The civil war has been ended for nearly a
qusrter-century. Why, then, should two
old comrades-in-arms fall to quarreling over a
single incident of it in which history has ac-
corded both an honorable part. Nobody ex-
cept, perhaps, Admiral Porter, will deny that
Gen. Butler was good fighter. Nobody ex-
cept Butler has refused the same credit to Por-
ter. Has not each had glory enough without
striving to pull the others reputation down?

There is q bill before the Massachusetts, legis-
lature to regulate the use of money in cleo
tions. which has called forth from leading
Bay State politician the remark that he be-
heves in the use of money in politics, 'Just as
ii is used in church work and the temperance
movement" II money were used in politics
IN no other manner than in church work this
restrictive legislation would not be proposed
The Bay State politician might supplement
this proposed measure with another to regulate
the use OF money for bribery and corruption in
church work, il he thinks that the latter legis-
lation can find anything upon which to operate
In quaint letter written by George Wash
inston to a personal friend ON the day he was
appointed commander-in-chief of the continent
tai army, the latest news of the generals move
ments is conveyed, with sthe Concluding re-
mark: AS to other articles of Intelligence 1
must refer you to the Gazettes, as the Printers
pick up everything that is stirring in that way"
What would the immortal George have said if
lie could have come back long enough to wit
ness the work of 1.-The Printers" of our day in
picking up Articles of Intelligence" enough to
i'll mammoth sheets of closely set type, in
spite Of the fact if some of them are to be be-
heved, that the committees in charge used
every endeayor to defeat their purpose. The
Printer IN our day who contents himself with
merely picking up what happens to be stirring
is soon left behind in the race by his neighbors
who poke and prod and stir things up them
selves

The EIIxIr Poison.

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 1.-THE
doctors have decided that the man
Steele, on whom the elixir was used
recently, has blood poieion. He will
sue for s., 900 damages.
Fielden Weir, the first man expert
mented on here and whose wonderful
cure was telegraphed broadcast, is in
bed again. Great hard Jumps appear
where the incisions were made and he
is delirious. DR.. Longfellow, who
made the first experiments, in pub
lished statement last night says he
has lost faith in the elixir and that a
local paper paid all the expenses of his
experiments for the first news.
DIR. Lagenbeck, the chemist who
prepares nine-tenths Of all the elixir
used here, says it is dangerous if used
after an hour and rank poison after
two hours.
The scare amounts to a craze. There
are reports that the wOrkhouse physi-
clans hav6 experimental indiscrimin-
ately with frightful results.

PITTsBURG Penna., Aug. 2O.-The
general impression that the South
Fork dam would never be rebuilt ap-
pears to be erroneous as there is strong
probability that fishing lake will be
again established i'll that locality: A
member of the fishing club of that
name said to-day that the belief that
the South Fork had been abandoned as
a club resort was mistaken. The club
he said could not afford to lose all the
money it had invested in the real es-
tate in that locality. The property
was fully worth 100000 and if the
fishing resort was not re-established,
the whole investment would become
almost a dead loss. The intention
was not, however to build the dam the
size of the one destroyed, but one which
would make the lake much less in size,
so that in event of the barrier giving
way again no destruction to life and
property would follow. No move in
that direction will be made until after
the damage suits now pending against
the stock holders are settled by either
payment OF compromise.

though there was nothing Whatever to
support the suspclion against them

french peasant to take them back to
Belfast. Their treatment will be re-
ported to the state department,

ThrlIIIng RsxperIence.

