An Awful Possibility.

Ex-senator Spooner's fondness for
dogs is well known and affords his
friends material for occasional chatting.
A group of Wisconsin men were dis
cussing the possibility of his going into
the cabinet. Among them were ex-
Speaker Tom Mills and Congressman
Van Schaick.
John would make good secretary
Of the treasury" said Mills.
"That he would" echoed four or five
voices in concert.
Van SchaiclS shook his head omin-
ously. "T don't know about that" said
he. 81 very much doubt it. There is
one strong objection to John Spooner
as a secretary of the treasury and that
alone will beat him"
whats that?" demanded everybody
In surprise.
"Well," said Van Schaicl< in drawl
with half shut eyes, "he'd spend the
surplus on dogs. Milwaukee Sentinel

way and shook hands. The ludicrous
contemplation of duel with baseball

At this juncture there was q rustic of
satin near the hotel elevator, and the
major arose in response to signal from

And drum and ffe the halt proclaimed.
Closed up our struggling ranks, and walked
Keen thoughts OF camp and food and rest

And comrades spoke through parched lipR
Below us, far the river cleaned;
No hint OF brook, or pool or spring
Assunged the fover in our veins,
We climbed at length the wooded crest;
Filed right and left, in ordered lines,
And stacked our arms; then silent stood.
'BrealS ranksw fell not upon our ears
But, through the dusk and silent gloom,
Across our front then face to face
Close passed q host OF unarmrd men
Unslung their canteens-bade us drink"

WAITS FOR OLD WARRIORS.

SAMUEL E. JAMES, of Kittaning, Pa,
a veteran of the Two Hundred and
Sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers, is the
possessor of the key to the main door
of old Libby prison at Richmond.
AN old soldier, j. H. Douglas, who
had passed unharmed through the per-
lis of the battlefelds of the war, was
killed in his own shooting gallery in
Louisville, Ky, recently, by young
colored woman.

A GOOD story is told on one of the
judges of the New Jersey courts, who
persisteptly questioned u prisoner, a
veteran of the late war, who was
brought before him for sentence, as to
whether he had ever been in prison.
After long time his honor evoked an
affirmative answer. When pressed fur
ther as to the date and cause of his in
carceration the old soldier replied, with
some warmth: "'Twas at Anderson.

OUINLAN'S NEMESIS.
Clara Luster Relates the Story of
Her Wrongs.

Miss Clara Luster was on trial in Judge
Lawler's department yesterday on the
charge of assault with intent to commit
murder. She met Martin j. Quinlan, an
attorney, on the corner of Market and Third
streets, few weeks ago, and tried to shoot
him. but her craftsmanship was bad.
The only witnesses for the pros ecution
were Quinlan himself, Policeman James
O'Connor, who made the arrest, and George
w. Lake, bystander, all of whom te.-
tilted very briefly. The simple facts of the
shooting were all they were permitted to
tell.
When Miss Luster was put on the stand
in her own behalf, however, the facts that
inspired the act were dragged out in all
their hdeous nakedness. Miss Luster is
Polish woman, and apparently unlessoned
in the wiles of wicked city, She met
Qunlan at the old City Hall while attend
ing to some legal matters, and he pressed
the acquaintance. subsequently proposing
marriage and making certain oyertures.
Finally, under promise OF marriage he
wroDged her. She was not long in discover
ing that her shame must soon be known to
the world. Her only recourse was the mar
riage promised. Again and again she
pleaded with him TO keep that promise.
His only response was to drag her into his
UluCt duu az
meeting he attempted to pacify her plead
ing by advising her, when the time came, to
charge her shame to an eX-Judge or man
named Brannan.
Still she pleaded with him to keep his
promise and save her. if not for her own
sake at least for his child. Again he turned
her away, the language he used being wholly
unfit for publication. Finally, and almost
distracted at her condition aud the infamous
wrong dcne her. an uncomfortable murder
Gus spirit sprang up in her heart against
Quinldn.
She armed herself with pistol and went
in search Of him, really insenslble to her
wicked errand. She met him as before men
toned, but she was so frenZed that she had
no definite recollection of what transpired.
The trial will probably conclude to-day.

A Sacramento Chinaman With High
Financial Forehead.
Quong Sing, Chinaman who kept little
store on the west side of Third street, be-
tween / and j, says the Sacramento Bee,
has left for China leaving his numerous
creditors in the lurch. He was a merchant
in small way, but his principal business
was that of an employment agent, and he
made contracts for providing labor for max
ing bricks, picking hops, etc. He is said to
have had great aversion to paying his
debts, and to have had great penchant for
borrowing money. In any event it seems
that he few weeks ago decided on grand
cleanup He fist sent his woman to China,
and then began to borrow money right and
left from anybody who would lend. He in
vented all sorts of stories in his efforts TO
raise the financial wind, and worked Cau-
casian and Mougolian alike. After going
thoroughly over the field he took steamer
for China. 1t is believed that he took
thousands of dollars with him. His place
of business here was attached by Chinese
firm of San Francisco, to whom it was said
that Quong Sing was indebted $4,000. The
entire stock and fixtures of the store are
probably not worth over $500.
Quong Sing is now on his way to China,
ana will doubtless spend the remainder of
his daVs thare.

The Southern Pacific Will Fight
the Oregon Commission.

The Southern Pacific Company has given
notice that it will not obey the Oregon Rail-
way Commission in the matter OF reducing
freight rates on the Oregon and California.
The matter will be taken to the State
courts and there decided For diSobeylns
the recent order of the Commissioners the
company gives two reasons. In the hrSt
place the rates now in effect were fixed by
the so-called Hoult act in 1885, and this
act, the company claims, Is In effect maxi
mum rate law. Secondly, the line has
never paid fair rate of interest on the In
yestment. Traffic Manager Gray said, In
speaking of this matter yesterday, that the
operation of last year would not even pay
interest on the bonds. If we obey the
order of the commission the loss Tor 1871
will approximate S25O.000, and we conse-
quently shall demur, and make Oh tnis
