Il Happy Gas Company.

About the happiest gas company in this
country to-day is situated in St. Louis. The
gas company Of that city was chartered in
1885, and the contract gave thu municipal
corporation the right to purchase the works
s. an appraised valuation after a term of
years. a dispute subsequently, arose az to
when this time expired, but in 1870 the city
Insisted that it had already arrived, and re-
fused to pay any more bills for lighting the
street lamps. A receiver was appointed and
the litigation has been going cn ever sinc4
In 1877 the circuit court gave decision in
favor of the city, and this was confirmed
later by the court of appeals, but the su-
preme court Of the State has at last rendered
judgment in favor OF the company. The re-
suit is that the city must pay gas bill of
nearly a million dollars that has been
running up since 1870. while a million more
of profits that has been gathering in the
hands of the receiver during these years is
unlocked. There is thus about two million
dollars for immediate division among the
stockholders Of the company, while it is
guaranteed monopoly OF ten years more
for furnishing the greater part of the city
with gas. No wonder the shares Jumped
from 500 to $3.50 and 800 when tbs de-
cision was announced.

CAPTAIN GENERAL GRANT,
The Scheme to Put Him at the Head OF III
Arnsy Hith a. Regal Salary.

The Scheme to Put Him at the Head OF the
Artsy Nth a. Regal Salary.
washington Special (Nov. PSI to Cincinnati
Enquirer.
The scheme to make Grant a captain
general in the army, with a regal salary,
seems to be popular with his friends and his
enemies, with Republicans and Democrats.
The Republicans-that is, those who don't
want to see him President again-vili sup
port the proposition, because it will sheIve
him as Presidential candidate. For the
same reason the Democrats will unite in the
movement. The average Den ocrat seems to
be inbued with tho idea that ii Grant can
be gotten out of the way there is a good
chance for electing Democratic President,
but that if he is nominated the chances are
exceedingly small. Some Of Grants friends,
who will probably advocate the measure,
will do SO because they believe that General
Grant would prefer the position hs heid
when the Republican party first
took him up, rather than
again mix in the turmoil Of political strife.
Then again Grant has friends in tue Rs
publican patty who will fght the proposition,
because they really want him to be the
Presidential nominee. The plan OF this
class will be, when the bill is brought III, if
it receives the favorable report OF a COM
mittee, to endeavor to amend it, and instead
of creating new Office for him retirs him as
an ex-President. This will be done solely 10
raise diversion, because those who will
urge it know that such scheme would be q
dangerous innovation, sbecause other Presi-
dents might claim the same provision, par
ticularly if they happened to be poor. Gen.
Sherman and his friends oppose, of coxrse,
making Grant a captain general, because it
would put him ii command of the army and
leave General Sherman nothing to
do. The General is heartily in &C.
cord, though, with the plan to retire
Grant as an e1-President, because that
would get him out of his way and Brother
Johns at the same time. Grant has friends
here who assume to say that he would treat
either propositions with scorn-that he has
40 desire to be pensioned upon the govern
ment in almost the capacity of q pauper while
he is yet possessed of his faculties, health
and strength. 70 sum up the schemes of
those who seem so SOLICITORS concerning
Grants future, the prediction will very prob
ably be proved to be true by the events Of
time that no action at all will be taken by
Congress. There will be good deal OF talk
and buster, and it will be fer the purpose OF
drawing the silent man out. Meanwhile re
will be travelling quietly in Mexico. and will
arrive home and come east through the
southern States. His friends say that a
boom will then 60 up for him which poll
tlclans can not check, and which will strike
terror to the hearts of other aspiring Presi-
Dental candidates.

STORY OF A MURDER.
Laura D. Fair Tells Thy She Killed Mr.,
CrittendeH.


CrittendeH.
New Haven Register.i
Mrs. Laura D. Fair will lecture at the
Grand Opera House tomorrow evening on
"Chips From California; Yesterday she
was visited by a representative OF the Reals
ter, and consented to be interviewed on 1.-The
one great tragedy Of her life,'' as she ex-
pressed it. Mrs. Fair, the widow of Colonel
Fair, of California, is a fire appearing lady
of graceful manner.
II suppose you want to hear of the one
great tragedy of my life,' said Mrs Fair,
although I can assure you that it is very
unpleasant one for me to repeat. Some two
years after my husband, Colonel Fair, died,
I was courted BY II Mr. Crittenden, who at
tended me assiduously.'
"Where Wero you living at that time?r
"Oh. this was in Virginia City, Nevada.
Mr.. Crittenden, as I was saying, courted me
and showed me every attention. l gave up
everything for him, not needing the warn
ings of my friends and family. At last I
found out that be was married man with a
family, although hs lived separate from
them. OF course informed him of my
knowledge of the circumstances, and re-
quested that our intimacy be broken of. He
IN manner refused, saying that he would
obtain divorce as soon as possible. I
trusted him and waited eight years.
and that, you can imagine,
was faith indeed. In the mean
time he took no steps 10 free himself, and
constantly followed me and tracked me-
everywhere. I could not get rid of him.
though I tried very hard. I came East, and
in order to rid myself of his attentions and
the maledicti1ns of friends, I attempted to
gain admittance into the convent in New

