FOUND A OY0LoPs SKULL,
A Unique Discovery on Joe Jefrerson's
Summer Place.

A Unique Discovery on Joe Jefrerson's
Summer Place.
BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, July T.
Joseph jefferson, the actor, has made
an astonishing find on the summer
place which he has purchased here
near that of President Cleveland. In
laying out the ground and making alter
ations it became necessary to remove
sand hill of large size. The workmen
while doing this found the skeleton OF
a man that filled them with astonish-
ment from its great size. When an
attempt was made to lift up the Skele-
ton 1t crumbled away, all except the
skull. A workman laid down beside OF
it, however, and it was estimated that
il must have belonged TO a man at least
6 feet or inches in height. The
most peculiar thing was brought to
light, however, when the skull
was taken to Mr.. Jefferson
AMI examined. 1t was like
ordinary skulls, only larger, except
that it had, so far as could be seen, no
place where the eyes had been. There
was one hole in the centre Of the fore
head that might have once served for
one eye. This led Mr.. jefferson to be-
leve that he had, perhaps, discovered
the skeleton of cyclopS. Mr.. Booth,
who was paying Mr.. jefferson visit,
said, when he saw the wonderful skull,
that he and his brother actor had
chance at hand to play "Hamlet" with
q skull such as it had never been played
with before. All the scientific gentle
men in the neighbOrhood have been as
unable to give an explanation of the
skull as were Mr.. Jefferson and Mr..
Booth. Mr.. Jefferson will no doubt be
glad TO receive suggestions from men of
science that may throw light on the |
matter.

MEN ABOUT TOWN.
Short Stories Gathered From
the Hotel Corridors.
Munford's Meeting With Corrigan = Inter
viewing a Governor Secretary Noble
Acknowledged the Corn.

Two gentlemen from the same city and
both equally we'll known throughout the
country, occupied the same seat at different
times in the Palace Hotel dining-room re-
Gently. They were Ed Corrigan. the race
horse man, and DR.. Morrison Munford, the
editor of the Times, both of Kansas City.
The curious part of the coincidence is that
had either known that the other had occu-
pied that seat he would almost as soon have
taken a dose of poison as sat there. The
men are bitter enemies. A few years ago q
reporter named Mosier, employed on the
Times, had occasion to criticize certain
racing tactics of Corrigan, and the day Of
the publication of the article the journalist
and the hOrseman met. Mosier was puny,
sicky sort of man, while COrTlgan Is a
big. Swapping fellow, standing feet 2, and
with Drawn to match. The meeting &C.
CURED in saloon on Main street ana when
the smoke of battle had cleared away
Mosier lay amid the wrecked debris Of
the Dar-room, his jaw broken, both
eyes backened and two ribs fractured. He
was removed to the City Hospital i'll an I'M
conscious condition, and it was several
weeks before he recovered.
When DR.. MunfOrd learned of this assault
on one of his men he Immediately buckled
on huge 44-caliber revolver and sailed
forth in search of the horseman, vowing
vengeance. IheY met in Inc seiI-same
saloon where the reporter had Jared so
badly. The doughty doctor, his tall frame
quivering with Indignation, and the big re-
yolver i'll his hand, tore into the saloon like
a Kansas cyclone. Corrigan WAS standing
at the bar. a cocktail poised to his lips.
when he saw the reflection of the editor in
tue mirror back of the bar. Quick as a
flash he turned. and before the astonished
doctor could cock and level his weapon it
had been wrested from his hand and was
being furiously belabored about his head
The proprietor of tie paper would no doubt
have Jared as lily as his employe, had not

Frank Hunter Experiences Rare
Drunken Luck.

Frank Hunter may count himself lucky
individual. though his was the kind known
as the drunken mans luck" For week
past he has been intoxicated and part of
the time has been safely locked in his room
in a Howard-street lodging house, near
Tenth. Early Sunday morning he awoke
with ravishng thirst for something to
drink. To get liquor he had to get to the
ground. and by the door it was impossible
He attached one piece of his bed-clothing to
leg of his bed, and to a corner of it at
tached another piece, he then lowered him
self out the window and dropped hand over
hand to the end of his improvised rope
then he dropped to the ground, three stories
below him.
That he lived over the shock was due to
his drunken luck. He picked himself up
slightly bruised, but the racket had attracted
the police. and he had to be taken to the
City and County Hospital, where he was
retained to see whether some internal in
jury might show itself later in the
day. Last night he was as chirp as a swal-
low. and longing for the scenes of Bacchus
festivities.

InteryiewIng a Governor.

great deal has been written about the
accessibility to newspaper men Of ex-Gover-
nor Foraker of Ohio, and the ease with
which an interview could be obtained from
him. The experience Of reporter of this
city, formerly with the Cincinnati Enquirer,
does not bear out this statement 1t may
have been because the Ex-Governor was
reused of sound sleep, or because 1t was
an exceedingly cold night and he was chilled
by being summoned from warm bed, but
at any rate he was most crusty subject Tor
a newspaper man to tackle.
Ii was in the spring, Just preceding the
election in Ohio, which defeated Foraker for
third tenn and elected Campbell. Foraker
was in Room 81 OF the Gibson House on
Walnut street. A very important political
message had been received at the Enquirer
office from Columbus, and reporter was
detailed to interview the Governor at the
hotel. 1t was 2 o'clock in the morning when
the newspaper man raped at the door OF
81. 1t required a second and a third re-
peated rap. and a loud one at that, to arouse
the Executive.
"Who's that?" came in a gruff voice from
within.
"a reporter for the Enquirer"
What i'll the deuce do you want?" came
next.
The reporter stated his errand, thinking
that the nature Of the news would please
the Governor.
There was sound of stockinged feet
hurriedly patteriDg across tie caIpeted
floor. The key was turned and tile door
opened an inch. and through the aperture a
very TROUBLED head and a sladowy form in

Two carewOrn singles was all that the
locals could find in right smart game at
Emeryyille yesterday morning. TIE full
nine innings were played, but not Frisco
man got within hailing distance of the plate,
much to their sorrow, and the Senators won
by score Of 3 0.
All these runs were earned, and in view
of the fact that they whacked Harvey Blau-
welt for fourteen hits including two doubles,
it is surprising that trey didn't get more
But the locals played a magnificent fielding
game, not an error marrtng the perfect play.
The Senators erred in four places but three
of these we're soitened by extenuatiug cir
cumstances. 1t was one of the few games
played on strictly base ball principles.
Sharp and Smith were the authors of the
locals only hits. The former got his in the
first inning and Smith connected in the
fourth. But one man got his base on balls
on each side, and the pitchers each struck
out four batsmen.
The Senators scored their first runs in the
second. Reynolds got away on scratch
hit, McHalc touched IF tW o-bagger, and
both scored on Roberts single. The latter
got home on Hotfman's sacrifice and Good
ennugh's single.
In the eighth Has5amer reached second
on line drive to center and McGuirk's sac
riice. Spies helped him to the next bag
and hit to left by Reiz brought him home.

he said, "haye been mostly cleared away,
the reason being that good deal of squat

consider that in the days of the Spanish oc-
