Trying Rat Poi son.

The nine-year-old son of Eugene Mottaz,
the East Broadway butcher, directed his at
tention to Rough on Rats Tuesday evening
at his home on Graham avenue, and the re-
suit of his inquisitlve investigation came
near being fatal to the over-curious young
ster. The poison had been placed on some
bread and left in the barn for the numerous
rodents with which the place was infested,
and the boy was informed of the fact by his
mother. With the innate curiosity of the
average young American to ''see what it
would do" the boy proceeded to eat some of
the bread for the purpose Of testing his own
stomach, as he had no rat with which to ex-
pertinent. The result was very favorable for
the poison, but highly uncomfortable for the
boy, and decidedly alarming to his parents
who were soon aware of what had happened.
A physician was summoned and his medical
skill called into service to Offset the effects of
the deadly dose. A night of hard work
saved the boys life, and yesterday morning
found him pale and weak, but nevertheless
on the road TO recovery. 1t was a close call,
but then he now understands how the inno-
cent looking stuff ''gets in its work"

The Hotel VIII BE Built.

II tNoNtt VIII hO htAAhNs
The hotel committee of the board Of trade
held a meeting yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock to take some action in regard to the
proposition Of the Chicago syndicate. The
offer is to erect and fully furnish and equip a
s250,O00 hotel if this city will deed them a
site, and the syndicate agrees to begin work
at once and push it as rapidly as possible to
completion. The committee decided to ac-
cept the offer, and it is thought that enough
money TO secure the location of this grand
structure will be subscribed by the end of
the week. The Chicago parties promise to
come on. at once, and their architect will
probably be on the ground inside of ten days.
The new palace hotel matter is finally settled
and this city is to have one of the finest hotels
in the west. This result is due TO the effec-
tive work of the reorgani2ed board of trade,
and is but one of the many enterprises for
the upbuilding of the city that this energetic
body has under consideration. The outlook
is most encouraging, as several large manu-
featuring concerns are about determined to
locate here. The new business blocks already
In course of erection will furnish the large
storerooms demanded by eastern parties as
branch wholesale houses.
The hotel syndicate does not ask the citi-
zens to subscribe any stock, but simply to
give them a location, and there is much en-
thusiasm over the matter. Nearly $4,000
has already been subscribed and the erection
of the building is fully assured.

The board of supervisors was busy yester-
day settling with the county treasurer. The
attention of the honorable body will to-day
be directed TO the annual large stack OF bills
that are aimee at the county wallet.
The long looked for stars for the police
force arrived yesterday and were donned i'm
mediately. The fire department badges came
with them, and the two branches of the city
service are now fully equipped.
Chief Walters, of the fire department, and
Aldermen Knepher and Waterman were out
in the suburbs last evening, for the purpose
OF locating additional street lamps in locall-
ties beyond the reach of the tower lights.
Mrs. Rothcrt, wife of the superintendent

81, and Edna A. Kempton, 10, both of this
city; and Joseph NJ. II. Uber, SO. and Ellen
Blaine, 80, both of this city.
Chief Lucas arrested j. G. Williams for
trying to- beat his board bill at the Kiel. He
was enjoying the luxuries of that popular
hostelry and was entirely without means or
the prospect of any. The transition from the
inviting mattress at the hotel to an adamant
inc couch in the city Jail was quite sudden,
and its effect seemed very depressing.
An exhibition hose race and base ball game
will take place at the fair grounds Sunday at

hose team in the world, and it wants encour-
agement. The admission will be only rs
cents.
One of the city papers stated yesterday
that j. II. Davidson ran into the arms of an
officer early Sunday morning while in pur-
suit of his runaway horse on Benton street.
Mr.. Davidson called at The BEE Office yes
terday and denied the story, stating that he
was the only j. Il. Davidson in the city, and
not given to such freaks as mentioned. He
was formerly engaged in the dry goods bust
ness here, and is well known to many of our
citizens, who wondered at his indulging in
nocturnal perambulations. 1t is evidently a
case of mistaken identity or a slip of the re-
%porter'S pencil.

An UNPLEASANT Intruder.

