WASIUXOIOV , April 11 fSpooinl Telo-
train to the llKi-l Illinois politicians any
th t there Is a Kood ileal of politics In the
president's uppolnttront of KvCoiiKrossmiin
Josh Allen as district Jmlije In this .state.
llo Is typical Egyptian democrat , was born
In southern Illinois , of Kuntucky stock , sym-
pathUiHl with the confcdnrntui tlurlni ; the
war , made bitter speeches In conuross
against Lincoln , fought every measure to
curry on thu war and gave as nnich aid and
comfort to the confederates as ho could with
out committing the "ovei f net. llo Is a man
of ability and a popular leader of his section ,
always attends democratic conventions In his
Mate , and Is usually a dnleg.xto to the na-
Moiinl convention , llavlni ; moro tnllnencu
In vontliorn Illinois than any other man. ho
has ticen a daiiKtirous object to the ambition
of the yovnger cenoratlon , who have been
nslni ; cvcrv possible intlucnco to tet him
sholvcil. Ity his appnlntmont tha presi
dent has gratified thu old Jacksonlan duinu-
ciiits by ruoo nliluc tht'lr lundcr and heat
at thu sumo time niailo hinisoll solid with the
younger element bv taking Allen out of their
way. The dissatisfaction with the adminis
tration In southern Illinois has boon wide
spread , but a politician ftom that section
bajs that the president could not have made
moro friends by a slnirlo act than by the ap
pointment of Allen. There was a probability
of n divided delegation from that state In
the next national convention , but It will bo
solid for Clovuland now. Illinois has half a
dozen or so candidates for the vice piesi-
dency , but they will all boom Cleveland for
president. It may be expected that there
will bu opposition to the conlirnmtlon of
Allen In the senate on account of Ids brutal
attack upon Lincoln during the war , which
all appear in full In the Congressional ( ilobo
from l&fii to 183.1 , for they wcro uttered In
congress , but he will not bo rejected.

consin , ami u.is a leading xplilt In
all enteiiulses for tliu benulit ot
thu elly and state. llo was
ptesldeiitof tint Chicago , Mllwaukeo tV , St.
1'aul lallioad lor a number of years , and was
vlitually thu owner of Ihu load. Hu also
built the Mllwaukeo chamber of commeicu
building at a cost of 87.0iXXJ and piusunted It
to Iliu city lot a nominal Mini. In politics
he was a staunch democrat and was tendered
a cabinet position by 1'resldeiit Cleveland ,
which was declined.
Mn.wArKiiH , April 10. H was not till
nearly I o'clock lids altcrnoon that credence
was given the iiowd ot Alexander Mitchell's
death , though rumors to that elTect had been
in eltcitlatlon since noon. David Ferguson ,
cashier of Mitchell's bank , who has been as
sociated \\itli him tor iKv.rly half a century ,
was prostrated by the news , and It was feared
at first would not recover , as he Is veiy
feeble. . The crowds that gathered at thu
bank to make inquiries as to his death were
bo laivu that tlio doors wciu clo-ed early In
the afternoon and guardb stationed to ad
mit none but intimate friends.
The gossip nmoni : merchants hero Is cen
tered principally about Iho suetessorship to
the presidency of tlie Chicago , Milwaukee it
St. I'aul road , and the presidency of tlio
Marine and Klro Insurance bank , of which
Mitchell owned ninety of the one
bundled abates. Mitchell's death has
led to the knouledt'o that he
had about completed arrangements to retire -
tire permanently from business by July 1 ,
transferring thu responsibilities ot his Im
mense banking business jointly to his son ,
John L. Mitchell , his brother-in-law , John
Johnston , aud D.ivid l-Viguson , and stepping
down Irom the pie.sidency of the St. Paul
road. This corporation , when he tirst as
sumed its ditection , owned loss than " 00
miles of road , and its rails now branch out
an aggregate of 8WM miles. It has been ru-
moied that tlio general ofllces ot the road
would he moved to Chicago upon Mitchell's
demise. Thu charter of the company , however
over , stipulates that their location Is In Wls
cousin and tlio ptesldent must also be a rest'
dent of tills stato. It is thought that .John
Planklngton , of Milwaukee , or Phil Armour ,
of Chicago , both of whom aru heavilv
interested In St. Paul , will succeed Mitchell.
A mainilliceni residence , being built for
an unknown owner , has been though
to bo designed for Al moiir in anticipation o
his succession to tlio St I'aul presidency ,
thus 4 > stabllshlng his residence hero In coiv
fortuity with the ohaiter provision of the
road. Mitchell Is survived by his wife , who
Is at ptesent at her Florida villa , a son , John
h. , and an adopted daughter , Mrs. lr ,
Macklu. ot this city , and a sister and brothei
liviiiK In Aberdeeiishlre , Scotland. Mitch
ell's estate Is variously estimated from S15 ,
OOO.OOJ to Si-iOOX > , ( X.O. It consists larcely ol
.secuiitles of various kinds , as outsldu hli 5
magnllicent residence on Urand avont.e , the
Chamber of Commerce and the Mitchel'
bank buildings , ho has comparatively Miial
landed possessions. He Is Known fo havi
left a will. It was made three years ago , bu

