GEORGE FRANcIs TRAN AT YAKIMA.-

0EOhdE FRANCIS IRAN AT
George Francis Train passed through
Yakima, as announced, on Thursday Of
last week. He enquired for The HERALD
man and when he found that worthy be
commenced theoretically to sing his little
song which was listened TO by q constant
ly increasing crowd who gathered with
the circulation Of the report that the
great crank had arrived and was turning
himself loose. Train In his disjointed
way few from o subject TO another.
He commenced with q dissertation on
cranks and likened himself TO Calico
and other ancients. He spoke Of his con-
neetion with the Union Pacific, the credit
ioncier, the building Of Tacoma, and his
trip around the world. He claimed to be
the original Of Jules Verne's Phinias
Foggs and told the story Of the building
Of CoEzen's hotel at Omaha. The latter,
while somewhat old, Is always interesting.
During the building Of the Union Pacific
Train stopped of at Omaha and going to
q hotel for his breakfast had an alterca-
ton with the landlord. Train claims that
the hotel man refused him his matutinal
meal and ordered him from the
house. Be that as II may, George Francis
went Of in high dudgeon with the threat
that he would put up q hotel Of his own.
Before he broke his fast he had men
excavating. By the close Of the day 100
mechanics and laborers were at work and
within twenty days the Cozzen's hotel Of
100 rooms was completed, and the newer
and finer hostelry captured the trade that
had formerly been held by the landlord
with whom Train quarreled. Jumping
aboard the car, as Il was moving OF,
Train shouted back: "Look out for me.

T. j. Levitt, u Spokane Falls, is in the
city looking over the city with the view Of
locating a foundry and machine shop

the proposition some time ago and Is now
ready to consummate the trade II North
Yakima does her share as agreed. He is
q practical machinist, having been en-
ployed for, years with such firms n p.

agrees to build Immediately, and will have

ploying not less than thirty men, IL the

1t has been conceded for years that

Lucky ESCAPE FROM A SERIOUS FIRE
This city had a very close call to q FIRE
Saturday night. At about 10 O'Clock the
smell Of smoke attracted the attention Of
the inmates Of the postofice block and
on investigation they discovered the store
room Of Eshelman Bros. filled with
smoke, and Immediately gave the alarm.
Mr.. E. S. Robertson, who was one Of the
first to arrive promptly broke open the
front door and made bis way through the
dense smoke back 10 the p~ostofRee, where
It was found the fire had started under
the stove, and had already burned a hole
through the floor nearly large enough to
let the stove through, and the flames had
just started In a pile Of waste paper. By
energetic action in the matter and the
use Of q bucket Of water which happened
to be at hand, the fire was checked. A
few minutes later the whole postofice
would have been in flames. Great credit
is due to the promptness and efficiency
Of the fire department, and our citizens
should feel proud Of them. 1t was
only five minutes from the moment Of the
first alarm till they were at the nearest
cistern to the fire with sixty-one pounds
Of steam on and ready for action.
LABoRNG FOR YAKMA's WELFARE
There Is q local rumor afioat that Mayor
Fred r. Reed has located and engaged in
business at Gray's Harbor. This proba-
bly, had Its foundation In the fact Of Mr..
Reeds frequent absence from the city,
but beyond this there is no truth in Il.
This is Mr.. Reeds home, his interests
are mainly conferred here and while away
on the Sound he Is constantly and earn
estly talking and working for the good Of
Yakima. It is ~betraying no confidence,
although the details cannot be made
public, to say that Mr.. Reed Is laboring
on q big scheme, which, II 1t materializes,
and the prospects are most encouraging,
will rebound in i~ncalculable benefit to
this country. Large capitalists have had
their eyes directed towards Yakima and
not only see in 1t q favorable field for in
vestment but IL their promises are not
like pie crust, are really going to get in
here and make things hum this coming
season.

Mrs. Mary Grant Cramer, of East Orange, a
sister of ex-President Grant, has been selected
president of the Essex County Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union.
Frank Stockton, the novelist, lives in a roomy
house at Madison, N. j.. He is a methodical man
in his literary work, devoting the early part of
each day to his writing. At times he suffers
from weak eyes, and on such occasions he die
tates his stories to his wife.
Among the most aggressive Of the Protestant
ministers Down town is the Rev. Joseph A. Mock,
of st. Matthews Protestant Episcopal Church,
on Sussex street. Quietly but gradually MIR.
Mock is restoring the church to its former grade
Of prosperity. The church choir is now said to
be one of the finest in the city, and the various
guilds and societies are in a fourishing condi-
ton. Preparations are being made for an early
repetition of the very successful musical festival
given last fall, and a fair is being arranged to
take place in November.
Rumor has it that Justice Stilsing may posi-
bly, enter the race in the election for a Third
district Freebooter to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Peter T. Donnelly. He once car
ried the district, and he is looked upon by many
as the only available Republican who can carry
1t at present, as several of the strongest Repub-
lican candidates are looking for the Assembly
nominations.
Lawyer James D. Manning is a candidate for

ing frogs and sending them to market.
The hind legs were cut off, skinned,
washed. and after being mildly sailed,
were sent away in barrels. Prices used
to range from fifty to s~eventv-five cents a
dozen pair of legs, and as sales were
quick, there was a pile Of money in the
occupation.
One old fellow, a blacksmith, by the
name of Weld, down in Greenbush, Me,
supplied all of New England for years.
He lived by the side of very extensive
swamps that were filed with wigglers
and cattails. The former furnished food
for the frogs, while the latter CAV them

Were nearly as big as the legs of a

"Old man Weld used to hire boys to kill
the frogs for him, giving them five and
six cents a dozen. The frogs were
SO plentiful that many of the
children earned good wages.
even at that small price. Weld
dressed the frogs. corned them and ship
ped them to Boston in barrels, like her
rings. He kept up the business for years
and, though he slew hundreds of thou
sands every year, the supply did not
diminish at all.
"By ana by the prices went away down.
and as the old man had cleared about

built himself a fine mansion. and lived
at his ease. He is the only man / know
