LITTLE MALoNEY's NEW GOAT.
How Naturalists Discovery Brought a
 Small Boy to Grief.
San Francisco Chronicle.


 San Francisco Chronicle @
 A small put sparsely freckled Natoma street boy sat in the Pollce Court dock, weeping bitterly. He was charged by his father with disturbing the peace and leading dissolute life. His name was Molony. His father was a contractor who, at the expense of the city managed to earn an honest political living. They took newspaper. and the unfortunate boy read an incendiary item to the effect that Frank Buckland, the naturalist, had discovered that goat was an excellent thing to keep in a stable along with horses, as it would face fire and the horses would follow it through flames. He thought it over. He wanted to show his father what thoughtful and con- siderate boy he was. Besides. he want ed goat. He went down on Rincon Hill and found one. 1t was goat of Irish proclivities and ownership and of the male gender Would it face fire? It would. It wasn't expensive to keep. It had lived for month on shingle-nails and oyster cans and the different ropes with which it had been tethered. Would the man sell it? He would give this one away because he liked the little boys looks. And the poor. unsuspecting little boy started for Natoma street. down First, the goat leading the boy. He felt pretty good for goat. Whenever a horse went by or a dog hove in sight he would get up on his hind legs and walk Spanish, while the dogs let out for the Mission and the children on the front piazzas had fits on an average of about eight to the block. Finally the goat got an idea, and ricochetted up Mission street in jumps that would have sprained the ankle of any goat but him. The boy acted as rudder and steered him to Nat oma street. It was after dark. There was hay in the stable visable through the open door. The goat debated the matter for while and then went in.
 The boy said nothing about the in- vestment to his kind and loving parents. Fortunately his father was down at the grocery and knew nothing. He would come home so full of politics that he couldn't tell goat from a six-bit um- brella unless the goat had chance to explain. He hoped that his father would not go to the stable. He prayed that he wouldn't He had faith and confidence in his father, but he doubted that goat. The $3-clock in his bedroom struck II and he kreW Dy that that It was l1:45, and that the old man would be along shortly. He heard him coming. Heard the gate slam and then, first tremblingly and then in anguish, heard his fathers footsteps going toward the stable He heard the paddock rattle, heard the door swing wide open, and then he heard whizz, a spasmodic puff as If small balloon had bursted. and then skiffing noise as the heels of his fathers boots slid along the blanks and fell backwards in the mud about eight feet and three-quarters from the door. He raised the window and looked weep ing and silent on the scene. He knew what the goat could do, and it was hard to hear dear father gasp like gold fish as he tried to infate himself again. Finally he forced down enough wind for meagre conversational purposes. He said:

HIGH LIFE.
BEAUTY, ,HnnLLIAxTsA AND BOOZE
A-Chnpter From the Life OF Frlsixy
Frisco Maid sejourning In
New .Yorlx-The Rest
Surmfsed.

New York, Jan. 31.-Late last night
party of eight gentlemen and ladies
drove up in coaches to Seighortner's
private restaurant, 80, Lafayette place,
adjoining the Astor library, and order
ed a first-class dinner. They made a
jolly party, and feasted in one of the
private parlors of the establishment
until after midnight.
OF the four gentlemen, one was rec
ognized as the agent of one of the great
lines of ocean steamers, and one of the
others, at least, as a business man of
the very highest standing, and of well
known social proclivities.
The ladies were richly dressed, and
apparently belonged to the upper ten
dom.
AT 2 O'Clock this morning the SER
geant at the Mercer street police sta
tion was astonished by the entrance of
the entire party in q high state of ex-
citement. One of the ladies', who
proudly described herself as Miss AL
line Stowell, the wealthy bankress of
San Francisco, made a complaint that
one of the gentlemen in her presence
had robbed her of diamond ring worth
1900. This, she said, she had in her
satchel that lay by her side at the table
where the party were eating. When
she arose it was missing, and seeing
the accused at the table yet when she
returned to look for it, she concluded
he had taken it. The gentleman gave
his name as Ocary Livingston, and de-
MED the charge.
Miss Stowell, upon being questioned,
admitted that she had told her partner
at the table, who was perfect stranger
to her, of the contents of the satchel.
She then refused to press the complaint
and left the station with the rest of the
fashionable party. She informed the
sergeant that at the Hoffman house she
had $50, 900 on deposit in the safe, and
did not care for the money value of the
ring.
AT the restaurant they are very reti-
cent as TO the disappearance of the
ring.

