The Sugar Trust has had its way in the
Senate, says the Brooklyn Eagle. None
of the Democratic Senators voted against
it except Senator Hill and the desire
among the rest of the party was to iso.
late him. He can afford to be isolated.
Before this thing is through some of the
men who voted for this Trust on Tues
day will be lovers of solitude and candi-
dates for forgetfulness. Hill has not
been specializing in sugar stock. Had
Edward Murphy Jr., been speculating
in these stocks? Mr.. John R. McPher-
son has. So has CALVIN H. Brice. So
has Richard Croker, although he loaded
up before he retired from politics, being
able easily to retire because he loaded
up. Concerning Faulkner. German, Nor
gan, Arkansas Jones and the other fel-
lows conclusions will not be erroneous
that they voted for their interests when
they voted against their principles.

A FAMOUS MAN.
Paul Johns. on. the Noted Mind Reader. Visiting
i'll the City.

Paul Alexander Johnston, the famous
mind reader, is in the city, spending day
with DR.. Flint, the mesmerist, and made a
short call at the EAGLE sanctum yester-
day.
Mr.. Johnston is young man, appar-
emily not more than 80 or 80, is of low
stature and has red hair. He is as bright
as a dollar and very agreeable aud pleas.
ant gentleman to meet.
Mr. Johnston is probably the greatest
living mind reader, and bis tame is fully
equal to the noted Washington Irving
Bishop, the man who lost his life while
demonstrating his power of thought con.
centratiOn.
Mr.. Johnston first became noted by driv-
ing cabs biindfoided and picking out hotels
where designated name appeared in the
register aud also finding the name while
still blindfolded.
His greatest feat was done in the cave OF
winds In Dakota. A needle was placed
in this immense and wonderful cave and
Mr. Johnston agreed to be blindfolded and
in that manner find the needle. He was
in the cave four days and nights without
food or water, and finally found the needle,
to the great establishment Of those who
hid it.

FOUR SHOTS FIRED
TWO COUSINS FIGHT A DUEL ON
SOUTH FOURTH AVENUE.
They Were Witnesses on the Opposite
Sides Of a Case and COntradicted
Each Other in Giving Testi-
nony-Quite Lively Feud
Started by the Episode.

Crack, bang-bang. crack. went four
shots on South Fourth avenue yesterday
afternoon.
Great was the excitement that followed.
Black and white men, women and chill
dren were vomited forth from every shanty
| for distance of four blocks and ran fran
tically to and from the scene of the shoot
ing. Those who were near ran from
| the place and those at distance ran
towards it, and for time it looked like
Bediam had broken loose. Women
skeedadled in all directions with crying
babies in their arms and when the repor-
ter met these on retreat be learned that
just four men had been killed. One
colored woman threw I'D her hands and
voluntarily stated that she saw the four
men drop with her own eyes.
When a reporter for the EAGLE arrived
and the smoke of battle cleared away he
found twenty men who had twenty differ
ent stories to tell and each story was as
different from the others as day is from
night.
Officer Sutton was detailed to investl-
gate the matter and after putting In
whole afternoon working he told the 1oi-
| lowing story in substance:
Some time ago Eli Patton of Conway
Springs and Dave Patton of this city were
witnesses in trial-one of them for the
plaintiff and one for the defense.
Their testimony conuradicted each other,
and bad blood was engendered between
them. They met yesterday on the corner
of Fourth avenue and English street, ana
both of them pulled their revolvers stimuli
taneously and began shooting and adj
vancing towards one another. After each
had fired two shots they both turned
on their heels and ran away, the
supposition being that neither OF them
had more than two cartridges. The affair
was as bloodless as a French duel and
none of them was hurt.
| 1t is said that Dave Patton was the ag-
gressor and fired the first shot, but this is
denied by his friends, who say that the
other fellow was the aggressor.
| Eli Patton lives near Conway Springs,
| but lived here some years ago. 1t is al
| legged by some old-timers, who claim to
know him, that be was the fellow who was
almost riddled with bullets west OF here
some years ago and left on the prairie sup
posed to be dead.
Both have friends and the battle of yes
terday, it is said. will result in a feud that
will not end till one or more persons bite
! the dust.

