I believe be bad no power to mist tbe temptation to avenge tbe wrong done his family. I don't think be was capable of knowing much about revenge when be aid it. His reason was dethroned.

The most renwrk able case ot mistakeu Identity in tbe annals oftbepoiloe departineut is tbat of Walker Jones, the supposed Valley Walker, and wbo is now locked up in the oalaboose at tbe Four Courts. Yesterday a number of residents of Brldgelon called at tbe Four Courts for tbe purpose ot Identifying tbu man, and the majority held tbat tbe pris oner was not Valley Walker. Dr. Berry, who sewed up a long gash In Walker's leg, made the prisoner strip and examined bim carefully. Tbere was a little scar ou tbe leg, but tbe phy sician said tbe wound was not tbe same and tbe man wai not Valley Walker. An old colored man, who kuew tbe mur derer from boyhood, took a look at tbe prisoner and stated emphatically tbat the man was not the much-wanted Valley. A number of other gentlemen wbo bad known tbe negro when tie was In the service ot Geu. Frost called, but after scratching their heads awhile failed to come to any definite conclusion. Tbe prisoner resern bles Valley Walker, yet tbe interesting fact remains tbat it Is not be. Walker bad straight black balr sod was taller tban tbe man in the calaboose; besides, the latter bas curly or kinky hair. " Tbe authorities in tbe county have been oa the lookout for Walker since b. killed tbe old soboaimMuir, and when, as tbev thought, they bad bim iooated in Fort Worth, they seat the Information to-tbt city and Officer Ifewmao was sent to Texas to bring him back. He fonnd his man in jail, having been convicted of a obarge of assault with Intent to kill and aeutenced to seven years in tbe penitentiary. Tbe Texas officials waived their rigbftj when informed that a good ease of murder could be m:ide out agaluat bim in this city and Newman brought back the alleged Wilier Walker, arriving Wednesday mordlng. Those who knew .the murderer in timately were sent for, but ooulu not posi tively identify tbe prisoner as tbe man wanted. Several, however, did declare tbat be was Valley Walker. Meanwhile tbe prisoner smiled a sickly sort of smile and curled up to the benob. He tells a straight forward story and saye bis name is Walker Jones. He was born and rawed In Virginia and served tbe Union through the war. After being discharged he went to San Antonio, where be has lived ever since. He says he can prove by 100 witnesses tbat be lived In San Antonio from 1867 until a few months ago. There is no doubt but be will get a free ride back to Texas. Hennepin nt Fits Jobn Porter. Washington, Jan. 18 The friends of tbu Hennepin Canal are by no means hope ful regarding the prospects of tbat enter prise. Tbekt presentation of the facts in the case before the Committee on Railways and Canals, has not produced the Impres sion they hoped, and there are serious doubts whether tbey will even get a favor able report. Even should they get sucb i report, there is serious doubt as to favor able action by tbe House and Senate. Tbe Fltz Jobn Pwrter bill Is up in the House, and Davis will probably make a vigorous speech against It as soon as op portunity offers. Aenseleaft In tbe Nireet. Wheeling, W. Va., Jau. 18. R. B.

