KILLED BY CAES.
An Unknown 2VZan Throws Himself in
Pront of a Moving Train and is In-
stantly Killed.
Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, an unknown man
threw himself in front of a moving train of cars, on
the Tex*s-!Iexiean road, and was struck bj' the
cow-catcher. His skull was horribly crushed, and
hte !>od> was badly bruised and mangled.
Justice Braman was notified and proceeded to
hold an inquest. The following is a copy of the
coroner's record:
At an inquest held this 15th September, 1883, at
the Round-house of the Texas-Mexican Railway
company, corner avenue H and Thirtieth street,
in the city and county of Galveston, upon the body
of , the following jury of inquest was
duly impaneled and sworn, viz:
I>an McCormick, Valle Le Clere. Jas. McNulty.
Tom McGovern, Pat O'Connor. John Hollan.
Wm. F. Galbraith, sworn: About a quarter past
12 o'clock to day, as the freight train on the Nar-
row-Gauge road was coming ease, I stepped to the
window of the Round-house to count the number
of cars coming in, as I usually do. I happened to
look east just before the train came up to the
Round-house, when I saw deceased walking be-
tween Twenty-ninth and Thirtieth streets, iu the
direction of the Round-house. He came as far as
Thirtieth street, and started to go^ip Thirtieth,
going north. I then turned toward the approach-
ing train, and nodded to the fireman, who was
sitting in the window ringing the bell and
looking out, and I commenced counting the cars.
When about two cars had passed me I looked toward
til ' engine and saw deceased kneel down in front
of the engine and put his two hands on the track,
he then turned his head round with his face to the
east and from the engine, and at that moment the
cowcatcher struck him and threw himarouud and
off the track. I called to the engineer to stop, and
just as the tngine struck deceased the engineer
blew three sharp eall^ for brakes, and the train
stopped when i.ear Twenty-ninth ^treet. 1 then
tele phoned |at once for the coroner, ' I am master
mechanic of this division of the Texas-Mexican
Railway company, and was on duty here at the
r Hind-house to-day when the deceased came to his
death. I xlo not recognize deceased: never saw
him before. It is my opinion, from what I saw,
that deceased deliberately committed suicide.
Albert Massey, sworn: To-day as the Narrow-
gauge train was coming in from west I was sitting
in the window of ^ir. Le Clere's kitchen. As the
train came by the round-house I saw deceased run-
ning toward the engine. He made a jump, as I
thought to jump across the track, and at that mo-
ment. I heard the whistle blow, and 1 knew that the
engine had struck him. I did not see deceased when
the engine struck him, as the engine was between
us. I then went out to the track and saw deceased
lying close by the track ns he now lies.
Michael Andrews, sworn: I recognize deceased
as the same partv that I saw this morning about 4
o'clock, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-
eighth streets, on H. He was then lying on the
sidewalk, apparently asleep or drunk. He had an
old ragged coat under his head at the time. I saw
deceased again about 7:30 o'clock on the next
street from this (Thirty-first street). He was then
standing still, looking around, and had the same
coat over his shoulder that I had seen under his
head in the morning. He was barefooted and bare-
headed both times that I saw him, and I took him
to be crazy from his appearance and actions.
Thomas Pyne, sworn: I am an engineer on the
Texas and Mexican Narrow-gauge railway, and
was in charge of the engine on train No. ?. that
came in to day about 12 o'clock. I was running in
to-dav at a speed of about six miles an hour, and
when about three cars length from the crossing of
Thirtieth street I saw deceased standing near the
crossing and some four or five feet from the rail.
When I got within about four feet of him he threw
himself like a flash right on the rail. That was the
last I saw of him until I stopped the train and went
back to look at him. When he threw himself on
the rail I reversed the engine and called for brakes.
We hail a very heavy train and we stopped it with-
in about eight cars lengths of where he struck the
rail. This is all I know of the matter. I do not
recognize the deceased. Do not think I ever saw
him before in my life.
Julius Frederich, sworn: A man by the name of
Adolph Korte was missed this morning, between
live and half past five o'clock, from St. Mary's in-
firmary. Said Korte is about twenty years of age,
a German by birth, of medium size, light hair and
eyos, will weigh about 140 pounds. When at the
infirmary he had on a dark colored shirt and mixed
colored pants; also socks with red bottoms. Korte
has been treated for remittent fever, and when I
last saw liim, which was this morning, between
live and half past five o'clock, he was in his right
mind; but last night he seemed to be in some kind
of trouble, as he tried to borrow a razor, as he said,
to cut his throat. He has been iu the hospital four
days. He came here from San Antonio, and was
admitted to the ieiirmary on the 11th of the present
month. *
The inquest was then adjourned till this (Sunday)
morning, at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of disinter-
in j the oody of deceased, for identification.

