REYNARD N HARD LUCK.
Pursued by Hunters, Ils Ran Into the Hoi
Of Big Eigh1inE Coon.

Pursued by Hunters. lie Ran Into the Hole
Of Big EixhtinE Coon.
Some Dutchess county fox hunters
had q curious experience the other day
while ont with the hounds. The hounds
ran an old fox dog so fast through the
snow that ia less than IN hour he
''holed," and the hunters had hard
work to dig through the frozen ground
and locate him, says the New York Sun.
The hickory withe. in which the fox
il expected to insert his fangs 50 that
he can bo drawn out, was inserted, bnt
It proved utterly useless in this case,
and it was agreed that something was
radically wrong with the fox, especially
as the hickory when it was pulled out
of the hole found to be covered with .
bloody foam. Growls and snarls were
heard In the hole, and the hunters
could see the red fur of the fox occa-
sionally as he twisted and turned in
his narrow quarters. The famous '.old
man" of the party at last pluckily
reached in, and taking hold Of the hide
with his left hand, drew the fox slowly
toward him, slipping as he did 20 his
the foxs throat with all his strength.
Then. holding the red chap up, he ex-
hibited badly whipped fox. Reynard's
lower jaw was broken and hung down
sideways on his blood-stained breast.
The long, red tongue. cruelty torn and
quivering, added ghastly grin to as
wicked-looking . countenance as the
hunters ever beheld. He was knocked
on the head instantly so as to end his
misery, and the hunters then proceeded
to finish the author of this mutilation,
q tremendous male coon.
This big fellow gave . great battle.
The narrow entrance to the hole pre-
vented any use Of gun, aud it was
only after severe and exciting work
that he was finally dragged out and
thrown to the dogs. Even then he
nearly whipped them all, and . crow
bar had to be used to dispatch him.
He weighed twenty-four and three
quarter pounds, and was in magnificent
condition, and that the fox was no
match for him the appearance of Rey-
nard plainly showed. They had evi-
IDENTIFY been fighting to the death,
jaws locked, while the hunters were
digging, and thus the inability of the
fox to fasten his teeth in the hickory
withe was fully explained. The fox
must have made q poor defense. rs there
were no serious wounds on the coon,
save those inflicted, probably, by the
hounds. The coons gameness was
something phenomenal. Not once did
he show the slightest sign Of fear, but
actusily walked UP to the dogs, like .
ministure grizzly bear. The hunters
almost regretted killing 20 brave crea-
tur0.

Ar. Thomas Commerford Martin has
IN artacle on Nikola Tesla and his In.
veutions IN the Century. Mr.. Martin
quotes Tesla himself to the following
effect:
I'm connection with resonance effects
and the problem of transmission Of en-
orgy over single conductor, l would
Gay . few words on subject which
constantly fills my thoughts, and which
concerns the welfare Of all. Imean the
transmission of ineligible signals, or
perhaps even power, to any distance
without the use Of wires. 1 am becom-
ing daily more convinced of the prac-
ticability of the scheme; and though /
know full well that the majority Of
scientific men will not believe that such
results can be practically and immedi-
ately realized, yet think that all con-
slider the developments of recent years
by number Of workers to have been
such as to encourage thought and ex-
pertinent in this direction. My convic-
ton has grown 90 strong that no
longer look upon this plan Of energy or
intelligence transmission as q mere
Theoretical possibility, but as serious
problem in electrical engineering which
must be carried out some day.
1.-THE idea of transmitting intelligence
without wire Is the natural outcome Of
the most recent results of electrical In
vestigations. Some enthusiasts have
expressed their belief that telephony to
any distance by induction through the
air Is possible. cannot stretch my
imagination so far; but l do firmly be-
lieve that it Il practicable to disturb by
means Of powerful machines the cleo
trostatic condition of the earth. and
thus transmit Ineligible signals and
perhaps power. In fact. what is there
against the carrying out of such
scheme? We now know that cleo
trio vibration may be transmitted
through single conductor. Why, then,
not try to avail ourselves of the earth
for this purpose? We need not be fright
ened by the idea of distance.
ITO the weary wanderer counting
the mile posts the earth may appear
very large; but to that happiest of all
men, the astronomer. who Razes at the
heavens, and by their standard judges
the magnitude of our globe. It appears
very small. And so I think 1t must
seem to the electrician; for when he
considers the speed with which an elec-
trio disturbance is propagated through
the earth. all his ideas of distance must
completely vanish. A point of great
importance would be frst to know what
L. the capacity of the earth, and what
charge does It contain of electricity"

