A NIce Point Of Law.

A nfce point OF law, and one never boz
fore passed upon by the cour.s ct this
State, will follow the filing OF q suit at
Chattanooga by Mary L. Ryder against
Grimm Bros, saloon keepers, in which
she asks for S25, 600 damages, resulting
from the firm named selling her hus-
band intoxicating liquors until he drank
himself to death. Mr.. Ryder died sew
ersl months ago. During his life his
wife had o world of trouble over his
drinking. She finally went TO every
saloon keeper in the city and asked
them not to sell her husband liquor, but
notified Grimm Bros. in writing. The
latter firm disregarded the notification,
however, and continued to sell Ryder
whisky until he died, contrary to Sec
zion of the Tennessee code, which says:
"It shall be unlawful for any persons
engaged regularly or otherwise in the
manufacture or sale Of any spirtuous,
MALI or mixed liquors, their employees,
agents, servants or any person for them,
to sell, give, furnish or to procure for
any person who is an habitual drunkard
any Intoxicating liquors after having

A Novel Invention.

florist in Chattanooga by the name
OF John Karsten has invented a novel
alarm to warn him that his flowers ara
freezing. The climatic conditions OF
East Tennessee are such that man may
sometimes go to bed with the roses In
bloom and wake up and find them COW
cred with snow. OF course that sort Of
thing is hard on florists, and Mr.. Kar-
stem has been losing flowers, which are
money to him, for several years. lie
lay awake nights trying to devise some
means to save himself from such loss,
and finally invented an automatic alarm
worked by the contraction of a thin
piece of steel, which is attached to q
thermometer hung just out Of his win
dow, the thermometer in tLrn being
connected with bell at his bedside by
an insulated wire. Whenever the meH-
curry drops below 45 degrees the steel
snaps and turns on the alarm, the bell
rings above him and the florist gets up
and covers his flowers.

JAMES G. FAIR.
Death Of Another of the Bonanza Kings
of the Pacific Coast.


of the Pacific Coast.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 81. -Ex-United
States Senator James G. Fair died at
11:45 o'clock Friday night at the Lick
house, in this city, from diabetes and
Bright's disease. He took to his bed
last Monday, and had not been con-
scious for any considerable length of
time since then. He had been falling
for some time, and was fully aware of
his critical condition. His only son,
Charles Lewis Fair, was present at his
death. He leaves a fortune estimated
at $40, 600, 600, and by the terms of an
Geographic will, made some two months
ago, this vast sum, it is stated, will be
divided between his three surviving
children, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, of New
York; Miss Virginia Fair, now staying
with her sister in New York. and
Charles L. Fair, of this city.
For a quarter of a century past there
has been no man on the Pacific coast
who has sustained closer relations
with the general public than James G.
Fair.
His career in the United States sem
He was one of California's bonanza
kings and his properties were numer-
Gus and varied. He owned mines and
railroads, and, latterly, he invested
some of his millions in hotel property.
The Lick house, built by the de-
ceased capitalist and observation-disclosures
Lick, in 1868, passed into the hands of
ex-senator Fair some years ago, He
owned two other hotels in San Fran
cisco, including the Occidental, in
which he died.
Ex-senator Fairs domestic troubles,
it is likely, led to his decline. His
son, Charley" Fair, married no
torious woman of the town in San
Francisco two years ago. The son was
disinherited at the time, but was taken
back into his fathers affections to the
extent that an income was set apart for
his use.

A Sensational Ranging.

The DOODLE hanging of Clarence Cox
and John Stanley in Union County re"
Gently was of most sensational nature.
A stockade had been built about mile
from the jail, inside of which the men
were to be hanged, but as the mon were
being brought from the Jail to the place
for execution the large crowd assembled
drove of the guards and tore down the
stockade and both were hanged in the
presence of at least $500 spectators.
The men broke down and confessed to
the killing of the old Snodderly couple
last February. The drop fell at $3.50,
and both men died in 10 minutes from
strangulation. This is the first public
execution in the State since the law was
passed, several years ago, requiring all
hangings to be private. The details on
the scaffold were of the most sensational
character.

