Ho told his ; wlfo that howasKolnirtothobanktotakoup n note, and that ho would also bur some dross nnd return homo that ovonlne. Uo was also solnc to collect somo bills, ho raid. Ho reached tllshtstown early in the after noon and wont to tho bank, having put up his horse at tho hotel kept by Mr. Doyle Then, after collecting somo bills, ho wont to Itue's drug store, bought a fow drugs, and started for home at0:5 o'clock. Tho man at Doylo's Hotel who got out his horso for htm Is tho last person who Is ,j, known to havo seen him. At 8X that Mi night a man named Oavon drovo to Per- !. rinoville In hot haste and asked to see Mrs. & ' MacMlllan. He said that ho had just oomo If up from Mllford. about flvomllos from Porrino- gt, ; vIlle.onthoHlchtstown rood, and that ho had 6S seen there Dr. MacMlllan's horse without the M, j cart, and that furthor down tho road ho had US found tho enrt standing In tho road and In a EA broken condition. Ho had not soon Dr. Mao- Vi ' Millan nor could he find any one who had seen l& him. 5 ' Oreatly alarmed at this Mrs. MacMlllan. her y father. Mr. Allen, and Dr. Qeorgo MacMlllan I? ; Immediately drovo to Mllford with lanterns p i searching the road and calling out In tho hope Jrg i that tho doctor might be somewhoro within 3? hearing dUtanco and would answer. But !l they found no traoo of him.and returned home. vA ' Tho noxt morning a searching party of forty was 6 orgauUed in Perrlnovllle. They sot out early p with the Intention of making an exhaustive rS examination of the roads and surrounding m woods on tho Hlghtstown road. Within a mile j of Mllford they found the horse blanket that la ' had been in Dr. MacMlllan's road cart, and Si.' near It signs of the cart having been turned v around. Just as they woro about to proceed W onn of tho party called excitedly to Mr. Allen: "Lookhoro! hero Is a clue.'' 5, The othors cluBtored around and there In tr tho dust was tho Imprint of two hands with 5 fingers outspread, and betweon them a largo Si round print in the dust as of a man s head. ' After examining theso marks tho party went h& on toward Mllford. $ About halt a mllo further at a turn in tho r, ; road nar a farmhouse, thoy found tho cart 5 headed toward Mllford. broken. There was a fc . rod paint mark and also somo scratches on it , , which hod not been there before. Boside the 2& , cart lay a half-smoked cigar. Inaulrjos 'i. at the houso elicited no information.

The elovated railroad whloh la being con structed In Chicago is sufficiently unlike ours in New York to rendora study ot It interesting. The corporation Is called the Chicago and South Side Rapid Transit Company. Tho Presldont is Col. Charles Qoddard, the Secre tary and Treasurer Is John H. Glade, and the Chief Engineer is It. L Sloan. OoLOoddard will be remembered in New York as that ex pert whoso calculation of the values of the various elevated roads in New York was made the basis ot the famous tripartite agree ment betweon tho roads. Mr. Sloan, the chlot englncor. is also a Now Yorker, for years the chief engineer of the Manhattan Company and the man who practically reconstructed our roads when they woro obllgod to Increase the weight ot their rails and engines, and to add to tho number of cars in tho trains. It will bo soen. therefore, that thoso gontlcmon under stand the system to which thoy are adding, and naturally they are making somo improve monta upon tho earlier roads of that pattern: or. rathor, are avoiding tho mistaken that woro made when tho first structures pioneorod the now departure In railroading. Tho Chicago people call their South Bldo ele vated "the Alloy LBoad." because instead ot pursuing a route down any street It follows one ot those alleys which in Chicago divide every block, or nearly every block. In tho city. Chicago's alloys aro tho places In which her ashes and garbage are set out tor re moval, and the delivery of morohandlso is made at the backs of tho stores and houses. By using a series ot alleys form ing a straight route it keeps itself out ot tho way and yot bisects the very heart of the South Side. It has not bought Its right of way directly In tho alleys, but alongside of them at tho f eot ot the lots that abut upon tho chain ot alleys that it usos. It thereforo owns its right of way, and Its owners havo avoided future an noyance such as the Now York roads have suf fered In tho form of suits for damage to the easements of light and air of its neighbors. Tho ground has been secured by purchase when possible and by right of eminent domain In other cases. The first four miles of the route havo proven very costly, because they He in a region that Is valuablo and thickly built Chicago building lots on tho south side are much longer than our lots in New York. Thoy vary between 140 and 170 feet in length. It is plain that an elevated rood built at the foot of such a lot does not affect the comfort ot the tenants of buildings at the other end. but there are plaqes whero tho buildings extend tho full length of the lots. This Is frequently tho ease with corner lots on tho cross streets. The result has been a cost of halt a million dollars a mile for the right ot