A fashionable lady Of San Francisco
attired herself in party dress, and had a
full-length photograph taken. Envelop-
ing her tightly-laced fnery in balloon
cloak, she descended to the street, hailed
a street car, and seated herself within.
When her street was reached she mo-
toned to the conductor, and attempted
to rise. But 80 tightly was the poor
thing harnessed that she couldn't get up,
and blushing scarlet, she told the con-
.ductor that she would go few blocks
further. When the terminus of the line
was reached and the last gentleman had
left the Car, the conductor asked her if
she wanted to ride back. "No, sir" she
replied with sweet simplicity; II merely
want some help, for 1 can't get up" The
conductor set her on her feet, and she
walked home wiser woman.

back to Georgia and opened an Office al

cations poured in upon him. His usual
Zee was $500, but he procured great
many for nothing, and Others for reduced
tees. In a short time he went to Wash
ington, stayed week or ten days, and re-
turned with 15S amnesty papers. For
these he collected $685. Judge Loch-

General TOombs made much of his
money by his Texas land speculations,
put ne is authority for the statement
that, TOR year after year, when he de-
voted himself to his practice, his income
from fees was over $4,000. He has
made no very large fees since the war
that we know Of, except his fee from the
Sta1e in the railroad cases, which will
amount to over SAC, 900 if be gets a rea-
sonable percentage. In the Dupree will
case 1t is said that he and Mr.. Hill got
$4,000 apiece, but it is more probable
that it was $1,000. A. H. Stephens has
never pushed his practice for the pay
that was in it, and has only taken
special cases for many years. The per-
centage on the sales OF his books and his
salary as Congressman give him many
times over what his simple wants require,

tied in a short time. Mr.. Guerrard is
said to have an interest in this decision

yield him fee of about $4,000. Col.

The fact that Mr.. Chisholm of Savan.
nah had been awarded a fee of $4,000 in
the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad case has
raised the question 'of lawyers fees in
general. ....
The Hon. Benz. H. Hill has made more
money at his profession, without ques-
tion, than any other lawyer in the State.
His fee in the famous Metcalfe case is
said to have been $4,000, but I under
stand that he received only 100000 in
cash. This was not his largest fee, as
during the war, in 1862, when Confeder-
ate money was good, he received over
100000 in case in East Tennessee. In
the litigation over the Kimball House he
received at first part of the house Zone
third interest, I believe), and this was
cashed upon Kimbalps entrance into the
ownership. He sold his interest for
$25, 900 cash, which, with the rents for
some time, represented his fee. Mr.. Hill
has received several $4,000 fees, and
would to-day be a very rich man had he
not made enormous losses in cotton
planting. .,-
l asked Judge Lochrane what he had
made in the practice Of law, and he re-
piled:
"More than my weight in solid gold"
We weighed 500 gold piece, found
that it weighed just an ounce; multi
piled by sixteen, we had 1920 as the
value of pound of gold. Judge Loch-
rane weighs 1872 pounds which at 1920,
made his value in solid gold $58, ,240.
We presented these figures to him, and
he said that he had made four3or five
times that much. We have no doubt of
this. At the close Of the war he had
nothing. He has always been high
liver and man of generous habits.
And yet he pays taxes now on $110, 900
worth of Atlanta city property alone,
eligibly situated and well rented. He
made $53, 900 in fees in the Brunswick &
Albany Railroad litigation. The parties
representing the State in that case as
Commissioners got, according to Judge
Lochrane, $4,000 each. Judge Loeb
rane made fee of $25, 900 in some lot
terry cases, in which he represented Sim
mons, Dickinson g. Co.
The most lucrative special practice by
a Georgia lawyer for short time was by
Judge Lochrane just at the close Of the
war. He had gone to Washington with
several lawyers, on the way to New York.

 CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The members of the Italian family at 46 West Randolph street, made sick by eating raw ham containing trichine, are still sick. Louise Palinghie, the mother, now widow, her husband hay ing succumbed to the terrible disease, lies very near the point of death. Mary, eleven years of age, and Lima, six years of age, are in the same condition, wasting away and los ing strength every hour. Johnnie, eight years of age, is little better and able to sit up. The doctor has hopes of the little fel- lows recovery, but cannot offer any encour- agement regarding the others. The charac- teristics of the sickness are loss of flesh, the form dwindling to a skeleton in short time, pains through the muscles ana abdomen, seeming to wear the very bone, extreme thirst accompanied by loss of sleep, and hour after hour passes in feverish restlessness. Above all the patient becomes so weak that they cannot turn over. The appetite is good and when the animalcul@ penetrate the heart or other vital parts death comes at once
 Another revolting case of illness from eat ing raw ham infested with trichinse came to public notice in this city today. H. c. Han sen, contractor living at 635 North Ashland avenue, purchased 8 smoked and sugar cured ham, and on Sunday evening, Novem- Der 28, he and his family, consisting of his wife and three children, ate quantity of it thinly sliced with bread. The parents ate from two to four ounces and the children a less quantity. Next day the parents felt pains in the stomach, and on the fifth day were un- able to leave their beds. They have gradual ly grown worse and now have little hopes of recovery. The children as yet have not shown any dangerous symptoms. The piece of ham of which they ate was examined under microscope and in one ounce 15,OOO trichinae were discovered

Mrs. Bergmann's InfatuatioR - Still
 Searching f1T rat9s the Beanaida1 Rt h a1"ng 1a14g
 NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Mrs. Swain, mother of Mrs. Bergman, the Philadelphia runa- way arrived at police headquarters this morn ing and was forthwith admitted to President French's presence. A few minutes later Ma tron Webb was summoned and protracted consultation ensued, at which the best means of compelling the wayward wife to return to the keeping of her friends was discussed Mrs. Swain, who is old and an invalid, insisted that she must return or meas ures of coercion must be resorted to. Her husband has taken steps to sue for | separation and ultimate divorce, and is about l to return to Sweden, declaring that he will l have nothing more to do with his wife. When Mrs. Bergman went to the Park Ave nue Hotel three weeks ago she promised to submit to the treatment of her medical ad- visers and to an operation which would re- store her to proper health and reason. She, | however refused positively to submit to the operation when the physicians proposed to perform 1t and acted more erratically than ever At the same time her infatuation for
 the young Spaniard whose acquaintance she had made on the steamer France re-
 actions. Full freedom was allowed
 her and she constantly roamed about the streets and places of amusement searching for the Spaniard. Commissioner | French at last determined upon what he deemed an effective plan of curing her of her | infatuation On inquiry of the young Span \ iard, who is now resident of this city, it was learned that his acquaintance
 with the lady has never gone further than a mild Irritation on
 board the ship, and that he was not only desirous but anxious to have nothing to do l with her. An interview was arranged be-
 tween them, the young mans guardian, an l interpreter Mir. French and Mrs. Webb be- ing present. She appeared overjoyed at sec | ing him and was little abashed when the | young man broke out in Spanish which she speaks slightly, with 'sWhat the devil do you want with me anyhow ?e
 The young man continued in this strain, and 1 said he desired to have nothing to do with her. When he left Mrs. Bergman said she believed the young man spoke as he did un- der compulsion, and she could scarcely credit I what he said as the state of his feelings to- wards her. In an interview to-day Mrs Swayne gave her daughter, Mrs. Bergman
 to understand that she must change her conduct or she would resign her guardian I ship into the hands of a trustee. Mrs Swayne asked Mrs. Bergman to go to Europe with her, but although not
 refusing, the young lady asked for weeks
 delay to make up her mind. At 9 o'clock to- night Mrs. Bergman came to police head l quarters to visit Matron Webb. She looked tired and her skirts were bedraggled with
 mud, and it was supposed she had been again searching for the Spaniard.

A SoOthsayer's Predictions Verified-Th
 Stellarton Mines Again Ablaze.


