his Transportation Feat Mere A.
tractive Than His Singing.
Whitney Mockridgc, the noted tenor, was
once taking a troupe of singers around the
country giving concerts at the principal
towns in the middle west and northwest.
The troupe also included . violinist and 4
solo pianist. They eventually arrived at
st. Louis, town ON the Mississippi river
From there they expected to take train fol-
Sedalia, fiourishing town in the interior.
But to Mockridge's dismay, there was Nc
train which would take him to Sedalia In
time for his concert. The officers of the
Missouri Pacific railroad were sorry, but
it could not be helped. Mcckridge tele-
grapbed ahead to his agent to see If the
concert could not be postponed. "Impos-
sible," was the reply.
But the tenor was equal to the emergency.
He CROPPED down in his broadcloth and ex.
tracted roll of large, potent bills, currency
of the realm. These he waved in the coun-
tenances of the railroad people and demand

way. He te4egraphed to the anxious agent:
I'VE are coming, Father Abraham, 10000
strong. Meet ms at the depot with band. =
The news spread through the town and .
crowd gathered at the depot. The special
train ate up the l73 miles between st. Louis
and Sedaiia as hungry tramp eats piece
of huckleberry pie. The wheels only hit the
high places. The crowd at the depot was
madly enthusiastic when the train leaped
into town, and there was a crowd at the
concert. To hear the singing? Oh, no. To
see the fellow who had saved the day, with
Sedalia It's miles away.IChicago Chronicle.

PRINCE DE CHIMAY FIGHTS
Engages in Duel With a Defender
of the Princess.

Paris, Apr. 26.-M C1emenceau's article
in the Echo De Paris characterized the
interference with the right of the Prin-
cess De Chimay to appear at the F'olies
Bergere as shameful. The writer said
her fortune was entirely spent before
she was divorced and that the sixty
pounds per night for which she had
been engaged would help to keep her
not merely from descending lower but
also provide clothes, food and other
comforts of life.
What business, said the writer, had
the project of Paris or any higher per-
sonage to prevent her from going upon
the stage of the Folies Bergere? What
was the honor of the Chimay family to
them?''
The Prince De Chimay sent a cha1-
1enge to NJ Clemenceau by SOlbrig. the
well known fencing master, and NJ. De
Berda, M. Clemenceau's seconds were M.
George Perrin and NJ. Ranc. The Prince
De Chimay refused to allow the mat
ter to be referred to an arbitrator and
insisted upon an apology or a duel. M.
CIemenceau declined to apologize. The
Prince De Chimay chose swords and
the fight was very lively, the Prince De
Chimay ripping a severe wound in the
shoulder of his antagonist between the
great pectoral muscle and the deltoid.
TIL fish was torn off on tn point of
the sword, but no serious consequences
are expected by the surgeons.
The Prince De Chimay is pictorially
represented all over Paris is poses plas-
tiques, in every variety of dress and
undress. Crowds gather around the
pictures.

L. D. Lewelling and Representative
Charles R Walters have notified the
legislative investigating committee that
they will be here this week and offer
their personal testimony to the COM
mittee. denying in fact, the evidence
which has been secured by the investi-
cation indicating that both Lewelling
and Walters INDUCED in some boodllng
transactions.
Lewelling will, it is said, explain the
Lands conversation and it is reported
that he will give the people a few inter
esting and pointed facts concerning Mr..
Titus senatorial career.
Up to date Senator Titus has been
giving away Doodle deals on the other
fellows. Today one of Lewelling's
friends intimated that perhaps the ex-
governor might be induced to make
things lively for Titus.
Charley Walters will come and deny
that he received any money for his vote
on the railroad bill. Mr. Walters will
refute the testimony given by Commit
tee Clerk Aoad.
It is also reported that Boyd, the
arch boodler has been seen by the COM
mittee and promised protection if he
will come to Topeka and give his testi-
many and experiences while dispensing
Doodle funds in the interests of the
stock yards and other corporations
which he represented. None of the
committee members have arrived in
Topeka this afternoon but will be here
tonight and tomorrow morning. 1t is
expected that the investigation will be
resumed before noon tomorrow.

1873. July in which most of the trading
was done showed an even greater Decline
from IA to 1884 cents, a break of 234 a 3
cents. Even at those prices there was
very little demand and before the demand
became sufficient to stop the decline, July
had sold down to 1872. In the wild rush
to unload many stop orders We're reached.
The excitement did not last over Is min
utes, but in that brief interval of time
the pit was as active as it is ever seen
with jerk and a slow recovery to 74ss
took place. War news started the fun,

WHIPPED a MINISTER.
Three Women at Douglass Create a
scene-Whisky the Trouble.

Douglass, April 26.-There has been a
whisky and thug war here for a week.
Some of the fast young men around
town attended church when under the
influence of liquor, it is said, and at
tempted to join in the exercises in
way that didn't harmonic.
Rev. George Meredith, the Methodist
itinerant lately assigned to the Doug
lass charge, took matters up in Wig
orous way to which Douglass pals were
not accustomed. He had two or three
of them arrested, and these. with a lot
of others, made some boasts that didn't
accord with Rev. Merediths notions of
prOpriety, and so he enlisted the coop
GRAFTON of Rev. Barton, the Christian
minister.and the two proceeded to clean
out the town. Every jointist, dice den
and pleasure resort in or out of the cor
poratiOn was pulled and nearly 20 men
We're arrested. Most of the warrants
were sworn out and signed by Meredith
or Barton.
This so enraged the wives of some of
the men arrested that three OF them
caught and hOrsewhipped Mr.. Meredith
severely before he could escape.
The matter is causing a big sensation
and may lead to serious trouble