way over tho first four-mllo half ot the road. It is estimated that tho next four miles will only cost ono-fifth of that amount Tho new road does not look like any of ours In Now York. It is constructed of plate girders llko tho Union Railroad In Brooklyn, nnd like that part of the Manhattan road whloh is seen at tho Battery. The plate glrdors make a neater appearance than tho openwork or lat tice trusses, but would bo disadvantageous on narrow streets, bocause they darken the air more than open trusses would. In the alley route In Chicago this is not a material consideration. Tho plate girder system has the advantage of durability. Its rivets do not loosen as in the open-work con struction. Then again tho Chicago company, by using Its own narrow strip of land. Is able to build compactly, and to take up no more room than the ordinary double track surface railroad ot the country at large, the rolls bt'lni laid so that there shall be twelve feet spnee from the middle of one set of rails to tlio middle of the other set Thus tho long, steady ing glrdors that we neo used In all the older roads are dispone with and tho wholo structure is throughly supported directly over Its columns, on pairs of legs, side by sldo under the road. The Chicago road is being equipped with a 90-pound rail, such as the New York roads now uho. A rail so heavy as that lessen" tho noisy pounding of the cars because it in stirrer and firmer than a light rati, and thoro Is less hammering at the joints. The use of Fisher joints reduces this movement and noise still furthor by producing a practically continuous rail. The stations, which are so pretty as to be among the ornaments of Chicago, mark an entlroly now departure, ono thut bos not beon possible In tho building ot other elevated roads. These stations are on the ground underneath tho tracks and facing tho cross streets. The object In build ing theso lias beon to economize in the wages ot station men. By making one station serve two tracks one sot of men does tho work for both up and down travel. The uew method also economizes In the cost of maintenance of tho stations, because they ore built on tho ground, of brick and stone, and are not affected by tho shaking of the tracks. Thoy do not darken the streets, and thoy thoreforo elicit only praiso from the public. Another now Idea finds expression In the building of tho station platforms over the cross streets so that tho platforms shall screen tho trains that are stondlng on tho tracks to recelvo nosAongers. This plan also gives the public pieasantor placos on which to stand and wait for trains than It the stations were built In the alleys. This new railroad will not use soft coal to heighten the greatest drawback that now handicaps lito and comfort In Chicago. Its engines will burn either anthracite or coke. Its trains will be hauled by twenty-olght ton engines, flvo tons heavier than thoBe in use in New York. This will enablo the trains to start quickly and to maintain sohodule speed with the houviest loads. Within the city, where the stations uro numerous, tho rate of speed will bo fifteen miles an hour. Including stops. Outtido tho crowded district of tho city tho cars may make as high as forty miles an hour. Tho South bldo Railroad starts at Van Buren street two blocks south of the Post Office, nnd runs In a dlroot lino between Wabash avenue and State stroot to Thirty-ninth street (the old city limits), a distance of four miles. Then It turns to tho east and bock again to tho south for a long reach between Calumet and Prairie avenues, west ot the Grand Boulevard and Washington Park, and thence to Jackson Park and Into tho Fair grounds. Tho Exposition S rounds will be the outer terminus of tho road urlngthe Exposition. Tho work of construct ing the railroad was begun a yoar ago in Feb ruary, and will be finished very soon. The ofilcors of this railroad have made a very careful study ot the passenger tratno in New York city, ami they prove conclusively not only thn commonly accepted fact that increased fa. duties increoso travel, hut the astonishing fact that tho business of our elevated railroads in New York city Is all new business, created by those roads. Such figures are of interost to t Imid Investors, and of moment to non-progres-el vo communities. The up and down, north and south horse-car roads ot New York city carried 1(12.00(1.000 passongors in 1800. or about thirty millions more than they carriod In 1870. when tho olovatod roads wero fairly in operation. They gained that thirty millions of fares in fourteen years, but tho elevated roads, begin ning with nothing, carried 192.000,000 passen gers In 1H00. an apparently autornaUo ere ution of their own business. In 1878 there were 154 rldos to every person in tho city's population, but In 1880 there were 231 rides to ovory unit of the population. This destroys tho Idea that the growth of the business Is made up of new population brought to newly opened territory. It shows that people ride oftcner the more their facilities for doing so are Increased and improved. Hiau CHURCH RECTOR beabor. Ab iBBOVBtlea la St Mark'a Chare Cause a Steae arCoalaaloa.

