A Policemap.s 1,riuce,y fortune,

BosToN, Mass. March 5.-TEe story
published last fall of a large fortune left
by a will to Police Officer Spooner. of
Division /. is now confirmed by the
officer himself, who has Just returned
from England, where the money is
located in the form of valuable estates.
When Officer Spooner first heard of the
good fortune that had befallen him he
and Capt. Cain procured a leave of
absence and went to London to invcsti-
gate the will and the wealth that by its
provisions was to become Mr.. Spooner's.
Everything was found to be correct, but
the entire matter was in chanccry. and
only required the Identification OF Officer
Spooner to make his title good This
was accomplished through the aid CT
Capt. Cain, Spooner's chief. The extent
of the fortune is hardly ye: known, RS
much depends upon the value of almost
an entire street in London in the hear,
OF one of the busiest sections. which. it
said, will aggregate between 81. 500. 900
and S3,O00.000.

Forgot where He Put the Diamonds.

KANSAS CRY. Mo-, March 5.-Some
months ago small sensation was created
here by the announcement that the dia-
monds of Mrs. Kirk 3. Armour, valued
at $4,000, had been stolen from a box in
the New England Safe Deposit COM
panY's vaults. Detectives were put upon
the case, but no clew was found to the
missing jewels. Ugly runors were set
going, too, owing to the fact that two or
more persons had had access to the box.
To-day the diamonds were found in n
long unused box in the vaults. Ii an
pears that the jewels were deposited by
MIR. A. w. Armour. father of Mr.. X, B.
Armour. one of the firm of Armour Bros.
packers. He, on arriving at the vaults,
found that he had forgotten his key, so
put them in another box. This circum-
stance he forgot. hence the mystery.

THOUSANDS INVOLVED.
An English Syndicate Suing for Bench OF
Contract.

MOLINE, ILL.,, March 1.-THE initial
proceedings in a S225,oOo damage suit
against S. w. Wheelock and fifteen other
stockholders in the Moline Pillow company
have been commenced in the Rock Is
land county circuit court by an English
syndicate known as the American Tx
ploratlon and Development corporation,
of London. England. Representatives of
the syndicate bargained for the pur-
chase CT the plow company's plant last
summer aud made first payment of
$4,000 Oct. ]. agreeing to pay
the balance and take possession
Feb. ], 1891. President Wheelock
and the other stockholders signed
contract to transfer their stock
on receiving the final payment by
Feb. ], but before that date one of
the largest stockholders, presumably
President Wheelock, gave the syndicate
notice that he would refuse to transfer
his individual stock. The syndicate
made no tender of money Feb. 1, and the
pioW-company people pocketed the first
payment. The syndicate now asks for
the return OF its $4,000, and also $780,
600 damages. Secretary Bryant says the
notification Of one of the stockholders
that he would not fulfill a contract to
which he could be held amounts to moth
ing. He says the syndicate simply failed
to come to time Feb. 1; that it really
made the bargain ON behalf of still other
English capitalists, who went down when
Barring Bros. failed, and who were thus
unable to take the stock for which they
had subscribed. This in turn crippled
the syndicate. which was rendered una
BILE to offer the cash on the specified date.

and She bcqueathing all hers to him. In
June, 1856, Mr.. Nelson died and the dis
cofery was then made that he had
signed his wife's will, and that She had
signed his. A suit was brought in the
supreme court to establish Mrs. Nelson's
right to her husbands estate, and jus.
tice Williams to-day handed down a de-
cision in which he holds that the prop
erty, aside from Mrs. Nelson's dover in

CHICAGO, H.. March 6.-Edward M.
Goujon, master of horse to his imperial

approval of the Gar he came to this
country early last year and purchased a
plantation near Shreveport, La, for the

that Central Asia offers great
possibilities for the raising of
the cotton plant, and he is now on his
way hack to the Russian dominions to
put his knowledge into practice. Heand
Prince Dolgorouky already own large
plantations in the Asian cotton belt
which they will ut once plant into cot
ton, assisted by some Louisiana cotton
planters as overseers, and with some
negroes who will be taken there to teach
the natives. Possessed of the imperial

promise that the tariff on American and
Indian cotton will be made prohibitory.

