Last Tuesday evening young

approaching the Hotel Central
While on the walk near the pump
ho fell Hat upon his back. His hands
were thrown straight out from his

he had epileptic fts. He was picked
up and taken to the Washington
House aud cared for. DR.. Hassingcr
was summoned and rendered the
medical aid ecessary for the case.
After reg aiming consciousness, it
was learned that he was an English
Sailor. For thrse days he ha d been
travelling on foot, and during this
time had nothing to eat. All the
money he had was % cents and he
was too proud to ask for aims. He
was well dressed and very courteous
and polite. Daring his fit, he fire.
quently muttered something in
Spanish. The charitable people of
the town raised a purse, bought a
ticket for him to Pitt sburg where
he thinks his services will be re.
quired to help fit up a ship for the
G.. A. r. Encampment.
THE STORY OF HIS LIFE.

The Springfield (Mo.) Democrat
editorially says: 1.-The average
Missouri Republican newspaper is
now perspiring in labored editorial
endeavors to prove, because Demo
Gratis were discomfitted in a number
of ineonsequential municipal elec.
lions last Tuesday, that the people
of this State have recorded a con.
domination of Democracy. A Dem.
ocratic majority of 10000 in grand
old Missouri next fall will be the
answer of the people to all such
pibberish.

ference committee until the adjourn
ment of Congress before giving up.
Things look squally, however, for
the tariff bill just now. The first OF
the traitors has spoken, and his bold
break will encourage others. His
usefulness as a Democrat, however,
and his influence as a Democrat are
destroyed. He can never recoup
himself in the estimation or restore
the confidence of his Democrat col
leagues in his integrity and Democ-
racy again. The Senator who told
the Republic correspondent that he
intends to offer a resolution exclud-
ing Hill from Democratic caucuses
in future said further that he would
like to slap his face if he had a
chance, "but,' said he, "Hill is a
noncombatant. He won't fight. |
discovered this early in his Senator
lal career when [ saw Allison of
Iowa shake his finger in Hills face
and tell him ne was a --- liar and
saw Hill sneak off without resenting
it."
This is but a specimen of the
feeling against Hill in Democratic
circles tonight. The speech will
have a good effect in one way. 1t
will bring all the Democratic Sena-
tors except those who are fighting
the tariff bill into closer and more
confidential relations with Mr.. Cleve-
land. Hill's assault on the admin
istration has popularized it palpably
with the Democrats in Washington
this evening.
