a Rich Old Rock Island Widower Sued for
Breach of Promise.
Buxom Ann Dunning, aged 35 years, has
set the city Of Rock Island wild by filing a
suit for breach of promise against Assessor
John Barge, a wealthy widower of ~, who
was for some time a member of the board
of education, and has held his present Of
fee for nearly ten years. When Mr..
Barge's wife died three years ago he was
inconsolablo and no one thought he would
marry again, especially as he had a charm
ing daughter nearly old enough to enter SO.
clety who assumed management of ner
fathers household. Mrs. Dunning was at
that time a scrub m in the county
building. Though not considered particu-
larly attractive by others, Mr.. Barge,
whose duties as assessor brought her
under his observation dailv, soon
became violently infatuated, and, if Mrs.
Dunning's allegations are true, offered her
his heart and hand and even named q day
III February for the wedding. Mrs. Dun
ming says she prepared for the ceremony
and impatiently awaited the time when
she should be installed as the head of Mr..
Barge's house, and meanwhile read and
reread ardent letters in which Mr.. Barge
declared his undying affection. When the
time arrived, however, she says he post.
poned the ceremony until March, aud on
the second date put her off indefinitely.
Believing now that he is tickle and does
not intend to marry her at all, she has
brought suit for $4,000 damages. She
was divorced last September, and claims
that Mr.. Barge proposed and was accepted
soon afterward. Mr.. Barge does not deny
that there was an engagement between
himself and Mrs. Dunning, or that the
wedding day was fixed, or that he has told
her he would not marry her. Mr.. Barge's
letters, which are said to be very affection
ate, will be read at the trial.

Tor a year. when Mr.. Scammon formed
a partnership with Norman b. Judd. and
they We're together for ten years.
MI. Scammon was of u too progressive

the law and he assumed a prominent
part in developing the CITY.
With w. Il. Ogden he was successful
in completing the Chicago & Galcna
Union railroad, and these gentlemen
made themselves pioneers of the present
railway system of the Northwest. During
TINS period Mr.. Scammon also took an
active part i'll the political arena, and
was one OF the founders of the Republic
can party. He then engaged in the
banking business. forming the Marine

years. and while abroad his wife died.
He returned to Chicago in 1860 and
found his insurance company threat-

fairs in very bad shape.
He opened a private bank and closed
| mp the affairs of the old institutions.
The tire in 1871 destroyed all the build.
ing property he had, end his loss at that
time was estimated at $500, 900. by
le13 he was in fair condition to repair
his financial standing. but the panic OF
that year involved him still further.

TOO MUCH FOR BILLY.
Fatal Attempt of al InIuisitive Goat to Eat
an Electric Wire.

The deadly electric light wire has been
heard from again in Jersey City. 1t was
at the corner of Cook street aud Newark
venue. There is an arc light there in
front Of a grocery store. The wires are
strung on poles IN the opposite side of the
street, and two wires extend across the
street to the light. One of these wires
broke near the lamp and fell into the
street near the car tracks, where it lay sput-
tering blue fire and attracting a crowd.
Freebooter VIM. Nelson volunteered to
take it out of the street SO that the street
cars could pass. He got a long pole. and
after fifteen minutes work he succeeded in
pohing the wire OFT the tricks. In the
meantime a messenger had gone to the
electric light company's Office to get a line
man.
Before q llneman arrived a goat sauntered
down the street. He was of the masculine
gender, and of an inquisitive turn of mind.
He had long black and white hair and
large eyes. He was on the opposite side
of the street from the broken wire. The
crowd attracted his attention and be started
toward it. He was about half way across
the street when he saw the blue flame COM
ing apparently from the pavement. He
stood still aud shifted the air a minute,
and then, apparently satisfied that there
was no Danger, ne walked Slowly toward
the wire with his nose to the ground. The
crowd did not warn him. The silence was
intense. Within thee feet of the end of
the wire the goat stoppedagain and shifted.
The wire wasn't sputtering SO much then.
The goat locke l ut it curiously, started to
walk away and hesitated. The crowd
heaved a sigh Of disappointment. Whether
the goat heard this and determined to see
the thing through to the end is not pos
sible to say, but at any rate he turned
again and walked up to the wire. He
looked down at the wire with both eyes
anl owered his head, shifting all the time.
Finally he opened his mouth and stuck out
his tongue and touched the wire.
Just one shiver passed through his body
from stem to stern, and he rolled over
dead. His eyes bulged out and his tongue
was burned black. Alineman arrived soon
afterward and fixed tho wire.

OPIUM sMuGGLERs CAUGHT.
twenty-five Hundred Dollars Worth %
the STUFF Found in Snn Francisco hay.

Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars Worth %
the Stuff Found in San Francisco Bay.
Customs officers early on the morning OF
the 18th captured 9 800 worth of opium
that William Bourne was trying to smuggle
to San Francisco. The inspector who was
Oh duty near the Portrero saw a boat shoot
suddenly out from the darkness and pass
the vessel on which he was stationed. Tha
boat seemed to contain sacks. The officer
hailed the boatman, who replied that he had
coal, but refused to come along
side. The officer then opened fire,
but the boat disappeared. Search WAS
made and the boatman found, but without
the suspicious sacks. He said that he ha q
dumped the coal overheard, as he feared
arrest for stealing it. Search was about to
be abandoned, when a log was found near
shore, to which -four sacks were hung by
ropes. The sacks contained opium worth
$4,000. 1t is thought Bourne received the
opium from a China steamer or else
picked it up under a wharf where snug
glers had placed it for HIM. To-day a
fireman on a British Columbia steamer
was caught with $500 worth of opium
under his coat.

COMPANY FOR THE CRANK.
Queen Angelina to Accompany Trai1
Around the World.

Queen Angeline to Accompany Train
Around tile World.
1t is now proposed to send Queen Ange-
line, the daughter of Chief Seattle, around
the world with George Francis Train. She
is at present living in Seattle. and if not
the fairest is the Oldest daughter of the
city and the only living representative of
the famous chief after whom the city was
named. The proposition to send the
dusky maiden around the world was first
proposed among half a dozen citizens.
They we're SO taken up with the scheme
that they immediately pledged something
over $1,000 to defray the expenses of the
trip, and later the matter was laid before
others. 1t is thought that enough money
will be raised to warrant the undertake
ing. Queen Angeline is a w%ell-known
figure on the streets of Seattle. Although
between so and 80 years OF age, she is still
lively enough to walk around over the hills
of Seattle. She speaks English fairly we'll,
and can be understood by one not familiar
with the Chinook jargon. Chief Seattle,
Queen Angeline's father, many years ago
was a conspicuous and we'll known chief,
and had many friends among the pioneers
OF Washington. 1t is estimated it will re-
qulre a purse of $4,000 to send Queen An
ge!lne and escort around the world. Her
consent has not vet been secured, but the
projectors Of the movement are confident
that will be easy to get. Probably a day OF
W will determine the feasibility of the
scheme George Francis Train will be adj
vised at once of the companion which
Seattle has generously provided him, and
he no doubt will aid in tie movement ali
he can.

1unpnY BEAT WARREN
The Fight in San Francisco Stopped b!
the Police.

The Fight i'll San Francisco stopped by
the Police.
The fight between Billy Murphy, Of
Australia, and Tommy Warren, Of Califor-
MIA. at the Occidental club for q purse Of
ST. $40 and the featherwelght championship
was one of the shortest on record in San
Francisco.
Danny Needham, of St. Paul, the we'll
known lightweight, was referee. Both
men were in fine condition.
In the first round Murphy reached War
REM neck with a right handler and sent
him down.
In the second round Murphy again
reached Warren's neck and sent him
against the ropes, but he rallied gamely.
In the third Warren took the aggressive
and gave Murphy some staggering blows
in the jaw and on the body, which dis
tressed him.
In the fourth round Murphy STATED in
with a vicious rush and after some sharp
interchanses the men clinched. The ref
cree tried to separate them, but they fell,
Warren underneath and Murphy's knee
pressing his stomach. When Murphy rose
Warren lay on the tioor evidently in great
pain. Loud cries of foul were raised.
Warren at last got on his feet and the
men resumed fighting. Murphy struck
Warren in the jaw and knocked him down,
and just as he was rising the police broke
INTO the ring and stopped :ne fight. Great
confusion ensued, Warren's friends yelling
foul. Finally the referee secured a hear
ing and awarded the fight to Murphy. The
decision was the cause of another outbreak
and of protests from Warren and his
friends, but the referee remained firm and
the crowd soon dispersed.

No Funds to Pay the Expenses of Veter

No Funds to Pay the Expenses of Veter-
ans to Chickamauga
mWashington dispatch: Inquiries have
reached the War department from
various quarters asking whether there
is any appropriation available to pay the
expenses of veterans visiting the battle
field of Chickamauga for the purpose of
aiding in identifying the lines upon
which they fought. There is no fund
available for that purpose.
Upon the passage of the Chickamauga
park bill, which is expected early in the
summer. officers viii be sent to the field
to confer with all veterans who will
gather there to assist in establishing the
lines.
Until then the time and expense of
those visiting the field would be entirely
wasted, since no one can be there to
make an official record of the informa-
ton gathered or to officially mark points
which might be designated by the visit
ing veterans.

was a stubborn one. About $50 there was
a terrible crash, and the entire building,
except the front wall, fell inward. At the
time a number of 1iremen, variously esti-
mated at eight to twenty. we're on the roof
of the building and were buried in the
debris, which piled forty feet high. Inn
mediately the work of rescuing the living
and extricating the dead was begun by at
least 500 volunteers, in addition to the un-
injured tiremen and the police force.
The dead are:
