HIS CORRECT NAME IS CHARLES GORDON. Trio Murderer Brought Ftino to Tnoo With nil Old Acqimlmniico A. < 1- inlts Ills Identity A 1'c- uulinr Discovery. Not Ktl D. Neal but Charles Gordon J Securely nud well has murderer Neal kept liU real immo and family Identity concealed from the public during oil those long months whllo the thumb 8crc\vs of the law have been UgUtcnlnK , ever tightening , closer and. closer upon lilui. It Is only now na the wretched fellow stands In the dcopeulnp sluiJows of death vlth specters of the gallows , the coilln nnd the guard as his only companions that hi true immo Is learned. The story of how It became known contains features us singular as they are tutor- cstlng. . Onownrm Satnrday ovonlng about thrco ivecka OKO n Jowclor employed In ono of the leading Jewelry ostabllshincnts la this city Ima been down town limbing n few purchases vlth his wlfo. As they passoil Kesalor's gar den , rotuniing to their homo In the hand somest residence portion of South Eleventh street , they entered to enjoy n glass of 1cm- or.ado. Seating themselves at ono of the many Httlo tables , most of which were occu pied , this gentleman , who for the present wo will call Mr. French , happened to rcmnrk to his wlfo : "Well , it beiflns to look as If they were going to himir Is'cal , for Idou't believe ho will got u now trial. " Before Mrs. French could reply to her husband's ' comment , n young man , who was apparently nbout twenty-live or twenty-seven yeurs old , well dressed , after the style of n business umii , nlco appearing , nndvlio was n stranger to both Mr. nnd Mrs. French , turned toward Mr. French nnd said with grent enraestncs , : "That man's numo isn't'Nenl.1 forl'vo linown him for years nnd years. Ills father „ , is n doctor , his mother a mighty flue woman nnd he bus two brothers nud u sister ; onoof the b rot hois is a dentist and the other u business man. Ills sister Is married and sbo ami thU brother whom you call 'Ncal' look as much nllko M twins. They are a mighty nlco family nnd Hvo in Dunisldo , Hour Carthage , 111. This ono is the youngest In the family and ran away from homo four years ago with Sells' circus. Ho had got into a > ucraixj of some kind , And- " "Do toll us his right name , " iatomiptcd Mrs. French , who had become greatly Inter ested in the off-hand roiuniUsot the stranger regarding Neal. " \Vhy , certainly I will , " remarked tlio stranger. "Ilh numo is Charles Gordon. " "Charles Gordon , " repeated Mrs. Kpench , displaying great astonishment , "Charles ( lOrdon , son of Dr. Cordon Of Burnsldo , near Carthage , 1111 Why , I knew the family , know ( Jharllo Gordon , knew his sister , brothers nnd mother know them well , for I lived near them for years I" 1 The face of the stranger hocamo deathly pnlo. With n quick start ho arose from the table , nnd with a quivering lip exclaimed lu low toue.s ! "Aly God , what a strange coincidence. ! I'm sorry that 1'vo betrayed oven the identity Of my old friend. " Another moment nnd the stranger had left the place. Everything that , this stranger , mot by the merest chance , hud said regarding the Gor don , family of Uurusldt\ near Carthage , 111. , was vcrlllod to the letter tu Mrs. French's memory. At first sha thought she would visit the lall immediately and ace the so-callod Ed Neal to vrhoui her uttciitlon had uover bocu attracted more than Just incidentally us she had road of his trial. But for ono reason nnil another she delayed golnc to the Jnll until Sunday. As It has now become necessary for 11 per son to give some extraordinary good reason in order to lo admitted to the cell containing the steel cage In which Nc.il . iseonllncd , Mrs. French gave Juilor JVllllor a bilof sketch of the story stated above. Then It wai that a secret between Neal and .Taller Miller came out which never has been Imown bofoio outside thu walls of the county jail. jail.Mr. . Miller told Mrs. French that some time ago in a moment of confidence Neal had told him that his father and a brother were doctors , the brother a dentist , and that ho had another brother who win In business , and a sister whom ho , "JSd Neal , " rcsomblou vorv closely , Indeed. These two things Neal's statement to Wilier and Mrs. French's Icnowledgo of the family were enough in themselves to almost positively determine the matter. Mrs. French was admitted to Ncal's ' cell. "Mv first glance , " said sha yesterday In describing the meeting to a HER reporter , "was enough to convince mo that ho was Charlie Gordon. I looked him straight In the cyo for fully thrco minutes , .without speaking a word. Ho failed , honestly , I think , to remember mo , for you see It has been four years slnco wo met. and ladles change the dressing of their hair , change the style of hat or bonnet and their tollob genorally.K very great deal in four years. But ho looked nt mo very in tently Indeed. Finally I said as pleasantly as I could : " 'I believe they call you Mr. Ed Neal no w but they are mistaken , aren't they , Charlie 1' "You see I thought 1 would approach him with but his right llrst name atlirst. "Ho made no answer , but his face flushed up a little , aud hU look fairly burned upon mine'so intense was it. "Then I said Just as pleasantly as before ! " 'if they would call you Chnrlio Gordon , they would have your right nauio in full , wouldn't ' they I' "His face now hecomo D perfect crimson , nnd ho bit his lli until 1 thought upon my soul that the blood would UQIV from thorn. .An intense nervousness , which the gentlemanly - manly guard noticed and remarked upon , took control of-him nnd shook him as I uovor saw such a strong jnan shakea by his feeling In nil my life. Then his eyes became moist ivith tears , and , wheeling about ho turned his back upon the guard and mo. Another moment and he i-ocovercd himself , , slowly turned abuut nnd Idnking at mo said , with great effort at self control : " ' 