Apaches and his bones hidden IN some out
of the way chasm.
On July 5a wagon came into town and
st opped at the door Of the hotel. There
was lifted from it the form of q man which
was so emaciated that it was supposed to be
some dying invalid who had come to this
country, as so many do. to find life again
in the iuvigorating air. When he was car
ried into the hotel he told the clerk who he
was. The clerk was utterly aStounaed, for
he was one OF Gordon's best friends and had
been one Of the search party. At first he
could not believe that the truth was being
told but the strange tale soon convinced
him that it was really the long lost scout.
Gordon says that after he got lost he wan
dered aroun the desert until he saw that
he could fad no way out and then he
bent all his energies to keeping himself
alive, as he was confident that he would
pull through some way. He knew that II
he travelled far enough south he would come
10 civilization aud with this end in view he
went on and on as well as he could, living
on snakes and lizards or anything elss that
he could find that would sustain life. At
one time he was without water for three
days and almost went wild from the terri
bic thirst He worked his way along and it
was month before he struck trail where
he knew wagons would pass along. Here
he lay down and waited on the verge OF
death for assistance, which came Ia the
shape Of a Mexican with a cart aud he was
hauled to house where be got a wagon TO
carry him to Yuma. He now weighs only
10 pounds, but the doctors say he will re-
cover and be as strong as ever again if he
takes care of himself.

A Strong Man Reduced to a Mere
Skeleton.
YUMA, ARL July 1o.-There was brought
to this city few days ago man who
comes as near being q physical wreck as
man can become without dying, yet this
same man, three months ago, was thought
to be the most perfect specimen of physical
manhood in the whole territory. James
Gordon, prospector, guide and scout, has
been known In this part Of the country for
years, aud bis wonderful endurance he's
carried him through many tight places and
is now the cause of his being alive. He has
undoubtedly passed through the worst expe-
rlence ever allotted to man and lives to tell
the tale. He left this city three months ago
to guide a party of gold seekers and took
them into a desert IN the Gils river coun-
try. At that time be was strong and
weighed over 200 pounds. being g feet 2
inches tall in his stocking feet, and built
like giant
By some mischa nce he got separated from
his companions aad the guide became lost
The party with whom he was travelling re-
turned to the city two weeks after he left
them, loud in their condemnation OF him
and under the impression that he had pur-
posely deserted them and left them to starve
in the desert. As he had not returned the
suspicion at ones fixed itself in the minds
of his friends that something was wrong,
for he would never have left the party In
such a condition. search was az once IN
stituted by his friends and continued for a
whole month with no success whatever, no

CHANCES OF THE FAIR.

The House Begins Consideration OF
the Amendments.
WASHINGTON, Jnly l6.-In the House to-
day the Senate amendments to the forti6oa-
tions appropriation bill we're non-concurred
in and q conference was ordered.
The House proceeded TO consideration Of
q number of private pension bills which
came over from last night with the previous
gu estion ordered.
Sixty-four private pension bills were
passed and then the House went into oom-
mittee OF the whole, with Mr. Lester Of
Georgia In the chair. on the Senate amend
msntS 10 the sundry civil appropriations
bill.
Ar. Taylor OF Illinois offered an amend
ment TO the Chicago exposition paragraph, =,
which he said he would hereafter call up,
providing shat IL the exposition be kept
open Sunday no machinery shall be run
nor any labor nos absolutely necessary per-
formed and, that a hall shall be provided
for the conduct of religious services by min-
listers Of all denominationL
WHEELER AGAINST THE APPROPRIATION.
Mr. Wheeler of Alabama, cont ntinuing bis
speech commenced yesterday, said this was
an inauspicious time for congress TO be
asked to donate IS, O00, coo OF the peoples
poration, and that congress had better
devote its energy to bills which give relief
to nn overburdened and suffering people.
IL the income tax bill introduced by him
early In the session had become law and
the rich compelled to pay portion OF the
taxes this bill would DO less iutolerable, but
with the present laws which exacted all
taxes from those who work, he would oppose
any such donation Of their bard earnsd
means The appropriation bills now being
substantially disposed of we should
now legislate for the people. Repeal of the
10 per cent. tax law by which the finances
of the nation were concentrated in the
hands Of q few, was imperasively demanded
by the people and its repeal was recon-
mended by the national democratic plat
form, and also by the democratic platform
OF the state OF Alabama. Let the federal
government take its hands from the throats
of the states and once again give financial
freedom TO the sovereign states. We de-
mand this emancipation from federal con-
troll. We demand free coinage OF silver
and we demand an income tax by which
the wealth of the land will. bear some por-
ton Of the burden OF our government.
Most OF the other speakers addressed
themselves TO the Senate amendment to the
bill, but, as usual, when it Is known that no
final vote will be reached, the speakers were
not complimented by large attendance.
At no time during the day we're more than
100 members present, and the galleries
could not muster that number OF spectators.
The press gallery was deserted and the press
gallery 10 thermometer OF the House.
When business is brisk the press gallery is
crowded When it is dull the "printers. y
as Mr.. Culberson Of Texas terms them, are
absent. They were absent to-day.
In the course Of the day another prohibi-
ton amendment was offered.
No vote was reached upon anything con-
neoted with the sundry civil bill.

