far more widespread speculation was
begun in the Leadville properties.
which was brought about through the
discovery and rapid development OF
lead carbonate and high-grade silver
ores at Leadville, Colo. This was
started in 1878, and ran along until
well into 1851, after which time min
ing share speculation gradually dwin-
died until it dropped out of sight al
most entirely. During the period OF
the great excitement the entire coun-
try felt the excitement acutely, and
the fever was just as pronounced IN
New York as anywhere else. The
transactions Oh what Fas then known
as the New York Mining Exchange
ran up as high as 100000 shares
day, and seats in the board COM
manded as much as $500. Things
went along merrily and uproariousiy

stocks locally, at about IL cents per
share, then ruling in the neighborhood

was not long delayed, and when 1t

disastrous as TO be still quite fresh in
the minds Of the general public.

powder in each and then rammed home
as many cans of bareback as would
equal in weight an ordinary cannon-baH.
and that was not a great many. I as
sure you In one OF the guns We put
four cans OF tomatoes This we con-
sidered an experiment. as we had little
hope that such fluid stuff would survive
the impact of falling IN the city. but IL
was worth trying We pointed the guns.
and Just before the lanyard OF the first
one was pulled our old negro gunner ran
a few rods down the hill. where he would
be below the line OF smoke and able to
see where our noves shot struck
The first gun TO be fired happened 10
be the one we had loaded with tomatoes
The gunner pulled the lanyard, there was
a roar and a puff of smoke that chscured
our sight for an instant. then II blew
away and we say. running up the Nh

head TO foot with what looked ike blood,
while he waved his arms wildly and
shrieked. I'm killed, I'm killed o Lord,

ed and ran down toward him He sun
screamed and shrieked and fell down IN
a faint as he saw US. We rushed up 10
him, and then every man of Us burst into
a laugh that would have walked the dead.
1t reused old Tom. who opened his eyes
and shrieked the louder when he saw our
apparently inhuman levity. As soon as
we were able TO speak or move. We pick
ed the old negro up. stood him on his
feet, 10 assure him that he was still
alive. and then ordered him 10 scrape the
tomatoes off himself He was the most
thoroughly bedaubed specimen l ever
saw. You see the heat OF the discharge
of the cannon had melted the solder in
the tomafo-cans and they had simply
dropped TO pieces on leaving the gun,
while their contents had been propelled
just far enough down the hill 10 spatter

We were about 20 lombard them from the

as there would have been no use in max

What they thought when they found the
bareback in them I never learned, but
I suppose it only confirmed their idea
that We were going to attack them"

GUNS LOADED WITH FOOD.

Major Thomas G. Farquhar of Annis-
ton, Ala, on a visit to Buffalo recently,
told an Express reporter a humorous
story of the war During the siege of
Vicksburg he was in command Of Con-
federate regiment outside of General
Grants lines. I'VE had plenty OF food, &"
he said. 1T was a fertile territory that
we had to draw from, ard there was no
difficulty in getting enough TO eat. We
intercepted poorly guarded supply-tra-n
of the Yanks and had enough TO feed
regiment for a month stored right in our
little camp. In spite of Yankee vigil
ance. spies would now and then steal out
OF the city, and we saw and talked with
several OF them Each had a pitiful story
TO tell of how the inhabitants OF Ficks-
burg suffered for food. and We racked our
brains 70 devise some means Of sending
them a portion of our plenty.
An old negro who was acting as
gunner under me was the one 20 suggest
what looked at first like a feasible plan.
His idea was to load supplies into the four
cannon which we had. and fire them bod
lily over the heads Of the Yankees into
the city itself. II was a great idea, and
after some study we decided that 1t was
worth while making the experiment The
supplies which We had captured consist
ed Of bareback in tins. that would 60
into the guns like grape-shot, and We
calculated that by giving them plenty
Of elevation We could send the food d.
rectly into the city. where even such
morsels would be welcome. I vas IL

my consent 10 what an older and more
experienced officer would probably have
frowned upon as being contrary 70 al

A New Trial Denied Durrant's.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.-Judge
Murphy this morning deniedTheodcre
Durrant's motion for new trial, and
ordered the prisoner back to Jail. A
large force OF deputy sheritfs was
necessary to aid in guarding the ell
trance. The crowd was as large
as during the trial. The court was
satisfied no error had been made,
and that Durrant's trial had been fair
and impartial; the jury's verdict had
been ip accordance with the law and
evidence. Durrant was then ordered to
stand up. He rose, pale and scowling,
but as impassive as ever, The court
then pronounced sentence, which was
that Durrant be kept ip close confine-
ment by the sheriff in the county Jail,
and within tea days be delivered ia
the warden to San Quentin state
prison, there TO be kept In close con-
tinement until such day, to be after
ward fixed, when he should be hang
ed in San Quentin until dead. Dur
rant heard his seatance Without u
twitching muscle, staring at tht Judge
dehantly, then he sat lo@n, made
some remark 10 his father and smiled.
Dickinson, for the defendant, said he
would this this alteru r0n give formal
notice of an appeal TO the supreme
court.
