A Legal Joke.

Here is one of the good stories pur-
veyed by Arlo Bates for the Providence
Journal: CAT one time Charles
Thompson had for client q man who
was accused of selling liquor unlaw-
fully. The prisoner was OF an appear
ance perhaps best described as alcohol
ic, and his nose might have served as
9 beacon on Eddystone Ledge on the
darkest night. The testimony was
taken and the case went on until
M. Thompson rose to make his plea.
Y-y-your Honor he began, 1-l-look
at the i-i-jury. G-gentlemen of the j.
jury, l-look at his Honor. Y-your
Honor, l-l-look at the p-p-prisoner.
P-p-prisoner, Hook at his Honor.
G-g-gentlemen Of the Jury, Hook at
the p-prisoner. D-d-does he look as if
he'd s-s-s-sell a p-p-pint of liquor to
anybody The argument was lrresist-
IDLE. The nose of the accused out
weighed all other testimony and Mr..
Thompson triumphantly won his
case"

Durhin Ward st Chickamauga.
from the Toledo Blade


Speaking of Gen. Durbin Ward"
said G. A. R. official, ''reminds me of
story that Gen. Steedman used to
tell about Ward and the battle of
Chickamauga. The night after the
battle Steedman was riding past O.
cabin by the roadside. A woman at
the fence said to him: There is q dead
Union officer in my house, Speedman
dismounted and went into see the
dead man. He found him lying in q
corner, covered with blanket, where
the surgeon had abandoned him. He
pulled the covering off, stopped down,
and, by eight of q candle. recognized
his old friend, Col. Durbin Ward. He
was cold and apparently lifeless.
Steedman felt his pulse, and found g.
slight futtering. Calling for his or
derby, who carried canteen of whisky,
he raised the dying man &nd putting
the canteen in his mouth poured lib
eral quantity of the reviving fluid
down his throat. The reaction came,
the surgeons were sent for, and Durbin
Ward was saved. He never got done
thanking Steedman, and he never
could listen with patience to q temper
ance orator decrying spirits thereafter.
81 am a living example," he used to
say, "of the saving power of even COM

Twenty-Five Dropped by the Lake Shore

CLEVELAND, o., June 26.-By special
orders sent out from the company's
headquarters some days ago, twenty
two passenger conductors on the Lake
Shore d Michigan Southern Railroad
and it's branches between Buffalo and
Chicago were dropped. Among them
are many of the oldest men on
the road. The cause is still kept q
secret at headquarters, but is supposed
to De the result OF "spotting." The
division superintendent claim to be
wholly ignorant of the reason, and the
men themselves claim innocence oil
having violated any rule or regulation
OF the road. It is not known for a Ger.
tainty yet whether the deposition
OF these twenty-five men is q
permanent discharge or simply q
temporary suspension. The division
superintendent simply received orders
from headquarters to take such and
such men out of the service, but
whether this withdrawal is for good OF
simply temporary arrangement
neither the division superintendent
nor the men themselves have been &C
far advised.

FATAL FIRE.
Roston Loses a Dozen Men and Quar-

Boston Loses Dozen Men and q Quar-
ter of q Million In Property.
The New England institutefair build
ing, on Huntington Avenue, Boston,
recently purchased by the Metropoll-
tan Horse Railway Company, valued
at S25O,OOO, was entirely destroyed
by fire on the 21st. Alarge number OF
men employed N the building escaped,
but at least twelve are thought
to be lost. Four of the bodies re-
moved were SO badly charred and dis
figured that identification is impossl-
BILE. The names of the others are be-
lieved to be ais follows: VIM. Taylor,
aged 70 years; Oliver Frost, aged 81
years, married; Patrick Lyons, aged
80 years; Alexander Campbell, aged 20
years, married. The body of the negro
known to have been burned has. not
been recovered. This makes nine
fatalities known to have been caused
by the fire. Theforeman of therepair
shop states that all of the eighty eight
workmen in the building when the fire
broke out are accounted for, with the
exception of the four named, and the
other four unfortunates were probably
strangers who entered the building
to aid in removing the cars. The fol-
lowing persons were seriously burned:
Joseph Whidden, car builder, serious
~ burned about the face and shout
ders and taken to the hospital; Chester
L. Hazeltine, badly burned about the
hands, arms and throat; T. l.. Farren,
burned about the hands and arms.
The last two were employed in the car
shop. Several others. had their hair
singed. The total loss is estimated at
$500, 900, divided as nearly as can be
ascertained as follows: Building, fix
lures, etc., $18O,OOO; cars, $4,000;
machinery, tools, etc., $50, 900. The
insurance aggregates $4,000, as fol-
lows: Building, $4,000; machinery,
S25, 900; cars, 100000.