heard him make Hie same tjuery lor n wttefc

bay he didn't Jnow. i'arkur ( juietly pos-
bussed himself of the two valibes which he
found in the coach , and mounting his horw , '

the paymaster'b partv had just im ed1
Uroisini ; Antelope creH : . he SWUHL" oil tothef
left at an easy callop and in u lew minutes
was out ol sl ht.
The vigilant ; uardiann of Uncle Sam'fl
boodle had just completed tlio last course o $
u really enjoyable dinner when they hcarcl
tlie coach Unvo up , and the driver bain ; out :
"Major. J n'tebs bomebody'b been nioiikoy/
llic with j-oui valises ! "
The major overturned his chair in
"Retting n mo\e on himself. " lie
spranc to the Eidu of the coach
and vigorously pawed tlie blankets and
wraps about in his bearcli lortUe missing vft-
libes. \ \ 1th u cry ol "I've been robbed ! The
valises are cone ! " he threw up both hands
and. ran around and around the hoube like tC
l.una-struck lunatic , fell o vet the wood-pile
and stood on his head , not only licuratlvcljv
but literally ; wrung his hands and d d hip
luck. In the meantime tne ( .ration-keeper
and a neighboring rauchmati who was pr Jil-
ent made knoxrn the lact that they had beett
Irom the window , while the major and bis
escort weie eating their dinner , a horhcmaa
pass over the brow of a neighboring hill
carrying , apparently , n bundle of some sort
uuon his saddle. At this the sergeant sprang
upon the ranchman'b horse , standing near ,
and het out in the direction indicated ,
who was followed in u few momenta
later by a man on n work-norm * . On
reaching the top or u divide the
bergeant wwl'arker aboutthree-quarters ot n
mile awny and tired at him with the revolve *
he curried , und I'arker turned lu hlb saddle
and returned the compliment , but the dlt *
tance was too great to r liable either to score
a hlu I'arker then put spurs to hlb horse
and was soon out of sight , while hih pursuers
returned to tlie station lo comtort the major ,
who hud apparently taken tmal and absolute
leave of hit seven senses.
These are the larti. There IB no truth In
the that tlie . "
repnn senre.mt "disobeyed or
ders and deserted his post. " There is no
trulh in the report that "the gallant .Major
Mash and his escort maintained n running
light with tht llee.ug blai.d-thlrsty villain for
miles. " There if no truth in thu report that
"valivfi weie snatched trom under tlio very
noses of Uncle Sam's servants bv the
bold and desperate robber and "high
wayman. " The flnfile fact Is tnat
the boodle was left to take rare
of Itself , while the pavmnsler and nis escort
went up to the station 147 steps awav and ate
their dinner , and that both It and I'arker
were out nt siuhl loupnetore the departure of
elthm was madt known.
.Major Hash's proposed defense before the
court nf Inquiry is an unknown quantity In
this latitude. The manner In which tbe
sworn deposition of parties who witnessed
the alf air were taken , only nerves to tli-epfln
the my tery ; for , while tlie major's inter
rogations regarding l'arker'8 manner of life
at the station , his habit of carrying n gun
mul the speed qualities of his hort-o were
very clo e , r.ml searching , he carefully
avoided asking any one'tion likely to throw
any light upon the "robbery" Itself.
