The Great Gulf Storm.

A late letter received from Biloxi,
Miss, gives more hopeful view of the
situation. Hundreds of men are busy
in repairing damages caused by the
storm land in few weeks everything will
be restored. The heavy rains which fol-
lowed the great winds did great service
in melting and washing away the salt
debris that was left on shore. The
writer says, "Even the flower beds in
the Montross House yards were washed
clean and show no signs of their salt
BATH" The wharves are being rebuilt,
and the vessels high and dry on the road
are being wrecked and removed. Right
in front of the Montross House the
wreckage of several vessels and lumber
yards accumulated and greatly protected
the property. The yard fence was the
only one left standing along the entire
beach. The restitution in Biloxi is re-
ported as being rapidly lessened. Among
the prominent citizens of Biloxi who lost
their lives in the great storm was Cap
tain w. H. Patton of Back Bay. He
was on the schooner La Marsh, and he
and all his crew were lost. His remains
were found dashed to his schooner some
days after the storm had subsidized.

1T LOOKS LIKE A SCHEME.
Che Midwinter Fair tn he Used tn Clrcun-
vent the Chinese Exclusion Acts.

fhe Midwinter Fair to lie Used to CIrcum-
vent the Chinese Exclusion Acts.
The Chinese village that 10 to be con-
itructed and maintained at the Midwin-
ter fair may prove of interest TO visitors
from abroad, but the Chinese who are
back of the enterprise did not originate
it for that purpose, but in order to get
another opportunity to add several hun
dred coolies to the present population of
this country.
The Chinese believe that the resolu-
ton passed by congress granting to tho
Midwinter fair the same privileges that
had been granted to the Columbian ex-
position-namely, the entry of foreign
goods free and permitting to enter the
country the laborers, artists and others
Of foreign nations connected with the
exhibits of those nations--will offer them
an opportunity to land some more of
their countrymen.
They have placed the matter in the
hands of their attorneys, and from the
expressions of certain prominent Chi
nese it appears that they have received
advice that comedies with their wishes
in the matter.
Like all the schemes that the Six Com
panies go into, it will be for making
money, and the plan they will pursue in
this instance became public at the Gus
tom house yesterday.
Already the scheme has been put in
operation, and negotiations have been
opened with coolies in China who desire
to become residents of the United States.
Little Pete, on behalf of the Six Com
panies and other Chinese interested, is in
charge of the affair and will see that it
is made financial success.
Little Pete is the go between in all
cases where money is used for the illegal
landing of Chinese, and he is considered
one of the shrewdest "fxers" doing bust
ness at the custom house. He has been
given instructions to arrange for the inn
portation Of another gang of supposed
actors, and for several weeks he has
been in correspondence with those who
are to assist him in China.
Letters have been forwarded to China
announcing that all who desire to come
to the United States and avoid the trou-
BILE that the exclusion acts present can
do so by becoming members of the Chi
nese village that is to be imported for
the Midwinter fair.
Under the resolution passed by con-
gress, if it will apply in this case, the
number that will be permitted to land in
order to participate in the fair is not
limited, and how many will be desig-
mated by Little Pete and his associates
has not been made known. 1t is expect
ed, however, that fully 300 will avail
themselves of the excellent opportunity
that will be presented, and for that priv
ilege each one must pay $200.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

Sensitive Old Saybrook.

The town of old Saybrook will hold II
meeting in few days to rescind vote
recently passed appropriating money for
the building of lookup. Since the vote
was passed the sentiment of the town
has changed greatly. and now the ma
jority of the people believe that the erec-
ton of a building for the retention of
violators of the law would cast an odium
on the ancient town. tits seldom that the
need of such building is felt in old Say
brook, and the people believe that COM
munity as orderly and law abiding as
theirs can get along without it.-Hart-

A FIGHTER WITHOUT LEGS.
A CoIored Man With No Legs and One Arm
Makes Things Lively.

