He Also Had Rules.

He had opened restaurant in Buf-
falo, says the New York Sun, and after
two or three weeks he called at bank
to get the cash on a small check re-
ceived from some one in Philadelphia.
"Have to be identified, sir" said the
teller, as he showed it back.
'But am Blank, of the new restau-
rant around the corner"
"Must be identified"
'This is payable to me or order, and
I've endorsed it" protested the restau-
rateur.
Cant help it, sir. Rules OF the
bank"
The man went out and brought some
one back to identify him, and the money
was handed over. Three days later the
teller dropped in for lunch at the new
restaurant. He had taken a seat and
given his order, when the proprietor APP
preached him and said:
"Have to be identified, sir"
Chow? What ?"
"Have to be identified before you can
get anything here, sir"
identified? don't understand you, "
protested the teller.
''Plain as day, sir. Rule of the house
that ali bank officials have to be identi-
fed. Better 60 out and find some re-
sponsible party who knows you.'
Hanged if l do" growled the teller,
and he reached for his hat and coat and
banged the door hard as he went out.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
A Stranger Found Dying at Sacrament,
From Bullet Wounds.

A Stranger Found Dying at Sacramento
From Bullet Wounds.
SACRAMENTO, May 25.-About 10 O'Clock
this forenoon Police Officer Farrell found
a man lying on the levee suffering fro.A
the effects of two bullet wounds, one in
the head and the other in the stomach.
The wounded man gave his name as Ed
ward Goodwin, aged 81, and said he was
native of New York. Being informed
that his wounds would doubtless prove
fatal, and that he had better give the
address of his relatives, he refused to do
so and remarked: ''It will be better
that they know nothing about this af-
fair" He informed the chief of police
that he came to Sacramento Saturday
from San Francisco, and that German
or Swede, whom he accused of stealing
his blankets, first threw red pepper in
his eyes and then shot him. Goodwin
died at 3 O'Clock this afternoon. The
man who did the shooting escaped. The
chief of police does not believe the story
told by Goodwin. He thinks the dead
man was the companion of the person
who killed him; that they had probably
been associated in some disreputable
business, and finally quarreled, and that
their associations were of such nature
that he did not dare reveal them.

the John Charles block was struck by
lightning and fired. The flames were
communicated to the adjoining build
ings, and the citizens turned out to ex-
tinguish the fire. While endeavoring to
save the contents of a general store,
fifty pounds of dynamite exploded. John

people more or less severely injured. 1t
is not thought, however, that any of
them will die. The explosion was heard
five miles distant, and nearly all the

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
What B 9th Houses Expect to Accomplish
this Week.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-In the senate
the naval appropriation bill comes up
tomorrow as unfinished business. BY
agreement the original packages bill is
the special order for Tuesday. Doubt
less if the silver bill will get a hearing
this week, Pugh will speak on it. If
the chance offers Sherman may also
speak. The committee on appropriations
is expected to have the Notifications and
legislative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bills ready to report during the
week.
Probably the remainder of the river
and harbor appropriations bill will be
disposed of by the house tomorrow. The
conference report on the antitrust bill
may be presented early in the week, and
will doubtless give rise to much debate,
as the report is unacceptable to some OF
the democrats. The Alabama election
case will again be postponed.

