Ir. Sullivan sent to Grass by Mr. Slade,
Now Said to Be Bitter Foe.
The shriIl blowing of police whistles in
the neighborhood of Pine and Kearny
streets last night about II O'Clock, saws
the San Francisco Chronicle, attracted a
large crowd of persons who happened to
be in the vicinity. 1t was learned that
something more than the ordinary exhibit
ton was going on in "Arry' Maynard's,
as some individual was standing at the
door vigorously blowing for DOlice help.
In a moment Officer McGreevy came run
ming around the corner of Pine street
from Kearny at a rate that would have
opened the eyes of Hart, the
cOlOred pedestrian. AcGreeyy is an old
time sport, and in his day he had but few
EQUALS on the cinder path, but as he
neared 'Arry's he slackened his speed and
made his way through the crowd into the
Sporting Palace. There a sight met his
gaze that astonished him, and for mo-
ment he was unable to comprehend the
situation. A large and powerful man
was lying on his back in the sawdust,
striving to get up, while an equally we'll
proportional man was holding him down
by lying on top of him and piniOning
his arms. A glance at the

that he had seen them before.
Turning to the assembled spectators, who
stood around with arms folded and breath
bated, like Quakers at a meeting, he es-
lied Harry Maynard.
McGreevy asked who the under man
was and AIRY replied: sullivan, you
know ''WhO is the man on tOpY' ''Her-
bert Slade, the Maori" was the reply.
McGreeyy then stopped over and said to
Slade: ''Allow Sullivan to arise" Slade
acted as requested, but Sullivan did not
get up and fondly Rugged the floor, as he
was suffering from an overdose of whisky.
Slade stood to one side and the officer as
sisted the famous John l.. Sullivan to his
feet, but his underpinning was not Sc
cure, and he swayed to and fro like the
branch of a tree in a windstOrm. Al
/ though Sullivan was incapacitated from
walking straight, he was able to use his
/ vocal organs and loudly demanded to be
/ allowed to get at the Maori, whom he
1 STYLED a whitvriiYereu parSon, or some

SUICIDE OF sHAPIRA.
The Owner Of the Bogus Manuscript o
Deuteronomy Kills UfmseIf

The Owner Of the Bogus Manuscript OF
Deuteronomy Kills Himself,
Solomon Shapiro, we'll known in con-
nection with the recent attempt to sell in
England forged manuscript Of the Book
of Pentateuch, says a Rotterdam (Hol-
land) cablegram to the New York Herald,
has committed suicide, having shot him
self in the head with a revolver at a hotel
here. He had not left his room for several
days, and on forcing the door the police
found his bloody corpse lying upon the
bed. Letters were found proving that he
was suffering from mental alteration.
The Berlin world was highly amused at
the controversy raging in London with
respect to the alleged ancient Biblical
manuscripts brought there from Jeru-
salem by Mr.. Shanira Pafnre making
e eii5 IN LSnoo Sba Mic came to
Berlin and offered them for sale to the
Royal Library. In giving the preference
to this institution the worthy dealer in
antiquities at Jerusalem was doubtless
influenced by the fact of its having dis
played such munihcent hberality in the
matter of the Hamilton collection Of
library treasures. A committee unani-
m "a J1s RT e the q1IIegd
was some thought of calling in a chemist
TO look at Jne matter from MS particular
point Of view; but so satisfied were the
general internal evidence against the pre-
sumption of the antiquity of more than
two thousand years claimed for the strips,
that they deemed it unnecessary to call
for1urther proof. But apart from all
proof positive in the way of internal evil
dence, the committee deemed that it was
not at all incumbent upon them to demon
strate a negative, and therefore told the
expectant Mr.. Shapiro that they were dis
inclined to enter into a bargain with him.
They were quite willing, it IS true, to buy
his wares, though only as an example OF
what could really be done in the way of
literary fabrication; but this not meeting
the views of the ingenious traveller from
the far East, that gentleman withdrew
and took his ticket for London.
Mr. Shapiro, who is a baptized jew, is
well known in Berlin, where a daughter
of his has been residing for some time
past. A year or two ago he endeaYOred
to obtain German citizenship, with the
view Of living at Jerusalem under the
protection of the Empire, but the authOri-
ties for some reason or other declined to
entertain his flattering proposal, so that
none of his enterprises in Berlin have
been very successful.

