An Attempt to Be Made To-day to Necure a Continaance, The trial of Dr. Cross for the shoot- ing and killing of Dr. MoKune is set for to.day in the district court, but it is by no means certain that a continuance will be grauted, or a change of venue taken, John N. Baldwin, one of the attorneys for the defente, has beon away for some time, and a telegram was re- coived from him Taesday, from Ken- tucky, atating that he was there ill, and could not reach here in time to attend to the case, and that he would send certifi cate of attendlug physician by mall, He desired that tno case should be con- tinued. There are associated with him for the defense, Judge Hubbard, of Ce- dar Rapids, George T. Wright and - Mr. Haldene, and the court may conclude that the defendant has enough attorneys to look after his intereats without waiting for Mr, Baldwin, he prosecation, ropresented by Sapp & Pusey and Col. Daily will doubtless resist ali attompts to get a con- tinuance. It is claimed that the expense of summoning the seventy-five jurymen on the special venire amounts to §1200 or more, with the other attendant costs, and it seems that this cost ought not to be in- incurred for nothing, unless some urgent reason arises for a contlnuance, 1t is understood, too, that the defense has not received yot a very important deposition from the eastin support ot Dr. Cross’ reputation while living thero. This may also be urged as a reason for a continu- ance. The case excites much interest here, and it may be felt that there is too much prejudice against De. Cross here, although there does not seem to be any waves of passion sweeping over the com- munity jeopardlzing the chances of his having a fair trial here. o e— Dr. C. C. Hazen, Dentlat, 100 Maln st.

A Little Smash.up in the Yards a Malvern, From the Leader the following details are learned concerning the accident at Malvern: About 4:45 o’clock Monday mcraing a collislon occurred in the Wabash yards at this station, between two - freight extras. The trains had orders to meet here, and the one from the east, which which pulled in first, inmaking the sid- ing for the other train to paes, got the whoels of the car next the tender off the rails just whero the switch left the main track. Hardly had this oc- curred when the western train came thundering in, Taking in the situation, Night Operator Oliver ran up the track and attempted to flag the in-coming train, The engineer called for brakes, but the head brakeman is said to have been asleep; he then tried to reverse his englne, but could nut throw her back. At this juncture, seeing a collision inevitable, the trainmen all jumped and the dowa train crashed into helpless one standing at the awitch. Both engines were more or lees disabled, and the two first cars of each train con- siderably demoralized, two cars of each being thrown from tho'track. Several rails were broken, and altogether it was a morry looking sight that presented it- self when daylight came. A force of men with a wrecker were putat work, and by noon the track was cleared and ropaired so that tralos could run as usual. TRICKY TRAVELLER. Mow Gambling and Fast Life Brought a Commercial man Behind the Bars, Yesterday a young man of rather pleas- Ing address, and gentlemanly appearance was arrested and placed in the olty jail. He gave his name as L. Jerome, and this appears to be no alias, It will be remembered that a farmer lately Jot $300 or so on Broadway, it droppirg from his pocket. It is olaimed that Jeromefound it and kept ifor his own purposee, losing it in gambling and other waye. An Omaha merchant was over here yesterday, also wanting Jerome. From him it is learned that Jerome has been travelling for an Obio drug house, but was discharged last fall, after that he borrowed some money in Omaha on the strength of still being connected with the house, and a little later got a draft cash- ed on a Cincinuati firm, It Is aiso eald that he pawned his trunk and overooat and jumping his board bill of $33 then came to this side of the river.