ONLY A BUTTON Bat on Its Evidence Billy Buffee Ma; Go to the Pen. A Hibernian Eaplannllon ol Ibe Loe of lha Lllilo Witness. St. Louis, Jan. 18. An India rubber vest button waa a greater toss to Win. Buffee, a few nighta ago th in would have been $1,000 In greenbacks; for In all prob ability Mr. Buffee will go to tbe penlten tU"y as a result of tbe lose. It will be remembered that when the bouse of Mr, Futz on Grand avenue, was burglarized, the burglars collooted several ot the large pieces of silver plate near the kitchen door, preparatory to carrying themott when they bad looted the sleeping rooms. Iu their sudden flight thsy left this silverware where tbey bad . placed it, and next morning OtUcor, Hurley found on the Utile, close to tbe valuable goods, au India rubber vast button, with some of tbe threads still attached to it. Mrs. Fusz com pared it with tbe button on all tbe gar ments intbe house and found nothing Ilk It. Hurley pocketed the clew, and when, early the next morning, he entered a N jrth Broadway saloon In that region, to take a look at some rough character who congre gsie there, be noticed tbat on tbe vest of young fellow named Buffee were tivo buttons corresponding with the oun he bad in his pocket. Closer in spection showed that a sixth button was missing from tbe bottom ot the row. Buffos had a bard reputation and Hurley arrested bun. N ben questioned about the missing button, Buffee stated tbat he had cut it off and s swed it in place of the top button wbicb be bad lost. This was a Hibernian explanation, inasmuch as it still left bim one button short. He protested his Inno- chic , but Mr. Fusz and his wire are both confident tbat he la the man whose face they saw at the bedeido, although tbey would not swear tbat they are not mis taken. The button, together with tbe knowledge that Hiiffee was arrested years ago for stealing brass from the Laclede (tolling Mill, and compromised on a Work House sentence, serves to confirm thulr belief. . Further more, It is quite clear that burglars would not attempt to curry off in tbelrarms a huge unwrapped silver tray unless they expected to be able to hide It before going very far, and 84 Buffee lives witblu a block of tbe robbed house, this is another circumstance in support of tbe theory of bis guilt. 1114.11 RATKN AXD MO PKOfTT. Dlitinoncl Joe'n C'artona Experience In ' the RMlwajr Bnelnese. HotSpkixos, Ark., Jan. 18. Pres'dent Joseph Kvyuolds. of tbe Hot Springs Rail way, is in conclave In Malvern, near here, to-day, with tbe directors of his rosd, con sidering tbe proposed extension to Pine Biuff . Mr. Reynolds Im ivoti out that be will build tbe road with his individual capiul, although be lays stress on tbe magnitude of tbo necessary outlay. It is expected that grouad will be broken on tbe line by tbe Ut prox. The line will add 50 miles to the Diamond Joe system and will open up a fine body of timbered land. The fact tbat tbe estimated coat of construction is nearly $20,000 a mile, dis pens? a flavor of uncertainty wmon oan hardly be reconciled to tbe blgti hopes of the people. President Reynolds acknowledges that (he progress of tbe enterprise will not be ss speedy as desired, owing to bis lode I endenoe of ontside aid; but the prospects are good for favorable "deals." President Reynolds says that tbe Hot Skiul'b Railroad has proved a poor investment, whereas tbe public had been educated to think otherwise. It Is a well-known and painful fact that his passenger rates are eight cents s mile, and tbat freight rates are no less exorbitant. In view of tbe expensive traffic over tbe line It must follow tbat notlilug but poor manage ment could entail tbe discouraging results the magnate seems to wall over. While President Reynolds, wbo is a liberal man witb liberal pretensions, Is bewailing de pleted coffers and still exacting tight cents a mile for travel, a majority of tbe otber Arkansas roads are evidently making money at three cents a mile and thanking Providence tbat legislation does not re strict them to a lower figure. a i.i vi: i. r rrxn. Perjury, Illea;itlrale Bttble Npleen. With the Penitentiary In Ibe Distance. LaSalle, la., J to. 18. LaSalle has h luxury of a sensation. For years two fac tious here, in which Irish blood preponder ates, have been at war. Eyes have been blackened and pistols flourished, but no gore worth mentioning was spilled. A climax has, however, brought one ot the ciiief actors to Jail, and only tbe magnan imity ot bis toes will save bim from the peulientiary. T. L. O'Connor, an alder man, with bis brother, M. A. O'Connor, editor of tbe Times, and for a number ot yeaia principal of the High School, are the leaders of one faction; aud tbe member of tbe law linn, In which A. J. O'Connor, a cousin to tbe first mentioned, is a partner, are the leaders of the other. T. L. O'Connor was charged with tbn parentage of an llligiilmate child. The trial of the case bas just taken place. The defendant at first pleaded not guilty and testtdjd iu bis own defense. Tne prosecution brought such strong evidence in rebuttal of his alleged alibi, that, on the third day, abandoned by bis lawyer, hn pleaded kullty aud dccli'cd to get iu irriod But the fiteud of tbe wronged girl Induced her to accept tbo judgment of $.V0 allowod hi r by court and decline the matrimonial offer. The next step consisted in a warrant being issued for O'Connor's arrest at thu instigation of ber attorneys, among whom the firm mentioned were represent ed, on a tbarge of perjury. By not settling the original suit bofore itoaine to trial tbe unfortunate leader found himself hotly pursued by vindictive enimles aud, failing to look before leaping, be Jumped from the frying pan into tbe tire. He bas procured bondsmen, but moved forau appeal Iu the case alluded to, aud pending a decision on the motion is still In jail. A.J. O'Connor and his colleagues now propose to get T. L. O'Connor Indicted by tbe uext grand Jury, and on condition that be and M. A. O'Connor dtcide to make tbt'fr future borne In otber and distant pints, not topuebtae perju.y esse to trial, but let it In due course of lime bo dropped Irom tbe dootwt.

