A great many young men secureies in the departments at Washington may for the purpose of supporting themselves while they are studying in the great schools law and medicine. Matters are so arranged at these institutions that a clerk whoops work at 4 p.m. can get dinner and on hand for the evening lectures, which begin at 6. The house voted to reduce the qual vacation of the clerks from thirty fifteen days, in addition to which they are allowed thirty days sick leave in eachear. Whenever there is a legal holiday the is usually a half-holiday on the day proous. The clerk takes the working part that half day off. This gives him two days ear. But, on the day before the half-holiday he goes to the chief of his bureau and askper mission to leave at 2:30 p.m., so as to stoch a train. Thus the single day's holidays expanded into two days and a half. If genuity with which such affairs are maged is said to be wonderful, it shall is the original Blanche Rivers. At the time of the murder the woman was traced to Leadville and then to New Orleans, where she disappeared. She returned to Leadville two weeks ago.—The officials of San Francisco were notified of her arrest, and later advice are to the effect that they know nothing about Blanche Rivers and cannot imagine how the report that she murdered a policeman in that city originated. Beast Breckinridge Beaten. Lexington (Ky.), Sept. 15.—No election or other occasion ever caused such a general suspension of business as the contest between Owens, Breckinridge and E. E. Settle for the Democratic nomination for Congress from this district. Formonthathe district has been agitated in the most extreme manner. It was not a political, not even a factional fight; it was a moral contest for weeks and months, and during the last few days it became intensely personal. Col. Breckinridge was fighting for life and he never before made such speeches or displayed such executive ability in organization. He marshaled every man he could command, but he could not command the women. They had no votes, but they were the controlling element in the fight. At the Owens headquarters to-night, their claims have run up from 400 at 7 o'clock to two, three and even live time that plurality, and they say in their rejoicing: "The ladies did it." The ladies could not get ward-workers to their prayer meetings or other meetings, but their organization of committees of one generally got promises at home out of voters who needed no watching on entering the booths. With the saloons closed, the women praying and the best influences all aroused, there was a quiet election excitement and bitter feeling nevertheless, at their highest pitch. The greatest surprise of the day was the good order everywhere. There were some personal encounters, but not so many as usual at elections. There was, however, great precaution to prevent trouble. Old friends and neighbors had been having their innings and they wanted only the voting today. If the Breckinridge men had entered their challenge as strictly as they expected, as a preserver should prove charge for a refrigerator fruit oriacea to Chicago is $125, this expense that they be made.

GROCER) One gets a vivid notion of the magnitude of the departments from the vast quantities of ice which are required to quench the thirst of the 23,000 clerks. The treasury consumes a ton and a half of ice daily, taking an average year-round. An equal quantity is used in the war, State and navy buildings. But the Department of the Interior is the great deocuror of ice. Including the Pension Office it gobbles up from five to six tons every twenty four hours. The must makes its own contract for ice, bids being advertised for annually. No definite amount to be provided is agreed on. The contractor gets so much for supplying all the frozen water required, whatever it may be. All the departments, together with their branches, consume $4,000 pondua every day. Any secretary can by a simple order increase the working hours of the clerks in his department to any extent which he thinks is desirable. Lower the Flag! TACOMA, Sept. 15.—Capt. W. R. Bridgman, U. S. N., died at 8:20 a.m. at the Hotel Rochester, of Asiatic fever, not cholera, as stated in an afternoon dispatch from Minneapolis. Captain Bridgman commanded the United States cruiser Baltimore up to July 16th last, when he left the Baltimore in Asiatic waters, after about two years' service on her, and returned to this country for two years' shore duty. He arrived here about August 16th last, to visit his brother, Arthur Bridgman, cashier of the Commercial bank. A few weeks ago he was taken down with Asiatic fever, and despite all medical attendance could do, he steadily grew worse. Captain Bridgman never dispaired. He bore his affliction bravely, and was determined not to die. It had been evident for some days that the brave captain could not recover. Yesterday morning it became apparent that the end was near and the attending physician told him so. The soldier replied, with a smile: "You do your part, doctor, and we will pull this thing through. I cannot afford to die." He was in full possession of his mind until almost the last. Robert Whiting, surgeon The ladies could not get ward-workers to their prayer meetings or