Santa Fe Cor, New York Sun, “‘Eight or nine_years ago when this road was opened we used to meet o good many queer people. There are queer ones going over the line now, but more of them then, The second or thi-d train that Iran out of Pueblo for the east had an old fellow aboard who took me into his eonfidence. He wore his hai long, and his beard was gray and shaggy When I went through the t'ain the first time, he offered me his ticket, a through one, and at the same time his bottle. I punched the ticket and t mall drink from the flask, After that every time I came through he would hand up the flask with a smile, but I declined to drink.any more. Finally he persuaded me to sit down by his side. We had a_long run ahead without stops and the time was hanging rather heavy on ny hands. I made up my mind years ago,’ he sald, ‘thav I would never go back east un- til I could go in a chariot, and now I am a-going just as a_white man ought to go. Have a drink? Itlldo you good, I've been out here twenty years with the In- dians, chosing them part of the time and putt of the time they chasing me. I've mined it from one end of thedivide to the other, just scimming over the surface. 1've found mor'n fifty prospects where a man with a little dust can get rich in a year. I've got my pocket fall of specl- mene, and I'm going down to my old home in York State to aee if I can't raise enough funds to come out here and work some of these. There’sold man Chad- wick—he's rich; and Jim Gillett’s two boys must be growed up by this time, ond probably got the farm; and then there's my old man’s relativga over at the corners, and any number ofothers. I'm just going to open their eyes to something if this charlot don’t break down., Why, T've been waiting for this train of cars four or five years, and it can’t go too fast to suit me. ~ Here's a picce of silver that 1 took from a prospect down in Arizona, What do you think ofit? Well, stranger, you can how that out of the ground by the pailfull where 1 got that, and there’s more of 1t covered up than there is on the surface.’ “I began to be Interested. I had heard of big stories cff south, and here was evidence if the old chap was'nt lying that he had discovered the location of a deposit of fabulous value. Itold him that 1 had some money—I did have about £4,000 in those days, though I haven't got it now—and that if that would do any good, and I could get a share in the stake he could have it all. He soemed grestly pleased. “47'll not go bome just yet,’ says he, ‘I'll wait a while. T'll go down richer'n old Chadwick when Ido go,, and I'll eling silver bricks at all the windows in town. How fardo you run? I'll get oft with you.” 3 “I told him, and he agreed to say nothing, but to leave the train when the new gang came on. .Justas we got to tho end of the division I jumped on the vlatform and looked for the old man, but as he did not come out I bosrded the train again to call him. . Coming up be- hind him I thought at first he was asleep, but I soon discovered that it was death. His head was resting on his bosom and in one of his hands he held the silver nugget. We removed him to the depot and I gotasort of a horse dooter there to examine him, but he only said he must have dled of heart disease. Before we burried him I searched all his pockets, the lipings of his coats and vest, and his old satchel, but I couldn’t find a thing that would throw any light on the location of his prospects ~Nor could I learn Lis exact address at first, but from some memoranda found in his pockets I afterwards made a guessat it and came out right. 1 discovered that he had a brother and some nephews living, and to them I eent the nuggets and a few other articles of value which he had on his per- son. 1 got a leave of absence as soon as I*could and in company with tvo or three friends I made an attempt to locate the place where he found the silver but his descelption of it had been o imperfect tnat I could not find it. After spending $2,000 in prospecting without avall I gave it up, One year after that mines were opened a little to one side of the place I had gone to first, and having visited tnem since, I am sure that they were first discovered by the old man whom I met.” “‘Were they rich?"” asked the miner. “‘Well, yes, to some extent, they were, The men who gobbled them up took $800,000 out of them the first year, and they have not been starving since then.” “*That was a pretty hard plece of luck for the old man, wasn't it?" said the cat< tleman, thoughtfully, The condustor rose up, looked at his watch and sald. **Idon’t know 8o much about the old man, for he dled and didn't need any silver; but it is galling to me, for I'm here to fee! sore over it every time I see a silver quarter.” o — The secretary of the treasury has re. ceived a lotter from a resident at Rigs, Ruesia, incloslog 8100 mote of the Confoderate States'which helssys he in- herited from his uncle, and which he wants exchanged for currency, e — In the past season Montana hasshipped sast 70,600 head of beef cattle, 3,040 iressed beevos, 20,000 sheep and 400 horses snd mules There were In the ame period 08,210 cattle shipped into Montana, [ THE MAN'S IDENTITY LOST. A Mistake Cansing Years of Supposed Widowhood, Burying a Body as, that of Her Hus. bend, Who Long After Re. turneds Alivo and Rte- tormed, New York Letter, The telegram from Schenectady in Sunday's Times, reporting a singular dispute as to identity that has arisen there in the osse of Frank Baker, his wife burrying a body which she bolieved to bo that of her husband, who, it is now asserted, is still alive and well, rocalls a romance In real life. The details were given in a Deloware newspaper in Sep- tembor. 