GREAT GALL.

Agent "noes" the Lake.
Oliver Roberts, proprietor 0
, the Bellevue Hotel, says that tht
greatest travelling gall he ever
saw was carried by a Sacramento
man who was canvassing for adj
vertisements for one of the daily
papers.
He got off the boat, which stop
ped just long enough for dinner,
and asked Roberts what he would
charge for board by the week.
When he had got the rates he
lifted Roberts for ten dollar adv.
Of the hotel and got his money in
advance.
just then the alarm for dinner
sounded, but the man did not
seem to want to tackle the dining
hall. He kept edging nearer and
nearer to the store-room, and
finally slid in.
Here he found a large new
cheese, and grabbing a knife he
slashed out two-pound segment,
and stuffing his pockets full of
crackers wandered down to the
beech to watch the laughing
waves.
He left when the boat did, and
as the craft pulled of, Roberts :
called out:

up as you have this, and we'll call

APRoBAsLE ROUND.
A Plan to Move the Slugeers,
headquarters to Lake
Tahoe.

HeadquarterS to Lake
I Tahoe.
During the past week there has
Q been number Of strangers in this
city whom no one seems quite to
size down. T." real mission of
these parties in this section is to see
what arrangements can be made
to have the fights which have
been billed to take place in San
Fran cisco to come off at Lake
Tahoe.
The idea is one similar to one
preached some time ago when the
Sullivan and Jackson fight was
first talked of. 1t is to have a
barge towed out in the Lake on |
the line between California and
Nevada and have the fight come off |
on the barge which is to have a
big canvass tent on it to keep the
rays Of the sun off the pugs and
the spectators.
1t is calculated that such a
barge will not cost over $500
and that it will seat 5000 people.
A very cheap barge can be made
OF logs covered with flooring and
earth and sawdust pit in the
center.
The logs and lumber can be
rented Of the lumber companies
for the season and returned in the
Fall. The parties here have been
trying to get figures flom the lum-
Der companies for the use of the II
ogs and lmber, but as yet have I
lot been able to get anything .

liability as corporations for aiding

The BUCKEYE No GooD.-The
APPEAL wishes to record its voice
against the Buckeye mower. Yes
terday the editor rose at 4 o'clock
to cut field Of alfalfa and was
spinning along at a nice Gathering
gait with the machine when the
bolt that holds the seat came
out and tumbled the writer off in

away leaving the driver spinning
about on his head and quoting
passages from Hamlet, The team
broke into the front yard and the
machine, which kept in action, cut
down a line of hedges costing a
dollar a yard, thirty six rose
bushes, two dozen young linden
trees, yellow dog, but no grass.

SITUATION IN HAYTl.
Interview With the Former British Min
lister There.


lister There.
NEW YORK, March 1a1.--Mr. James
Zohrab, British minister to Hayti, who
is in the city on his way to England
says:
Everything is quiet in Hayti, but it
seems to be the calm before a storm.
look for another revolution there very
soon. 1t seems to me that the people
are in a condition that must precipitate
another fight.
"Hayti is naturally one Of the very
richest countries in the world for its
area. / believe that under firmly or
ganized government, government
where property was secure, the island
would support population of 20, 900, 900
souls. One can form no idea of the
wealth of the island without a visit
there.
"There are the coffee forests for in
stance. The coffee bush is not cultivated
at all, but the trees grow wild in such
luxuriance that it is utterly impossible
for a man to penetrate them. Paths are
cut through them from one village to
another, and that is all. When the cof-
fee harvest comes around the people
gather the berries from the edges Of the
groves and the rest goes to waste 1t is
q very conservative estimate when say
that for every 1000 tons gathered 800
tons go to waste.
1T is much the same with the sugar
cane. The people do not cultivate the
sugar cane. 1t grows wild. You can
tell that by looking at it when it is
brought t. town. 1t is crooked. You
could not for So get straight piece two
feet long. Everything grows in such
confusion that the people live in spite of
revolutions. In no other country could
the drain of such constant warfare be
sustained.
"The ordinary government is terribly
expensive. Every year when the coffee
season comes around the government
collects from $4,000,0o0 to 5000, 900.
But under the system there the officials
in power know that their turn to go into
exile will soon come.
81 have been there two years, but the
third set of officials is in power. Each
SET knowing that its time would soon
end, had to prepare to go, so they pock-
eted all the money in sight
"Hayti has bad debt now. The last
revolution added to it materially, 30 that
it rs over $3O, 600, ,00e, With q reasonably
good government this debt could be paid
off. As it is there is no great hope"

1t Is Possible tho Ohio River May Be
Made Navigable the Year Round.
WASHINGTON, March 1l,-Col. E. w.
Merrill, of Cincinnati, was given hear
ing by the river and harbor committee
of the house Saturday morning with
reference to a system of movable dams
for the Ohio river, by y-sRzhjxAB he con-
tends, he can make Il hh naviga-
BILE all the year round. me dams are
similar to what is known to boatmen as
the Davis Island dam, below Pittsburg,
which raises the level of the river dur
ing very low water.
He proposed that the river and harbor
committee should authorize in its forth
coming bill the construction of four such
dams between Wheeling and Pittsburg,
which is the most shallow part of the
stream during the low water season.
The committee was much impressed
with the plan which he proposed, and
they practically gave him to understand
that they would authorize this year the
construction of one such dam just above
Wheeling. Col Merrill says from what
he gathers from the committee he thinks
the system will be adopted and applied
generally to all navigahle tributaries
where low water during the dry season
prevents navigation.

