One of the brothers caught the can

slipped something down his back,
which he thought was a piece of red
hot iron at the time but was only a
chunk of ice. 1t found its way in an
instant into the innerward recesses of

flung the bandage from his eyes to the

A difficulty occurred yesterday be.
tween Big Fat Farrell and young
man named Wellner, and the latter
was arrested. There were such a cloud
of witnesses when the case was called
to-day, that His Honor inquired if it
was a murder case. The whole mat
ter, as detailed by witnesses, was as
follows Wellner went into Farrell's
and ordered plate of oysters, which
he was eating when he heard the old
man and the waiter having a little
CONTEMPLATION. He asked the waiter
if that was the old gentleman's usual
manner, or was he angry. The waiter
replied that it was only his way, and
Wellner left. In an hour or so Far
rell, who was sitting in front Of his
place Of business, saw Wellner pass
ing and wanted to know why he was
SO much interested in finding out
what his disposition was, WelIner
did not care about talking,and Farrell
called him an impairment rascal and
said he would knock him down. Well
ner said hS wasan old fool and crank,
and few minutes afterward was in
the clutches of the law. After hear
ing all the evidence and asking if Mr..
Farrell was obstructiDg the sidewalk,
His Honor summed up the case as fol.
lows, speaking the words slowly,
through his nose, and looking mighty
solemn. He said. II see how it is.
Now if it had been somebody that be.
longs around here, they would never
have asked the waiter snch question,
you know. They all know. But you
see, here's young man comes over
from Arkansaw, and he goes into my
friend Fsrrell's to get some of his big
fat oysters, and he sees the old man a
sawin' the air and calling his waiter
pet names, and, being Of an inquiring
turn OF mind, he wants to know if the
old man is mad. He don't know it is
his natural manner. Now Mr.. Farrell
sees him whispering to his waiter, and
he finds cut what he said and don't
like it. Being an amiable old man, he
don't like people to think him angry,
and he feels hurt, you know; and then
he hears..that the poung man is from
Arkansaw, too, and he grows more
and more suspicious. Now it is har-
rowing to one Of Mr.. Farrell's amiable
disposition to be-"
The old gentleman had been nod
ding and smiling as bland as could be
all the way through, but he suddenly
smelt a mouse, and a decided blush
spread over his mobile features. He
wanted to know if the Court was going
to make a burlesque Of him, or if he
was going to due the fellow. His
Honor fned Wellner a dollar and re-
mitted it, and the agony was over.

The Office safe Of the burned steamer
Golden City was found, yesterdays
afternoon, by Diver Graham. 1t ',sv
among the rubbish and debris on the
deck OF the wreck, in eighteen feet Of
water, and two or three hou,,s were
occupied in extricating it. A.fter that
lines were made fast, and it was raised
to the surface Of the river. Near
sunset, by means Of the windlass ON
board OF the tug, it was hauled safely,
on to the deck of that vessel.
Upon opening the safe, the conteau,
were found to be in excellent
order. 1t was thought that
four weeks of water soaking
would do damage to money and other
yaluables, but it proved otherwise.
By nine o'clock last night the paper
money was dried sufficiently to enable
it to be carried in ones pocket.
The money and contents was count
ed, and cared for by reliable witnesses
for the protection of those having
packages therein. The total amount
Of money within the safe ranged be-

III the Surgeon Generals Office.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-One of the last
acts in the Guiteau case was enacted here
So-oav. 1t Is known that on account of the
porous condition of the assassins bones
they were subjected to hardening pro-
cess, during which they were pressed in
a barrel containing alcohol and other in
gradients and kept therein for a consider
able period in order to allow time for
chemical action. The fnality of this ac-
ton occurred several weeks age, and the
bones were removed preparatory to wiring
them. Since that time the barrel contain
ing its odorifferous compound of medicin
ais and shreds OF Guiteau's flesh has stood
unpretentiously in one corner of the
Army Medical museum labratory, which
Is located i'll the cellar of
that building. The floor just over the
laboratory is occupied as branch of the
surgeon generals Office. in which nearly
one hundred clerks are employed. This
morning the assistant in charge of the
laboratory, desiring to use the barrel for
another purpose, called to his assistance
several laborers, and after knocking the
head out of the receptacle, proceeded to
dump its offensive contents into a sewer
opening. This action caused most hor-
rible stencil to pervade the entire building,
and genuine panic to take place among
the clerks, many of whom became sick and
wef~Torced to go into the outer air. The
odor prevailed for some time. and
those of the employees who remained
in the building we're compelled
to wear handkerchiefs over their noses and
adopt otherpreyelsiveim ime aus. Lime and
other disinfectants ..sswere freely used, but
to no avail, as the unpleasant smell hung
about the building like pail. "Guiteau's
bones are looking exceedingly fne," said
an employe of the museum to your CORE
spondent this afternoon, "and we will fini sh
the work of articulating them in few
days. 1t being a national job, we are
spending more than the usual allotment

NEW YORK.
Especial Telegram to the Globe I


New YORK, Nov. 2S.-A report that the
president of the Omaha road declined to
| sign an order to restore rates was industri-
| ously circulated on Wall street this morn
ing, and caused quite furry in the gran
gers, Rock Island, and Chicago, Burlington
d Quincy. Prices opened about 2 per
cent. lower than they closed. The rally
which followed was as sharp as the decline.
Pullman was about the only stock that
opened up. The company is reaping a
harvest while low fares rule. At noon the
tone was steadier, and Denver was decid-
edly strong, selling above As. Omaha
touched 4656, and the preferred S1.O4A.
Burlington advanced 3 per cent, as did
New York Central and Rock Island. Jer
sey Central was the card among
the coalers, and sold above
So. Erie preferred declared 6 per cent
dividend for the year. The advance during
the afternoon carried prices above yester-
days closing in most instances, and the
day closed in a decidedly strong and active
market.
The roads most affected by the Western
war were particularly susceptible to the
frequent changes in the feeling in the stock
market to-day. st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Manitoba, Minneapolis and st. Louis, the
Omahas and Union Pacific leading in the
morning break; st. Paul, Northwestern,
Denver and Wabash in the frat rally, and
Northwestern, Denver and Omaha in the
afternoon advance. st. Paul sold down to
$1.OO early, ~ cents below the open
ing quotation, but ended the
day at $1.04. Northwestern opened
at $1.34 and closed at S1.364, having
ranged between $1.33 and $1.37M. Rock
Island kept its highest point reached,
$1.2S1l. to the end, five cents better than
where it began the day. Omaha fuctuated
between 44A and 47ss, opening at As and
closing at 46A. Northern Pacific was low
est at the beginning of the day, 4S, and
highest at the end, 445s. st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Manitoba at one time sold down
to S1.391as, but recovered ana closed where
it began the day at $1.41. Minneapolis &
st. Louis was lowest at the beginning of
the day. 26A, and was highest at the end,
being then quoted at 28A.
A feature that added largely to the small
boom is the refusal of six tanks to accept
