ATLANTA, GA, July 3I.--Last night a

attracted Unwonted attention from the fire.

was the wife of David Lamar, the erstwhile
editor o. Southern Life, whose connection
with that paper a week or so ago was
severed in so sensational a manner.
Mr.. Lamar as president of the
Railway Employees Liability Association,

in his trouble.
CHEATING AND swINDLING.
Several days ago Lamar was arrested for
doing business without license. However,
from this charge he came clear and with
flying colors. To-day he was arrested under
the more serious charge Of cheating and
swiudling. As president OF the Railway
Employees Liability Association, a mutual

men all over the state by
his insurance operations. Recently he
visited Americus and secured 81 400 worth
of insurance. There seems to be no direct
evidence as yet Of any wrong-doing, how
ever. on his part. The case as Detective
Wright states, seems to have been brought
merely because the company could show no
assets. IL being a mutual affair, Mr.. Lamar
said it required no assets to conduct it,
other than its expenses.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The future of
this section of congress depends altogether
on the treatment of the worlds fair appro- =
priatlon as contained Ia the sundry civil
bill Everything else which threatened
trouble, including the anti-options bill. has
been disposed of in some way. The House
has gotten itself into a dilemma
by voting to concur ia the
Senate's worlds fair amendments
without being able to finally pass the bill.
There are but two ways of escape: One is
to secure a majority vote on a motion to
table the pending motion to reconsider that
vote, and the other is Co reconsider the vote
by which the amendments were ooncurred
Ia. The latter is the most probable outcome
of the present situation, which would mean
the adoption OF one Of several compromise
propositions which have been put for ward.
When this is done speedy adjournment will
be had.
Tomorrow in the House will be suspen-
sion day and an effort will be made to pass
a resolution extending the appropriations
carried by the sundry civil bill Whether
or not this motion viii succeed il Is prob
able that 1libustering will be resumed for
such a time as cannot be defined by any
one
The Senate has concluded its business and
is now waiting on the House. To Gil IN the

II is. therefore, out of the question to rule
with the Catholic party as the chief factor.
We must take the present Catholic party as
an example and must initiate them and
form a united party against Catholic infiu-

of the Catholic party, or OF the Catholic in

Referring to what he called the false
policy of the movement, the ex-chancellor
said that so fast as the government gains q

After an Exhaustive Search Three
Men Strike it Very Rich.
BOISE CITY, IDAHO, July 3l.-Lost mine
stories are common in the west, and as a
general thing people place little reliance in
them. A true story OF the discovery of a
lost ledge comes from Lemhi county, In
this state. The Incident has caused wide.
spread sensation in Idaho mining circles.
Late in the fall of 1864 f. Is. Sharkey g,
Bill Smith and o. &. Mulkey, all Of Salmon
City, were up on hunting trip to Fish
Lake. One day, while starting deer, one
OF the men accidentally discovered a mar
velously rich deposit OF decomposed gold
quarJz. SO mpletely disintegrated had
the quartz formation become that the gold
could be washed out, aud within a week
the three men had secured fifty
ounces Of the precious metal.
Their supplies running short and
winter coming rapidly on, the men con-
cealed the opening they had made and re-
turned to Salmon City. Early In the fol-
lowing spring they purchased an expensive
outfit aud started out to work their bonanza.
To their disnlay they could not find the
ledge. The storms Of the winter had OBJ
liberated every landmark, and a months
hunt resulted fruitlessly. They returned to
Salmon City, and the story leaked out, and
they were laughed at.
From that time up TO two weeks ago or
ganized parties of prospectors have contin-
ued to hunt for the bonanza Smith and
Mulkey long ago gave up the search In dis
gust but Sharkey perseyered. Last week

