"The nerviest man lever saw was O

there dispose of the ship and car

time. the confederacy was in soreneed
of supplies, ships and ableseamen, and
at such times officials are not lncli, ed
to be captious. 1t meant $4,000
apiece for the men. It was now 4
o'clock in the afternoon, and the
devilish plot was to be put into exc
cution that night. The captain called
the first mate into his room and
stated the situation. The latter wilt
ed like a starched shirt in a thunder
storm. He was frightened out OF his
wits and cried like a hysterical school
girl. The captain looked az him
in disgust, and told HIM to
go to his room and lock him
self in, advice which he followed with
alacrity. Then he called the crew on
deck, sat down on a coil of rope, lit q
cigar and said: well, boys, I under
stand that you are going to make me
walk the plank tonight and take
charge of the Sea Gull yourselves.
The men looked at each other, but
made no reply. Now he contin-

Hut Eyidsnce of Congrsssmcn Being
Drunk In the House.
WASHINGTON, July 8O.--Ths names Of
members Of congress referred to by Watson
(Ga. in a pamphlets alleging drunkenness,
wers not disclosed by him this morning at
the session Of the special committee ap-
pointed yesterday TO enquire into the
charges. He said he know enough TO sub
stantiats them. but would not mention
names except under compulsion. He said
he had In mind two members, present dur
ing the debate on the silver bill ut night
session in March, when he wrote about
members resling on the floor OF the house
intoxicated. The phrase drunken speakers
speaker in tho Noyes-Rockweli debate.
Watson said in his opinion that the speaker
WAS in a state of maudlin intoxication. In
font of him was a cup and saucer. It's
contents were replenishsd several times and
il was noticed that the more he drank the
more he wandered in his argument. Wat
son heard gentleman say to page. Bring

Otis (Kan.), asked about the member in
question, SAID: He was pretty we'll set
up. The longer he proceeded the wol 10 he
grew" Miss Dwyer, congressional re-
porter of the National Economist, corrob-
Grated the previous witnesses. Representa-
each testified that on two different occa-
siona they had seen a single member drunk
in the aisles. Other witnesses testified to
the same effect. Watson wanted to prove
the existence of bar room in the capitol
building, but Chairman Boatner wonldn't
let him and would not agree that the record
should show his refusal. Boatner said it
was . matter of public notorety that
whisky could be had at either the senate or
house wing of the capitol. BY vote of
Boatner, Buchanan. Wolverton and Grout
against Simpson. motion to admit evil
dence of drinking in the house restaurant
was ovsrruled.
During Otis testimony ii developed that
Representative Cobb (Ala.) was the person
charged with intoxlcation by Watson.
Cobb appealed to tho committee to let the
matter proceed openly, and asked thor.
ough investigation. saying he WAS not afraid
of the result. Oates said that while Cobb
was speaking he appeared greatly exhausted
and someone sent him something to drink.
This stimulant had some effect on Cobb,
eniiveninR his manner. Oates declared.
however, that Cobb was not drunk. He had
known Cobb for twenty-seven years and
never knew him to be drunk, though he
sometimes took drink.

j. II. Russell, of Butte, Claims He Has
Some Salary Due.
j. r. Russell, ex-superintendent of tho
Butte public schools, has com menced suit
against the board of school trustees of that
city. His complaint sets forth that during
June. 1891, he entered into contract with
the defendants to serve as district superin-
tendent of school district No. for one year
at q salary Of 81, 500, payable monthly at
$500 per month and he was employed for
the period at tha9 salary. He continued to
act until Dec. l, 1891, when, without cause,
he says the defendants refused to further
accept his services and declined to allow
him to act in the capacity for which he was
employed and notified him that his services
were no longer required. He says he has
always been ready and willing to perform
the duties of his contract; that the defend
ants have not paid the sum Of 81. 400 except
$1,000. and there is now due and owing him
81, 90 with interest.
