The hoard of secretaries mot this
morning at the rooirm of the state hoard
of transportation. While the business
transacted was purely routi-noTltKl.iiJ :
representative got hold of a few facts
ot moro than passing interest. Supplo-
inontary tarill sheet * have hoen coining
in and ( Hod almost constantly for thu
past ten dny.s. The o sheets , however ,
have to do wholly with the through
freight shipped westward from Chicago
to any point within the stuto , and while
reductions have boon made on the rated
per hundred , ranging from t ! to 0 cMils ,
by the various railroad companies , the
ratio of reduction includes thocomploto
chiHHiiication recently inado by the state
boaid of transportation , hut this only
ulTecta tlio city of Chicago , fixing class
rates , and hurts Omahaand Lincoln and
other jobbing centers of the state , just
in proportion that it benefits the ( lardon
City. Hut wliilo this is MI tlio interior
towns can have no reasonable grounds
to kick , nnd , in the opinion of the board
of secretaries cortnin benollts will nc-
cruo to the whole slate that will miti
gate thin liltlo act of spleen on the part
of the railroad companies , HO apparent
on the face of the sheets received and
filed.
Answers from the railroad companies
to the late order of reduction on tariff
rates inado by the state board of transportation -
portation are very la/.y about coming infer
for ollieial consideration. The ordoi
goes into elToet to-morrow , but IM yet
not a single answer has been received
and llled ; but should any l.o rocehod
the Oth duy of August is Used upon as
the dale for a hearing.
The hoard of secretaries gave an ox-
jlicit answer to-day to Q. GHuUo.y , of
uloomington , who very recently addressed -
dressed a letter to lion. William Leeso in
refereneo to an unjust railroad demand
and extortion made by the iigont of Iho
13. & M. company at that plnco , and
which was referred to the stale hoard
for an opinion and adjustment. The
answer was addressed to f ! . M.
Jloldrcdgo , general manager of the 15.
& M. railroad. Omaha , and a copy of
Mr. Hniloj'slotler inclobcd with it and
directed to him. The answer is to the
point as follows :
"If the goods in question wore shipped
upon a through bill of lading to the
point of destination and delivery , and
the freight thereon prop.ud , the
bill of lading constituted a
contract , and the prepayment of the
fnifilit was fully executed at the point
of shipment ; and if the rnilioads had a
through line they are hound by the
terms of the contract and could not
raise the rates by a change of the class
ification , or in any other way , without a
plain violation of the contract. The
bill of lading is both a receipt for Iho
goods and a contract by which all Iho
railroads constituting the line over
which the snino wore shipped are
bound , and each of tliem is
bound by the contract , and , as a matter
of law , the excess charged by your
company over that required by the' bill
of liming should ho refunded ; and further -
thor , if it is true as stntud in tlio letter
of Mr. Bailey , that ho has tendered to
the agent of the company all that was
demanded , including this excessive
charge , but that the agent refused to
crivo him the goods because ho tendered
the charges under protest , you are re
quested to at once cause tlio goods to
bo delivered to Mr. Dailo.\ "upon his
tendering the full amount of his charges.

SI HAMMON'S CLAIM.
It was after sunset in Dead Sioux.
The prospectors and the men who had
ivorked faithfully all day in the mines
mil Hocked into the settlement for -a
: iight'hca rou sal.
The outhiAs and gamblers blossomed
out again upon the streets , having
passed the day in a drunken stupor.
The bar-keepers who had do/.ed or
lounged iul.in . their S'lloons through
the warm afternoon , roused themselves
as night came on and briskly dispensed
thoii hottest whitjkoy to the thirsty
thiong at most oxorbilantcharges. Tin
dim light of fi-eblo candles and smoky
lamps Iliekorod as the wind , sweeping
down the canyon , whistled through the
cracks of the rtido shanties. But little
cured the miners and gamblers so long
as the laughter was loud , and the whis
key was hot and the whiskey was ho
enough to please even the niosi exacting
There was no elegance about Dead
rfioux for it was a now mining towr
nestling in Dead hioux canyon. Ye' '
money , or its equivalent , ore , was plea
tiful in Dead Sioux , for almost every
prospector in the ran yon was striking
it rich. Pav-dirt had been found about
n month before , nnd miners , gamblers ,
claim-jumpers and shark's wore crossing
the mountain trail into Dead Sioux can
yon in frightful numbers.
