How an Absent-Minded Man Was Carried
Far Beyond His Station.
"FOrty-secOnd street" shouted the guard
on an elevated railroad train, but the we'll
dressed man sitting near the door never
moved. He continued reading his news
paper until the guard had slammed the
gate shut and pulled the bel[rOpe. Then he
jumped up, looked out of the window,
rushed to the door and requested the guard
to let him get off The guard saw him COM
ing, and he graSped the levers firmly and
held the gates closed.
Cant do it," he said shortly; you'll
have to 60 to the next station"
The man looked confused as he took the
seat next to the door, so that he would GER
tainly not be caught at the next station. He
seemed 10 appreciate the fact that number
of passengers were watching him, and it
seemed to bother him. AS the car gained
Roadway the man looked out of the window,
and his face clearly Indicated that he was
mad at himself. When the train pulled up
at Thirty-third street he was still in brown
study, aud seemed oelivious of his sur
roundings. He evidently had forgotten
himself again. The guard glanced at the
passenger as the last person from the station
platform came on board the train. The
man did not move, however, until just as
the train was about to start when he
jumped up again and hurried out to the
platform Of the car Again the guard had
been watching him, aud he held the gate
fast shut.
The passenger was thoroughly confused
by this time, but there was look of deter
mnatiOn on his face as he took position on
the platform OF the car. He evidently had
made up his mind tnat he would not be
caught mapping at the next station. Alas,
for the best laid plans! At Twenty eighth
street something in the street below seemed
to attract his attention and his wits went
wOoI-gathering again. Just as the train was
gathering Roadway he started, turned round
and glared at the guard, who was just call
ing out the next station.

more of ride for his money than he wanted

on the station platform, and remained in

INFERRED BY FORCE.
A Body Deposited in Church Yard
Vault Against Orders.


The congregation of st. Johns Episcopal
Church of Elizabeth, n. j., are discussing
with animation the breaking into of a vault
10 the church. yard on Saturday afternoon.
1t was only known to the vestrymen and
sexton at first, but the news soon spread
among the other members Of the congrega-
ton, says the New York Mail and Express.
The body Of Miss Emma C. Mayo, a niece
of General Scott who died on March 31st
which has been lying in a receiving vanlt at
the Evergreen Cemetery, pending the action
of the Board OF Health, was put into the
family vault in st. Johns Church-yard,
despite the protests of the vestrymen.
The veStrYmen had refused permission to
the relatives of the deceased to place the
dead wOman'S body in the vault, although
the Board Of Health granted permission to
do SD. The Mayo family had key to the
vault, but the veStrymen caused The old lock
TO be removed and substituted new one.
Then Miss Mayo'S friends consulted Law
yer Richard V. Lindabury. and he advised
them TO obtain an entrance by force to the
vault, but not to the churchyard. as this
would have been unlawful. He told them,
if the gate of the churchyard was fastened,
to lift the casket over the fence.
Undertaken j. G. Ogden, who drove the
remains Of Miss Mayo to the vault, found
the gate of the churchyard unfaStened, how
ever, and PASSED quietly in. Then the lock
to the vault was knocked off Miss Mayo'S
body was then placed in the vault, after
which a new lock was put ON, and the KEY
given to tie Mayo family.
Miss Mayo was very active In the Episco-
pal Church, and took part against the rector
of the church in the scandal four years
ago. The vestry supported the rector, and
Miss Mayo, with other prominent men,
bers of the congregation, withdrew. 1t is
said that the action of the vestrymen is an
outcome of this trouble.-Ex, ress.

John Sykes of Kansas City, who is at the
Palace, is OF the opinion that the Farmers
Alliance is on the wane as political power,
and his views are based on the fact that this
is the best crop year that has been known in
the Mississippi Valley for more than a
decade.
There is no denying the fact" he said
to CALL reporter yesterday,s" that the
Kansas farmers were in fearful straits at
one time, and 1t is not surprising that they
revolted. The only wonder to me is that
the upheaval was so long delayed. On
account of business affairs made quite an
extended trip through the western portion
of the State in the early spring, and found
hundreds Of families on the very verge OF
starvation. Everything was mortgaged, not
only the land, but horses. harness, plows,

Anmas, just as planting time was coming
on. every thing began to look favorable for
a prosperous season, the mOney-lenders
began to swoop down and forecloSe on
everything in sight. This was too much
even for the farmers, and they protested in
a way that settled the matter without delay.
They quietly went for their shOtgunS, or

GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
Reports Concerning the blta Fire Insurance
Company Of Stockton.