1 must tell you that you nro mistaken. ' " Anil I will reply,1 said I , 'that I do not lilamo yon a particle , Charlie , for telling mo so ; but don't thiuk I came hereto torture you , but simply , if possible , pcrhaps/to tell you some news. " " 4\Vhat news , pleasol' said ho. " 'That 1 heard , indirectly , since your leav ing home with Sells' circus , nbout fcm * years ago , that your father has died. ' "He had recovered his nervy self-posses sion by this time and ho replied : I had not heard that but you are mis taken lu ma.1 " Then I will provo to you that I am not mistaken in j-ou listen,1 said I. " 'Your father was a physician V " 'Yes ; ' ho answered , stubbornly. " 'Ono of your brothew is adentUtV " 'Yes. ' " Your only sister resembles you very strikingly I' " 'Yes.1 " 'Your other brother , Will Gordon , Is a business man ) ' " 'Yes ma'am , ho Is. Now plcaso do leave mo , ' and the tears again glistened lu his eyes ; ho trembled from head to foot. " 'Just ono nioro question , ' said I. 'You attended college nt Carthage and played n cornet in the baud at llurmldo , 111. , didn't ' you I' " 'Yes , yes , ' and with his voice trembling with almost violent agitation , n tilth the guard again commented on , the poor fellow turned about , burying hU face in bis hands , slunk away into the fucthcrcst corner oC his cage. "I have written to his folks at Carthage , " said Mrs. French In conclusion , "and oxpuct to hoar from them in two or thrco days , for I think I should bo neglectingmy duty if I did not write. " To the above description of the mysterious stranger through whom the solving of the mystery of Noal's family identity came nbout Mrs. French added that ho was a very pro nounced blonde about 11 vo fo t nine and three- quarters laches in height aud with an unusually " " face. Aside from ally "good" appearing rc- membcrlnp : that ho seemed to bo dressed In n qnlot , jiorfect style , Mrs. French cannot de scribe the clothes that he wore. It is by a very urgent and exacting renucst that the name of this lady who has here boon called "Mrs. French" is withheld from publi cation. It Is suniclent , however , to state that she as well as her husband stand very high in the community.

Condition or the Crops In Three States The Conductors' Urotheiliood General Agent Phlltppo of the Missouri Pacific says that his company Is receiving n great many very discouraging reports about the cmdition of crops from many points along its various lines In Missouri and Kansas. The hot , dry weather has simply cooked every thing to death , and in localities where the outlook three weeks ago was most flattering , there is hardly nny thing left to cncourago the people. Missouri is said to bo in worse condition than Kansas , except in the western portion of that state. U'ho corn has curled up and is turning brown , the grass is dying out and small grain will not yield half a crop. How much differentia the condition of things in Nebraska. The freight department of the "Union Pacific road , also Supc lntcudciit Barr's oftlco , have just received returns from inquiries sent out ten days ago to nearly every station on the system in this stuto and they inalco in excellent showing. Takeu as a whole the prospects uro good for a bigger and hotter crop of com this year than last. A few sections west of Grand Island have not been blessed with quito enough rain to insure a full yield though not more than half n dozen of ttiomnny reports sent in speak of the outlook oa being poor. Some places the oat crop failed but whoever that occurred farmers turned the ground to better use by planting It in com. There is an Increased acreage of this product every where , iho stand is good and unloas the ele ments should seriously Interfere between now and the time for it to "shoot , " Nebraska will bo abundantly nblo next winter to sup ply her suffering neighbors with all they may want , A Palsd lloport. The sensational report nlada by a morning sheet about Master Moelunlb Ilobhlo of the Union Pacific having been discharged , has no foundation. In the first place there is no euch onlcial as Master Mechanic Hobbio , and la the second place the man occupying that position has never bocu informed that his services were no longer required , J. P. Hovcy is supposed to bo the man re ferred to. "If Middleton or his assistant , John Wilson , have decided to remove Mr. llovo\ , Bald "Vieo President Holcomb , when as Iced i about the matter yesterday , "they have not so in formed me. They would , ho w- ever , I urn very sure , consult mo before mak ing such a change. " Tlio Hrotlicrhiioil Divided. The conductors' committee appointed at Rochester last month to conduct negotiations looking toward federation with other labor organisations will probably hold a meeting hero sorno time lu August. It is understood that the brotherhood has already commenced to suffer serious results from action taken on this subject as well as the abolishment of the constitutional clause prohibiting strikes , Two or throe eastern divisions seceded im mediately after the annual convention ad journed and have taken , steps to organize a now brotherhood. Closes Taylor Division No , 1OJ of the Delaware , Laclcnwanna & , \Vestornroadwastbolirstto withdraw but the New York k .New Haven conductors quickly followed suit , aud at oncoinaugurated a new scheme to take from tlio brotherhood all of its members not In sympathy with the "freedom to strilto" Idea. They have held ono meeting In Is'ew York and will hold an other tils woelc. Calvin S. "Wheatoa of Kl- mlm , "was elected dresident and E. D. Nasli vice president. "Tho western conductors ; " said a knight of the punch , "aro watch ing this movement with considerable interest. Itloohrsas though wo are destined to have two organizations , bull don't Iwllovo tlioso secod- ors will succeed in injuring tlio old order very badly. " AV'nnts Tlicin to Show Up.
