A. G. Alton, OF New Jerusalem,
Texas, was arrested at New Orleans
last week upon a charge of insanity.

was not satisfied with the way Grover
Cleveland was running the country
and was on his way to Washington to
kill him, when he was intercepted by
the officers. He was locked up in a

FAIR. Death nearly Causes = Panic,


The death OF James G. FAIR nearly
caused a panic in San Francisco wheat
market last Saturday. T~hirty-six
thousand tons OF wheat changed hands
in two hours, and had an afternoon
session OF the Board been held it would
have resulted in the heaviest sale oi
wheat for one day ever in that market.
II has long been surmised that James
G.. Fair and the Luning estate had been
backing L. w. McGlaulin in an i'm
mense wheat deal. About two hun
dred thousand tons Of wheat represent.
ing an outlay Of So, 900 900 had been
purchased by McGlauhin at prices
ranging from 90 cents to 81 20. On
Saturday morning wheat opened al
961a cents and McGlauiin commenced
to unload. A rumor was circulated
that he was unloading wheat in heavy
bulks, and other holders followed suit.
When the session closed wheat had
dropped to 9334 cents. McGlaufin
would not admit that he was acting
for Fair, but said he had received or.
ders from his principals to unload, and
he did so.

Laborirx I'm nigh Attitudes.

Some curious facts are brought to
light on the capabilities of mem to labor
at high attitudes during the construc-
ton of the Peruvian Central Railroad.
This line starts at Lima and, proceed
ing inland, reaches its highest point at
the tunnel OF Algeria, l 5,645 feet above
sea level. 1t is stated that men were
able to do a fair "sea level" days
work as long as the altitude did not
exceed 5000 to 10000 feet above sea
level, but beyond this there was a sud-
den falling off in the work Of one-fourth
to one-third up to heights Of 1900
feet, and at still higher elevations 100
men were required to do work easily
done by 80 at sea level.

what Becomes Of Poker Money 2
Where does all the money go that
is lost at poker7 I wish somebody
would tell me" said Harry Dale Of Gin
cinnati, at the Riggs. THAT has al
ways been a standing mystery with
me, as I guess that it has been with
thousands. Somebody must win and
somebody must lose; but what goes
with the money! Who gets the ben
eft Of the winnings7 On my word, |
could never see into il. In every reg
ular game there will always be one or
more strong players, who generally get
the best OF it, and SO there is q contin-
gent Of chronic losers. But / never
saw the recognized successful poker
player yet who appeared to have any
more cash than the rest Of his sssoci-
ates. I've heard it said often by some
unlucky chap, abiding to another
lucky devotee Of draw, That fellow
has kept me broke for the last ten
years. but at the same time there was
little, if any, difference in their 6nan-
| cial standing, and so I'd like to find
out what becomes Of the money that's
LOST. "-Washington Post.

recent Sunday. A young man who
carried a collecting plate after the SER
vice, before starting put his hand in
his pocket and plsced, as be supposed,
a shilling into the plate and then
passed it round among the congrega-
ton, which included many young and
pretty girls. The girls, as they looked
upon the plate, all seemed astonished
and amused, and the young man, tax
ing a glance at the plate, found that he
had put, instead OF a shilling, a con-
~versation lozenge on the plate, with
the words, "Will you marry me ?"
in red letters staring everybody in the
face, while one Of the congregation had
capped it by a second lozenge. on which
was printed, Name the day."-Lon-

Asleep ON n Bottom Of the River.

Asleep on the Bottom Of the River.
A strange incident in connection
with the work Of clearing away the de-
bris OF the recently wrecked bridge at
Louisville is related of the submarine
diver, whose duty it is to descend to
the bottom of the river and fasten
chains about the heavy ironwork, be-
sides placing dynamite charges in spots
where the most desirable results may
be had. Yesterday he remained be-
meath the surface for more than an
hour. There was no response when
signals were made, and there was un-
easiness felt. At length the diver who
goes on as a relief reported for duty,
and he was at once sent down to ascer-
tain what al wrong. In a few min
utes both men came up. The diver
was found seated on a pile of iron fast
asleep.-Marine Journal.

Death of ex-senator Fair.


Ex-senator James G.. Fair died in
San Francisco last Friday night.
Senator Fair has been in poor health
for some time suffering from asthma.
A few days ago he caught cold while
going out in a rain storm to view some
OF his property improvements at North
Beach. The cold did not apparently
affect his lungs but settled in his kid
neys. In the evening he was feeling
better than for the past few days and
his death was entirely unexpected.
Senator Fair was about sixty -four years
old. His death was due to compiled.
tons Of kidney and stomach troubles.
His only son, Charles G.. Fair, whom
he disinherited about a year ago, was
with his father at the time Of his death,
a reconciliation having been affected
a short time ago. Senator Fair was
| born in Ireland and was United States
| Senator from Nevada. He made his
fortune in the Comstock lode and was
a member OF the famous Bonanza firm
Of Flood, Mackay, Fair and O'Brien.
He largely increased his wealth by in
vestments in San Francisco and Cali.
fornia real estate and is estimated al
between 500, OOO, 5000 and 10000, 900.
Charles Fair, his only son, is said to
have Bright's disease, and doctors say
he cannot live more than a year. He
recently married a San Francisco wo'
man and, as they have no children,
she will probably inherit Charley Fairs
portion.