Just at sunset a oniivas-eovorcd wager
that creaked and groaned as it in mor
tnl agony had luuted on tins trail lead
ing down into the settlement of Dead
Sioux , and a tall , raw-boned man and :
woman equally u- , tall and raw-bonci"
stood up in the wagon and took a long
look ut the arrnv of shanties and tents
below thorn. Tlireo miserably ragpoi
children under the canvas behind then
also curiously Mir\ejed the scene.
"it looks p'urty lively , fur bhoro'sni
the man , Si Hnininon , to his wife.
"Indeed it do , Si , " she replied , "I etc
hope as we'll sbtriko it yero. I'm Jos'
clean disgusted witli n-truvelin' ull tin
time ; n-gettin' up every mornin1 and i
mo\in' on. 1 declare I'm clean tuckuruil
out. "
"M - too Sal " paid Si
< , , , sympathet
ically , "and the kids , but f'don't see
how we could 'a' helped it. "
Then he lapsed into silence while his
eye waiidoie'l up and down the canyon
until it fell upon a group of pines grow
ing upon tin ; side of a mountain be\oud
Dead SiouN. tie pointed it ojt to his
wife :
"Kf there ain't already aclaim staked

to stake one , and I'm a goin' to head
Unsold rattle-trap right for : t now.
You hjour mo ? ' '
* 'Yes , " said his wife.
They sat down , and the old bony
mules started laboriously down the trail
and shmly drew them into Dond Sioux
All along the inoynlar streets and in
wiotched saloons and dance houses people
ple were lOiouliug and tinging in
drunken hilarity. Kvory now and then
as they rode along , Si and his wife
heard a rush of feet and loud cries and
one , two , tin ee or a dorcn shots from
the over-handy revolver which un
doubtedly lot , out the life current of
some poor wretch , and added another
to Dead Sioux' already long list of mur
ders
D"For heaven's sake , SI , " cried Mrs.
Hnminon ' 'do of "
, hurry out this.
"I only hope as we'll live to git out , ' '
Si gapped as ho prodded his jaded
mules. Hut at last they left Dead Sioux
nnd all Its horrors behind them.
Tents doited the mountain side and
tlu lights looked like stars twinkling
ovor\whun > Almoet the oulj dark
epot u-us the little knot of ( lines which
Si wa .steering for. NVheij ho reached
it. to use his own phrase , he wa < >
mighty nigh tickled to death' to s = eo
that no claim had been staked oil , nnd

down into the tnlloy ,
" 1 guess wo have struck luck , Sal , "
said bl. "t guess wo are at our jour
ney's end at the nnd of our lariat. "
"I do hope so , " returned liis wife ,
"fur I do really feel kinder home-y
already. "
The children were wild with delight.
They declared that everything said
"Homo" to them , although there was
nothing but the wagon with its canvas
top for a residence. To them all , there
was iv homo feeling in the very air nnd
in the bright glow of the lire which
was speedily built. The winds murmur-
'ng through the plnos seemed to whls-
> or , "Home , sweet homo , " and the
itrook seemed merrily singing , "Home ,
sweet homo , ' ' and a bird awakened by
Mio bright light seemed to cry "Homo ,
iwect home'1 ns it Hew from the pines
nto the darkness.
No little child in royal palace walled
n nnd guarded as heir to the throne
ever slept more peacefully or moro eon-
'ontcdly than Si Hninmon and his fa in
ly that night , In the old wagon with its
invua covering Happing in the wind ,
nwny up in the mountains of Colorado.
The sun was high up in the heavens ,
ind valley and mountain and snow clad
mngo were bathed in a Hood of golden
ight before they awoke.
In a few days Si had built his cabin
iiml commenced work upon his claim ,
'leforo many weeks ho know
hat ho had Indeed struck it rich ,
ind many a niirht uftoi- the children
, voro asleep did ho and his wife sit hand
n hand by their pitch pine fire while
.ho wind sighed mournfully through
the trees without and talk of the homo
they would huvo by and by , back in old
Tennessee.
It became noised around the settlo-
nont of Dead Sioux and up and down
the canyon that the lank Tcnnessccan , I
Si Hainmon , had "struck it rich , " and
that a syndicate in Denver was to send
up an export to examine his claim.