Mary Ellen Higginbottom, a slxteen-year-
old girl employed as a domestic in the family
of John Flagcolle, left her work Saturday
morning and went home to her mother, who
resides in this city, and said that some man
had entered her room the previous night and
laid down upon the bed, but when ordered to
leave had Immediately left. She thought the
went TO Colonel Daley to a Mr.. Flageolle
arrested for rape. The county attorney in
vestigated the matter, and became satisfied
that there was no case against the accused.
There are several worknlen in the employ Of
Mr.. Flagcolle, who board at the house, and
the friends of that gentleman regard the
charge against him as ridiculous. 1t was
thought by many that it was q Matchmaking
scheme, but the officials who have investi-
gated the case are of the opinion that the
girls story of someone entering her room IS
correct. The question of identity is probably
where she was mistaken.

Where Has Kessler Gone?

About three weeks ago a ma" by the name
Of Edward Kcssler, living on Sixteenth ave
nue. between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, left his family ostensibly to seek EN-
ployment elsewhere; Mt least that claim is
set up by some as u reason for his going
AWAY. His family, which consists of a wife
and three children, was left without money
Or means Of support. The continued absence
Of the husband and the restitution of the
family attracted the attention of some phil
lnthropic persons who yesterday visited the
wife. Nothing is at present known of the
whereabouts of Kessler, or whether his alb
Bence can be satisfactorily explained. Some
who are acquainted with the family say it is
q case of desertion, but whether this is true
remains to be seen.

A Strange Hailstorm.

On May IS, 1856, there fell a hail on
Caltow mountain, in Pickens county,
wagon loads of which remained where
it fell over two months, says the Ander-
son (Ga. Intelligencer. Many wagon
loads were hauled away from there dur
ing June and July. On the third Sum
day in August | met with a man who
had a large handkerchief tied up full of
stones about the size of an orange.
There were several hundred acres of
original forest on the mountain, which
was stripped entirely of its ~foliage-nota
hamper basketful of any description
being left on the timber; the small tim
Der, including limbs of all sizes, was
stripped of the bark as if it had been
pulled off with an axe AS far al the
mountain could be seen the next day it
had the appearance of the oak in mid
winter. The timber was nearly all
killed.
Crops in the ncighboIhood of the
mountain were literally beaten into the
ground. Fire would not strip the earth
cleaner of dry straw than it was stripped
of vegetation by the hail. Mr.. West
Grant, who lived one mile from the
mountain, had ten acres in wheat which
was in bloom. He told me next day after
the hail that he would give me $50 if |
inches long. [ lived two miles from
the mountain, just in the edge of the
streak, which passed to the south OF our
place, and plenty, of stones fell
in our yard from the size
OF a tea cup to a pint cup
as large as a mans wrist fist from the
wrist joint. The stones broke through
house roofs. where it was s%everest. 1t
was simply fearful. There are plenty
ofliving witnesses who will testify to
the facts stated above if called upon.

Breakers Ahead.

Much Indignation is expressed by the citi-
zens on all sides, regarding the action of the
Milwaukee railroad company in refusing TO
allow the motor line to cross its tracks except
on the most unreasonable terms. TIL cross
ings are now mere, together with the neces-
sary timbers, and the consent of tile Mil
waukee officials is all nat is wanting 10
enable Mr.. Reed TO open his line through TO
Broadway. TIL other companies have agreed
upon satisfactory terms, but this one stub
bornly refuses to allow the work TO proceed.
Some of the more excitable citizens talk
strongly of tearing up the tracks of the rail
road company and putting in crossings,
whether or no, and the expression of appro-
baton with which that sentiment is received,
plainly shows how the public feels about the
matter. 1t is very probable that unless the
company listens 10 reason and allows the
crossings TO be laid there will be trouble, as
the citizens are not disposed TO submit much
longer to the dictaticn OF a company which
is enjoying privileges granted by the city
council.

A Negro.

The negro is changing in appearance
and losing some of the birthmarks pc
culiar to the African race, says the At
lanta Constitution. The new genera
ton is showing the effects of a higher
culture: Especially is this noticeable
in the towns where contact with the
whites shows its effect. The f%at-nosed,
kinky-headed negro is passing away
and becoming an unknown race. All
the colored children, no matter how
dusky in hue, show the change. Among
the females, long hair of that peculiar
woody appearance, hangs in long braids
or curls down their backs. Aauiline
noses with smaller mouths and thinner
lips are the rule. For years, and in
fact ever since their freedom, the ne
crosses have endeavored to do away
with the short, kinky hair bestowed
upon them by their ancestors. Much
of their spare change is invested in
various tonics and invigorators, and the
long attention and care bestowed upon
it is shown in their descendants. The
South Georgia negro is an evidence of
evolution, the survival of the fittest.
