formed Criminal.
Several months ago hard looking case of
humanity. who gave the name of NJ. c.
Walker, applied to the Mayors Office for
assistance. Unprepossessing as he ap-
peare1, and as he really was according to his
own story, he left the impression of honesty
and worked very successfully on the SYM
pathy of his hearers. He told q long story
Of twenty years of crime, much of which
period was spent in the penitentiary. but
declared he was going to reform and live an
honest life, and he wanted the Mayor to
give him something to do.
Tie Mayor thought it could do no harm to
give the fellow chance; he appeared in
earnest, whether he really was or not. He
was put 10 work on Alta plaza, and gave
good service for two months. Afterward he
did some work about the City Hail. Sud-
denly he disappeared, and tue next heard of
him was letter received by George Il. San
derson, the Mayors son and clerk, inform
ing him that Walker was in New York at
work on the Herald and doing we'll.
Yesterday woman applied at the Mayors
office for aid, representing that she W as the
wife of NJ. c. Walker. married to him a
short time ago. She told a pitlful tale of
Walkers sudden disappearance taking with
him everything she had of any value, and
leaving her absolutely destitute.
There is some doubt now of the genuine
ness of Walkers reform. Mrs. Walker says
she knew nothing whatever OF her husband S
past history.

would Have Hanged Him Too.

"That reminds me of good one on old
John McDougall, when he was Governor of
this State" said Mayor Sanderson, who was
standing near by. MANY years ago, during
McDougalfs administration, two men were
sentenced to be hanged at Sacramento for a
most atrocious murder. The morning of
the day set for the execution the Governor
started for this city OH one of the river
packets. He said that he left the capital
to avoid being present at the hanging, and
also to escape the opportunities for execu-
tive clemeney being made by the con-
demned mems friends. On the way down
the river, in fact just outside Sacramento,
the Governors humane scruples overcame
his sense of justice, and he dispatched
message back to the city conveying n re-
preve for the men. The message got there
in time. but the vigiantes were on hand,
also, and the men were hanged at the APP
pointed time.
"The Governor, of course, was ignorant
of this. and on IFS return to the Capital City
the next day he asked the first man he met
at the landing how it Jared with the men
he had reprieyed the day before.
1.-The man, who did not know the Gov
ernor, answered: oh. we hanged 'em all
right, and If we'd had that - old Nc
Dougall here we'd hanged him too.

Voice From Missouri.

Colonel Joseph X. Hickey, the famous
Missouri politician and chief advocate of
the Government land loan idea, arrived
from Washington yesterday and is at the
Palace.
This is my first visit to the Pacific
Coast" said he last night, land l am al
ready an enthusiast"
Then plunging into politics. he continued:
The farmers to-day are ripe for revolt.
The old parties have studiOusly ignored
their claims, and l expect 10 see third
Presidential team in the field. In the South
ern States to-day cotton is four cents a
pound cheaper than it was year ago. That
means comparative loss to the farmers Of
that section Of so bale, AS this years
crop will aggregate 100000 bales, the
farmers are losers to the extent of S160, 000.-
0C0. At the same time they are paying
seventy-fve cents bushel for corn. which
would have been worth about fifteen cents
but for temporary shortage abroad. That
is Why the Southern farmers are ready to-
day to break away. The tariff to them is
no longer living issue. What they want
is money.
THE farmers are, in MY opinion, going
10 drop the Sub-Treasary scheme, which is
impracticable. and laying aside Govern
meut ownership OF railroads and telegTaphS,
will make the fight on the land loan issue.
WHO will tile Democrats nominate for
President? Not Cleveland; that you may
put down as certain. Mr.. Cleveland is Il
warm personal friend of mine, but l think
that his pronunciamento on the silver ques-
ton was so gTatuitous. in the face of the
fact that his party voted almost unani-
mously for free coinage, that the rank and
file will never forgive him. 1 should say
that the issue will depend upon the results
in Ohio and New York. If Campbell should
beat Mckinley the Democrats may take
him up; or if not, and Flower defeats Fas-
sett, Flower may be nominated. He is
strong with the Western Democrats be-
cause Of his vote for free coinage, and the
fact that he is worth some 100000 will
cause him to be regarded as safe man by
the business men Of New York.
1.-The Republicans will, | should say, and
l have been carefully over the ground. re-
nominate Mr.. Harrison. Blaine could have
it, but | do not regard him as in the race"

Hadn't a Blank with Him.

Somebody sprang that ancient chestnut,
''Sad the Governor of North Carolina to
the Governor of South Carolina" in one of
the hotels the other day, aud it prompted
DR.. Munford of the Kansas City Times TO
relnte an anecdote of Governor Crittenden.
1t was toward the close of that Executives
administration, and it was charged that the
Governor was granting a great many par
dons to men confined IN the Pententiary at
Jefferson City. In fact the opposing papers
made strong political capital out of 1t, ana
1t was in one of them that the joke first was
printed:
The Governor was riding in a Grand
avenue cabe-car to his home on Troost av-
enue. The car was crowded. A gentleman
got aboard at one of the cross-streets, and
worked his way to the front of the car. In
passing where Governor Crittenden sat he
accidentally trod on that gentleman's toe.
He Immediately turned toward the Cover
nor with Beg your pardon, SIR
The Governor looked up. absent-mind-
eddy. and then began fumbling in his inside
coat pocket. After II moment of apparently
fruitless search, he turned to the man and
said: 4 am sorry, sir, but haven't single
blank with me-

GAS ASPHYXIATION.

George heitzel round Almost Dead In
His Saloon
George Keitzel, who keeps a saloon at 543
Mission street. had a narrow escape from
death by coal-gas asphyxiation yesterday
morning. He lives with his family over the
saloon, but recently had trouble with his
wife and for several days had been trying to
drown his sorrow in whisky.
After entering his saloon on Tuesday
night he passed into back room, where he
was found yesterday lying upon lounge
and in an unconscious state. The place was
filled with gas that escaped from an open
jet. Many burned matches were found on
the carpet. wherefore it is supposed that he
failed to light the gas after turning it on,
and then went to sleep upon the lounge.
His bar-keeper found him lying there
upon opening the place Yesterday morning,
and caused his removal to the Receiving
Hospital. The probabilities were that he
would soon recover

loaded with stone oal.-
There will be no difficulty to con-
struct locks that will admit a barge OF
stone coal, but the trouble will be to
secur water to float the boats down
the bayou, after they have been ad-
mitted.
1t will be a herculean job to dredge
and maintain. depth of water suffi
cient for that purpose. As the differ
c between tide water at Donaldson
vile, and at the mouth of the bayou
in the gulf is only Is to "a inches, q
lock constructed near the cutoff some
s or 10 feet in height would hold a
depth Of water sufficient for the float
ing of fat boats loaded with coal
The bay on might be fed from swamps
in front of the Texas brulee in Assump-
ton, and from Lake Fields in Lafour-
che, which with the water that can be
admitted at DonaldsOnyille would
maintain a depth necessary for all
navigation nses. 1t would be an easy
matter TO maintain a permanent and
steady depth Of five to eight feet,
which would be ample for all naviga-
ton. Coal boats could not enter with
that depth but taking out half of the
load they could then enter.
