A writer in Blue and Gray says that dur
ing the civil war be once attempted, unsuc-
cessfully, a practical joke. Not far from
the picket line was an old cemetery. aud
the writer, who was then corporal, had
been told laughable stories Of the panic into
which some Of the men had lately been
thrown
\ rumor had somehow got abroad that "A
headless horsemHn bad been seen ia the
neighhorhood after dark One man, it was
reported, had been ~ frightened as to hire
"A brave comrade tn stand his picket fols.im.
One night when the writer was posting
his relief, little before midnight, il came
into his head 70 try the story on the man
whom he was to leave alone in the dark
ness. He told il with as much solemnity
rs he could muster, bat the picket was not
TO be frightened so easily. lie was lust
lighting his pipe and replied between his
whtis:
well (pui), II there's man pun comes
round here pun tonight puff without a
head (pun, pufi), III put head on him."
The picket was not disturbed, and the
writer seems To suspect that this was the
origin of an obscure slang phrase.

The Car of Russia Plaintiff in a Libel
Case at New York.
New YORK, Feb. His Imperial
Majesty, the Car of all the Russian
colonies, Alexander Ill. is plaintiff in
libel case on trial to-day before Judge
Addison Brown in the United States
District Court in Admiralty. The Rus
sian sovereign claims $4,000 damages
against the owners of two steam tugs.
The papers in the case state that during
the recent naval celebration in New York
Harbor, the Russian man-of-war
Dimitri Donski was anchored in North
River, off Forty-eighth street.
Alexander claims that the vessel was
properly manned and officered, the
anchor lights displayed, and alongside
the man of-war was her steam launch, III
which was one of Russia's sailor boys.
Further it asserts that two tugs came

According to the libel the steam launch

damaged. Tugs passed, it is alleged,

Gold Pouring Into the Sub-Treasury
at New York.
NEW YORK, Feb. Up to noon to-day
the sub-treasury had received about S43,-
100000 in gold on account of the new
bonds. The total amount to be received
at the sub-treasury here. out of 9,000,000
(round figures) which the Government
will receive principal and premium) al
together for the bonds, is about $40, 900, 900.
Just how much of the S43, 800 900 in gold
already received here is new gold-that
is, gold that has not been previously
withdrawn out Of the sub-treasury by
the redemption of greenba for the
purpose of paying for the bonds-the
treasury officials were not able to say to-
day. 1t has Deen noticed, however, that
during the last few days the redemption
of greenbacks has been unusually heavy,
as much as 81, 900, 900 having been pre-
sented for that purpose in one lot.
SO far from suffering any drain Of its
gold, the treasury is likely rather to be
used as a dumping-groundt for an over
supply, which seems TO have become bur
densome to many banks. Signs abound
that in some of the larger cities it will be
positive relief to get the plethora of
gold reduced. Offers have been made
lately from several quarters of all gold
the treasury would accept in exchange
for paper of any sort, even silver certiti-
Gates. The trouble is that the supply of
paper is too low to permit compliance.
BALANCE IN THE TREASURY.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE treasury
balance to-day is stated to be Sill, lie. .325,
the first time it has been above the 500, :

TRIAL OF DIR. WEST.

Witness Stand.

Sister and Father of Deceased on the
Witness Stand.
SAN Francisco, Feb. THE gallery
and doors of Judge Wallace's courtroom,
where the West case was on trial, were
thrown open this morning to accommo-
date the ever-increasing throng.
Emma Gilmour, the twin-sister of the
deceased, was placed upon the stand
She identified her sisters purse and hat
pins found in the oil can on the Alameda
County shore. She also Identified the
photograph of the deceased, which was
introduced in evidence. Miss Gilmour
testified to having visited DR.. West and
making inquiries concerning her sister.
West told her that he had not seen her.
John Gilmour, the father of the de-
ceased, was the next witness. He ap-
peared deeply agitated while giving his
testimony and his voice was tremulous.
He testified to having visited DR.. West i'll
company with Mrs. Austin.
Il asked him where my daughter was"
said Gilmour, land he told me she was
dead. | asked him where her body was,
and he told me that her head had been
found at Lime Point L asked him about
her clothes, and he said he had burned
everything. / asked him about her hair,
and he said he had burned that. too.
Mrs. Austin remarked that it was hor-
rible affair, and DR.. West said, L will
never perform another case.'"
Mr.. Gilmour further stated that he had
not seen the skull before calling upon
DR.. West, but he had read about the find
ing of it, and he asked the doctor why he
had broken the skull as was reported.
Defendant replied that it had been broken
on the rocks. Witness subsequently
learned that the skull had not been
broken. He also testified that DR.. West
confessed to him that he had induced
May Howard to state falsely that she had
seen Miss Gilmour on the boat subse-
quent to the finding of the skull.
The District Attorney called for May
Howard and the bailiff stated that she
had been served with an attachment but
was sick in bed at her home in Oakland.
Assistant District Attorney Black then
announced that with the exception of
May Howard's testimony he was pre-
pared to close the case for the people.
The defense declined to permit the
reading of May Howard's testimony as
taken in the Police Court. A continue
ance was therefore asked for, and Judge
Wallace postponed the trial until next
Monday morning at 10 o'clock.
