THE PAN-ELECTRIC INQUIRY.
Attorney General Garland Asserts that
His Stock Was Not q Gift.

Continuing his testimony after THE STARS
report closed yesterday Attorney General Gar
land told the telephO ne investigating commit
tee that the statement that his Pan-Electric
stock was gift was untrue. He denied that
there was any improperly in his holding the
stock. 1t was legitimate business and he had
never dreamed OF seeking any legislation. In
explaining how he obtained his stock he said
nve or six persons had come together for the
organization OF a company, and they had
made assessments e the first move being TO give
sesments OF $50 or 500 each. He did not re-
gard the inventions as having any marketable
utility and put them on the market He denied
that he had thought OF using his official posi-
ton to advance the interests of the company,
and said that he could have done better as a
private citizen than as an officer He would
have as soon thought of jumping into the Po-
tomac with milestone about his neck as to
use his official position for the company
MIR. Ranney asked If the Attorney General
regarded his stock as purchase, since he said
Witness replied that it was not precisely a
purchase; it would be difficult to define it in
one word Stiil, taking the assessments into
He was $500 out by the assessments. Witness
said he never understood from the cases he
had read that any thing more than the question
OF infringement mad been decided in each case

The witness answered that he did not want

AN OLD MILK WAGON,

The Migration Of the Geese.
From the Hartford Times, April ID

The wild geese, whose large v-shaped flocks
continue to pass over Connecticut daily and
nightly, heading for the frozen shores of Labra-
dor and Baffin's bay, are adding their lofty tes-
timony to the multiplying proofs of the great
fact that at least the long northern winter is
continental. 1t sweeps from the bayOus an
sounds of the far south to the desolate shores of
the icy arctic seas. These large birds of the
black head, neck, and feet, whose wild gurgling
air, seem to mix and blend with the wind
and the cloud in which they move, are
on their way perhaps from the Everglades
OF Southern Florida; nor will they make
much delay till they reach the far northern
wastes where they breed: It would seem that
their winters are passed in brighter and pleas
anter weather than their summers; but the
north is their true habitat. There they rear
their broods and there they probably best enjoy
life, for there they spend at least seven of the
grim for human kind, albeit there the ice will
melt and there the sun shine for q while all
night Just at present they must find 1t an
inhospitable region. From the northern shores
definitely the rocks are still deep in snow and
ice and the weather is cold. But in the north
great changes are effected rapidly as the sun
mounts higher. Even in Lake Champlain
feet thick, but in that curious lake, as in some
other northern waters, the ice, when it goes
disappears suddenly. It may show at sunset a
lake surface Of miles on miles of solid looking
Iceland the next morning not q bit Of ice is to
be seen! But ice or no ice. IT is all one TO the
wild geese. They are sure OF their own pastures
and still waters-albeit the former may not be
green nor the latter very still; but the grim
rocks In the chill seas along upper Labrador,
Baffin's bay and Smiths sound are the places
that they are after. May it also be that they go
still further and find milder CLINE surround-
ing the earth's northern pole?

Batavia Dispatch to the Commercial Gazette.
After midnight Frank Aller and his bride
expectant, the charming Miss Matte McCarty,
of Pendleton county, KY, reached Felicity,
fleeing from the latters obdurate parents.
A courier was dispatched TO the probate court
here before day, and armed with a marriage
license he returned TO Felicity at seven this
morning, having made a Journey Of forty-two
miles.
BY this time the hard-hearted father of the
blooming young lady had struck Felicity,
loaded down with guns and breathing death
and destruction to the gallant cavalier who had
stolen his daughter
The loving couple were spirited out of that
town In a closed carriage to Chilo, on the river,
where in u few minutes Squire William A.
Ware Joined them. And hardly minute later
the enraged father, swearing like a trooper,
reached the banks of the Ohio. when the magis-
trate pushed the couple into a skiff and fioated
out with the high water, and tied the matri-
moniaf knot In an instant, just the cruel
parent was raising his gun To shoot.
so uire Ware yelled out, "Too late, old man;
the jobs DONE" when the gun fell from the
stern kentuckian's hands, his Jaws rela xed, and
he slid back TO the village saloon, TO cheer his
broken thoughts with big drink OF his native
states bourbon.
The happy couple never stopped until they
reached the kentucky side, and the bride told
the squire 'the old man will soon come to- as
the groom tossed the youthful magistrate a
twenty dollar bill and kissed his girl-wife.
