FOUND A SKELETON.
Discovery In a Hollow Tree or Booty
audnThlofa Remains.
AUGUSTA , Ga. , July 27. One year ago the
residence of L. C. Sessions , a few miles from
this city , was robbed of some money and sil
ver plate. The thief was discovered and al
most captured , when ho mysteriously disap
peared in the darkness , and the most diligent
search failed to trace him. Yesterday Scs
sioDS ordered a tree to bo cut , as it gave evidence
denco of rapid decay , and Its proximity to his
residence made it dangerous. It was an im
mense ancestral oak , and for years a hollow
had extended up through it. When the tree
fell the skeleton of a man was found wedged
in the hollow.ar.d near him the sllverwarolaud
money that had boon stolen from Sessions.
The supposition Is that the burglar in escap
ing climbed the tree and stepped in the hol
low so as to elude discovery , but found it im
possible to extricate himself.

As the seven convicts , sentenced by Judge
rolT at this term of court , scrambled into a
juss at the back door of the county'Jail yos-
.erday , a llttlo woman about sixty years
old and dressed In a plain coarse dress , said :
"Thoro is ouo who looks llko n man that
came hero about a year ago from Burlington ,
[ a. His name was Wilson. I wonder what
; hat man's name Isl" On being informed
that It was Charles Wilson , tb.o little woman
continued : '
"That's him , then , nnd I don't care a cent.
He came to my husband's ' saloon hero some
months ago and niter hanging around there
for Borne tlmo ran nwny with my daughter , a
? Irl eighteen years old. They went to
Hastings , Nob. , and 'were there for some
time , uud when they came back ho said they
were married. Wo asked him to show his
marriage certificate , but ho never could , and
1 think If they had been married ho could
have shown the papers. "
The woman was Mrs. D. C. Koyce\ylfo of
a saloon keeper In tnls city. "I don't care a
cent to see him go to the penitentiary , " she
continued , -'for thcro is not a spark of man
hood In him. Ho stele the things ho was
found guilty of stealing , and even when they
arrested my poor old husb.md for the crime ,
Wilson did not have the manhood to go to
the Jail and get him out. I know ho never
was married to my daughter. "
The men , as they were chained in pairs to
bo taken to Lincoln , were Charles McVeigh
nnd John Charlcsalas ( "Black Jack : Charles

his big bible under his arm
and follow after the younger criminals. IIo
Is sixty-soveu years old and It is bollovcd by
many that ho took the horse while in a tem

of all the boys in jail and took time to shako

getting Into the cab. Sheriff Coburn , Jailer
Miller , Detective Orrnsby and a number
of the police force accompanied the criminals
to the state prison.

clinrgoH Expcotdd General Gossip
Messrs. Hogo nndiMu'rphy do not stand ns
Igh In the estimation of the brotherhoods of
ugliioers and flrbufon ns they aid n few days
go , if reports nrp tq"bo believed , and Ihoro
s no reason to doubt the rumors heard. The
natter stands thust Hogo and Murphy
tnrted out to mnWa trip over the lines of
ho B. < fc M. , which was to bo completed by
nst Tuesday. T r trial nt Chicago wns
duo during their , absence. To the astonish-
nient of everybody Ilio prosecuting attorney
moved that n contliiQnnco bo granted on the
ground that Hogomid Murphy were absent
in the company's business. As may bo ox-
iccted the announcement caused a slight sen-
atloti. suit after the first excitement had
lasscd nway there wcro not n few who ex
pressed themselves ns positive tlmt the two
nen had an understanding with the "Q. "
tnoiuls. This belief is still entertained
> y a number of brotherhood men , and as
grounds for entertaining the Idea they setup
up the following : First , that neither Hogo
or Murphy have , on tbo trip , manifested the
snmo spirit shown by them ' at the
icginnlng of the existing trouble , but have ,
on the contrary , maintained n more than
conservative course , and have refrained ex
clusively from venturing opinions or giving
any counsel whatever as to what was to bo
expected. According to arrangements , both
won were to attend the mooting at St. Joe
on Tuesday last nnd report to the body what
hey had learned , but , instead , they went to
Denver , nnd the only knowledge the meeting
n St , Joe had of the fact that they wcro still
iviugwas a letter received which stated
they were well and hopeil the boys would act
viscly , etc. They left Deliver for the east
Fucsday ulrhtuudarri\-edln { Chicago Thurs-
Ijyevonlng , when they stated that every thing
along the line wns solid , and other similar
> hrascs. A brotherhood man yesterday
stated that the work of Hoge and Murptiy
ind amounted to nothing beyond n reitera
tion of facts already known and that tholr
western trip was useless. He could of
ourso divulge nothing concerning the in-
.entions of the order In regard to Iho mutter ,
but hinted that the continuance on the part
of the prosecution in the trial of the two
nen was of course an understood thing and
.tint . us u number of mombm-s were not satis-
led with the aspect of matters au invcstiga-
.ion would probably follow.
AVliolcsalo Decapitations.
Yet a few days more , and there will bo
music on the line of the Chicago , Milwaukee
% St. Paul , ns far ns passenger conductors
nro concerned.- Because why I It Is thi *
For some time past the management
iavu suspected that the conductors were not
, urning in the proper amount of moneys col-
ectcd , but how to determine It was the
question. The system of employing train
collectors was adopted , and several of these
were put on the various runs. Their duties
consisted of taking tickets , collecting fares ,
: tc. , and each week a report was made to
icadquarters. By comparing these with
irevious reports. it was determined
, hat a wholesale system of "knock-
ng down" receipts was being practiced
ind it was determined to stop it at once. In
.ho meantime the. conductors appointed
n committee to confer with Manager Miller
, vho , after stating thp foots in the casu , in-
'ormcd them that Ills' company had become
cognizant of the fnctrthat they were being
robbed , and to prevent a repetition of the

