Almost Arrested.

While Hy Downs was in San Francisco
he was standing in front of the Chronicle
building with a large wad of fine cut
tobacco in his mouth and was Just purs-
ing his lips preparatory to landing a
quantity of juice on the sidewalk, when a
policeman held a club in front of his
mouth.
Hy was at first too astonished to speak.
but he finally demanded of the police
man what he wanted.
If you want 10 unload that consign-
ment, land it in the street. You can't

Pm from Nevada,' said Hy, drawing
himself up like a true Nevadan.

have to land that in the street, I tell YOU"
Hy advanced TO the curb and landed"
it. 1t spattered over a horses feet and the
animal ran away, mashed into a drug
store window and knocked out over $500
worth of goods. Hy watched the acct
cident and merely remarked: IF you
say street, street gOes.'

Sues His Brother for $4,000.

NJ. COhn commenced an action in he
District Court February DIST. against his
brother Elkin Cohn for Sl5,O 900 DAMAGES.
The complaint alleges that the defendant
on the 9TH day of August 1897, in hearing
of a number of persons, maliciOuslv and
with the in ent to cause it to be believed
hat the plaintiff was indebt ed to such
extent TO persons with whom he, the
plaintiff, was purchasing merchandise in
San Francisco, hat he was unable to pay
his Indebtedness and unworthy of future
credit in said business, published the fol-
lowing words of and concerning his said
business: Il am going 20 San F,oncisco
this evening to make a settlement for
Morris (meaning this plaintiff); yes, to
make a settlement for my brother.'
That in consequence of said words he
business credit and standing of plaintiff
was impaired and injured to such'an ex-
tent that plaintiff was compelled to sacri-
ice his property and business in Carson
and to dispose of the same to his great
damage of $4,000. Wherefore, the plain
itf demands judgment against the de-
PENDANT for that sum.-GenOa Courier.

SPANISH WAR VESSELS
HEADED FOR HAVANA.
ACTIVE PREPARATIONS FOR
WAR WITH SPAIN.
Positive Evidence of the Names
Destruction From Without.
ESPECIAL To THE APPEAL.1

~ IL Il La LII
New York, Feb. 2S.-Ihe war news was
the main topic of interest here to-day
and the excitement runs high. The
Journals special from Key West con-
firms the report that the Boa"d Of In
quiry are now positive that the Maine
was blown up by an external force. They
are unanimous in their opinion.
The divers all agree in their opinion
that he plates ABOUT the edge of tie big
gap in the side of the ship are bent in
ward.
More bodies are constantly being taken
out and present a CHASTITY spectacle as they
ore laid out on the wharf at Havana.
The authorities have placed a guard of
soldiers to keep the crowd away from
the wharf.
There is no longer n doubt that the
Maine was blown up ov a mine or a tor
pedo under her bows.
EXCITEMENT AT HAVANA.
Havana is in a te 'rible state of excite
ment and Americans are departing as
fast as they can get away.
Rioting is liable to begin at almost any
moment, for the city is overstrained with
the excitement and is like a powder
magazine.
1t would take but little to start a reign
of terror, and the Americans in the citv
would not be safe for a moment.
1t is thought that the trouble will begin
when the V:zcara arrives.
GEN. f KNEW 1T.
Gen. Lee has known all along that that
there was a plot TO destroy the Maine and
he has laid all the facts before the Gov
eminent.
THE SITUATION VERY GRAVE.
Washington, FEB. 2S.-The excitement
here is at a high pitch there being moth
ing TO equal It since the outbreak of the
civil war.
h Cabinet realizes that a grave crisis
is at hand and they have been in session
all day.
The papers that were demanding in
demnity from Spain are now talking of
stronger remedies and on every side goes
up a call for blood.
The general sentiment is that nothing
but war can avenge the outrage to the
Maine and its soldiers. The cabinet adj
vices from Key West have fully satisfied
every member that the destruction of
the Maine was the result of a deliberate
conspiracy.
The country is being placed on a war
footing as rapidly as possible and prof
fers of troops are pouring in from every
State in the Union.
The coast d~efenses are being strength
ened everywhere and munitions of war
being concentrated at available points as
fast as they can be transported.
SPANISH WAR SHIPS EN- ROUTE.
The Department received a dispatch
to-day ON Madrid from Minister
Woodford to the effect that five Spanish
war vessels had sailed for american
ports.

The Fashions.

A very celebrated physician recently
remarked that the dotted wells, with
their criss-cross meshes, that women
were now wearing, were making the
oculists rich.
Color, as a rule, is very artistically con-
sidered this year, and even from red,
white and blue as key-notes in both dress
and millinery, many pretty variations
are made. The genuine royal red is q
brilliant scarlet, but the shade which
appears conspicuously in fashionable
gowning is like velvet-petaled gerani-
um blossom.
Many of the very chic beach and
yachting costumes made this season by
French tailors are formed Of soft gray
Holland, with handsome linen lace in
sertions on skirt and bodice, or of COL
ored pique, with often a skirt of plain
pink, tan, blue, or white pique, and q
fitted blouse of striped pique in two
colors, the waist finished with turned
down collar and marine tie.
Very handsome were some cream
and snow-white grenadine gowns at a
recent fashionable gathering, that were
made upon colored silk foundations
pink and green looking particularly
we'll as sheath slips. The narrow foot
trimming, set on very full and edged
with narrow lace, was finished at the
top with tiny knots of ribbon matching
the foundation skirt in color, these be-
ing spaced" On another gown was
a gathered two-inch ribbon placed be-
tween the frill and the overdress, en-
phasizing the color at the hem. The
wide ribbon ruche is too heavy for
most of the diaphanous gowns, upon
which it appears.
Fancy yokes, guimpes, or collarettes
are everywhere in evidence on new
summer gowns. Some of the most
dainty are formed of sheer nainsook or
null, in clusters of fine lingerie tucks,
with insertions and projecting edgings
of Valenciennes lace. The tucked
guimpe extending into narrow vest,
and showing inside the fronts of the
silk or satin waist, is very popular
bodice arrangement. To this guimpe
is added a collar band of nainsook in
minute tucks laid over white silk or
velvet ribbon, and trimmed all around
the top with standing frill of Vslen-
ciennes lace an inchsor more in width.
There are also sleeve.cuffs or inside
frills of the lace-edged and tucked main
sook. 3s1 4r ar.t

The Pacific Mail Company's steamer

surprise.
PARK CITY, UTAH. was nearly wiped out
by fire last Sunday. Main street was ruined
and Park Avenue sustained losses that can
not be computed with any degree of &C
curacy. The Chinese quarter is completely
wiped out. Through the business houses
the fire gained its way to the residences on
Park avenue, where the best dwellings
were. On east side the houses were burned
to the number OF twenty or more. On the
west side the avenue was swept clear. In
this stretch no less than seventy five resi-
dences were destroyed. Appeals for help
were sent to Salt Lake and to Ogden. The
loss is estimated at 81 ,0OO,0 900, with light in
surance.