STOCKTON, June Lett is street talk here
that the Alta Fire Insurance Com pany Of
this city is to 90 out of business if its risks
can be reinsured at reasonable rates. Sew
eral insurance managers have been here
during the week making offers for the COM
pany's business, but no conclusion has been
reached by the Directors. The Alta direc-
tory say the company may wind uD its al
fairs, but final decision will not be reached
for several days. They will make no fur
ther move in the matter until their policies
are taken by frSt-class companies. The
Alta is three years old, and has done a large
business. The stockholders have paid in
$3.50 per share and all losses have been
promptly paid, but 1t Is the opinion Of
the Directors that they can do better
with their money, and hence the
offers for the business have been re-
ceved. The impending dissolution of the
Alta is attributed by one portion of the
stockholders to expensive management /;
whereas another portion make the declars-
ton that It is the result Of a scheme on the
part of spectators to wreck the concern in
order that they make money by the trans
action. A few months ago Alta stock was
being bought up at 80 per cent OF its face
value. Ii is said that tie purchasers secured
a majority of the stock and now propose to
wind up its affairs, as they are at liberty to
do, if the risks are transferred to other
companies, and divide the assets, which are
said to aggregate about $751; COO. Il Is further
asserted that the stock is worth nearly 100
per cent in cash. The stockholders, who
bought UP the majority of the shares have a
different story. They say the company was
losing money, and the only way they could
save themselves was to bunch the shares
and close up the concern.

FaylOr'S Charges Against the

Interested Parties in Sacramento Hunting
for an Alleged Record
Senator MahOney Looking After his Bill
for The Appointment Of County SaaleFS
Of Weights and Measures.
Epecial to TIE MORNING GAIL.

SACRAMENTO, June 16.-Senators Brod
eTick and George II. Williams of San Fran
cisco are in town, along with l. Danielwitz,
who is doing expert work in the Secretary
of States office an behalf of the Senatorial
combine" the members Of which are ac-
eused by George w. Taylor of having en-
ployed him in certain cinch-bill negotiations
and then refusing to pay him his share of
the plumber. Taylor has something on rec
ord himself, and that is what BrodericE,
Williams and Danielwitz are here to inyes-
tigate. 1t is charged against Taylor that
during the Yosemite investigation, in Water
mans administration, he drew warrants for
a large amount Of witness fees, as Sergeant
alarms of the Senate, which he pOcketed.
Other things said to be standing in the
States records against Taylor are to be dug
up by DanielwitZ. The prospect for plenty
of fun before the Taylor suit is over grows
beautifully bright and there is considerable
talk Of sending the redoubtable Taylor to
Jail if the facts supposed to exist are attain
able.
Senator MaE0ney is here looking after his
SealeT Of Weights and Measures Bill which
he successfully pushed through the LegiSla-
ture. The time within which the Secretary
of State must appoint a State Sealer is
about TO expire. and Secretary Waite, who
IS hostile 10 the measure. has taken no
action. The bill requires a County Sealer
to be recommended by the Supervisors and
appointed by the Governor, aud in San
Francisco the fees of the Office would be
about $4,000 which woald be a levy upon
the business community. In Sacramento
and other large communities the Office would
be likewise fat" Senator NahOney mad

says that even if Waite holds out the bill

DRUNK OR DYING2

Fatal Errors Are Often Made by an In
correct Diagnosis.
There have been several instances lately
where men supposed to be drunk have been
taken to the police station and an ambulance
called. The ambulance surgeon has re-
fused to take the case, giving as reason
that the man was simply intoxicated, says
the New York Mail and Express Death
resulted, and the poSt-mortem examination
showed fracture of the skull. This does
not prove that our ambulance surgeons are
at fault or too hasty, for the same mistake
has been made in other cities in this coun-
try and abroad, but it shows that the physi-
cal examination of an intoxicated man is
of necessity superficial. Fracture of the
skull Is often very difficult to diagnose under
the most favorable circumstances, where
full history of the case can be obtained from
the mans friends, much more difficult is it
when the only history obtainabe is from
the police officer who finds the man. The
diagnosis is obscured also by the fact that
patie mt may have been able TO walk to the
station-house with the help Of the officer and
still have a fracture of the skull.
Recognizing, then, the difficulty of dag
nOsng fracture Of the skull, especially when
| man is partially or completely intoxicated,
the question is as to what is best to be done.
1t Is an established rule in most hospitals
that drunk" as 1t is called, is not a hos
| pital case. and surgeons have orders not TO
| remove them. Would it not be better TO re-
move every case to the various reception
| hospitals, where at least they can be under
observation, and discharged in the morning
| if not i'll or injured?
The British Medical Journal, in discussing
| this important question, writes as follows:
"a highly conn endable order has been
| issued by Sir Edward Bradford, the new
| Commissioner of Police, to the effect that
| in all cases where there is reason to suspect
that prisoners, whether suffering from drum
| kenness or not, have received any injury,
or are suffering from any disease at the
| time OF their apprehension or while being
detained in custody, medical aid is TO be at
once sought, the divisional surgeon being
| sent for in every case that seems in the
| least to require his aid. The Commits
sioner desires that the previous police
orders on the subject will be liber-
ally interpreted by those who have
! charge of the stations. In following ia the
| footsteps of his predecessor Sir Edward has
deserved well of the public, and we may
| hope that under his rule the heading Drunk
or Dying9 will appear less frequently in
| the daily press"

surgeons to dress wounds, If not serious. at
