The NacaraeuAn Canal.

Washington, 3. = One object of
ex-President Grants visit to Wash
ington, at the present time, is said
to be the advocacy of the Mica
rauga Canal bill. General Grant is
one Of the incorporators of the Mic
aragua Company. If the bill grant
ing charter and guaranteeing the
bonds of this company is passed,
General Grant would, in all proba-
bllity, be invited to become its pres
ident. Friends of the canal project
are growing very anxious and fear
the prospect of passing the bill this
season is waning. 1t is said that
the influence of all the Pacific
Railroads, except the Northern
Pacific, is being exerted to defeat
the bill, and in addition to these
obstacles Lesseps is reported to
have retained several influential
persons to oppose the NICARAGUA
scheme. 1t is arranged to call up
the canal bill in the House one
week from next Monday, and try to
get "a vote upon it under a motion to
suspend the rules. Some idea of the
strength of the measure can then
be formed.

Ten Thousand Bars.

There are 10000 licensed bars in |
this city, and probably not ten of |
the owners would give more direct
replies than those l have quoted.
If William II. Vanderbilt were
asked: do you own the largest
bar in America?" would he tell the
quick and direct truth? at least
$4,000 of his income every year is
from that source. The business has
changed greatly within ten years.
The old-fashioned bar, screened off
from the rear end Of grocery, is a
thing of the past. The saloon of
the present is almost invariably a
separate concern. Esthetic deco
ration has caught the eye of the
saloon-keeper, and the wooden,
blinds in the windows have in
numerous instances beeu re-
placed by fine curtains, in front
of which are often seen excellent
pieces of chinaware and statuary.
There was a time when three or
four barrooms in the city were I'M
rivaled in the beauty of their fit
tings, but the number within two
or three years has increased to at
least a hundred. Even the gorge
Gus concern opened last year by Ned
Stokes, the slayer Of Jim Fisk, has
already been surpassed. The brew
ers own thousands Of beer saloons,
either by direct proprietorship or by
mortgage covering the entire worth
OF the fixtures and lease.
| In Second street beer sign hangs
| from a barber-pole, and an inscrip-
ton says: "a shave and glass OF
| beer for 10 cents" The combine
ton does not seem ever-pros-
porous. Two men do all the
work. A keg of beer Is Oh
tap in corner. The customer is at
liberty to take his drink before
being shaved Or afterward, OF
| he may sip it during the intervals OF
the operation.
"The biz amt what it used to be,

ger hotels.
But the place is crowded, and
Everybody is drinking" l Sug
gested.
"Ah, yes; but"
For a finish of the sentence he

Of the bar. There sat the proprietor
, as cashier, and the statesmen han
died none of the money. The same
system is used in nearly all the bis

An Earnest, Representative.

Washington, 3.-There was funny

into the srens, demanding the speaker 6
attention. When he had done this be

Suspended in Mid Air.

Early yesterday morning thrill
ling accident occurre9 on the sum-
nit of Walden's Ridge, to man
named Kendrick, a peddler from
Sequachee Valley, who was pro-
ceeding to the city on the Ander-
son road. At the southern brow of
the Ridge the road makes a steep
descent along the side of bluff,
fully 100 feet in height, and
abruptly bends, making almost a
complete circle. The road is ex-
ceedinqly steep at this point, and
very dangerous. A corduroy gang
way was built as means of safety,
but Notwithstanding this precaution
that spot is feared by ali travellers,
and whenever possible they avoid
it.
Just as Kendrick started down
the road the lock-chaiR of his wa
gon broke and the vehicle was
forced upon the team. The right
hand horse, the one nearest the
edge of the bluff, was thrown for
ward, and liz plunging stepped too
near the edge and rolled over. 1t
then being suspended in mjd-air,
the road being fully 100 feet below,
its harness prevented it from fail
ing, and as soon IS possible ropes
were procured and 1t was released
from its periiOus position, the only
damage TO tue animal be ne few
scratches. Kendrick was in his
wagon when the accident occurred
and was we'll nigh beside himself
with terror. His escape from a
horrible death was indeed proyi-
dentiai.-Chattanooga Times.

While on hunting excursion in the great
coal and wood region near Carbondale, Pa
the writer met William Coil, lumbsrman.
Accustomed to life and labor in the forest
from early manhood. he was true Knight Of
the Axe. Many a tree had fallen before his
ringing stroke, and fleets Of RATS had borne
away to market the sawed products. Coil is
a character, and if Oscar Wilde is right in
saying that sll movements in unhindered
labor are graceful, our FRIEND William stripped

story himself, as,he told 1T to me:
Il Twas out in the Woods, you know, trying
to start log down hill Thinking I could
get a better purchase OF it from the lower
hook and threw myself upon the lever. She
started, she did, bat as luck would have it,
before could get out OF the way, she rolled
right over me. If it hadn't been for lot OF
small limbs and brush lying in the road,
which lifted her up, she'd crushed rae fiat.
As il was got up without broken bone, but
with some mighty bad bruises

FIVE SUICIDES.
Convicted Murderers In Custer
County Who Have Cheated
the Gallows by Self-De-
structiOn.

1t is a somewhat singular circum.
stance that every conviction that has
vet been made of murder in Custer
county has been followed by the sui
eide of the convicted man. In May,
1879, at the first session of the dis
trict court ever held in Miles City,
four Indians were found guilty OF
murder. Two were confined in the
same cell. The night after the trial
one of the doomed men managed, in
some way, to hang himself in the
cell bv means of his waist strap.
which he fastened to the iron graf
ing over the door. When he was
dead his surviving companion low
cred his corpse, and, laying it on
the bunk, Ito which they were
both fastened with chains), he
adjusted the same strap to his
own neck and hung himself in
the same deliberate manner. In the
morning the two bodies were discov-
cred by the sherif's officers-one ly-
ing on the boards and the other sus-
pended at the entrance to the cell.
The double suicide created great ex-
element in the community at the
time, principally on account Of the
cool determination which marked its
execution, and which has seldom
been paralleled in the annals of self
murder. The other two afterwards
strangled themselves to death with
shoe strings. Since that time there
has been no conviction for murder in
Miles City until that of Leahy, and
already the same sudden tragic finale
that followed the previous conviction
is anuounced.-MHes Citg Press.
