An Opal Ring and Some Royal Deaths.
Foreign papers tell story of an opal
ring belonging to the late King Al
phonso XII of Spain, (which will be
treasured by those who believe in the
superstition regarding the evil effects Of
that stone. On his wedding day the
king presented a beautiful ring to his
Queen Mercedes, daughter of the Duke
Of Mpntpensier. The queen wore the
ornament till her death. which occurred
soon afterward. Before the burial his
majesty took the ring from his wife's
finger and placed it upon that of his Sis
ter, the lnfanta Maria del Pillar. The
young princess only lived few days
after receiving the ring
A third time the king took possession
OF the ring. and presented it to his sis
ter-in-law, Princess Christina, the
youngest daughter OF the Duke of Mont
pensier. Three months later the prin-
cess died. The king, surprised at the
history Of the ring, decided to wear it

A Deluge of Dollars.

@. q. Kicker, chief clerk of the St
Louis subtreasury; B. Q. Farrar, the re-
ceiving teller. and E. NJ Miller, the
watchman of the vault. were standing
in group just inside the ponderous
doors and beside several immense rows
of silver dollars which were piled to the
ceiling of the vaults in canvas bags, each
containing $1,000 and weighing about
sixty pounds
Suddenly MIR. Kicker noticed slight
bullying movement of the center of the
outside row of heavy sacks, and realiz-
ing in second what was about to oc-
cur, he sprang to the opposite side of the
vault, at the same time showing his COM
panions away from the falling mass of
silver. Mr.. Farrar fell in one corner
out of harms way, while Mr.. Miller was
fortunate enough to lodge in the passage
room between the smaller vaults, which
is at the farther end of the silver room
Mr.. Ricker's action was none too early.
for in the twinkling of an eye nearly
10000 pounds of silver were piled four
feet deep on the spot where they had
been standing. 81
As it was, several of the bags struck
him on the legs and bruised his feet.
The truck used to wheel the heavy sacks
about, which was standing in the mid
die of the vault, was smashed Nearly
81 1000, 600 were scattered promiscously
around the steel room, and it was by the
merest chance that none of the men
was killed. In consequence of the ac-
cident large amount of the silver coin
will be moved to the upper vaults

Fishes Pumped from the Bay.

Friday afternoon the powerful hy-
draulic dredge of the wharf company was
operating a sand pump by which a
twelve inch stream of mud and water
was forced from the bottom through a
line of piping 800 feet in length and de-
posted on the flats south of the leyee.
The pressure exerted by these pumps
was so great that hundreds of fish, from
the small mullet and croaker to the red
fish two feet in length, were sucked in,
passed through the tubing and deposited
in the shallow water at its outlet, where
they were captured by dozens of boys
equipped with dip nets and carried off
in triumph. Over 300 pounds were gath
cred in by this method. Galveston

lM'LE0D ON THE RACK.
Readings President Appears Be-
81 fore the Congressional In
yestigating Committee.
He Admits That the Railroads
Control the Output and
Prices of Coal.

NEW YORK, Nov, 25.-The congress
sional committee which is to investi-
gate the Reading coal combine began
its work, after several postponements,
this morning. All the members of the
committee, except John Lind, of Min
lesota, were present. Chairman w. j.
Coombs presided. 1t was nearly IL
O'Clock when the proceedings were be-
gun. The first witness called was
President Mcleod.
MIR. Mcleod testified that in addition
to being president of the Reading rail-
road he was also president of the Phil
adelphia & Reading Coal and Iron COM
pany, capitalized at SS.000.000. Before
proceeding further Mr.. Beach offered in
evidence statement made in suit of
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania
| against the Reading railroad and the
coal and iron company. Mr. Mcleod
examined the statement. He said that
the total number of acres of coal land
controlled by the Reading through the
coal and iron company were 1887,
two-thirds of it unimproved. Leases OF
the lines of the Lehigh Valley railroad
and the Central railroad, of New Jer-
sey, to the Reading, dated Feb. IL and
Feb. IL, 1892, were offered in evidence
by Mr.. Beach, the counsel for the COM
mittee. Mr.. Mcleod admitted that
since these dates contracts had been
made by the Reading with individual
operators along the lines mentioned to
pay 80 per cent of prices realized for
coal.
Mr.. Mcleod said that at a meeting
held either in June or July prices of
coal were fixed, and they were in adj
vance OF those prevailing previously.
There had been no advance in prices
since July. Mr.. Mcleod said he would
give the committee the number of indie
pendent individual coal operators along
the line OF the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad at the time the deal took effect,
and the numbers at present, and also
the number of tons produced by the
individual operators then and now. Mr.
! Mcleod said that the total output of
anthracite coal from the Pennsylvania
region is about 100000 tons yearly,
although the mines are capable OF turn-
Ing out 55,000,000 to 60,000.060 tons.
They refrained from the maximum out
put for fear of overstocking the market
and the resulting reduction in prices.
y Witness denied that the railroad COM
panies in any way regulated the out
put. He was further questioned on
this subject and adritted that bis own,
and he believed many other roads,
either owned or leased the majority of
the anthracite mines and practically
|, carried their own coal and materially
regulated the. output, always insisting.
though, that this was done through the
ownership of the railroad companies of
the stock of the collieries. The ques-
ton of rates charged by the Philadelphia
&Reading road for carrying anthracite
ton mile, and for Bituminous six mills
a mile. MIR. Mcleod was then excused.
Vice President Maxwell, of the New
Jersey Central, was then called, but
was excused in few minutes. The
committee, after short private con-
.sultation adjourned until tomorrow.

BOARD IN TROUBLE.
Mysterious Meetings Of the
School Inspectors and
What They Mean.
Said to Be the elimination
OF the White-Gilbert Dis
agreement.
Charles E. Keller Not Salts
fed With the Popular
Verdict.
He ReneWs His Contest Of
Two Years Ago in the
Courts.

If half the rumors are reliable, there
is a merry war Oh in the board Of educa-
ton. Twice this week there has been
an executive session of the board, and
all that can be gathered from the in
spectorS is that some trivial matter has
been under consideration.
The fact is that the old war has broken
out between Supt.Gilbert and Secretary
White. Both of these neil are COM
petent officials, but one board is not
large enough for both to hustle around
III. Without detracting from the merits
of either, it must be said that each is
gifted with large and full-grown de-
sire to run the whole machine. Each
was born with Wild-eyed desire to be
boss, and while this quality is neceS-
sary to a certain extent i'll the discharge
of their respective duties, the several
ideas have come in conflict.
For some months there have been
stories of the war between White and
Gilbert, but there has been nothing very
definite nor anything that would furnish
matter for publication. The story ra Il
that White had preferred charges
against Gilbert and that Gilbert had
preferred charges against White; but
both men denied the soft impeachment,
and requested that nothing be said
about the affair just now"
But now it is the story that the board
has taken up the matter and that devel-
opmentS may be looked for within few
days, if not hours. One inspector, when
questioned about it yesterday. de-
clined to say a word, and would
neither deny nor affirm the rumor
that charges had been preferred
against Secretary White. The story is
that White, who was very jubilant over
the election of Cleveland-aS any good
citizen naturally would be-had taken a
day or two off for the purpose Of cele-
brating, and that his enemies had taken
advantage of the fact to enter charges
of neglect of duty against him. The
board will meet again today, and an
other executive session will probably
result, but that is the question involved.
There is no report that any charges
that may have been made were at the
instance of Supt. Gilbert but the fact
that bad blood was known to have eX-
listed between them gave color to the
prevalent rumor.