1881, but probably failed to at- tract general notice at that time, owing to the fact that general attention was ab- sorbed by daily reports of the condition of President Gatfield, who then lay dying at Elberon, The story was a romantic one, and involved a case of mistaken identity just such as is raised in the Schenectady case. In 1866 Thomas L. Patterson, a young man of good family, in Wilmington, Del,, married Miss Kato Rice,, a beauti ful daughter of Edward L. Rice, of that city. ‘wh~ young couple moved to Balti- more, where Mr, Patterson had secured a lucrative position, and for somo years lived most happily, during which time a child was born to them. Unhapplly, however, the convivial customa of the Marryland city led the young husband into habits of dissipation which wrecked the happiness of their home, and caused Mr. Rice finally to interfere and threaten to take his daughter home. One night, about five years after their marriage, yonng Patterson, in a fit of desperation and remorse, bade his wife and child good-bye, and declared they should never see or hear of him again until he had overcome his unfortunate habit and made & new nome for them. The heart- broken wife went back to her father's home in Wilmington, taking her daught er with her. About a year after this there appeared in the newspapers an ac- count of the death of an unknown stranger from an overdose of laudanum at | a hotel in Erie, Penn. The description of the dead man applied so close to the missing Mr. Patterson that some one cut it out and sent it to Mrs. Patterzon, who inslsted on an immediate investigation. It appeared from the newspaper report the dead man was broken down in health and puffering from insomnia, probably caused by intemperance. Whether he had committed suicide or merely taken an overdcse of laudanum could not be told. The missing Thomas L. Patterson had two brothers—John OC., the present United States District Attorney for Del- aware, and Samusl. There was a strong tamily resemblance botween thom, and Samuel was, a8 his friends put it, *the living image of Tom.” Samuel went to the hotel in Erle, and, while registering his name, overheard one of the servants remarking on his resemblance to the man who had recently died there. Hs had carried with him & photograph of his misslng brother, and this was recognized by the poople about the hotel as a picturs of the deceased. He had one farther test which, he regarded 'as conclusive. He knew that his brother, while a boy, had had the letters *‘T. L. P.” picked into hig arm with India ink. When the body was exhumed, the letters *L. P.” were found on the arm, with a scar just in front of them. Samuel Patterson con- cluded that his brother had obliterated the ““T.” in some way to aeslst him in keeping his vow that he would never 2gain be heard of if he did not succeed in overcoming his habit of intemperance. The identification was therefore regarded as complete, and the body of the dead man wag taken to Wilmington and de- posited in the Rice family vault. Mrs. Patterson bitterly mourned her husband’s miserable death and lived on as a widow in her father's house, and though still young and handsome she remained true to hor husband’s memory, going little into society. In November 1880, a gentleman in Wilmington, who was an intimate friend of all tho persons who had stood up with Tom Pattorson at his wedding and after- ward assisted in carrying his body to the tomb, received to his amazement a letter from Thomes L. Patterson asking in. formatton concerning his wifo and child, The recipient cf the letter wes enjoined to secrecy, the writer declaring that in in case his wife had married again, he would never allow any one else in Wil- mington to becomo awaro of his contin- ued existence. But, astonished as the young man was at the roceipt of a letter from & man he thought he had helped carry to: the grave 10 years before, ho could not but believe that it was really from Tom Patterson. He answered prowptly that Mrs, Patterson was living a8 8 widow and that her daughter was now a bright girl of 11 yeare; but before taking any steps to inform her or her family of the continued existence of her husband, the gentleman asked for farther information, Ho quickly re- ceived