JOHN Fl. M'ALLISTER, AT FOUR
SCORE, WOUNDED BY CUPID'S
DART.
SUDDEN FLIGHT FROM TOWN
FOLLOWED BY THE ANNOUNCE
MENT THAT HE IS AGAIN A
MARRIED MAN. -
DETAILS AS YET ARE MEAGER
And the Identity of the BIushing
Bride Is Unknown Even to His
Relatives.

Once in a while little Cupid takes a
notion to toy with hearts so aged that
the fires Of love seem to have no place
there. The little fellow in his reckless
archery often sends a shaft into a
strange place, but rarely into q strang-
er one than that Of certain very we'll
known and very venerable st. Paul
gentleman who is now enjoying a
honeymoon, no one knows where.
John III. McAllister has been a very
familiar person about the Ryan hotel
for years. His tall figure and silver
hair have been constantly seen in that
popular hosiery for these many moons
But now he is gone. Eighty-one years
have passed over the head OF the old
gentleman, but 1t appears that he Is
just as young as ne used to be- Two
weeks ago his son, T. Gates Nc
Allister, living at 500 Westminster
street, missed his father from his usual
haunts. This was just at the close Of
the encampment. Very close upon the
heels of the old gentleman'S diSap-
pearance there came a letter saying
that he had been married, and when
he was ready to do SO he would return.
He said nothing about the circumstan-
ces connected with his tardy wooing.
who his fair one was, or where he had
been married. His announcement was
merely that he had chosen q help mate.
and had united himself with her In
bands OF wedlock. Beyond this his
sons know nothing. 1t is known that
the cantor of the block owned by Mr..
McAlIister, at Fourth and Sibley
streets, went with his employer. No
one knows where he Is or when he
will return. The venerable benedict Is
a man Of large means, which adds q
richer favor to his er-day romance.

EIGHT LIVES IMPERILED
In the COIIOpse of Livery Stable
Last Night.


The rear portion of the old Ryan liy-
cry stable. 443 Robert street collapsed
at o'clock last evening and eight men
who were at work on the upper floor
at the time had a very narrow escape
from being buried in the ruins. The
property upon which the building
stands has been leased by the proprie-
tors Of the Golden Rule department
store, whose purpose. was to tear down
the stable and erect a store to run
through from Robert street and con-
meet with their present quarters. The
excavation for this new building had
already been begun in the vacant por-
ton of the property between the stable
and the Golden Rule, and had been car
ried as close to the building as was
considered safe. @. ]. Schwartz the
former occupant OF the stable has for
several days past been removing the
contents of that building to the Metro
pole stable, 254 East Eighth street,
Wnefe ne proposes to continue his
business and at the time OF the acct
dent, nearly everything had been taken
away Only the sleighs and cutters,
Witch had been stored in the loft re-
manned and Mr.. Schwartz and crew
OF men were engaged in removing them
Those who We're with Mr.. Schwartz
were James Hanlon, Peter Rapp. G.
Gordon, Frank Boyce Charles Schultz.
George, Keller and George Partridge.
They were all working at the rear end
Of the building lowering the cutters
to the ground floor when a strange
cracking noise was heard Mr..
Schwartz shouted to his companions to
drop everything and run for their lives
to the front of the building, and AL
though the walls had already begun to
collapse and the floor was slanted, al
most like a toboggan chute, they all
managed to reach the solid portion of
the structure in safety. Nearly twenty
iiFe teet OF the rear portion Of the build
ms fell into the excavation, and had the
accident occurred before O'Clock. there
IS little doubt but that some of the
lahorers would have been killed. The
cutters and sleighs destroyed are val
ued at $500.

IN THE AUDITORS OFFICE.
List No. Was Certified; No. 10 Is
Hung Up.

There seems to have been suspicion
ia the minds OF some that the deed
hearing date April Is, should have at
tatheII thereto certificate Of the state
auditor dated I'VE months previous.
This, however. was explained yester-
day. as when the railroads present
their lists of lands claimed under the
Indemnity grants the certificate is
made immedia tely after investigation
into the justice of the claims. The list
involved in the bin passed at the last
legislative session was known as list
No Q. and embraces something over
500c acres, as stated elsewhere, more
exactly. This list Auditor Bierman,
who was still in Office when it was filed
In November. 1894 certified to the gov
ernor ia whose office it was then filed.
In February, 1898. after the achange in
administration List Ne. 10 was filed
hy Land Commissioner Skinner, of the
same road. and it still remains in the
files of the office somewhere, never
having been signed. 1t differed some
what from List No. 3, in that different
character of lands was claimed. and for
that reason has been hung up ever
since, although great deal of cores
l,eadenee has passed concerning the

NEGRO CONVENTIONS.
Democrats Have Called One and Repub-
Iicans May Fellow Suit.

