The Council Adjourned.

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 10:-The mayor
and city council of Kansas City, Ksns.,
barely escaped vengeance tonight at the
hands of q crowd of eight hundred tai
payers. The excitement arose e the
proposition of the city council to pur'
chase a plant of the Consolidated Elec'
trio light and Power Co., for $S40. 600.
There was much public indignation, il
being believed by many that improper
Inducements had been offered the mem.
bers of the council to pass the ordinance
authorizing the purchase.
The indignation eliminated tonight
when a mass meeting of taxpayers was
held to protest against the proposed
purchase. Several incorporate speeches
were made. Finally y committee OF
fifteen was appointed to call at the
council chamber aud protest before the
ordinance could he passed. The crowd
also Joined the committee. As the city
hall vas reached the excitement became
greater, until the anger Of the crowd
finally eliminated in shouts of "Lynch
them" Hang them" In the meaa
time the council had been informed Of
the approach Of the mob, and hastily
adjourned.

United by a String.

Nearly ayenr ago fisherman W. T.
Van Dyke, while pursuing his occu-
patton off shore invitingly threw out
a fishing line with two Well baitsd
hooks, writes the fishing reporter OF
The Long Branch News. Presently
there was a jerk-the bait had
"took." Van Dyke was hauling in
hand over hand, when suddenly tho
tension ceased and the line was
gracefully and adroitly whisked into
the boat minus both hooks. Lest
fall Mr.. Van Dyke, in emptying one
Of his pounds Of it's owe night
catch, discovered among his captives
d pig fish and n sea bass united
by a bit of fishing cord, which no
readily identified as his own.
a hook had penetrated the jaw OF
each fish, and becoming imbedded
there, the flesh had grown around
their barbsnnd thus securely fastened
them in position. Thus held together
for nearly a twelve month they had
coursed the briny in double team,
held by a single Irvine, till death cut
their thread of lite in twain. The
skeletons of this curious pair of acct
dental Siamese twin together withd
the hooks and Inns, which constitutes
their sole domestic tie, now adorn tho
walls of the fish house of MIR. Van

she Wants Him to Marry Her.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 9.-Elizabeth
Lee has filed a suit against Frank Les
lie Tor 1925, 600 for breach of promise.
She declares that she fell in love with
Leslie in 1889, anG became 80 infatuated
with him that when he seemed reluc-
tant to marry her, and gave rs his rea-
son that he desired children, and was
satisfied that she could become a
mother, she believed MIN. Her anxiety
induced her TO seek professional advice,
and as q result she not only gave him
assurances Of her probable ability, but
finally subjected herself to a test. She
so far succeeded as to now consider
Leslie bound to carry out his promise,
and as he still refuses, she is in a pitt
able condition and demands damages
for betrayal of confidence.

cd a respectful cough and removed
something that looked like a hat
from his head, "you will pardon mo
for asking if tho grateful odor that

cit is, sir" replied the large,
swarthy woman with the projecting
teeth placing her arms akimbo and
planting herself squarely in the door

tions to ask??"
"Not at all, madam" said the pill
grim as he backed out toward tho

Surplus Reserve Nearly Doubled.

Surplus Reserve Nearly Doubled.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 11.-Despite the
bearish temper prevalent among pro-
fessional traders, commission houses IRE
at last inolining to the bull side. APP
parently little account is taken of the
fact that at this time the flow of money
to the west usually begins in large vol
ume. though whether the movement
will reach that of last year remains to
be seen. 1t was just about u year ago
that the surplus reserveo of the associated
banks (then $50, 959, $500 began to melt
away before the western demand. Now,
however, the surplus is nearly 500. Oo0.-
900. Besides, conditions are different
from those of August, 1890. in that the
western banks had less money then than
they have now; hence the drain from
the east this year may prove compare
lively light.

Earthquakes in California.

YUMA. CAL, Aug. 9.-Reports con-
tinue to come in from tie earthquake
region at the head of the gulf of Cali
fornia. Two Cocopah Indians of the
tribe that live near there arrived here
yesterday. They tell a thrilling story.
Early Thursday morning hundreds of
mud volcanoes thirty miles off burst into
a violent eruption. The air grew denser
and many infants were sufocated. At
last q violent thunder storm cleared the
air, only to show the tidal waves ap-
preaching with frightful rapidity. The
waters arose, swallowing up their cattle.
them for their lives to the top of the
Mesas a hundred feet high above the
river. The earthquake shocks then be-
gan. The fourth threw every one
down, seriously injuring many. The
dust darkened the air and the rumble
Of the earthquakes, the sharp explosions
Of the volcano and the believing of the
cattle made an unbearable uproar, and
the frightened Indians broke and fled
wildly up the river. Two only sue.
ceeded in reaching here to tell the story.
The others dropped exhausted along the
road. Joseph Perese, a cattleman from
Lendo, and five men witnessed the
scene from the top of the hill to which
they had escaped. They report the
tidal wave as fully 100 feet high, and
the color of the blush purple fire which
was flowing down into the Colorado neal
the gull. This was undoubtedly from
the sulphur mountain which was set or
fire by the volume of burning mattel
thrown out by the volcanoes. Much
property was destroyed. The residence
and all the valuable buildings on the
ranch of Charles Townsend, breeder o.
fine cattle, were leveled by the earh
quake.

