needed to aid it in establishing the fact
that the city was planted to keep and th.it

TIIK ItATB QUESTION.
The much-talked about ilemands for i
Missouri river rate for Lincoln neem.s a
the present time to bo wholly uncnrc <
for , and the demand is. without force am.
ellect. Since the return of the delegation
of Lincoln shippers wliowunt&outlitotlm
Kansas City mcctincandalsoto St. Louis
to confer with Manager iloxie , there has
bci-n no public meeting and no public re
port eitner to state progress or to state a
hope that their mission was not entirely
fruitless. Thu board of trade , that has
had a soml-ollicial oversight over the ac
tion of the citizens , has not hud a meet
ing in two months , and in so far as being
tin auxiliary of assistance , it would seem
that the Lincoln board ot trade is so dead
that it gives to thu question of Missouri
river rates , as well as other public enter
prises. a smell ot grave clothes. "Now
that election is past , " said ono of Lin
coln's enterprising citizens , "I am ono
that hopes tlio business men may wake up
iprain and hold at least nnotliur .session
of the hoard of trade the present year.
und that the committee of shippers will
make a report. "
JILKCTION DAY
in Lincoln dawned cool enough to make
Dver-coats handy garments in the morn
ing , but by the noon hour the sun was
Binning brightly and people wore on the
streets in no small numbers. The car
riages for voters were Hying about the
btreets all day and two bands , ono for
the republicans and the other for the pro
hibitionists , went from 'vard to ward en
couraging the poll workers with their
music ' 1 ho sudden and surprising with
drawal of Joseph Hums from the work-
ingmcn's ticket , which appeared in the
morning pnpor , created a breeze of ex
citement but instead of his Hop carrying
voles to Howe , as the parties who had
his withdrawal in their hands oxocctcd ,
rather solidified tlio workingmen for Me-
Slmno. Tlio ojirriaKCS at work in the
city wore placarded in different ways ,
some of the democratic- vehicles an-
nounning that , "McShane for congress
would watch Lincoln interests without
monev aud without price. " This was
very suggestive , to say the least. An
other noticeable feature wos.that the pla
card announcing Howe ns Lincoln's best
friend was conspicuous for its absence.
Ono or two little melees at the polls , re
sulting in no serious injury to anyone ,
were all the disturbances that occurred
through the day.

ElYRON AND BULWEB.
Their Domentlo Dinicnllles and At
tempts at. Atbttrntlon ,
In his "Homlniscencei" just published ,
Sir Francis Doyle says that on two occa
sions his father "had to tuko upon him-
f-elf the dilllctiltand disagreeable task of
niliitrntlii" between a husband and wife ,
and that after a reconciliation had be
come possible. The husbands in both
cases \vuro eminent men , though not
TUite. | of equal eminence. Lndy Byron ,
an old family triend of ours , when driven
to desperation , applied to my father to
act on her bchalt.
This hu did , lint as lie felt bound in
honor to diselose nothing , the greedy
curiosity of the public must not expect
any food from nio ( who know no more
than they do. I can only tell them that
my father never repented of wliat ho had
done. The ono point I ran speak of
which appears to me worth nothing is
this : Heru were three men my fatncr ,
Dr. Lushmtod and Sir Robert Wllniot
Morton , a cousin and early friend of
Lord Byron's. They wore all three
men of great ability ; they weru
all three thorough men of the world ,
they we.re all three men who had worked
out their lives on perfectly difienint lines.
My father had been tossed about the
world from the time that he found him
self a captain at eleven ; Lushiiigton
was a distinguished Oxford man amlfe ! *
low of a college , who became a hlchly
successful advocate ; Sir Robert Ilorton ,
the cousin , a country squire of good po
sition , afterwards an able civil hcrvutit
: iud professional politician. And vet
these three men , so dillerent in their
characters and antecedents , were com
pletely in unison , and held that Lady
liyron had no choice except to separate
herself from her husband 1 They wore , I
.said , all men of the world. In other
words , If Lady Byron's anger had been
roused on discovering that Lord Byron
was not an irreproachable husband , they
would , I am sure , have told her in
very plain language : "As you
cho'so with your eyes open to
marry n man of wayward genius ,
who is at the same time the spoilt child
o society , you can not expect him to bu
ll ave exactly like a. model archdeacon ;
you must accept the consequences of
your own rashness , aud try to touch the
higher and boiler parts ot his nature by
gentleness and puiscvering affection. "
As they did not taku thi.i course , 1 must
leave to Lord Byron's partisans to settle
for themselves how it came to pass that
since these three gentlemen , being the
men they were , if Lord Byron's conduct
was pardonable at all , never suggested
to his wife that she should pardon him. "
Again , many years afterward , ho at
tempted to mediate between Lord and
Lady Lytton ( bho was a cousin of ours ) ,
but in vain.
"Her temper was in such a slate of in
flammation that she would listen to no
moderate counsels , and my father had to
sit still under her furious invectives
whilst dying of heart disease. 1 have
always thought that by her implacable
eirotism she shortened his life. Loiif.1
after his death 1 put my resentment or
one side and tried to help her , but slui
soon became intractable. Lord Lytton
who alway behaved withperfectcourtesy
both to my father and m.ysclt , offered to
increase her allowance on certain con
ditions. I thought them reasonable
enough , but tlio very mention of the woril
"conditions" drove her wild with rage ,
and a storm of abuse fell on my devoted
head. Our intorcoursu ended with a let
ter addressed to mo with a hostile direc
tion. The inside of the letter matched the
outside , and 1 never saw or communi
on ttnl with her again. "

