was Vulture Hopkins, the Messrs. Jardin,
of Cambridge, the Rev. Mr. Jonas of Blew

ican misers as a rule, live obscurely, and
after their death are soon forgotten.
Meanness is nearly always a part of the
miser's life, but in many cases it was abso-
lutely criminal Mr.. st. Pierre, a miser at
Port-au- Prince, San Domingo, inherited
the estate of bis brother, whose two daugh-
ters, being illegitimate, were left penniless.
They were young, beautiful and accom-
plished, but instead of supporting them st.
Pierre sent them to Charleston, intending
to sell them as slaves. Happily he was
foiled in his purpose. ELVES, who was
porhapG the most honorable of misers,

laine, when she was young, even sold her

who wished to marry her for her money
and then jilting them. Theft, too, has
always been characteristic of the gold
gardener. One of the most remarkable of
thieving misers was a clergyman named
Trueman at Daventry, in Northampton
share England. He had livings worth e400
a year and died worth ESQ., 200. But he
would steal turnips from the fields Of the
farmers in his parishes and then beg a
little bacon to be boiled with them. If the
good wife turned her back and left the ba-
con with him he would steal an extra slice,
and the next day at another farm house he
would beg potatoes or greens to go with the
extra bacon If he slept at the house of one
of his parishioners he would steal worsted
from the corners of the blankets to darn his
stockings with. Once in his life he fell in
love with farmers maid. Dolly, of course,
wanted ribbons, and SO he stole them for
her from his brother, who was a haber-
dasher at Daventry. 1t is not easy to I'M
derstand why even avarice and parsimony
should lead such man to the commission
of such petty crimes.

The association win unite all the sports
men in the state, and by giving them pur-
pose in common, make their just demands
so imperative that the legislature cannot
honestly or honorably oppose them.
The association has among its officers
some of the ablest and most distinguished
gentlemen in the state, so that there is moth
ing worth mentioning to prevent it from
accomplishing its purpose except the crimi-
nal apathy of the people or that fatal type
of incidence which throws all the labor and
responsibility on one or two persons and
stands stupidity by to criticise their efforts.
The association needs laborers now, not
carping critics. so it is hoped that every
honorable gentleman in the state will join
it and make it a success second to none on
the continent. It's object being public good,
and there being no expense connected with
it at present, it ought to have larger men,
bership within two months than any similar

RICHMOND, March 13.-Gov. Lee aston
ished the public to-day by allowing negro
couple to be married in his office in the
capitol and then presenting the groom with
a pardon, which saved him from spending
his wedding day in the penitentiary
This is the first wedding ceremony
ever performed i'll the Virginia capi-
tol and it is singular circumstance
that the couple should have been black.
The contracting parties were Robert Bos-
sieux and Mary Brown. The groom-elect
had deceived Mary under promise of mar
riage, and had been sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for this deception. The introduce
tory overtures were by the governor.
Addressing the negro, he said:
Il sent for you because understood you
wanted to marry Mary and she wants to
marry you. Do you want to marry her?'
Bossieux-Yes, sir.
The Governor-Mr. Yarbrough says that
you have been a good hand, and he will
give you employment again, and hope
you will be good man hereafter.
The governor, turning to the parson, said !:
GAN right, go ahead" The parson then
married the couple. At the conclusion of

Each County in Connections Gets
$1,000 of it for Law Library.
From the Nelo York Sun.
NORWICH, March 13-Each Of the eight
county treasurers of Connecticut has just
received draft for $1,000 from the ad-
ministrator of the estate of Squire Aaron
White, who died at Thompson in 1886, and
who bequeathed 81, 900 for the law library
of each county.
Squire Aaron was a widower odd, mel
ancholy and wealthy. Au officer in the fa-
nous Dorr rebellion and encouragement
of the state at about the same time. ne was
fogced 10 iee from Rhode Island after that
queer Gasco; he came to New Boston, in
Thompson town, and applied himself to the
practice of law and the accumulation of
coins. After the Dorr rebellion experience
he had no faith in Uncle SANS printed
'promise to pay" on bank notes, and all the
paper money he received in his business he
quickly converted into hard cash.
Money in pennies ne especially coveted.
These, with the rest of his coin, he buried
in cigar boxes two feet underground under
the floors of his hothouse and other out
buildings, and after bis death the admins
TRAITOR of his estate was busy for several
weeks, with pick-ax AID spade, delving in
the ground about Squire Whites premises
for pennies, gold and silver, and nickels.
For some time the SearcherS found moth
ing, but finally struck a rich lead. They
unearthed altogether, about $S,000, which
was only small portion of the 'squire's
possessions The ready monev was shoveled
into bags, which were shipped to Mr.. Whites
brother in Hackeusack. The old gentle
man had been forty years accommodating
the $4,000. He had had more of it, but a
few years before his death, burglars who
knew of his subterranean banking methods,
broke open some of his deposits, and fled
with considerable booty to Springfield,
Mass, where they bought horse and paid
for it with 1900 pennies That transac-
ton was instrumental in landing them in
Massachusetts, state prison.
One of the last acts of the 'squire's queer
life was to buy hill in Dudley, Mass,
whose purple peak was just discernable
from his home, and, after deciding it to the
town of Dudley TO he used for burial
yard for public paupers, he inserted a clause
in his will providing that his body should
be inferred in that yard. The 'sluire's re-
mains were buried there in compliance with
his behest.