Remedy for Poison Ivy.

DIR. S. A. Brown, United States
Navy, states in the Medical Record
that he has found q specific to the
troublesome eruption produced by the
poison oak or poison ivy so common
in our woods and along old fences.
This specific he finds in bromine, which
he has used with unvarying success in
ct least forty cases. He uses the drug
dissolved in olive oil, cosmoline or
glycerine, III the strength of from ten
to twenty drops of bromine to the
ounce of oil and rubs the mixture gent
ly on the affected parts three or four
times day. The bromine is so vola-
tile that the solution should be re-
newed every twenty-four hours. The
eruption never extends after the first
thorough application, and it promptly
disappears within twenty-four hours
if the application is persisted in.

RUMORS OF WAR.
Military Organizations in South Dakota
Preparing to Establish q State Gcg-
eminent at the Point of the Bsyonet
An Important Item of News, If True,
and a Well concocted Story, If Not.

A long letter, published in the Sioux
Falls Argus, on the Oath, has created
great sensation. The Argus vouches
for the reliability of It's correspondent,
who is a prominent citizen. An ao-
stract is as follows: 81 have just re-
turned from Yankton, and was aston
ished while there by the revelations
confdentially made me by an intimate
friend, q resident of that city. The
statehood conspirators are in dead
earnest. They have q military as we'll
BIS a political organization, extending
into every county, city and village
and the southern part ofthe territory.
Ex-United States Attorney Campbell
and his followers are securing the
country organizing and they mean
mischief. Their plan is briefly this: AS
soon as the people of South Dakota are
sufficiently excited the machinery OF
state government will be put into OPP
GRAFTON and the territorial govern
ment will be set at defiance. Camp
bell and his conspirators are prepared
for the result. The statehood army
has thousands already enrolled. My
sense of public duty at the risk of g.
breach of confidence, compels me to
say this much. Gen. Hugh j. Camp
bell is commander-in-chief Of the state
hood forces which at present consist
of two army corps, the eastern and
the central. Congressman-elect L. j.
Kanouse being commander of the first
and Gov..elect A. G. Meletta of the
second, each holding the rank OF
major-general. Huron is recog-
nized as the seat of government
and military headquarters, but
Yankton, Woonsocket and Water
town are the basis of military supplies.
The amount of guns and ammunition
already stored at these points is
enough to convince one of the de-
termined and desperate character oil
this movement. How soon the con.
fict will come it is impossible to say
1t is now an open secret that the OBJ
ject of the recent extended tour Of
Gov. Pierce and party was to feel the
pulse and particularly to ascertain
the strength of the Dakota Nationa
Guards. The Free Guards are drilling
in this city every night, and the
meeting last night, which was sup
posed to be for the purpose o.
forming rife team, was really tC
organize itself into regiment o.

Gar AIexander'S Death.
From the New York Grapbie. 7

From the New York Graphic1
There was something of an indecent
haste in the marriage that united the
car to the Princess Dolgorouski
after the death of the Empress
Marie. The ukase promulgating the
union was dated only six weeks after
the death of the long suffering czarina.
1t was at this time that that the
emperor bestowed upon her the hered-
itary title of Jouriewsky, by which she
is now known. 1t is one of those be-
longing to the Romanof family, and
therefore was one that he desired to
have descend to his children. Presae-
ing his sudden and tragic fate, he drew
up with his own hand q deed settling
large fortune on the children of the
princess, the titles and securities com,
prising this fortune being deposited in
foreign lands. Nor was this all. He
bestowed upon the princess the grand
Gordon of the order of St. Catherine,
which is only accorded to the members
oftheimperial family. Recommended
that she should take precedence over
his daughter and his daughters-in-law,
not even making an exceptionin favor
of the wife of the czarowitz. He made
no secret of his intention of causing
her to be recognized as empress and
solemnly crowned as his imperial con-
sort. But his sudden death prevented
this last named project from being
carried into execution.
Not quite two years after his mar
riage 1.-THE 18th of March, 1881, the
princess was awaiting the return OF
her husband from the review over
which he was to preside that day. She
was in driving costume, and they were
to go out together as soon as the re-
view was at an end. The sudden en-
trance of the emperor's valet, and his
exclamation, "Your highness, the
emperor is very I'LL" first startled her
from her peaceful and happy expect.
ancy of his return. Even then she
was not alarmed. Alexander was sub
iect to attacks of the asthma, and she
imagined that he had been seized by a
severer one than usual. 1t was not
till, on hurrying to the bedchamber,
she beheld his pale countenance, on
which death was visibly stamped, that
she realized what had occurred. Her
first impulse was to throw aside the
covering which concealed the crushed
limbs OF the sufferer, in order to ascer-
tain for herself the extent of his injury,
but the emperor restrained her. mo
no! Catherine" he murmured, "you
must not see my wounds-the sight
would be too terrible" Then after
moments pause, he added: edo
you remember the prediction that said
that I should die in red boots? 1t has
been fulfilled" A few moments later
he died, his last glance being fixed upon
the fair face bent above him.

