THE PACIFIC MAIL.
A Tacoma Terminus Considered a NeGeS-
Sity Of the Northern Pacific.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22-Charles B.
Wright OF the Northern Pacific starts for
Tacoma to-day. He will assist In locating
the new half-million-dollar hotel to De built
by the Tacoma Land Company. lie will
also consider the extension of the Northern
Pacific to the national boundary and the
Pacific Ocean.
New YORK, April 23.-A Director of the
Northern Pacific said this morning that the
proposed line between China and Tacoma
OF the Pacific Mail and Northern Pacific
would undoubtedly be carried out. If it
should fail, some other plan with the same
general res ults would be considered by the
railroad. A direct connection with China
Is now necessity, and if it is not obtained
one waylt VIII be another. The company
prefers TO have the shipping business in the
hands OF an organized steamship company,
ana not TO go into the steamship business
itself. HuntiugtOn's objections ought not
10 be an lnsurmountable obstacle.
One OF the most influential Directors of
the Pacific Mail confirmed this statement
and said Huntington cannot stop the
proposed deal if the board thinks il is for
the best Interest OF the steamship company
TO carry 1t through. In fact, the idea Of the
new line grew partly from the fact that
Huntington had used the Pacific Mail
largely for his own ends, and 1t was 10 put
stop 10 his unfairneSS and breaches of
tath that the proposition was first made.
lhe Pacific Mail has no intention Of discOn-
tinulng San Francisco as a terminus but
merely proposes to secure Tacoma as a Sec
ond terminus"

New YORK, April 23.-The Herald saws:

Caarrh in its destructive force stands next to and
undoubtedly leads on to consumption. 1t is there

disease should not make 1t the object of their lives

themselves with doubtful palliatiyes.

The Eastern Part Of Cuba Tsrrorized by Band
OF Colored Bandits.
HAVANA, April 23.-After several months
of comparative tranquility as to bandits,
kidnapers and blackmailers, the people
have just been startled by the unexpected
announcement OF the sudden appearance in
the eastern part of Cuba of party Of about
thirty or more cOloTed men, well armed and
mounted, under command of CalixtO Maceo,
one of the black chiefs in the past inSur-
Tection. who won for himself great fame as
an astute and gallant leader This party.

in town against the exactions and crueltieS
committed by the men belonging to this

creasing in such proportions that an Havana
paper has already insInuated that instead
of party of bandits, with the object of
plunderng the country, it might be the
commencement OF a war OF races begun by
Cuban negroes.

KEPT SOBER AND WON.
But This New York Drummer Had
fnr Mnnev

But This New York Drummer Had to
sue for His Money.
One OF the most curious cases ever tried
in the courts Of Worcester, Mass, and the
only one of the kind ever tried before
jury. was decided recently, says the Boston
Globe. 1t was an action of John Lankota
of New York VS.. George L. Newton of the
firm of Larned, Newton IL Co. of this city.
The plaintiff, in his allegation, stated that
MT. Newton, who is strict temperance
man and church member, on the Sd day
OF November, 1887, promised to give him
SlOO If he would not drink a drop Of intoxi-
eating liquor for one year. On the expira-
ton OF the year the plaintiff appeared be-
fore the deiendent Mr.. Newton, and as
serting that he had abstained from drink
Ing for the year, claimed his Sl00 Mr..
Newton refused to pay, and on all sides it
was agreed by the drummer's friends that
1t would be good joke If Newton were
sued Tor the amount.
Suit was brought and postponed from
time 10 time, but the drummer was persist
ent, and to-day walked out of court proud
m the fact of verdict in his favor. 1t
establishes as well his sObriety for year.
The plaintiff testified to the facts in the
case. The book-keeper for Larned, New
ton d. Co. testified for the plaintiff to the eff
1ect that he was witness to the agree
ment. This closed the plaintiffs case. The
oeiense rested its case without Offering any
testimony. 1t admitted the fact as alleged
by plaintiff, but asked the Court to rule
that there was not sufficient consideration
to form contract capable of legal enforce
ment. The Court declined so to rule and
instructed the jury to find for the plaintiff
In the sum of 500, with interest from date
OF the writ. The jury accordingly returned
verdict for plaintiff, and assessed dam-
ages in the sum of S1O6 TO-
The preliminary arguments of the coun-
sci promised to be funny and it was sug
gested jOcosely that since the drummer was
the gamer by following the advice given
he should be the one to settle and pay over
to Newton. The case has attracted consid-
cradle attention here and has been the
source of good deal of sport.

THE UNKNOWN SUICIDE.
Remarkable Resemblance to Eyraud, The
French Murderer

French Murderer.
NEW YORK, April 23-Inspector Byrnes
said to-day he had been informed that the
body of the unknown suicide found at Will
low Brook. Staten Island, is not that of
Eyraud. The body was buried this morn
ing. The inquest took place this evening.
Late this afternoon the Coroner's jury
visited 1.-THE Almshouse on Staten Island,
where the body of the suicide, supposed to
be the murderer Eyraud, is inclosed in a
rude coffin. When the top of the box was
pried off it was plainly seen that
the face bore a wonderful resem-
blance to that of the published likeness.
The shape of the nose, the color OF the
mustache and the hair was in exact accord
ance with the description of Eyraud fur
nished by the French authorities. An
equally Striking point Twas the shape and
size of the hands. The fingers, long and
thick, even in repose give the impression of
extraordinary strength.
The inquest was resumed at Port Rich
mond tonight. The jury is so impressed
that the body is that Of Eyraud that they
requested the permission of the Coroner to
take a second view of the body. The re-
quest was granted, and another visit made
TO the Almshouse at late hour Tonight
The Coroner declared that if they should
consider the Identification complete he
would personally correspond with the
French authorities.

CALIFORNIA; OPPORTUNITY.
San Franciscan in New York Talks About
the Worlds Fair.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Frank S. John
son OF the johnson Locke Mercantile Com
pany of San Francisco is here. He says the
prospects for California dried fruits the
coming season are very brilliant, owing to
the undOubted shortness of the Delaware
and Maryland crops. The demand for
canned fruits has decreased, and attention
seems largely directed to fine dried fruit as
more economical substitute. Since the
Worlds Fair will be held in Chicago, John
son says II Will be great opportunity for
California. The State should appropriate
S5o0,000 in aid of the fair. He advocates
the appointment of Commissioners, men
like Arthur r. Briggs, who would have the
confidence of producers and merchants If
the right kind of commissioners are ap-
pointed, johnson believes large private sub
scriptions would supplement the State ap-
preparation. He is confident the Chicago
Fair Will have greater weight in shaping
the destinies of California than anything
since the opening of the Pacific railroads.