LABOUCaERE ON MARRIAGE.
Il Bachelors Er PLANTATION of the Number of
British Old Maids

Il Bachelors E.r PLANTATION of the Number of
British Old Maids
London Truth, October 20
The number of we'll educated girls who
cannot find husbands has increased and
ought to be diminished. The only way in
which this can bs brought about is to do
away with the absurdity of parents giving
their sons more money than their daughters.
Girls without portions DO not find husbands
so readily as girls with portions, aad this is
no reflection upon men. A sensible man
may fall in love with a charming young
lady, but before marrying her he asks
himself whether he can afford it,
in precisely the same way as a person
before taking cab asks himself whether he
has enough money to pay the fare. If be
cannot afford himself the luxury of marry
ing his portionless love, he, if he be in
connubial mood, and should he come across
girl with money who will have him, mar
RES her. Perhaps, at first, be regrets his
first love. But be soon settles down to his
second love if she be nice and pleasant. and
these marriages de faaSo1s, III nine cases out
OF ten, turn out we'll enough. English peo-
pie have mania to die rich; they never like
parting with their money until the grave
separates them from it. And when
they do die, they either leave al
most everything to their eldest son,
or leave more to their sons than to their
daughters. Parents need not strip them
eelves, like pelicans, to their skins, in order
to give all that they have to their children,
but they ought while they are alive to do
far more for them than is the habit with Us,
and when they die they should take very
good care to provide according to their
means for their daughter. A woman is
far more helpless being than man. If
the latter is worth his salt he can with
out great difficulty convert little
money into great deal. But wifi a
woman this is not the case. Give her
small capital and she has to live on the in
terest it brings in, for she has no means to
augment it. Therefore, if I had sons and
daughters, I should try to overcome my natu-
raj seldshness and give what could to the
latter in order to aid them to pick up good
husbands. but in any case I should
by my will leave more to nv
daughters than to my Sous. One of the
main reasons why girls are not so advan-
tageousiyitreated IS boys in wills is that. these
documents are generally drawn up by men.
If . woman has money to leave size seldom
heaps it all on one individual OF favors men
at the cost of those Of her own sex, but she
fairly appropriates her wealth among those
Of her relations entitled to it.

WORK FOR GRANT,

The RMror that He is to Accept the Pre- ST.
dency of the Nicaragua Canal Re-
rired.
Washington Special.
The story is again revived that General
Grant is to accept the presidency of the
Nicaraguan canal enterprise. Admiral AM
men, one Of the generals closest friends,
who resides here, has letter stating that a
prominent resident of Nicaragua is now on
his way to this country from Europe, and
that if General Grant will accept tie preai-
dency of the canal scheme that the Roths-
chiids viii subscribe onethird of the capital
necessary to complete the project. The let
ter resolved by Ammen was yesterday tele-
graphed General Grant in Chicago, coupled
with an additional dispatch from Ammen to
Grant, Deseeching him to accept.
Ammen has written to-day, it
is said, urging Grant to come to New York
and meet the bearer of the Rothschilds let
ter at the banking house of August Belmont,
who is the agent of the Rothschilds in this
country. ..s..
The New York Herald of to-day has an
interview with Grant on the subject by its
Chicago correspondent. He is asked the di-
rect question: "Would you accept the presi-
dency OF the Nicaraguan Inter Ocean Canal
company If offered to yoas'' to which Gen.
Grants reply is quoted to be: II should not
like to say would accept it upon rumcr
simply that the money could be raised.

Boston, Nov. 26.-It is now asserted that the
recent statement that Archbishop Williams
decision on the parochial school question fully
sustained the action of Father Scuiiy, is sub
-stautislly incorrect. 1t is claimed by some OF
those present at the synod, that the substance
of the statement made by the archbishop was
that while he recommended the establishment
of parochial schools, wherever practicable,
he was utterly opposed to extreme measures in
any matter connected with them, that under
certain circumstances where parents refused
to send their children to these schools, the
right OF sacrament might be temporarily with
held, but whenevera case Of that nature oc-

fact to be made to the bishop, and he alone