PICKED UP ATS a.
Terrible Experience of the Mate of q Ship
wrecked British Vessel.

wrecked British Vessel.
The American ship Frank Pendle-
ton, Capt. Nichols, from San Fran
cisco, February Is, has arrived at
Queenstown. She has on board the
mate of the British bark Arklow, Capt.
Pye, from Manila for Montreal. The
Arklow was in collision on May s
with an unknown vessel, and was cut
to the waters edge. The captain, his
wife and child and ten seamen took
to the lifeboat. The mate put
off alone in small open boat.
1t is feared that the occu-
pants of the life-boat were lost. The
mate had a most terrible experience.
He was for eight days without food,
water or clothing, the clothing he hav-
ing provided himself with having been
lost by the capsizing of his boat. He
chung to the keel for twenty. six hours
and then succeeded in righting the
craft. He hung up his shirt for a sail,
and caught lew fying-fsh, which he
ate. He proceeded slowly for six days,
looking in vain for q sail, and then be-
came unconscious. While in this con-
dition his boat was sighted by the
Frank Pendieton and he was rescued.
The rescue took place on May 16.

The Food the Fathers Ate.
From the Boston POST


The people of the last generation,
DR.. Hodges says, "knew nothing OF
luxury; they had the regular and
solid meals at noontime, which are
said to be the foundation of the sta
bility of character, and they enjoyed
at least nine hours of sleep every
day. How happy, indeed, are the
men and women who are able to look
back upon such g. state OF life, and
how unhappy by contrast are those
who remember q different state Of
things as the practice of the older gen.
erations, and suffer in their own lives
it's effects! To these unfortunates the
cables of their fathers and mothers
appear in their recollection burdened
with unwholesome and scarcely norr-
ishing dishes. The chief dish there Is
one OF sailed pork, whose contents
have been shriveled in the greasy fry
ing pan into indigestible scraps
There are potatoes, most frequently
fried In the same grease as the pork
or else boiled; their starchy substance
is expected to be the chief feature o.
the meal. There is hot bread, made
of poor quality of wheat flour
which has been carefully deprived.ir
the milling of it's most nutritious
properties. There is butter, which II
generally good. There are fried apples
not nourishing. There is tea, which
has boiled long and long, it's steweC

For Contempt of Court In the Sc. Louis
Gambling Cases.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June 23.-Mayor
Maurice Joyce, of East st. Louis, was
subpmnaed as witness in the gam
bling cases for last Monday at Belleville
but failed to appear, and the Court is
sued an attachment for him. The
mayor was present in court, yester-
day, and explained that his non-at-
tendance was becauseh he had frequent
ly appeared as witness in the case,
which had been continued, aud he
did not suppose that he would
be wanted on Monday, and
did not know anything about it..
State Attorney Holden told the court
that the mayor could tell great deal
if he was so inclined, and insisted upon
his being held for contempt of court.
At the time of the raid upon the gam
blers, Mayor Joyce expressed himself
as heartily in favor of the raid, and
had previously called upon Sheriff
Ropiouet and asked his assistance to
rid the city of the gambling dens,
claiming that he was powerless to en-
force the law. Judge Snyder fined him
So for contempt of court, which the
mayor at once paid.

JACK COnnOTss w no Escaped IrOBu W8u-

JOLIET, H., June 25.-Jack Connors,
alias Riley, burglar, known in Chica-
go and Milwaukee, was sent to the
Waupun prison from the last named
city in 1881 on ten years sentence.
On July 4, 1888, Connors, who is con-
sidered one of the hardest criminals
ever in the Wisconsin prison, effected
his escape from that institution in
daring manner. The warden
offered a large reward for the
recapture of Connors, but the
cunning convict left the state, and no
trace of his whereabouts could be
learned until yesterday, when for
mer employe of the Waupun prison