DISTRICT COUNT.

Harry Walters, who was tried in the dis
trict court yesterday for alleged theft I'M
der the charge of grand larceny, was found
not guilty by the jury after they had been
out but seven minutes The interesting
part of the case was that the fact was I'M
covered that the farmers of Waco town
ship during the recent stringency in money
matters had kept their money hid in their
bedticks, fruit jars, coal scuttles, under
the carpet, in chimney fiues and every
other conceivable place. The man who
lost the money had kept il on top of az
eight-day clock.
The case of the state against Briley, for
hog stealing, was carried over till tomor-
row az 10 clock a. III. Stevens Brothers
Of South Lawrence avenue claim that the
defendant stole hog from them and at
tempted to carry it off in a wagon, but
when close pressed left the hog out and
tried to escape. They say that the defend
ant threatened to shoot and pulled gun.

"BOUSTED" A PAIR OF PANTS.

George Baldwin was confined in cell
in the city prison yesterday-there to
await the time when he will be able to pay
a $50 fine and the costs of his case.
George and his pard were in need of
money aud in order to gain the necessary
cash his pard attracted the attention of
Mr.. Petrie. gents furnisher, while
George "bousted" pair of blue and black
striped pantaloous. Detective Woods
captured George and turned him over to
an officer and then found the store where
the goods were sold for S1.50 and obtained
the pants. There are number OF stores
in town where not so very many questions
are asked when people wish to sell a pair
of pants which they have just bought and
not yet worn.

OLD oRpI>ANCE ENFORCED.

Ding, ding, ding" went the street car
bells all along the streets yesterday. When
the cause was sought it was found that
orders had come the night before that the
men in charge of cars must ring 100 feet
in advance of each street crossing, and un-
til the crossings were passed.
This is an old unobserved ordinance and
had any accident happened while it was
yet observed only in the breach, the street
car company would have been held liable
for damages, and would have been laid
open to the charge OF neglect.
1t is a good move in the right direction
as it not only enables those driving horses
on streets crossing the track to look on,
for the car, but also those on the same
street in advance of the car, aud will en-
able one out of sight and waiting on a car
to more easily catch it,

For the Eagle:
THE EAGLES SPRING POET.

He took his pen in hand to write
Some poetry on spring.
OF balmy days and lovely nights
When the frogs begin to sing.
Come spring. ethereal miidness. come
And then he stopped 20 think:
aCome gentle zephyrs from thy fairy homei"
And then he took drink.
He likened spring to maiden fair,
In fiimy garments clad,
So thin the circup nsilnbient air
Exposed her liver pad.
He raved Of roses on her cheeks,
And dimples IN her chin,
OF eyes that. though little weak
Could pierce his heart within.
OF golden hair. volui tuous form,
hi. senses to distract,
Unconscious of the coming storm
such rashness would attract
For the ground hog some six weeks before,
BY coming from his den,
Predicted six weeks winter more
His shadow saw he then.
So back into his hole he fed,
And pulled the hole IN after;
And curled himself up in his bed.
Convulsed was lie with laughter.
He thought Of poets. old and young.
OF spoOny, wise and foolish,
Who'd pirate OF spring with pen and tongue
While yet the air WAS cool'sh.
And then he thought how the eQuine-ox,
With head and tail erected
Would knock spring poets out Of the box
Aud leave them sore detected.
For the type OF spring though maiden fair.
He had but little mercy,
F.. But tossed her about on his icy horns,
And ripped her spring jersey.
Then the poet stopped when he heard the SOUND
OF the Kansas zsphyr's whispers.
Which seemed to say as they moaned around:
And the wind blew through her whiskers."
And it bowed and it bowed and IL showed and
it showed,
TIL the ground was all DER kivered.
With winding sheet of snow and sleet,
And the poet groaned and shivered.
Through crevice and crack with stealthy tread
Jack Frost crept into his room,
And smote b i'm as he wrote until he was dead:
And thus he went to his doom.
EPITAPH.

Tho froze to death but didn't know it,