Sam Hunker , the notorious gambler
-ind oliiiin-jumper , hoard the rumor
with avaricious oars. j
"I am cussed. " ho howled to n crowd |
of his own stripe , "if anv darned rebel
can have such nigger luck and enjoy it
while I live. You can bet I'll soon settle
that. "
"Tho syndicate expert comes up from
Dpnvor to-morrow , Sam. " said one of
his friends.
"That's just what I want , " cried Sam.
"I nepd a couple of thousand the worst
way , justnpw. " Ho raised the burning
whisky which ho hold in his hand and
swnllowyd it at a gulp , "I'm goln # up
to lire tlmtold rebel now , " he muttered ,
and woiit out , followed by half a dozen
friends.
Si was working on his claim when the
rullians approached.
"I came to tell you to git , " said Sam
Hunker as ho halted bofoio Si. "You
hear ? I say , git , the whole kit ol ye , before -
fore sunset and don't lot me see you
around here again. "
"Hut I own this claim. " protested Si.
"I staked it out fust , and I'm n-goin' to
hold it down , you hyoar mol" Hunker
laughed roughly and turned to his as
sociates. "Say , boys , " ho cr'cd ' , "he
says ho haint a-goin' to git nnd wants
to know of I hear him. Haw , haw ,
bawl' ' and the claim-jumper laughed as
though ho enjoyed it hugely. Then ho
turned to Si.
" 1 don't give a cuss if you did stake
the claim. I want it , and I'm goin'to
ha\oit. Now , git. "
"I don't have to pit , ' ' said Si calmly ,
"and I hainl a-goin' to. "
"The deuce you ain't ! " exclaimed
Hunker , and again ho turned to his
comrades.
"Say , boys , ho says ho ain't a-goin'
to gi't. In course he aint. He aint
a-goin to live to , " ami with a brutal
laugh the rulllan raided his cojkcd re
volver and shot Si Hnminon through
the heart.
"Look-a-herp , you needn't squeal , "
cried the claim-jumpor , as Mrs. Iliim-
uion ran toward them with the children
clinging , terror-stricken , to her gown.
"You nnd the Kids lias got to git , in-
stanler. You hear1 ; You'vo got to
slope , slide , take the Hume , git out of
this right oil or join the throng , " and
he nnd his friends laughed boisterously.
Scarcely knowing what she was do
ing , not knowing whore she was going ,
Mrs. Hanimon turned , with the chil
dren still clinging to her skirts , and
wont away , leaving the corpse of her
husband on the ground , and his mur
derers in full possession. The sun , as
if to hide his fueo from so cruel a sight ,
just then sank behind the snowy range.
Five years have gone by. There was
a great change in the settlement of
Deid Sioux and Dead Sioux canyon. Up
and down the canyon stretched a solidly
built city a city of brick and btono a
city with water works , horse cars , elec
tric lights anil dailj papers. A railroad
had reached out its iron hand and
clasped it. The miners' cabins were
scattered for miles up and down the
canyon. There were many fine streets
in the city of Dead Sioux , where were
the palatial residences of fortunate mi
nors of the old days.
There were bad stones whispered of
how some of these men had obtained
their wealth , but the brainless gold-
worshiporb did not bother themselves
over these rumors. Of all the elegant
residences in the city , not one
was moro palatial than that of Mr. Sam
uel Hunker. Of all the wealthy men
worshiped by the empti-bruined people ,
not one received more adulation than ho.
Thy claim known a& the "Si Hammon
claim , " which ho had sold had made
him immensely wealthy and besides ho
was piesidcntof the syndicate which
now owned it It was known ovory-
wheie that Si Hamrnon and His family
had disappeared very mysteriously five
years ago mid it was n gauay tale that
Mr. Hunker told , but his fawning sy
cophants cared little for that. It wns
enough for them that so great a man as
Mr. Samuel Hunker should deign to
notice them.
In thu most fashionable locality in the
city of Dead Slodx , his residence out
shone in magnifiu'anco and grandeur all
others. Mr. Snmuul Hunker lived , enjoyed -
joyed that which was bought with the
blood of a murdered man. Hut the weak-
brained who bow down and worship
wealth cared not if blood was on the
hand of the man tp whom they clung.
