A Story For Horsemen.

"Say, Mr.. BEE Man, but that's an
elegant piece of horse Hesh," said a
gentleman up on Broadway yesterday.
The reporter looked in the direction
indicated and saw a beautifully moulded
animal, bay, with black points. 16i
hands high, about ten years old and
weighing 1890 pounds. The scribe was
introduced to Mr.. Mulholland, the
owner, who gave these additional points,
in answer to an inquiry: Eyes, this is
Cyclone. He is by Antar, by Almont.
His sire is Mambrino Chief and his dam
Topsy. There are three direct crosses
to old Mambrino Chief. He is as gentle
as a kitten. A womau can drive and
handle him. Jump in and take a ride
Nothing 10th, the reporter accepted the
invitation extended, and was driven
about the city. 'Notice his gait" said
the driver. F'You sec, I haven't a boot
or weight on him, Did you ever see u
square trot?"
81 understand he has a record of less
than $50" suggested the scribe.
"Ycs, | have driven him much faster
than that. Would you like to see a lit
tie of his speed?"
We struck II paved street and the
driver gavo Cyclone the word ''Go!''
and how we did go.
As we stopped in front of the BEE Of
fee Mr.. Mulholland said: "You can say
TO your readers that Cyclone is at the
kiel barn, where he will serve n few
.'rst-class customers during this season.

Another Find of. Coal.

"What do you call that?, asked H.. B.
Williams, the well known Glenwood attor-
ney, as he pulled out of n little bag a dark
looking nugget. 1t was so dark and shiny
that at first glance it appeared to be a piece
of highly polished hard coal, but the first ray
OF light crossing the point of an angle showed
the reddish tinge, which showed that it was
far from being a piece of coal. 1t was a
quartz, with well-formed faces and angles,
and as it was passed from one to another of
the group there was but one sentiment eX-
pressed-'It looks like q ruby"
That is what the jewelers. all say. They
think it is a ruby, but | have not had it closely
tested. They have been trying the file on it,
but a file won't touch it. It's too hard"
The little nugget is certainly Il curiosity,
and IN all probability a very valuable one. If
1t proves to be what it seems it is worth more
than the whole of the farm, in one corner. of
which the find was made. Mr.. Williams has
recently been making some search over land
owned by him in Mills county, his purpose
benhg to discover, If possible, traces of coal
or iron. In thus searching he found this
those familiar with such bits of rock,
and with jewels, and all thus
far express the opinion that it is a valuablc
gem, the worth of which cannot fully be
very fine ruby indeed, and is of wonderful
size. 1t weighs 1917 pennyweights. If it be
what it seems Mr.. Williams can congratulate
himself on having found probably the largest
ruby in the country. He IS preparing to
have it examined by experts, and when
their judgment is passed upon it, he will
determine what disposition he will make of
1t. At present II is not for sale, although he
has several would-be purchasers seeking to
get him TO part with it.
While the find of the suppose ed ruby is of
no importance to Mr.. Williams his discover
les in other respects are of far more import
ance to the public, and possibly to himself.
1t will be remembered that some months ago
there were found traces of coal in the edge
OF Mills county, about eight miles south of
this city. On Mr.. Spetman's land was found
one vein of what appeared to be channel coal,
which burned very freely, and promised to
be OF still better quality and large quantities
when developed. The vein was found
TO be eighteen inches thick Later
it has been worked more, and a depth Of
tWenty-siX inches is now disclosed, with
good prospects for the vein being thicker.
Mr.. Williams has land joining that on which
this find was made, and it was in looking for
coal that he found the seeming ruby. He has
found on his land outcroppings of the sam
kind of coal and there is apparently a large
quantity. He has also found a quantity of
iron, and from the prospecting already done
II appears that there is a stretch of about two
miles which will richly repay working for
both coal and iron. The iron found has been
assayed and is reported as containing IS per
cent.
With these additional proofs of the pres
ence of coal and iron, arrangements will be
made to determine at an early date whether
they are in sufficient quantities to warrant
working.

Their favorite diversion when o in
quest of food is to betake themselves to
the telegraph lines for ~gymnastic exer-
c.ses. and linemen assert that often 100
~able-bodicd monkeys have been seen
swinging on the wire, festooned,
monkey fashion, by looping their tails.
The continuous vibrations of these
forest gvmnasts start the iron nails used
on the cross-arms. and these often come
down, bringing the wire with them.
And 1t is not a safe matter to undertake
to disperse these robust monkeys who
play the dickens with telegraph lines

they have been pursued by n whole

The First Outbreak OF the Strike.

The CO., yards were the scene of a little
demonstration early yesterday afternoon on
the part of some switchmcn friendly to the
strikers. A small party of belligerents as
sembled and evidently made up their minds
to make it warm for the ''scabs'' who were
switching in the yards. The situation was
rather threatening for a time, but no attack
was made with the exception of throwing Il
car link at an engineer who was at his post
on his engine. The missile struck u little too
far back to go through the cab window, but
il left n mark on the window that indicated
its force. The strikers dispersed shortly
after and no arrests were made.
About / o'clock a call was turned in from
box 81, at the KEEL hotel, and the patrol wagon
was sent there with a couple of officers. A
badly scared ''scab' was found who said that
some switchman had struck him Il short time
before near the corner of Main street and
Tenth avenue. The man was found and
placed under arrest. He gave the name of
j. Z. Walker, and said he was a switchman
in the employ of the Wabash. 1t was claimed
that he was the party who threw the car
link in the "Qn yards earlier in the day,
His story is that as he was passing the en-
CINE he called the engineer a id scab,''
and the engineer reached for his hip pocket
as II about to draw n gun and he let the car
link drive at him. Several switchmen as
sembled at the police station and offered to
put up any amount of bond for Walkers APP
pearance and finally effected his release. He
was almost Immediately rearrested on com
plant of General Agent Marshall, of the
"Q.," charged with stoning an engine. He
was taken before Squire Schurz for a hear
ing.

the past nine years, and has a good reputa-

Major Lyman is willing.

There lave been numerous reports as to
the candidacy of Major Lyman for re-nomin-
alton and reelection to congress. One re-
port is that his health has become so broken
that he cannot enter the contest. One of his

wrote him a personal letter of inquiry, and
in response received the following:

written.
AS you doubtless know, / have never been
n candidate for the nomination. l accepted

its best interest. In doing SO 1 sacrificed a

genial to my taste, and in line with my life
work and study. 1have endeavored to faith
fully represent the district, and nave reason
to think have not been wholly unsuccessful.
