prejudice existed against her and it took

very prosperous business, which she
kept up for thirteen years and then re-

that in her opinion there is no more ap-

MARQUIS JOSE MARTINEZ DE RODA.
president of Guatemala, was killed in
battle by the soldiers of Salvador, which
country the ambitious de Barrios was
trying to annex. Nine. de Barrios,
after the death of her husband, came to
America, and has since lived in great
style in New York. The Guatemalan
president missed no chance during his
administration, or rather dictatorship,
for that is really what it was, to make
money, and as he had not an abiding
faith in the stability of his government
he invested his .spoils in New York and
England. His widow, who became his
wife when she was fifteen, and who was
virtually abducted by him forcibly from
her home, is still young woman,
though she is the mother Of eight chill
dren. Her wealth and beauty have
gained for her social distinction wher-
ever she has been. She met Senior De
Roda last year at a ball given by the
Austrian minister in Madrid. After an
ardent courtship of several months she
consented to be his wife, and now he is
in New York to make her his bride. The
prospective bridegroom is but thirty-six
years old, dark, tall and good looking.

wonderful deeds Of heroism or self-sacri-
fee, but the children in its ranks are to be
taught to seek opportunities Of being help

COINS FOR The FAIR.
Specially Designed Silver Half Dollars
to Be Used as Tickets.
Chicago Tribune.


Director Leach of the Government Mint
has approved the plan which has been pro-
posed of issuing from 10000. 900 to &c. O0O. 900
silver half dollars of a special design for
use in lieu of admission tickets at the
Worlds Fair.
If Congress, by the passage of a special
bill, shall agree with Director Leach. these
coins will be OF unique design. On one
side there will be head of Columbus and
on the other an appropriate inscription.
A notable feature of the issue OF
these coins, according to Director Leach,
is that while they will have the face
value Of 80 cents as an admission fee
to the fair, they will cost the Government
not more than 80 cents. The coins will be
redeemable by the Government at their face
value But inasmuch as the 100000 or
20, 000,o00 who are expected to visit the fair
will want 10 retain the coins as souvenirs,
the Government will be ahead between
S3,00O,0O0 and S4.000.000.
The latter amount Is but s., 000 900 short
OF what the Worlds Fair people are asking
Congress to appropriate as virtual stock
Eolder. In case it should do so the return
on such an appropriation is estimated as
being between 81 and 100 per cent on the
investment Taking this view of the case
Congress, with the amount paid back on the
appropriation aud the estimated amount it
would realize from the coins, will be an out
right winner of several million dollars.
Captain Porter of the Secret Service branch
Of the Treasury Department at Chicago has
been directly instrumental in presenting the
sketch Of the coin which Director Leach of
the Government Mint approved Captain
Porter is so enthusiastic over his coin de-
sign that he will apply for q patent.

DEATH MEATH THE WHEELS
Horrible Suicide Of an Insane
Chinese Carpenter.
He Threw Himself Under a southern Pacific
Train Because He Imagined That His
Wife Had Bsen Stolen.

FOng Cling. an insane Chinese carpenter,
committed suicide yesterday morning in a
most shocking manner. He threw himself
iG front of a Southern Pacific passenger
train and his body was horribly mutilated.
1t was few minutes after 6 O'Clock yes
terday morning that a neatly dressed
Chinese appeared at the stable attached to
the House of Correction and asked for a
drink of water lie shiyered and appeared
to be sick, and when asked what was the
matter he said he was looking for his wife.
He said that hIghbInders had stolen his
spouse and he was most anxious to find her.
In rambling and almost incoherent manner
the Mongol said that he would certainly die
if he could not find her. Then he exhibited
about $50 in gold and silver, saying he
would give il to any one who would find
his wife.
After staying around the stable for over
an hour the Chinese walked upon the rail-
road track toward the city. Several persons
saw him limping along slowly on his way
to town.
A TRAIN AT FULL SPEED.
At7:45 o'clock the passenger train from
San Jose came along at full speed The
Chinese had passed the Sunnyside Hotel
and was within 200 yards OF the power
house Of the electric road when he heard
the train approaching and stopped. He was
seen by Henry Bush and j. f. Richards
standing on the track. When the engineer
blew his whistle the Chinese turned and
faced the locomotive When the engine was
within a few yards of him he threw himself
across one Of the rails directly IN front of
the wheels
Thomas Thompson, the engineer, reversed
the engine and set the air brakes, but the
engine and three cars had passed over the
mans body before the train stopped When
the trainhands jumped off they found that
the body had been terribly mangled and
scattered along the track.
PIECES OF THE BODY.
Both legs had been cut off at the thigh
and the head crushed and severed from the
body. The trunk of the body was also
crushed into mass Of pulp.
The train then proceeded TO this city and
the Coroner was notified OF the suicide.
Two deputy Coroners went 10 the scene
aud scraped up the mutilated remains. A
bunch of keys in one of the pockets was
fattened and twisted out of shape, and
some OF the money was bent by the heavily
weighted carwheels.
A pOlltax receipt bearing the name of
loon La kee was found in q coat pocket.
During the afternoon several Chinese
called at the Morgue and said the deceased
was FOng Cling, aged 40 years, and car
painter by occupation. Relatives of Cling
said he lived at q Waverly place and had
never to their knowledge, been married.
lie had acted very strangely up to TIE time

and relatives advertised in one OF the local

any one who could give information as TO
his whereabouts. An inquest will be held

Alameda.

The Aram- Gamble scandal was revived
in Alameda on Wednesday night by a per-
sonal encounter between the two men in a
Park-street saloon. 1t has been charged for
some time past that Lawyer Aram had
aIienated or tried to ALLEVIATE the affections
of the wealthy Mrs. Gamble from her hus-
band, but 1t was only on Wednesday that
he professed to be smarting under the accu-
sation and determined to punish Gamble for
starting the rumor. Aram was noticably
under the influence Of liquor when he met
his rival. ana was no match for the bar
tender, who threw him out at the first sign
of hOstilities. Gamble. however, followed
his man to the sidewalk and administered
to him severe drubbng with heavy cane
before the two were parted. There were no
arrests.