BASE BALL.
Best Game of the Season--The Brown
Stockings Victorious Yesterday.
ffhe Dallas Brown Stocking Base-ball club, ac-
companied by thirty or forty friends from the
North Texas metropolis, arrived at 9:30 yesterday
morning, and repaired at- once to the Beach hotel,
where they remained until afternoon, when
they left for the base-ball grounds, on
the corner of Twenty-first street and ave-
nue N, to join issues with the Gulf
Cifv c<ub of Galveston. There were present to
witness the game between two and three thou-
sand people, and throughout; the contest was
closely watched, while liberal applause was be-
stowed upon good playing upon each side. The
game was unquestionably tho hest that has beeu
played in Galveston this season. The nines are
closely matched, and each very evidently recog-
nized to the full the abilities of tiie other. The
score would undoubtedly have beeu much
closer than it was had not the umpire, Mr. Raw-
liugs, of Dallas, not delivered a shoulder-
hitting decision in favor of the
Browns. This " rattled " the home
boys who did not during the remainder of the
game play with the vim which had marked their
previous work. To give a man his base on a bail
at which there had been a strike clearly^ noticeable
to the spectators, and in the face of the player s
acknowledgment that he did strike, was rather too
much tor the island boys. The decisiou served to
add three tallies to the Brown's score. The field-
ing on both sides was excellent. Murray made a
beautiful running catch at short stop, and liately
in left field aud Blakenev in center
did capital playing. Boyd, at first base,
played better than he has yet done.
Costlev. Moran and Compton each captured good
balls. " Rebenock and Smith did good batting for
the Red Stocking boys, while Fisher was the heavy
gun for the Browns. It is about a stand-off between
Coit and Smith as pitchers.
The following is the summary of the game:
brown stockings.

Seaman's Friend Socioty.
The Galveston Seaman's Friend society, auxiliary
to the Seaman's Friend society, of New York, will
open in the Methodist Episcopal church, corner of
Twenty-second and Broadway, Sunday, September
30. 1S83, at -t o'clock p. m. Free reading-room and
sailors' bethel will also be established. This place
lias been engaged for temporary use, or until a lot
can be had suitably located near the wharf and a
building placed for a permanent bethel. Ship-
masters. officers and sailors, and all connected
with the marine service, with friends of the cause,
strangers and young mf n oi' the city are invited to
call aud spend their leisure hours and make use of
the opportunities for reading, writing and study
which are here afforded. It will be fouud a quiet
place, supplied with papers, magazines and books,
as the society may l»e able to afford. Publishers
of the city and country are to be invited to con-
tribute to the wants of the reading room. The
managers hope to have papers and books in all
I tiiguages spoKen by seamen who visit this port.
No reading matter will be excluded because of
sectarian or party proclivities. Only it is deter-
mined to keep such as is clean, elevating, interest-
ing and profitable. Some contributions have al-
ready been made. Friends of the cause are asked
to donate or loan such reading as they can. Good
care will be taken of all contributions,
and a full report made quarterly. The
American Bible society have sent bibles
iu English, German, Norwegian and Danish.
The society is Protestant and Evangelical, but per-
sons of all religious or no religious faith will be
welcome. The society are desirous of making up
libraries, to be loaned to crews sailing from "this
port, which will be returned and reloaned, thus be-
coming a constant blessing to the uien separated
from the world during long voyages.
The Bethel religious services will be under the
general direction of the chaplain to seamen for
American Seaman's Friend society, the Rev. E.
O. Mclntire, who will secure the ministrations of
city pastors and others as frequently
possible. These services will be non-sectarian, free,
evangelical gospel meetings for the edification
and solvation of all who may attend. A Sunday
school will be held' at o'clock, and preaching at
! p. 111. cvri'v Sunday. Teachers and workers
are needed from the churches, who, it is
hoj. 1. will bring in the children from the streets
and away from places of vice, and ultimately lead
•hem to rhrist and to membership in their respec-
tive chuic'ies.
The location of the Bethel and reading room is
considered only temporary. Some noble, pliilan-
turopic persons are considering the project of
building a place adjacent to tho wharf, which will
be a joy forever to seamen and to the donors.

