A BEER BEQUEST.
William Linicke's Curious Legacy
to His Friends.

Being bachelor without any nome ties,
William Llnicke, welIknown German
resident Of this city, for many years spent
his evenings at the World Saloon on Mont
gomery avenue, near Vallejo street. Each
night of the week would find him there
quaffing the foaming lager over a quiet
game of cards or billiards. He grew much
attached to the place and made many
friends, Including the proprietor, d. DippeL
Linlcke, who, by the way, was a G. A. X.
veteran, besides being of sOciable disposi-
ton, was also money maker. and when q
few months ago he died at the age of 63, he
was found to have left quite nice sum of
money, which was bequeathed to his three
brothers. less few legacies and trust ap-
preparations. AS mark of the apprecia-
ton of the kindly treatment he received at
the saloon, Linicke appointed III. Dippel,
the proprietor, one OF the executors of his
VIII. Among the articles OF the Will was
the following rather peculiar one:
desire that the sum of 500 be set aside out
of my property and thar ii be expended in pro-
meet within six months after my death at The
World saloon and enjoy themselves as long as
the money lasts, and H.lDppel, one of my ex-
eeutors, shall have charge Of the banquet.
In accordance with this peculiar desire,
Executor Dippel sent out printed invita-
tions to all the patrons of his saloon to
meet last night at s 80 o'clock and carry out
the wishes of the deceased. A large table
was spread with sandwiches. sausages, eel
cry, plates. knives, forks and r-glasses.
About o'clock, there being some forty of
the late Linicke's friends present. the effort
to spend the 800 at the banquet was COM
menced. Any desired liquid could have
been had for the asking, but the main fluid
consumed was beer, which flowed like
water.
Some very eulogistic speeches about the
deeeased's generosity and goodfelowship
were made by those who had known him in
life, and then the business of the evening
was resumed with renewed vim. 1t was an
arduous task, but perseverance will pump
out even a brewery, and at an early hour
this morning the sum set aside for the ban
quet was very nearly exhausted.

TIE LOCAL INTEREST.
But Little Taken in tho Result of Il


But Little Taken in tho Result of the
Handicap.
The Brooklyn handicap run yesterday
did not attract much attention among the
local spectators who daily throng the
pool-rooms. The majority of them only
regard race as means Of wagering
money, and yesterday they showed about
rs much enthusiasm over the result of the
handicap as they would have over regular
Gutenberg winteg-mud splash between
tenth-rate cast-offS
Perhaps much OF this lack of interest was
due to the numerous scratches, especially
of the winter favorites, and the victory of
the longest outsider 10 the post betting,
Castaway. None of the strong tips, such
as Los Angeles or Sir Dixon. were even
mentioned in the telegraphic description,
and when the announcement was made,
"Castaway wins by ten lengths" not even
an exclamation of disgust was heard, so
little apparent interest in the result was
taken. Strong tips were out on Sir Dixon,
Badge and Los Angeles.
Z. j. Baldwin, surnamed "The Lucky"
owner of Los Angeles, was on hand early
and from a snug seat in one of the rooms
surveyed the situation. He expressed his
opinion strongly that Los Angeles would
win and stood to win several thousand dol
lars had she gained the victory. In the
WINTER DOOk opened mere on the race S4UOO
TO SlO0 was laid against the winner, ON an
Eastern order. In the betting, just before
the start, Castaway went back to 10 to
after opening at S, owing TO the strong sup
port given 10 Badge, Los Angeles and Sir
Dixon.
The same debonnaire young millionaire
who at the last BlOOd-horse races won $50
or spare S25 investment on Dave Douglass
was to the fore again yesterday. Some
friend told him lie rather iancied Castaway,
whereupOn the fortunate owner of plenty
Of loose money placed $500 on Castaway's
chances, and won S1l00 On the race. Had
he waited few moments till Castaway
went to longer odds lie would have won
$1,000 on the same amount of money in
vested.
According to the description received
Castaway made all the running, was never
headed and won by ten lengths from Badge,
with Eric third. Time, 2:10A. None Of
the others were ever heard of. Most prob
ably the other jockeys thought that Casta-
way could not keep up her rate and thought
lie would come back to them when run out.
In this they were seriously mistaken.

EMPRESS RIVALRY.
Trouble Over the Inauguration of New

Trouble Over the Inauguration Of a New
Contract.
DENVER, May 15.-There was trouble at
the Union Depot this morning between the
Denver and Rio Grande Express and the
Wells-Fargo Express companies Ever
since the Colorado Midland road was
opened the Wells Fargo Express Company
has been run over its line. The new con-
tract with the Rio Grande Company was to
20 into effect to-day. Agents of both ex-
press companies were on hand this morn
ing, the Rio Grande getting possession of
the car. Wells-Fargo goods we're attempted
to be placed on the car platform but were
pitched off, and the agents and messengers
OF both companies nearly came to blows in
the excitement which eusued. The Mid
land train runs over the Santa Fe track to
Colorado Springs aud the Wells-Fargo Com
panY has the exclusive contract with the
Santa Fe Company. The Santa Fe train,
therefore, refused to allow the Midland to
proceed, whereupon it took the Rio Grande
Railway track to that point. Just what the
outcome of the trouble between the express
companies VIII be in its effect on the rela-
tions of the different railway companies
named cannot be predicted.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-In the Senate
Moody, from the Committee on Indian
Depredations, reported bill for the pay
ment of the Indian depreciation claims.
This bill provides concurrent jurisdiction
for the District and Circuit courts with the
Court OF Claims on these claims, the District
courts to consider all claims of $1,000 and
less and the Circuit courts to consider claims
til at range between $1,000 and $4,000, the
consideration of the cases to be by the

filed within three years after the passage
Of this act. Claims prior to 1867 are barred,
unless proceedings in them are now pend
ing.
Sherman introduced an amendment TO the
Jones Silver Bill.
At II 80 o'clock the Silver Bill came up
as unfinished business and Teller resumed
the floor to conclude his speech thereon.
Butler invited Teller to give his idea of
the effect Of free coinage on International
monetary arrangements.
Teller answered that everybody admitted
that the proposed bill was temporary af-
fair. The bill was halfway scheme 1t
afforded no relief whatever, excepting the
making OF special market for silver in eX-
S2,O0O,0O0 per month. If it was proposed to
restore silver, 1t would have to be given
its full money function. There were at
least nine men in the world calling for Sill

There were no more than 125, 600, 600 people
that preferred. in their trade, gold to silver,
while there were over 1000, 900, 600 of people
among whom by preference silver was the

the use OF money than gold. While he was
himself bimetallist, if there was to be
only one money standard he would well
