CInncy's Experience.


A handsome young mechanic, with
jet black and curly hair and piercing
eyes, entered the courtroom this
morning when the name of Joseph
Clancy was called, to answer a charge
Of assault and battery. The officer
stated that when passing through 0
low neighborhood in Center alley,
early yesterday morning, a woman
known as Swede Bette came running
out Of a dive with an ugly cut in her
head, from which the blood flowed
profusely. She informed the officer
that a man, who could be found in a
room upstairs, had struck her, and.
going up the steps with him, pointed
out Clancy, who was in the act Of
putting on his shoes. Clancy's state.
ment was rather startling. He said be
had been decoyed upstairs by the two
women, who afterward hid his cloth,
ing, and obliged him to remain with
them. He finally grew desperate, and
pitched into them with the first
weapon at hand. Swede Bette, who
is a regular visitor to the calaboose
and has been the cause of one or more
murders, was given a weak in which
to take her departure from the city
and a fine Of ten dollars was imposed
upon Clancy for drinking TOO freely.

WHAT A HEAVY SEA DID.
Two Passengers on a Steamship Made
Insane Through Fright.
Portland 0regoniar

In crossing the San Francisco bar
Thursday the steamship Oregon ship
ped heavy sea and two passengers in
the Storage became insane through
the fright occasioned by the oocurren-
ce. One of them, Mrs. Bridget O'Rourke
was on the way to Oregon to join
her husband, Jas. O'Rourke, who, she
says is painter living in this city.
When the steamer arrived she was
quite violent, but when taken in Gus
tody by the police became more ra-
tional, and was sent TO st. Vincent
Hospital with her three children, all of
whom are too small to understand the
calamity which has befallen their
mother. During the day, at the hos
pitsl, her mania, again became strong,
and 1t was feared that she might do
some damage to herself. The police
were again notified as to ner condi-
ton, and in the evening she was
again brought back to the station and
placed in the woman's cell.
Since her arrival there she has never
ceased to stand by the door, crying
and talking to herself. At times she
speaks louder aud her delusion is that
her husband is just outside of the door,
and will not listen to her entreaties to
set her free. The police have made in
quiries as to the whereabouts of her
husband, but as yet have been unable
to find him. Her children remain at
the Hospital, where they will be taken
care OF for the present, The other pass
enger who lost his reason, was Z.
Temple, man of middle age. who
came from Nebraska, with his wife and
three children, the eldest girl of
thirteen years. His mania is harmless,

4 Cat in An Ink Barrel.

"Billy Irwin" proprietor of the
"Hole-in-the- wall, !" possesses remark
able cat of the tabby gender, which last
night visited our press room. Ad over
bold rat displayed himself, and ,abby
marked him for her own. After a
chase that lasted five minutes. and ex-
cited old Dallas, the pressnian, and his
assistants to the highest degree the rat
ran.into an ink barrel. Tabby followed
in reckless haste, but found more of
the substance preservative than she
had bargalned for, and emerged in an
interesting condition. She was trans.
formed. Her grey coat was black IA
pitch, and she was sputtering ink at
every breath. Dallas got dose that
will prevent his family from recogniz-
ing him for several days, bat before he
could resent the "plas,ering" she had
gone up to Joe Wetter's. AT one
bound she lit upon Belize Hamilton's
bare head and made his gray locks a
gorgeous black; then without mo-
ments warning she caromed against
Jim Dowlngs lavender trousers and
painted them Il fashionable leopard
color. Not content with this, sae gave
the colored waiter deeper dye, and
finding her reception not quite so cor
dial as customary, sought her friend,
Billy Rice, who stands the night watch
for Irwin. She paralyzed his polka-dot
shirt and disappeared in ,he cellar,

Casks OF Steel.

An English firm has recently turned
their attention to the manufacture Of
casks anC barrels of steel. The two
edges of the sheet of steel which form
the cask are brazea together in such a
manner as to justify the title OF seam
less, which the pateutees nave supplied
to these productions The head of tho
barrel is rivited 70 the body so as to
leave no eeam, and the rims are
sh,unk on hot, thus making very solid
end, while, at the same time the rims
are thick enough to give good pur-
chase to the graphing hooks of HOSTS
and cranes for loading and unloading
purposes The bush for the tap does
not project beyond the rim 80 that the
nozzle is not liable TO be knocked out
and injured. The casks are more dur
able than wood, less bulky, and it Is

The Richest Man in Maine.
Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Every morning, Sundays excepted
at 81 few minutes before 8 o'clock, a
pair o. black horses and two-seated
phaeton halt at the door of the First
National Bank in Skowhegan. The
team is commonplace in respect to
horses, carriage and driver. The
horses are good, strong, clean-limbed
beasts, but their trappings and groom
ing evinces disregard of appearances.
The carriage is free from gloss and
style. The old gentleman who alights
and enters the bank is the richest man
in Maine, ex Governor Abner Coburn.
His wealth is estimated at ak to seven
millions of dollars, but can only be
Appropriated. He and his brother
Philander owned at one time timber
lands worth 81 600, 600 in Michigan and
Minnesota. The brother is now dead.
Besides his large possessions in Maine
the Ex-Governor is said TO own extern
sive timber lands in the region Of Puget
Sound. There are no heirs to his
property but hieces. He was never
married. His only living brother.
Alonzo, is very feeble in health, and
the ex Governor will probably survive
him. There is no one to perpetuatc
the Coburn name. OF eight brothers
not one has left male heir. Tie last
of them stephens SOM was drowned
with bis father few months ago. Ex-
Governor Coburn is 80 years old, and
is for more reasons than one re-
markable man. In appearance he
is venerable, but exceedingly
well preserved. The frosts Of
eighty winters have given his head and
face whiteness that at first sight start
les one, and invariably er kes feeling
Of extreme respect in ap. " tching him.
Time has laid a kindly hand upon
him. His memory was never better.
His sentences are quick, clean cut and
business like. His own efforts and as.
tuteness have accumulated his i'm
M ense fortune. He was farmers boy.
He was born in Skowbegan, about
three miles out Of the village. He
lived on a farm till 1910, when he en-
tered into the numbering business, from
the profits of which, mainly, have
come bis present possessions He be-