THE FRENCnksAN'S MINE.
Another In the Series Of Beautiful Lost
Mine Stories.


Another In the Series Of Beautiful Lost
Mine Stories.
The long-sought Frenchmen's gold
mine in the Harqua Halas has been re-
discovered, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. The roads leading thereto
from Bonanza camp, thirty-five milo:
north, and from all points in the dis
trict, are black with prospectors,
mules, burros and packets. Two sacks
of ore, worth seven hundred dollars,
were first found, then a couple of old
and decayed pack saddles, and finally
the ore dump close to the mouth of the
long-abandoned mine. The dump con-
tains enough rich ore to keep mill =
operation for many months, while u
entering the mine an enormous body l.
exposed to view. Of all the famous
lost mines on the coast, none have been
more sought after. None have been
believed to be richer, and certainly
mono were less mythical, for among the
old prospectors there was absolutely
no doubt of its existence.
Twenty-Five years ago three French
men, whose names nobody remembers,
if anybody ever knew, set out from
Yuma in northeasterly direction. In
few months they returned laden with
gold, which aroused the usual degree
Of excitement produced in frontier
town by such an event. When the
Frenchmen left town the usual effort
was made to follow them, but, rs
usual, the followers were eluded-
Again the Frenchmcn returned, laden
as before With golden treasure, and
when they went away the pursuit was
renewed, with the former result. For
the third time the Frenchmcn visited
Yuma, weighed down with gold, and
got away again unobservcd in spite of
the hungry vigilance of a hundred gold
seekers. This time they left five thou
sand dollars worth of gold bullion
with W. 8. Hooper, a merchant Of
Yuma. and now manager of the Occi-
dental hotel of San Francisco. De-
parting. they were never again seen at
Yuma. When the months rolled into
year there was no doubt that they had
been murdered by the Indians, and the
whole country was overrun in a search
for their skeletons. for it seemed likely
that the marvellous mine could not be
far from their bones. Nothing was
ever found, and ten years ago the ac-
tive search for the lost Frenchmen was
abandoned.
One of the most earnest Investigators
of this golden secret was Kirkland,
after whom Kirkland valley was
named. He remained with the old In
dams who hung about Halomas and
Yuma, but the only thing he ever
learned threw no light on the location
Of the mine, but removed all doubt
concerning the fate of the Frenchmen.
An Indian told him that they had been
murdered, not wantonly, but because
they refused to take good advice. He
said their gold digging was watched
with disfavor by the Indians, who kept
warning them to get out of the coun-
try, and when they left for Yuma the
last time they were told that their re-
turn would be attended by fatalities.
They disregarded the information and
came back with two other prospectora
The whole party were murdered.

THE GENERAL LIST, HOWEVER,
PROVED SUPERIOR TO THE
WEAKNESS.
TRUST SCORED A BIG LOSS.
The CLOSE WAS AT THE LOWEST
POINT FOR THE
DAY.
Tobacco COnspiratOrs Have De-
served All That They Have
Received.

