TWO TYPES.
Men of Peculiarities Seen About
Minneapolis.

"There is a typical miser," said a
man-about-town, pointing to an indiv-
idual standing in a doorway on Wash
ington avenue, near Nicollet. '.He
owns the building he stands in. and
owns several others besides. How
could anybody estimate his wealth? He
sold lot for $4,000 cash, another for
1000 cash, and another for which he
got $4,000 cash as part payment. He
keeps no bank account and is known
at none of the banks. If his rent is due
on Monday he is there for it before 9
O'Clock, and If it is due on Sunday he is
there on Saturday night" He was a
very common place looking man and is
assessors books would not show him up
as such. Nobody knows where he
keeps his wealth, and yet he is believed
to have over s150,OO0 in cash.
He owns block on Washington
avenue, and recently disposed of the
adjoining building, receiving large
cash payment that was deposited in no
bank. He loans no money, and his
wants are satisfied with less than $500 a
year. There are two other such men in
the city, and both of them are better
known"
About dark, last evening. a man
walked slowly up First avenue south
and turned north on Washington. His
face was singular picture of intelli-
gence drowned in dissipation. The eyes
avoided a direct glance and the collar of
hif coat was turned up to meet the
bushy whiskers. "That man." said the
man about town. twas once the
brightest lawyer in this city.
He was a Confederate major and
is great Republican. Even
now he can talk in the most entertain
ing style. Whisky, of course. Every
now and then some old friend will get
him a suit of clothes, but just now he
has nothing on but the vest, frOck coat,
he has one, but they have all left him
long ago, and and he lives and sleeps
where he can. have not seen him in
daylight for several years."

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Wrecks train and kills several person.

At or near English, Crawford county.
Ind, the white Caps" were out on one
of their raids. They fist visited the res
idence of Peter Denton, near English,
and took his wife out and tied her to a
tree ard gave her forty lashes over the
back with hickory switches. They then
rode into English, and, going to the res.
idcnce OF Vim. H. Toney, took him out
of bed, tied him to telegraph pole and
gave him one hundred lashes with stout
hickory switches on the bare back. The
residence of A. J. Goodman, In the sub
urbs of English was next visited. They
gave Goodman forty-eight hours in which
to go to work and earn support for his
family or take hundred lashes. The
"White Caps then went to the residence
of James Pro, editor of the local paper,
and left a note for him to publish in the
next issue Of his paper. In this note the
"Whitc Caps say that any man found
using money in the purchase of votes,
treating with liquors to influence voters
or in any manner attempting to cor
rupt the ballot during the pending polit
ical canvass, will be taken from his
home, tied face inward to tree and
given two hundred lashes on the bare
back, and, for an aggravated offense of
this character, three hundred lashes will
be inflicted. The citizens think this to
be about the right thing.

Alligators Rob Bird Nests.

Capt. L. L. Williams, of Telfair
county, on one occasion engaged pas
sage on large timber raft destined for
the Isthmus of I5aricn The raft met
with several cidents and was delayed,
and by the time they reached tho Alta
maha river the rations were CROWN q
scarce. At last it was suggested that
they run the raft to land and stop for 8
day and gather curlcw eggs at u point on
the Altamaha known as The NarroWs,n
or Steamboat Cnt.n At this point tho
curlcw gathers in the winter and lays
its eggs in the spring aud then returna to
Che mountains to spend the summer
The birds assemble in hocks Of 1hany
thousands, and fill the trees with their
nests. The raft hand gather any bush
els of the eggs, which are as psllatable
and as nourishing as those laid by tho
ordinary barn-yartl hen. Ills crew made
safe landing and gathered enough cur
lew eggs for food for a voyage of several
days. and proceeded to Darien in flne
spirits.
Capt. Williams has informed us that
the alligators have found the nesting
place of the curlows, and have DESTROYED
The young birds by the niiillons, and
eggs are now very scarce along the
streams. lie says the alligators have
learned to shake the nests and the young
birds out Of the trees with their moutha.
They have actually gnawcd off all the
bark ON the trees covering many acres Of

THE SULTAN UNAwED.

The last cable advices from Tangier,
received at the State Department at
Washington, in regard to the expected
settlement of the pending difficulty are
not, it is understood, as encouraging as
they were believed to be. The Sultan of
Morocco is not only disposed not to refer
the controverted question of authority to
arbitration, but the evidences are that he
is inclined to assert his authority by sus-
tanning his views in a forcible way.
This, it is said at the State Department,
is most deeply regretted, because our
government has nothing more formidable
with which to assail the sultan than the
missives Of the State Department; and if
diplomatic correspondence should fail to
awe the sultan into accepting the views
Of the State Department it has, It'll said,
no reason to hope for any moral support
from the navy. The correspondence.
however, will continue, with the hope
that Consul General Lewis may subjugate
the sultan by peaceful methods.

A TRAIN WRECKED.

A Burlington & Quincy freight train
was badly wrecked when entering the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
yards at Chicago, ILL.,, aud under circum-
stances which leads to the belief that it
was the work OF the strikers or sympa-
thizers. After the engine and two cars
had passed, some unknown miscreant
threw the switch and the next fifteen
cars were piled up in a hopeless wreck in
ditch. just as the switch was thrown,
man near the rear of the train threw a
tic on the track, wrecking the last three
cars, and at the same time car of
"dope" material Of a highly intiammable
nature, used for oiling wheels, which
was in the center of the train, was on fire
and destroyed. The conductor was found
lying near the tracks nearly insensible.
He had been beaten by three men who
boarded his caboosc. He cannot live.
The crew of the wrecked train was en-
tirely made up of new men.

TWO MORMON LADIES
settle n love n ila ir by u duel.

"A duel took place recently at small
Mormon settlement in Luna valley, near
San Marco, N. NJ, between two lovesicb
Mormon maidens. They had become en-
amored of the same youth, James Whit
man, a cowboy and Gentle. Their
names are Sarah Bolton and Mary Lee
more, aged sixteen and eighteen years.
They were always friends up to the time
OF their love affair. They met short
tlme before the duel in the adobe taber-
nacle in the hamlet and had fight right
then and there. This increased their
hatred, and from that time up to the day
OF the duel both went armed with re-
volver. They finally met by mutual
agreement on the outskirts of the small
village and proceeded to fight a duel.
There were no attendants. They meas
ured off about twelve PAGES, drew their
revolvers, and fired shot after shot.
The firing attracted the attention of some
farmers working near by who rushed to
the scene of the duel. When they ar
rived Miss Bolton was lying on the ground
screaming, with BLOOD flowing from an
ugly wound in the sheP1ler. A few feet
from her lay her reva sr in the dust.
Miss Leemore stood il a statue about
a rod away, looking s.. ntly at her pros
trate rival, with her r6olver still smok-
ing in her hand. M4cn the men ap-
preached to disarm her she fled, and
shricked: Eyes, have killed her, and I
am glad of it!' Miss Bolton was carried
to the nearest house, where her wound
was dressed. She was found to be
seriously, though not fatally, wounded.
