Wonderful Sight Witnessed on Pixies
Peak

In paper describing perilous ascent
OF Pixies Peak, Lieutenant John p. Fin
ley, United States Signal Service, says
that the ascent was made in April, when
the snow was the deepest Of all months
Of the year, and the Lieutenant was &C.
companied by the sergeant Of. the sta
tion.c The ascent was accomplished on
mule back until zone Of deepsnow was
reached. and then the animals were
taken back to the halfway house below.
Into this snow they sometimes sank to
their armpits and saved themselves
from plunging deeper by spreading out
their arms. At one time they crossed
frozen crust in the shape Of q
turtles back, where a foothold had to
be cut at every step, and where mis-
step would have sent them thousands of
feet down the mountain. Electric
storms sometimes were witnessed there,
when each snowflake charged with cleo
tricity discharged spark as it touched
mules back in its fall. Electric sparks
streamed from the finger tips of up
raised hands. In their ascent they en-
countered storm OF sleet that cut their
faces so as to draw blood. The last five
miles was fight for life against wind,
sleet, cold and rarified air.

A MYSTERIOUS CASE.
A CHICAGO WOMAN BEGINS AND ENDS
ASHORT ABSENCE BY PAINTING.

She Had Been Specializing on the Board
of Trade and Was Deeply in Debt-Her
Husband Knew Nothing of Her Where
abouts-she Wouldn't Explain.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-THE disappearance of
Mrs. Bernhardt, wife of the well-known
oculist, was made known this morning,
and it created quite sensation. Mrs
Bernhardt is a handsome woman, who,
before she married her present hus-
band, was the widow of DR.. Rawson. She
has been speculating on the Board of
Trade, it is claimed, and when she dis
appeared it was feared her heavy losses had
something to do with her going away. A
number of her checks had been cashed by
merchants who knew her, and it was init
mated she had no money in the bank to
redeem them.
After having been absent for more than
two days Mrs Bernhard appeared in Law
yer Samuel w. Jackson's office this morn
ing in state of intense excitement. After
explaining where she had been for the last
few days she produced the checks sh. i. had
redeemed, and then with cry of pain fell
upon the floor in dead faint.
Last Tuesday morning Mrs. Bernhardt
was in Lawyer Jackson's office, and after
herself i'll, and before physician could be
summoned had tainted away. and from that
time until this morning all trace of her had
been lost. The following day a number of
bills representing large purchases came
pouring in, but Mrs. Bernhardt could not
be found to explain them.
The story she told to-day was to the eff
feet that she had been spending the last few
days with Mrs. Rogers, an intimate friend
of herS, and was unable to let anyone know
where she was on account ofh illness.
''What did you do with the money you
obtained upon the checks?" queried Law
yer Jackson.
81 had all of the money with me when 1
was here, and intended to place it to my
account in the bank, but when L was unable
to stand any longer 1 forgot all about it,
''What have you done with the money!"
"I redeemed all of my outstanding checks
this morning, which was the first time was
able to be down town"
''Why did you come downtown before
you informed your husband that you were
still alive?"
''I had no idea he was ignorant of nv
whereabouts or 1 should have let him know
all about it at once
f'Mrs. Bernhard, it is rumored that you
have obtained considerable money that does
not belong to you?"
The oculist's wife jumped to her feet and
began an indignant denial of the story,
when suddenly she gasped for air and fell
forward on her face in a faint. The usual
restoratives failed to have any effect and a
physician was sent for. 1t was some time
before Mrs. Bernhardt recovered, ard when
she did she fatty refused to say anything
more about her case.

