Senator Stanford Dead.

MEMO PARK, CAL, June al
United States Senator Leland STAN
ford died at II o'clock last night.
He passed away peacefully at his
residence in Palo Alto.
Gov. Stanford was in the best of
spirits yesterday. He took drive
around his stock farm and seemed
as we'll as ever. He died short
ly after 10 o'clock. About mid
night his valet went into the
governors bed room, discovered
that he was dead. 1t has been evil
dent, for some time, that Senator
Stanford's demise was question
of but a short time. His symptoms
were apoplectic, and his weight
was increasing alarminly. There
was a stiffness about his limbs
that made locomotiOn an exceed
ingly difficult task, and his body
was fast becoming too heavy for
his limbs to support. He could
take only the slightest exercise.
Doctor Curtis, of San Fran
cisco, prescribed heroic treatment,
but the senator was not ready to
undergo the drastic methods for
the reduction of flesh, and the res
toration of his waning strength.
Hisapopleptic symptoms increased,
and his situation became such as
to cause serious alarm. About
six weeks ago it was found neces-
sary to impose severely plain diet
upon the senator, and since that
time his sole food has consisted of
fried hashed meal, with hot water
as the only liquid accompaniment.
The senator rigidly adhered
to severe requirements OF
the physicians, and it seemed
for a time, that its result were
most beneficial and might possible
effect a permanent cure. The Sen
ator expressed himself as much en-
couraged, and looked forward
hopefully to the time when he
could devote himself with renewed
energy to public affairs, and to the
completion of certain educational
and other benevolent enterprises
that were very near to his heart ;
but his strength was not suffi-
GENTLY great to respond to the de-
mands upon it. Its fundamental
weakness suddenly manifested it
self and he passed quietly away.

Two Million Dollar Fire.

FREDERICTON, June 81 -
Eighty dwellings, six grocery and
general stores, two churches a rail-
way station and a round house
were destroyed by fire which
swept the village of Gibson, Oppo-
site this city yesterday. The
fire started shortly before two
o'clock and is believed to have
originated from a little boy play
ing with a toy pistol and match in
his fathers barn. A hundred and
thirty families were rendered
homeless and were sheltered in the
hotels and private houses of Glib
son and this city. The loss is
heavy and falls on the mechanics
and laborers. The destruction of
property is about two million dol
lars,

own watchers and attendants. His
rooms are filled with choicest flow
ers, his lightest wish is anticipated,
the best surgical services are at his
command, innumerable offers of
assistance and ceaseless inquiries
after his condition pour in on his
nurses, all classes assuring him
how deep their sympathy, how
strong their detestation of the as
sault and the threat that followed
it. The Colonel is thought by his
friends to be out of danger, but for
days his life hung by a slender
thread.
The assailant is held under bond
to answer to the charge preferred
against him by others, Col. Ropes
being unable to do so.
The most remarkable thing about
this whole affair is the manner in
which the facts have been sup
pressed, the meager mention that
has gone out to the public mis-
leading it by referring to the Oc-
currence as "row" between bust
ness men. This matter is not
creditable to the journalism of
Corpus Christi, and leaves the
press and the press correspondents
of that city open to the charge of
sharing in the sectional hate
voiced by the people against Ropes
as Northern man, or of being
too badly intimidated to publish
the facts.
The many friends of Col. Ropes
in this city and southwest Texas,
will be surprised and panied to
learn of this assault upon a gentle
man of his standing and character;
a man so distinguished for his cour-
tesy on all occasions, even when
called upon to assert himself in the
most positive terms. To them the
intelligence that he is considered
out of danger will be most well
come. Those who know him best
will have no fear of his being
driven from the field of his vast
enterprise in this state by any
threats from any quarter. His
courage and his sense of justice
alike forbid this, and when he re-
covers strength he can be depend
ed on to invoke the aid of the
courts for his protection and the
punishment of his assailant.
When the case is sifted in court
the facts will all appear, for the
press of the state will not again
trust to the local correspondents at
Corpus Christi for information.

Attempted to Skip.

, Joe Metzler, who claims to be
one of the bridge gang employed
on the Arkansas Pass road, was
lodged in the jail at the Central
police station about two o'clock
this morning, on suspicion, by Of
ficer Chas. Abbey. Metzler has
been in the city for about one week
and has not done any work, but
has spent his time in lettering
around and acting in suspicious
manner. When he came here he
stopped at the boarding house of
Mrs. j. Blanchard, opposite the
Arkansas Pass depot, and agreed
to pay his board at the end of the
week.
Last night about IL o'clock he
was seen by the officer walking
down South Flores street with a
valise. The officer following him
around until 2 o'clock, when the
arrest was made. 1t was learned
that the valise contained clothing
belonging to Metzler, which he
had stolen from the boarding
house, with the intention of skip
ping weeks board bill"
Metzler was arraigned before the
recorder this morning, and after
the evidence was heard he was as
sessed a $40 fine.

Was to Have Been Buried Today

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, June 2l.-Some
time last winter Professor Andrew
F. Seymour announced that on
June 81 he would throw himself
into a state of insensibility and
allow himself to be buried. or
late the professor has not been
heard from and the feat will prob
ably not be performed. His origi-
nal proposition was that the burial
was to take place today; that the
grave was to be watched by a COM
mittee day and night, while a crop
of barley is sowed, ripened and
harvested over it. Mr.. Seymour is
then to be disinterred, and will re-
turn to life. 1t is a feat which, ii
it claimed, has been performed by
the fakirs of India under condi.
lions that prevented imposition,
and Mr.. Seymour says he has such
control over his mind and nervous
system that he is confident he can
perform the act.