other meetings, but their organization of committees of one generally got promises at home out of voters who needed no watching on entering the booths. With the saloons closed, the women praying and the beat influences all around; there was a quiet election excitement and bitter feeling nevertheless, at their highest pitch. The greatest surprise of the day was the good order everywhere. There were some personal encounters, but not so many as usual at elections. There was, however, great precaution to prevent trouble. Old friends and neighbors had been having their innings and they wanted only the voting today. If the Breckinridge men had entered their challenge as strictly as they expected, there would have been trouble. So clearly had the canvassing and polling been done that the challengers knew almost all the Democrats stood and they could have kept many from voting. Owens seems to be so much in the lead that it will not require the complete return to settle the result. At a late hour to-night, while the Breckinridge people claim their man may pull through, their confidence is not very marked. They are evidently greatly surprised at the outcome of the day's voting. In Fayette county they expected nothing short of 700 or 800 majority, but the work that was done against him brought his majority down to a little over 290. In Franklin county, where Breckinridge forces expected a majority of 150, the Owens people have a majority of not less than 500. In Woodford and other counties the same story is told. The feeling in Henry county was bitter and a serious fight occurred during the afternoon at Lockport. Baby had Chills and Fever. A divorce suit has been filed in the San Francisco courts asking that the marriage between Laughlin H. Jamieson and Mrs. Lulu Gertrude Jamieson be annulled. The suit is the outcome of the elopement of J. Arthur Turner and Amy Turner from New York City. After being married eight years she eloped with Turner, a gay member of Victoria's beat at Turner and Mrs. Jamieson are now living at Aparado, Mex., where a boy was born to them on April 11. They are represented to be anxious to marry. When Jamieson found they had escaped from the country he gave up the pursuit, and directed Attorney Philips to begin action for divorce, charging desertion. Jamieson was repeatedly written to come and attest them. He ignored the letters. Since Mrs. Jamieson will not return, Philips considers it better to set her free to be married to Turner and legitimatize the boy, now 5 months old. For that reason he concluded to attest the complaint himself, and compel the attendance and testimony of Jamieson. Mrs. Hamilton at Antioch has received several letters from Mrs. Jamieson, and in one dated City of Mexico, July 5, she writes: "Baby was born on April 11. It took chills and fever, and has been very ill, indeed. Now I have to wear glasses, for my eyes are so weak. My baby is a fine big boy, and has been very ill." The climate of Mexico is worst in the world for little children; they die so quickly. Will you take my boy and raise him until he is about 2 years old? I will pay you what you ask a hand for the evening lectures, whihbegin at 6. The house voted to reduce the qualification of the clerks from thirty fifteen days, in addition to which they are allowed thirty days sick leave in coarse weather. There is a legal holiday tte is usually a half-holiday on the day previous. The clerk takes the working part that half day off. This gives him two days ear. But, on the day before the half-holidie he goes to the chief of his bureau and asks permission to leave at 2:30 p.m., so as to stoch a train. Thus the single day's holiday expanded into two days and a half. Tl ingenuity with which such affairs are managed is said to be wonderful. However, it should be explained that two thirds of the employees rarely take a day of the sick leave allowed them. If a clerk is absent on account illness over sixty days in any year he o she must pay a substitute. The Civil Service Commission provides all the substituted that are wanted. It provides that the clerk shall give to the substitute a certain proportion of the pay, usually amounting to count 5 per cent. By thus hiring a substitute a clerk might retain his place in the service of the Government for years, though himself blind, paralyzed and confined to his sed. In all cases of sickness a physician's certificate is required. Not long ago the Treasury Department made a rule to effect that such certificate must always sate the nature of the complaint. But the local medical society resolved in formal council that such a thing was out of the question; and so the regulation fell to the ground. One gets a vivid notion of the magnitude of the departments from the vast quantities of ice which are required to quench the thirst of the 23,000 clerks. The treasury consumes a ton and a half of ice daily, taking an average year-round. An equal quantity is used in the war, State and navy buildings. But the Department of the Interior is the great decouuror of ice. Including the Pension Office它 gobbles up from five to six tons every twenty-four hours. The must makes its own contract for ice, bids being advertised for annually. No definite amount to be provided is agreed on.

