AROUND THE CORRIDORS.


Ex-Mayor Cole of Fresno, who was In the
Grand yesterday, and who had little un-
pleasant experience with Chris Evans when
the latter escaped from jail, says he believes
that the desperado's friends had made ar
engagements 10 effectuay disguise him when he
got out. even 10 procuring false arm anc eye
for that purpose. Evidence Of this fact is said |
to exist.
= Vice. President Harrahan OF the Illinois Gen. |
trail Railroad, who is at the Palace. has had |
quite an eventful career in his chosen voca-
lion. His first experience in railroadins was in
the capacity of freight brakeman, and he has
worked himself up through individual effort
alone. Seeing him in company with Gener al
Superintendent Fillmore OF the Southern Pa
cifc road recalls the fact that the latter gentle
man has also held about all the intermediate
positions betw en- that of section boss and
his present office.
c. w Partridge. one of the heaviest specula-
tors in Chicago, is at the Palace. His brother
Ed is doubtless the most daring br oker at pres
ent on the Board OF Trade of that city, and was
recently engaged in a wheat deal. the magni-
Jude OF which startled the country. e. w.
Partridge is more conservative in his opera
tons.

where II was ultimately intended by its protector
to organize colony in measure resembling
the lines advocated by Edward Bellamy. but
Mr.. Sibley's death put a stop TO the plans he
had partially formed.
| III. A. Hunt, an internal revenue officer OF
Wichita. Hans, who was at the Grand yester-
day. says that only twenty-f Chinese have