MEMPHIS, TENN, August IS.-Prof
James Robinson, an aronaut who is
giving exhibitions at Jackson Mound
Park just below the city, had II ex-
citing experience this afternoon. He
was advertised to make an ascension
and leap head first with the parachute.
A thousand people assembled to wit
ness it. The balloon rose several hun
dred feet and was then blown directly
above the Mississippi River. 1t was
again beginning to rise when part of
the top blew off, and quantity of hot
air escaping, the balloon rapidly des-
cended. and, with the parachute and
Professor, fell in the river. He sank
below the surface but reappeared al
most Immediately. When it was seen
that fall in the river was inevitable
a skiff was sent to pick up the eronant
and it was within two boats lengths of
him when he fell. AS soon as the
balloon touched the water it rose
again. The professor held on to one
of the ropes, allowed himself to be
drawn up few feet above the surface
of the water, and as the boat was pull
ed under his suspended body he let the
rope slip through his hands and dropp-
ed into the boat.

sold Gabriel" an Indian, $50
Years Old.
His Steps to Town Becoming
Less Frequent.
A Five Story Tenement De-
strOyed by Fire.
Nine of the Occupants Persisted
in the Flames.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19.-For sew
eral years there has been domiciled at
the Monterey county hospital an Indian
known by the name of ''Old Gabriel"
AS to the exact day, month or year of
his birth proof is absent, but of the fact
that he has passed the wonderful age
Of $50 years there is a quantity of
proof. Gabriel was born in Tulare
county, but during childhood re-
moved to the town of Monterey.
Father JuniperO Sierra arrived
in Monterey in ITO, and
IL is well authenticated that at that
time Gabriel was grand father. The
youngest age at which an Indian mar
ried was fifteen years. IL Gabriel fol-
lowed the custom, and married atthat
age, he would necessarily have been at
least thirty-two or thirty-five years old
to have been a grand father at the
time of Father Junipero's landing
there. Father Junipero taught Cab
riel the art of cutting and laying stone
and at the time of the building of the
first chapel In the years of 177l and
1772, Gabriel assisted in the construct
ion of the walls. He be-
that he managed and assisted in the
construction of the San Antonio mis-
sion In 1881. He was then married to
his second wife. Gabriel still speaks
, proudly of the skill he acquired as a
stone cutter. Father Sorrentine, the
priest. and Bishop Amat reached
Monterey some time in the year
1S45. The former says that old Gabriel
was then living with his sixth
wife, and he was by many
years the senior of all the old inhab-
itants. He was then known by the
same name. aud was said to be at that
time over 40 years of age. n widely
known old lady by the name of Castro,
who died five years ago at the age of
50, in testifying to Old Gabriel's age,
said that when a child she saw Old
Gabriel, and at that time he had chill
dren several years older than she was.
Gabriel remained ut Old Capitol
until few years ago, when
he removed to the Salinas valley,
where he has been sojourhing ever
since. Up to withip two or three years
ago he was a familiar figure on the
streets of Salinas City, but now he is
rarely seen, as his trips from the hos
pital to the town are becoming less
frequent. He has always been fond OF
striking colors, and for years wore a
coat made of cloth representing all the
colors of the rainbow.

No Extra ,se..lons NOW.

WAsHINGToN, ID. c., Aug. 1.-THE
probabilities of an extra session grow
less daily, and although some members
assert with considerable postiveness
that congress will certainly be con-
vened before the regular session in De-
cember. shrewd observers who careful
ly read and interpret the signs of the
times, do not subscribe to this propO-
Sition' The death of Congressman
Gay democrat. of Louisiana and Laird,
republican, of Nebraska, together with
the serious illness of Congressman Nut
ting, republican, of New York, who
will not, it is believed, be able to at
tend, seriously complexities matters in
the direction of an extra session be-
cause of the narrow republican major
ity in the house.
Mr.. Gay will be succeeded by dem
ocrat but it is not absolutely certain
that a republican will be chosen in Mr..
Laird's district. Mr.. Laird was very
popular and had majority of about
5000 at the last election. While the
chancess favOrthe selection of repub-
lican, the democrats consider this dis
trict to be debatable ground and will
make a strong fight to capture it. AT
all events if an extra session be called
an election must be held before the as
sembliDg of congress, since the possible
loss of this district to the republicans
would materially change the aspect OF
the house.