Capt Algornon Horner, a former English Army officer, who has boon In this country several timos.'was found dead In bod-ot 7 o'clock last night In his room on tho top floor' of tho Victoria Hotel. Ho bad shot himself In tho head with a new 32-callbre revolver. Capt Horner strolled Into the hotel at 0 o'clock yesterday morning, after spending a convival night with friends. Ho' was somewhat undor tho Influenoo of liquor. He bade tho friends good night nnd went up in tho olovator to his room. It was a doublo room on tho Twenty-seventh stroot side of tho hotel In a llttlo alcove, and was separated from all tho other rooms In tho corridor. Tho noarost room was more than twonty foot away. Tho Captain got up ot 10 o'clock and got a lot of the Bunday nowspapers. Ho left tho koy on the on the outsido ot the door, and bolted the door on tho inside. Ho evident ly had road somo of tho nowspapors. and then undressed, put on now night clothes and got Into bod carefully and foldod the bed clothing so that his chest waa uncovored. Ho put tho revolver close to his head and flrod. Tho bullot entered just abovo tho right oar. Itwasaflvo chamberod weapon, with all tho chambors loaded. His hand fell upon his ohost after ho fired, beside his left hand. The suicide was discovered by n porter who had gone to the room to dollvor a lotter. There was no answer to tho porter's repeated knocks, and ho got asslstanco and burst tho door in. Thoso who entered tho room first thought tho Captain had merely fallen asleep, until thoy saw tho revolver. The expression of his face was calm, and there was a slight stain of blood on the pillow. Ho had apparently beon dead about six or Bevon hours. Tho hotel proprietor called In Policeman Hilt and Doputy Coronor Jenkins gavo a per mit for the romoval of the body to an under taker's in Soventh avenue. Dr. Jenkins found that tho bullot had frac tured the skull at the base. Death was In stantaneous. A bottlo ot Bultonal. a remedy for sleeplessness and norvousness was found.

Capt Horner first came to this country several years ago. whon ho was connected with Renter's. Ho came hero tho Becond tlmo a few months ago. Ho was still with Router's and was looking up the feasibility of establish ing an American branch for advertising. He received mall in caro of the Associated Press. Sometimes letters camo addressed to Mojor Horner. He had served In the tritlsh army and had been wounded.

He was of a penial temperament fond of good living, and seemed to be well supplied with money. He was a bachelor, and about -t. years old. JOSEPH THOMSON HOME AGAIN. The UlatlngnUacd AiYleau Explorer Telia or Ills Idsteat Travels. Mr. Joseph Thomson, who. next to Stanley and DeBrazza. is the most conspicuous ot lUlng African explorers, has just returned to England after a visit to Lako Bangwoolo and Garenganzo where the western head streams ot tho Congo take tholr rise. He was gone eighteen months, and his mission was to make treaties in favor ot tho British South Africa Company. He was- not successful in making arrangements with Msiri. the most powerful nctlvo chief in inuer Africa, whose attitude toward the whites is not now very friendly. Mr. Thomson, howover, mado many treaties with tho chiefs east of Qarenganzo. and it is significant that he re turns homo with a favorable Impression of tho great plateau betweon Lako Nyassa and Bangweolo. Thomson, unlike Stanley. Is very conserva tive and almost pessimistic His judgment is good, he is not carried away by enthusiasm, und hence his opinion with regard to the coun tries ho lias seen is regarded as valuable. Of tho agricultural value of most of the great plateau between Nyassaond Bangweolo ho has formed a high estimate. He thinks white men can thrive in this region as well as in India, though he does not believe that white coloni sation, in tho proper sense of the term, is possible, at least under present circumstances. White men can profitably omploy capital to open coffee, sugar, nnd other plantations, but the country is not adapted for peasants from Europe who deslro to go to new lands witli their families. Mr. Thomson has made somo Important rectifications in the geography of the Bang weolo region. He says the one definite nnd precise observation for position taken by Llv ngstono has not been adhered to, and henco the lake Is Incorrectly laid down on our maps. This great oxpanso of water is, in fact, little more than on immense marsh, formed, like any other marsli. by water flowing Into a slight depression in a plateau. Mr. Thomson be lieves the lake, even In the rainy season, has a depth of no more than twenty feet Its south ern shores aro clothed with forests. Livingstone once said he had tramped for two months through a region which, accord lng