He says; "I know who took Ibe Uvea of Lydia and Annie Maybee on the evening of Novem ber 17ih. It waa John B. Tappan, my brother. He was In the bam when Mr. Maybee came in. I was not in tbe barn, but I saw John go in. Ha went in at the double doors. I was at tbe front side of my bouse, feeding pigs, when be entered. When Jobn cboked the old lady to death, I was in front ot tbe barn and saw hint. He choked ber te death on tbe barn fl or. He caught ber wrists In one hand ami took ber by tbe throat wife the other. 1 saw bim do It, I was looking through the door. It was light enouah far me to see the sta ble. When Jobs, bad ber by tbe threat ebe ws oa the ground. When she came in for leaves, John was standing in the stalls where tbe leaves were. It took 15 minutes to choke ber tol death. After tbe deed was done, John ploked ber up and laid her batik of tbe stable. I saw bim throw leave over her. He was standing on tbe ar i fluor near the opening door by ine stable. I saw the whole thing myself. After aha waa dead Jehn said, 'I am going to wall for Annie. I am going to cboke ber too. It I cboke her no one will know about it, then we can go to the bouse and get tbe money. Annie opened the barn door and stepped in. John grabbed her rlgbt arm and threw her down on tbe floor and held ber oy tbe right wrist while be put bta knee upon ber left arm, and with bis rlgbt band took ber by tbe throat. She tried to get away from blra when be grabbed ber by the arms. She grabbed at bla face. I saw her band close over hit nose and mouth. She said, 'Let me to. ' Then be held ber by ber throat. He carried ber into th e stable near her mother, and covered ber with leaves, saving, "Now I'm gotng to the house." Both he and I went. We entered by the kitchen door.

' ' May i t laid, "I aint got It. I am blind. 1 can'tieeto get it." "I know," sat.t John. Then he said, "I'll kill you," and matching bis caue from bim, struck bim twice on tbe bead, then Jobn went up stairs, when be came down again he said: "I have got all I want." Wben we came out, we went up through the cedars, be gave me ten dollars iu money. I've got it now. Jobn showed me a pin and watch outsldo the door as we come out. He did'nt tell me how much mo.iey be got or what be was going to do witb tbe watch nnd pin. I went out towards tbe barn, orossed the bridge nearest tbe school bouse and went borne.

The whole expense of this thing bas been borne by Mr. Corbiu. He says "cost what it may, acd without regard to tbe turn it takes, I am determined tbat no murder or otber serious crime be com mltted In Long Island, witbout the crimi nal being bunted down and punished."

It says: A statement waa telegraphed from Chicago taat reporta were current In that city affect ing tbe solvency of George M. Pullman ( the President of tbe Pullman Palace Car Company. Mr. Pullman was asked at tbe Windsor Hotel wbat truth there was in the report. "I am very happy to say tbat there Is none,1' said he. "I can see no abject in circulating such reports except, possibly, to alarm the stockholders of the Pullman Company. Were it not to allay any fear that might be caused by sucb stories, I should pay no attention to them. Tbe lmpretsion that I am a large stock op erator is entirely wrong. I made Invest ments in tbe Northern Pacitic and Wert Shore Roads on my own account, witb tbe View of furthering tbe iutereBts of the Pul- man company. There bas been a shrink age of values, of course, and all investors have suffered in consequence,' but I have faith in tbe future of botb those enter prise. Tbe object of my present visit to , New York was to place my daughters iu school and attend to some business ot the Pullman company. " Mr, Pullman left for Bosnia last nigbt.