Chicago Herald : "It was very funny. "
said an i-nployo of the Chicago , Burlington -
ton & Quincy , "to watch the people gaz
ing at our fast mail train when it was
iirst put on. It seems that the people
Hoard so much about the fast mail aud
its snood that they could not bo satisfied
until they had been it going at tull speed.
There was a story around that the train
went so fast that nothing could bo scon
of it out in the country but a streak.
Farmers-used to got up nt II o'clock in
the morning and walk two or three miles
to see the fast mail go by. Wo used lo
pass scores-of 'em sitting on the fence
ana waving their hats like lunatics. What
struck me as being very fuuny , too , was
that a good many people m Aurora , a
railroad town , would got up at 3 o'clock
in the morning and drive live or sjjcnjilos
wcst.to BCO this train go by. This , is a
fact. The fast mail slops at Aurora and
changes engines , and so there was no
opportunity there to see it Hying. For n
month or two after the train was put on
there was > a regular fad among the young
peonlo of the town to got up uarties to
drive out to see the fust mail. Fast mail
parties were all the rage. As iv matter
of fact , though , the fast mail doesn't
develop such extraordinary speed. It
frequently runs n mile n minute for sis or
eight miles , but that is no more than i
regular passenger trains sometimes do >
when behind schedule. "

About two days before the second
quarter's premium became due on ( hero
policies Dwight died under somewhat
strange clrciimstnnces. The defendants
claimed that ho committed suicide by
hanging. A coroner's inquest and two
autopsies were made one of the latter
after an interval of several mouths but
the actual cause 01 it.'ath was never di1' '
tcrmint'd. It is also claimed by the do
iondant company that Dwight'd bequests
inlluenced the people of the community
and the ollieinlsin _ favor of cnforcinc tlie
payment of the insurance
A lUNKKtn-
At the limp the policies were issued
Wyiton Dwight , the insured , as was
shown at thu trial , was absolutely * penni
less , and was , moreover , going through
bankruptcy proceedings , with liabilities
at if 150,000. In round ligures the yoarlj
premiums on the policies he obtained
amounted to nearly ? 0,000 , but the pre
miums were to bo paid quarterly. Dwight
paid the first quarter's premium amount
ing to $2,107.i0 ! , and received the policies.
According to the theory of the insurance
companies who contested the claims the
insurer's intention , by having the pre
miums payable quarterly , was to secure
the largest amount of money for the
bonelil of his family at the .smallest
possible cost , the companies setting : up
the iillogation that "the obtaining of the
insurance policies was in pursuance and
execution of u scheme to defraud Iho de
fendant and other insurance companies. "
It W.H3 shown at the trial that Dwight
borrowed the money to pay the first
quarter's ' premiums. Meanwhile , the
proceedings in bankruptcy were proceed
ing. The assignee reported there were
no assets anil on the Cth of November in
the same year thu courtordered Dwight's
discharge and ho was thus freed from
debt. On the 10th of November the
second quarter's premiums on the in
surance policies began to full duo and ho
had not ivpenny with which to pay them.
Prior to this , however , and before his
discharge in bankruptcy ho had , in Sep
tember , executed nn instrument which
purporlod to be his "last will and testa ,
mont. "
DWKiHT'S WILL.
It was a most remarkable document ,
and according to the theory of the defend
ants disclosed the scliemu to defraud
them. In that will ho provided for the
payment of a few debts , aggregating less
than $10 ; stated that since Ida failure' his
income had averaged $10,000 for the past
twclvo months , whereas , in reality , it
