Moses wife had Just returned from
meeting with lighted torch in her
hand. Her two children were asleep
in the bed, in one corner of the hum
BILE room. Soon after the woman came
in, and before size had laid down the
torch thunderbolt struck the chin
ney, and knocked Moses and his wife
senseless. When Moses became con
scious both his wife and the he'd were
in flames, but whether from the torch
or from the lightning. he does not
know. Distinguishing the flames as
quickly as possible, he found his wife
still insensible and horribly burned

attend her, found her in a most dan,

The lightning tore her shoes into
tatters, and rent her corset into frag-

burned, but whether entirely by the
fire he could not tell.
The house was much damaged, til
chimney nearly demolished, and every
pane Of glass broken. Yet, strange t.

first volume Of which will now be de-
voted entirely TO Confederate military

table such great wealth Of original

has conceived the idea OF limiting

JAMES G. FAIR.
NeVadA's millionaire Senator.

Senator James G. Fair was born in
Clougher, County Tyrone, Ireland, in
1881. His parents emigrated to
America in 1913, settling in Illinois.
Young Fair was attracted to Califor-
mia in l849, where he engaged in quartz
miBing. His mastery Of the business
procured him the superintendency Of
various properties in different parts Of
the State.
In 1860 Mr. Fair went to Nevada,
where his remarkable talent for engi
neeriug and mining proved the basis
Of his fortunes. He is said to have
no equal as an architect and builder
Of quartz mills and chloriniZing fur
naces. In 1865 be became Superin-
tendent of the 0pAir, and in 1867 Of
the Hale and Noreross. 1t was at
this time that, in conjunction with j.
w. Maekay, j. 9. Flood and w. s.
o. BrieD, he formed the famous Boz
nanza firm. Mr.. Flood was relied up.
on to secure the protection from which
such enormous wealth was to be
drawn. Various mines were acquired
which afterwards constituted the
Virginia Consolidated and California
mines. Millions and millions flowed
into the Golfers Of the company. But
Mr.. Fair continued his minute super,
vision Of the work, going down to the
lowest levels Of the mines. So much
exposure seriously impaired his health
and, in 1879, be was obliged to take Z
sea voyage. He sailed around tht
world, returning to Nevada when the
canvass of 1880 was at its height. H,
was then induced to become the Dem
ocratic candidate for U. S. Senator. Il
is needless to say that he was elected
Being the possessor Of fifty millions
the Senator may be considered to eDjo,
a competency.
But wealth does not relieve th,
Senator from domestic trouble. Hi
wife has just obtained divorce and
four millions.
