HIS SILVER WEDDING.
a Pumpkinful of Dollars Given to Pop

ular Preacher.
Rev. George W. CrOfts, the preacher-poet
of Council Bluffs, Iowa, has celebrated his
silver wedding. A Council Bluffs paper
gives this account:
BY arrangements of the committee Hon.
l.. w. Ross presided, and the first call from
the programme was the general presentation
address by Colonel J. J. Steadman. The
address was on behalf of all whose gener-
Gus besLowals of regard were presented.
Most conspicuous among the many gifts
offered was huge pumpkin shell well filled
with silver dollars, several hundred dollars
estimated to have been placed therein.
On behalf of Abe Lincoln Post, G. A. R.,
DR.. F. S. Thomas presented very elegant
and also exceedingly appropriate article, a
cut-glass silver-mOunted ink-stand, o solid
silver pen-hOlder and gold pen.
Colonel ID. B. Daley, for the Union Vet
eran Legion, presented q case of solid silver
spoons, and his address, like those of the
others, was earnest in expression and sug-
gestive of the high esteem in which Mr..
Crofts is held by the soldier boys.
Rev. Mr. Crofts responded to the generous
and hearty testimonial offerings and the
patriotic utterances of those who repre-
scented so many. His address was one of
sublmity and happy IN the extreme His
mind ran to poetry and referring to the
donations of friends he was reminded of one
little verse, Peter. Peter, pumpkin eater,
Had wife and couldn't keep her; Put her
in a pumpkin shell, etc.
The most happy aud pleasing part of the
entertainment, perhaps, was the reading by
Mr.. Ross of number OF letters OF regret.
One from the aged father of Mrs. Crofts
sent the committee, and its existence, I'M
known previous to its reading, was pleas
ing feature. Among others were Rev.
Father Is. L. McMenOmy, who sent letter
with bill nclosed, and many others.
The autograph album was placed at the
convenience Of all, aud the names of so
many to be looked upon by Mr.. and Mrs
Crofts will serve to remind Of the happy &C.
caSion.

A Hotel Clerk Averts n Panic

By the presence of mind and quick action
on the part OF +. j. Fay, the night clerk,
panic was averted at the Palmer House at l
O'Clock in the morning, says the Chicago
Tribune. In some manner the canvas
awning in front of Frank Bentley's flower
store, on Wabash avenue, caught fire. The
smoke entered some of the rooms on that
side of the hotel. One of the night watch
men reported it to Mr.. Fay, who sent three
men with tire-extinguisher and buckets of
water to put the fire out.
While the men were at work man rushed
downstairs to the hotel Office and at the top
of his voice yielded to the clerk:
"Your house is on firei Turn in an alarm
and I'll rouse the people,"
=" Be qniet, you idiot!' commanded Clerk
Fay.
But the excited individual paid no heed.
Turning, he started up the stairs shouting
" Fre!" at every step. Mr.. Fay cleared the
desk at bound, and before the wild alarmist
was half way TO the first landing the clerk
had him by the collar. and in another min
ute he was On the office floor.
Now, if you dare open your head again
I'll brain you," shouted Mr.. Fay, with
look that convinced the calamity bowler he
meant business.
In the meantime some one turned in an
an alarm from the box at Wabash avenue
aud Jackson street. In less than fifteen
minutes the fire was out, and the only dam
age was the breaking of Y large plate-glass
window.
"There are between 500 aud 600 guests in
the house," said Clerk Fay after II was all
over, land if that idiot had reached the
halls yelling the way he was we would have

Further Details of Mondays Train Acct
dent In Arizona.
From Geographic reports received at the
office Of W. A. Bissell, General Agent of the
Atlantic and Pacific, yesterday, lis learned
that the wreck Of the east-bound through
train near Pine Veta, AriZ., on last Monday
morning, was caused by broken rail-
The train, which is due at Pine Veta at
S:59 o'clock in the morning, was running at
high rate of speed when the broken rail
WAS encountered. Everything left the track
with the exception of the day coach. The
train carried, besides this, Pullman, two
tourists and two express-cars, all of which
rolled down an embankment. No one was
seriously injured, and the road was cleared
for traffic in lew hours.
A Mr.. Z khaIt of San Francisco had a
son on this train who was bound for st.
Louis, and who was reported in the press
dispatches as badly cut about the head.
Yesterday Eckhart Sr. called on Mr..
Spears Of the Atlantic and Pacific. with a
telegram from Eckhart Jr. saying that he
was all right, and that the worst injury re-

CHEAP SEALSKINS.
Dealers Discouraged by the State Of The
London Market.

VICTORIA B. c., Oct. 27.-Sealing men
are very blue over the condition of the
market for sealskins. The fall seal sales at
London. which determine prices for the
year, were held Monday, and instead Of seal
skins being IN strong demand at high
figures. the market proved to be over
stocked, and purchasers considered sixty
shillings excessive. The ruling quota
ton was fifty-seven shillings, or
about S13, and at this price only the business
done was transacted. Eighteen dollars was
the standard price last year, and owing to
the closing of BehriDg Sea. and the conse-
quently light catch, those interested in seal
ing had been hoping and expecting that the
price would be at least $40 per skin. when
the report of the sale was received this
morning the expressions OF disappointment
were loud.
DISCoURAGING OUTLOOK.
The loss to all in any way connected with
sealing will be heavy, and to not few the
low prices will mean financial embarrass-
ment. There is little speculation in skins
now, and those who have made careful
study of the situation predict that nextyear
further drop may be looked for. One
prominent owner and operator of schoOners
gees so far as to say that if sealskins bring
SIS net next year 1t will be an agreeable
surprise. This opinion is shared by others
equally competent to read the Signs Of tue
times.
UNPRoFITABLE BUSINESS.
Buyers here have calculated upon cur
tailed catch as the result of the mOdus
vlvendi, and have been accepting all skins
offered on the arrival of Schooners, giving
an advance of S14 so, S15, and even as
high as SIT skin. This necessi-
tates refunds in nearly every case.
and it is now certainty that
this season every schooner securing less
than 1000 skins has lost money. More than
nineteen-twentieths of the 1891 catch
reached London in time for the London
sales. The low prices in Lon
one way. The reports of the large
number of seals met with in Behring Sea
this season reached the principal buyers
and caused them to anticipate unusually
large catches. Such would have undoubt-
eddy been made had not the mOdus vivendt
prevented the sealers FROM availing them
selves OF the good things in sight.
ORDERS CANCELLED.
The receipt of the news from London has
completely altered the position of affairs
here, and several who had sent East to buy
new schooners for the fleet have telegraphed
canceling their orders. The schOoners
now on their way will meet
proftless market, and some of the
resident owners are now casting about
10 find other business for their float
ing property. The cost of fitting out, added
to tile wages and other unavoidable eX-
pense connected with the industry, leaves
so small, If any, margin of profit at ruling
prices that few of the old hands will care
TO send their schooners cut in the spring.

Miss Fanny Davenport produced Sardou's

every enc Of the five scenes the leading
characters were called before the
