AN INSULT'ED MULE.
How He Resented Silly Attempt to
 Deceive Him.

When the pupils of the Central school were dismissed yesterday af- teumoon and were starting home, a boy on a small mule challenged a boy on a bicycle for a go at marbles. The challenge was accepted. The boy on the bicycle leaned his wheel against a curbstone and the other boy tied the mule ito the handle bars, more for form's sake than to serve any useful purpose. Then the game proceeded. There was a great deal of Judging, recriminations and salvation of white alleys. In the meantime the mule was conducting private investigation and when he got ready he submitted a re- port. Ha found that the bicycle weighed less than ton and that it wasn't fastened to anything. He reas- soned that the act of tying him to it was a silly attempt to fool him. A mule gets angry on slight provocation, but here was a serious insult, a re- flection upon his intellectual develop memt. He started down Center street on a gallop. At the start the bicycle was worth about $60, but its price was beins reduced more rapidly than the figures were cut down by the

 mer. When the mule was at thl

ner of Center and Adams the boy who owned it would have sold it for $14, at Center and Washington the boy who owned it would have sold it for $10. As the mule turned east on lief ferson the boy would have traded for a package of chewing gum and a red rubber balloon.
 It is a waste of time to remark hat the game of marbles had ceased The boys and all their friends had joined fn "a noisy pursuit of the mule Gen. ter street was crowded with vehicles, as it usually is at that time of day, but by special ordering of Provi- ldemce all the casualties ,w5lre con fined to the wheel.
 Perceiving the uselessness of any further pursuit the boys stopped in front of the Commercial hotel to ad- judicate the damages. The boy with the missing wheel said he would he satisfied with nothing less Hhan the original price of it. The, other boy admitted the value and destruction O1 the wheel, but the loss, he said, was insignificant in comparison with the damage to the mules temper.

for $1 lumber tariff last spring, and he says there is grave reason, in his opinion, to fear that the Canadian government will presently be forced to prohibit the exportation of saw logs, whether it wants to or met.
 ''A1l along Georgian bay," he says, "are pretty good sized Canadian towns that live on the lumber cutting busi- nesst These places have absolutely nothing else to draw upon, and the moment the saw mills shut down the towns are dead and the inhabitants idle. Heretofore the mills have cut a good deal of lumber for the American market, but the $2 lumber tariff has stopped that and the Canadian own CTS Of stumpage have begun to raft their logs across to the mills in Michi- gan because we admit logs free. If this keeps up, and the chances are it will, the people of these Canadian towns will be pauperized, and, as it seems to me, the Canadian govern ment vii be forced to protect them by doing something radical to force the saving of Canadian logs in Can ada"

QUADRUPLE MURDER.
Four Men Killed By the, Captain o
 a Potomac Oyster Dredger.

Washington, Dec. "A quadruple murder has been committed near Colonial Beach, fashionable resort on the Potomac, some six miles south of this city. Four men were killed by having their dhroats cut and the bodies were thrown into the river
 The body of a man f1oated on the sands a wek ago. His head had al- most been severed from the trunk The remains were identified as those of John Canter of Anacostia, a suburb of this city. He was an oyster dig ger. Two days after a second body lodged a short distance below the same locality. The mutilation was similar, having evidently been slashed with keen razor.
 An investigation disclosed the fact that four men were murdered in the same manner. An oysterman was found, who informed Magistrate True that the murder occurred in the oys- ter fields on Nov. 15. A dispute re- garding wages due the men was the cause of a fight in an oyster boat, in which four men were deliberately killed by the captain of the dredger, their threats cut from ear to ear and their bodies cast into the Potomac. The eye witness to the slaughter man. aged to escape and succeeded in reaching shore. The river is being dragged along the beach, with the expectation that the other two bodies may be recovered. The police are trying to locate the murderer and his vessel, which is in the oyster fields between Virginia and Maryland.

fearful loss of the pearl of great price. k Those who had known him during the spiritual era warmed him that his prosperity was a bad sign, that God was only wlaihing to smite him att a nime when the smite would be all the more painful, because 1t would be the least expected
 "And," said Mir. Tolan, 'fHe smote Ema quick, right there in El Paso. '' First there came domestic dissen- sions, the scattering of the family. His wealth and influence and position fled from him as men flee from a pesti- lence. He was no longer the p-o- prietor of hotels, restaurants, laun- dries, grocery stores and installment houses. He was no longer political boss and he had ceased to be the head of family. He was on the point once of applying to the Texas legislature to have his name changed from Thomas D. Tolan, eolored, to Ichabad Dennis.