From tho Kansas City Journal.
The Denver s. Rio Grande railway
which has been so prominent in the
daily dispatches during the past year, is
the subject of a serious railroad scandal
1t is claimed that when controlling
interest, or what was supposed to be a
controlling interest, was sold to the
Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe, the
stock of the Denver road had been
secretly increased, so that the transfer
of AZ, 800 shares of the Denver Sc Rio
Grande to t. Jefferson Coulidge, the
representative of the Atchison road, in
December, 1878, did not transfera ma
jority of the stock, which had been
swollen by secret meeting of the di-
rectors to three times that amount.
The very stock Transferred was kept
back under one excuse and another and

Paris, Jan. 31.-Pere Hyacinthe has
asked the prefect of the Seine to grant
him the use of the church of Assump.
tion, rue st. Honore, occupied by the
Polish confraternity. The pere pleads
that his present church is unsuitable
being too small and too high rented, and
that his work addresses itself to per-
sons requiring religion free from super
stition and fanaticism.
The application will doubtless be re-
fused, as his community occupies the
same position as the Protestant free
churches, which provide their own edi
fees and pay their own pastors.

Chicago, Jan. 31.--Col. II. G. Inger-

the presidential question. lie believes
that Grant is practically out of the

chances very largely in favor of the
former, who he believes will be the
easiest man for the republicans to elect.

which he holds.

New York, Jan. 3l.-The suit of the
Manufacturers and Merchants bank
against Louis Lovenson, to recover
S34 900, the amount alleged to have
been stolen from the bank by means of
a conspiracy between defendant and a
book-keeper named J. r. Hawes, re-
suited in a verdict for the bank for the
full amount claimed, with interest.
Hawes lost his share of the money
stolen playing policy" and buying lot
terry tickets. The faithIess book-keeper
took the stand and told the whole
story of the robbery.
a striking incident of the trial was a
charge made by the defense that the
plaintiffs had bought for $3.50, from a
former counsel of defendant, the docu-
ments deemed necessary for the sue
cessful prosecution of the suit. The
judge expressed his natural indigna-
tion at such a disgraceful action, and
stated that if the accusation shonld
prove true he would take steps to have
the treacheIous lawyer disbarred.

HARD ON HAYT.
,us TRUE INwARDNEss OUT.
Using Commissioner Hayt to Strike
at secretary schurz = Press
Comments Rejecting
Severely.

New York, Jan. 31.--A special to the
Tribune from Washington, evidently
nrompted by well informed parties in
the Indian service, shows that the late
commissioner, Hayt, was Secretary
schurz' favorite officer; that Schurz
caused the summary retirement of
Commissioner J. @, Smith against
President Hayes private wishes, and
insisted OH Hayt's appointment, al
though Grant had previously removed
him for cause, from the board of Indian
commissioners; that Schurz has been
persistent in his defense of Hayt
against the growing opposition and
alienation of the best friends of the
Indians from the administration, refus-
ing to entertain complaints against
him, and even sending him letters
transmitted by the president, complain
ing of Hayt's management, and which
we're pigeon-holed by the latter without
further investigation by Schurz.
On some occasions Hayt's acts were
of such character that they attracted
the attention of the president. Some
Of his removals were of the most cruel
character. Men and women were
turned out and subjected to great suf-
fering simply that he might make places
for favorites, and when called to ac-
count for it he explained his course in
way that was perfectly satisfactory to
the secretary of the interior.
1t is alleged in New York that there
has been an understanding between
Hayt and Schurz by which the latter
has been able to provide Offices for his
own friends; also, under the guise of
reform, that Inspector Hammond has
been retained, though notoriously in
competent, because lie is connected
with the Shermans.
The Tribune says it is pretty certain
that before the president appoints an
other commissioner of Indian affairs
he will reqqire some additional recon-
mendation to that of Secretary Schurz.
The San says: The story of the
manner in which Commissioner Hayt
obtained his office, as told by member
of the board of commissioners, is as
follows: Hayt was formerly member
of the board; he was removed for cause
by Chandler and Grant. When the
present administration came into Office
some of Hayt's friends went to Schurz
and asked that Hayt be made commits
sioner.
"What are his qualifications for the
place. asked Schurz.
HE was formerly member of the
board" was the reply, land he vas re-
moved by Chandler and Grant"
The fact that Hayt had been removed
by two such stalwarts was considered
by Schurz to be sufficient for Hayt's
appointment under the reform admin
istration.
A special to the evening Post, hith-
erto friendly to Schurz, says: The
conse of Hayt's dismissal was evidently
the investigation by the commissioners
of Gen. Flsk's charges. The Hart
matter was only one bolt, but Hayt
was brought down on the first fire,
The commissioners investigation was
stopped, of course, by Schurz' action,
although a report will be made at the
sitting in New York next Tuesday.
The commissioners feel that Schurz'
action was unnecessarily sudden, pend
ing their report. This would have
recommended removal.
