Mars Hill responded: Il, too, have

goddess of wisdom, Minerva, never

and Elast summer, but declined it both
times, stating that he could not accept it
while Goff was unprovided for; that the
latter should be recognized for the time
and money spent by him in endeayoring to
to promote the interests of the republican
party ia West Virginia. A few weeks ago
he was again rendered the position, coupled
with the assurance that Goff would get the
circuit jndgeship. He then went to call
upon Mr.. Blaine. "What effectn asked
Elkins, in the course Of their talk, "would

Absolutely none" Blaine replied "As
feel at present i shall not be a candidate
for nomination. However. if there should
come from the republican party an over
whelming expression demanding that ac-
cept the nomination, may feel constrained
to put aside my personal feelings and ac-

Harrison will be for me, and there will be
no lmproprlety in you being my friend

It seems that Reuter-, of Hamburg, the
uncle Of Weichers, one Of the partners in
the defunct firm, inherited $10s,OoO from
Weichers' estate. This was left in Weichers'
hands. Later he used it for speculation.
and reported to his uncle that inside Of
sixty days the money realized profit of
$80O,0cJ aside from interest. The uncle.
however, pressed Weichers for the money
and the latter on behalf Of the firm made
out one-day sight draft for$498, coo, marks

Field and Lindley had no balance. They
counted upon covering this draft bv q

being no funds, forgery was resorted to.

ner Miller, Of the Nicaragua Canal Com
pany, that George M. Pullman, within
forty-eight hours would become large
stockholder in that enterprise. Pullman
was warm personal friend Of General
Grant, who often talked with him Of the
projected canal. When it was on the
boards that General Grant would be presi-
dent Of that company and General George
Mcclellan, chief engineer Pullman stood
ready to back the enterprise largely. Gen
eral Alger, Of Michigan, was present when
Miller totd me Of Pullman's accession to
the company and Immediately it leaked
out that large syndicate Of gentlemen
with whom the general was associated in
heavy timber land Investments on the Pa
cific coast, was interested through its in
diyidual members iii the Nicaraugan
scheme. It is said with the canal open the
great forests Of the Pacific coast would
send lumber TO the Atlantic seaboard
