THE statement was recently made
that Gen. Longstreet was the only gen.
eral who sighted and aimed cannon
during the war; but now comes up a
story of how ex-President Hayes did
the same thing and made so good shot
that he came within an ace of dropping
a shell on the very spot at the time
occupied by Gen. William Phillips, of
Georgia, and his staff. Gen. Phillips
afterward tried his hand at sharpshoot-
ing and succeeded in sending a bullet
uncomfortably near to Gen. Hayes.
Gen. Phillips is now an assistant United
States district attorney at Atlanta

the Contrary Nothwithstsnding.
LAREDO, Tex, Jan. 23.-A friend of
Cara today said he knew Cara did not
intend togive himself up. He knew Cara

A Queer plaee to Hide Money.

Not long ago neighbor in a frame
house was burned out and the residents
in the vicinity all worked hard to try
and save some of his furniture. To our
surprise the man seemed quite indiffer-
ent to the fate of his chairs and tables,
but ran great risk of being burned alive
in his efforts to save few flowers in
some shabby looking pots. 1t did not
appear to me that his flower collection
was worth a dollar altogether, and
could not imagine why he took such
pains to save it from burning.
l found out afterward that it was not
the flowers or the roots that he cared
for, as they we're all scattered roughly
around the front Of the house, nor for
the pots, which he threw away. The
secret t1rned out to be that he was using
his flower pots as banks in which to store
bis spare money, and he admitted on be-
ing questioned that he had been doing
this for many years.-Interview in St.
Louis Globe-D Democrat.

A SEA LYRIC.

They went to save the salmon nets
Out of the hungry sea,
Twas Just outside of the Harbor bar,
AS near as near could be;
1t was just behind the sandy bar,
The women were all on the quay.
The boat rode DER the rolling foam.
They pulled against the wind,
For twas rough within the Harbor bar.
The breakers reared behind;
And gray gulls shrieked DER the shelt'rini
bar,
The caverns with sea birds were lined.
They went to draw the fishing nets;
A cruel, crested wave
Swept slowly on to the Harbor bar,
And scooped for them grave;
The boat heeled over the harbor bar,
And keel up to the women drave.
They went to save the salmon nets
Out of the leadeu sea,
Twas just outside of the Harbor bar.
Near to home as could be;
1t was just behind the sandy bar
And beyond the lisL,e stone quay.
One moment black against the wave,
The women still sT.th dread,
Then the boat leapt over the Harbor bar.
And on to the Mothers sped;
And two lads lost DER the shifting bar
Till the sea giyeth up her dead.
They went to save the salmon nets
Out Of the surging sea,
From just without the sandy bar,
So near, as you can see;
The screams that rang DER the fleeting bar
Were the woncA's cries from the quay.

received here to wait for two men, stat
ing they left on freight for this place.
Policeman McLemore saw the men get
off a northbound freight train which ar
rived here this morning, and halted
them. One OF the men shot him dead.
As soon as they shot the policeman
they jumped into an empty box car of a
freight train which was pulling out,
locking themselves in. Shortly after

rived. Among the passengers was De-
tective Chester of the Missouri Pacific,

Foundations.


Foundations.
ROME, Jan. 23.-Several quite severe
shocks of earthquake were ielt here last
night, which caused panic In the more
crowded quarters of the city. The in
habitants of the houses thought their
dwellings we're about to fall, and they
rushed into the streets, many of them
in dishabille, not waiting to save any
of their personal effects. So much
did they fear arepetition of the shocks
that they remained on the streets all
night. The theaters were violently
shocked and the persons present at the
performances were greatly frightened.
The panic soon subsided, however.
Most of the clocks were stopped at
ii :27 am. The ground shook so violently
that street lamps were extinguished.
The pope was aroused by earth tremors.

servatory to inquire if they we're likely
to prove serious. His holiness was as
sured there was no prospect of any dam
ger. and he thereupon retired for the
night.

houses were demolished, but nobody is

POMONA.

The Press club passed through North
Pomona yesterday morning en- route to
San Bernardino, Redlands, Riveside,
etc. Pomona for some reason or another
did not come to the front with her usual
enterprise and vim, and therefore the
eastern newspaper men will lot have an
opportunity to view at leisure the beau
ties and many attractions of our city
and surroundings.
The Fruit Growers union is busily en-
gagged in packing and shipping oranges.
The Pomona cigar factory, popular
and growing establishment here, owned

to sympathize with him. Instead of

tins for $50 and sold them for $50 each
to the number of ten. None OF the

public library in the new Union block
are about ready for occupancy, and the
library and all its appur.enances, incud-
ing the fine marble statue of the goddess
Pomona, will be removed therein next
week.
N. Green, an employee of Browns
hotel, was arrested yesterday, charged
with violating ordinance 50. The pres
ent outlook is sthat the citizens qualified,
good and true of this city, will be called
on to do jury duty for some time yet to
come, and all of them will have chance
at that pleasant occupation. The trial
of this case was set for next Thursday,
the Smith trial having previously been
set for Wednesday. A venire for fifty
jurors has been issued in each case by
City Recorder Morton.
Major Rust, Indian agent, was in this
city Friday.
