Col. tlOsby in "a Fight.

The Army and Navy Journal publishes
the following extract. from a San Fran
cisco letter: "Ex-confederate Colonel
Mosby and Lieutenant Graydon, who
was recently in the employ of the Chi
nese torpedo service, had row in a
leading hotel lobby the other night.
1t seems that Graydon accused the clerk
of the hotel of stealing 81 900, and on
trial Mosby swore the lieutenant had
not good reputation in Hong Kong.
GraydOn in return testified that Mostly
was unfriendly towards him because the
former had refused to make an appoint
ment for him. Mosby heard this, and
accompanied by two friends found Gray
don i'm the hotel lobby and after a few
words denounced him in set terms as a
liar. Instantly Graydon Knocked the
doughty ex.guerrilla down. Mosby,
beside himself, rushed OH the lieutenant
and again found himself on the floor.
Then he put his hand to his pistol pocket
but was seized by his friends and hur-
ried to his room. leaving Graydon mas
ter Of the field. The prospects Of q
duel between the two gentlemen are
being discussed about tho town."

A special despatch from London says:
can American, Mrs. Jane Whitcomb,
has met with very heavy losses at the
gaming tables Of Monte Carlo, and has
made three desperate attempts at suicide.
At first she tried morphine, Of which
she took very large dose, but her con-
dition was discovered in time, and she
was restored to consciousness and her
life saved. People were set to keep
guard over her to prevent second at
tempt on her life; but she evaded her
watchers and opened vein in her arm,
with the purpose of bleeding to death.
Again she was detected before a fata
result was attained, and was restored.
Finding it useless to try to prevent re-
peating her efforts, the proprietor OF
the hotel in which she lived, for the
reputation of the house requested her to
leave the hotel. She did so, and went
at once to Cannes. She had scarcely ar
rived there when she threw herself into
the sea. She again failed, however, to
accomplish her aim, and was rescued
from drowning. She has since been
placed in an asylum, as the only relia-
BILE means of keeping her from another,
and perhaps successful, sensational at
tempt at suicide. Mrs Whitcomb's hus-
band was formerly auditor general Of
Minnesota"

a dispatch from Baltimore says that
the contest over the will of Gustavus
Nicholson, the banker, has brought to
light some of the old gentleman's queer
characteristics. The will bequeathed
the entire estate, valued at Sl63 900, to
Isaac l.. Nicholson, and the nieces and
nephews who are not on the list are
making the contest. Nicholson had a
hobby for making wills, and made over
a dozen in the course of few years.
1t was stated by servants of the old ban
ker that he lived i'm a little back room
of his fine residence OH Harrison street.
His love for cats was the most peculiar
of all his eccentricities. He kept a
regular asylum for cats. He had over
a dozen of his own tabbies, and these
were permitted to invite their friends,
so that hosts of cats were entertained at
the bankers home. He took cats 20 bed
with him, and sometimes matronly cat
would provide a nest in his comfortable
feather bed, and there a litter of kittens
would he born and raised. At one time
lie had six Maltese cats living with him
in his room. These were his favOrites.
The ordinary cats were kept in the
kitchen. All the cats would run 10 him
and purr when he entered the house,
and he would sit or lie with them play
ing all over him.
The counsel for the contestants, in
his presentation Of the case, stated that
the death of Columbus Nicholson, 4
brother of Gustavus, aud the fact that
there had been for some time Difficult
ty between them, seemed to weigh up
on the mind of Gustavus, and though a
genial gentleman he became addicted to
drink, and lived in the little room of the
big house alone with his cats. Counsel
for the executors claim that, while he
was little eccentric, in all business
matters he showed clear and excellent
judgment.

st. Cloud and Sank Rapids, Mimi,
were swept by terribly destructive
cyclone about $50 O'Clock Wednesday
afternoon. kilograms from st. Cloud
and Sank Rapids say that both places
had been visited by destructive
cyclone, and asking for medical aid.
Aid was at once dispatched. Ii is be-
lieved that at least forty persons have
been killed and about seventy-five
wounded. Scores Of houses were en-
tirely wrecked. Private advices say
the storm struck the railroad between
the round-house and freight depot and
swept path 600 yards wide through the
city, leveling between l5n and 200
houses. NJ. III. Clark, a weli-known
lumber man, who lives i'm ST. Cloud.
says 80 persons were killed in that
city and more than 100 injured, many
very seriously. Superintendent Wake
man, of the Manitoba Road, SAYS be-
tween 30 and 40 persons were killed at
Sank Rapids, n few miles southeast of
ST. Cloud, and nearly double that

An Elopement and a Tragedy

The little town of st. Mary's, w. Va,
is in q turmoil over the shooting Of
Luke Leaker by Samuel Russell. The
cause of the tragedy was the elopement
last week Of Leaker, who is about So
years of age, with Carrie, the eleven
year.old daughter Of Mr.. Russell.
They met by appointment, and disap-
peared so quietly that there was DO clue
left the father, who contemplated an
immediate pursuit, and he was COM
PEELED to await developments. Sunday
Leaker returned to town alone. He was
warned to keep out Of Russell's way,
bnt he paid no attention to the friendly
advice. At about 8 O'Clock Russell met
him, and at once drew his revolver, and
fired four shots, one of which passed
through Leaker's breast. Russell was
at once got out of the way by friends,
and all efforts of the Sheriff to Ind him
are unavailing. The whereabouts of
the girl Is unknown.
