SAD FATE-A young woman, who registered as

late on Thursday night, accompanied by man,
aged about 40 Both were fashonably alfred
T. man went up to the apartment occupied by
the girl but did not renaia more than an instant.
Saturday morning she found insensible from
gas which had escaped from the burner in the
room. The physicians summoned discovered that
she was about to become mother and made
every effort to save her. She died Saturday night
about o'clock, and the police are now looking
for the man who accompanied her to the hotel
The girl registered rs from Harper's Ferry. but
dispatch states positively that there is no such
family in that vicinity. She was about IS years
old. very handsome. with dark brown eyes and
hair. She had much expensive jewelrv and her
whole appearance was ladylike and refined. The
general belief appears to be that the stranger who
went to the hotel with the gill must have turned
on the gas before ne left her room.

A PROTECTIVE tariff says the Philadelphia
Record is like leech it has a sucker at
both ends of it. With one end 1t sucks up
toe substance of the people for the benefit OF
the Treasury; with the other it depletes
productive industries in order to sustain un-
productive industries. The money that
goes into the hand Of the Government is de-
rived through legitimate exercise of the
taxing power: but the money that is taken
from one producer TO give to another is a
legalized robbery.

"RecIprocate a Present.
From the Denver Republican.

From the Denver Republican.
Some time ago William +. Cody (Buf-
talo Bill. the famous scout and Snowman,
made Il present to General ID. j. Cook. of
Denver, Of a fine stallion, whose value was
thought to be>over g, 900. General Cook
has had him on his ranch even since, and
has been waiting an opportunity to return
the favor. He found it last week, Buffalo
Bill writing him that he wanted some
burros, or Rocky Mountain Canaries, -
as they are sometimes called, to complete
his frontier show, the Great West" with
which he opens the season in st. Louis
May 4. General Cook and Bert Halo
way searched the whole city and the vicin-
ity until they secured five OF the ugliest.
largest and most vociferous burros around,
for which they paid an average ofS3O each.
One of them is the burro ''Kokomo
jim, who was distinguished for his voice
in kokomo before he was bought by John
A. Witter, of Denver. Mr.. Witter found
the noise he made around the house in
tolerable, and in spite of the protestations
of his little son, for whose use the animal
had been bought, sent him out to his
ranch, where he was secured by General
Cook. Jim has not much advantage
over his companions, however, in an
ability to drive people from the vicinity
where he sings. This collection of burros
was shipped last night to the ranch OF
Buffalo Bill, on the North Platte,
Nebraska.

THE NEW TIME CARD.

The Union Pacific railway officials have
finally agreed upon their new time card
which will go into effect about the LIST of
May. They have adopted the standard
time. which as fixed by the last Legisla-
ture will cause Denver city time to prevail
in Cheyenne. Denver time is about five
and a quarter minutes slower than the city
time of Cheyenne which has lately been
prevailing more or less. With the standard
time as a basis the new schedule will be as
follows:
Train No. ! from the East will arrive
here at $40 p. M.
Train No. . from the West will reach
here at l0:l5 a. m.
Train No. 3 from the East will arrive

The Colorado Gold Fever.

From the Denver Tribune.
The gold excitement at Pisgah, in Park
county, and in the lower portion of the
South Park, is growing rapidly, and all
reports show that large numbers of pros
pectors are rushing for the new Golconda.
The location is, fortunately, easily ~accessi-
bic from various points on the Denver,
South Park K Pacific and Denver & Rio
Grande railroads, it can be reached in Il
very short time from Denver, and it can
be easily investigated without any great
inconvenience or hardship, all of which
conditions are very fortunate, as the
claims will be thoroughly prospected and
tested in Il short time, and their value, if
any, ascertained. Some truly remarkable
tales are told about the district, and the
Tribune is inclined to be decidedly skep-
teal as to the merits of the new discover
les until further developments are made.

ANOTHER II
An %ncendiary Attempt to Start Another
ConflsgratIon.

A few minutes after IL O'Clock on Sun
day night an alarm of fire was sounded
throughout the business portion of the
city and for Il few minutes it seemed as
though Bedlam itself was let loose. Near
ly all who are of that class termed might
hawks were on the street and around
the city and these in addition to those
who came out as soon as the alarm sound
ed at once swelled the multitude to several
hundreds. The fire originated in Il stable
belonging to Mr.. Daniel Fallon, standing
on the alley nearly in the rear of Joe
Roses saloon and was unquestionably the
work of an incendiary. The fire compan-
les were on the ground and water was
playing on the burning building in less
than four minutes from the time the
alarm sounded. The consequence was
that the fire was almost instantly extin-
guished although it had made Roadway
enough to do considerable damage to the
building and its contents. After the
fire was over a box with IL lot
of hay stuffed into it completely saturated
with kerosene oil was found, showing
conclusively that some miscreant set the
fire and undoubtedly purposed to create a
confagration in which he wa thwarted
by the prompt and efficient work of the
fire department. Had the fire once got
under good headway it would have proved
a serious thing for the city. Persons are
not wanting who feel quite confident that
they can point out the individual who
started this fire and should it be fully es-
tablished who the guilty one is it would
undoubtedly go hard with him.