The retirement of Carl Schurz from the
Presidency of the Hamburg
Packet Company has occasioned a great deal
of speculation as to the cause. 1t also
directs public attention to a picturesque
citizen of the metropolis, who for some
years has been conspicuous by his absence
from politics and affairs. Every now and
then Mr. Schurz bobs up suddenly, and us
ually when least expected. He is to be
seen almost any morning on Broadway, and
bet might safely be made that more pic
turesque figure could not be found in days
walk. Mr.. Schurz dresses usually in black
broadcloth, and wears the oddest-lOoking
high hat to be found this side of Senator
Evarts' home in Washington. He seems to
wear spectacles for the purpose of looking
under them.
Mr.. Schurz's walk is one of the funniest
things on Broadway. 1t is peculiarly mug
wumpish, and, it is reported, has been ac-
cepted by the coterie of New York Mug
wumps as the proper style of locomotion
for men who are too good for political par
ties. Music is his fad. Mr.. Schurz attends
all the operatic first nights, and just adores
the Wagner method of getting harmony
out of discOrd. He was thought to be very
wealthy, deriving large income from his
interests in the company of which he was
President; but his retirement, which was
owing, it is said, to his inability to remain
longer in power, rather looks as if there
were others in the company with more
power than Mr.. Schurz

at the Seventh Avenue Hotel. He leaves
this evening with the Hyde Speciality Com
pany, with whom he is now engaged, for

turn with that company for week

Monday evening. McAuliffa Is IN eS-

Jack SAYS that he has not vet received the
stake of 50, 900 held by Richard h. Fox on the
fight with Austin Gibbons at HOboken, n. D.,
in which the referee, Jerry Dunn, declared
him the winner
"why don't the stakeholder turn the
money over to you?" was asked.

accept anything short of all the money
staked on the fight And will not fight
Gibbohs again unless this is satisfactorily
settled. 1t is an honor debt and a man who
will sqUeal once will do it again" In further
conversation Mr.. McAuliffe said that
Mr. Fox would undoubtedly pay the
money over, even if he had to
pay it out of his own, pocket, as
by making himself party to transaction
of this kind he would lose more in reputa-
tion tnan it would come to. He says that he
has no fights in prospect and that he is not
looking for any. Concerning the report
published in Philadelphia to the effect that
Gibbons had offered to get in a carriage and
20 out and fight without witnesses, Jack
said that he had not denied it because he
did not consider it worth n denial.
McAuliffe is one of the most modest of
prize fighters. and in appearance would pass
for theological student. He is fairly weli
educated and fights for money and not from
taste or natural inclination.

EGGS WITH MONEY IN THEM.
The Remarkable Hen OF New Hampshire
That Rivals the Fabled Goose.

1haG Rivals the EaDleO Goose.
Harper's Young Peope.1
We have all been delighted more or less
with the beautiful story of the goose that
laid the golden eggs, but fancy very few
of us have really believed that such goose
ever lived. But with hen, which is really
bird of considerable quiet wisdom, matters
are different, and we are therefore not sur
prised at the story which has lately come to
us from Portland, n. II. This story is q
true one, and is about wonderful hen that
laid an egg one morning in which was found
a 1-cent piece. The following week she
laid an egg containing 10-cent piece, and
then the story stops.
The future career of this particular
chicken will be watched with considerable
interest, for if she continues as she has
started, multiplying the value of her eggs
every week by ten, it will not be long be-
fore she will lay the foundation of princely
fortune 1 have tried to find out upon
what food this Caesar among hens doth feed,
that she hath grown so great, but the owner
of the fowl is very reticent. and refuses to
give me any information other than that L
have given you. 1 suspect, however, that
the creature has indulged in an occasional
bit of mint, which grows wild in many
quarters of New Hampshire. Whatever
the food is, and however much it may cost,
the hen certainly deserves all she wants
of if

A SABBATH MORNING FIGHT.

Championship of the Northwess.
CHICAGO, Oct. 1l-Eighk cars filled with
Sabbath breakers made journey on the
Wisconsin Central road to a convenient spot
and there indulged in a prize fight this
morning. The contest was managed by
Louis Houseman, and the principals to the
affair were Pa killen, of st. Paul, and Bob
Ferguson of CHICAGO, the former weighing
1876 and the latter 1873 pounds. Both men were
in the pink of condition and fought for their
lives while it lasted. The stakes were
driven on the turf and the ropes stretched
rules governed and the gloves used were
frail affairs. Time was called about o'clock
and the men proceeded to do battle.
kilIen. after sparring about Two minutes,
landed heavily on Ferguson's short ribs; the
latter returned tho compliment with q
terrific punch on Killen's nose, and thus the
fighting continued until the end of the sixth
round, when Killen with several upper cuts
and straight right handlers finished his man.
The feature of the fight was the continuous
fouling by killen, who seemed determined
to do his man by fair means or foul, his tao
tics being butting, choking and elbow work.
Ferguson seeing what his opponent WIS up
to, commenced to deliver severe body blows
men persisted in this unfair work the referee
characterized as a slugging match, with