YOUTHFUL SUICIDES.

A Sixteen Year-O Old Boy Destroys His
Life Because of Being Chastised by
His Father.
Information was received yesterday of
very distressing suicide, that of Henry
Brodt, at ScOttsburg, Scott county, Ind,
says the Louisville COurier-JOarHdJ of the
18th inst. The boy, aged 16 years, had on
the night previous quarreled with his
father, and it is alleged he punished him
very severely. The boy retired to bed at
the usual hour, and on yesterday morning
was awakened by his mother in order that
he might, as usual, build fire. He COM
piled with his mothers request, and
seemed to be reluctant about it, and soon
afterward, when she called on him,
he failed to answer. He had pro-
cured a revolver, and, going into the
rear of the premises, placed the muzzle
to his head, and blew his brains out. His
mother, on going to the place where her
son had committed the terrible act, was,
of course, shocked and frightened, and
appreciated the situation as only mother
can. The fact of the suicide vas soon
spread about the town Of Scottsburg,
and created great excitement. being the
second occurrence OF tie klne-in that
neighborhood during the past ten days.
1t will be remembered that son OF Ut.
Blctcher of about the same age committed
suicide last SATURDAY.. and it is SAID his
/ father had also been cruel TO him. These
/ two suicides should aL least serve as q
warning to parents While they tail not U
spare the rod at least not mistake clul
4 for a rod and bear ii Oh so heavily that u
/ g0ads a child to desperation and destruc
/ ton.

STARVATION SALARIES
How to Make Honest Passenger Con-
dnnfnrc
Indianapolis Journal.


/ A railroad man Of large experience in
! operating railroads yesterday remarked
/ that the great mistake of most railroad
managers is that they do not pay their
passenger conductors as much salary as
they should. He then added: Every few
weeks we hear of wholesale discharges of
conductors on some system of railroads,
and the manner the men are dropped
creates a suspicion that they were dis
honest, whether that be the cause or nOt.v
Ihere were on the 744 railroads in the
United States some 1900 conductors, and
MS opinion was that there We're more
honest men in that number than there
would be in 1000 men in any other
service where money is handled,
put passenger conductors were
not paid enough. They were expected TO
dress neatly, stop at respectable hotels
When at termini away from home. Said
he: Take the Big Four. MIR. ingalls, paws
his conductors $50 per month, and half the
time those who have homes in Indianapo-
lis are at Chicago or Cincinnati, and while
there their expenses, on the most eco
nomical scale, reach $50 per month, which
leaves but $50 per month for them to sup
port their families on, which is a hard
thing for them to do. Then, added to
this, they must keep themselves neatly
clad, which would be difficult for
them to do at less than 500
year; so it is seen that the con-
ductOrs are obliged to keep their fami-
lies all the time and themselves part of
the time provided with food and shelter
on what Is left, say $40 per month";" He
then recalled an item which appeared in
the Journal some months ago, compli-
menting j. ID. Barton, now general super
intendent of COrbin's Long Island roads,
on the action he took to make honest con-
ductors. 1t Will be remembered he called
his passenger conductors into his office
one by one, and in his gruff manner said
conductor, you have to steal directly or
Indirectly from the company to keep up
your expenses. We are now paying you
500. We don't propose to dis
charge you now, but will increase your
pay to $l25 per month, and d-n you.
If you steal a nickel hereafter your
head Will 20 off," The conductors ac-
cepted the proposition, and the cash re-
celpts of the company increased fully
one-thlrd, and the men gave better SER
vice. A president a short time since re-
marked that he did not think that ma
JOrlty passenger conductors looked up
on 1t as stealing when they used the COM
pany's money to pay for their own wants
and those of their pet engineers, or when
they treated friends to cigars, vet it was
big leak in the cOmpany's earnings, and
he thought that the better policy would
be to pay conductors $125 or $3.50 per
month, and then if n conductor was dis
honest not only to discharge him but to
prosecute him to the extent of the law.
and there would not then be one dishonest
passenger conductor where there are ten
now.

SUING MIR. FoREPAUGH.
Louise MOntague's Claim to Recover an
AlIeped Prize.