SAN Francisco, May 25.-Captain An
derson, of the ship Oneida, arrived here
tonight on the schooner Mary Kimball.
He reports that his ship was wrecked
April Goth, on Hennine's rock, Sanek
island, during a dense fog. Thirty
three Chinese and fortyfve white men
escaped, and seventy-seven Chinese are
missing, and believed to be drowned.
They were en- route to the salmon fish
cries in Alaska. Details of the wreck
have not yet been obtained. The
Oneida was built in Maine in 1885, was
of 1900 tons burden, and owned by
Leon Sloss.
Later-The Oneida had on board 10
Chinese and forty-ive white men, nearly
all of which were on their way to a sal
mon cannery on Lanck island, in the
Bering sea. On the afternoon OF
April 26th the Oneida had nearly
reached her destination. Captain
Anderson stated that he made run of
about thirty miles to clear the south
west point of the island. At 9 p. m. he
supposed he was a long distance from
the land. He could not see on account
OF a heavy fog. He put back about three
miles, expecting to pass on the opposite
side of the point Instead, the vessel
struck on Hennine's rock, on the south
west end of the island A heavy sea
was on and in a short time the Oneida
was a total wreck. The white men and
thirty-three Chinese escaped in boats, or
fioated ashore on pieces Of the wreck.
Seventy-seven Chinese were undoubt-
edly drowned, as they have never been
heard of. The Oneida had on board ma
terial for building and running salmon
cannery, which was to have been erected
on the island

ON THE ILL-FATED OREGON.
Judge Drummond Refused to Leave the
Sinking Ship Till all Were Saved.


Sinking Ship Till all Were Saved.
A gentleman who was follow-passen-
ger with the late Judge Drummond on
the ill-fated ocean steamer Oregon,
which went down in the Atlantic some
years ago, tells the following incident,
which shows the calm, ,imperturbable and
heroic mind and mold of the distin-
guished jurist:
when everybody was making wild
scramble for the boats to save them
selves from the sinking steamer, Judge
Drummond was one of the coolest men
on the ship. He joined the captain and
other officers in assisting the
passengers to get into the boats.
When several boats had been filled and
put safely off, he was told he must now
get in himself. Looking at the scores
still on deck and in immediate danger of
being engulfed at any moment, he re-
fused to CO. saying: No; am an old
man, and have lived my days out. Most
OF those who are here are yet young or
in the prime of life. They may be use
ful to the world, and all such are
needed. A worn-out old man can serve
no purpose to the world except as
memory or bother to those who have
1iiO SdAC VI lillll III lllS Oltl aye. Sldll
stay here and see that all the women
and children are saved first and then the
older people. If after this l can be saved
| shall be glad to join you, for life is al
ways sweet and desirable at any age.'
ITO this he steadfastly adhered, nor
could he be induced to change his mind.
The water was washing over the deck
when the last boat-load had left the ves-
sci, and the judge saw that there was
room enough for him. He then took
his place, the last man, except one or
two OF the ships officers, to leave the
steamer. He stood there like the statue
of some great hero, ,and issued directions.
and even commands, as calmly as if he
had been rendering decision on the
bench. No one in all that COM
pany at that terrible hour will
ever forget Judge Drummond and his
virtual sacrifice of his life for
his fellow passengers. His offering was
as surely a giving of his life for his
fellow-men as if he had died, since it
was only providential interference that
prevented his going down then. Like
Curtius of old he put in the service of
his country the greatest gift, and offered
to her and to humanity the highest sac
rifce possible to man-his life. .''-[Chi-

FATHER MARTINS VAGARIES.
Catholics and Protestants Perplexed by
the Ex-Priest's Conduct.

CatnOl1cS and PrOteStantS PerpleXed by
the Ex-Priests Conduct.
MONTREAL, May 25.--Rev. Mr.. Mar
tin, the ex-Catholic priest who caused a
sensation short time ago by announc-
ing that he would return to the Catholic
church, and then disappeared from pub
lie view, leaving his wife, attended
services at a Presbyterian church
this morning with his wife.
He said tonight that, having
become discouraged through ill-health
and inability to support his family he
made an agreement with the arch
bishop to return to the Catholic church
on condition that his family would be
provided for. He then went down
to Antigonish, Nova Scotia, to the
Trappists' monastery, where the
abbot was instructed to receive
him as priest. Going into retreat he
found his domestic ties too strong, and
he accordingly returned to his family.
The archbishop was seen tonight, but
had little to say. The Protestant clergy
are much perplexed over the mans
vagaries.