son the hardest hitter. Kulen wins the

Foster is next for promotion to the State
Department. There is good reason given
for this action. Mr.. Miller, it now seems
certain, will go out of the Cabinet and take
a judgeship when the new appointments are
made Then Indiana will be without a
Cabinet officer.
The reasons which indicate Mr.. Fosters
appointment are equally cogent II new

would take him six months to ''get the run"
of things, whereas Mr.. Foster, having really
done about all that has been accomplished
since Mr.. Blaine left, could take up the
work where it now is and carry it to speedy
and successful conclusion. 1t is known
that to Mr.. Foster we owe the Spanish

THEY SOLD NO SECRET.
FRENCH OFFICERS GAVE AWAY SOME
THING THEY DIDN'T OWN.

The French Explosive Melinite Nothing
but Emmensite Under Another Name
DIR. Emmens Gave Specimens of 1t to
France-A Great Stir Ovog Nothing
WASHINGTON, Oct. Ill Special. Some
months ago great stir was raised in the
French War Office and in the House of
Deputies by the announcement that the
secret of melinite, the high explosive used
in the French army and navy, had been sold
to Sir William G. Armstrong & Co., the
English makers of ordnance material. In
vestigatio1 and trials followed and Mr..
Turpin, the inventor of melinite; Captain
Treponi and other War Office officials were
sentenced to pay heavy fines and be impris-
oncd from three to five years.
American ordnance officers are inclined to
think that the French unduly magnified
the gravity of their offense, inasmuch as it is
now known by persons in this country that
melinite is practically the same as emmens-
lite, the high explosive manufactured by
DR. Stephen H. Emmens, near Pittsburg,
and as the latter can be bought by Sir
William G. Armstrong, or any one else it
does not appear that NJ. Turpin and Captain
Treponi had much of secret to sell.
1t has long been known that pierre acid is
the basis of melinite. Emmensite is based
ON a new acid, discovered by Dr. Emmens
and known as Emmens' acid. This is
found by treating picrie acid with nitric
acid. In the latter part of 1887 Cap
tain DAWN, of the French navy, came to
the United States to inquire into the SUBJ
iect of explosives. Among other special
lists he visited Dr.. Emmens, who showed
him emmensite and gave him sample of
Enmens' acid. Captain DAWN made re-
port to his Government and a new series of
experiments with melinite followed, after
which it was given out that a change had
been made in the picrie acid used.
1t had in fact been converted into
Emmens' acid and melinite became prac-
tically emmcnsite. These two compounds
are the only high explosives that have thus
far been fired from a high-power gun with
out premature explosion or other danger
Gus result The only difficulty thus far.
encountered is in the fact that neither
melinite nor emmensite can be exploded by
being lighted, but requires detonating

among promlne mt horsemen feeling that
Nelson would have hard row to hoe to win
the race -s
There are many different opinions ex-
pressed to explain Allerton's easy victory,
and the large majority Of the Maine stall
lions admirers are of the firm belief that
the race was crooked" Several of the
most prominent citizens have similar views
in regard to the matter. They believe that
AIlerton will shortly be sold for d large sum
and afterward another race will be arranged,
which Nelson will win, and in fIster time.
1t is stated positively that Mr.. Nelson in
formed friends in this city before the race
that McHenry would drive his horse in the
race, and these neople were astonished
when they heard that Nelson himself was
to hold the ribbons This change is thought
to be n very suspicious circumstance. Tho
fact that Nelson was beaten in 2l5 and 2:l613
is looked upon as very strange after the
very fast miles the horse has been doing
this season.