WANTED IIsT NEBRASKA,
Robert A* McKee, Alias B. F. Mc-
Eeener, in Custody of the Police3
Awaiting- a Nebraska Requisition.
The police have in their custody a man named
Robert A. Mckee, alias B. E. McKeever, who was
arrested by them Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon
last, on information that he is wanted at Li*coln,
Neb., to answer to the charge of forgery. McKee,
alias McKeever, reached Galveston on the
2d of this month, and first registered
the Tremont house. On the day following he
deposited $600 in the National Bank of Texas.
Against this he, on the day following, drew a check
for $50. He stated to the bank officials that lie
was in the State looking after business invest-
ments, and expected to make some transactions in
this city, and would be desirous, if he did so, of
making an arrangement with the bank for the
cashing of his New York drafts. He claimed to re-
present the Corbin Banking company, of New York
city, upon whom, he said, he would draw, adding
that he would be likely to use wires very freely.
The bank officials professed willingness to
accommodate him, hut they took pains to make in-
quiry of the Corbin Banking company. Their first
dispatch was. " B. F. McKeever here: claims to rep-
resent you. Has he authority:'" This was answer-
ed " no." The bank also sent a second inquiry as
to the responsibility of McKeever. To this the
New York bank replied. * he may be responsible,
but he has no funds with us."' This put the bank
officials here on their guard and a detective was at
once employed to shadow Mr. McKeever, who on
the 8th checked out $450 of his money
and on tho 10th drew the remain-
der. On the 9th he changed •from the
Tremont to the Beaeli hotel, where he was still
Kept under surveillance by two detectives. On
Tuesday he called at the bank and stated that he
had purchased 2300 bales of co-ton in Houston and
was going to that place in tli* afternoon, but would
return the next day He desired the bank to make
him an advancement on the cotton, and promised
to be on hand at 10 o'clock the next day to arrange
the matter. The detectives were at once made
acquainted with this movement, and plans
were arranged to arrest him if lie made
the attempt to effect the negotiation
O11 the day previovs to this, however, a postal card
was received by the chief of police from M. M.
Clark, of Lincoln, Neb., offering a reward of S-00
for the arrest of McKee on a charge of forgery.
A photograph and description of the man wanted
were given, and Special Officers Williamson aud
Lordan were detailed to work the case. They
found MeKeever at Henderson's saloon on the
beach, took him into custody, and have, for the
past four or five days, had him in confinement in
the chief's office in the station-house, his
meals being sent to him. Chief Jordan
at once telegraphed the fact of the arrest to Lin-
coln, Neb., and received instructions to hold him,
as au officer would come for him. The officers have
been exceedingly reticent about the case, and have
withheld all the information possible from the re-
porters. They have seemingly gone on the idea
that representatives of the press were against
them, aud would not do to trust with a secret. For
the information that is in the reportorial hands
they certainly do not have to thank the detectives
with any especial degree of fervor, and the
only point * that has kept the publication
of the case until the present time was the. belief
that McKeever had a confederate who could also
be captured. It is stated that McKeever when
arrested admitted that he was the man wanted, and
expressed his willingness to return to Lincoln. He
is" also reported as saying that $200 was a small
reward for what he had done. It is likewise said
that when he was arrested he had something like
$500 on his person, which he placed in the care of
Police Clerk Haucock. The following statement
has also been reported:
McKeever claims to be a native of Pittsburgh,
Pa., and that John McKee, a prominent glass man-
ufacturer of that city, is his father, and that Mc-
Keever is his mother's name. That M. M. Clark,
who offerer! the reward, is his (McKeever's) part-
ner, and that the difference between them is a mat-
ter of $300. He also claims to have been a graduate
of West Point; served in the late civil war with the
rank of major, aud was on General Up-
ton's staff, and was in San Francisco
at the time of that officer's suicide. Professionally,
he claims to be a lawyer, ranking high in his pro-
fession in Nebraska. Is married, but has no
children. McKeever claims to be well acquainted
with Lieutenant Maguire, of the revenue cutter
McLane, and was Maguire's guest aboard of the
McLan* the day before she sailed. The Nebras-
kians are expected to reach the city this morning.