Alleged Prize.
In long deposition filed to-day in the
Office of the Prothonotary Of Common
Pleas, says Philadelphia special Of the
18th inst. to the New York Times, Charles
H. Day, Adam Fogepaugh's agent, con-
firmed the suspicion that the so-called
offer of a prize of $4,000 by Circus Man.
ager Forepaugh to the handsomest woman
in America was an advertising dodge.
Mr.. Days deposition was taken for
use in the coming trial of Louise
Montague's suit to recover the al
legged prize. Louise Montague called
on me at my hotel, :" says the circus agent,
"with a letter of introduction from BObbie
| Newcombe. She SAID that she wished to
talk to me about the ten-thousand-dolla
prize. / said so far as the $4,000 goes
that is an advertising scheme. She an
swered: Il thought 1 could prevail on
Mr.. FOrepaugh to give her a nice salary,
! and told her that she would only have to
/ ride in the procession. She wished to see
/ the pictures of those who had already en-
tered for the prize. Afterward we
met in the presence Of Mr.. Fore
paugh. She wanted $120 week.
| 1 told her l thought her salary
| should be about SO. She was singing at
/ the Grand Central Theatre, and said that
| she thought she could do better than that
/ in her profession. "Oh, call it hundred
dollars" said Mr.. FOrepaugh; ''Pll make
! up the difference in the sale of photo
! graphs"
An engagement, Mr.. Day AYERS, was
| agreed on at that rate. The beauty wanted
what she called a contract to show her
! friends that she had taken the prize.
/ Forepaugh refused to sign any paper to
! that effect, because, as he said, he might
! die, and it might make trouble. He said
that Mr.. Day might give her a letter to
show her friends. Day wrote such a let
! ter. but SAYS he lost it.

2 C0FToN.-There was a good inquiry and
light offerings. Buyers seem to be still very
partial to the hand to mouth business. As far
as appearances go holders have the market
pretty well in their own hands. and evidences
are not wanting 20 show that they are making
the best Of 1t. Shippers bid somewhat higher
than current values, but nearly all claimed
that the prices asked were above their
limits, ana the actual business for the
aay aggregated only ESQ bales. Prices
were very firm and were advanced Lien
S. all round. The official report of the
days business at the Exchange was as follows:
The market opened at 10 a. m firm and un

DIGGING FOR GOLD.
Uncle AFTER Davis Designates the Spot
Upon Which ex-Treasurer Jones'
Father Buried His Gold.
DnbIin lGnl Gnalftl

rather Buried His Gold
Dublin lGa.l Gazette.
Near the road leading from Dublin To
4nOuht vernon, and about ten miles from
Tue iatter place, may be seen, about forty
PAGES from the public road, a large mound
OF fresh earth. Curiosity led us to make
an an investigation of this strange sight.
OuI atlenuon was at first directed to the
spot by Mr.. Duncan ]. McRae who IL a
citizen of Montgomery comfy Er 70 .
hlm we learned the following facts n I
years ago; Mr.. John Jones, who was the
Iatner OF eX-Treasurer Jones of this State
died, and was reputed as having died
possessed Of large amount of buried oold
ana silver. But where it was buried no
one ever knew, and the old gentleman re-
fused to disclose the spot before his death.
As matter of course cOnjectures have
been various and wild,fOr at least half
century. Acres of land, perhaps, have
been dug up, but without success, it
IS supposed. The site of the
dwelling of old Mr.. Jones stands
back about half mile from the place OF
winch we speak. Several months ago
Two or three men, who had an abiding
Ialtn IN the story of the buried
gold, appealed to old man Arter
Davis, who bears the reputation Of being
fortune teller and coniurer. In trnth'
so wide has spread his fame as a cancer
doctor, that people have gone to him from
dlHerent States and left him with only his
magic book and the assurance that slit
would cure" Uncle After, as he is
familiarity called, assured the EAGER
searchers that the gold swas buried near
certain pine tree and by dig
ging they would certainly find if.
About a month after the consultation
with uncle AFTER, two large holes were
found dug near the tree. They were abou t
I ieet IN diameter and deep. Who dug
the holes and whether or not money vas
found still remains a mystery. Some con-
tend that the money was found and the
fact kept concealed, while others. that the
parties who did the digging are ashamed
OF the matter, and for this reason keep
quiet. The strangest thing is that in
digging not the imprint of foot was left.
and the superstitious contend that the ex,
Ireasurer's father returned and carried
off his own gold.