Any secretary can by a simple order increase the working hours of the clerks in his department to any extent which he thinks is desirable. Lower the Flag! TACOMA, Sept. 15.-Capt.

A short time before his death Captain Bridgman's mind began to wander. He thought he was again aboard his ship. He began to give orders. The last command of his weak voice was, "Lower the Flag." Captain Bridgman was born in Iowa about 50 years ago. He was appointed to the United States naval academy at Annapolis November 29, 1859, and was graduated three years later at the head of his class.

[mar8f] Although the third trial of the Heath case will not come off until after the election, yet preparations for it are being made already. The testimony in the case belonging to the prosecution is being compared by Court Reporter Gearhart. W. W. Poote has written to have the defense's copy of the testimony sent to San Francisco, and it has been shipped to him. Some Los Angeles lawyers have been retained for the defense, and Foote will go over the testimony and mark what is most important and the volumes will then be sent to Los Angeles. Blanche Rivers, a Leadville variety actress, was arrested on a charge of insanity. She believes she is being chased by a policeman with blades of fire. Her maudlin mutterings revive the mysterious murder of a San Francisco policeman a few years ago, who, according to the Leadville story, was killed by a woman named Rivers, who disappeared and has never been heard of since. The woman admits that she lived in San Francisco, and old reward papers in possession of the Sheriff would indicate that she Terre Haute, Sept. 14. World's records went glimmering over the Terre Haute track, which to-night holds all but two—the fastest three heats and the fastest 2-year-old pacing records. There was hung up to-night the fastest mile ever gone by a horse in harness, Robert J., $2:01; the miles of Nancy Hanks and Alix, each in 2:04; the world's record for 4-year-old trotters, made by Fantasy, 2:06; the fastest six-heat race over gone by a 3-year-old, Expressive's great race three weeks ago; the fastest 2-year-old trotting record, Oakland Baron's mile in 2:06; Whirling's 3-year-old pacing record of 2:10, the stallion pacing record of 2:03 by John H. Gentry, and the stallion race record of 2:04 by Joe Patcheen; the marvelous mile made by a 2-year-old pacer, done by Carbonate to-day in 2:09, and his previous record of 2:10 tied by Directly. That is why the town is wild with enthusiasm to-night. Geera was up behind Robert J., and at the second trial the word was given. The clip was so fast that the pacemaker fell behind, the first quarter being done in 30 seconds. Up the hill he went at even faster gait, and was at the half in 1:00. Down the third quarter the golding came like a whirlwind, and 29 seconds was his time for that quarter, and he was at the three quarters pole in 1:01. Geera, with rein and voice, gently reefed the golding, who came through strong, never wavering under the terrific trial, and a moment later Geera landed Robert J. under the wire in 2:01. Men shouted themselves hoarse, teasing hats and canes in the air; women set aside dignity and waved handkerchiefs and parasols to the melody of their more resonant applause. There were cheers for the horse, for the driver and for the owner, Mr Hamilin, and Geera was lifted from the sulky and carried up the stretch on the shoulders of admiring friends.