Destroyed BY Fire.

NEW YORK, Aug. l9.-Early this
morning a fire broke out in the kitchen
of the restaurant on the store floor of
the big dive Story tenement at 3O5
Seventh avenue. Nine OF the sixty
odd occupants of the house lost their
lives, and it is great wonder that
many more did not perish.
The dead are: William eleanor, six
ty years. burned to death; Nellie Nc
Geoghan, twenty years, smothered;
Mary Wells, thirty-one years. smooth
cred; Jane Wells, four years, sm0th-
eed; Thomas Wells, two years, smooth
cred; Bertha Lusti9. forty years,
burned TO death; William Mckee,
forty-seI IN years, burned to death;
Jane Jeffrey, siXty-live years, smoth-
cred; unknown woman, forty-tive years,
smothered.
The list of injured is William Glen
non, eighteen wears, badly burned;
John Glennon, BADLY burned and in
jured.
The building was occupied by thir.
teen families, who have been made
temporarily homeless by the ire. The
flames did not do very much damage
in the various apartments, but burned
out their strength in the Railways.
The pecuniary loss will not amount to
more than SIC, 900. The fire originated
in the rear of John Snyder's restaur-
ant, at All hour when all the pc ple in
the house were sleeping soundly. just
how the fire started is as vet a
mystery, but as the cook of the
restaurant is missing, it is fair
to presume that an accident occurred
while he was making the fire in the
big range. The awful speed with
which the flames swept up through
the building suggested the use of kerO-
sene by the careless cook. The door
leading from the kitchen into the hall
way was found open and the great vol
ume of flame rolled out into tue pas
sage and swept up the
ktairway 80 rapidly that fam
lilies living on the first 6ool
must inevitably have persisted without
even so much as warming but 1t sc
happened that the rooms directly over
the restaurant were unoccupied on ac-
count of the heat which came w
through the flooring from the nam
moth range underneath.

both Mr.. Carlisle and Mr.. Ryan will
be given public reception by Govern
COSona. and for the three days that
they remain there will receive the at
tention of the state officers. The last
few days of their stay in Mexico have
been marked with the same honors
that have characterized their pro-
longed visit here. 10
Yesterday afternoon Hon. Manuel
Romero Rubio, secretary of the inte-
rior, gave family dinner at Tacubaya
at which Hon. John g. Carlisle, Mrs.
Carlisle and Minister Ryan were pres
ent. President DiaZ and Mrs. DiaZ
we're at the social gathering and din
ner. which is said to have been the
finest ever given in Mexico. Mrs. Car
Isle was visited by Mrs. DiaZ and many
of the ladies of the American colony,
who left floral tokens behind. Mr..
Carlisle was kept busy most of the day
at the United States legation bidding
adieu to his friends. Mr. Carlisle has
received more attention from Mexican
officials during his stay here than any
American since the time of Grant. His
addresses have been timely, and he
leaves with an idea of Mexico that will
be use in the future.

LONDON, Aug. 1s.-If the queen and
her royal offspring have been very
much put out over the shameful way
in which the radicals opposed their
modest request for more money, the
prince of Wales has at least some
thing to soothe his lacerated feelings
as a direct outcome of the agitation
instituted By the radical members of
parliament and their supporters. He
has received an anonymous letter in
which the writers deplOre the ineon-
Sider3te conduct of the disloyal radi-
Gals, sympathiZes with his royal high
ness in the unpleasant position in
which their agitation placed him and
last, but by no means least. gives a
proof of the sincerity of his sympathy
by enclosing ten crisp new Bank of
England notes, each Of the denomina-
ton of 1000 pounds. No name is
signed to the communication. and the
writer has been at such pains to avoid
leaving any clue TO his identity that
no one is prepared to even guess who
he can be. The prince himself has no
suspicion of anyone. but in any event
it is not likely that the police will be
asked to interfere TO drag this modest