 The proprietorship of a weekly news paper would have beam construed by most men to be the depth of misery, but MT. Tolan's' heart was hardened and his neck was stiffened. Then MT. Tolan oama to Arizona ard to Phoenix. He persisted in the rug and carpet business and his customers and the officers of the county and city be- came chosen instruments of the Lord in carrying out the work of redsmpticn D begun at Ell Paso many years ago. Ar- rests, indictments and trial for em bezzlement were adopted as means of grace. MT. Tolan makes public an- nouncemenio now of his raconwersion and proclaims that he has thrown up his hand. He hears and responds af- firmatively to his recall to the min istry

PLUCKED AS A BRAND.
Recalled to the Ministry in Loud and
 Angry Tones.

T. E. Tolan, whose litigious adve1-
 lures have divided a place with the
 tariff, Cuba, monetary legislation, the
 scaling question, etc., in the public eye,
 to the total or partial obscuration
 of lesser matters, believes that he has
 vainly been kicking against the goads
 for many years. He sees the connect
 laItions and as he is susceptible to
 slighter hints than the falling of a
 brick house, he has decided as sooa as
 practicable to return to the ministry,
 which he abandoned in Texas many
 years ago. He related to Recorder
 Jobs yesterday the story of his de-
 scent into Avernus. The route along the earlier stages was attractive,
 though as he approached his destina- tion lit became bleak and even rocky.
 Many years ago MT. Tolan was preacher of much power and influence for good at Dallas and other Texas towns where the devil had always a
 little more than held his own, and , ground im recent years worth speaking of. MT. Tolan foolishly imagined that he could make an equitable division of his time betwe cen God and M1mmon. He preached with his usual power and effect on Sundays and during revival seasons and i'm the daytime and dur ing periods when dullness prevailed on the religious exchange, he heaped up wealth. His first long and perceptible step in his downward course was his removal to El -Paso. He became inn mersed all at once in the hotel busi- ness, three restaurants, couple of grocery stores and a big laundry, be- side an installment house for the sale of rugs, carpets, patent flatirons and other brfc-a-brac. About this time he also became political leader in a mu- nicipal campaign, which ragged so vio- lently that a national bank with which one of the cndidlates was connected in the capacity of cashier, soon after sus- i pended. It may easily be imagined that in the midst of his manifold com- mercial and political occupations MT.
 Tolan's time for spiritual perform ances was greatly curtailed. He was able ito anray himself in broadcloth, silk hats, patent leather shoes, to carry a costly cane and wear diamonds.

THEIR NOSES PECULIAR,
Therefore Two Californians Estah-
 lished Their Rights.

Rondout, Dec 2.-Afper a legal bat t,e lasting several years, Mrs. Nettie V. Peabody and George F. L. Kipp of California have established their identity as the children of James Brown Kipp, former resident of Saugerties, N. Y., and have proved themselves rightful heirs to one-half of a large estate lsft by their uncle, Andrew Kipp of Saugerties ,who sey- eral years ago died intestate.
 James Brown Kipp ran away when boy after a whipping by his fatha- for breaking a jug of rum.
 The claim was contested by Will liam Kipp, the only living brother.
 James Brown Kipp was murdered in California while protecting his wife from an insult
 The Kipps' noses were peculiar. By this means the identity was estab- lished.

BELFRY's BANDITS.
Officers Have Run Down the Highway
 men of Wednesday Night

The officials of the sheriff's office believe they have succeeded in running down the footpads. who held up Charles Beifry and Mike Mcdonald on Wednesday night. They have not apprehended them yet, but they know where to go and put their hands on them. They are concealed in MT Belfry's imagination. Tn other words, the deputy sheriffs are confident that the reported hold-up never occurred.
 On Wednesday night MT. Belfry rushed into the sheriff's office breath less with haste and the tale of the robbery. 1t was then late and a rain was just setting in, so that it was useless to attempt a pursuit of the robbers that night. MT. Belfry said he would come back in the morning and go with an officer to the place where the outrage occurred He did not return yesterday morning and has not since been seen at the sheriff's office.
 Without waiting for him long, Dep uty Sherim Charles Slankard rode out to Kings corner, where Belfry eaid he and MsDonald had been stopped by the bandits. Be1fry said that the robbers had taken the buggy at that place turned it around and had driven back as far as to the asylum, where they turned 1t around again, starting the horse toward town There were no tracks of turning buggy at either place, though bicycle and other tracks in the dust made before the ;ain were plainly visible
 None of the officers to whom Be,frv related this story have seen Mcdonald, his alleged companion They know there is man by the name of Mike Mcdonald, but they have not seen him in town lately. Belfry said he did ot knpw where Mcdonald lived.

