This story has been passed around the

or she enters the gallery. i'll order that
Maj Pickler might not take them by
surprise. The South Dakota man is
always on his feet, either waving his
arms and wildly shouting "Mr. Speak
er," Or else delivering speech on some
subject with which he is unacQuainted.
AT these times his colleague, Congress
man Jolley. skips out; he does not care
to be taken for the "genlleman from
Sonth Dakota.p The fact that Pickler
will still remain in the house has soft
ened Mr. Jolley's disappointment over
his retirement: and small wonder.

THREE STRANGE SUICIDES.
Rippey, the Last Of a Trio of EX-.
Miilionaires.

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 26.-Three sui
cides form one of tue strangeSt features
OF the story of Rippey. who shot John
W.-Mackay Friday. There lived for
ten years in this city three old men. all
victims of unwise speculation in Pine
street. Two had been wealthy, and the
other was well to do. In prosperity
they were little more than acquaint-
anceS, but as their fortunes Waned they
became fast friends. 1t was friend
ship formed in Pauper alley. One of
these men was RipDey; another was
john Maloney. once worth $500, 1000, but
who ended his existence Oh the 18th
inst. by jumping into the bay from
MeiggS' wharf. He was pelnilesS and
hungry, and for weeks had been living
i'll a dry goods box under a stairway.
The third man. named Walton, was
the first to die. He had been a specu-
lator Oh Pine street, ,and. like the others,
was penniess. 1t was in July last he
ended his life, in a grove i'll Alameda
county. He wandered into the wood,
arranged a brush heap and craWled
into it to commit suicide. For days his
body lay undiscovered, and it was over
two months before his identity was es-
tablished. Walton, Maloney and Rip
pey were fast friends III their old age,
Walton and Rippey even rOomed in the
same house, and MaIoney was fire.
quent visitor there. They dis
cussed their misfortunes together,
and when Rippey became Vio-
lent in his denunciation of sue
cessful spectators he had auditors who
agreed with him. When Walton ended
his existence Maloney and Rlppey were
left together. When MaloMey drowned
himself in The bay it was Rlppey WHO
appeared at the morgue and established
the dead mans identity.
AT the inquest Rippey was the princ-
pal witness, and his testimony showed
the two men had discussed the question
of suicide. There is every reason to be-
lieve that the three old men committed
suicide, each knowing that the others
would do likewise. RippeY was the last
to 20, and it may be that his mind be-
came affected through brooding over
his resolution.

SLEPT HALF a YEAR.
Cauterization Brings Girl Out
Os a Trance

PARIS, Feb. 26.-For the past five
months girl of thirteen had been lying
in state of complete lethargy i'll a pri
vate hospital outside Paris. The sleep
ing maiden has been recently restored
to consciousness by DR.. Reffegau in
peculiar manner. She usually lay
asleep with her mouth open and throat
exposed to view. The physician noticed
that one of her tonsils was enlarged,
SO he resolved to cauterize it with
red-hot iron, an operation which would
be beneficial even if it did not terminate
the cataleptic condition. After the iron
had done its work the girl, who had
been previously insensble to the prick
ing OF pins, manifested signs of pain.
and uttered feeble cry. From that
moment she began to return to con-
sciousness and at last awoke. The pa
tient had no recollection of anything
that had taken place during five
months. She is now in normal health.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 26.-In a re-

charged that the Mason & Foaard COM
pany, of Frankfort. lesseeS of. the states

account of the convicts in the
Eddyville penitentiary. The Mason
& Foard company have a ten-year
lease, which was made by Gov.

Gov. Buckner tomorrow will publish an
open letter, in which he charges Gov.
Brown with epresenting the rec

alteration in the contract was made
with full authority, aud that several
thousand dollars was saved out of
the appropriation for the building.
He is exceedingly severe on Gov.
Brown. The affairs of the penitentiary
and the lease are in charge of the board

JoHNsoN's SKATES.
They Have NIutiiated Two More
Skating Records.

Ihey Have Nj utiiateu Two MOre
Skating Records.
AS soon as Skater-Bicyclist John S.
johnson, Of Minneapolis, had finishe d
his dinner, yesterday, he hitched up his
belt another notch, slung his skates
over his shoulder and said:
Il guess I'll go out and commit as
sault and battery on few NOR erec-
ords."
When he arrived at the Normanna
Skating clubs rink he found the ice in
fair condition, so he strapped Oh those
long, low, raklSh skates, and with the
toes just clipped the ends of couple of
records. The amateur records for 200
yards and for two miles were the ones
he sent to the hospital.
The 200-yard record was the one he
first took a flyer at. In those races
down III New Jersey a couple of weeks
agn, johnson was beaten in the short
distance race, but won tue longer ones,
five and ten miles. Some people have
been inclined TO think he was
a long distance skater. Johnson
wanted to show them that he could
sprint Il BIZ. A quick run put him un
der headWay After that his steels
made only Il few scars on the ice. He
was in the air most of the time. Until
yesterday the record for 200 yards has
been 20 As seconds. When Johnson
flashed those 2O0 yards he had obliter-
ated % Of those seconds, and the rec
ord stood II 2-5 seconds.
hat 2O0-yard spin was Just warm
in@-up for Johnson. He and Ole Rudd
were billed for a two-mile race. John
soa won it, but he had a small margin.
This young Rudd is the boy who helped
johnson defeat the Eastern cracks at
he'd Bank. They were close together
nearly the Whole distance. Neither
would let the other get far away.
They made a cracking race for the two
miles. In the last lap Johnson made
one of those phenomenal Spurts of his
and won by about ten feet. II e first
mile was skated III 800, and the two
miles in 6:0l. This is two seconds bet
ter than the best previous record, made
by Joe Donogiue. The correctness Of
the time is unQuestionable.

strikes, only going to such all ex-
treme measure as last resort
when all other means of settling differ
ences that may arise fail. However,
