[San Francisco Special, April III
The excitement of yesterday over the
reported attempt of young Jimmy" Fair
to lay his senatorial pa out in the cold en-
brace of death has somewhat subsidized.
To-day Colonel Fair denies that the boy is
In town. and says he has been ct Paso
Robes Springs, 250 miles south of here,
for a week. Mrs. Fair confirms this, but
declines to say anything further about the
difficulties in the Fair family. The scan
dals thus let loose are not new by any
means, and until the sensation
of yesterday were not openly
talked of, bus it is known
that the senator and his family have been
more or less at loggerheads for q couple
of years past. The trouble consists chiefly
in the somewhat open way that slippery
JIM of the millions violates the teachings
of the seventh commandment. While the
senator was running the bonanza mines
and lived in Virginia City, New, these short
comiRgs were to degree concealed, but
since he has come out in the world, and
especially since he went to Washington,
the senator is alleged to have displayed the
cloven foot in all its moral kideousness.
coupled with countless infdelities,
the burly senator is said to be es-
pecially abusive and neglectful of his
wife, who IS most estimable lady, but one
who does not shew a disposition to suffer
in silence. She is portly lady, with fash
ing black eyes, and will of considerable
horse power, and when the senator gets
caught in some new peccadillo she has q
way of sultrifying the air about his head
that leads to sulphurous remarks. On oc-
casions like this the senator himself turns
accuser and charges the good lady with IN
seemliness Of conduct. which all who know
her believe to be fslse. When the senator
gets very wroth and very reckless
of speech he even intimates that
John Mackey has more influence about his
Fairs house than he has himself. On one
occasion, just after the senator had taken
his seat in congress, Mrs. Fair went 10,
Washington unexpectedly, and there found,
1t is alleged, that the senator had set up a
little establishment, which, though small.
might have been the envy of Ismeil Pasha,
ox-kbediye iof Egypt. All it needed was
a half dozen eunuchs and achibouk Or two
TO make it q hareIn complete. This was an
occasion IN which the gossips say the excel
lent lady rose equal to the emergency.
She adidn't say anything to the colonel
just then, but she laid her plans, and in
few days, With the aid of q trusty
friend and several pounds of moral
dynamite, she invaded the saraglio,
and the inmates fed TO New York with
the Aeetness of wild young gazellez of the
plains. The ferceness Of the explosion
broke the colonel all up; bat he fell back
on his ancient privilege of abuse, and
adopted new course, too. He shat down
on madame's base of supplies. The lady
wanted to returned to SenFrancisco and
plaster up her lacerated feelings. The
colonel swore he wouldn't give her a cent,
and he didn't. Then she said he needn't
she would borrow all she wanted from his
friends. She had some money, and with
that she started with her children and ser
wants. Her money took her to
some place in Nevada. There she
tackled the first friend of her husband
she met and got money TO bring her home.
With such relations existing between the
parents, it is not surprising that the son,
James, junior, should be little hard to
manage. Of course, boylike, he stands by
his mother, and he has before shown dis
position TO espouse her cause in q muscu-
lar way. He is wild youngster, and
seems to aim at the distinction of being
known as terror" Some time ago his
father, to separate him from some evil
companions of the female persuasion
DANES Is chip off the old block, sent
him on 2 tour around the world, with one
Joe Marks as 4 tutor and compagnon du
voyage. Now Joe himself, is chap that
forgot to go to bed years ago. He knows
how to line stomach with
chicken i7ers and champagne better
than q bricklayer can line an oven; and as
for the fair sex, he can scent the bouquet
of mile feurs clear across the Alps. The
boys laughed when Joe set sail with young
Fair as chaperone and moral instructor
But little is known here of the tour. The
'Old man." drew checks till even he got
tired, and then called the boy and his
-'tooter" home. Since then young Jim has
kept his excuses pretty we'll out of sight
of the public, but unless a change for the
better comes he will hardly reflect credit
upon MS illustrious sire, or take very good
care of the fortune that awaits him.
The colonel and Mrs. Fair are nov sep
arated. The lady, with her family, resides
III the San Francisco mansion, and the SEN
ator has taken up quarters at the Occiden-
tai hotel.
