of the Hold bordered on n wood , and tlio daughter saw her father ilisaiipcar among the trees after tlio run ning cattlo. Soon thereafter she hoard i shot , and was alarmed for fear that her father had carried out his tiireat. In about half an hour Throop came homo , pale and agitated , put no his gun , and sat down to his dinner without a word. The feirl was crying , but ho didn't Boom to notice it. After the meal was eaten he hitched up a horse to the buggy and drove away , saying that ho might not bo back before sundown. Ho re turned at 7 o'clock , and the daughter no ticed that ho was in much bettor humor. Neither referred to tlio affair of the cattle tlo , and the evening passed oft"pleasantly. . Two days later , Throop meanwhile pur suing his labors around homo , the sheriff appeared and arrested him. The farmer wa.xat supper whoa the ofllcei ; entered , and it was afterward put in evidence that Throop turned deadly pale before the errand of the oilicer was made known. When told to consider himself a prisoner ho asked what was the charge , and the sheriff replied : "For tlio murder of Henry McWilliams. Ills body was found in the woods this afternoon. " Throop was terribly agitated , but he protested his Innocouqo , saying ho hud not seen the man for a weekAs ho was taken awnv ho whispered to his child , who was clinging to him : "Say nothing of my chasing the cattle out. " Tliis was overheard , by the sheriff , ami at tlio proper time was used , to tlio pri soner's confusion. The daughter was convinced of her father's guilt from the llrst. The blundering sheriff did not take away the rillo , ami ho had no sooner departed than the girl inspected it , to find that it had been recently discharged , in hopes to exculpate her father , she set about and cleaned and loaded the gun. In the course of a few hours she was pit under restraint and Interrogated. lo $ Having that anything she could say in regard to tlio allair would react on her father , she determined on silence , and not ono word could bo got out of her as to the events of the past three duy.s. Throop vigorously denied tlio kifling but was obstinately silent to all other questions. The prosecution then began to work up its case of circumstan tial evidence , and was fortunate train the start. A person came forward who saw Throop leave his house , gun in hand , to chase the cattle. Two persons nllirnied that they heard the report of a rillo. Several people had hoant Throop make threats. The cleaning of the rillo was charged to Throop , and made to look ugly against him. Tlio silence of him self and daughter was proof sulHcicnt to most people that ho wasguiltyof murder. Court was in session and the accused was speedily brought to trial. To his lawyer ho divulgcdtho episode of pur suing the cattle , and ho admitted' firing at a heifer and missing her. The shot went over her and entered a beech tree. Ho gave his solemn word that he did not see McWilliams that dav. When ho left the honso alter dinner it was with the in tention of going to tlio town several miles away to consult a lawyer in regard to a new suit. Ho did not lind the lawyer in his ollico , and on iiis way home lie got to thinking tlio matter over , and made up his mind ho had boon too hasty all along. Ho even had some thought of going to his neighbor ami holding out the lian I of reconciliation , but ho was restrained by the lateness of tlio hour. This feeling accounted for hjs changed conduct whoa I HI came homo. The awyor wont to the woods and found the beech tree , and dug out the bullet. Ho also found that the lawyer whom Throop went to see was out at the hour specified. It was strange , however , that while scores of men in tlio town know Throop , no ono could bo found who remembered having seen him on that occasion. Mr.s. McWilliams affirmed that her hus band had left the house with his rillo to hunt squirrels in the woods , and she had never scon him alive again. lie had boon shot through the head. What had become of his rillo ? Tlio prosecution intended to charge Tliroop with hiding it. The de fense had no theory about it. though they might ask why the body had not been hidden as well. Any theory of suicide was out of the question in the face of cir cumstances. The case was called with a strong prejudice - udico against tlio prisoner. The prosecu tion put in all its evidence , circumstan tial and otherwise , and itseomed to everyone ono a clear caso. lloforo the defence opened an event occurred which had a most important bearing. A stranger was arrested in a town twenty miles away while trying to dispose ot a rillo with McWilliams' name engraved on a silver plato iu the stock. Ho was brought to the county seat at once , and whoa the right pressure was brought to bear on him ho made a confession. Ho was a traveling clock tinker. Ilo had been drunk two or three days bufore the shooting , and lii.s outfit had been lost or stolen. Early on the mornins ; of the shooting ho stele a couple of lions from Throop , and wont into the woods and made a lire and roasted them for his breakfast. Ho was asleep when McWilliams stumbled upon him. Evi dences were at hand that ho was a thief , and the farmer ordered him to pick up and Icavo. McWilliams threatened him with hisjgun and ho closed in to wrest it away. In the struggle tlio weapon was discharged and tlio farmer was killed. At the same instant another shot was fired , but the tinker did not sco Throop. Ho at first throw down the gun and ran away , but afterward returned for the gun , thinking to sell it and proquru another - ether outfit. . . There could bo no doubt of tfio truth I of the tinker's story , and Throop was dis charged from custody and the other party put on trial. Ilo pleaded guilty , but judge and jury accepted his version of the snooting ami ho received a eo m paratively short sentence. Hut for his- action in carrying away tlio gun ho would probably have been set at liberty. Kures Koughs Komnletely Red Star Cough Cure. They never come back. AVIuit Fnlso Hair Costs.