amounted to nothing ; and Ihon , as the
defendants alleged , prepared for the
Icjrul contest which ho know must arise
1 in the event of any attempt to collect the
policies by providing in n.liberul way for
the bench and bar of Broome county and
seeking to interest all classes of the com
munity in his favor by making various
bequests. Thus he provided for nn an
nual 'linnet- for every poor family in
Binghamton , and for Sunday school
books for churches , etc. He also made
bequests to the press and lire department
of Binghaniton. Those various hoquoMs
would have required about $711,000 , to
satisfy them , but Dwight nr-
ranged in ono clause of thu
will that in case the whole amount of
the insurance covered by the policies
should not bo collector ! , each and every
one of those bequest * should bo scaled
down accordingly. Ho Ihon bequeathed
$75,000 of insurance to his son and the
remainder to his wife. The defendants
claimed that the will exposed the fraud
because , ah tliny showed on the trial , the
insured had not the money to pay the
large premiums on the policies taken out ,
and thai horccogniml thu dilllculty that
would arise therefrom in a contest , and
that he sought io overcome it by declar
ing in hla will thnt ho had made an in
come of $ 10,000 a year after his failure
and bankruptcy. Thu defendants showed
at the trial that he had done nothing of
the kind ; that he wa.s a financial wreck ,
unnblu to pay debts of ? 1 and $3 each ;
that his board bills were paid by his
brother ; and they claimed that the vtholu
all'alr was a gignntio hcheino to defraud
the Insurance companies.
TIIK AI.LEOKU SUICIDK
Dwight , however , did not obtain tlio
policies without considerable trouble.
There wag n suspicion that all was not
right , and hu was not suceeshful In nil
cagcri. These companies who did issue
the policies learned afterwards the char
acter of the insurer and endeavored to
cancel them Some of them tendered
the premiums that had been paid , but
Dwight refused to surrender the policies.
Thu companies kept H watch on him ,
however , und were fully prepared for his
death. lie had been ailing. , apparently
for a few dav.s. anil on Friday night , No.
vcmber 15 , 1878 , he died. But- one pur-
son ( iioi a relative ) was with him at the
time. There wiu an jnqui-st und an au
topsy , tit which auroral doctors were
uroseut. It wnsolairund tliathebtrangled
himself ; Uieve was : v mark as from a rope
'round his neck , but tucTordict was death
from natural cause * . The proof of suicide
was wanting. Some months afterward
the body was exhumed , and another au
topsy made in the presence of lifteen
doctors , at which the , suicide theory , It is
claimed , was fully established. The will ,
however , the contc.sjantsclnim.provented
full and proper cited being given to the
result of that autopsy , and on the trial
the medical testimony was conflicting.
There the matter rested for some time
and no attempt was made to enforce the
payment of thu policies. The Equitjiblo
Insurance company , however , on the
theory' thnt , If it had been caughtnap -
plnir/it was better lo pay for the error
and be done with it , paid up tlio loss.
One or two other companies followed
suit , some of them compromising for
less than the face vnluo of the policie" ,
but the ( icrmiinla Insurance company
and ono or two others resolved to contest
the payment.
TIIK LONO SUIT.
The executors under the will delayed
action to compel the payment of the in-
surunco money. Suit was Hnall.v begun
against the ( Jurnninia lo recover the sum
ot f 15,000 , the amount insured by them.
The action was begun in Brooinu county ,
but transferred to the adjoining coun y
of Cheiiango on the ground that nu im
partial trial could not bo had in Broomo ,
the court declining to scud it out of thu

