A funny story is being told Of certain

servant and heard OF a registry office in 8
certain square ON the confines Of Blooms
bury. Thither she drove in much state
the other afternoon, and on arriving at
the square in question her fo0tman asked
a policeman where was the agency" The
man in blue majestically waved the equip
age to q certain house. Her ladyship was
admitted.
EFI have ceIne about a young man, 1" she
remarked to the bland proprietor.
s. Yes, madam, quite understand, " was
the reply
''He must be sober and honest and used
to good families.
''Oh, yes, madam. I think we have the
very thing on our books. Would you like
to see his photograph

cried Lady -. 81 suppose the mans

ooh, yes, madam, a very fine man. A
fortune is no object, I imagine?'
This last with movement of the hand
toward the carriage with its paving horses
that could be seen through the window.
"a fortune with my footman?' literally
shouted the Irish lady.
Then the proprietor explained that his
was a matrimonial agency, and that the
registry office was on the other side Of the

HONOLULU, Sept. s, via San Fran
cisco, Sept 13.-Forty-one cases Of
cholera have been reported to date,
with thirty-fve deaths. The disease
attacks only the natives. Every effort
is being made to stamp it out. No
island steamers are allowed to leave
port without first remaining in quar-
antine for five days. Passengers must
undergo the same ordeal.
The council Of sGate held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and evening and
after appropraating $4,000 for ex-
penses incurred by the board OF health.
the matter of pardoning political pris-
oners came up for consideration. The
executive recommended that Carl
WideInan, Cupid" the four Lane
boys, Juuius Kaae, Joe Widdlefield,
and thirty-nine others. be pardoned.
The council adopted the recommends
ton.
At the same meeting the queen was
pardoned also, and the others will be
liberated as soon as the pardons are
made out Bowler, Richard. Walker,
Seward, Wilcox and other long-term
prisoners will remain in Jail The
government will allow all exiles to re-
turn to the country with the exception
of the Ashford brothers, now in San

HUNDREDS ARE HURT.
Grand Stand at Louisville Col
lapses and Falls.
At Least 10000 People Were
Seated on It.
NO ONE WAS KILLED.
Many Are Crushed Between
Boards and Timbers.
NO ONE WAS KILLED.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 13.-Whils
1000 people were watching the fire..
works along the river front at 10
o'clock last night portion of the
grand stand, on which were seated at
least 10, 0O0 people, gave way and many
were injured No fatalities have been
reported. Among those injured are;
John Farris, farmer, of Brookline Mo-,
Post No. PIG, foot crushed and ampu-
tation necessary; Colonel Joseph Pack
ard, editor New Albany Tribu ne. old
est editor in Indi ma, foot crushed and
ankle badly sprained.
The portion of the grand stand
which fell was about 400 feet long and
sixty feet wide. 1t was the lower
part and only elevated about two feet
Immediately behind this part were
seats elevated eight to twenty feet.
On the entire stand there were so, 900
people.
That no one was killed is one of the
marvels. Had the seats been elevated
to any great distance from the pave
ment many deaths must have resulted.
As it was the platform on which the
seats were placed swerved to the rear
and then settled to the ground with
crash. As it careened, the planks of
which the seats were made were forced
together and the feet and legs of hum
dreds of the spectators were caught as
IN huge trap.
The noise of the exploding bombs
and fireworks and the cheering of the
crowd was so great that only those adj
jaeent to that portion of the stand
which fell could hear it. Had it be-
come generally known panic would
have followed. AS to the exact num-
Der of people injured it will probably
never be known. -Four policemen who
were standing at that part OF the
stand said that they saw from fifty to
seventy-fve persons taken away by
friends in vehicles
A number of Grand Army veterans
who were witnesses of the accident
said they aided large numbe of peo-
pie who had been bruised and injured
about the legs to carriages and sent
them to their hotels and homes. They
did not stop in the excitement to get
names or addresses.

CANNERYIN EVERY COUNTY

Farmers Alliances Talking of Utilizing
the Fruis and Vegetables Going to
Waste.
J. & Gray is in the city from an ex-
tended trip over Kansas. Dir. Gray is
connected with the live stock interests
of Chicago. aud has been looking after
those interests in that portion of Kansas
east of the Dinety-seventh meridian and
south of the Kansas river.
Mr. Gray says that the farmers ia that
section have estimated that enough
peaches, apples, and tomatoes have
been wasted thus far in this season Of
1885 to have paid the first cost OF one or
more canning establishments in every
county in the south eastern part of the
state.
To prevent this loss in coming years
the members of district alliances are
planning to put in canneries on the CO.
operative plan in most of the counties in
the district mentioned, while in a few
counties the matter has progressed so
far that Mr.. Gray saw letters of inquiry
to eastern manufacturers as to cost of
plant, etc.

He Has Gone Hence.

The department presided over by our
horse editor will be found missing from
this issue. while the horse editor him
self is missing from his accustomed
desk in our sanctum. One day last week
he went over to Lone Jack to look over
a herd Of cattle, and when about ready
to leave for home he got into wrangle
with fellow named Joe Patton, who
lives at Lost Pine. Patton was backed
by man named Gilmore, who hangs
around Lone Jack most of the time.
The two men rolled into one would not
make decent half breed, and had our
horse editor showed his grit they would
have run away from him. We had al
ways taken him for man of sand, but
he proved to have sawdust in his craw
instead He not only let the pair of cow
ards back him down before a crowd. but
he fed for home and ran before them
for five miles.
Fifteen minutes after his arrival we
gave him the bounce and telegraphed
to New Mexico for man to take his
place. Any horse editor on the staff of
this paper may take cover if attacked,
but he must not run. If he can't shoot
faster and straighter than the other man,
its his business to die as bravely as he
tan aud give us the privilege of burying
him and publishing his biography. M.

LONDON. Sept. 13.-Replying to an
invitation extended to him by Mr.
George Peel, secretary of the Gold
Standard association, and son of Wis
count Peel, formerly speaker of the

views on the question of bimetallism,
Mr.. Gladstone writes that he has not
altered the opinions which he ex-
pressed in parliament two and one
half years ago. He adds that he re-

passing humors, doomed to nullity and
disappointment. He is convinced, he
says, that if London stands firm for
the gold standard. no power that BIZ

Ten Thousand People Saw the
Great Race.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 13.~Not only
the grand stand, but the standing
room capacity of the Louisville Driv-
ing and Fair association was taxed
yesterday afternoon. A fast track
and bright sunshine favored the
great pacing race, in which Robert
j., John r. Gentry and Joe
Patchen were to battle for SUI
premacy. At 2:30 o'clock, when
the three horses scored for the open
ing heat, it is estimated that nearly
10000 people were on the ground.
Robert j., the great son of Hartford,
came off victorious, but for the fact
that Joe Patchen went into the air
when within forty yards of the wire,
in the fourth heat, there might posi-
bly, have been another ending. Robert
j., however, was as steady as a clock,
and not once during the four heats did
he go off his feet. The fourth heat,
which was paced in 2:O475, tablished
a new record, being the fastest fourth
heat ever paced or trotted by any
horse,

WICHITA, Kan, Sept. 10. - At Q
o'clock yesterday train robbery oc-
Cured at Curtis, Ok. At that point
four masked men crawled over bluff
onto the Southern Kansas track, and
covering the section hands who were
at work with revolvers, compelled

the spikes from several rails. They were
then ordered to stop the west bound
passenger train, which was due in few
minutes. The men withdrew behind
a protection of rocks, keeping the
railroad hands covered all the time
The train arrived in a few minutes.
