PATHETIC ROMANCE.
1t Comes to Light in the Settlement
of an Estate.

of an Estate.
San Francisco, May GA pathetic
romance has just come - light in the
settlement of the estate of Captain
Frederick G. Clark, who is supposed to
have been lost at sea with the i'll
fated sealing schooner Dagmar in 1878.
He wanted his money to go to his
fiance, but as he failed to make a will
the state of California will get it.
The public administrator has just
filed his final account in the case,
which was placed in his hands first in
September, 1894. Though there is no
legal way by which the dead captains

go to Miss Nellie Almond OF Boston, to
whom he was engaged
Captain Clark first met the young
lady on his return from the civil war.
He and her brother had been COM
panions, and when Ormond was
wounded the captain nursed him faith
fully. BY a strange misfortune Clark
was seriously hurt while in Boston,
and his devoted nurse was Nellie Or
mond. After his convalesence, they
were engaged.
Captain Clark's companions often
heard him speak Of his fancee, and his
business associates heard him say time
and again that he wanted all his
money to go to her if anything ever
should befall him; but as he died with
out making will. and as none of his
relatives can be found, his estate,
which amounts to about $1,000. will go
to the state.

have arrived in this city. They are
Chairman William R. Morrison, of Illi-

and ]. H. Fishback, of Washington.
The session of the committee began
at II O'Clock this morning. The ses-
sions today and tomorrow will be oc-
cupied with taking testimony and
hearing arguments in the cases Of
George L. Castle. who complains that
the Baltimare & Ohio has been dis
eliminating against him and in favor
of his competitors in the matter of
freight rates and transportation facin-
ties in hauling sand and gravel and
other contractors supplies from Indi-
ana points to Chicago; and of the Hill
nois Fruit Growers association. which
complains of unjust discriminate ton on
the part of the Illinois Central Railway
company. Two important cases carried
over the Denver session will be heard
Wednesday, One of them is a cause
celebre'' in current railroad litigation.
1t is the case of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company, which has a plant for
making steel rails at Pueblo and which
has been forced by the railroads to pay
$3.50 hundred on its products from
Denver to the Pacific coast, when the
charge on similar freight from Chi
cago via New Orleans and the South
ern Pacific is only so cents. The rest
Of the week will be devoted to hearing
some important cases from Omaha,
Kansas City, Kearney and st. Louis.

and concluded to see Manca Bros. and

agreed to. Brockbank attached one OF the
flies to a line and dallied with it on the
water, when, quick as a flash, up popped
Mr. Trout, and gobbled it, and Brock

wanted another trial to see if the trout
surely were taken up with the imitation

has had enough, called a halt, and Brock
departed with his new-fangled fly amidst

FocNp A LOST NINE.
Revival of an Old story Caused By
Recent Discoveries.

Tire discovery Of all abandoned
bxhaf1 in Blacksmiths Fork canyon,
sohe county, has revived another of
those lost mine stories with which the
history of this territory is so replete.
According to that story, some fifty
vaa-s ago. long ere the present Set
Tiers had entered and located in the
fertile valley of Cache, three hardy
Drospectors found their way into
Blacksmith's Fork canyon, where they
discovered some gOod-lookIng Sold
Aoat. So well pleased were they with
the surface-showing that they pro-
ceeded to 90 down on small VEIN

had cut the main ledge, which they
found extremely rich in gold, an at

the trio TO fee. Two of them were
irilled bv the pursuing natives, but
one managed 10 make his escape. So

OF the shaft UP with rock ana general

the party returned to the shaft better

a rliDe of ancient origin, the party re-
turned to Logan and within the next
few days will go out again prepared to
make a thorough exploration. It is

those aimed at the convention, seemed
TO catch quickly. but the shots flew in
so many directions that they averaged
up as non-partisan after all.

Only three members of the board of

The properties of this company are
located to the northwest of Milford and
are now being operated under the

past two months the company has

the board of directors to continue the
operation Of the mines on even a more
extensive scale than that which has
been in force since the reopening of
the properties. Shipments of ore have

returns were satisfactory. The Mon

Monterey, Cal, May 6.-The death in
this city of William Tibbetts ended
case which is almost without paral-
lei in history. The deceased was a suf-
ferer from dropsy, but the popularity
is that he was in a state of petrifac-
ton. His body was rigid as stone, the
pricking of a needle made no indenta-
ton in the flesh, and all powers of SEN
sation had disappeared.
Mr.. Tibbets was taken to the German
hospital in San Francisco and nine
physicians made close examinations
and held many consultations to dis
cover the identity of the strange all
ment. They finally pronounced it a
case of nyZoedema. In this disease
the organs of the body partly disap-
pear, or ossify. causing a condition
similar to petrifaction-
No relief could be given the sufferer,
and two weeks ago he was brought
home to die. The end came yesterday
a post mortem examination was
made and it was found that the only
organs intact were the kidneys.
The deceased was a pioneer resident
of this city and sc years of age.
