a train containing a large force Of
A Serious Exchange of Satchels.

Some little time since r. A. Riddle, a
married man, arrived IN Denver with a
view OF looking up some profitable
mining investments. In order to be
ready to take advantage of any fortunate
chance, Mr.. Riddle brought with him
fifty thousand dollars in government
bonds, and one or two other thousand
dollars in the way of pocket money. Mr..
Riddle was gentleman of social habits,
fond of making new acquaintance, and
not Indifferent to seeing everything
there was to be seen in Denver, and he
forgot all about mining and other bust
ness, and devoted himself to having a
good time. One evening, however, the
main object of his visit pressed upon his
mind, and he paid his hotel bill, put his
fifty thousand dollars of government
bonds in a gripsack, and was rapidly
conveyed by carriage to the Union depot
a short time before the Leadville train
was to pull out.
1t so happened that Mr.. Joseph Chee-
ney, a travelling representative of several
Kansas City and st. Louis business
firms, had made arrangements to 90 to
Leadville by the same train, and he
reached the Union depot about the same
time as Mr.. Riddle, and with a gripsack
that looked the twin brother of that be-.
longing to the latter gentleman. In some
strange way the gripsacks were changed,
and Mr.. Riddle was on his way to Lead
vile before he discovered the mistake.
The only thing about the gripsack to in
dlcate that it had an owner was the card

Cheney went to bed that night he

down stairs, telegraphed to the frantic
Riddle in Denver, and everything was
made right. .-Den0er (COL.) NeaoS.

COSTLY MEMPHIS BLAZE.
TWO STEAMBOATS, BURNED TO
THE WATERS EDGE.
Narrow Escape of a Third-One In
sured PartiaIIy-The Other a Total
Loss

MEMPHIS, TENN, July 31.-A fire at Z
O'Clock this evening, having its origin In the
lamp locker of the steamer Idlewild, de-
stroyed that steamer, together with the
Osceola Belle. Both boats were lying at
the wharf preparatory to departing to-mor
row afternoon. The Osceola Belle was
above the Idlewild, but the flames spread
with such rapidltY that she ignited before
the tugs could remove her to a place
of safety. When burning aft she foated
down the stream and was drifting against
the steamer James Lee, but a tug hauled
the latter out into the river. The escape of
the Lee was very narrow, as her swinging
stages were on fire and her bow slightly
scorched. The Idlewild was eleven years
old, and owned by John D. Adams, of Little
Rock, and Capt. J. H. Reese, of Pitts
burg. She was valued at $25 900. She
was insured for $4,000 in Cincinnati
and Evansville offices. She arrived here
on Thursday last, having just been repaired
at Paducah, Kentucky, at a cost of about
$4,000. She was to depart tomorrow after
noon for Arkansas City, being the regular
Memphis and Arkansas City packet The
Osceola Belle was owned by Capt. Jas.
Lee, of this city. She was built at Jeffer-
sOnville, Indiana, in December, 1875, ex-
pressly for the Memphis and Osceola trade,
and was valued at $50 900. She was not in
sured.

Movements of French Troops I'm

ORAN, July 30.-The combined move
ment of the three columns Of French
troops, which will start from Saida, Sebdon
and Geryville, will be directed towards
Macheria, where an entrenched camp will
be established, which will serve as a base
of operations for a great expeditionary
column, which will march during the au-
tumn through Algeria as far as Ftguig,
Morocco.
PARIS, July 31.-An official dispatch from
Admiral Conrad reports that battalion of
infantry and a detachment of artillery are
expected from Sfax to replace the marines,
who, 1t was announced on the 28th instant,
bad occupied the capital of the island OF
Djerba. The island is to the southwark of
Sfax, and considerably nearer the Tripoli-
tan frontier. Admiral Conrad thinks the
appearance of the squadron before Searzish
will be necessary In order to form a correct
opinion of the state Of affairs on this part
of the seaboard, the inhabitants of which
seem very hostile. This will bring the
French still nearer TripoH.