RETURN OF GOVERNOR McoRD.
His Observations on the TerriItoria
 Penitentiary.

Governor and Mrs. M. HI. McCond. who left town last Sunday night to attend the crystal wedding of Col. and Mrs. John H. Martin of Tucson. rst turned yesterday morning They SD D.. two days at Yuma, the gove-1rur hay ing inspected the affairs of the prison and the operations of the State of Arizona Improvement company with reference to the prison contract
 As is known the company is n-w engaged in enlarging a canal of ten miles in lemlgth, taken out of the Col orado below Yuma It will afford ir- Gigaltflon for 10000 acres and the work on it will be completed within three months, after which work will be be- gum on the main and origi- al prOpo- sition, the gravity canal.
 Forty convicts are employed. A camp with tents and cooking house has been established at the works, ob- vfating the necessity of returning the prisoners to the penite1tiary every night. On next Monday 100 prison CTS will be set at work. They them selves are anxious to get into lthe field, not only because it will relieve mo- nolcny, but also because of a rule that they will be allowed four days of their sentenced time for every three days faithfully served
 The governor, after careful investi- gation, has become convinced of what he felt reasonably sure before, that the employment of prisoners on the canal instead of costing the terri tory amy more, will really cost less No more guards need be employed and the change in prison fare Is to the advantage of the expense account.
 He believes that when the improve ment company is in full operation that it will require all the prisoners that can be furnished, about 150. Of course the federal prisoners cannot be turned out. Neither will the au- thorities put life man or long term men on the work.
 The governor is thoroughly pleased with the management of the prison and the efficiency of the guard ser vice. He believes the penitentiary is i'm better condition than it. has been since 1t was instituted.

Lewiston, Me, Dec. 2-The Journal ttlhis aftarmoon prints an iEdterview with Congressman Nelson Dingley. who left for Washington today. He said: 'sIf the senate were republican and in harmony with the house om currency legislation. but with a free silver majority in the senate antago- nistic to the ideas of a majority of the house aS to what constitutes sound currency system, do not see how it is possible to secure desirable currency legislation of am dmDortanH character until the senate is brought into harmony with the housa -
 "InHsmuch as this will be the first regular session oft he Fifty fifth con- gress and therefore this session is un- limited dm length by the constitution and tlhe laws. it is difficult to forecast its duration. The business of the approaching session. will be expedited by the fact that the house as we'll as the senate is already organized and the committees are appointed, but the senate has no means of limttfng de- bate. That is. it is always in the power of a few senators to greatly ex- tend a sitting. I see no reason, how ever, at present to believe that this session will continue later than June.
 Probably bankruptcy legislation vi1 1,<s k;t,o Arck 10 z,~,v~a ,,~, r,.,S appropriation bills as may be neces- sary. While should be pleased to see legislatnom which would remedy the want of f1exibility of our banking system and which would separate those functions of the treasury de- palrttment which relates ttn govern ment demand notes and certificates used as currency, from those which re- hate to current receipts and expendi- lures and thus better protect the rs- serve, believe that it is suffci6nt zzuf all immediate purposes to know thai the administration has power and is determined to defend the present mon etary stamdard.
 Indeed, with sufficient revenues to meet all current expenses, as we shall have In the next fiscal year, the treas ury department cam accomplish the purpose indicated without any new legislation. Legislation, however, is desirable because under ihe existing conditions by which government notes are redeemed in gold, there are only two ways in which they can be dis bursed, viz: By purchase Of govern ment bonds or in exchanging for gold
 Speaking for myself, I think that a sound policy and dhe best interests of Cuba require that the question Of our attitude toward the island and Spain should be left to the president, who has already done much for the Cuban cause"