The charge for a refrigerator fruit car from California to Chicago is $125, and it is to save this expense that the experiment will be made. Growers who have made the test claim that if fruit is surrounded by carbonic acid gas instead of air the process of decay is arrested and the flavor of the fruit is not impaired. An ordinary car has been zinc-lined so as to be practically air tight. It will be filled with fruit and carbonic acid gas will then be introduced. A condenser filled with the liquefied gas will be placed in the car as a supply from which to repair any leakage which may occur. The gas is obtained from an abandoned quicksilver mine near San Jose, where it is claimed an inexhaustible quantity exists. Dozens of Incendiary Fires. MERCED, September 13.—From 9 o'clock last night to sunset this evening there were twenty-three fires in Merced. The people have been on the alert, and on the watch among the crowd was a man whose identity is still unknown, but whose pockets were filled with phosphorus. He was the most industrious of all. The sun went down upon as exhausted and wormout a body of firemen as ever pulled an engine. The first alarm was sounded just before 9 o'clock last night. It had been several months since Merced had suffered from a fire. Most of the townpeople rallied to the scene, which proved to be a large hay barn, owned by Jacob Stearing, and situated in the extreme eastern portion of the city. Judge Bennett of Atwater in attempting to save a number of his mules stabled there, was overcome by smoke and narrowly escaped with his life. He was badly burned about the face and arms and will be laid up for a long time. A livery stable belonging to Stearing, situated on Main street, was next fired, and a hay barn belonging to George Kibby half an hour afterward was discovered to be in flames. Neither of these buildings were much damaged, but a moment later fire was discovered in a barn belonged to the Tuolumne Hotel. The building, and a couple of small frame structures adjoining were destroyed. It was now 11 o'clock and the whole population was on the streets, as in two of the fired buildings sticks of phosphorus wrapped SNAP SHOTS AT THE NEWS. Elmer Cross of Garden Grove has filed a petition in insolvency with the County Clerk. The meeting of creditors is fixed for October 19, 1894. Miss Annie Dolan, a San Francisco school teacher, became gloriously tipy; was taken to jail and lost $1,000 worth of diamonds while on her spree. Next day she lost her position at school. The trustees of the Agnawa Insane Asylum will ask for an appropriation of $277,400 from the next Legislature, and in their biennial report to the Governor, it is shown this is the least the asylum can be conducted for in the next two years, it being on a basis of 40 cents per capita per day for each of the 950 patients. Great annoyance is felt by the fruit dealers in Covent Garden by the fact that no California fruit is arriving. The first shipments received made the reputation of California fruit, and hundreds of, the smaller dealers, finding the public welcomed the fruit, began arranging for a supply. Suddenly the shipments stopped, and now no fruit from California is expected to arrive in London before September 26. Returns from the Vermont State election show the Republican majority to be 27,310 and the plurality 28,365. The following is an analysis of the vote: Republican vote, 1894, 42,726; 1890, 33,462; Democratic vote, 18,380; 1890, 19,311. Republican gain, 9,-274. The Senate is a Republican unit, and the House stands: Republicans 233, Democrats 9, Populists 3. Rev. J. W. Porter, a Baptist minister of Liberty Center, Ind., who was arrested and charged with stealing a pocketbook from Miss Lizzie Sparks, and who was acquitted, was tried by the Salamoni Baptist association on two charges, one charging that he had represented that he had $1,700 on deposit in Indianapolis banks, by reason of which he got two names as security on two $500 notes, which the signers paid. It was decided to expel the minister from the church. The Japanese tea garden at the Midwinter Fair has been purchased by the Park Commissioners, and will be made one of the attractions of the park as a place where ladies may secure a cup of tea while listening to the music discoured by the park band. The Fair buildings are rapidly disappearing. In honor of the Grand Army Encampment at Pittsburgh the Braddock city authorities erected a triumphal arch opposite the City Hall, across Braddock avenue. It was adorned with portraits of American heroes, including Washington, Lincoln, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Meade. It struck the Councilmen in charge of the erection as a bright idea that the portrait of President Cleveland should be added. While members of Major A. M. Harper Post were assembled front of their headquarters in the Carnegie building, not a block away, preparing to join in the parade at Pittburg, the yells of an indignant crowd called their attention to the purpose of the councilmen, and they at once held a council of war. They refused to march under the arch if Cleveland's picture was placed there. Scarceily had the objectionable portrait been raised before the irate crowd pulled it down, and it was not replaced. Members of the post said afterward that they respected Cleveland for the high office he held, not for his actions, and that the city councilmen had no right to force politics