A COAL TRADE FIGHT.
The Interstate Agreement Dissolved
at COlum bus.

The Interstate Agreement Dissolved
at Columbus
PITTsBURG, PA, March 15.-The failure
of the miners aud operators to agree upon
scale Of wages at the Columbus convention
and the dissolving of the interstate agree
ment are regarded as constituting one of
the most serious blows that the coal trade in
Pittsburg has received for several years The
operators from this region who attended
the convention returned home to-day
They say that the failure to agree upon
price means that each operator will here
after act for himself and that
means cutting Of the selling
price of coal and mining and possibly
strikes. The question also comes up as to
how it will affect the different associations
of operators and there are already rumors
or these also being dissolved.
LABOR RIVALRY.
The operators say that the breaking of
the interstate agreement was not only due
to Indiana and Illinois operators, but to
rivalry between the progressive union of
miners and the Knights of Labor. 1t
is claimed that the progressive union of
ficials would not have placed ON record
reduction of wages as their first official &C
tion, as that would give the Knights of
Labor an opportunity to say to the rank
and file that no good results would come
from their joining the progressive union.

FLoRIDA's SPORTING CLUB.
Il Proposes to Protect the Game OF tn
State by Strict Laws.

a
State by Strict Laws
TARPoN SPRINGS, March 1.-THE Flor
ida Land and Water Club, of which John
Mortimer Murphy has been president for
the last six years, changed its name to-day
to that of the Florida Field Sports Associa-
ton, and elected the following officers:
Honorary President-The Duke of Suther-
land.
President-Col. j. f. Hart, jacksonville.
Vice Presidents-Gen. J. b. Wall,
Tampa: Col. ID. Z. Maxwell, jacksonville
Col. D. H. Elliot, Sanford; ex-Gov. A. p.
K. Stafford. Tarpon Springs
Corresponding Secretary. NJ. Murphy,
Anclote.
The object of this association is to pre-
serve the game aud fish of the state, see
that the game laws are enforced, develop a
taste for field sports and all manly ou door
recreation, and try to acclimate such game
as may be found suitable for this climate.
Mr. Murphy has been quietly at work on
this organization since last September, and
has now secured the names of some of the
most distinguished gentlemen in the state
as members. Many eminent lovers Of the
rod and gun in the northern states have not
only asked to be enrolled, but promise to
help financially, if money is needed.
Every sportsman, north or south, who
warmest appreciation of the objects Of the
society, and thinks it is high time some-
thing was done. The sporting journals
and magazines are quite enthusiastic about
the matter, and are willing to support the
moyement to the best of their ability. One
paper says Mr.. Murphy will deserve a fino
monument if he can carry the purpose TO a
successful ISSUE
All who are acquainted with the state say
that it is positively criminal for the resi-
dents to permit their game 10 be DESTROYED
as it is. A well known naturalist says that
the fur, fin and feath of Florida are now
disappearing so rapidly before the ceaseless
onslaughts of trappers, pot-huuters, human
fish hogs and game assassins in general
that they will become extinct in short
time unless immediate efforts are made TO
preserve them.
Competent sportsmen say that Florida
can furnish the finest fishing and shooting
to be found on this continent for many
years to come, if only laws are passed to
keep reckless shooting and seining within
bounds.
Mr.. Murphy has interviewed scores Of
Floridians concerning the game laws which
they would be willing to accept and help
enforce, and be found all Of them not only
anxious that game laws should be passed,
but ready to obey them to the letter If they
were impartially applied. All recognized
the necessity for such laws, but thought

establishment in East st. Louis at 9 o'clock
this morning completely destroyed the

joining was also burned. The loss is esti-

cred by insurance.
A MINING SHELTER DESTROYED.
BUTTE, MONT, March 15.-One of the
smeters of the Anaconda Mining Company
at Anaconda was burned Yesterday, entail
ing a loss of fully $1,000, 900, with no insur-
ance. The fire was undoubtedly Of incendi-
airy origin. The fire was first discovered in
the middle of the roof Of the ore house at
the lower works, which are situated
a mile below the town on the north side
of Warm Springs creek. The Anaconda
company had what was considered q per-
feet fire system of its own and carries its
own insurance. Hose is distributed in all
parts of the buildings and there is tremend-
GUS water power on hand all the time for
use in case of fire. In spite Of this, it was
not ten minutes until all the efforts Of the
firemen were futile. The main efforts
were then directed to save adjoining
buildings. In this they were partially sue
oessful. The concentrator and stamp mill
were in the same building as the ore house,
and they are saved. Tne great smelter
building lies just north of the ore house
where the fire caught, aud contained twenty
of the "Brueckner" furnaces. Within two
hours after the outbreak of the fire this
great building was entirely destroyed, and
not a stick of its whole forest of frame
work was left standing. The wreck was
total. The flames then spread to a new
building, 40U feet square, which was being
erected for calcine furnaces, and this was
also consumed. At least one-half of the
plant was destroyed, and what is left is
rendered inactive altogether until the rest
can be rebuilt. The buildings we're all
new, as were also the machinery, which
was heavy and expensive.
