Thursday last young German named
Henry Worth came TO the La Clede
Hotel. near the new depot, and there
made the acquaintance Of another young
man. The two went out to see the town
and Worth was taken to the house Of a
certain woman near by. He aud she
we're left alone, and she observed he
wore heavy belt under his clothing
and asked why he wore 1t. He told her
he had a good deal Of coin, which he
carried in that way. Here tho matter
stopped for the time being, but before he
left the house she told him some friends
Of hers had discovered q pot OF gold
buried by the Spaniards many years
ago, and that they were going
10 dig It up last night. She
invited Worth to be OF the party and
share the treasure trove. Unsuspecting
he complied. and last night at about 8
O'Clock the woman, Worth and the mu-
tuai friend, set out up the College street
hill to find the pot. When they got
well out from the houses 10 secluded
SPOT a mutual friend" anesked mp and
struck Worth stunning blow, telling
him 10 the ground. Then some one Of
the party took his watch. Before they
could Qet TO the belt which he still wore
and which held round $500 In gold,
Worth so far recovered as TO get
up and making vigorous resistapce pat
the robbers to flight. The women then
came down and sent police officer up
that way, telling him some one was try
ing to rob friend Of hers. Worth
came TO the police station and told his
story, but whether any arrests were
made or not cannot be stated, aa the
facts were withheld from the HERALp
reporter at the station for some reason
or other. A friend who by chance
learned the facts as given took the
trouble TO give them to one OF the staif.
The plot was ''siick" enough, and only
failed for lack Of "sand.

Bosros. February 26.-At 9 o'clock
this morning huge telegraph pole at
,ba coruer Of Market and Alabama
streets was broken short off by the
hiph winds. Other poles in the neigh
borbood were broken or torn down in
quick succession, and several streets
we're soon blockaded with poles
and an inextricable string Of wires.
Many hosses were entangled and panic
was narrowly avoided. The streets were
at once roped off and large gangs Of men
were set at work to clear the wreck for
the time being. Freight delivered at the
Albany depot had to be dragged by hand
around the block. No injury to life or
limb has SO far been reported, but there
we're many narrow escapes. A furious
blizzard prevailed during the night in
this vicinity and for a long distance
down the east. At Portland twenty
inches of snow has fallen and it
Is still showing. Business Is at a
stand still. The Grand Trunk Railway is
blocked at Bethel and the road between
there and South Pass is in bad condition.
AtSt. John. N. B., the snow is the heav-
lest Of the season and the wind is blow
ing sixty miles an hour. At Westfield
the steeple Of the First Congregational
Church was turned completely over and
thrust through the roof Of the building
INTO the audience room.

Prospects Of n Conflict with the

SAN Francisco. February 26.-The
Eraminer's Washington special says;
"It Is stated that claims were submitted
by agents TO the Chinese Embassy for
the losses sustained by the Chinese in
the recent riots at Seattle. Washington
Territory. The losses were reported to
the State Department and heard in the
Cabinet meeting yesterday. The indem-
nifty asked is from $500, 900 to 800, 900.
A special message by the State Depart
ment to Congress is necessary, asking
an appropriation covering the amount.
The present state Of feeling prevalent in
Congress will make 1t refuse these de.
mands, and the consequence will be that
China will resent this action aud with
draw her representative from Washing
ton. There Is q strong feeling In China
against foreigners, and American citi-
gems will suffer. A speck OF war with
China Is visible.

At times many of the symptoms Of Ca
tarrh may seem TO abate, and the patient is
led to hope that the disease is about to wear
of, but another class of symptoms soon ap-
pears, and he learns TO his horror that in
stead OF recovery from the disease, IL is
somewhat changed In its character, and has
extended to the throat. sense OF weari-
ness is sometimes felt In reading, speaking
or singing, hoarseness at times occurs, a
sensation Of dryness Is felt in the throat, or
1t appears that some foreign substance, as
for Instance hair, obstructed the throat
there becomes a sense OF languor and fa-
tigue. breath lessons upon q little exertion /,
q short hacking cough, a peculiar sound In
there was not room enough In the chest to
breathe: these and other symptoms occur
after the disease has made considerable pro
gress. Then II Is a time when consumption
Is about to begin Its dreadful work. Up to
this time the progress OF the disease may
have been slow, and the patient may, in ex-
pressing his conndent hope that II will
wear OFF" declare that he has had the ca
tarrh for years. and has not seemed to be.
come much worse, and trusts that he will
.by-and-by" recover but this delusion is
the grand error which has peopled our Gem
eterIes with consumptive forms.
The people do not require to be told the
symptoms of consumption, for there is
scarcely family whose circle has not been
invaded by the destroyer-scarcely home
where some loved one has not felt its blight,
and either passed away from earth or Is
wasting day and seeming the hopeless
victim OF this terrible disease.
The symptoms OF the first stage OF con-
sumption are various. The following are
prominent and whenever any of them ex-
list a thorough examination should always
be m ade, with view to arresting the dis
ease, IL shown to exist: There is usually a
sense of WEAKNESS upon little exercise. a
disposition to remain passive and idle, de-
spondency-oftenti from no apparent
cause, peculiar sensitiveness to the effect
of cold, and breathlessness upon moving
quickly or ascending hill or stairs, aslight
hacking cough. with or without expectora-
tion, excitability upon slight occasion, fly
ing pains through the chest or back, or un-
der the shoulder blades The symptoms are
more noticeable toward or duringt the night
slight fever In the afternoon; cold feet and
hands, or In many cases blue ltvidity OF
the lips and roots OF the finger nails.
We positively affirm that three-fourths of
the vast number who die of Consumption
might be saved, did they awaken to the true
sense of danger when the disease first ap-
peared In the head and throat, and the best
writer's, the ablest physicsans of the age,
have expressed similar opinious-
Although our climate Is the best In the
world. still our friends should not depend
upon climatic influences alone, for herein
lies the fatal mistake. Nearly every case
requires positive medication, as well as
proper climatic influences, so as 70 become
rid OF the offending maiter-the consoli-
dated portions of the lunCs-thereby giving
nature an opportunity 10 neal them.

said that the horse had unquestionably
cost Mr.. e. Martin over $4,000, and
that it was like parting with an old
friend to see him go away. He then
wrote the following pedigree, which un-
deubtedly is correct, because Mr.. M.
has known the animal ever since he was
colt, and well knew the owners of his
dam and sire:
SAN FRANCISCO, February is, 1886.
The horse Gen. Crook was sired by Cham
