FROM EPIC TO PASTORAL.
App Battlefield is Sold for a
Sheep Ranch.

Washington, Feb. 9-Appomattox
battle field is to be turned into sheep
farm. That at least, is the present
purpose of Major George A Armes, who
has just become the pOssessor Of this
historic spot, comprising about 5000
acres. Major Armes became the owner
of Appomattox battle field, including
the famous apple tree. by a real estate
deal with Mr.. S. S. Burdett and Samuel
Bryan, president OF the telephone COM
pany- The exact terms of the deal are
not known. but Major Armes gives in
exchange for the battle field, which he
says is admirably arranged for sheep
herding, the big brick house on street,
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
streets.
A syndicate of gentlemen, mainly res
idents of Washington, purchased the
Appomattox battle field a few years ago
as a speculation, paying about $40. 600
therefor, and since that time various
bills have been introduced for the pur-
pose of having the government acquire
the property and create a national park
there, the same as has been done al
Gettysburg and Chickamauga. One of
these bills proposed to appropriate $780,
600 for that purpose. Regarding these
measures, congress and the committees
to which these bills have been referred
have shown very laggard spirit, and
one by one the members of the Syndi-
cate have gradually dropped out until
MeSSrS. Burdett and Bryan became the
sole owners.

SHARKEY MANAGER TALKS.
Says He Has Heard Nothing of the
Proposed Maher Fight.

San FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-Dan Lynch,
hacker and manager of Sharkey, said
last night that his protege is residing
at Vallejo and he has heard nothing
substantial relative to a purse for
fight between himself and Maher; that
is far as the Nevada stake is con-
cerned. "I consider that Sharkey is as
big a drawing card as either Fitzsim-
mons or Corbett, yet 1 am Willing to
match Tom against Maher in a contest
to a finish if Stuart wiz hang up
purse of 100000" said Lynch last night.
LAS there is only a limited time for
the men to be trained properly for
finish fight, which must be pulled off in
Nevada on the 18th of March, l have
reason to believe that the men will
not meet in the Sage Brush state. I
had a talk with Wheelock, who is one
Of the Stuart managers, when he was
understand that if Stuart was looking
and Sharkey in view, he must put up
SIC, 900 or there would be no fight.
"Wheelock thought that the amount
of the purse was too much, but when
1 handed him a telegram from a prom
inent eastern sporting man concerning
an offer made by one of the big eastern
clubs for a ten or fifteen round contest
between Maher and Sharkey, he
changed his mind, and said he wrote
Stuart and explained the situation. I
have heard nothing since from Vince
lock or Stuart, and I presume their ST
lence means there will not be a meeting
between Peter and Tom in Nevada. If
a match were made 1 would not hest
tate to back Sharkey in any sum from
81 600 to 5000 a side, but Mr.. Siler
would not be referee"

FRANK MAY DEAD.
He was for 20 Years Manager of the
S<7 Bank of England.

London, Feb. Crank May. former
ly chief cashier and practically man
ager of the Bank of England, until he
resigned in 1893, is dead.
The resignation of Mr.. May announ-
ced on November TO- 1888, caused quite
a stir in financial circles in Great Brit
ain. He was practically manager of
the bank and had been chief cashier
for 20 years. His father was Junior
partner of the firm of Coleman & May.
stock brokers, who We're connected
with several trust companies which col
lapsed toward the end of 1893.
The reason given for requesting the
resignation of Mr.. May was that he
had induced the bank to engage in
transactions not in accordance with the
old traditions of the Bank of England,
and it was stated that the losses sus-
tanned did not exceed SIPS. 600.
A report was circulated after Mr..
Nays retirement that he had been
made a scapegoat for the irregularities
of certain directors.
Some reports had it that the Bank of
England lost as much as 81, 500 900 by
the transaction referred to and it was
further limited that these losses were
incurred not so much in the trust COM
panies in which Coleman & May were
interested, but in transactions with the
Murietas and South American and
Mexican company.

GOLD MINER FOR SILVER.
Millionaire Bayly is a Firm Believer
in Free Coinage of Silver.

A modestly dressed and unobtrusive
gentleman, who is stopping at the Riggs
House, Mr.. William Bayly of Colorado,
would hardly be taken for a millionaire
owner of one of the greatest gold produce
ing mines in the world, says the Wash
ington Post.
Mr.. Bayly was, up to the last few days,
president of the famous Tom Boy mine
at Telluride, Col. Within the week he
has disposed of 81 per cent of its stock
to an English syndicate for the snug sum
of 81, 225,0 900. he and his partners retaining
40 per cent of the property. Mr.. Bayly
went to Colorado twenty-five years ago
from Missouri, and early formed the
Quaintance of Gov. Alva Adams with
whom he has been constantly associated.
But although my personal interests
are in the yellow metal, 1 am a firm be-
lever in the free coinage of silver, and
90 not think we can have any national
prosperity till both metals are treated eX-
actly alike by our government. I did all
l could for the election of Mr.. Bryan, and
by the way things have been going since
the verdict of last November am certain
that if the vote could be taken over again
the result would be different. Gold is a
good thing-for the few who can get hold
of it. No wonder that capitalists and
moneyed combinations are for the single
standard. The masses who have been in
duced to think that by supporting the
gold ticket their wages would be raised
and work would be plenty. are by this
time, no doubt, of the opinion that they
We're deceived. We have the gold stand
ard sure enough, but prosperity is yet in
the future.