to the English mopmakers.was occupied by a lake. Thomson has had the samo experience. He says ho camped far within the bed ot Lake Bangweolo as it is laid down on most maps. In the rainy season the lake spreads out and covers for some dUtanco tho ground on which tho forest stands. ...... Thomson saw the tree on which Living stone's men carved the record of his death. He also mot natives who well remember the visltof the siok old man, and the circumstances under which he died; and the population all around tbo southern shore ot the lake pre serve the tradition of Livingstone's visit and death, and ot the fact very romarkablo to them, that hia servants carriod his body away to his home, Blontyre. on tho Shire Highlands, is becom ing famous as the most Important town the whites have reared In Inner East Africa. It was founded by Scottish missionaries about ten years ago. and Mr. Thomson, who spont many weeks there, was struck with its re markable progress. , This town, a llttlo south of Lake Ny&ssa. Is the headquarters not only of tho missionaries, but also of Bcotoh planters who havo openod large coffeo plantations. Hundreds of acres are now devoted to coffeo culture, and tho product brings tho highest ' prices In Mlnolng Lane. The planters are also making very successful experiments with sugar, tea. tobacco, and other crops, and constant additions aro being mado to the cul tivated area. It is rathor remarkable that natives come 200 or, 300 miles to work on these plantations, and thoy aro the very men who a few years ago used to raid through this country on slave-hunting tours. Th-ro Is un ample supply ot cheap labor and th- nativos aro willing to work, though It was predicted a few years ago that the white enterprises In this region would not bo ublo to secure tho native labor thoy required ,, , , , The white population dtcided wisely, long ago. that to succeed In Africa they must try to make thomsehei- s comfortablo as thoy would bo at home. Thoy pay particular atten tion to their buildings, sanitation, amuso ments. and every featuro of life that can add to their comfort, health, and pleasure. They live in well-built houses, with largo rooms, fitted with comfort and taste. Tho table ap pointmonte aro just as attractive as they uro in the houses of refined middle-class people in England. Tho libraries contain copies of all the best books and the host periodical literature published in Europo and America. The Scotch missionaries aro not con tent with moro day schools. Thoy havo large boarding houses containing 200 to :tOO boys, mostly tho sons of chiefs. They are entirely under the caro of tbo mis sionaries, and like the llfo thoy lead so well that Instead of going home they often prefer to spend their holidays In Blantyre. Handi crafts ot all kinds are taught them. English games are in vogi. and at play tlmo tho mis sionaries often take part in gsmos of football with tholr dusky pupils. That theso schools havo a permanont effect upon the pupils is shown by tho fact that nftor ending their edu cation many of tho btudents build houses near Blantyre and' settle down with one wifo to lives of Industry.

Tho rlvor rises northeast of 8anta Fe and flows in a southerly dlroctlon toward Fort Sumter, N. M., and then, a llttlo to tho cast of south, across tho territorial line Into Texas, whero it joins tho Rto Grande. It is a moun tain stream subject to alternate floods and drought until It reaches Roswell. N. M., whonco for a distance ot about 100 miles Its course Is so tortuous that Its length Is about 250 mllos. Tho lands of tho valloy betweon Roswell nnd Pecos, about thirty miles south ot tho territorial line, are broad and lovol. of tho choicest llmestono soil, and with a total area ot nearly 1,000.000 acres, of whloh fully400.000 aro below tho level at which it is practicable to deliver water from the Pocos. Most of the land Is covorod with groasewood and mesqult To Irrigate tho lands requires no lovelllngot tho surface for the distribution ot water, tho natural slopes being sufficient ..... Of tho three sections into which tho lands of tho l'ecos Valloy may be divided, tho first in tho mountain region northeast of Santa Fd. Is too high for agricultural pursuits, although It has good grass land. Tho second oxtonds from ltoRwell. on tho Hondo River, to Sevon Rivers, and broadens out into a plain of many thousands ot aero? ot lino agricultural land, with springs and marshos on the cast side of rlvor which form deop streams and rapid currents from thirty to sixty feet in width and constitute the Hondo Rlvor as a branch of tho Pecos. That is tho water supply of the upper canal system, whloh Is there entirely independent of the l'ecos. The third section extends from the cation eight mllos abovo