WOMAN'S KINGDOM.
Mrs. Morton's Housemaid Leaves to
Shine Upon the Stage.
New York _ World : Hero is a curious
sorvatit-girl episode that IB said to have
occurred in the household of Mrs. Levi
P. Morton , the wife of the republican
vice-presidontial candidate. She had
in her emnloy a young woman who did
what is vulgarly known as the "up-
Btairs work , ' , or. in other words , was a
housemaid. This housemaid did her
work neatly and with dispatch. Her
hods were always snowy parallelograms ,
without a wrinkle ; there was never to
ho found , oven in the most secret Cor
ners , a fragment of neglected dust ,
and she never broke ornaments. Im
agine what was Mrs. Morton's disgust
when this rara avis came one day to
give notice that she intended to leave
when her month was up.
"But why do you wish to go ? " in
quired the house miatross. "Aro you
uissatiaiicd in any way'1" ; "No , " said
the house maid , ' 'but I mean to give up
housework nnd study for tlio stage , "
'Stage ! " gasped Mrs. Hovton , who'had
only begun to recover from the shock of
seeing society women appear before the
footlights , and was aghast at this for
ward movement from the other end of
the social lino. "What has over put it
in to your head to go on the stagoV"
"Well , you seeimi'am , , " said the as
piring wielder oftho , broom , "I belong
to one of the , grids ? friendly societies
hero , and wo moi/t every Tuesday night
for mutual improvement and amuse
ment. They always'ask mo to recite ,
nnd they applamV'ifyo so much that I
thought perhaps j , h'nd a real talent , so
I have saved a Uttlb money and I'm
going to give up a ycnr to study. "
"But what do you recitoi1" Mrs. Mor

