few weeks afterwards. While the
stroke came to Sir John with less of dra
matte effect, it nevertheless came while he
was fulfilling his duties, for he was work
ing and discussing affairs up to the mo-
ment that the blow fell. Only the day
before the last attack Sir John Thompson
demonstrated with him and asked him to
give up his arduous duties and take the
portfolio of president of the council which
was vacant. The premier replied: "rll
net you know tomorrow what l will do
When that tomorrow came the premier
was in the midst of struggle with the
grim reaper.
Kind Words from Opponents.
The cabinet ministers are reluctantto be
interviewed on the subject of the premier's
death. They are grief-stricken at the loss
OF their beloved chieftain Nowhere is
this grief more real than among the
members of the opposition. The noble
quantities of the man with whom they have
been struggling for years for the mastery,
and the loss which the country has sus-
tanned, is fully appreciated No one has
anything but the kindliest of words for
the dead statesman. greatest admiration
for his abilities, and the deepest regret at
his death
The Political Future.
Already there Is much discussion as to
the future. The general opinion is that
parliament will be adjourned for several
weeks while the new ministry goes to the
country for reelection.
Sir John Thompson is the most probable
successor to the dead premier. There are
other names mentioned, but the general
belief Is that Lord Stanley will intrust Sir
John Thompson with the formation OF a
new cabinet.

Stuck on the Wild Man.

A short time ago some local imitators of
the great Barnum announced that genu-
Inc wild man had been captured, and the
credulous public was informed that this
greatest curiosity the world had ever
known could be seen in room near the old
postoff1ce for the small sum OF 10 cents.
The curiosity was doomed in great shape,
and Tor several days past the dimes have
poured into the pockets Of the enterprising
managers. Many who visited the place
were satisfied at glance that the whole
thing was g fake The alleged wild man
was kept in frall kind of cage, which any
healthy rooster would have knocked into
smlthereens in about two minutes. The
attraction, however, was properly mana
cleo, and he had a proper amount of hair,
Whlskers and eyebrows. Sheriff Burt
dropped into the place yesterday, and he
was at once fascinated by the Wildman's
immense eyebrows, and the longer he
looked at them the stronger because his

satlon no longer. The sheriff afterward
sWOre out complaint before Commissioner
Norrell, charging the whole outfit with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Deputy Marshal Bynon at once descended
on the Wild Mans abode and arrested
Messrs. McGill, Branch, Mehan and Thomp-
son. The Wild Man wanted time to ar
range his toilet before being taken into
court but Byron wouldn't allow this, and
the curiosity was marched up Main street
Looking very much like rooster that had
lost half his feathers in fight The spec
tacie was witnessed with unspeakable
dellght by the street gamins and passers-
by and there wasn't man to be found who
hadn't said from the first that it was all
fake.
When the party assembled in Commits
sloner Norrell's room, the court suggested
the propriety of the wild mans taking a
bath. The latter entered a demurrer to
this on the ground that it was unconstitu-
tional, but the court overruled it on the
ground that it came under the public health
act. and the curiosity was forced to take
the bath. When he reappeared his tangled
name, six men eyebrows and trailing beard
had all vanished and he was found to be a

SAID HE STOLE HORSES.
The Pretty Pickle Loving Couple is In, al
on Account of Horse flesh.

Mrs. Rickie, German lady who keeps a
lodging house on State street, yesterday
swore out complaint before Commissioner
Greenman, charging her husband with
stealing pair of horses belonging to her.
Deputy Sheriff Lacon arrested Rickie and
found that the horses were in the posses
sion of Isaiah Jackson. He made demand
for the animals, but Jackson refused TO
give them up and showed fight until the
officer drew his gun. The latter then took
possession of the horses and also arrested
jackson for resisting. When the matter
came up before Commissioner Greenman.
Mrs. Rickie stated that as she had re.
covered her horses she was willing to dis
miss the case and Rickie was discharged
MIR. Lacon also Withdrew the charge
against jackson upon the payment of the
costs, amounting to S13, by the defendant,
and the whole affair was amicably settled.
Mr. Rickie says that his wife simply
robbed him of the horses as he bought them
and simply let her keep them According
TO his statement she has made him lot of
trouble, and before leaving the court room
he stated that if he had pistol he would
end his troubles before nightfall.
