Rich Congressmen-.-Who They Are and
How They Made Their Fortunes.

A Washington letter in the Buffalo
CONNER cial Adrertiser says: see par
agraph floating around the newspapers
to the effect that Senator Henry G. Davis
is the richest man in West Virginia
guess this is true, and, like all the rich
men in Congress, he did not inherit, but
earned his money. When he was seven-
teen years old Senator Davis was a
brakesman on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. He was promoted from one
position to another until he became a
man of considerable importance upon
the road, whenhe found more lucrative
employment as superintendent of coal
mines in West Virginia. Here he began
to grow rich, until by able management
and wise foresight he has accumulated
an immense fortune. Senator Davis is a
man of some oddities, and often annoys
his fellow Senators with the persistency
with which he pursues whatever he un-
dertakes, whether it be an ignts tatsus
or something practical; but, leaving his
hobbies out of consideration, he is an ex-
cellent man and useful Senator. n
The rich Congressman are Newberry
of Michigan, Morton and Starin of New
York, Loring and Russell of Massachu-
sets, Singleton Of Illinois; and the rich
Senators are Sharon and Jones Of Ne
vada, Don Cameron, Davis of West
Virginia, and Davis of Illinois, McPher-
son of New Jersey and Baldwin of Mich
igan, and, as stated, they all COM
menced life in poor and humble circum-
stances.
Senator Baldwin made his money in
the mercantile business, commencing in
a small way in Detroit in 1888, about
the time the late Senator Chandler COM
menced.
Congressman Newberry made his
money in manufacturing. He has been
a jack at all trades, railroad man,
civil engineer, lawyer and manufact-
urer. He is now president of thirty-five
corporations for manufacturing enter
prises.
Judge Davis, of Illinois, made his by
wise investments in the early history of
that State. General Singleton made his
in a similar way "a
Morton, of New York, commenced
early as merchant, and moved from
New England to New York just in time
to catch the flood tide at the commence
ment of the war. Mr.. Starin was a
clerk in drug store when he was boy,
but got beginning as boatman, and
now controls more water craft than any
man in the world.
Sharon and Jones made their money
in mines.
Mcpherson, of New Jersey, in cattle
dealing.
Loring and Russell in manufacturing.

The Best Fire Apparatus.

: Norwich. Conn, is supplied with water
from an artificial pond three and half
miles from the city. It's brought to the
city in pipes by gravity pressure. The
city is provided with two way hydrants
located not more than 600 feet apart. A
water pressure is obtained at the hydrants
equal to eighty-five pounds to the square
inch, which will throw an effective fire
stream over any building in the place.
Chief Carrier relies entirely upon the
hydrant pressure. He uses four-wheel
hose carriages. 600 feet of hose on each
reel, and twenty men to each company.
He has four steamers, but they only re-
spond to second alarms, and have not
been called out in a year and half.
The department controls all fires by
means of the hydrant streams. This is
the cheapest and best fire service to be
obtained-fire streams direct from hy-
drants. Cities putting in waterworks
should keep this point in view.-Scisn-

How q CredulOus Indiana Miller Was
Taken In By Gypsies.

The New York Sun of a recent date
publishes the following curious story:
Two aged gypsies were brought as
prisoners into Justice Walsh's Police
Court, in Brooklyn, yesterday, on a
charge of grand larceny preferred by
Deputy Sheriff r. I. Tingle Of Gibson
County, Indiana, who accused them of
having robbed William Jessop, wealthy
and much respected resident of Prince
ton, in that county, Of $3.50. The
prisoners gave the names of Timothy
Warton aged sixty-two, and Mary War
ton, aged sixty-one. The man said he
was born in Ireland, although he claimed
to be a genuine gypsy, and to have been
king of several tribes. He is known to
own a hotel in Hoboken worth $40, 900,
to have lands in Kansas, and to own
property elsewhere; but, nevertheless,
he leads a gypsy's rowing life, and trav-
els about with his wife, who tells fort
unes, and their three daughters, one Of

them across the cemetery. In the course
of the survey a small stick was driven in

and carried ahead, lathy, long legged
Hoosier overhauled the men, peeled off
his coat and danced around as he yelled
out: "Show me the man who dared
drive that stake in that grave y

replied one of the party.
II don't care if you are-show me the
man."
We'll, I'm the man, and what are
YOU going to do about it ;" said the big
man of the lot as he stepped out.
Didn't you know that was my wife
grave :" asked the Hoosier with consid-
erable fall to his voice.

"Well it is. sir-my first wife's grave.
"And what of that"
"What of that Why-why, sir, II