THE TRUST AND ITS METHODS ,
Representatives of Several Largo lls-
tillcrlufl Explain Ilio Manner In
Which ( liuCuinbltintloii Trans-
nclH Its
The Whisky Trust.
WASIIIXOTOX , July 2" . At the meeting of
ho fiouao commlttco on manufactures to-day ,
ho chnlrtnnn announced tlmt the commlttco
would proceed to the Investigation of the so-
: nlled whisky trust , nnd called J. M. Athcr-
on , of Louisville , Ky. , president of the J. M ,
\thcrton company , as the flrst witness. The
company's headquarters , the witness salJ ,
vcro located In Larnguo county , Kentucky ,
t was not engaged In distilling whisky , but
n handling the whisky of a number of llrms
vho do a distilling business In tholr own
names. The product of thcsa llrms Is con-
rolled by the J. M. Athorton company under
agreement. The object of the agreement waste
to preserve the trudo-marks of these firms ,
which wore roeardod as valunblo ones.
Thorn woro. Atherton said , two classes of
whliky producers In Kentucky ; tlioso who
nude fine bcurbou whiskies , and a number
of firms , located along the Ohio river , who
inadq cheap whisKy , the difference bolng
n 'ago. There was no business
connection between those two classes
of producers , nor was thcro any connection
between Kentucky distillers nnd those who
made substantially the same kind of whisky
In Pennsylvania and Maryland. In reply tea
a question the witness said that most of the
largo distillers or line Kentucky whisky en
tered into an agreement by which they
bound themselves to produce no whisky In'
the fiscal year of 1883 , Somu few largo llrms
refused to sign the agreement , uud there
were about one hundred and fifty very small
distillers who were not asked to sign. > The
combined production of these non-signers
was estimated nt $3,500,000.
The agreement grow out of the fact that
from IfcSl to 1887 thcro had been a very largo
overproduction of whlaky. In order to pro
tect the owners of this whisky from the ef
fects of this overproduction un agreement to
suBpend operations from Julv 1,18S7 , to July
1 , 1SS8 , was entered Into. Thl agreement ,
the witness desired to say , was not in the
nature of a trust there wus no consolidation
of property nor merging of interests.
The witness wus then examined with re
gard to the production of alcohol and spirits
uy Kopresentatlvo Brcckcnrhlgo of Arkan
sas , and asked if thcro was a trust in this
trade.
The witness replied tlmt ho believed that
nearly all the distillers north of the Ohio
river were members of the trust. The headquarters -
quarters wcto at Poorla , and W. K. Grcenhut
wus president. The trust also included n few
listillcrs of alcohol and cheap whisky located
ill Kentucky , near Covington.
Representative Huolmuan "Excluding the
internal revenue tax , what is the cost of n
gallon of whisky laid down in the bonded
warohousol"
Witness "That depends upon a great many
factors which vary considerably , but assum
ing that corn sells for 50 cents , rye for 80
cents , and malt for 80 cento per bushel , n gal
lon of standard bourbon whisky , with Inter
est on the iilunt , would cost say 80 cents , and
excluding interest on the plant , about 23 cents
to : > 7 cents. "
Mr. Buchanan "What would bo the c/Tcct /
of requiring a tax to bo paid when the whisky
is produced ; that is , abolishing the bonded
period ? "
Witness "It would substantially destroy
tha manufacture of ilno whiskies , because
of the increased cost of whiskies when they
were fit for use , growing out of the fact that
every gallon that evaporated would bo n tax
paid gallon , and because of the heavy ex
pense of carrying whisky for several years ,
insurance , etc. The amount of money re
quired in the business would bo so great that
no uistillcr could do much unless he was n
millionaire. Such a law would lead to com
binations , nnd rich combinations would soon
absorb It all. "
W. T. Shelley , of Louisville , said that ho
was chairman of the committee to sccuro
signatures to an agreement to limit the pro
duction to 11,000,000 gallons. Only about 25
per cent of those who signed the 1888 agree
ment had signed the new one. Hy the 188'J
agreement 9,000,000 gallons of the
production were to bo distributed
among the signers in proportion to
their capacity , while 2,000,000 gallons were
loft to bo distributed , in the discretion of
the committee , among these who In previous
years had not over-produced. The distillers
Field back from signing the agreement until
they could find out how much of this 2,000-
000 gallons each was to got.
W. II. Thomas of Louisville testified that
one of the reasons of the export of whiskey to
Europa was that ho and others believed tiiat
Kentucky whisky was better than the for
eign compound liquors and thought that they
might make a market for it in Europe.
Ninety per cent of the whisky reported was
owned by wholesale dealers and ho believed
that if they all united they could build up u
big trade in Europe. Ho was not in favor of
a repeal of the tax on liquor for the reason
that every farmer with a stream near his
farm \vould go into the business nnd ruin the
distillers by over-production. With no tax
on whisky ho behoved that there would bo
ten times the amount consumed.
PROPERTY OF THE GOVERNMENT
Held In Adverse Possession to Which
it Una a Valid Claim.
, July 27. In response to the
senate resolution calling upon him for evi
dence in the treasury department relating to
the property of the United States , and to
which the United States has n valid claim ,
which is held In adverse possession , the sec
tary of the treasury to-day transmitted to
tho-scnato the reports of the solicitor of the
treasury and commissioner of intern ? ! rev
enue on the subject. 'Iho acting solicitor , In
his report , says that there Is no personal
property now hold In adverse possession to
which the United States has a valid claim.
The commissioner pays that the only prop
erty In charge of his office Is real estate ac
quired under the internal rovcnuo law. Ac
cording to a letter from Mr. Littlcpago ,
lately employed as an niront of the treasury
department , fo the solicitor of the treasury ,
dated October 19,1SS7 , it seems that ho was
employed to "assist In the prevention nnd de
tection of frauds upon the customs revenue. "
Continuing ho says :
'After my several conversations with yon ,
I Infer that my especial assignment will bo
to recover such properties belonging to the
late confederate states us have boon fraudu
lently or improperly diverted or concealed. "