NEW YORK, April THE feature of
speculation today was the fact that the gen.
erai list proved superior to pronounced weak
ness in American Tobacco. The stock men
tloned, even reduced to full shares sur
passed any Of the list in extent of trading,
and scored an exceptional loss of 4N per
cent closing at the lowest of the day. This
development was regarded generally in stock
exchange circles, with feeling akin to salts
1action, as demonstrating that the conspira-
tors in the stock had oyershot their mark
and were the victims of their own machina-
tlons The break in Tobacco was variously
explained. One report was that the traders,
detecting attempts the part of insiders to
unload had been taking away the market 1t
was finally stated that a meeting of the au-
thor1tes OF the stock exchange had been
called to investigate the methods of the
management of the American Tobacco com
pany. The last report was denied by an Of
tcer of the exchange. Influences upon the
general market were of negatively favora-
bic character The initial prices, while ir-
regular, displayed an improving tendency
and important fractional gains occurred Re-
alizations later caused sharp recessions in
some instances. London was a conspicuous
seller of st. Paul, Union Pacific and other
lnternationals The selling movement was
exhausted before midday, and under the
leadership of Sugar and Union Pacific, most
OF the early declines were recovered. The
market closed firm with fractional gains.
The total sales of stocks were 1854 469 shares,
including the following: American Tobacco,
$500 shares; American Sugar, 1S,30O Bur
lington Quincy, 67O0; Chicago Gas trust
receipts, $500; General Electric, $500; Louis

MILWAUKEE, LOOKING WEST,
BOzeman Thinks 1t Has It's Eve or
That Town,

The following extract from Western paper
may be read with some interest by the friends
OF travelling Passenger Agent Pat Scanlan
OF the Milwaukee road, who has just returned
from trip to the far West:
P. II. Scanlan, travelling agent of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad was in
the city last week. He came ostensbly to
settle up with the local railroad agent and to
see that his road is not getting the double
cross. newspaper with less dscernment
and rustic about it would have given him a
two-line personal notice, and let it go at that
But the Chronicle, being wide-awake and
up-to-date sheet, sees more flaming signifi-
canoe in Mr.. Scanlans visit than is generally
acknowledged.
We tried by our persuasive arts and bland
ishments, and by the further aid of a Dutch
cocktail, to get Mr.. Scanlan to open I'D and
tell us what was nearest to his heart but
with that characteristic reticence so pro-
nounced with all railroad men, especially
when there has just been lot of sheep killed
by the snow plow. he was unresponsive and
failed TO vbrate and twitter under our master
ly and delicate touch. More beer might have
been fetched him. but we give it out straight
that we are not the treasurer of the chamber
of commerce and cannot be expected to play
chords requiring the further extension of our
score.
However. enough was learned from Mr.
Scanlan to make us sure that the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul has feverish designs
upon Bozeman.
In fact, it would take but word to start
this fame into bright blaze. And we think
we betray no confidence when we say that the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul, if sufficient
land grant and bonus were raised. would build
a branch direct from ST. Paul to Bozeman.

Trunk-LOcal Railroad News
and Notes.

The members of the state railroad and ware
Rouse commission returned yesterday from
Duluth, where they visited the local inspec-
ton department and looked over the ground
generally preparatory to the movement which
marks the opening of navigation The men,
bers were accompanied by Grain Inspector
Clausen.
The commissioners report that they found
most If not all the elevators filled with wheat
and coarse grain, such as oats corn, barley
and fax. All this will be started on it's way
down the lakes when the ice disappears, and
1t is expected that by September all the term
inal elevators will be nearly empty in spite
OF the fact that even now the farmers are
shipping in grain to empty their own elevators
for the coming crop. The statement is made
that since Aug. 81 no less than 5000 cars of
fax seed have been received at Duluth and
west Superior making them together easily
the largest primary fax market in the world.
While in Duluth the commissioners busted
themselves almost exclusively with matters
pertaining to- the local inspection department.

The Most Exciting Session KNOWN
for Several Months.

There was about the most exciting session
here today that has been witnessed in
months. There was no session at Chicago
and this market was left to itself Trading
began with May wheat selling at 621sc, just
about where it left off yesterday During the
first hour it had sold up to 63lsc. Then on
a lack of buying and considerable wheat for
sale for the purpose of taking profits there
was slight reaction which brought the price
to a point somewhat below the 63c mark.

the best buyers while the country was also
