BE CLAIMS TO HAVE LOST EEAvI-
LY IN GAMBLING.

. The Dempsey FitzsimmOns Fight SAID
to Have Cost Elm 12,oOo-Lerge
| Sums Also Lost on the Races and
| Games in the North-He Claims to
Have Turned Over All of HIS Assets
ATLANTA, GA, July lO.-The court house
was crowded today when the Ryan case
came up. The question was How can he
account for the $500, 600 deficit in llis bust
ness accountsr Mr.. Ryan's answer was
read and it was decidedly interesting. He
acknowledged having led a very fast
life He particularized. He had lost
$50, 900 at Days and at Reds New York
gambling He had lost heavily at various
times in betting, for examp 10
he lost $4,000 on the Dempsey
Fitzsmmons mill in New Orleans. Then
he had spent money like water in theater
parties. dinners and the like. His bills for
advertising, insurance and the incidental
expenses of bis business were enormous.
He estimated that he had lost on the sale Of
goods not less than $50, 900, and that he paid
out 1000 to eastern buyers in commits
si0ns alone.
POOLING THE BANKS.
the 1892, 900 said to have been checked out
Of the banks here He would make q de-
post in one bank and then give another
bank a check for that amount, or would
draw out OF one bank and deposit in another,
This "kiting" made bis bank accounts ep-
pear two or three times as large as they
really were. He declares that the general
estimate OF his daily cash receipts is exag-
gersted- He said that his sales averaged
uh ia
sales for the last two days amounted
only to about "a 500. Finally he answered
that the rain IN the spring caused his fail
ure, and he denied that he had converted
any real estate into quick assets. Col. n. J.
Hammond, representing creditors, de-
INJURED to the answer. He referred to the
fact that Ryan in telling how he had taken
money from one bank and put 1t in another
had failed to state where the money is now.
HIS ANSWER TOO GENERAL.
Col Hammond declared that Mr.. Ryan's
answer about gambling, losses and the like
were too vague and too general, that
he should be made to give an
itemized statement, showing who
how much of It, He should also be made
to tell when and where these parties and
dinners were given and how much they
cost. Judge Gober decided in favor of the
creditors; that Mr.. Ryan must amend his
answer by giving the facts about his
banking business, bearing the dates and
amounts deposited and checked out, and he
must also tell to whom his gambling losses
we're paid and when Mr.. Ryan's attorneys
wanted two weeks time to amend their an
swer. declaring that they would have to
visit every gambling saloon in New York
and every race course in the north and
west, Judge Gober refused this and set the
case for hearing tomorrow morning at

THE DYING HUANACO.
An Animal Which, on Deaths Ap.
proach, Seeks It's Grave.

An Animal Which, on Deaths Ap.
proach, Seeks Its Grave,
From Longmdn's Magazine.
1t is well known that at the southern ex-
trenity Of Patagonia the huauacos have a
dying place-a spot to which all the indi-
viduals inhabiting the surrounding plains
repair at the approach of death to deposit
their bones.
Darwin and Fitzroy first recorded this
strange instinct in their personal narratives,
and their obser vations have since been fully
confirmed by others.
The best known of these dying or burial
places is on the banks of the Santa Cruz
and Gallegos rivers, where the river valleys
are covered with dense primeval thickets
Of bushes and trees of stunted growth.
There the ground is covered with bones OF
countless dead generations.
The animals" says Darwin, sin most
cases must have crawled, before dying, be-
meath and among the bushes"
A strange instinct il e creature SO pre-
emirently social in its habits, dweller all
his life long on the open, barren plateaus
and mountain sides

wilderness of dwarf thorn trees, aged and
grotesque and scanty-ieaved. nourished for
thousand years on the bones that whiten

