Fall Of n Bonanza Millionaire.

From II recent San Francisco special
it appears that the great bonanza firm
of Mackay q Flood no longer exists,
haunted by fear Of the almshOuse.
The dispatch says: The dem0raizt-
ton of the stock market here Is attrib-
uled TO the sale OF Banker Floods
stocks rs much as to tho continued ac.
tivity of the real estate market. John
Mackay and his partner, Flood, have
at last counted their Losses in the cele.
brated wheat deal Of last winter and
have as result ceased to be friends.
For Il month past the once bosom
frieuds Of the bonanza firm have not
exchanged friendly greetings. Flood
finds that his individual losses amount
to $l0,GG0,DA0, and lays the blame OF
the fuckiess speculation on Mackay.
Mackay attributes the mishap to Flood,
| aud the recrimiHati0Hs are said to have
| been bitter enough to permanently
ALLEVIATE the Old friends and partners
Flood has thrown all his stocks on The
market, md Mackay has bought them
at his own price. The bonanza banker
! broken in health and spirils, is almost
| biiud, and Il mere Wfeck Of tho man
| who eight years ago bOasted his bank
held $50, 900 600 worth OF United States
bonds in its vault and $1,000, 900 in gold
coin on its trays. 1t is SAID that he !;
oppressed by the fear that lie will enc

transferred his scat in the Stock Tx

KNOWING THE RULES.
1t is Not Every Congressman who Can
Garry Them in His Hand.

S. s. Cox was elected Speaker pro
tenn, OF the House on account Of the
illness OF Speaker Carlisle, writes n
Washington correspondent. Years
ago when he himself was Speaker he
was thoroughly informed in parlia-
meDtary practice, quick and correct in
his decisions. Though he has been in
Congress almost continuously since
that time it was evident that he has
grown very rusty in regard to the
rules. During the tilihn>terinS against
the circulation of national banks, he
was much confused at times, and on
almost every point was prompted by
the Speakers clerk.
The latter is q tall young kentuck-
ian named Crutchtieid, so thin that
DR.. Tanner would grow black In the
face with envy 10 see him. Crutch-
field was brought here by Speaker
Carlisle. He has made the rules his
own, and knows every member of the
House, new as well us old. 1t Is no
small matter for IA clerk to keep the
Speaker straight in his rulings and be
able TO "locate'' any member who
rises at a glance. or course it is not
abs bsolutely necessary that the Speaker
or the clerk should be able TO name
every member, but 1t Is quite polite
to possess such ability. 1t is sufficient
if the Speaker in recognizing the mem.
her, should say. "Tho gentleman from
Pennsylvania" but If ne should say
promptly, "The gentleman from Pen.
| nsylvania, MIR. Smith, or "Mr,
Browp," Mr.. Smith or Brown would
feel complimented to know that his
name was known to the Speaker.
| Henry Smith, iato journal clerk OF
the House, was eXcellently versed in
the rules, and was supposed to be al
most as indispensable to tho Speaker us
John Smull used to be to the Speakers
Of the House Of Representatives al
Harrisburg, btu, his absence Is hardly
noticeable. Brown, the reading clerk
is thoroughly well up in the rules, and
quick at giving the Speaker desired
information, and he and Crutchfioid
are quite sufficient to keep in order ,ht
greenest parliamentaIi who il Pu,
into the chair. Speaker Carlisle need,
little prompting, almost ~ little a,
Randall, in fact. He is II fine pariia
meutarian, and already knows nearly
every member OF the present House
Randall is never invited TO the chair
He does not want to be. II he were t
attempt TO preside now he would PROT
ably discover himself TO be almost a
rusty as Cox in regard to the rules.