with the community by their large and elegant
stock of flue shoes aud their courteous, honor-
able dealings, and after having become more
familiar with the wants of their trade, they
are now prepared to exhibit to the public the
largest and best selected stock of fall and win-
ter goods ever before shown iuthe South. Their
prices are uniform to ail, aud unusually low
for the very excellent quality of their goods.

will be importuned to buy, but every one will
be presented with an ornamental souvenir.

Letter from Alexander.
ITo The News.i
Alexander, Texas, September 13, 1S83.
Since my last communication from this point
about eight months have elapsed, but things
have not been at a standstill in the Flower of
the Valley. This little village, nestled cosily
iu a beautiful valley on Green's creek, has
steadily grown from her birth—two years ago
—and now has nice business houses, neat resi-
dences, steam gins and flouring mills, thorough-
going, liberal business men, and a population
of several hundred intelligent, sociable people.
A nice building—the Alexander academy—for
school and church privileges, has taken the
place of what was naturally nature's jewel.
The lumber business here is simply immense,
one firm's sales amounting to near £75,000 per
annum. Tho Alexander Mills company are
just completing a tine flouring mill which, for
latest improvements, will be unsurpassed in
this State. When complete there will be about
fifty tons of machinery, and the capacity of
the mill will be fifty barrels of flour per (lav,
requiring for a year about 350,000 bushels of
wheat. The wheat here is superior to the
wheat produced iu Iowa for two years past,
and will yield forty pounds per bushel.
The school will commence September 1
under the supervision of Professor J. L. Latti-
more, of Decatur, Wise county. Professor
Lattimore comes well recommended; and let
me here urge upon our citizens the imperative
necessity or giving him earnest and ardent sup
port. The house is being seated this week, aud
is to be ceiled as soon as possible. The citi-
zeus are entitled to great praise for doing
as well as they have in this respect.
This house was commenced and brought to its
present condition when there was scarcely 100
inhabitants, costing about $S00. We are in-
debted to Messrs. Biurn for a contribution of
$100, and Messrs. Kauffman & Ruuge for $50
to our school, also Messrs. Le Gierse Co. for
$20, for which they have all been substantially
reimbursed. That public spirited Houstonian,
W. D. Cleveland, also gave $25, while he had
never had nor solicited patronage from the
merchants of our town. With the proper step
taken there is no reason why this should not
come to be a tine educational point.
For beauty aud healthfulnass of locality this
point is hardly surpassed in the State. All
the necessaries of life abundant and cheap. The
place is located on a line of the Texas Central on
the edge of the great Northwest. The country
is rugged enough to be picturesque iu appear
ance, the prairies dotted with the most beauti-
ful of evergreens, the liveoak, and the valleys
furnishing abundantly native fruits of all
kinds—grapes, plums, waluuts and pecans—be-
side being well adapted to orchard culture. We
feel assured that this village will come up to
our past prognostications and be one of the
most desirable in the State 'for a permanent
location. Occasional.
Senator I/XcPherson.
Washington, September 0.—Sub Rosa, of
the Sunday Capital, has the following:
regret to hear that Senator McPherson may
not- complete his second term in the Senate,
which he began last March. Some business
opportunities open to him which are so
very tempting that he may decide to
go out of public life altogether, follow-
ing the example of Senator Gordon, of
Georgia. The senator, however, is already a
very rich man, and I should think he would
greatly enjoy another six years in the Senate,
lie is a sagacious man, with a clean record
and no enemies to embitter his political life,
Still it is even a greater thing to be able to re
sign a seat in the Senate than to be elected to
one, and doubtless there are other Democratic
statesmefl in New Jersey who will be willing to
step into his shoes."