rior lit family With the rays of the depart
ing sun, chill and gray. aud silent and
motionlsss-the huanacos' Golgotha.
In the long centuries stretching back into
dim Unreasonable past, so many Of this
race have journeyed hither from the mount
ain and the plain to suffer the sharp pane
Of death, that, to the imagination, some
thing of it all seems to have passed into that
nushed and mournful nature. And now,
once more, the latest pilgrim has come, all
his little strength spent in his struggles to
penetrate the close thicket, looking old and
gaunt and ghostly in the twilight; with
long, ragged hair: staring into the gloom
out of death-dimmed. sunken eyes.
One artist we have who might show it to
us on canvas, who would be able to catch
the feeling Of such a scene-of that mvsteri-
Gus, passionless tragedy of nature-the
painter, 1 mean, of 1.-The Prodigal" and
The lioness Defending Her Cubs"
To his account of the animals dying place
and instinct Darwin adds:
II do not at all understand the reason of
this, but l may observe that the wounded
huanacos at the Santa Cruz invariably
walked toward the river"

INDIAN MEASUREMENTS
How Distances are Computed by the
Red Men of the v est.
from the YOUTHS Companion.

IbCd nOu III inc VI 6SC.
From the Youths Companion.
Savage people are content with units of
measure, which, though indefinite, answer
the purpose of men who have no use for
exact knowledge, but who do want to know
what comes within the scope of lheir vision
or of their ability to travel on foot or on
horseback. Their ideas of distance will
conform to the way iG which that distance
is to be covered
We know how natural it is for us to
speak OF places as being so many days
journey away, and in crossing the ocean a
place was 80 many weeks sail distant until
recent times. In the east distances are
reckoned by the hour. an hour being about
three miles. 1t is not at ell strange, then,
to find the Indians reckoning In similar
manner.
1t is said that the Indian and half-breed
canoe men compute distances on the water
by pipes. One pipe Is the distance they can
paddle in the interval between the haltings
they are allowed to make 10 order to have
smoke. Permission for this halt is given
by the person in charge at intervals which
vary according to circumstances. If the
guide is indulgent he makes the pauses
frequent if the travellers are in hurry or
the weather IS threa tening, fewer stops are
made. A pipe" is, therefore, wholly in
determinate.
A portage is measured by a different
standard. If the distance which the goods
have to be carried exceeds half mile in
length it is generally broken by one or more
pauses, which are ordered by the person in
command of the expedition, just as the halt
is called for a smoke. The distance travelled
between these stops for resting is called
pause. The distance will vary according to
the greater or less difficulty of the portage
and its length. A ''pause" is understood to
mean about one-third of mile.
The Menomouee Indians of Wisconsin
have the usage Of dividing long distances
into looks. A ''look" is the distance be-
tween the person and the farthest object he
can see in the direction he is going. The
first look is taken from the point where his
journey begins When be had reached the
object first selected, he, from that point,
selects the object TO which his second
look is taken, and so on. It's needless
to point out the circumstances that may
make this unit of measure uncertain.

Rome, A. E. Fortune was elected principal

Tnis morning a respected colored
citizen approached the members Of the

Fortune if he came back. He presented a
letter in Fortunes handwriting and signed

The letter develops a horrible state of

school, Fortune had been guilty CT frequent
immoral practices with his pupils. The
board will revoke their action if the letter
is genuine. The colored people are red hot

SLEPT SIX DAYS.
A Pennsylvania Young Lady Lying in
Protracted Cataleptic Fit.

a Protracted Cataleptic Fit.
LINEsvILLE, July 5.-Several days ago
Miss Cora Irons Of this city went to Con-
neaut lake for an extended visit. She was
very we'll and in good spirits, but tonight
news comes from that place that she has
been lying in a cataleptlc state for six days
and all efforts 10 awaken her are in vain.
Thursday evening, June 30, the young
lady started to her room to dress, and not
returning her friends became alarmed and
went after her. She was found lying
peacefully on the bed with her eyes wide
open, but evidently in deep sleep. The
young lady's eyes soon closed, and she has
ever since been in deep sleep. Her pulse
and temperature are normal, and it is said
by her physicians that she probably hears
every word spoken by her anxious friends.
1t is said the young lady had a similar visit
alton several years ago and came around all
right after the peculiar influences that
brought about her condition had been re-
moved.