A ROMANCE IN THE FLOUR

'There goca a young man who has a
romance , " remarked u well-known citi-
/.en of St. Paul to a reporter for the
Globe , us he looked through the \\itidow
as a young man of perhaps twenty-live
passed UP Kirat avenue , a remarkably
handsome lady leaning upon his arm.
"Tell you about ity Cenlaiiil.y only I
won't give you Ihe names of the parlies ,
for if I do you would print it and nearly
every ono in the city would recognize
in tlio couple two well-known Minneapo
lis people.
"Somo years ugo the young man
worked in'ono of thu big mills and was
looked upon us a good man in Ins POM-
lion. Olio day a party ot ladies visited
the mill , among them the lady you saw
him with. White looking at the dilleront
things around thu m 11 , this ludy drop
ped from tier lingurMiito a lot of wheat
which was being slored a valuable diamond
mend rin < winch hud been preicnled lo
her by her mother , who had died some
years before. ,
"Of course , the young lady was nearly
heart broken , and relumed to bu com
forted by her friends. 'I hi- , young man ,
who was btanding near when she dropped
Ihu ring , suw the \\liole thing , and made
up his mind lo recover the ring , iliat
evening , as soon us his work was done ,
he went to the bin in which thu wheat
hud been stored , and there accompanied
by a friend , silted all the wheat und
placed it in bags. It was nearly morn
ing when he found the ring. The wheat
was then emptied buck into the bin and
Iho young man went home. When ho
wont to work again ho went to the head
miller , and succeeded in being released
for the day. His next move was to dress
himself in his best suit and return tlio
ring to the owner.
"To her ho related how he recovered
it , and by his pleasing manners so cap
tivated her that she invited him lo call.
This lie did , and the friendship thus be
gun soon ripened into something
stronger. The young lady's ' father took
a great liking to the young man and gave
his consent to a marriage arranged be
tween him and his daughter. When the
marriage took place the young man left
the mill , and was started in business by
his wife's father. Ho is now worth
about $100,000 , and can lay his good for

and will produce surprises m more than
one quarter.
Mrs. Louise Chandler Monltou , the
pootes ? , spent some time in Pans recent
ly , beloro sailing for America , devoting
her days ultnostcxclusivclytotho famous
dressmakers and milliners of the French
capital. Wo arc told that Boston will lui
dazzled this winter by some of Mrs.
Moultoti's purchases.
Mr. Henry M. Stanley will sail on No
vember 10 for his lecture tour in the
United States. Ho took a deep interest
In the Congo railway scheme , but the impossibility -
possibility of reconciling Iho charter
wanted by tlio English syndicate with
tlie duties of the new Congo government
mid other powers has caused the pre
liminary negotiations to tall to the
ground.
Among the recent European contribu
tions lo the Parker tomb fund , which is
to be employed in improving the grave
of Theodore Parkoi\ who is burled in
I'lorencti. are M. Godin. the ( Suiso Ktini-
il lore. Aiiss Jane Cobden , daughter of
the great freu trader , Bjotistjerno Iljorn *
son , the Norwegian pool , and Mr. Irud-
rik Bajer , thn Duuish deputy and re
former.
Mr. II. L. Briukstad , whose sketch of
Bjornson's homo llfu appeared in Ihu Oc
tober nutnbur of the Century , is an able
Norwegian republican residing in Lon
don , and a trequent contributor to the
Pull Mall Ga/Hte ( , and other advanced
English papers , on Scandinavian sub
jects. He says that republicanism must
soon triumph in Norway and hilur in
Sweden. Mr. Briekslud , who has been
Iruvelliig in Uiu latter country has just
lulurned to Kngluml.
Thooiloro Tilton is still living in Paris ,
which he left this summer only for a few
weeks in order to enjoy the sun at Trou-
ville. He now divides his time between
inditing poetry in Ins study , playing
chess at the Chafe do In Kegeucu , and
taking exercise at his carpenter bunch ,
which he lias set up recently in one of
the rooms of hi.s cosy houn5 buck of Notre -
tro D.unc. Mr. Tilton points with pride
to some neat bookshelves that hu has
jiiht finished.
Spanish Interest * are now centered in
Paris. Kuiz Xorilln and Emilio Custelur
are both nt the French capital. Thourch
republican revolutionist and tlio famous
republican orator do not resemble each
other either in physiognomy or in
political policy. The dark lowering ftieu
of Xorilin is thnt of the typical Spanish
insurrectionist , just as the line open
cuuntcnutico of C'asiqlar indicate.-- man
in whom everything is above board and
whoio plans can bear thu light of day.
Castelar , who has been besieged by
journalists since , he arrived in Paris , tells
everybody that the republic should bo
founded in Spain , as elsewhere , by peace
ful means and not by the sword and pro-
miticmiuiotilos. In a word , Ciintolur is
in politics nn "opportunist " to employ a
much abused French political term , invented -
vented , by the way , by another grind
orator , Ganibnttn.
