...ost Of Saui Ralston's intimate friends
s.:.ve come TO grief. OF the group Of
Young men with whom he associated in
Providence, R. l., one was murdered IN
Arizona and another in Mexico; another
fell in a duel in France, and another died
in a Paris hospital. Still another, who,
through Ralstons influence, secured
position in the Alaska seal fisheries, was
! lost at sea. Ralston's death leaves but
two Of the party alive. One Of these has
suffered the loss of his reason, and is now
hopelessly insane in the Butler asylum at
Providence. The other was released
from the same asylum only last year.
In the meantime Sharon's earthly ca
reer has ended, Sarah Altheas suit
against him and his estate has led to the
death of Judge Terry, and now fresh
suits are on trial as to the old bank. And
thev have brought out some very ugly
facts
It appears to be proved that Banker
RaIston was not such bankrupt as
Sharon desired to make out Mrs. Leon
ide Burling is the widow of William
Burling, who, with his brother James,
borrowed money quietly for Ralston and
took stocks as securities. Sharon called
on them to pay, and they protested that
as Sharon well knew, they had only act,
ed as Ralston's agents and never received
dollar of the money raised on notes
Sharon asserted that the California bank
stock in their hands was fraudulentlN
over issued, and demanded that Bulllns
Day the full amount borrowed on these
securities. Burling Bros. said that they
had borrowed at various times sS,O00,-
900 for Ralston, never doubling his Sc
curity, and they demanded that all Sc,
curities other than bank stock be held
for them. Sharon replied that all other
stock had been taken from the California
bank and must be returned; that Ralston
had left an estate and that all that was left
to hope for, Burling Bros. was to collect
from it, but that Burling Bros. must pay
the notes.
The result was the Burlings were
crushed and went into bankruptcy. Lit
tie by little the facts have been forced
| out. Mrs. Burling has already received
| considerable sums, and just before his
death Sharon paid 100000 to compro
mise a suit Mrs. Burling's averment
are very numerous and need not be re
counted; their substance is that all Sha
] ron's charges against Ralston5 were eithe

and that her husband was robbed a

THE GREAT FILE INVENTION.

Portland Argus.

When ! lived in Chicago a queer
chap invented cheap way 70 make
files. A biz Of hot steel went into his
machine and the file was made at q
single blow and fell into a tank
OF strong mineral water to
cool. Then a bare-armed work
man thrust in his hand and felt
around and brought 1t up for inspec-
ton. The files thus made were q lit
tie imperfect, but were good ones, and
he explained that the machine was a
small experimental one and could not,
OF course, do as perfect work as
large and powerful machine would.
Capitalists went around ard examined
the machine and saw him heat the
steel in q hand Jorge and put il
in the machine and saw the red hot
nle come out and drop into the water,
and they tried the file with their own
hands on iron which they had brought
from home and found ii excellent.
Ehe only secret WAS the chemical
water into which the files dropped,
and which gave them edge. A COM
pany was formed, and money was
paid in freely 10 enable the inventor
10 make set of large machines, and
when that was doae. he disappeared.
II was fraud He had bought good
files aud defacea them a little, and
stocked his tank with them. His ma
chine stamped the bit Of steel into file
shape, and II dropped into the water
with the files, and his workman. who
was in collision, felt around and
brought up file instead of the steel.