a reply from Mr. Patterson which banished all remalning doubt as to his identity from the young man’s mind. In- closed was a letter to Mrs. Patterson, giviog her an account of her husband’s Iife during his separation from her. From this it appeared that, on leaving Baltimore, he had gone to Texas, where he finally bacame successfully engaged in cattle raising, He by this means acquir- ed enough capital to enable him to en- gage in the then lucrative business of teaming across New Mexico. In this he also prospered, and he felt sufliciently recuperated in health and fortune to war- rant him in once more offering his wife and child & home. He still felt the sting of her father's bitter reproach, that he had dragged his daughter from a home of luxury to ore of misery and want. The letter was glven to a messenger to carry ‘across the plains to the nearest mall statlon. It received no answer, for, as was afterwards found, it never reached its destination. Patterson after long walting concluded that his wife had been persuaded to have nothing more to do with him. While in this condition of mind lodians swooped down on him, de- stroyed or carried oft all his property, and took Patterson himself a prisoner across the line with them to their camp in Mex- ico. They held him a prisener for more than a year, but he finally escaped and returned to civilization, broken in health and spirits, an absolutely penniless man, He was unwilling to make any new at- tempt to gain tho attention of his wife, to whom he could only return, if he return- ed at all, s begger. He mansged, h ever, gradually to work his way north- ontil he finally reached the home of some former friends in Wisconsin, on the shores of Lake Superior, He was kindly recelved and cared for, and ther, when his health had been restored, he began again his fight for fortune and -ummsed in establishing himself in sucoceesful busi- ness. He had also overcome complotely the habit which had fiest brought him to grief, and #o he coneluded to make an- other effort to secure reunion with his wifo and child, He suppoted, of course, that she was still unmarrled, unless she had been prevailed upon to obtaln a di. vorce on the ground of desertion. He had no idea that he was supposed to be dead and buried. He accordingly wrote to his friend in Wilmington for Informa. tlon, before Informing his wife of his ocontinued existence. The correspondence resvited in Mr. Patterson's return to Wilmington, where he was warmly received by his wife and fully recognized by his brothers and all who had ever known him. Some montha later he took his wife and child tu his new home on the shore of Lake Saperior, whero they still live, and where Mrs, Patterson’s relatives, who rather reluc tantly aurrendered her once more to her husband, acknowledge that the happl. ness that character/z3d the fow years of marrled life in Baltimore has been com- pletely renewed. The body which for ten yedra lay In Mr. Rice's family vault, bearing on its coffin lid a plate declaring it to be that of Thomas L. Patterson,was romoved and decently interred in anoth- er part of Wilmington and Brandywine cemetery, where it stlll remains that un known man who died in a hotel at Erle, and who has seemingly never been missed by kith or kin in all the fourteen years that elapsed since his death. Who he could have been is still a question with those familiar with the facts in thin strange case of mistaken identity. e —— A SONGSTER'S STORY. tucky Mocking Bird, Philadelphia Times.

He is a liero and a martyr. He was taken captive whilo trying to avenge the greatest wrong that could be done a bitd. Il tell you the story and I giv you my word it is absolutely true in cv particular. “‘Last May, a yeoar agd} I took advant- age of a trip to the southwest to spend a fow days at the farm of a cousin in Ken- tucky, a few miles from Louisville. It waus delightful weather and the country was beavtiful. The first morning when I awoke I heard the varled notes of a mocking bird, and looking out of the window I saw the songster himself. ““He was perched on the highest point of the barn, pouring out melcdy with all his soul. The children had told me all about him the night before, and I knew that his nest, with four little ones in it, was on the top of a plle of vines that had grown over an old rail fence abouta hun- dred yards beyond the barn. There also eat his mate, and no doubt she was listen- mg tohts son. Presently he flaw over his nest singing and capering as he went, and alighted on the top of a dead tree that stood about 200 yards away. Here he continued hiseong, and after a few minutes he flew back to the barn. All music and 1 spent most of the time watching and listening. Of course the family, and especially the children, were greatly attached to the birds and the in- terest taken in the young ones in the nest was intense. . “There were two dogs on the place— an intelligent, long-haired English setter and a mischievous black-and-tan