Once He Was Power.
John Pondir. who more than twenty years
ago was one OF Wall streets prominent bro

in faint at the corner OF New street and Ex-

His lip was cut by the fall An ambulance
took him to the Hudson Street Hospital Am
bulance Surgeon Baily diagnosed the case as
weakness due to general debility. and said that
MIR. Pondir ought to remain In the hospital for
some time.
Mr. Pondir is 70 years old and lives at lat
West SEVENTEEN street. He was once rated
millionaire. The proposition was made q few
weeks ago by friends that fund be raised to
pension him. For some time he has been but
one OF the ghosts Of Wall street who haunt the
place OF their former triumphs. He was q
member Of the cid Gold Room and later OF the
New York Stock Exchange. Pondir launched
the Sutro tunnel. designed to cut into and drain
the ComstocS lode. and got all his friends to buy
stock in 1t. When Adolph SutIo died Pondir
had suit for about 81 100000 against him.
When he was IN the Stock Exchange one OF his
partners stole SlQ0.0 900 and he failed. but sub
seGuentiy he made another fortune; -,

Mr.. Pondr did not have much sleep.that night,
but Park came to Wall street next day and
made good all losses.
A peculiarly Of Mr.. Pondir was that he al
ways called the big men OF Wall street. whom

Coils T. Huntington. Charles Woerishoffer
and Frank Work, By their Christian names.
He is not a handsome man. It Is related that
a man once said to him at Delmonco's:
II say: Pondlr. I'll bet 500 you are the
homeliest man in town."

THE BOUNDARY AT MOUNT ST. ELIAS.
New Survey Which Gives Us About Thirty
Miles of Can ATTAIN Territory.

OTTAWA. Ont. Aug. 3-The grant OF about
thirty square miles Of Canadian territory. near
and upon Mount st. Elias. to the United States.
was explained to-day by the Chief Astrono-
mer OF Canada Mr.. King, Who with Gen. Duff
field. acting for the United States. was empow-
cred to make observations and gather nsces-
sary data upon the proper deimitation OF the
boundary approaching the Pacific coast. They
had nothing to do with determining the loca-
ton OF the 141st meridian. the official line di.
viding Canada from Alaska.
However. when the necessary observations
had been taken 1t was found that the 141st
meridian struck the coast over the west shout
der OF Mount st. Elias. Then. said Mr.. King.
when the Americans saw that the line would
cut far below the summit on the west. they
suggested that 1t would be moro convenient to
take the apex Of Mount st. Elias as the initial
starting point Of the boundary line. This.
said Mr.. King. practically moved the boundary
twenty-four statute miles further east and It.
was agreed that the new boundary line thus
run should tap the true meridian line twenty
three and half statute. miles from Mount st.
Elias.
This agreement...said the Chief Astronomer.
would give the United States about thirty
square miles Of Canadian territory and keep
equally divided between the two countries the