Chicago Times : Twenty-ono years ago thirty of the freight cars owned by tlio Union Transportation & Insurance com pany were rebuilt under the direr-lion of W. W. Chandler , then and afterward ttio Chicago agent oi the company named May 111 , 1805 , one of tliOMj ears , carrying ten tons of butter , started from this city for New York. That was the very begin ning of the refrigerator-car system , and of a business that lias grown to enormous and rapidly increasing proportions. In those days there was almost no dairy business "west of Michigan and Indiana. People said that good butter could not bo made of milk from the prairie grasses. No doubt the eating of weeds ami 511- llavored grasses by the cows did much to prevent success in the dairv , but the drinking of impure water and breathing the font air of filthy stables did more ; and tlio entire want of means by which butter could be carried in good condition over long distances quickly did most to discourage the butter-makers of the west. Mr. Chandler argued that , with proper facilities for marketing , the quantity of butler produced would increase year by year , and it was probably to that convic tion that the refrigerator car system owes its existence. The experiment of Ibpj was so satisfactory in its results that in 18SI1 the number of "ico-houses on wheels" was increased to oighty-oiijht by the company , which for ten years enjoyed a monopoly of the business of carrying butter , eggs anil some other perishable property from the west to tlio Atlantic status. t _ One hot day , cnie of the first thirty cars fitted for tins trallio was \'isited by two Chicago packers ! They stood an instant in their shirt-sleeves , perspiring , on the platform of the freight hoiido while the doors of the car wore opened , then stopped into the car. The metal walls wore covered by frost two inches deep. Ono moment in that low temperature was convincing enough , and as they hurried out ono of , the visitors remarked : "I don't sco any reason why incuts can't bo sent to New Yoik in such cars as well as butter , if the temperature can bo kept as low as this. " He was assured that as long as ice and salt could bo obtained the car could bo kept cold enough inside to freeze any thing placed in it. A few days later a larger party of packers inspected , tlio cars , and the idea of summer packing was born. Before that time all packing operations had been crowded into a few winter months , to the necessary incon venience and cost of all concerned. Now millions of hogs are packed during the warm months of each year , ia Chicago alone , and thousands of tons of fresh beef , mutton and pork are sent from the great live stock centers to every impor tant town in the states east of the Mis sissippi and to Europe. Twenty years ago onl3p thrco railroads connected Chicago cage and Now York. Now each of eight great lines1 offer incomparably better facilities than those three then had for transporting freight swifty , cheaply and uninjured. During the vcar ended with December lust nearly 8(5,000,000 ( pounds of butter went from Chicago to the east in refrigerator cars. Much of this vast quantity went to butter the bread of Eu rope. An average of fully eighty car loads of dressed beef for each working day of 1835 loft Chicago and Hammond , a suburb of Chicago , for the cast. All tills , was safely preserved by refrigera tion , not only on the way to the seaboard , but also much of it on the voyage across the ocean as well. As illustraVuiir the growth of tlio dressed buof traffic of Chicago , it may be stated that in 1831 there were shipped from Chicago and from Hammond a total of 498,000,000 pounds ; in 1835 Chi- caffo shipped 405,500,000 pounds and Hammond 110,500,000 pounds , making an aggregate of 570,000,000 pounds of beef , or 28,280 car-loads of ten tous each. That number of cars would make a train 180 miles in length , each two rods represent ing thirty-two cattlo. These facts indi cate a somewhat , simple fulfillment of the prophesy uttered twenty years ago by the pioneer maker of refrigerator cars , who then declared thaflrosn beef will yet betaken taken to Now York at all seasons , safely , regularly and in considerable quantities. " To what grand magnitude theio branches of business will grow in the next ten or twenty years no man living can safely foresee , nor can anyone tell what inli- mnlo connections with the domestic economy ot the people that growth may have. Even now the farmers living near towns remote from Chicago , St. Louis or Kansas City may cat to-day of a steak , a roast or a tenderloin fresh Irom the very bullocks that a few clays ago wore fatten ing on corn at the crib clo.so by the farm house , and were sent a thousand miles , it may be , to bo slaughtered and separated , part to be eaten in European homes and part to bo consumed in hotels , restaurants and private houses widely scattered