Poor Little Alphonso XIII.

often say that poor people must
be fonder of their children than the
wealthy are of theirs. There is such
a poignant interestina child who will
have to face a sea of trouble. Poor
little Alphonso XIII must be invest
ed in his mothers eyes with an inter-
est of that kind, being the postum
nous son Of a viveur of bad con
stitution, who, having used himself
up at the age OF 26, died Of gallop-
ingconsumption. ASpanish deputy
told me last October that the poor
little boy had no chance of a long
life and that it would be rather a
misfortune if he grew up. The ner-
vous system was so bad that the
doctors were afraid of having him
'bathed in the sea. A shock of any
kind might knock it to pieces. His
mother comes of the most epileptic
branch OF the imperial family ofAus-
tria.
Poor little Alphonso has, said the
deputy | quote, Aeshless little legs,
with bones no thicker than Il chick
ems. They bend under the weight
of an abnormally big head, which
points to hydrocephalus. Alto
gether the conformation of
the lutte monarch is thing rather
for an anatomical museum than to
bear the weighty trappings of regal
state. His mother is always in ear
shot Ofhim and the doctor handy to
her. A corSscrew staircommunicates
with his and her bedrooms. and
there is d speaking tube close to his
bed, SO that were anything the mat
ter with him the nurse could at once
tell her and the doctor. The king'stwo
sisters promise to be winsome, and
and have fairly good constitutions,
though their flesh is slow to- heal.
Mercedes, to whom 1 told you so
early as November Spaniards here
were beginning to make up as shown
in "homages" Of French toys, still
nurse dolls. They notice on the
sands of San Sebastian what a weak
ling the poor brother was, andjump-
ed to the conclusion that the crown
would soon drop down on the head
of his eldest sister. She and Theresa
are very pretty and CHEEKY. Mer-
cedes is very like the queen Of the Bel
gians, who was never either one or
the other. Her majesty is an aunt

) WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-John Haesch-
er of Freeport, MINI, after having been
awarded the contract for supplying Da-
kota Indian agencies with S. $4,000 worth
of horses and bulls, wrote a letter to the
commissioner of Indian affairs and
signed the word postmaster" after his
name. Thisannouncement that he held
a government office precluded him from
receiving the contract. which was imme-
diately withdrawn, and the commits
sioner today awarded the same contract
to W. B. Jordan of st. Paul.

The Formation of Coal.

1t takes "A prodigious amount of
vegetable matter to form a layer of
coal. it being estimated that the pres
ent growth of the world make n lay
er less than one-eight of an inch in
thickness and that it would take a
million years Of vegetable growth to
form a coal bed ten feet in thickness.
The United States has an area of
more than 44O, 600 square miles of
coal fields, and more than 10000
tons of coal were mined in this
country last year, enough to run a
ring around the earth at the center

and one-half feet thick. Competent
scientists say that there lis enough
coal in the United States to supply

He Was Not Guilty.

SPR1HaF1E1D, ILL.,, Aug. 9.-Several
years ago Levi Gains, . colored man
living at Robinson, ILL.,, got a pension,
and afterward applied for an increase,
his claim being based on the loss of an
eye. as alleged, during his service in the
army. In 1889 he was arrested on the
charge of obtaining q pension fraudu.
lently, and was convicted and sent to
the ~penitentiary. After serving his
term out he again applied for an in
orease on the same ground as
before. he was again arrested
by the United States authori-
ties and his case was brought
before the grand jury here. The gov
eminent, to make out a stronger case
against him than before, sent for the
captain and assistant surgeon of the
mans regiment, Peter r. House Of
Avooa. N. Y. The testimony of Gap.
tain House was not what the govern
ment expected. Aforementioned Gains
very we'll, and remembered the circum-
stances under (which he lost his eye.
This settled the matter, and Gains was
released. Now President Harrison has
granted Gains q pardon and restoration
to citizenship, and it was forwarded to
him today. Gains thus served q term
in the p~enitentiary unjustly, but he will
likely get his pension renewed with an
Increase.

IT is a fact well-known to the devotees of the rod and line that the number of fish in Salt river has greatly diminished in the last ten years. Those caught are but aIl inlconsiderable amount. Most of the destruction comes from the fish en- tering the canal heads and being carried upon the Irrigated lands. The fields of the Salt River valley have fairly been fertilised with fish. The proper place for fish ia either in the river or in the frying pm and with this in view the Legislature of California has lately passed a law requiring all canal compan- ies tc screen their ditches at the head gates, Such an act should be passed in Arizona. to aid the Fish Commission in it's efforts to, stock the waters of the Territory with the fnny tribe.