Mr. J. P. Long, one of the officers of the Hennes-
sey Detective agency returned last night from New
Waverlv. on the International and Great Northern
railroad, whither he went to work up the case and
apprehend the party who threw the switch on that
road on the night of the 18th of August, causing the
tMrough passenger train to fly the track Mr. Long
has been working up the case ^ince the 22d of August
and finally succeeded in bagging his man lie says
he found the people of Waverly considerably ex-
cited over the affair and anxious that the guilty
party should be apprehended and brought to jus-
tice. He had no clew to work upon, but finally as-
certained from the agent of the road. -Mr. Wayre,
that a negro by the name of Ed Dairy had been in
the employment of the company from time to time
in the "capacity of porter and brakeman,
and had been recently discharged. 31 r. Wayre
had heard that this negro had a switch
key still in his possession. A few days afterward
Mr. Long saw the negro Dairy pass on a freight
train going toward Willis, actiug as brakeman. He
theu went to Dairy's house, where he found hi*
wife. During his conversation with the woman he
saw a small black padlock lying on the table, by
which ho easily turned the conversation
upon the subject of locks. and learned
that her husband had brought another
lock to the house about a week before,
which, from the description, he knew to be one of
tiie switch-locks of the railroad. He finally pur-
chased this lock from the woman, but she could not
give him the key, as she said her husband had it.
Mr. Long found" this to be the same lock that had
been taken off the switch on the International
and Great Northern road, which caused the
accident 011 the night of the ISth of
August. He then secured the confidence
of the negro man by offering to employ him as a
cattle herder. He showed Dairy the lock aud told
him that he had just purchased it from his wife,
and that sue said he had a key that would fit it.
Dairy appeared to be somewhat alarmed at this
and acknowled to having the key, saying, how-
ever. that no other key would fit the lock except
the one he had. When Mr. Long proposed to get
a key in town Dairy immediately asked him not to
do it. saying he would give him his. That evening
Mr. Long remarked in Dairy's presence that he
would give $10 for two more locks like the one he
had, as he wanted them for some gates on his
ranch. Dairy jumped at the proposition, and said
he would not have that $10 Ion/ as he would have
the locks for him at his house the
next morning. Mr. Long suspecting where
Dairy would get the locks, placed two
men to watch the switches, and he undertook
to watch the negro. The parties had not waited
long before they saw Dairy take the lock from the
house-switch first, and then come to the switch at
the lumber yard and take another. Just as he had
taken the second lock he was frightened off by a
noise and started to run, when the parties called to
him to stop. He paid no attention but kept run-
ning, and finally run in the direction that Mr. Long
was stationed, when he brought him to a halt with

judgment would not avail him anything as an off-
set, Mr. Cohen immediately paid the claim and
raised the levy.

Saltillo, Mexico, September 15.—This ancient
Mexican city is the scene of gay and happy festiv-
ities occasioned by the advent of the Mexican Na-
tional railroad, and also the fifteenth anniversary
of Mexican independence. The day was opened
by a street parade by the military, by the boom-
ing of artillery, and music by two excellent brass
bands. General hand-shaking* accompanied by
the popping of champagne corks, took place. The
entire city is decorated with banners and streamers
pendant from lofty places. The festivities will be
continded for four days.
On the return of the excursion party to the city
the distinguished visitors and speakers for the oc-
casion were conducted to a grand stand erected in
the large pavilion, where were present about 5000
people. Don Ramon Trevino, attorney for the
railroad, spoke very hopefully of the growing en-
terprise of railroading in Mexico, and said that his
people were inclined to progress, and welcomed
anything that would advance their civilization.
Sr. S. Beslanga also spoke favorably of the new
era, but the most pleasurable feature of the day
was an address in English by Don David Cesna, a
native of Mexico. He reviewed the march of
civilization from the earliest ages down to the
present day. and showed that we owe our enlight-
enment and prosperity to the germs of true
liberty which ore everywhere being sown in the
western world. He said his people were readj- and
glad to imitate their brethren across the Rio
Grande and anything calculated to advance civili-
zation in Mexico would always be welcomed with
open arms and ready hands.
The American and Mexican flags were joined to-
gether, in various parts of the city, and large
shields, worked for the occasion, represent the
eagles of the two republics and the motto, Amistad,
friendship, in brackets, worked across. To night a
grand reception will be given at the palace by
Governor Mad re, aud many Americans will be
present. The festivities will conclude Tuesday with
a grand banquet. _