In concluding , ho says : "Abovo all , I desire
that my special assignment shrill bo kept a
profound sccoet. "
In a letter dated November II , 1SS7. ho
says that ho went to his homo In King Will-
lam county , Virginia , to examine his old con
federate pupor.mado and received while in Eu
rope under the ordersof the then confederate
states government , to obtain accurate data.
Ho found that In the winter of 181. IIo was
ordered to the confederate ship Texas. This
vojsol was built nt Glasgow , and was to
have received her armament and equipment
while lying off the coast of
England by another vessel. Cap
tain Henry Sinclair , of the confederate
states navy superintended the construction
of the vessel , her cost being $1,400,000 , all of
which was fully paid by the confederate gov
ernment. The vessel , ho suyi , started to
BOO , but having been reported as u confed
erate cruiser , was solzed. Cuptaln Sinclair ,
rntbor than carry her through the courts , se
cured her release by guaranteeing tlmt she
should not go Into the hands of the confed
eracy until they should be entitled to have
her. Ho then chartered her , , and when , a
few months after , the confederacy collapsed ,
she was still salting under tha snmo charter.
Ho adds that this vessel was fully paid for by
the confederate government , and should belong -
long to the United States ? She Is still valua
ble nnd Is now trading between Edmburg
and Copenhagen. Ho adds that there were
several other Clyde-built stcamcrsrj'-'on- '
structed by the confederate government
similarly disposed of by their agents or cap
tains , which should now belong to the United
States. There wcro also two powerful rams
bulit by Laird & Co. on the Mersey
ostensibly for the Chluoso government , but
Inspected and tested by confederate ofllcers.
They were solzod by the llrltlsh authorities
nnd llnnlly dlst > oscd of by confederate ngcnts
In charge , and nro now In the llrltlsh navy ,
having recently boon soon by Admiral Lucent
nt Bermuda , Hying the Bhtlsh Hag ,
Llttlopago also speaks of certain powerful
Clyde liulltslcnmcrs nnd nuns built In Franco
for the confederate government , and also
state * that parties who recently visited Cap
tain Sinclair's house found that Its linen ,
crockery , cutlery , etc. , bore the letters ,
"C. S. N. , " which nro supposed to have
came from the Texas. Ho ndds that two
now Clydo built steamers , the Qlty of Peters
burg and the Old Dominion , which wcro
built for the confederate government nnd
paid for by It , nro now running bMwcon
Liverpool nnd Dublin. Llttlepngo files an
itemized statement of the confederate prop
erty unrccovered by the Untied Stales gov
ernment , amounting to &UOoaoX ; ) , most of
which Is In English hands. Ho cstlmntcs
tlmt there are $0,000,000 In tho. United States ,
not Including the value of many millions of
dollars' worth of cotton belonging to the con
federate government shipped from Brown-
vllle , Galvcston nnd Mutumoras since the
war.
A Locninottvu'M Steaming Capacity.
Scientific American : Within a month
past six locomotives , embodying some
striking features , htivo boon plucoil on
the Now York , Now llnvon & Hartford
railroad , to run between Now York nnd
Snringilolil nnd Intermediate points.
These locomatlvos were built nt the
Baldwin locomotive works , Philadel
phia , from original designs. The great
i'v/.o of the boiler , the ton of which is
ton feet nine inches high , or only three
below the top of the smoke stake , at
oneo attracts attention whenever the
oiigine is seen , nnd the corresponding
six.0 mid weight of all the working purls ,
except Iho moderato-si/.cd driving
wheels , are matters of comment among
all the engineers under whoso notice
they have come.
The cylinders of these engines have a
diameter of " 0 inches by 2U inches
Htroko , the steam ports being Ifc by 10
inches. The driving wheels are ( > Sk
inches diameter , and the engine truck
wheels and tender wheels 8l ! inches
diameter. The spread of the driving
wheels ia 9 foot , 1 inch , and the total
wheel base of the engine iJJJ foot , 7
inches. The total wheel base of the en
gine and tender is 47 foot , 91 inches , and
the length of engine and tender over
all is 68 feet , 2i inches. The tender has
a capacity for 0 } tons of anthracite coal
and S'OO gallons of water , and is iittod
with a water scoop for taking up Water
from a long tank laid between the rails
a system which has not heretofore
boon employed on this railroad , but for
which tlio company is now getting
ready by placing tanks in position at
the desired distances to facilitate long ,
straight runs.
"Tho weight of the engine in Avork-
ing order is about 110,000 pounds , the
weight on the driving wheels being
08,000 pounds , and on the front truck
wheels 42,000 poumU The weight of
the tender , with coal and water , is about
70,000 pounds , making tlio total weight
of engine and tender , ready for service ,
180,000 pounds. The boilers are wagon
top in form , 00 inches diameter at the
smoke box end , and the lire-boxes are
Gt. foot long by IMS inches wide inside.
These engines are designed for an or
dinary working steam pressure of 1(10 (
pounds , which , wo are informed , is ob
tained and carried as readily as 140 or
145 pounds on the locomotives hereto
fore in use on the road.
The present superintendent of motive
power of the company , Mr. J. Ilonny ,
jr. , was formerly for many years in
charge of their shops at Hartford , whore
many locomotives of excellent design
and line finish were turned out , which
have done and are doing good service
on the road. These now engines , how
ever , have been specially designed for
high speed for long distances , drawing
heavy trains , With which they have ,
thus far , boon shown to easily make
sixty miles an hour on any comparn-
tivo'ly straight section of track. In
the matter of first cost these
engines seem marvelously cheap , thotr
approximate cost being stated at about
$10,000 each , the ostablishmcns at which
they were raado now turning out com
pleted locomotives at the rale of two a
day. The dimensions of the boiler and
llro-box , with the great amount of heat
ing surface provided , give them extra
ordinary steam making power , nnd it is
claimed that they are economical of
fuel. It is not unlikely , also , that , in
providing engines with such extra
steaming capacity , the company is an
ticipating the enforcement next winter
of regulations compelling the railroads
in that section to heat their cars by
btoam , and discard entirely the car
stovo.