 A soothsayer's Predictions verffied-The
 stellarton Mines Again Ablaze.
 HALIFAX, Dec. 1.-The doom of the AL bion mines, at Stellarton, seems really fixed. The last two disasters there were predicted by an old soothsayer named Mrs Coe, who named the very days upon which they were to occur. Recently she again came into prominence by pretending to see further dis asters approaching for the Pictou coal mines. After the fearful accuracy of her former pre- dictions, the least superstitious felt almost inclined to believe her, and so many men re- fused to go into the pits at the Vale colliery that work was seriously interfered with, and she was rated by the local papers as a worth less humbug and mischief maker. As no accident did occur, at many of the mines work was resumed, and faith in the sooth- saver was lost. She, however, continued her warning, saying she foresaw disaster, but in which pit she could not say. For the last few days it was hoped that all danger of further immediate disaster in the Albion mines was past and successful opening up of the large pit was looked for daily. But our doom to another calamity became ap- parent when the news spread that the Cage
 
 nectsd with the Foord pit, where the late ex- plosion occurred, by long tunnel up which the fire must have been burning before the Foord pit was flooded About o'clock MT. Rutherford with some others descended the shaft to examine the condition of the pit. They had only reached the bottom when they discovered heavy fire in their immediate vii cinity. They recognized their perilous posi- ton and at once rapr ed for cages to ascend Two heavy explosions followed instantly, the party barely escaping with their lives. Dense volumes of smoke now poured out of every opening. AS soon as the situation was re- alized orders were given to close up the shaft and the work was at once begun. It is inn possible to predict the results. Everything now looks very bad and the fire may not be controlled for many days to come, as the pit cannot be flooded. The bank of slack coal on the surface at the Foord pit is on fire, the result of spontaneous combustion it is thought. This is all the coal now on the sur face fit for coking, and the loss of it would be serious. Efforts are being made to extin- guish the fire, which it is hoped will be suc- cessful The outlook for the miners in the Albion mines is now indeed gloomy, as they see the last hope of employment this winter gone.

What Was It !


 The New London Telegram of last evening relates the following strange story: A gentleman of this city whose veracity is unquestioned, and who is thoroughly skeptical on the subject of visitants from the spirit world, relates this strange experience which happened to him on the evening of Friday last. His home is on Ocean avenue, near the Great Neck road, and he had been spending the evening at a friends residence in town. Shortly after ten o'clock he bade his host good night and mounted his horse, which stood tied in front of the house, for his home ward journey. As he neared the first open lot beyond MT. Daniel Lees place, the horse began to act strangely and evinced an unwil- ingness to proceed. The night was clear and cold, and objects could be seen at a distance, standing out in relief against the bright moon light. Looking around to discover if possible the cause of the animals uneasiness, the gentleman saw, standing in an angle of the wall few rods ahead of him, what was ap- parently the figure of a man. He urged the horse forward, ashamed of his own growing anxiety and resolved to pay no attention to the singular actions of the man unless he should make some hostile demonstration. As he passed the corner where the figure stood, 1t moved rapidly forward from the wall and took up position beside the moving horse. No word was spoken, nor was any suspicious movement made on the part of the unknown. The rider said nothing and for moment or two kept his horse at a walking gait, as though oblivious of the others presence. The singular silence of his strange compan- ion at last proved too much for his patience, and he urged his horse into a sharp trot. The figure still kept close beside him. Thor oughly alarmed he finally put spurs to his horse and galloped him for nearly mile at the top of his speed At one time he thought he had distanced his mysterious shadow, but turning to look in the other direction found him still at his side, though he had changed his position from the left to the right hand curve. ''Just as the light from my kitchen window began to glimmer around the curve of the road" said the gentleman, 'sthe spook, or whatever it was, shot rapidly ahead of my galloping horse and disappeared down the road towards Elliot's beach, leaving me to stumble into the house more dead than alive. So utterly bewildered was I with this strange apparition that it was over an hour before I remembered that had left my horse outside without opening the stable door that he might find his way into his stall himself I took lantern and went out immediately to put the poor beast up and found him shiver- ing in front of the barn. but whether from cold or fright of course couldn't tell'' The gentleman who relates this story is above re- proach in every way, and were we to tell his name the most skeptical would be shaken in their iucredulity