ments were acted upon. The bill contains

ing forty printed pages, to pay findings OF

These items aggregate S9S2,OOO. All
items for insurance companies
were struck out Of the bilt
with the consent Of Mr. Hale. who was in
charge of it, and action on all items on the
last twenty-three pages was suspended on

they had been referred TO the committee on
claims and had not yet been reported upon
by that committee. MFR. Mitchell, however,
stipulated that his COMMITTEES would exam

version Of the killing of negro tramp by a
brakeman on the Florida Central and
Peninsular road near Lloyd's station, in
Jefferson county, on Tuesday last, has come
to light to-day.
The conductor of the train found the ne
gro stealing a ride. He told the negro that
he must get off, that he had ridden far
enough already and that the company did
not allow 1t and he would not have it. The
oolored man got of, but when the train
started again, unknown TO the conductor, he
got on again, climbed on top Of a car and
laid down. When near Lloyd's q brakeman
found the man in his concealment.
He told him to get of. The negro
cursed him and the brakeman drew
pistol to enforce his order.
The negro was dared out and pitched in for
q fight, and actually succeeded in wrestling
the weapon from the hands of the brake
man. Once in possession of the pistol, he
became abusive and defiant, and thrust the
pistol 10 the face of the trainmau, telling
him he'd see him in - before he got of.
The brakeman went down into the car and
got another pistol. This time the argu-
ment consisted of five shots in quick success
sion, and four Of them took effect in the
body OF the negro. One penetrated the
forehead, another entered the face under
the eye. and a third bored hole through
his heart, and the fourth inflicted a wound
In his stomach. The brakeman was not

ences Among His Followers.
LONDON, July 16.-Out OF twenty-five
seats remaining to complete the house six
teen are likely to fall to the opposition and
six TO the unionists. The House Of Com
mons will thus finally consist or 3l6 union
lists against 354 members OF the liberal sec
tions The liberals, though confronted by
the fact that a considerable majority Of the
British members are still unionists, contend
that Mr.. Gladstone has absolute right by
law and precedent TO carry his home rule
measure by the Irish votes alone. The tone
OF the liberal executive to-day is entirely
altered regarding the proposed delay in the
home rule bill, probably inspired by com
munications they have received. They now
assert that Mr.. Gladstone will have the full
approval of the party 10 sxpsditing home
rule.
The Times holds that the union
lists are amply strong enough to
prevent Mr.. Gladstone from carrying the
revolutionary measure and oan afford to
wait until his heterogeneous following is
dissolved by internal conflicts and rivalry,
and until the ineompetency of the minis
ters, crippled by every variety Of impracti-
cable promise, has been exhibited TO the
world. Mr.. Gladstone, the Times continues,
now depends upon the Irish. Not being
members OF his party, they will not obey
his whips. Nine Parnellites will be sufficient
to prevent transactions between the Glad
stonians and anti-P Parnellltes, who, obliged
to maintain their independence of all the
English parties, will be forced to refuse
anything short Of Mr.. Parnell's home rule
bill, which, il Mr.. Gladstone ventured to
propose, would break up the English lib
erals
