A Train Robber Arrested.
fSnecial to the Kansas City Times.
Galveston. December 22. -A tel
egram from Houston to the News ot
thfo-city states that a man named A.
C. Stewart was arrested there to
day, charged with being one of the
Chicago and Alton train robbers
w ho operated at Glendalc about two
years ago. The United States officers
have been on the track of Stewart
for a long time, and he is in pome
way connected with the first Glen
dale robbery, and the man known as
'Bob," about whose head o much
mystery clings. It is also thought
that Stewart and Bill West, under
arrest at Dallas, arc connected in
some way, the request tor both ar
rests coming from officers in Mis
souri. ' A Barbaront Harder.
Ashland, Ky., December 25.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Gibbons, who
reside near this city, went visiting
Friday night, leaving their daughter
14 years old, Miss Emma Thomas
17 years old, and son, Robert Gib
bons at the Gibbons homestead.
During Friday night viliians came to
the house, outraged both the girls,
saturated their clothing with oil, set
the house on fire and killed young
Frank Gibbons, who was attempting
to give the alarm. All three ot the
dead hud their heads split open with
a hatchet. No clue to the muider
ers. A thousand dollars reward is
offered for their capture. The Gib
bons house was burned to ashes,
only the chimney left tandiug.
It Will te Built.
We are m receipt ot information
from an undoubtedly reliable souice
to the effect that a number of New
York capitalists have interested
themselvt s in the nvittcr of the Chi
cago, Missouri and Kansas railroad,
and the company will proceed to the
construction of the road bed early in
the spring with a view of reaching
Warrensburg by the first day of
June. An engineer will go over the
line in a few days, ami if dee-ne.l
necessary will make other prelimi
nary surveys, the company reserving
tic right to run into W; irrensbirg
from Brownsville on any line they
I see proper. The wealthy Xew
Yorkers who furnish the money to
bond the road have made a thorough
examination into the resources and
; shipping interest of the country
through which the road will pass,
and have not hesitated to pronounce
k one of the finest railroad routes in
the world. The head-quarters of the
construction company will be in this
city.

Democrat. The accusation Against Jeff Davis.
Fast upon the accusation alleged
to have been made by General Joe
Johnston that Mr. Jefferson Davis
was guilty of sequestering $2,500.
000 of confederate specie just after
the collapse of the southern confed
eracy, comes a whole host of denials
of the story, as well as explanations
showing the utter impossibility of
Mich a thing, under the circum
stances as alleged.
ft is not necessary, however, to
revert to the denials made, nor in
voke any, to give discredence to the
accusation. Mr. Davis' life, or
mode of living since his release from
prison, hat been such as to create
absolute disbelief in any such story
against his integrity and honesty.
His has been a life of retirement,
and until he became the beneficiary
by will of an admirer, he lived in
penury almost. The war wrecked
his fortune, and had he sequestered
or disposed of the funds as alleged,
it is not presumable that he would
have led the life ot abject want,
which he did the first few years after
the war, or until raised to afilucnce
by being made the legatee of the
plantation of Beauvoir in Louisiana.
This is proof enough of the falsity
of the charge, and the numerous de
nials are only accumulative evidence
of it. Representative Reagan of
Texas, who at the time, when the
alleged sequestration took pl ice was
secretary ot the confederate states,
is prompt to den' it, and emphatic
in denouncing the story not only as a
malicious emanation, but explains,
as well,' the utter impossibility of
such a", 'removal'. t funds, from the
fcimple facts thrt so much coin was
iiot on hand in the treasury, and such
as was on hand, was paid out t' the
troops.
Senator Williams ot Kentucky,
possessed of full knowledge of the
removal from Richmond of all funds
on hand, confirms Mr Reagan in
his account of the disposition of the
funds. The following letter addres
sed to the Times is further proof of
ihc same thing. Kansas City Times.
On To Oklahoma-
The Atlantic and Pacific was
originally divided into three divis
ions, first the eastern division, from
St. Louis to Vinita. This diyision
was completed to Vinita ten years
ago last August, when in 1S75 this
part of the road went into bank
ruptcy, and in 176 it was old out
under the mortgage and a new com
pany formed, which was called the
St. Louis and San Francisco, now
operating that portion of the line.
The centrial diyision extends from
Vinita, Indian ternt:ry, to Albu
querque, in New Mexico, a distance
ot about Hoo miles. The western
division extends trom Albuquerque
to San Francisco, about 1,200 miles.
This division is being rapidly con
structed, about 300 miles of track
having already been laid west of Al
buquerque. It is now proposed to construct
the central diyision from Vinita to
Albuquerque and have it completed
at the same time that the western di
vision is completed to San Francis
co. This will give a grand through
short line, along the thirty-fifth par
allel, all under the same ownership
and control.
The line from Vinita to the Ar
kansas river has already been locat
ed, and contiacts wKi ti let within a