terrier. Late in the afterncon, when all the family, including myeelt, were sitting in the shade in front of the house, we heard the birds making a great commotion at thelr nest. The children, fearful that somothing was happening to them, ran to see, and I followed, Perched on the top of the vine-heap and wagging his tail ex- citedly was the little dog, and, gazing up wide-mouthed from below, was the other. The birds were flattering in distress first at one and then at the other, and even when we came up they hovered clote above their home. 1t was ruined. Tho terrier had killed three of the young ones, and the fourth lay dead in front of the setter. The children cried as if their hearts were breaking, and 1 gave the doge a thorough thrashing, The setter slunk away, and I have no doubt under- stood why he had been punished, “‘The next morning there wasno music of course. The female bird was not to be seen at all. She had probably hidden herself away with hersorrow, but John Snllivan—that's the name of my bird— was perched at the old place on the roof. He was silent but alert. Presently the setter dog came from the barn and trot- ted toward the house. At sight of his enemy the bird rufiled his feathers, as he does now when enraged, and without hes- itation ¢ flow to the atiack. With cries and a great fluttering he flow in the dog’s face, and did his utmost to harm him. Of course, he merely startled the dog, and even this advrutage lasted only a minute, *‘I cried to the dog in tne hope of pre- venting him from seizing his little as- ssilant, but it was In vain, for Don had retrieved many a wounded quail, and live feathers were a keen temptation to him. An instant later the mocking-bird was fluttering between two strong jaws. I ran to the rescue, but expected to find only the mangled remains of the song ster. Instead I took him from Don's mouth entirely unharmed. Tne dog had been trained to retrieve witnout ‘mouth- ing’ the birds, and he had held his cap tive with only necessary force,” “You cffered the bird his freedom, didn't you?"” **I felt impelled to do so at first, and perhaps 1 should have done so; but to keep such a songster and such a hero was too gre a temptation, So John Suollivan came home with me and I shall keep him until he dies,” *‘What did the children ssy?” “I did not tell any one I had the bird, Months afterward I wrote, telling the whole story. but I stepect they did not believe it. It is the truth, nevertheless.” e — — Another proof of the eternal fitnees of things: The President of the F' Na. tional bank of Oolumbus, O, s named Moneypenny. —— The past season Montana shipped 1,268,034 pounds of wool, an increase of 489 809 pounds over the shipment of 1883, e —— The pedestrian fover has strack Paris, but the walking is done out of doors, as it used to be hero in Weston's time, It is quite the pastime there on pleasant Sundays.

They see the storm of popular indignation coming, and bend, to avoid its force. They say: We of course are anti-monopolists, we want railroad regulation, but this regulation must bo a nice and soft thing, that the riltoads will not feel The great and good temperance deme crat, Dr, Miller talks that way in his Herald, and The Kepublican, the railroad toc 1 republican persuasion, assists him in his attempt, to shicld the railtoads The Republioan’s argument is that the grain rates to Chlosgo are fixed by an agreement between the roads of Ne braska, lowa and Illinois, that the rates in these other states are not controlled by onr legislature, and that it would be unfalr to nako our railways bear the entire burden.

An examination of this raflroad agree- ment probably will show, that the Nebraska roads get the lion's share of the freight, as there 1s no reaton to be- lieve, that they suddenly have given up their old practice of charging three times as high froights as the other roads did. The railroads caunot sensibly object to a publication of their agraement, though they greatly prefer secrecy. Some of our legielators ought to tike tmmediate steps, in order to secure such joint action of those legislatares. The railroad organs ought to remem- ber also, that they are not entitled to narrow down tho question at lssue to grain rates, The Nobraska railroads overcharge us on everything they haul. Their charges for every car of lumber, lime, agricultur- al implements, salt, flour, nails and for every other article, hauled trom the Misgouri river to Grand Island, a dis- tance of 150 mlles, is in the average just a8 high as the freight charges by other roads for the same carload or package of goods from Chicago, St. Louis, Ohio, or northern Wisconsin to Council Bluffs, a distance of at least 500 miles. In other words all the freight rates of our Ne- braska railroads are in the average thres times as high as the rates of other roads. Nobody has ever accused these other ng their own interests so as to charge too low rates, and we be- s nobody ean justly bring such a ” inst them.
