Many prophesied that Finm would be beaten at the Polls, owing to his radical anti-monopely roc ord, but he has led his ticket handsomcly i his district and carries it by fully 1,000 ma- ority. In Polk county the contest was ex- remely bittor on legistative candidates. The ruilroads, insurance companies and other cor- porations furnished unlimited boodle to elect thie independent ticket, and it was dispensed with a lavish hand. 'A. B. Cummins, the Rock Island attorney, succeeded in pulling through by some 200 majority, butthe combine were unable to defeat Hon. J, G. Berryhill, the gailant anti monopoly leader of the last house.

A correspondent of Das Handels-Mu- seum of Vienna says that for centuries Zouzibar was the chief mart of ivory, which was formerly brought partly from the interior. But with the i ased consumption and value of that article, clepbunts are being extorminated and have to be sought far in the in- terior to the west of Tanganyika and northwest of Victoria Nyanza. The ief trading center in the interior is ara, in Myamwesi, where various van routes meet. The practice at nt is for Indlan traders to equip a wan in Zanzibar and place it in o of an experienced and trust- worthy Arab, who tukes it from Baga- moyo, opposite Zanzibar, to Taqara. L he finds enowgh ivory there he exchanges goods which he has brought for the purpose, and starts oun the roturn jour- ney: but, as a rule, the caravan has to go further, and by the information he reeei from returning caravans the conductor judges where he can go with most chance of speedy success. - Large quantities of ivory are usually in the hands of native chiefs, with whom it is a kind of treasure, and sometimes, it is said, the Arab conductors, who are usually accompanied by well-armed es- corts, will make waron a chiel, seize his ivory, and sell his people into slavs b cunnot be used, the trader must patiently purchase small quantities from time o time as oceasion arises, and sometimes he is forced to wait for years in the interior before he can part with all his rchandise and obtain his loads of ivor 'he greater llurv, of the ivory a in Zanzi- jur in July and August; the Indian merchants go 0 Bagmoyo to meet their conductors, and then a settlement take place. The cost of the caravan, with 15 per cent per annum, is charged to the Arab, the Indian takes the ivory.sells it on account of the Arab,and pays the latter the balance. Arrived in Zanzi- bar, the ivory is either sent by the Indian merchants direct to Bombay or to London, or it is sold to Hamburg or American merchunts on the spot. The trade, therefore, is wholly in the hands of Indian merchants; but the advantage of having agents of European merchants in Tabara to purchase ivory system- atically and forward it to the coast has been discussed in Zanzibarand one Hamburg firm there decided to i A caravan under two ier- mans was despatched to Tabara, where one was to remain to es- tablish abranch. while the other pushed on to Uganda, so as to be able to pur- chase at first hand.

Unkind Words From Home and an iicit Amour the Cafise—His Last Request—Thicves Captured. A Sad Suicide, About 7 o'clock last eveninge when R G Milligan, a student at Yhe Omahn Business college, went into his room at 1411 Howard street, he found his room-mate and fellow student, Joseph J. Stegner, lying on the floor. On lightinga lamy Milligan was almost frozen with hovror at the fearful sight that presented itself. His late companion was stretehed out dead, with his features ghastly and distorted, and his brains and blood drip- ping from a wound over the right temple. He lay in front of the mirror, and by his side was found a thirty-cight-calibre revolver with two cartridges exploded. About this time another one of the students, William G. Stadclman, came up, and both boys, horror- stricken with the sight, rushed from the room. y The coroner was summoned, and an exam- tion of the body showed that Steg- ner had been dead probably over an hour. The news spread among the friends and fel- low studoents of the suicide, and a large num- ber of them hurried to the scene unableto be- lieve the report. Only a few hours before they had secn him apparently as buoyant ns ever. One of them remembered that lie had snid that he would have to stop going to school op account of lack of means. He had told another that yesterday was his last day at school, but the hearer never dreamed the full meaning of his words. Stegner was a young man of about twenty- two and has been endeavoring to educate himself. He lived near Avoca, in this state, but it is said that things at home bad been made very disagreeable for him by his step- fatuer, Charles Strabel, who had done all in his power to stifle the ambition of the young man. Over a year ago Joseph left bome to come to Omaha, and six weeks ago he en- tered the business college her His spare time he spent in waiting in Stewart's restaur- ant, at No. 421 South Ileventh street,and the proprietor speaks of him in the highest terms Young Steguer had entered the school with the expectation of securing somo $300 or $400 which he had loancd his step- father, 'but he was unsuccessful in collecting it and determined to pursue his studies anyway. by working outside of sciiool hours. He had been encouraged by Prof. M. G. Rohrbaugh, president of the colleze, who was greatly pleased with the progress Steg- ner waus makiug and had even offered to loan him money. Yesterd: tegner received a letter from home in which he was refused the money he had loaned his stepfather. He sat down and wrote the letter herewith g as a reply, and after sealing and add ing it to his mother left it on the table. The letter is in German, and the translation of it here given shows the cause of the suicide: Omana, Neb, Nov. 14.—Dear mother: T just received your discoaraging letter, and my hand is shaking soon account of some un- expected news that 1 am almost unable to write. Oh, dear mother I net this. How littie do you only knew what is before me, and how honest iny intention was, you wonld certainly not have written as you did. You sa; your husband declares my letter to be nothing but i and you chide me for asking for my hard-carned momey. That may be all well, May God forgive you and me. My whole fut is based on this thing, Aund besides this you take me for a real fool for refusing me as you have. Dear mother, you said fo me I should never bring any shame your head, ouly once shull I e shame you, and then you shall never suffeér another sorrow on my account, as God ismy witness. Dear mother, I will not make any complaints against you, because if you reflect you wilt forgive me freely. I-had no father with whom r could converse and talk about my future. I have done the best 1 could for myself, and what J -have tried to do towards elevating myseif you have op- posed. Your husband, you kpow, always ated me, and he is mainly instrumental in bringing this trouble, and he will have to answer for the consequence. Dear mother, how can you take such a position against mel I am distressed ana hardly know what I am writing. Dear mother and dear Gretchen, you swoet little sister, when you read this T will be no more. Oh, how I wish thatI could see you and give you a good bye kiss, For the first time in years the hot tears are running down my cheeks. To think t have to leave my mother, my little sister without a kiss. This is dreadful, but God wills it thus. Oh, little sister, I meant well with you in my heart, had I only succeeded with my intentions to establish myself in business. Dear mother, one thing I would lay on your heart. O, mother, do this for me, and I will thank you when we shall meet in another world. And T would beg father to do the same favor for me. I forgive you all. A brave, unfortunate German girl is with child by me. Oh, mothor, take care of her is m, last wish before I die. I meant well with her, and had I been in right circumstances, she never should suffer. I had bright pros- pects for the future, but now I can donothing for her, For me there is no hope in this life. May God have mercy on me, and, dear mother, take the girl to your home, when the time comes for her to be delivered of her child. It will be some time in May next. Care for her because she has mo home. Remember what you do for her will be done for me. Mother, this is my last request. Write to her as soon as you can, otherwise you might not find her, as she is very shy. God will reward you for your deed. The address is Miss Mary ——, — —— street, Lincoln, Neb.