At a meeting of the bar, held to-day, the follow-
ing preamble and resolutions were adopted and
subsequently ordered spread upon the minutes of
the District Court:
It is usual and it is eminently proper to (five
expressions to feelings of regret or sorrow
upon the loss of those who have contributed
to the welfare of society, or who have distin-
guished themselves in their calling or occupa-
tion, and to-day we are called upon to mourn there-
cent death of two of the most worthy members of
the profession in the State—Geo. F. Mcore, our late
chief justice of the Supreme Court, and E. M.
Pease, though retired from the practice, yet iu
the past one of our most active members and lately
governor of the State. Both came to Texas as
young men and both have devoted their lives to the
building up of our country, and each has made a
name, fame and fortune. While one has adorned
the bench by his learning and has written an im-
perishable name upon our judicial reeords, the
other in the legislative halls of the State and
the gubernatorial oifice, has equally
immoralized himself in our aiin:il>.
Both were devoted to their profession
and strove to elevate its members. Both were
honored by their contemporaries, and both were
true sons ot Texas—proud of her achievements
and hopeful of her destiny. In all that relates to
private life each was a model as father, friend and
citizen—pur^, honest and upright in character and
fearless iu the performance of duty. Careful and
painstaking in all affairs committed to them,
whether public or private; learned 111 their profes-
sion, wise in counsel and conservative in senti-
ment. they became an honor to their country, and
as such we mourn them: therefore, be it
Resolved by the bar of San Antonio tliat the
judge of the District Court be requested to cause
to be spread upon the minutes of the court this
evidence of our appreciation of the honored dead,
and, as an evidence of our sorrow, be it further
Resolved, that for thirty days the members of the
bar wear the usual badge of mourning.

killing of Bud Fly, at Hondo City, by Ward, the

was under the influence ot liquor the day pre-
vious. and renewed his spree on the morn
ing of the killing, bat to all appearances
was so drunk as to be unconscious of
his acts. He raised no disturbance up to the time
of the killing. An application for a writ of habeas
corpus will be made, iu which his interests will be
watched by Marshal Gosling and Colonel N. O.
G reen. who expect to secure his release on bond.

affected at bis sou's position. The
prisoner completely broke down during the inter
view. Ward is cautious in talking of the affair,
but he states: If the sacrifice of my own life would
bring back that of the lamented victim, it would
belaid down as cheerfully as a man going to
feast. While I shall, of course, struggle for my
life or liberty, it will be my duty to meet my fate
calmly and with deference for the will of the law

A Safe Blown Open—Rain.
[Special Telegram to The News.i
Terrell, September 15.—The safe in the Central
railroad office was blown open by burglars about
o'clock this morning, the explosion being so great
as to be heard all over town, and was quickly fol-
lowed by an alarm of fire, soon gathering a crowd,
which caused the operators to decamp without any
booty, notwithstanding there was over in the
safe, which they could have got easily, as their
work was perfect, the safe door havinsr been blown
fully ten feet and completely demolished. A bed-
quilt, in which the safe had evidently been wrapped
up, was burned, and set fire to the depot,
but was quickly entinguished. The night watch
man at the oil mills, near by, had heard
the burglars at work several hours before the ex-
plosion, but supposing it to be some of the em-
ployes. did not give the alarm. He was the first
person to get there after the explosion, and prompt
ly gave the alarm of fire. The burglars were
evidently frightened away by the explosion, which
was greater thau they had intended. This bein[
the second attempt to rob their office, the Central
road will doubtless have a night-watch at their
depot hereafter.
A splendid rain fell to-day, lasting nearly three
hours. So far as heard from, it has been senerai
in this section. _