A Second Grand Asonnlt.
NEW YOIIK , July 27. [ Special Telegram to
TUB BRK.J All Long Island City gathered
about the Long Island rnllroatt tlejiot on
Front street yesterday afternoon. The
crowd began to collect nt noon nnd nt 2
o'clock there wore thousands of ixjoplo punh-
ing , yolllng nnd shouting In the little street.
The cause was the report that Alayor Pat
rick J. Glcason was going to begin a second
grand assault on the Long Island railroad
company buildings which are obstructing the
town. Mayor Oleason was In his llttlo office ,
hardly a stono's throw from the depot , with
the commlssloncrsof publlo works and police ,
ton stout laborers , armed with picks and
hummers , nnd six policemen. Qlcason turned
to his llttlo army nnd said :
"Got your axes nnd your hammers and
tear down nil those sheds , every one of them ,
nnd don't lot any man stop you. "
The mayor himself led the charge , and
struck the first blow at the shed. A lady
wanted to pin a boquot on his coat , but ho
would not lot her. The mayor lifted a pick ,
swung it back ana struck , with all the force
of his powerful arm , the prop of the first
shed. There wns n crashing nnd splintering
of wood , nnd the prop came down , bringing
the end of the shed with it. A roar went up
from the crowd.whlehcould almost bo heard
hi Now York. Then the mayor aim his men
hacked and tore away , some of them on thereof
roof , sotno dlgclng up the foundations and
seine carrying off the debris. The six police
men formed a cordon around the street to
keep the enormous crowd hack.
The mayor kept up a ru.nnng ! flro of com
ment : "That's right , Mike ; hit her again ;
knock that prop away ; that's one hindrance
less to honest people. Bully for vou , Bill ;
we'll ' show them the pcoplo own this town.
Give that post another rap. We've been run
long enough by the Long Island railroad.
Ilammnr nwny , boys , tooth nnd nail. "
Finally the whole line of sheds along Front
street for fully 800 feet was torn down and
scattered about the street. Mean
time the railroad had been send
ing out special trains in ovorv
direction to get a judge to Issue a warrant
for the arrest of Lonur Island City's mayor.
Finally one was found , but the miiyor vowed
ho would tear down all the buildings before
ho would stop permanently , and merely iul-
journod with the force for u time , to begin
again to-morrow.
Lute lust evening Mayor Glcason was
served with an Injunction to restrain him
from tearing up the tracks. IIo , in turn , hns
ordered the railroad ollleers to appear before
him August 1 to answer for violating the law.

Hawkeye : " "I'll hot I've got some of
the meanest neighbors a fellow over
had , " said nman yesterday to some half-
dozen loungers ; "they're always on the
borrow. Ono family in particular sends
every day or two for a cup of browned

inferior article. Wo'ro going to head

Jlnito BnUbfaction.
"Well , sir , " continued another , after
a pause , "my wife has a worse neighbor
than that. She moved in to our neigh-
hood about a month ago , and in a few
days borrowed a cup of sugar. When
she returned it it wasn't nearly so full.
After two or throe such experiences my
wife set the cup away , and when nho re
turned for another loan sent bank the
same quantity. It wns still lighter
when it rotuvnctl , nnd after two weeks
passing buck and forth my wife handed
it Out at last with less than a spoonful