Some days ago McCracken took it into his head that a trio of fellows who lurked about the drinking places of the city, spent money with a lavish hand, rolled over the pavements in the best of livery equipages procurable and won favor with young and unsophisticated girls whom they waylaid on the streets, were of the dishonest fraternity. The gang made the saloons of the side streets their headquarters, and their principal abode of entertainment for girls, whom they picked up on the streets, was a saloon on Thirteenth street. Expensive wines were none too good for the fellows and their newly made female acquaintances, and they spent money with a lavishness that cheered the heart and swelled the receipts of the proprietor of the place, James Eaton, alias ‘“Reddy,” was the masher of the gang and a few days ago he met a Miss Dean, daughter of Henry Dean, of Eleventh and Jzard street, The foolish young girl, ignorant of the true character of the man who sought her chance acquaintance and so- ciety, accompanied him to the Thirteenth stroet saloon and drank a glass of wine with him. “Reddy” was there well under the in- fluence of stimulauts and he suggested to Miss Dean a ve. She accepted the invita- tion, “Reddy” procured a spanking turnout, but his maudlin condition would not permit of travel without accident and the buggy broke down. Frightened over the mishap and partially ashamed of her conduct, Miss Dean hurried to her home, only to be fol- lowed soon after by ‘‘Reddy" with a much more pretentious team and carria Again the girl succumbed to is solicitations to @ drive, and the Leads of the spirited hovses were turned toward Flor- ence.

Shaw was ulso well supplied with money aud @ gold watch, The prisoners refused to tell how they came in possc of 80 large a sum of money, much valuablo jewelry. They were detained in custody, and a charge of vagranoy was entered up against them. McCracken continued his investigations, and yesterday was rewarded in finding owners for the jewelry found in possession of the thieves, The firm of Jensen & Co., jewel corner of Thirtoenth and Harney strects, ntified the watches and rings as a portion of the prop- erty stolen from their store.

Their joy was unbounded. Though considerably changed, after so |m!\|u' years, they easily recognized each other. No time was lost in visiting the old home and a family reunion arranged to celebrate the occasion. Accordingly about 125 relatives from all parts of the country met last evening at Young's hotel, and forseveral hours discussed an elaborate spread and talked over old times.

She could not move it and screamed for help, and while some men were running to heraid, Mrs, Hauser, with great presence of mind, removed the éarth from her boy’s face so that he would fot smother, The earth was soft and the log had forced the body down into it, otherwise he would have been killed in an instant. ‘When the log was rolled back the little fellow was limp and unable to utter a word.