It Saves the Life OF q Child, but Is
Ground to Many Pieces.
CLEVELAND, July 31.--A crowd of peo.
pie stood around and jostled each other TO
obtain a glimpse of dogs maugled body as
it lay beside the Nickel Plate railroad track
at the Root street crossing the other evening.
A few minutes earlier a group Of children
were crossing the track. Among them was
a 3.year-old toddler and at his side walked
the dog, keeping watchful eye on his little
master.
A switch engine on its way 70 the city was
rapidly approaching the children when they
were half way over the crossing, At the
same moment a freight train. west-bound
approached on the other track. For min
ute the children paused irrssolutely, and
then hurriedly crossed the spacs between
them and safety-all but the 3-year-old
child who was confused by the approach OF
the two trains at once, aud who remained
in the path OF the switch engine. now very
close at hand. The dog barked loudly but
did not stir from his little masters side. An
older brother snstched the child from in
front of the engine just In the nick OF time,
aud the dog tried to follow. 1t was too late,
and the faithful brute was struck by the
engine, knocked under the wheels of the
other train, and in second was cut to
pieces.
the dog, which was the property of a
member Of the Leader staff, was nearly
Thoroughbred St Bernard, and was very
intelligent animal, being devoted to his
owners children, over whom he exercised
almost human care and IN whose services he
was killed. The older boys attention was
attracted by the dogs bark, and he was thus
enabled to save his little brothers. life.

WORLDS FAIR CHANGES.
Nc Material Change in the situation in

Nc Material Change in the situation in
the House.
WASHINGTON, July 3l.-There has beon
no material change III the attitude of the
respective sides Of the House with regard to
the worlds fair appropriation, and when
that body meets tomorrow it will be
with the state of affairs practically
unchanged from what it was when
adjournment was taken Saturday. Neither
side has been doing very active
work to-day, but each has coutented itself
with reviewing what has already been ac-
complished and discussing the propect OF an
early termination of the deadlock. True,
members OF the House opposed to the appro-
priation have been discussing in an informal
way several propositions looking to COM
promise of the difficulty that have already
been suggested, and 1t may be that one OF
them will take formal shape before the
pending contest Is very much older.
EXTENSION TO BE OPPOSED.
In the House tomorrow MIR. Holman will
call up his joint resolution to extend the
appropriations CARRIED by the sundry civil
bill for Uhe last fiscal year until Aug. 4. As
tomorrow is suspension day the resolution :,
it is said, can be called up, Notwithstanding
that tbs regular order is some other
motion. This motion, 1t Is expected, will
be fought by the worlds fair people, who
will insist that inasmuch as the sundry civil
bill can be enacted into law almost as
soon as a joint resolution can be, il
the opponents of the fair appropriation
will abide by the decision of a majority of
the votes cast in favor Of it, there is no
necessity for joint resolution extending
the appropriations.
Mr.. Holman says he would not agree 20
an amendment to the resolution extending
the appropriations until December Such
an amendment. IL carried, would
defeat the worlds fair appro-
prietion. This assurance was made in
answer to q suggestion OF the worlds fair
people that he had such an amendment in
view when be offered the resolution aud
which was one OF the reasons why Mr..
Hopkins objected to the consideration of
the resolution yesterday. Mr.. Holman says
he expects to see matters reach crisis by
Tuesday, although he did not indicate in
just what form be thought it would ap-
pear.
HOLMAN LOOKS FOR A PosTPoNEMENT.
Mr.. Holman in the course Of further con-
versation tonight said be thought the prop
osition to let the question Of an appropria-
tion for the fair 90 over until December met
| with most favor, and he was inclined to
think it would be accepted By the friends OF
the fair. Ii this should be accepted, Mr..
Holman said. the way 10 plain for the
passage OF the appropriation bill and the
adjournmenu of congress-
The amendment prohibiting any officer Of
the government, or any person or corpora
tion having contracts with the government,
from employing Pinkerton police or any
other body OF armed men, Mr.. Holman
said, might cause some trouble. He be-
| lieved, however. the Senate would recede
| from it's disagreement to the amendment.
