Senator Fairs Wall.

Senator Fair {who represents
| Nevada in the o. S. Senata) has de
cided to erect q residence in Sar
Francisco to cost s., 100000. Oh
sonrse the residents of this State
who have for years past been put
ting their little earnings into the
building will take an interest in the
details. He has started big wall
to enclose the building, undoubt-
edly fearing raid of the Sand-Lot-
ters. The composition of the Cal
ifornia wal! may be interesting on
account of its high proportions. The
foundation is of hard rubble rock
and Portland cement, topped by
base course of thirty-nine blocks of
course granite, each weighing 1000
pounds. The wall proper is COM
posed of 329 blocks Ct granite,
weighing 800 pounds each, and is
twentv-six feet in hight toward
Powell street, and eight feet at the
corner Of Mason. The ''headers,"
which are placed at the end Of
every two ashlers, or ord'n airy gran
ite blocks are of the unusual length
of six feet on an average. The cop
ing or moulding course, that layer
which surmonts the wall is COM
posed of granite blocks weighing
four tons, being ten feet in length.
A bronzed iron fence will surmourt |
the entire structure. The Sacra-
mento street wall will be twice the |
size of this wall. Nine gateposts,
each weighing nine tons, will serve
to support the fence. A brick wall
20 feet long, enc.oses the back of
The lot.
AS near as the APPEAL can figure
he wall is modelled very uuch af-
er the Sta.e Prison wall in this
,ity, and its appropriateness can
lot be questioned.

A FIGHT AT BRISTOL.

Through the Heart.
At Bristol, twenty-five miles from
Phoebe, on the evening Of January
22I, A. K. Lesher. a blacksmith
met William Thomas, teamster
in a saloon. They had been bick
ering and threatening each other
for about week, quarreling when
they met, and making it appear
necessary for by-standers to inter
fers in order to prevent bloodshed
After . few words Thomas, the
larger man, requested Lesher to go
out into the street and fight a fair
battle without other thin natural
weapons, and thus settle sll their
difficulties. Lesher replied that he
would not fight that way. Thomas
then went out of the saloon, giving
notice that he would be back short
ly ready to fight with pistols.
Lesher remained, and in few min
utes Thomas re entered with a pis-
tol. Lesher rose from a sitting
posture, firing the first shot as he
rose. This shot was without effect.
The men then stood within three
feet OF each other, each with arm
extended and pistol pointed at the
others breast. They fired together
and Thomas reeled and fell to the
floor dead-shot through the heart.
Tie bali from the dead mans pistol
had been forced by a defective car
fridge merely beyond the mnzzle
and had dropped to the floor. where
it was afterwards found: otherwise
both would have shared the same |
fate. Lesher was arrested. exam
med before q Justice Of the Peace

THE CORN CROP.

The Yellow Cereal Scarce aud or n Quail
ity Below the General Average at This
Period OF the Year.
The report of consumption and distribution
Of corn and wheat of the United States, from
returns of the department of agriculture on
the first of March, will show that about 67
per cent. of the corn crop has gone into con-
sumption, leaving 30 per cent still remaining
on hand against 80 per cent. of the crop Of
1882 on the first of March, 1888. This shows
reduction of about 7O.O0O,OOO bushels.
In Michigan, Wisconsin, aud Minnesota the
stock is but O,O00,0O0 bushels against 2i,000,-
900 bushels last March.
In tho belt, including Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois, and Iowa, producing j55ODO,0O0 bushels
the stock Is only 152O0O,O00 bushels, which is
less by near 81, 00O0 900 bushels than the stock
on the first Of March, 1883.
The proportion Of merchantable corn Is 60
per cent, or 036,OOOO,000 bushels. In aver
age years, according to these returns, it is 50
per cent five-sixths of all the unmerchant-
able corn, or more than 500.0O0,0O0 bushels,
is found north Of the Ohio river and west of
Pennsylvania. The average value Of the
merChantable corn is placed ut about 81 cents
per bushel, or SlS0,0O0,0O0. Tho unmerchant-
able makes an average of % cents per bushel,
of the crop is yet in the fields unhar vested.
The wheat of 1888 remaining on hand is re-
turned as 1l0,000000 bushels, or % per cent.
of the crop. On the first of March, 1888, the
quantity on hand aggregated 1l3,000,000
bushels. Tho report will give results of in
vestigation of the comparative quality Of the

The Mexican Treaty.

The senate spent three hours in secret ses-
sion yesterday. Senator Van Wyck's resolu-
ton, offered several weeks ago, providing
that the discussion of the Mexican treaty
should DO continued in open session, was
taken up. and, after some discussion, was lost
upon viva voco vote. \ considerable num-
Der of senators voted in tho affirmative, but
the yeas aud nays were not demanded. Tho
Mexican treaty was then taken up, and dis
cussion, which is described rs being rather dull,
occupied tho remainder of the session. The
chief speakers were Senator Miller in support
aud Senators Morrill,, Sherman, and Jonas in
opposition to tho treaty. No important
points which were not developed in the pre-
vious discussion of the treaty were brought
out.
An amendment, which had the approval of
the committee on foreign relations, was pro.
posed and carried, providing that the treaty
shall not take effect until after the cong ress
of the United States shall have passed laws
to carry it into effect. This amendment is
recognition Of tho doctrine that all laws af-
fectng the revenue shall originate in the
house of representatives. Although no for
NAL understanding with regard to final
vote was secured the opinion is expressed by
senators that the treaty will be taken up
after tho morning business to-day (about l
O'clock and that a vote will DO reached
during the day.

II
The treasury department is informed that
foreign brokers are making heavy purchases
in the United States of the silver trade dollar
at discount of 10 per cent. or more. The
department. is also informed that the purpose
of the foreign spectators is to dispose of tho
coin to emigrants about to sail to this country
as American coin worth their nominal value.
The trade dollar is not legal tender but an
effort is now being made to have the govern.
ment purchase the coins at their face value
and recon them into other pieces. There
are now about 7,O00,OOO of trade dollars in
this country, large majority Of which are