The Miles river, for thus the St. Michael’s has slipped its consonants, says the New York Sun, isone of those broad salt water streams, the home of the oyster, crab, terrapin, and wild duck, that pierce the peninsula of the eastern shore of Maryland until there is scarcely so much land water. This pact of the peninsula is called Talbot county. A tongue of land thrusts itselfout into the riv There is a tasteful boat-house and pier, beside which a yacht lies moored. Above the thickly set trees a square red tower, capped with white, indicates the site of *“The Villa"—such is the distinction of the name of the place in the country. As with families, so it is with land. Some tracts undergo a quiet, humdrum existence from century to century, others are as full of affairs as a bailiff. This tongue of land, with its neighbor- ing estate, is one that seems to be inex- tricably woven into the fate and for- tunes of men. In 1661 occurred in Boston the memorable trial of Wenlock Christison, for the crime of being a Quaker, of which the quaint old volumes of Besse gives so full a stol Having been exiled, ho returned to Boston to protest against the murder of a fellow Quaker named Leddra, where he was seized by & mob headed by the Rev. Seabury Cotton, elub in hand. Chr tison had a robust tongue of his own, and after his trial was, with other Quakers, condemned to death by Gov- crnor Endicott. The day before the ex- ccution came the pardon of the king, and the prisoners were released, the governor being obliged to satisfy him- self with whipping two of the men through the streeots. Wenlock Chistison then emigrated to Maryland, taking advantage of the re- ligious toleration extended by the Cal- verts, Here, in 1661, he obtained a grant of land from Lord Baltimore, in- cluding this tonguoe on which the villa stands. He became one of the sub- stantial men of the colony, and the late criminal took an important part in the house of burgesses, of which he was a member., The descendants of the Christisons here dwelt in peace and prosperity, and in time the cstate fell into the hands of Isaac Atkinson, who had married into the family of Christison, and their house of old English bricks remuins in part upon the land until this day. After the Christisons bad married, borne and died, the family gradually dwindled away, and the estate passed into the hands of Richard France. Richard France was the lottery king of Matyland. The state recognized and legalized the business, and Richard France waxed rich and prosperous. He built a palace (the word is used ad- visedly), on Mount Vernon square, and he bought an estate on the Eastern Shore. Here he built “The Villa,” with its red tower overtopping tho trees. In magnificence nothing in the vicinity rivalled it. There were wind- ing walks and fountains, rich vases and marble statuary,glass houses and every- thing else ' that money could buy to make complete a gentleman’s country seat. It was the wonder of all the country roundabout, overshadowing *The Anchorage,” the seat of Commo- dore Lowndes, and ‘The Rest,” the beautiful home of Admiral Buchanan, confronting one another on the river just below. So enviable was the prosperity of Richard France that a man named Broadbent set up an illict lottery known as the “Lottery Policy Company,” which in time made such inroads into Richard France's business that he was forced to admit Broadbent into partner- ship. Then Broadbent also waxed rich and prosperous, and built him a superb placo beyond the limits of Charles street, a place now owned by the Per- rotes, But the conscience of Maryland bad become tender. In time the lottery license to Richard France was revoked, He then, with Broadbent, went to Dela- ware, which, being a small state, he with great simplicity, bought up the legislature. ‘This was not in each case a private sale. One of the members also had a tender conscience. For him Richard France built a_church, where his constituents worshiped for many a year, Then Delawaro in its turn became sensitive to the enormity of the lottery ' and revoked the licenso of Richard France. Meanwhile Broadbent had been Ylumlcring tho business with a rapid hand. It became necessary to buy up other states. In this effort Rich- ard France failed. Baffled and plun- dered, when the lottery king came to take stock of himself and his be- longings he found he was in debt every- where and a ruined man. Going back to Delaware in the desperation of his affairs, his person person was seized for debt, and he died there in prison and a pauper. In the wreck the Villa was sold to Henry May, of Baltimore, This wns before the late war. In his hands the career of the place was renewed. It was still the finest place for milesabout, and again were renewed the scenes of hospitality and of luxury which distin- guished the old Maryland days. Then the war broke out. With great shrewd- ness Henry May immediately invested his fortune in_gold. His broker was a banker named Carson in Baltimore. All went well until the surrender of General Lee, when gold declined and swept Henry May along with unfulfilled mar- ins. ¥ But betweon him and ruin stood the broker, Carson. He, abandoned by May, went down in the crash. In vain he called upon his client to protect him. A suit was brought, and, against the feelings and temper of the community, it was won by Henry May. The broken Carson never recovered, but died a few months aflter, literally of a broken heart. Henry May returned to Baltimore, but his old friends turned away their faces. An isolated, ostracised man, he returned to the villa, and in a few months he, too, died, it is said, out of | pure chagrin. The villa was then bought by a young man named Randall, who, with his young and gay wife, more than revived ils old reputation for luxurious hospital- ity. The fun was fast and furious, and with it slipped away the great fortunc | to which Raodall had fallen heir. In a fow years, utterly ruined, Randall was obliged to give up the villa, and now. it is said, lives a humble life as a railrond employe, while his wife supports herself in some feminine vocation, The villa was then bought by a man from Greenwich Point,as it is known ia neighbors time left this of lif the way.