Cutting Rates.
New York, September 15.—The Daily News this
evening prints the following:
Reports have been current for a month past that
the trunk lines have been secretly cutting rates,
and experienced travelers and shippers knew how
to get the advantage of a reduction. To-day, how-
ever, the trunk lines are openly cutting the passen
ger rate from New York to Chicago. The pool rate
was fixed sometime ago at %22 to Chicago, but as
none of the lines kept up the schedule. $22 became
the current figure at which tickets could be ob-
tained. To-day a news reporter was offered a
ticket to Chicago at one of the trunk line offices for
$1s, at another for $1s 50 and at another
for $17. Scalpers are selling tickets much cheaper,
SU to Chicago and St. Louis being the asking

It also contains a chart of the life-saving service,
day and night signal code, with instructions. This
system has been long needed. The flag system, it
is well known, has been in use a number of years,
but it never has been arranged in such a form as to
be useful for signalling between stations on shore
and vessels at sea. The night signals system of this
code, as adopted by the service, is the "invention of
Benj. Coston. whose widow perfected the same for

Messrs. Thompson. George & Co.. Galveston, Texas:
Gentlemen—Your Schott's Chill Tonic has almost
superseded all other chill medicines before the
public iu this section. When given according to
directions it rarely fails to break the most obsti-
nate case of chills. 1 consider it an excellent Tonic
aud one of the best Anti-periodics. The price
should recommend it to the public, as it is the
cheapest and most effectual in the market.
Yours, respect full v.

Another Attempt at Rescue Proposed
—Telegrams from Naval Officers.
Washington, September 15.—Commodore Eng-
lish, acting secretary of the navy, received the fol-
lowing dispatch:
St. Johns, N. F..September 15.— Commodore Eng-
lish, acting secretary of the navy: To charter an-
other foreign ship with a foreign crew for this duty
to go north at this late season would simply invite a
fresh disaster. The Proteus was handled very un-
skillfully and the crew behaved shamefully at
the wreck. The ship must be American
manned and officered by the navy and thoroughly
equipped. Unless winter quarters can be reached
north of Cape Athol, the attempt would be useless.
This can not be done. Melville bay will be impas
sable by October 1, at the latest. The ship can
not winter at Upper Navik and can not sledge
north from there. F. Wilde,
Commanding U. S. S. Yantic.
The following dispatch from Lieutenant Garling-
ton was received at the signal office to-day:
St. Johns, X. F., September 15.—Chief Signal
Officer, U. S.: The stores were not left at Littleton
island because it was not in my programme to do
so. It was ray intention to establish a depot at or
near cape l'rescott and to the northward, as re-
commended by Lieutenant Greeley, and to fill the
gaps caused by the Neptune's failure to get above
cape Sabine. ISee Greeley's letter, the
Beebe reports and my instructions.! Five hundred
and fifty-five rations were left at Upper Navik by
the Yantic for my partv. Part of these met me at
a point forty miles north of Tessussak. All have
since returned to the Yantic.
The ultimate result of any undertaking to go
north at this time is extremely problematic.
The chance is against its success, ow-
ing to the dark nights now beginning in
those regions, making ice navigation extremely
critical work. There is no safe winter anchorage
on the west shore of Greenland, between Disco and
Pandora harbor, except, perhaps, North-Star bay,
the winter quarters of the sound. However, there
is a bare chance of success, and if my recommen-
dations are approved, I am ready and anxious
to make the effort. My plan is to buy a suitable
sealer, take a crew of Volunteers from the crews
of the Yantic and Powhatan, now in this harbor,
arrange for paying them extra compen-
sation, with Lieutenant J. C. Colwell
to command the ship, two ensigns and one
engineer, to be taken from those who volunteer
from th« same ships. Also employ a competent
ice pilot here. The ship must be under United
States laws, and subject to military discipline. I
believe nothing can be done with "foreign civilan
offices and crews. In event of net enough seamen
volunteering, the remainder to be enlisted here.
Commander Wilde will communicate with the
navy department. If anything is to be done it is
to be done at once. E. A. Garlington.
It appears from the above that if supplies and j
instructions were sent Garlington, he never !
received them. Lieutenant Garlington has been
advised that the secretary of war will not authorize I
the proposed expedition this fall, but will order j
one next year. _
WASHINGTON NOTES.
