A Bad MAN TuFna Looao.

Virginia new Chronicle.l
A Virginia gentleman, just up from
San Francisco, confded some of his
experiences to a Chronicle reporter
yesterday. While at the bay he
stopped at the Palace Hotel and made
a practice of dropping into the bar
room of the establishment of an even
ing, it being a retired and rather high
toned place. On Wednesday evening
last the Comstocker lounged into the
bar-room and was pleased to behold
there as the only occupants, Senator
Sharon, Seth Cook, Tom Sunderland
and a few other historic capitalists,
sitting at a large round table, in the
center of which stood sundry bottles
bearing the mystical word "Roederer."
Presently a middle-aged man, soberly
dressed in black broadcloth and wear
ing a plug hat, staggered in from
the hallway, and lurching up to the
bar yelled for everybody to come up
and have something to drink. The
Sharon-Coo party paid no attention
to the boisterous new arrival, but quiz
city went on with their gossip and
Roederer. Giving a furious whoop,
and smashing his tile down on his
head, the stranger performed a war
dance to the middle of the room and
declared himself. He was a bad man,
he said, and always made it a practice
to strew upon the floor the bowels of
persons who declined to drink upon
his invitation, To point his remarks,
the stranger wound up by drawing the
eighteen-inch Arkansas toothpic from
the back of his collar and advanced
upon the table. There was a STAN
pede. When the Virginian peeped up
from behind the bar, to which position
he had quietly and calmly walked at
the begiening Of the trouble, he per-
ce;ved that Sharon and his friends had
gone out, and that a policeman was
Juggling the warlike stranger out of the
place.
Who is hep" asked the Virginia
man Of the bar keeper.
oh, he's a good enough man when
he isn't in liquor, replied the man 81
drinks, neryously polishing the rose.
wood bar with a towel. "He was one
of the quietest men | ever saw when
he first came here about two DAYS ago,
but he's bad when he's full"
From Bodie, l suppose" sug-
gested the Virginian.
Bodice He'll, no. He's from
Boston. He belongs to that Sunday
school excursion party

SWALLOWING PULvERIZBD Glass; From
the ShakeDee (Minn.) argus. MIR. Cichia
Lensbure, LIE Sueur county, got on spree
last week, Monday, 1T Montgomery, and Of
fered to wager that he could swallow the
glass contained in whiskey flask. The
wager was taken up by one of the patty
present; whereupon the drunken man pro-
ceeded to swallow the pulverized glass, and
also a talow-candle. Strange TO relate, that
night he felt no il!-efects caused by the
rash deed; but next day the glass be-
gan to cut and grind his bowels, COM
pelling the man to writhe and scream in
agony. This continued until Thursday
morning, when the poor wretch was
brought to New Prague, in the deluslve
hone that physician could save him from
his inevitable and faSt-approaching death.
OF course no physicians skill could now
save or even prolong the life which had
been so deliberately, though unknoWingly,
taken. It was pititul and heartreudins to
hear the poor mortal moan and scream in
| agony as the death-dealng glass slowly but
constantly cut its way into the vitals. This
could not long continue, however, and
death kindly relieved the suffering man
| Thursday afternoon. A postmorte1n eX-
animation was held, and the mans stomach
and intestlnes were found to be literally
ground to pieces.
A wife and nine children are left depend
ent by the foolhardiness Of a man crazed by
drink. This may prove timely warning
| to those addicted to the excessive use OF
4 substance so deadly in It's final effects as
that swallowed by the man who came to 50
untimely an end.

Ouite an exciting scene occurred ut the
Chattanooga depst yesterday afternoon on
the arrival of the ) O'Clock train from the
South. The train had hardly ceased rolling
before a womau's wall, loud and long, rose
above the hustle and the buzz that prevailed.
The first idea that suggested itself 20 the
mind was that some sister, or cousin, or aunt
had fallen underneath the wheels ana had
been horribly manned. A grand rush was
made to tue spot. People quickencd their
steps as successive hystercal shrieks rent
the air. The outcry even reached the ears
OF Generai-Supe1intend Thomas, who
rushed Immediately down stairs, expect
ing to witness some ghastly spectacle.
By this time the crowd bad gather
ed closely about a tall man and his
wife, the latter Of whom was still shout
ing: * MY koEg-lost chiidl oh, my long
lost child!" while she beat her husband
and other people on the back, and kept those
nersops nearest to her continually dodging.
Now and then she would embrace little
mute girl who ind been absent at the State
Deaf and Dumb School for the past ten
months. The lirtle girl was shedding tears
freely and cooked iup at her mother as II she
did not eyaetsy am derstand it all. Mean time
the husband, who seemed to appreciate the
situation keeniy, attempted to quiet his %.1e,

THE SMOKE OF INTERNAL FIRES ISSUING FRoh
THE SUMMIT OF MOUNT HOOD, OREGON.
From the Portland Bee.i
At9 O'Clock Yesterday morning any per-
son observing Mount Hood could have no.
iced with the naked eye q changing cloud
OF smoke that hung upon the south side OF
the mountain far above the snow line and
climbing almost to the summit On OBJ
serving this carefully with glass 1t was
plainly to be seen that the smoke changed
its form and movement constantly, appa-
renily pouring out OF the south side OF the
mountain from half to one quarter OF a
mile below the summit. Those who have
aScendcd the mountain locate the site OIL an
old crater on the southwest side some dis
tancc below the summit. They have TO
cross this locality to make the ascent, and
always find sulphurous fumes issuing
from the crcviccS and the rocks heated by
interna! fires.
There is no doubt that Mount Hood at
times sends forth cruptlons OF smoke,
though such manifestations arc not OF fire.
qucnt occurrence, or, at least, are not often
reported. We have lived within view OF
the mountain for nearly thirty years, and
have only once bcforc-about fifteen years
aco->ccn unmiStakable emission Of smoke,
which lasted about an hour, and came from
the same part OF the mountain that we OBJ
served it Yesterday, and each time Tue fact
OF it being smoke was not to be doubted.
Fifteen years ago the phenomenon occurred
upon winter day, when the sky was
blue, without spcck OF cloud to tecK
| il, and the smoke Sreamcd norlhward
! from the mountain in dense black cloud.
! We have seen the time when excitement
was created, some years ago, by the rumor
| that Mount Hood was smoking. A crowd
| gathered on high roof and observed 1t
with glasses, but the phenomenon was
| caused by atmospheric conditions that drew
the mis;> and iogs from the lower sorSes
snd made them wreath around the summit.
The difference between this Iight-co!ored
cnycloping mist, rising from the base OF
the mountain. and the black, sulphurouS
appearance OF smoke pouring directly
out OF the side Of Ii, from among The
SHOWS, was evident to any practical eye.
Yesterday morning the sky was clear, with i
slight haze and few light, fleecy clouds
hanging above the Cascade range at inter
walls. but the whole base and summit OF
Mount Hood were clear OF them, while the
| unmistakable wreath OF sulphur smoke
hung just below the very summit, remain
ing there for over two hours. contorted by
| the movement of the winds. Towards noon
| feecy clouds enyelopcd the mountain, and
| Tor awhile the difference between cloud
and smoke was distinctly visible, but after
ward the outlines of the snowy peak were
obscurcd. and when they were plain again,
at , O'Clock p. NJ, there was no smoke to
! be seen.