They cared not if blood was on the
books , the rich carpets , the costly up
holstery , the expensive plate , or if
blood did purchase the food and wines
they were wild to eat and drink in his
house. What did they care ? Noth
ing.Air.
Air. Samuel Hunker stood alone in the
night and watched the men at work
around his great mines , with supreme
satisfaction , even though the very mine
that ho took such pleasurable pride in ,
was sunk whore his victim fell dead.
Far below the electric lamps in the
citv of Dead Sioux shone brightly ,
while candles in cabin windows sparkled
here and there on the mountain
sides. The lights around his mine
illumined the spot where Mr. Hunker
stood , but they did not light
up the woods that crowded
up close around the mine.
Had they done so , and had Mr. Hunker
turned liis head over so slightly , ho
would have seen a dark , shadowy form
slipping hither and thither , always
being careful to keep behind the largest
trees but every moment drawing closer
and closer upon him. Ho would have
seen that the form was a woman clad in
iv tattered gown , that her long hair
strealccd with silver was blown by the
wind about her face. IIo would have
seen that the wild look in her eyes was
frightened and unearthly.
Cautiously , witli the stealthy stop of a
a panther , the woman crept on , now-
crouching as if about to spring , now
lalf rising , but over stealing nearer
mil nearer to Mr. Samuel Hunker.
Soon she knelt down , not a dozen
'cot from the man who nnd
murdered her husband in cold blood ;
who had loft the widow and the fathor-
.ess out in the wilderness , where
through hunger and cold her three
children had died. Then , sick nigh
adto death , with a fearful gnawing at
lior heart , she hiid crept back into the
mountains , suffering with cold and
hunger , without u friend , bnoj < to the
place where her husband liiul been so
cruelly murdered. And now , his mur
derer stood before her viewing with
pleasure that which ho had gained by
Lho blood of her husband.
Softly she rose to her feet , and
caught from her pocket a revolver ,
which she raised , looking at the do-
atroyor of all her earthly hopes , and
loves , and joys. A sharp report broke
the moro than solemn silence nnd
pierced the darkness of the forest that
no human eye could penetrate. A
btilled groan , a muttered prayer , which
was half a curse , so agoni/ing , so un
earthly , that it would have caused the
stoutest heart to stand still ,
the quick shuttle of feet in affrighted
retreat , and all was still. The
morning sun rose half in gloom and
tears , and when lifo was again astir ,
Iho pathetic story was learned that Si
Hammon s wife had como back to die
upon the same spot where liiul obbcd
away the life of herhusband , him whom
she loved most nnd best. Raymond

A rtnllrond in Ireland Stolen.
Globe Democrat : An extraordinary
performance is reported from Ireland.
A whole railroad , moro than ten miles
long , with a neat station house , a cor
rugated iron freight house , several iron
shelter sheds for cars , all the iron rails
and everything portable has been torn
up and carried away piecemeal by the
"Irish farmers" between Portumna and
Parsonstown. A ver.icious correspond
ent writes : 'A few days ago I was
driving from Portumna to Parsonstown ,
and when wo came to where the station
stood I exclaimed to the driver : 'Hullo !
what's become of the station and build-
' " 'Oh honor ' all
ing'j" , your , they're
stolen , and every iron rail from this to
HUT' the local name for Parsonstown.
'And did not the police interfere'1' ; said
I. 'Oh , yes , the police took up tlirco or
four follows , but then the magistrate
asked whore's the prosecutor , and no
body answering , ho ordered them to bo
discharged , and there was great plun
der , and some of the rail , I hear , went
oil by the Shannon on the steamer.
' \Vhat on earth could the farmers do
with the rails' : " Oh , bedad they make
the finest of rafting for lean-to out
houses , and the corrugated iron the best
of roofs. ' And as wo wont along ho
pointed out one or two now iron-covered
outhoubos , which , ho ciid , no doubt
came from the railway. 1 asked a gen
tleman in the train about it , and ho said
ho believed everybody was afraid to
claim ownership lost ho might bo liable
for the debts of the company ! Now , sir
this may bo n traveler's story , for I
know nothing of this railway , except
that old Sir Thomas Burke tolu mo that
ho had lost $10,000 by it , and that the
late Lord Clanricardo had lost $1 5,000
by it , but I can vouch that the railway
station , etc. , and rails are all gone ! "