A Boston Chemist Presents the World
With n New Metal.
BosTON, Mass. March T.-Gcorge A.
Clark, an eXperien led ironworlser of this
city, claims to have discovered an ore in
the Rocky mountains which he believes
is new to the world. He says of it:
took specimens of the ore to assayers in
Cincinnati, Chicago and Boston and no one
OF them could tell Inc the name of the min
eral. Then began here Il series OF expert
ments myself. mixing it with molten iron.
1t combined perfectly with the iron, and
found that only q small quantity was
necessary to increase the tluidity OF the
metal. 1t rendered the iron ductle, and in
low grades acted as a purifier. The pro-
duct Of the alloy was q homogeneous metal
OF very fine pores, capable of
higher finish than before. Tho Stag expelled
by its use contained no metal and was very
light. In the treatment of iron with only
per cent. of this new ore, the formers ten
sile strength was increased from 10 to %
per cent. Uusing only half OF per cent. of
this or in a mixture with copper, l found
that it gave the metal greater density and
a great increase-from so to 100 per cent
OF tensile strength. The resulting metal
100, is capable of high polish. In II word, l
found that the ore incacased the tensile
strength and the nuidity under heat of both
these metals and makes them both OF finer
grain. 1t is non-corrostve.
MIR. Clarke produced handful OF the
ore-a substance that looked like fine
sandstone, save that it was black and
many pieces of it presented highly pol
lshed surfaces as smooth as as bit of
glass. Mr.. Clarke refused to state the
location of the field, which, he said, was
exposed over the space of an acre, as he
is trying to get control of it first.

REEDS GOODBYE.
His Parting Words to the Dissolvins
Fi1ty-first Congress.

WASHINGTON. March 5.--,Just prior tC
final adjournment of the Fifty first con
gress Speaker Reed took occasion to say
| After two long stormy sessions. in some
respects unparalleled in Il hundred years,
| the house or Representatives of tine Fifty
| first congress will soon pass with COM
| p!etcd record into the history OF the country
and it's work will follow it. What we have
done is in a large measure political. What
| ever is political rouses the sternest. most
| turbulent. most unf orgiving passions OF the
human race. Political action can never be
| Justly viewed from n near standpoint. Time
and distance are needed for ripe Judgment
and the verdict of history is the only verdict
worth recording. To state in language
which would seem to me to be adequate for
the achievements of the house would not be
suitable to this time or this place, nor is it
in the least needful that should here and
now rekindle the old disputes or fan the
dying cmbers. The struggles OF the past
are gone. Whether we have disposed of the
questions of finance with wisdom and broad
craftsmanship time will surely show.
Whether in the things we have done and
the things we have attempted for the fur
therance of human liberty we were actuated
by hgl, and honorable motives viii be Wis
iblc TO all the world at no distant day. Orr
actions are c;italogued and an expression
of praise by ourselves would be all in vain
III our deeds Go not praise us our words Can
not.
Confident rs am of the verdict of time
on what we have done, am still more con-
fdent that the highest communication will
lie given us in the future. not for what
measures we have passed, as valuable as
they are. but because we have taken such
long strides in the direction of re-
sponslble governments; having demons
strated to the people that those
who have been elected to do their will. can
do it. Henceforth excuses will not be taken
for failure Of performance and government
by the people will be strong IN the land.
Toward those who have opposed what IL
ma iority of the house have desired we can
have no unkind or personal feeling. Who
ever offers to battle the old convictions and
faiths must expect that the battle and viyor
of resistance must always bear some pro-
portion TO the vigor of the onset.
To the members on my left, with whom !
am politically associated. l leg To tender
my most sincere ana heartfelt acknowledge
ments. No man ever received Il more I'M
and unlinching support OF from