throughout the states. Already a num ber of slaughter houses have been estab lished in the very midst of the pastures of the plains , each "of tlio houses having its chill-rooms' and its side-tracks where - - , re frigerator cars will await their cargoes of beef grown on the gras round about. It is even confidently predicted that the day is near when men will no more think of shipping cattle long distances alive than they would now think of shipping sash , doors and blinds in the form of the pine logs in which those things were originally. Nothing more painful than a sprained ankle , which can be cured by St. Jacobs Oil. _ _ _ _ _ The Singular Story of Silent .Toe. In the year 1807 a young man named diaries Miller left Hartford , Conn. , for the west. At Buffalo ho foil in with a man calling himself Henry D.xvison , and tlio two traveled to Chicago together. Miller had about $300 in cash with him , while DavKon had only a few shillings loft when they reached Chicago. Thelormor intended going to Colorado , while tlio latter , who said he was a butcher , de cided to remain in Chicago and work at his trade for a timo. They took quarters together in a cheap hotel , and , to further reduce expenses , they occupied ono bed. On the night before Miller was to Icavo for tlio far west , and as they were about ready to go to bed , ho took out and counted his money. Ho had $2)0.50 ! ) , and , knowing that his companion had but a dollar or two , he handed him a $10 bill. "I won't take it from you except as a loan , " said Davison. "That's al right , " replied Miller. "I shsll write you , and whenever you can spare it you may send it along. " "But you don't know me ; wo have boon together only a few days. " " 1 can toll a square man on sight. Put this in your wallet. " While Miller was rolling up his money Davison got up and passed behind him. All of a sudden Miller lost consciousness' . In the summer of 1809 the writer was ono of the inhabitants of a mining camp on the Purgatory river in southern Cole rado. One day a tenderfoot reached our camp. Ilo was a veritable scarecrow in general aopoaranco. Ho hadn't a shilling in money nor an ounce of outfit , and when wo came to question him it was discovered that ho was only "half baked. " Ho gave his name as .foe , but ho hud nothing else to toll. When asked what his other name was , where ho came from , how ho reached us , etc. , he looked from face to face in a vacant way and shook Iiis head. Wo wore not the kind of men to turn a nhap like that 10930 to be scalped by the Indians or to perish of starvation. Wo made him wash up , put on the gar ments wo contributed , ami after lie had got a square meal ho looked and acted like a duVoi'ont man. One of my two tout mates was an old surgeon from Ohio , and , as we had roomy quarters , he suggested that we take Joa in. The suggestion was adopted , and he was installed as cook and laundryman. Ilo was a very willing hand , and when his work at the house was linished ho stood ready to help us at the mine. So far as speech went , we got no more out of him niter a month than on the first day. Ilo called every meal Mippcr. He called every article of wash a shirt. Every day iu the week \yis : Wednesday to him. I could say to him. "Here , .loo , fetch a pail of water , " and ho would take the pail and hurry away , but if I said , "Now , , Joo. what state do you hail from ? " ho would stand and stare at me with open mouth. The miners played many a joke on him , and some of tlii'in pretty rough ones , but nobody ever saw him get angry. When wo found that ho would not answer questions put to him verbally , we tried him in writimr. If , for instance , wo wrote the query , "Whore do you live ? " he would take tlio ueneil , as if about to reply , but before ho could make a mark the idea would slip away from him , and ho would sadly shako his head and turn away. One day , when ho had boon with us about six weeks , 1 entered the tent and saw the surgeon cutting Joe's hair , which was very long and nnkonipl. "Say , I'm right about this fellow , " an nounced the surgeon , "How ? " "Why , I've had an idea for a month past that lie lost his memory through an injury to his head. Here's the trouble. Ho has received a blow right here , and a portion of the skull is pressing on the brain I'll warrant ho was us quick witted as anybody before this hurt. " "How long ago was it inflicted ? " "A your or more. An operation by a skillful surgeon would restore him to his right mind , " While that might bo so , the chances for it wore extremely dubious. Wo wore charitable as far as our means would allow , but wo wore all poor. When Joe had been with us about two months a minor was ono night robbed of his' little hoard , then a second was robbed of his provisions ; a third had Iiis revolver stolen ; and men came to us and declared their belief that our Joe was the guilty person. Wo could not