and ill will upon them at this time. Sigel street, Brooklyn, was in a state of excitement over the alleged death of Mrs. Anne Greenspan, who lived with her husband and two children on that thoroughfare. Greenspan, who is a carpenter, maintains that if his wife is dead, the body sent him from the Kings County Hospital is not hers. His wife was an exceptionally good-looking woman. On Monday morning, September 3, she was sent to the hospital. On the following Wednesday the authorities said she was ready to leave in a few days. The husband was preparing to call on her when, on Saturday, he received word that she was dead. An undertaker took charge of the body and it was removed to Sigel-street house. Here the neighbors gathered to view the body. The face of the dead woman was found to be blackened and bloody. At Judge Bounty of his mules stabled to save a number of his mules stabled there, was overcome by smoke and narrowly escaped with his life. He was badly burned about the face and arms and will be laid up for a long time. A livery stable belonging to Stearing, situated on Main street, was next fled, and a bay barn belonging to George Kibby half an hour afterward was discovered to be in flames. Neither of these buildings were much damaged, but a moment later fire was discovered in a barn belong to the Tuolumne Hotel. The building and a couple of small frame structures adjoining were destroyed. It was now 11 o'clock and the whole population was on the streets, as in two of the fired buildings sticks of phosphorus wrapped in damp pieces of cloth had been found, and it was realized that more trouble might ensue before morning. The surmise was correct, for a new fire was discovered every half hour, and all sorts of threatening talk was indulged in by citizens usually cool and law abiding. Early in the morning Sheriff Warfield posted up the following notice: "All persons having no business in the city of Morced are hereby notified to leave immediately. All good citizens are requested to cooperate and see that this order is carried into effect before sunset." A rigid search of the town was made and all who could not give a satisfactory account of themselves were arrested, taken to jail and searched. As no one was found with phosphorus all were taken to the southern end of the city and shown the railroad track. A procession of people out of work kept the ties warm all the afternoon. Sheriff Warfield then sent deputies to the north and west outskirts of the city. They gathered in all suspicious characters, and after a thorough search warned them to leave. The prompt action of the Sheriff created a feeling of security, although the fire bell was pealing most of the night. About 10 o'clock a man was seen to throw something into the barn of I. Bird, the superintendent of the Nevada Bank ranch. A fire immediately broke out, but in the soon after time fires were constantly breaking out and were extinguished by the citizens without alarms being turned in. In all there were twenty-six fires, but, thanks to the splendid work of the firemen, the total loss will not exceed $5,000. Mercer Sept. 14 — No further developments in the fire trouble, except the burning of the Russell schoolhouse, seven miles south of town, last night, and a fire in a shed on the Chowchilla ranch, of which Isaac Bird is superintendent. Both of these fires are supposed to have been caused by the phosphorus flounder. Every one was on the alert last night for fires. Watchmen were patrolling every alley in town, and the firemen slept in the engine-house, with the horses hitched to the engine, ready for an alarm. No outbreak occurred, however, the distributors of phosphorus having evidently ceased operations. Some arrests have been made on suspicion, but nothing came of them, and all the parties were discharged. Other arrests will probably follow, but at present it may safely be announced that nothing definite is known. The Board of Supervisors have informally agreed upon the following tax levy, which they will officially impose on the fourth Monday in September, viz.: State, $493; current expense, $207; salary, $20; county school, $26; hospital, $04; road, $25; total outside incorporated cities, $145; total inside incorporated cities, $120. Adding the city tax levy and the special school tax in districts that have bonds outstanding and we have the total rate for each school district as follows: Anaheim, $21; Buena Park, $199; Contraila, $19; Chico, $175; El Modena, $23; El Toro, $159; Fairview, $195; Fullerton, $197; Ocean View, $165; Orange, $185; Rev. J. W. Porter, a Baptist minister of Liberty Center, Ind., who was arrested and charged with stealing a pocketbook from Miss Lizzie Sparks, and who was acquitted, was tried by the Salamoni Baptist association on two charges, one charging that he had represented that he hailed $1,700 on deposit in Indianapolis banks, by reason of which he got two names as security on two $500 notes, which the signers paid. It was decided to expel the minister from the church. The Japanese tea garden at Midwinter Fair has been purchased by the Park Commissioners, and will be made one of the attractions of the park as a place where ladies may secure a cup of tea while listening to the music discouraged by the park band. The Fair buildings are rapidly disappearing, and by October lat., the time when the grounds are to be turned over to the park, it is thought that but few traces of