A few months ago Alhan about thirty
five years old entered the law 6fflce of j..
S. R6etnthap and Informed him that he
was the son ofa aonnH who had died
shortlyabefcie, leaving property worth
several Thousand Collars to her children
'ligingin Baltimore. He stid he resided
10 another State, where he Had a. wife
and ehiIdftn, Shd' that he had come on
here to see if he was hot entitled to a
share Of his mOiher's estates MIR. Ro-
,ssnthal examined the dockets Of lhe Or
phans' Court, and found the Statement
atrue sstothe deathef the mother and
the amount other properiy,.s all Of which
had been lefuto the children Of herself
, and her lale husband, who had died
some years before the wife. They had
made wills some years before his death,
mutually devisiug TO each other all Of
the estate of the respective makers Of the
Wills for1 life, ,Jand then to their children.
BothIwills were fonnd, that of the wife,
which hpcame unnecessary on the hus-
bands deuths But the lawyer, TO his
surprise, learned thai the children who
inherited underthe willa and had al
ways lived at home with1 their mother,
knew nothing of the claimant, and deni-
ell having such a brother. 1t then came
out in the story told by the claimant
that he was the first child of his mother,
born before she ever knewher husband.
She had, with wonderful art, self-con-
troll, and success in the preservation of
her secret, concealed the child, putting
himin the care Of people who may have
suspected but never knew, where he
grew UP. When about ten or twelve
years old, in one of her interviews,
which, as the pretended intimate friend
of his dead mother, she held with the
boy, she told him for the first time what
their relationship was, snd eounseled
him with tears never to reveal it while
she lived, as it would prove the ruin of
both, aud deprive her of her ability, as.
an honored and trusted wife, to assist
him, as she had long been doing, with
means derived from her husband.
Young as he was he had implicitly obey
ed, and no suspicion Of their relationship
had ever been whispered, though after
he WAS grown he visited his mother as
an scquaintanee-7th son of her dead
friend still--und in her will she had left
him small legacy as her friend"
After hearing this remarkable stony, the
lawyer put the question 10 his client
whether II was worth the money (for
under the laws of this State an illeglti-
mate child can inherit from the mother,
though not from the father, to make
public by suit, facts that would bring
discredit on his mother, himself, and his
family, The claimant agreed that II was
not worth the cost. and the proposed
suit was abandoned. .r

Especial to the Galveston News.l

lcpeClAl 10 udifcbtOn NcWb'J
New Orleans, Dec. l3.--An ARRAY
occurred here to-day between Drs. J.
Dickson Brnns and G. M. Sternberg,
United States Army, anthor of late
report on the fever prevailing in Pla-
quemine last summer. The particu-
lars, as received from an eyewitness,
are as follows: Drs. Devron and Stern
berg were standing Immediately in
front of the Democrat Office, when DIR.
Bruins passed down stairs. Seeing the
two gentlemen, on reaching the street,
he said "good morning." Hearing no
reply from DIR. Sternberg, he repeated
the salutation, remarking: "Sir, l
spoke to you"
DR.. Sternberg turned away, saying {:
~ do not think that ] can speak to
you, after your reflections upon me
contained in the papers you read before
the Public Health Association"
To this DR.. Bruins replied sharply ::
"Sir, You are damned cad.'
At this, DIR. Sternberg struck DR..
Bruins, the blow hitting him on his left
cheek. A scuffle ensued, during which
DR.. Bruns, springiug forward to meet
his antagonist, fell against DR. Deyron,
who was trying to. separate the com
testants. His foot came in contact
with the cnrbing, and he fell to the
ground, catching himself on his hands
as be got mp, He asked DR.. Sternberg,
"Where can yon be foundg" 'At my
rooms," was the answer, and DR.. Stern
berg handed his card. This, DIR. Bruins
did not take, remarking that at was
unnecessary; both were gentlemen
and then walked off.
ollt j. pretty generally understood,
however, that the matter cannot end
here, and d hostile meeting mnst follow.

He AePt His Saddle.

Greenville, S. c. December 6.-This
morning about five o'clock, while the
southern bound passenger train was
whirling through space at the rate of
fifty miles an hour, figure on horse
back was observed by the engineer as
the train came laundering on down
grade few miles above this place.
The man attempted to cross the
track when the engine was only about
twenty yards away. In an instant,
before the lever could be reversed the
horse was struck dead and thrown off
the track. To the amazement of the
conductor and engineer, the man could
not be discovered. When the train
reached here and stopped at the station
he was found on the pilot of the en-
CINE, still sitting astride of his saddle,
stone dead.
He was an old ray-haired man, and
was recognized as George Martin,
well-to-do cotton planter of Greenville
county. Upon the removal of the
body and an examination of it, it was
discovered that piece of jug handle.
was suspended from the neck of the
dead man by piece of string. AL
though it was quite SINAI. the fragment
of the jug emitted an unmistakable
odor of corn whisky.
Those who saw the occurrence had
no longer any doubts as to the cause
of the mad riders reckless attempt to
cross the railroad track with train
bearing down upon him at the rate of
fifty miles an hour. The conductor
and engineer of the train are old rail
road men and accustomed to unusual
sights, but never within their expert
ence has such an occurrence come I'M
der their observation. ~

TFrom the catson Appeal 2.


When Congressman Daggett first
went to Washington, two years ago,
he was charged $3.50 for extra bag
gage at Omaha. This angcred the
Congressman so that he vowed to
make life burden for every official
on the Union Pacific and Central
Pacific railroads. When he got to
Washington he began to ship tons and
tons of Congressional Records, which
the Union Pacific and Central Pacific
railroads are obliged to carry free of
charge, according to stipulation with
Uncle Sam, made when he granted
them SO much of his broad public
domain. Daggctt shipped boxes of
these documents over the road, ad-
dressed to himself, and accompanied
by his big frank and the words Con-
gressional documents, free" During
the first session he sent seventeen tons
of this class of matter over the ROAD,
and as soon he reached home. he sent
it back again. Daggett's big boxes of
I" Pub. Docs soon became notorious,
and the face and figure of the Con-
gresham were also pretty well known.
Whenever he stopped he was sure to
ask some of the freight agents if they
had seen any of my free freight
lately" He always made himself
known and was sure to add. You
must handle those boxes gently; they
contain the speeches of some of the
greatest men of the nation. If you
damage any of them I'll sue the road
for the full value" On election day :.
ths boys got their revenge, and every
mothers son of them voted and worked
against Daggett. Those who ran on
,he Utah Division located their voting
places in Nevada in time to get their
work in on election day, and they
'aked Daggett fore and aft from sun
Use TO shutdown. When it was known
hat he was defeated nearly every
'reight and baggage man on the line
got drunk, and for couple of days
he road was utterly demoralized.