believe tins , bpt agreed to watch him. For several nights wo took turns at spying , but , while ho did not Jeavo the cabin , another theft was committed. For a month wo wore com pletely upset by the mysterious doings around us. On two occasions some one prowling around at night was iirod on , but ho got safely away. In spite of all wo could say , the suspicion kept growing that our Joe was the guilty party. Wo lot men into the cabin to gee that he did not leave his bed , but it so happened that on those particular nights no deviltry was committed. It was suggested that lie bo driven out of the camp , and when wo refused to countenance any such step two thirds of the camp hold aloof from us , and reports wore circulated to our detriment. Ono morning a minor , who was sup posed to bo the richest man in the camp , was found weltering in hiri blood. Ho had discovered a man in his tent the night before , and had boldly clutched him In the struggle he had been stabbed iu throe places , and was severely though not mor tally wounded. The surgeon was called to aross iiis hurls , and in his presence and that of a do/en others tlio wounded man declared that he had reoogni/.ed his would-be assassin as our Joo. All of us hud slept soundly that night , and while we believed in Joe's innocence , wo could not be positive that ho had not left the cabin. The minors knocked off work and went growling around , and about 10 o'clock in the torenoon a rush was made for our cabin. They had determined to hang Joo. The three of us got out our revolvers to defend him , and the angry mob was hold at bay on the slope for a few minutes. Wo had placed Joe inside , and had noticed that ho did not seem a bit alarmed. While wo were holding the- mob and parleying , Joe climbed out of a window on the other side and was run ning away when they caught sight of him. Such notion Boomed conclusive of Iiis guill , and pursuit was instantly mnda and a hot fire opened. Joe ran straight for a cliff about thirty feet high , andus he icached the brink ho threw up Ids arms and went over Wi picked him no oil' the rocks sromingly dead , and the re venge of the crowd was satisfied. An hour later , when the surgeon announced that Joe still lived , there wassomogrowl- ing , but no one interfered with us as wo bore the bruised and broken body to out ? cabin. It seemed to me that he was com pletely smashed , although he had no largo nones broken. On the third dny after the accident Joe opened his eyes , and we saw that he was conscious. Twenty-four hours later ho I asked the surgeon where ho was , what had occurred , and why Davison was not there. Then wo all know that our Joe had got Ids right mind back It was a week before wo questioned him. Then we learned all 1 told you at the outset. The last thing lioroiuemboivd was count ing that money in Chicago. For two ' years he hud been like a man in his sloop , i \Vhon the camp got hold of nil the par ticulars ovei'ibody was Miller's iriond , and particularly so as the real thief was i finally discovered and punished Miller remained with us until sin-lug , and then i set out for the mines on tlu > upper Arkanj j sas with some of our boys. In a camp not twenty miles from u.s hi > saw and identified Davison , who had been there for a year , The minors would have lynched llu > fellow , but ho out slicks too rapidly , and a week later his ( load body ' wa.s found in a gulch two or lliree mile's auay , where the Indians had tumbled it after securing his scalp. The Floxvcr .Muila. : Maude , in Chicago News. There is a pertect mania for llowcr wearing now , and a very charming mama it is , too. Every othe'r girl you see on the street , al beit she in laden with care and parcels , has a big bunch of jacqueminot roses on the front of her bodice. You must by no means call those pets jacqueminots , thoughj as I have written them You must simply say jacks. That's the cor rect thm It argues a kind of familiar ity with them , as it were.

Those monstrosities are forever dead. Now a cute little basket arrives.

They lookiind lasto like .something heavenly , and if a box should be sent you bo sure and don't say any thing about fools and their money. 'I had a melancholy oxpcrionca with those rare conserves before 1 know what they wore. I received a box of confectionery , ami on top was a layer of pink rose leaves , made , as I imagined iu my gross ignorance , of gla/ed paper , 1 thought they made a very pretty top dressing , as it were , but I swept thorn into the waste basket along with the string with which the box was tied. On meeting my friend next day , 1 thanked him or the box , and ho asked mo how I IIkeil the conserved rose loaves. A ter rible suspicion crossed my mind. I struggled for HoU-possession and said they were beautiful , but I hadn't yet tasted thorn , I got away from him as soon as 1 r.ould , ran homo , and flow up stairs to the waste basket.