them will be left. Jim Budd has a sprained ankle. Saturday afternoon, on his way to Sacramento, he was carried through Port Costa, when he intended to stop. He was told that there was no train to take him to the Capital City. Learning that he could hire a special engine for $75 to take him there, he ordered the train stopped and jumped from it while it was still in motion, and hurt his foot. He walked back to Port Costa. He spent the afternoon there, and caught a train by way of Benicia for Sacramento. Twenty-five cattlemen at Parachute Col., all wearing masks, drove 2,200 sheep belonging to C. B. Brown into a corral and killed them with guns, knives and clubs. J. F. Miller butts her sheep not molested, but she butchered a notice that these would have been served likewise but for lack of time. When the sheepmen returned not a cattleman was in sight. The sheep herder who was shot will recover. This was all done for revenge. Three georges, two men and a woman called at the office of Townmaster, and demanded breakfast. Mrs. Woelbuster, badly frightened, prepared a meal. Later he returned, broke in the street door, and going to her room beat her into insensibility and assaulted her. Then she was bound, gagged and thrown into the cellar. Carpets and bedding were saturated with oil and the house fired, and but for the timely discovery of the flames all traces of crime would have been obliterated. The woman's condition is critical. Judson Carter's family, who live near Bowling Green, Ky., went away from home, leaving nobody at home except Moselle, a seven year-old daughter, and Moses Christopher, a negro boy, who lived with them for a number of years. When the family returned they found that the negro had assaulted the girl and she will probably die. The negro was captured and though an enraged crowd had assembled,the officers were permitted to lodge him in jail. He was indicted, arraigned, put on trial and convicted,the next day,the jury imposing the death penalty,and he was sentenced to be hanged November 4th.

The State and county rate is 30 cents less than last year outside incorporated cities, and 25 cents less inside. Somebody stands to lose $1,000,600 on wheat, and San Francisco grain men are wondering who the victim is. For months L. F. McGaughlin bought wheat for some unknown speculator until he had accumulated between 175,000 and 200,000 tons of wheat, for which he paid an average price of $1.35 per cental. At present prices he cannot realize within 35 cents of as much as be paid per cental for this immense quantity of wheat. It is said by grain dealers that ex-Senator James G. Fair is the only man on the coast who has enough ready money to back McGaughlin in such a big deal and it now looks as if he had made an error in his calculations that will involve the loss of $1,000,000. When McGaughlin commenced to buy last winter, wheat was never before so low. Under the stimulus of his big purchases the price went up. But it soon fell, and wheat is now lower than ever. It is calculated that there are at present between 800,000 and 900,000 tons of wheat in the State that a market must be found for. All this wheat must be shipped out of the country, and ship owners are holding back for high charges. The leading story in the September number of that sprightly publication, "Tales from Town Topics," is entitled "That Dreadful Woman," which title is evidently used in a satirical sense, the "woman," whom society stigmatizes as "dreadful," as a matter of fact, proving herself something little short of a saint. There is another character, Tottie Spanglefook, a dancing girl whose conduct proves that women of her class are occasionally afflicted with the possession of a heart that persists in remaining in the right place. Some of the characters may possibly be recognized as having been drawn from the types to be found in the "upper ten thousand" of a large western city. The story bears the imprint of a synopsis perhaps too marked to be enjoyable, but the heroism with which Mrs. Vandergriffe bears her burdens, and the pathos and nobility of the sacrifice she makes for the man she loves cannot fail to awaken the sympathy of the reader. The remainder of the book is made up of customary bright stories, poems, sketches, burlesques and snappy witty ams from former numbers of Town Topics Town Topics Publishing Co., 208 Fifth avenue, New York City. Van Buren Triplet and Edward Mines, noted banco men, fleeced Sam Hop, a Chinese laundrymen, out of nearly $500 at Dayton, Ohio, in a card game. Mr. Hop protested, and in the excitement secured possession of his money. Triplet and Mines, mindful of the fact that they were dealing with a shrew victim, sandbagged and robbed him. A policeman mounted his bicycle and ran Triplet to cover, compelling him to surrender at the point of a revolver. Another officer chased Mines to the second floor of the Dickey House through a half dozen saloons, at last capturing him under a bed. The first damages growing out of the collision between the steamers Oceanic and the Cheater in San Francisco harbor in 1888 have been paid by the Occidental and Oriental Steamship Company to the family of the victims. Suits were brought in behalf of six minor children of Columbus Davis and of three other children whose parents were drowned. The jury awarded the Davis children $10,000 and the steamship company appealed the case. The appeal is still pending but the company