THF WORLDS FAIR COMMITTEE
nittee in Charge of the Fair-1s02 or
1s9S-PrOvisions of the Bill.

Presents a Bill to the House sub-Com-
unittee in Charge of the Tair--1sOa or
1e9S-PrOvisiOns Of the Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE COM
mittee of Chicagoans who have been in
consultation with members of the
worlds fair committee for several days
past, Monday presented completed bill
providing for holding the fair in Chica-
go, to Messrs Hit and Springer, Of the
subcommittee, in charge Of the bill
The bill is really the joint compilation
of the ideas of the subcommittee and
the Chicago delegation. While it con-
tains some changes radically different
from the original BILL it is provided that
there shall be a corporation under the
laws of the state of Illinois, with power
to elect it's own officers, and to have con-
troll of all receipts and disbursements Of
moneys subscribed.
This corporation will have power to Sc
lect suitable site and erect buildings.
These buildings are to be delivered to a
government commission to consist Of
two commissioners from each state and
territory, one to be a Republican and one
a Democrat, these commissioners to- be
nominated by the governors of the states
and appointed by the president.
The local corporation is to have execu-
tive control of the fair while the govern
ment commissioners are to auot space to
exhibitors and appoint juries of award
who shall have control of the prizes,
ETC., to be given ct the expense Of the
United States.
The date of holding the fair is left
blank in the bill, and viii be decided ON
at the next meeting of the full commit,
tee. The Chicago delegation told the
subcommittee that this was a matter
that they were not concerned about, as
Chicago could be ready to hold the fair
in 1892 as well as at any other time.
They agreed, however, to leave the
point for the action os the committee,
several members of which are in favor
of holding the fair in 1898, and cele-
bration in 1892. When the corpor-
alton assures the president that
it has at hand that sum,
and that $1,000, 600 capital and that
So, 900, 900 additional can be had if neces-
sary, he is to appoint the government
commission, which will proceed to Chi
cago and proceed to make preliminary
arrangements for holding the fair.
The section providing for a govern
ment appropriation of $l,5OG,0OO was
not changed

BURNED ALIVE.
Awful Holocaust in the Little
Village of st. Michael, Que.
A Mother and Seven Children
Perish in a Burning House.

The Husband and Father Burned So Sc
vereIy in Attempting to Rescue His
Loved Ones That There is No Hope of
His Recovery-A 16-Year-old Daughter
Being at School Escapes.
MONTREAL, March l1.-A ..orrible
holocaust occurred early Sunday morn
ing at the little village of st. Michael, by
which woman and seven clGldren were
burned to death and the husband and
father received fatal injuries in an heroic
effort to effect a rescue
The village of st. Michael is situated
some twenty-five miles from this city,
and the most prominent man in the little
town was Francois Colbrette, who
owned an extensive farm on the out
skirts of the village, and the manor
house on the farm was the scene of the
awful tragedy
At o'clock Mr.. Colbrette, with his
hired men, after lighting fire in the
kitchen stove, started for the barn, 500
yards from the dwelling, to tend to the
cattle. A short time afterward the hired
man shouted to his master that the
house was on fire.
Colbrette rushing to the door, was
Mortified to see the entire lower part of
the house in flames. He at once fastened
to the scene, the shrieks of his unfortun-
ate family even at that distance being
plainly heard. On arriving he at once
saw tnat it was impossible to enter the
lower part of the house, so he secured
ladder and tried to effect an entrance by
a second-story window No sooner had
he burst in the sash than he was en-
veloped in great sheet of flames and
his clothes on fire in several places.
With his hair singed from his head
and face, and his hands mass of burns,
he fell from the ladder. No bones were
broken by the fall, and the shrieks of
his loved ones, which he could still hear,
made him forget his own shocking in
juries, and, picking himself up, with his
clothes still blazing, he rushed to alarm
the neighbors. When those arrived the
fire was past extinguishing, and the
large manor house was simply mass of
smouldering ruins. Mrs Colbrette and
her seven children had fallen victims to
the fire demon.
Later on in the day the remains of the
unfortunate mother, with the youngest
child clasped in her arms, were found.
The other six had been burned to ashes
and no trace of their bodies could be
found. The eldest child, Miss Marie
Colbrette, aged 16, had fortunate es-
cape from similar fate, as only on Sat
urday she had been sent to the convent
of the Sacred Heart at Sault au Recollet,
Colbrette himself was so seriously
burned in his brave efforts to save his
family that no hope is entertained of his
raoovarv