Eddy to some miles below l'ecos city. It is from twenty-five to thirty miles in width, and has tho richest agri cultural land in tho valley. It has a Bteeper slope than lower down, and tho soil Is lighter and moro sandy. , For irrigating tho seoond and third sections of the valley companies havo constructed four sopnrato canal systems, and tho most Impor tant has beon described In tho Eiiameerina A'eics. Throo dams head the three most Im portant canal systems In Now Mexico. Tito dam ot the Northern Canal Is across the Hondo River, near Roswell. whonco a canal runs to and neross the South Spring River, where a pick-up weir has been built which turns the water southward through a main canal to the Fcliz River, a distance of twenty-fivo miles, bringing undor cultivation 00, 000 acres of agricultural land. That ca nal is to bo extended to a length of flrty mllos. and with propor storage reservoirs may bo extendod for tho Irrigation ot 100.000 acres more of productive land. Tho middle dam is across the l'ecos River below the can m. about six miles north of Eddy, and from it a mnln canal runs along tho east bank tor tour miles to a bifurcation, whence the prinolpal branch crosses tho river on a flume and ex tends down the west bank for fifty-five miles to tho Dulewnrn River, bringing under Irriga tion at least 150.000 acres. On the Texas line the eastern branch ex tends twenty miles down the vollsy. terminat ing in a dry lake and bringing underirrigation 50.000 acres of rich, sandy loam. A part ct the samo system Is a short branch heading on the east side of the river about fifteen miles below Eddy, and hnving on Its lino a large storage reservoir. The third, or southern canal sys tem, of the company is now undor construc tion, the water to fill it being diverted from tho Pecos River by a large dam just south ot the Texas lino. It Is to bo twonty-flvo miles In length, and It will irrigate about 70,000 acres In Texa. The urincipal canal and the one that is the most Interesting to engineors on account of its construction and magnitude, lsthimlddlo canal just above Eddy. It is diverted from tho rlvor by a great dam, built of loose rock and earth, 1.000 feet In length on its crest and 50 feet in height at tho highest point Tho dam follows a gap worn through a llmestono ridge. Besides diverting tho water tho dam forms a f treat storage reservoir about seven miles In ength and one mllo and threo-quartero In width. Ulxthoshapoof the letter L. with tho angle pointing up stream and the long arm abutting against the canal bead. The long arm is 1,070 feet In length. The short arm. which is wholly of earth. Is 530 feet In length, with an average height of about two feet At the ond ot the dam furthest from the canal is an ample wastoway In tho llmestono rock. The canal head at the east end of tho dam is in a rock cut thirty foot In width, twonty-flvo feet In depth, and 500 feet In length. Below the rock cut the canal Is forty-five feet In width at thn bottom, and seventy feot at the top. and it will carry a depth of six feet of water. Its grade is sixteen inches to tho mile. It has been excavated through a light sandy loam. The first part Is four miles in length to tho bifurcation, tho embankment having been thrown up wholly on the lowor side wherever the cannl won in a sido-hlll excavation, so that tho floods caused by arroyas entering the upper side beoomo ponds or reservoirs of fair size Into which tho waters of tho canal spread. At tho entrance to tho canal the water Is con trolled by two sets of regulating gates, and at tho point of bifurcation aro two mora sets. From tho bifurcation tho canal orosses the low valley of the Pecos River nnd the stream by a high terrepleln. or raised woodwork em bankment, and a great wooden ilume. Tho first terrepleln. loading to tho river. Is l.tJOO feet in length and 105 feet in width at tho base, with a maximum height of 24 feet On tho othor bank of tho rlvor tho terrepleln is only H00 feet in length. The llumo between them Is 475 feet in length and 25 feot In width, with a dopth of eight feot ot water. After orosslng the river tho canal has a bed width of 25 feet with a depth of six feet of water. It passes to the westward of Eddy and goos through the main port of tho valley eight or ton miles back from the rlvor. and It has beon completed as far as Black River, across which a high flume is to bo constructed. , ... Besides tho main canals aro laterals more than a hundrod mllos in length, from four to six foet In width, and with a depth of water from one to two foet Laterals several hun dred additional miles in length are to be cut Tho lands through which tho system runs nro principally government lands, and consider able sections havo boen entered by settlers.
