have every want supplied. When his
latAer died the estate was divided be-
tween him and mis- sister, Mrs. DR.. j. y.
Harding, who had gone to the home other
husband in jefferson county, now part
OF Louisville, Ky, There he met Miss
Annie Sh0twell, the daughter OF Col. A.
l.. Shotwell, man who was rich in a
dozen different ways. His.steam interest
was only second to his landed estate, and
his commission merchants business but
barely outstripping bis mining rights.
The vast coal fields OF Union county, now
owned by Brown & Jones, the Plttsburg
coal kings, were his individually. AT that
time, in 1862, there were only two coal
mines operated on the Ohio river below
Plttsburg, Pa, the one at Cannellton,
Ind, and The Shotwell mines in Union
county. go eXhaustiess is the supply OF
the coal and so superior the quality that
railroad has lust been completed to the
mines from this city. Fabulous fortunes
have been made from the fleets Of coal
sent South from these mines. 1t is seen
by this what Oriental grandeur
was in the reach of Gabe
Tate and Miss Shotwell, with
their fortunes, when united by marriage
at the residence OF Col. ShotweIl. in
Louisville. After marriage. Mr.. and Mrs.
the products of a thousand miners sup
piled their wants. For some years they
lived at the mines, and all went well.
TWO or more children blessed their union.
Mr.. Tate lett his home, and to this day
the public do not know the cause. Sur
misses were plentiful, but no knowledge
OF the cause was ever had. IL was known
that his estate was gone, but that was OF
small Importance, for his wife was rich.

Tate procured a divorce, and shortly
afterward married Sam Churchill, pros
porous planter, who had lived near the
mines, and with whom he vas acquaint-
ed during her married life,at the minea.
In the meantime Andrew Tate, an old
bachelor uncle, had died and left his vast
estate to Gabe Tate and his sister. Hugh
Tate, another bachelor uncle, soon died,
and added his fortune to that of his
brother Andrew for the benefit of his
nephew and niece. Nee long after that
Miss Nancy Tate died, and left her in
creased fortune from her own right and
undivided interests in the estates OF her

Tate and his sister. These changes COW

GERMAN REPEATING RIFLES.
All Nations MAY Adopt Magazine
Weapons for Infantry.
From tia Nego Y0r6 Sun.

LONDON, Oct. 15.-In order to gain
some information about the German re-
heating rifle, which is the subject of so
much comment in army circles at pres
ent. YOUR correspondent visited Col. Ar
buthnot, the chief OF the governments
small arms factory at Enfield, to-day.
The Colonel said he believed self-preseT-
walton would eventually compel all the
great nations to adopt a magazine rife
for their armies. He had recently made
a tour of Germany inquiring into the
merits of the German gun, and mis- Obser-
Yations led MIN TO this belief. The Ger
mans are s8ngulne that their new wea-
pom Will prove to be the most startling
and effective manual implement Of mod
ern warfare, and Will form the basis for
future experimenting In the science Of
close range gunnery.
Col. ArbuIhnOt said he doub ted the
statement that tue German government
had already completed loo, 600 of the rifles.
He thought that was an eXaggeration,
but he knew that they were now making
from 1000 to 5000 per week. The new
rife, the Colonel said, was necessarily
very heavy, and would prove a severe
strain on soldier. In fighting at close
quarters it would probably equal the
Naftini-Henry rifle in effectiveness. He
did rot think the repeater would induce
men to fire recklessly during an engage
ment. bur, on the contrary, 1t was much
more likely 10 inspire confidence. Men
disllked rapid firing any how, as the ex-
cessive use OF the muscles brought into
play produced a iameness in the shoulder.
lie new repeating rifle will not allow ac-
cItrate ain beyond distance OF 800 yards.
THE great point we are striving at here
IN Enfield" SAID Col. Arbuthnot. land
the one which has engaged most of our
time, IS to modify the trajectory so that it
VIII enable aiming without, or almost
without sights. believe our new W eapon
VIII be The best single-shooting rifle pro-
oucaole, but it has not yet reached be-
lond the experimenting stage. Our com
mites OF experts sits daily, and improve
mentS are being constantly made"

A sERIoUs "NosE-BLEED."
How Negro Boy Was Saved from
Bleeding to Death in Detroit.