ments tor an agricultural and stock

Tm Wedding.
Ten years of weded life. On
Monday evening of this week,
thongh the elements seemed arrayed
in union against us, yet when seated
comfortably in the elegant phcatcJn
of 'Mr. R. J. Hurley we scarcely re
alize that the rain was pouring
down and the wind blowing: and
after a few minutes drive we arrive
at Mr. Hurley's spacious residence,
which was bri.iiantly illuminated.
On entering we found most of the
guests assembled and doing their
best to contribute to the enjoyment
of Mr. and Mrs. Hurleys tenth wed
ding aniversary. While the host
and hostess were doing all in their
power to make the occasion a pleas
ant one to their guests, and we need
not say how admirably they suc
ceeded. At half past eight we ad
journed to the dining room, where
we beheld a delicious and most
tempting repast awaiting us. Cakes,
dainty confectionary, California
fruits and South American nut dis
appeared with surprising rapidity,
and all left the table feeling that
"truly it was. good to be there."
Before supper, however, the happv
couple were remarried by Rev.
Criss, the ceremony consisting of a
series ofr questions and answers never
before invented, and unlike any
ceremony we have ever heard, but
we trust not the lcs obligatory on
the part of the 1 Title -.nd groom.
The guests were, Mr. and Mrs.
I I(,!-o!ni, Mr. and Mrs. 1'urges,
Mr. and Airs. Wycoff, Mr. and Sirs.
Schwaranger, Mr. ami Mr-. Sacket, 1
Mrs. Keller hnd Rev. and Mrs. j
Criss. j
At a late hour alt retired, leaving I
behind them a quantity of useful tin
ware and a host of good wishes for
theit genial host and his amiable
wife. In the language of the far
famed Rip Van Winkle, we say for
them. may they "lit long und be
happy." ' AiXiE.
Country Notes.
The citizens of Fairview and vi
cinity had a Christmas tree on Satur
day night. The crowd was large
and everything went off pleasantly
till near the close, when two or three
strangers, who had imbibed freely of
fire water were rather noisy.
The Christmas tree at Maysburg,
in the Heckler school house, contain
ed numerous and costly presents. It
is reported that there were one hun
dred and eighty-five dollars worth
of gifts handed out by Santa Clans.
Rev. R. A. Bathurst was sent for
to make a speech in Lucas, Henry
Co., on Christmas eve The Christ
mas tree was a novelty in the place.
Aged men and elderly matrons had
never witnessed one before. The
crowd w as large, and many young
hearts were made glad by the gifts
dispensed. Old Santa did not even
forget the Parson, but brought him a
handsome present.
TWO MADE ONE.
On Chmtmas Rev. R. A. Bath
urst joined in the honorable state of
matrimony Mr. John A. Pulliam, of
Cass county, and Miss Laura Ham
monds, of Maycsburg. The young
couple started on a bright Christmas
to travel life's road together. They
intended crossing Grand river where
there are three turkevs and other
nice things in waiting for them.
