ADVENTURE WITH A MUMMY.

A French archeologist travelling
among the Andes i'll search of knowl-

to explore some caves III the sides of the
precipces. They We're doubtless ancient
tombs and would probably yield him a
treasure. He selected favorable spot,
therefore, rugged sort of chair or seat
between two leather cords and engaged
two Indians to let him down from the
brow of the precipice. "A descent OF
300 feet made in this way" he tells us,

through the eyeholes of the skulls and

the mummy i'll his arms and signaled 20
the Indians to draw him up. With his
heels he defended himself against the
jutting rocks, and i'll few minutes was
almost on an even with the top. The
Indians knew nothing about his load.
Just then the yellow skull of one of
their ancestors appeared before their

Cincinnati had frustrated marriage
last week a couple went to a clergy
man to be married. As everything APP
peared all right the minister agreed to
say the ceremony, and the couple stood
up. When the rite was hardly half said
the girl, who is unusually pretty, threw
back her head and burst into rollicking
laughter. The preacher WAS astonisbed.
He returned the license to the groom,
who ran from the room. The bride,
who was not then laughing, explained
that she was only three months over
from Europe and could not speak Il
word of English. The groom did not
know a word of German. They had car
ried on theiI eourtship by signs. While
the ceremony was in progress 1t occurred
to her it was very funny to marry a
man to whom she could not speak, and
she could not help laughing. he license
was returned to the Probate Court and

Wonderful Presence of Mind.

Mrs. II. K. Saunders of New York,
who was in the boat which capsized at
Boothba, IIarbor. Saturday night, and
her son who was drowned, were people
well known in Augusta, and were rela-
tives of Mrs. Fred Hamlen. Mrs. Saun-
ders is daughter of Mrs. II. w. Fuller
who was at Mouse Island, when the
squall came ard saw the saiboat con-
tanning her daughter and grandson when
it went over. Her maiden name was
l.add and she WAS an Augusta lady, her
husband, the late II. W. Fuller, being Il
brother Of Chief Justice Fuller.
Mr.. Hsmlin visited the bereaved ladies
Sunday, at Mouse Island. He states
that Mrs. Saunders was in the cabin
with her son when she heard the captain
exclaim ''there is squall coming"
She stepped out of the door To look when
the boat was struck and overturned in a
twinhllng, going down stern foremost.
She endeavored to pull the boy out OF
the cuddy, but WAS too late. II she
could have got him out, she thinks she
could have saved him as she was an ex-
cellent swimmer. Mrs. Saunders was
dragged beneath the surface by a rope
which was entangled about her feet.
With wonderful presence of mind
while under the water she relieved her
self of a cape about her shoulders and
the rope, and rising to the surface got
hold Of the cushion aud WAS saved.

OPPOSE THE BRIDGE BILL
AssEMBLYMEN VOTE AGAINST TIKI
SAN FRANCISCO MEASURE.

SACRAMENTO, March 9.-Rather a heated
opposition was aroused in the Assembly
by the bills granting the Harbor Commits
sioners power to re-arrange the property at
the junction of Market, Clay and East
streets.
Dixon fathered the bills in the Assembly
and explained that the first bill was in
tended to enable the construction of
bridge for foot-passengers to the ferry
depot. He told of the advantage of having
the property laid out and improved.
The other members, however insisted
upon talking of all three bills at the same
time. The fact was developed that they
were opposed to trading one piece of prop
erty for another.
Wade of Napa thought that they should
condemn ans buy any property it wanted
and pay cash for it.
He was opposed to the Harbor Commits
sioners selling or trading any of the States
property along the front, though. When
the question was put on the final passage
of the bill only fifty-four votes were cast.
Only twenty-seven were cast for the bill.
As it takes forty-one votes to carry
Senate bill Dixon changed his vote from
"aye" to "no" and gave notice of intention
to reconsider The other bills were then
passed on the file till there should be
friends of the measure present.

SACRAMENTO, March 9.-The salary raid

to practically restore the old high figures
Under this law the Assessor, it is claimed

Melted him. The Assessor is allowed $4100
more for deputies than was allowed two
years ago. The salary of the Treasurer is
put back at the old figure of $4,000 and that
of District Attorney is restored to $500.
Assemblyman Fassett, who has fought
for retrenchment in county government, is
very much displeased with the action of
the Senate. ~ understand" said he, THAT
with the exception of the Sheriff the old
salaries have been restored. Our people
desired that with the exception of Assessor
the offices should net the office-holderS
about $4,000 year, and that the office OF
Assessor should net about $4,000. / do not
think the Assembly will submit to these
changes.
~ shall most earnestly oppose the
amendments. What reason is there for
placing the salaries of the officers of Ala
LilSOst NOuiIlg at SO IluS1 lS
than those of Los Angeles? The counties
are about equal in wealth and population.
In fact, Los Angeles in the very bill under
discussion ranks as class to Alameda's
class 3, yet the salaries of Alameda are
much higher"
Assemblyman Fassett represents rural
Alameda. His home is in Livermore. He
is greatly annoyed at the persistent and,
as it now seems, successful attempts of the
Oakland lobby to maintain an extravagant
county government.
Senator Beard declared that the salaries
raised from the agreed figures in the county
government bill by amendment to-day
were those of the Assessor, the Treasurer
and the District Attorney.

SCALPERS HON THEIR SUIT.
an Old Case Settled by the Courts in
Chicd0O,

an Old Case Settled by the Courts IL,
Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 9.-Judge Adams to-day
decided the case of Milford and Macken-
zie, the ticket brokers, against the Chicago
and Alton Railroad, finding the issue for
the plaintiffs and fixing their damages at
$10,854.
Milford and Mackenzie were the firm of
brokers who, in 1880, had an office in this
city and also in st. Louis. In that year
they bought of the Alton road $4,000
worth of tickets at 80 cents on the dollar
the tickets being good over the Alton road
between Kansas City and Bloomington,
thence east over the Lake Erie and West
ern. Shortly after the purchase of the tick
cts passenger-rate war set in, and for two
years the tickets were unstable. In June,
1882, after the brokers had disposed of about
half the tickets, the Lake Erie and Western,
which had gone into the hands of re-
ceiver, reported that the agreement be-
tween itself and the Alton by which the
tickets had been made good over that line
east OF Bloomington was dissolved, and
the tickets became worthless. Judge
Adams held, in effect, that the tickets
were contracts made by the Alton.
