MISS FOLSOM'S MISTAKE.
n. o. Daily st ates.)

N. o. Daily States.)
A romantic story is going the round
of the press about Miss Mary Folsom,
OF Buffalo, New York, to the effect
that she has often been heard to say
that she would either become the wife
of a newspaper man or President of
the United States. 1t appears however
that owing to the rather poor assort-
meat of newspaper men in Buffalo,
she has been compelled to fall back on
her second choice, and in consequence
is, according to general, report, soon to
marry Grover Cleveland. Grover,
aside from his bulk beauty, Is said to
possess very winning ways and will
doubtless make fair sort of husband,
but we are inclined to think that Miss
Folsom has made mistake. She
should have waited until an opportu,
nifty was presented, and linked hel
fate with an editor who could max,
her life a flower garden, with mar

THE KILLING OF jim FIELDS.


The killing Of Jim Fislds, q yellow

will not be amiss TO give a sketch Of
Fields history, Jim Fields formerly
lived in Monroe. Five or six years
ago he had difficulty with Mr.. Full
lum, of Monroe, one OF the policemen.
1t seeps the calored people had cotton
up an excursion to Crew Lake and
the managers requested that ? police
man should 60 along lp keep the peace,
as Jim Fields had made threats. The
policeman went along. After arriving
at the lake Fields commenced Z ain.
Guilty the policeman attempted to ar.
rest him. He--Fields--resisted, draw
ing pistol. The shooting commenced.
Fields wife held on to Fulum and
prevented his shots from taking effect
while Fields was permitted to shoot
Mr.. Fulum three or four times, and
one colored men was killed by stray
shot. Fields was brought there, the
difficulty having occurred in this par.
ish. Mr.. FtAfain did not appear
against him and for want Of proper
evidence he was discharged.
Since then he has been in Rayville
most Of the time, having resided a
while in Ruston. He was an indus
trious colored man, a fair carpenter
and with the exception Of his over
bearing disposition, when drunk, was
not bad man. So far as stealing and
pilfering is concerned, he was clear
of that as most white men, He would,
however, obtain liquor or money to
buy 1t with, that he could not make
good, the result of which always kept
him in trouble.
On Sunday the 9th he became drunk

Possible Composition of the Democratic
Ticket in 18SS-The Presidents Views.
Washington Special to New York World.
1t is understood in Indiana that Senator Voor-
haes has an ambition to be nominated for the
vice presidency with President Cleveland, and
with this object in view he exercised extraordi-
nary influence in having the administration
properly Endorsed at the late convention there
though civil service was not recognized. SEN
ator Voorhees, has always been strongly in favor
of the repeal of the civil-service law, but that
harmony might prevail nothing was said upon
the subject. Mr.. Voorhees, has never squarreled
with the President, though he no doubt has felt
like it when his constituents were clamoring for
office aud Mr.. Cleveland would not turn the ras-
calls out
Friends of the Indiana Senator assert that he
is the proper person to take the place of Mr.
Hendricks in his State, and as that State will
be in ar excellent position TO furnish the man
for the second place on the ticket, as it has so
often done in the past the Senator is not with
out hope that such may be brought about. There
is perhaps no Western Senator who stands closer
to the President than Mr. Voorhees,. 1t is said
that Mr.. Cleveland, on more than one occasion,
has intimated that he would be glad to have it SO
arranged that the Tall Sycamore of the Wabash
could in the event of a denomination himself, be
associated with him in 1888. As the Senator has
practically controlled the patronage of the State.

A STARTLING PICTURE.
How Deputy Land Commissioners Stoclxslager
Looks in Bathing Suit.

Looks in a Bathing Suit
Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
A gentleman from Colonial Beach, a down-the-
Potomac watering place. reports that he recently
saw Deputy Land Commissioner Stockslager
that if the sight could have been witnessed by
trict where he has aspirations, he couldn't have
polled vote while there was a woman with an
eye 10 beauty in the entire State. Mr.. S.
wore the usual bathing costume. cut very de-
collete in the leGs and arms; so that his parian
marble limbs cleaned and glintedin the sun Like
Venus rising from the His head, however
was the chef d'Guvre. Everybody who has
seen Mr.. S. knows of the fine Italian
sunset which fingers in has hair and casts
frightening shadows in rubescent tintS upon his
beard just touching his cheeks and nose on its
progress thther. He had all this in bathing with
him, and surrounding it was straw nat like
Neopoitan girls wear in pictures, and this he
had tied down over his ears with strip of cotton
rag evidently torn from some garment not nee
essary TO me ntion in public. The hat extended
well over his face, forming triangle invertea,
with the crown for the base and the sharp poiut
of his whiskers for the apex, and as he stood
there in his blue suit, his white limbs and his
exhibition of the national colors in living relief
ever presented to an enthusiastic company of
Potomac river splashers. At the time
there was lacking that artistic and winning
beauty which makes Mr.. S. such dangerous
rival to ans political opponent when he has on
his store clothes and his eagle skun for bust
ness. and that is why the gentleman thought
Mr.. S. shouldnt wear bathing suit when he
went out to Indiana on his canvass.

A Disagreeable Epilogue.

CHICAGO Aug lit seems probable that the
Haymarket tragedy will have a very disagree
able epilogue in the civil courts The phys-
clans at the County Hospital are making deter
mined efforts to secure payment for their serv-
ices in attending upon the wounded police
officers. The salaries of the physicians were in
tended, they assert, to compensate only for
attendance upon paupers. The claims aggre-
gate between So 900 and $4,000. It is now pro-
posed to make an attack on an aimoex Forgotten
fund known as the policemen's f4SEsurance
fund, which was created in 1863 According to
the ordinance by which the fund was created,
all rewards. fees, proceeds of arrests and emolu.
rnents, and all sums realized from the sale of
unclaimed goods are to revert to It.
The president of the then existing board
OF police and the city comptroller were made
trustees of the fund. The ordinance further
provides that whenever an officer becomes bod
lily disabled in the actual performance Of his
duty, the necessary expenses for medical at
tendance may become charge upon the fund
For nearly twenty years the fund has received
no accessiobs. There is at present about
So, 900 in the fund. Upon this the doctors are
anxious to realize, but the city comptroller to-
day refused to pay the amounts asked. and the
chief of police will not certify the bills. The
law department will be appealed to for opin-
ion.
Among the bills which were handed in to the
County Board to-day growing out of the An

for So 500, for professional services He worked
seventy days, at $50 per day. On the margin
