HIM.

The particulars Of a little episode,
which transpired in less than ten
thousand miles of Eureka, deserve to
be related. We can't attempt to give
all the variations, but will detail the
solid facts. a mar and wife had been
living happily together for years.
They took in a boarder. The house
was so constructed that the bed cham
bers were on opposite sides, a hall
way between. The old mar was on
the night SHIFT in n mine or al q fur
mace, we don't know which, nor
does it matter. Things had gonaon
swimmingly for a long while, but at
last he became suspicious of the
bcarder. The more he thought
about matters the more firmly the
green-eyed monster took hold of him.
After revolving the subject for weeks
in his mind, he concluded TO prospect
the situation to see what developments
could be made. 1t was impossible for
him to remain from his work, but he
thought he might rig a purchase that
would tell the tale if all were not right.
He, accordingly, improved an oppor.
tunity when both his wife and the
boarder had retired to their respective
chambers to set a trap for 'em. Taking
a quantity of -four, hs noiseless-
~ spread it upon the floor
between the bed rooms, and then went
about his work as usual. OF course
he returned bright and early the fol-
lowing morning to see what he could
see. They were there, tracks, plain
and palpable, and easily traceable, go.
ing and coming. There could be no
mistake, and though the evidence was
purely circumstantial, it would be diff.
cult 10 make out a stronger case. The
crisis had been reached and things
waxed warm in that particular donicile
on that particular morning. Ali that
TRANSFERRED is OF course not known
to the outside world, and even the
prying reporter was unable to get q
iull knowledge OF what followed the
old mans discovery. He does
know, however, that tho aforesaid
boarder alt out" for the Black Hills
on that identical day, since which time
matters appear to be running as
smoothly as ever with the ;narrie+
folks.

ATTACHED The Matamoras mine
and furnace have been attached for
$4,000 by Messrs. Volk and Antonio.
The Chicago men owed them this un.
paid balance or the purchase money of
the mine, and the drafts being pro-
tested in Chicago, no other course was
left them than to bring suit. What is
to be the upshot of the matter o one
knows, though it is confidently be-
lieved that the Chicago parties will not
let the property go for SO small a sum.
The mine is said to be looking rs well
as usual.

Large Fire AT the Centennial.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT TIE ATLAS HOTEL.
a fire OF considerable magnitude aud en-.

situated aUout an eighth OF a mile from
Machinery Hall, between the Atlas Hotel
and the PeBnsy lvania railroad, within which
packing boxes in which the goods for cxhi-

An fncendtary one, but no one has as yet
been arrested. Owing to the distance from
the tracks OF the Pennsylvania railroad their
trains were not detained. The heat was such
that the track which runs through the lot
between the sheds was considerably dam
aged, the ties burned, and the rails bent into
incoDceivable shapes
The sheds burned were those which con-
tained the most OF the cases for the English
and French exhibits In the main and art

considerable, and workmen will at once be

heavy material, ron-bound, and lined with
zinc or tin. The English loss will be about
$4,000, the American the same, and the
OH ers far less. Very fortunately the exact
shape and measurement of each box was
taken before 1t was stored, and from these
the workmen can proceed TO rebuild without
loss of time. The sheds and contents were
Insured.
AS the flames rose to an unusual height the
fire was visible from a considerable dis

time that The nre was raging in the Atlas