Chicago may have two more national
political conventions this summer. The
Democratic negroes have called a conven-
tion to meet in that city Aug IL, and
there IL movement for convention Of
Republican negroes TO meet there Sept z.
A. Il. Manning, chairman of the execu-
tive committee Of the Negro Democratic
league, has issued call to 1.-The members
of the Negro Democratic league and To all
negro Democrats who arc in accord with
Democratic principles rs taught by Grover
Cleveland and our brave leaders of negro
Democrats. Each state will be allowed
delegates in proportion to the negro votes
cast for Cleveland in 1899, but 1t Is not
made clear how that vote is 10 bc ascor-
tained IL Is estimated, however, that 30
states will bo represented by about 2Se del
egatcs. Action on platform and candidates
Is uncertain.
Theophilo 4. Allan, in letter TO the
Chicago Conservator, an organ Of tho col
ored race, has started the movement for
the Republican convention. He says there
arc 1000, 600 negroes In the United States
and 80, 600 negro voters in Illinois. Ho
argues that all negro voters should vote
solidly for Mckinley. Ho proposes that ev-
cry organized body of negroes shall have
ono delegate. In this he would include
organizations of farmers, laborers, walters,
BARRIERS, women and churches. His plan
is TO have call issued by ten leaders OF
the race. He appeals to tho negroes to

HYPN0TIZED TO ROB.
A Remarkable Story Told by Boy In
Chicago.

The Chicago police are investigating a
strange story just told thom by i6-year-
old Arthur Peterson. Young Peterson was
arrested on the lako front. Moses ST. Clair,
colorcd. "a years old, who was with the
boy was also arrested and locked up At
the police station he refused 20 talk, hut
the bog told Sergeant Murphy that In sc.

who seemed To exercise peculiar influence
over him. Less than n year ago, Young
Peterson said, he came TO Chicago with ST
Clair, who told the boy, SO tho latter said,
that II he attempted 10 leave or told any
ono about tho mistrcatment he received
he would kill him.

NAVY MACHINE GUNS.
-Four Hundred Shots q Minute Will BE
Fired.


Within few months the new navy will
be supplied with machine guns, each capa-
BILE OF firing 400 shots per minute, or about
2 per second.
The effect Of such fire on body of
troops charging upon force armed with
these weapons would be disastrous In the
extreme, as they would be able to rain
bullets upon territory extending at least
1000 yards from their muzzles.
Two Of these weapons have been ex-
haustively tested at the Indian Head prov
ing ground by board of naval officers,
and the result the board states is highly
satisfactory. The guns have been returned
to the factory and some slight alterations
will probably bo made with view TO in
creasing their efficiency.
The gun the navy has adopted Is that
manufactured by the Colt Patent Firearms
Manufacturing company of Hartford un-
der Browning's patent The design was
decided upon after exhaustive experiments
intended to perfect method whereby the
powder gases arc utilized To work auto
msttcatiy the firing, CJocttng and rofoad=
ing mechanism.
The gun weighs 32 pounds, and with
the tripod upon which II is mounted the
total weight of the machine is about 90
pounds. The tripod, when the weapon is
not in use, may lie detached and carried
by one man, while another takes charge of
the gun.
Tho arm consists OF one barrel attached
to breech casing, in which is contained
the mechanism for charging, firing and
ejecting. The automatic action of the gun
is effected by means of the pressure of the
powder gases in tho barrel after the pro-
jectile has received its maximum velocity,
without decreasing its range or penetra-
ton. A small radial vent in the barrel
opening downward from the bore admits
the gas The vent is closed by a piston
which fits ia tho gas cylinder, surrounding
the outer edge Of the vent, and IL piyoted
TO the gas lover, so that it adjusts itself TO
the gas cylinder, while the lever swings in
q vertical plane. York Herald.
