noticeable about him that was Fat vari-
ance with the other horses around him.
The day was extremely hot, and the
horses around the market house were
ready to drop with the heat, but old
Dobbin was brighter and friskier than
any of his younger companions. Before
his master left home that morning. he
had drawn large bunch Of grass from
the lake near home and carefully fas-
tened this on Dobbin's head. The
grass was wet and cool and the horse
logged along at an easy pace, not at all
bothered by the heat of the day.
Another whose owner remembered
that his animal had feelings as well as
himself came down Nicollet avenue
and made the horses of the opposite

who think enough Republican votes
would have been secured to defeat the
free coinage measure.
MIR. Conger, chairman of the coinage
committee, says they will meet early
next week and report back the bill at
once. Then the steering or rules COM
mittee will take the matter in
hand and the circus will begin
again. Altogether, it is a singular pros
pect, and no one can predict the fate of
the bill. Talk is largely against any
free coinage measure, however, and the
senate must back down.

GREATLY MISAPPREHENDED.
WASHINGTON, June 21.-Referring to
the published stories concerning the
scene in the room of the committee on
appropriations the other day "a gentleman
who was present said tonight the whole
affair had been greatly misapprehended.
The discussion which took place was
not in relation to the general schedules
of the Mckinley bill, but the feature
which Mr.. Blaine condemned was that of
giving free market insthe United States
to the products of sugar planters of
the Southern continent, and not asking
in return free markets for the products
of our own farmers, where we can get
them merely for asking. Mr.. Blaine
says corn would not be selling in Ne
braska for eighteen cents bushel if the
markets of Latin America were open to
our products.

THE CENSUS.
From careful compilations made by the
committee on census from unofficial
sources, the city enumerators' count
being part of the basis, the population of
Fort Worth, with two districts still in
complete, foots up 80, 24O. Mr..
James W. Swayne, chairman of the
committee, says if the unenrolled are
entered in time the census will
show Fort Worth to have population of
80 500 TO 50 900. He received q tele-
gram yesterday from Supervisor Neyins
saying that those persons who made
Fort Worth home, but were reckoned as
transients should be counted, and he
would so instruct. The estimate of Sec
rotary Biden of the chamber of commerce
is that 1900 persons have been omitted
from the Fort Worth census.

Suddenly his crazy brain thought OF

On account of q slight accident Capt.
Devlin ordered the anchor out one day in
September, 1882, as we we're off the Banks
of Newfoundland. and the heavy chains
ratified away. Before 40 feet had paid out
the anchor touched bottom. We were
surprised, as there should have been over
two hundred feet of water there.
Second Mate Greggo took soundings
and found 220 feet Of water. We imme-
diately started to wind IN to ascertain tue
cause, when we experienced a terrific
shock. The chain parted and the ship
began TO drift.
We were frightened to say the least, but
n few moments later we heard n cry md.

half n mile to starboard lashing the water
Wi h his powerful tail.
With he captains permission we de-
cided to capture him. and six of us put
of in a boat. Arriving near him. he had
ceased his struggles and become per-
fectly still. A yolley OF shots tic not
disturb him. He was dead. We rowed
around to his mouth. which was amply
large enough for us to row into. and We're
dumfounded to see our anchor lodged in
his throat. with the remainder of our
chain. This had probably caused his
death. We towed him to the ship. cut
him up III the water. recovered our
anchor and made a snug little sum on his
bones and oil. NED,