Loss of the British Bark Oseo on Holy-
head, I'm the Irish Sea-Drfven Ashore
On the Breaxwater and All Hands Lost
notwithstanding the Efforts of the
Coast Guards.
LONDON, Dec. 31.-The British bark
Oseo was wrecked in gale at Holy
head early yesterday morning. and
with her periShed her entire crew of
twenty-six men. The Oseo was driven
ashore back of the Holyhead break
water. Her signals of distress were
first heard by the coast guard about 4
o'clock in the morning. At that time
it was pitch dark, and great waves
were washing the breakwater.
In spite of the danger of being washed
into the sea the guard proceeded along
the breakwater, and, having rugged up
the rocket apparatus, began firing life
lines in the direction of the wreck.
The faint light of the rockets soon dis
closed the fact that the vessel had
broken in two amidships and that the
main mast had fallen, crushing the
lives out of several of the crew.
A few survivors could be seen cling
ing to each half of the, vessel and
their piteous cries for help could be
heard above the roar of the storm.
After many failures the coast guard
succeeded in firing a line over the
wreck, but by that time all on board
had perished.
A lifeboat vainly tried again and
again to approach the. wreck, Not a
vestige of the bark could be seen at
daylight, and there are no prospects Of
any salvage. Several bodies have been
washed ashore.
The bark was of 1890 tons. She ar
rived at Falmouth December Is from
Taltal, and had been ordered to An
drosSan. c

Sad Fate of a Farmer and His Family In
-. the Northwest Territory.


REGINA, N. w. T., Dec. 30 O-The
house of VIM. Thompson, farmer liv-
ing IS miles north of Regina, took fire
early Friday morning, > while the fami-
ly were asleep. Thompson awoke and
jumped for the door, but before his
wife could reach the door, with one
of the children, she fell down suf-
focated by the heat and smoke
with her night dress on fire. Thomp-
son dragged her out and tore off her
burning night dress, and rushed back
into the flames for his two children.
The youngest was burned to death, and
the eldest is in a very dangerous con-
dition. The mother is badly burned
about the body. Thompson, who was
perfectly nude, with. the thermometer
registering nearly 40 degrees be-
low zero, hastily put the suf-
ferers in the hen-houSe and
started to run over to neighbor's,
IL miles away, without stitch of
clothing on. After running a short
distance his feet started to freeze. He
returned, but all he could find to clothe
himself with was an apron and two
pieces of women's garment, which he
tied around his feet and head. Start
ing out again he struggled forward to
within 100 hundred yards of the house,
when he fell down and was found by
the neighbor frozen to death.

The Secretary for Ireland Repudiates Glenn
eney for Dynamitards.
LONDON, Feb. 1I.-In the debate on the
address in reply to the queens speech
at the opening of parliament Clancy, a
member of the Parnellite section of the
Irish party, moved an amendments to the
address declaring that the time had ar
rived when the ca rs of all prisoners con-
victed under the trcason-felony act, who
have been fer many years in prison for
offeases arising from insurrectionary
movements, can be advantageously recon-
sidered.
The men for whom this clemency Is
asked are men who plotted to blow up
public buildings, bridges, etc, with dyna-
mite Asquith, the home secretary, in re-
Spouse to Clancy declared that in view OF
the atrocious character Of the crimes OF
the inen in prison, which might have in
flicted untold misery upon helpless and
innocent persons, he was unable to advise
the crown to extend the clemency to
which the resolution looked.
Reference having been made to an al
legged pledge given by John Morley for
amnesty to these men Morley arose and
declared ne never gave it; he did say that
France had amnestied communicates, and
that America had amnestied secessionists,
and he did ask whether the only people
for whom there should be no amnesty
were the Irish, but there was not a word
in that expression that any sensible man
could interpret as referring to dynamiters.
Here Mr.. Morley was greeted with cries OF
"Oh! Oh!' from the Parnellite members
and cheers from others.