A Colored Man With No Legs and One Arm
Makes Things Lively.
City Jailer lola Canova says that "if
they ever send him out again to arrest
one armed, no legged man he amt going
to CO." Tola's resolution is on account of
an experience he had with an individual
of that description a day or two ago.
lola was kicked in his dinner by a no
legged man and felt so bad about it
that he was almost tempted to send in
his resignation.
1t seems that Peter Moody, a colored
man, who lost both legs and one arm in
railroad accident, filled up on pure I'M
adulterated cussedness at q cost of 5
cents drink, and proceeded to paint
East Jacksonville in bright vermilion.
The first thing he did was to fire his pis-
toll at boy who drives an ice wagon for
Martin Ferguson. The boy outran the
bullet, and his cries brought Officer
Moore to the scene, but Moody stood on
the stumps of his legs in the middle of
the road and defied the officer to come
near him, at the same time waving in
the air, in reckless manner, a formid-
able looking revolver.
Officer Moore telephoned for assis-
lance, and Sergeant Thames and Tola
Canova went to the scene. They had
the hardest kind Of q struggle with the
disorderly individual, who inflicted upon
each of them some very painful blows
with the stumps of his legs and arm.
Finally, however, they got him in a cart,
and by choking him succeeded in keep
ing him quiet. The blow of the stump
that caught lola in the stomach lifted
him in the air somewhere in the neigh
borhood of three feet.
Moody is now in the city Jail. He will
be turned over to the county authorities
on a charge of assault with intent to
kill.-Florida Times-Union.

A Curious Will Contest.

A curious will contest, according to
Paris papers, is about to be tried in the
Seine courts. Five years ago Russian
princess died, leaving large fortune.
There was great surprise among her rel
atives when the testament was opened.
BY one of its clauses she left 100000
francs to the person who would remain
a year in the chapel to be erected above
her grave in the Pere la Chaise. The
body of the princess, according to the
legendary report, lies in crystal coffin
in wonderful state of preservation. No
one of her relatives has been able to re-
main longer than two or three days in
the chapel. What will become of the
5000. 900 francs is the question.

A LEGAL COMPLICATION.
Michigan Law Gives the Mineral Range
Train Robbers an Unusual Chance.

Siichigan Law Gives the Mineral Range
Train Robbers an Unusual Chance.
In the case of the people against Domi-
nick and Edward Hogan, William But
Ter and others, accused of the Mineral
Range express robbery near Houghton,
Sept. Is, the prosecution is in quandary.
The case is soon to be called for trial.
Meanwhile the prosecution has to solve a
very delicate legal problem or forego the
hope of convicting all of the five men at
present under arrest.
The specific charge against the five
prisoners is robbery. The Michigan
statute defines robbery as the theft of
property by means of violence to the
custodian or owner thereof, or intent to
do great bodily injury or to kill in case
of resistance. Fear is made an essential
element of robbery, thus implying that
the person or persons in charge of the
property must be put in fear of death or
great bodily injury. The maximum pen
atty in Michigan is Imprisonment at hard
labor for life. Dominick Hogan was the
agent of the express company, and the
1000 stolen was in his charge. Ii he
relinquished possession OF the money
through fear of violence, he was robbed
and was not himself robber.
On the other hand, if he was party
to the theft and feared no injury, then
no robbery was committed, and none of
the prisoners can be convicted Of more
serious offense than larceny, the maxi
mum penalty for which is five years i'm
prisonment. Therefore, to secure con-
viction of any of the accused on the
charge, the prosecution must prove the
innocence of Dominick Hogan, whom it
has caused to be held two months in Jail.
and whose good name has been ruined.
The only alternative appears to be the
withdrawal of the charge of robbery and
substituting the charge of larceny, the
punishment for which must be very
light as compared with the just deserts
Of such audacious criminals. The de-
tense will make this legal technicality
the main point in their line of action
during the trial.-Minneapolis Journal.

the floor burned away, his wife and
everything in the honse cremated, and