DETROrr, MICH. Oct. 2i.-Frank Nc
Inn, colored boy l6 years o: age, came
TO Detroit Monday with the ''Pepita"
Opera Company and went 70 work getting
the scenery in shape. At 2 O'Clock he be-
gan bleeding from the nose, and twenty
four hours later blood was still flowing
from that member. There was no rush
of blood; it just dropped, dropped,
dropped monotouously into bowl until
the boy had lost nearly five quarts of
blood aud was scarcely able TO sit up at
the hospital, where he lay on rubber
covered bed with his head abruptly raised
IN order to divert the flow of blood as
much as possible in the other direction.
The patient underwent close eXami-
nation at the hands of the hospital medl-
cal corps, all OF whom, after several
hours work, declared they had never
seen so obstinate case of nasal hemor-
image. Surgical appliances were brought
into use, and the physicians set about
looking for a ruptnred vein or artery.
Neither was found. The patient WAS
continually losing blood, while chastity
and alarming pallor began to show itself
on the boys black face, 1t was striking
ly illustrated that dark skin can grow
lighter, and the skeptical spectators will
never again say that it is a physical i'm
pOsSlDlllty IOr negro 10 turn paIe.
AS the patient grew weaker every min
ute, the doctors saw that something must
be done, and that quickly. At last a
medical student suggested that they eau
terize and then I'LL up Nolan's nose with
cotton. The suggestion was adopted.
The boy was raised higher on the pillows
and his nose was literally plugged up with
absorbent cotton and pulled out like a
prize fighters in the nineteenth round.
He scarcely had strength enough to hold
his teeth and lips apart, and breathed
through his nose with great difficulty.
For time the cotton did not have the de-
sired effect. Blood oozed through it and
trickled down the side of his face. but al
ter several hours he began TO recover,
and, although the lad still lies low, he
will recover,

and In time through the heat OF his body
it Matched out a young reptile. The boy
fell in love with it and carried 1t from
day to day to school with him, and fed 1t
with n part of his own lunch until 1t be-
came too big TO be carried, when ne made
a nest for it at his home. But one day it
suddenly grew to an enormous size and
upon the boys arrival home he was fright
ened 20 death. When the monster saw
what he had done he was sorely afflicted
and refused TO be fed, but immediately
put on mourning by turning his color
from brown into pure black. He crawled
beside the grave Of his departed friend
and lay there for seven days and nights.
At the completion OF the seventh night he
came back TO his late home. but the boys

EFFORTS TO CLASSIFY COTTON.
A Plan Suiting All Parties-Fhe Old
Opponents Dropping lnto Line.

DIpAkStik INV
FROM the Neso York Cona Daercial Etal2etin,
A secret meeting Of some Of the leading
cotton operators was recently held at the
uptown private residence of one of them,
when the new notifications OF the certIf-
cate plan we're talked over, and views
pro AVID con exchanged. Though there is
a dispu~ iuon to keep the exact agreement
(if there was ANY, out of print until the
Board of Managers has had an opportu-
nifty of examining the new propositions.
IL is believed mat the friction between
the TWO factions of the Exchange Will be
reduced to q minimum when he amended
scheme is understood. Most OF those
clauses which produced irrita.
ton among such houses as Iu-
man, Swan e. Co. and those
VINO bank on cotton will be redrafted, and
wherever there is any section which il
again likely to prove stumbling block to
the general adoption of the project il will
be so modified as to leave no sung behind
it after it goes into operation. Inquiry
among those who support the plan only
confirms the impression that in it's fun
damental principles the scheme will un.
dergo no mutilation- The authors mann
tain th at on no account will they permit
this. TIE old opponents. however, insist
upon substantial guarantees. and the;
certificates will no doubt have TO bear
some evidence Of this. One OF the origi-
nal supporters said yesterday: sit is
curious fact, but nevertheless true,
that at the next meeting we shall find
number OF our old enemies on our side.
They have found out that II Is to their
advantage to deal In certificates, and that
IL will not interfere 10 any extent with
| any superior facilities they NAV have In
their dealings on this floor. Our trans
actions on the Exchange are not as small
as some imagine, but they are neverthe-
less small enough, and our prOhte are In
some GASES barely sufficient TO pay run
ming expenses. In dealing with certiH-
Gates, however, we shall be able TO throw
some speculative hfe into our transac.
! tons. The board will not, ! think. an
/ tagonize fair plan, and ny the time the
recon menda lions OF the speciai commit
tee have been duly considered we hope 70
see unAnlmity prevail among all the