finally decided to pay the claim in full. The results of the three other suits hinged on the decision in the Davies case, and they too have been settled. In all $26,000 has been paid out so far by the company. Governor Markham issued two commutations of sentence. One is granted to Samuel Gregory, sentenced from Kern county in March, 1883, to life imprisonment for murder in the first degree. The Governor commutes the sentence to 19 years' imprisonment, which will liberate the prisoner coming December, his credits being taken into account. The Governor also grants a commutation of the sentence of George Williams, sentenced from Kern county to seven years' imprisonment for grand larceny, to four years' imprisonment. His aged mother is subject of the charity of friends, and the prisoner is promised employment in Utah. Besides the physician at San Quentin says he is in the first stage of consumption. The G. A. R. in session last week at Pittsbury determined to hold their next annual gathering at Louisville, Ky. This is the first time in the history of the order that their annual meeting will be held in a Southern city. Henry Watterson invited the delegates to Louisville in the following eloquent words: "I have come with a message from your countrymen who dwell on what was once the other side of the line, but whose hearts beat in ready response to your hearts, and who bid me tell you that they want to see you. Candor compels me to say that there was a time when, without any invitation whatever either written or verbal, without so much as an intimation of hospitality, you insisted upon giving us the honor of your company, and as it turned out when we were not prepared to receive you. It would be a pity, now that we are prepared, now that the lid is off the pot and that the latch string hangs on the outside of the door, if you should refuse us with bloody hands to hospitable graves, but as friends and brothers, fellow-citizens who learned to value one another amid scenes that left no time for equivocation and transactions applying to human virtues the very highest test." It is announced from Boston that the San Diego Land and Town Company has sold privately $173,000 of its 5 per cent bonds on general principles. The District Attorneyney who prosecuted the case concurs in the above statement of facts. N. P. Lowenthal of San Francisco and B. U. Steinman Mayor of Sacramento testify as to the standing of defendant's relatives in Texas who are anxious and willing, if said prisoner is released, to return him to his family where steady employment will be given him." The boy was sent to prison in February, 1892. Ex-Senator James G. Fair has executed a mortgage on the Lick House property in San Francisco for $320,000, the lenders being the Lick Trustees, but not a dollar changed hands. Nor is Fair in use, either immediate or prospective, of the $320,000 which the record says he borrowed. Indeed he would like to give the Lick Trustees the $320,000 if they would take it, but he is in the somewhat anomalous position of a man who owes a bill and may not pay it, though willing.Years ago when Fair bought the Lick House property he was not in a position to pay the full sum and there remained a balance of $320,000. The trustees of the estate realized at that time it might be many years before they could use such a large sum to such advantage and they covenied with Fair that he should pay them at the rate of 5 per cent per annum until it should be equally advantageous to borrower and lender to cancel the debt. But the mortgage was then placed on record was to run a number of years and when it expired Fair proffered the principal to the trustees. They were not in a position to use it then,and in accordance with the terms of the agreement it was renewed. It has fallen due several times since and Fair has become more anxious to pay for the Senator's business is largely in line of collecting interest and not paying it. When the last mortgage expired last weekthe trustees again put him off,但 only for a month,and it expected they will soon be able to expand the money in the constructionof a mechanical school provided for in the will of Lick. Kirby Barnum, who owns a farm near the western border of Great Red Lake Indian reservation in northern part of Minnesota has just returned from a perilous trip down Thiet river which skirts the reserve on the west. The trip was made in a small passenger steamer that plied between The Indian agency and Thief River Falls,a distance of 120 miles.Fully half the trip was made between walls of fire.The flames jumped Thief river and cut a swath through dense forest fully sixty miles wide.The whole country is afame.The steamer was forced to go three or four miles at a time,and then everybody would get off and stand in water until it fire and abated somewhat.Several times the boat was sire. The water in the river was raised to such a temperature by the fire that the surface was covered with millions of dead fish.Bear deer and other large games were fleeing from the flames in great confusion.Many small canoe parties of Indians were encountered making their way down the streamthe best could be done.Here has probably been lost of life among them.The fire originated in a blaze set by a man who tried to get control of some hay land from the governmentbut failed.He then hired two men to fire it.The flames spread to the forest and have caused great damage and loss of life.
