SIGNS CT PROGRESS.


The organization of the William r.
Trigg Ship Building Company and the
splendid success which has marked its
career, followed by the completion to
Richmond, under the leadership of
Southern men, OF the great Seaboard
Air Line System, were TWO prominent
instances of recent successes which
have crowned tho energy and euter-
prise of our people. Still more recently
the South Atlantic Life Insurance
Company has been organized by South
ern men with headquarters in that city.
From its inception this enterprise too
has met with the most Aattering sue
cess. 4 few days since TIE company
received the strongest evidence of the
high position which it has won in the
confidence of the poblic by securing
the applica lion for apolicy of 100000
on the life of Mr.. b f. Johnson, pre-
sident of the great publishing house of
the i, T. Johnson Company, which
policy was taken out by the directors
of the latter company on the life of its
president. The directors of this pub
fishing company are among the most
capable and sagacioUs business men Of
the South. Their action in placing
thus large policy, one of the largest
ever written III Richmond, with the
South Atlantic Insurance Company is |
IN evidence, not only OF their conf
lence in this insurance company, but
)t their determination to support a
home enterprise.

AN OPPORTUNE FIT.
II Turned n Loss of n Million Dollars
Into n Gain of Consider

Mrs. Henry Widmayer, Wall street
Spectator in a small way, tainted in
her brokers' Office recently, being on
the short side of bull market at the
time, and while in a swoon things went
against her to the tune of $500. The
occurrence, says New York exchange,
recalled to veteran Spectator there
coup which Addison Cammack once
made in original fashion. He, too, was
on the short side and the bulls were
raising merry hades, when he arrived
on Wall street from Tuxedo. At 10:30
he was loser to the extent of nearly
100000. Suddenly he had fit. He
fell on the floor and foamed at the
mouth. Doctors and things were sent
for, and news got out that Cammack
was dying. 1t spread like wildfire and
was in every Office in the street. He
was a big man then, dealing with the
boldest and strongest operators in the
street, and the prospect of his death
sent the market reeling. In the mean
time the willy old fox had out 40 bro
kers selling short everything in sight,
and when the day and the fit were
over he had not only recovered his
losses, but was 1,25O,Oo to the good

A SOLDIERS DOG.
Rests, Like Many Another Warrior,
In an Honored Grave in His
Native Land.

Pats picture was in the Royal Scot
fish academy, representing him as a
smooth-coated little tyke, says Cham
bers' Journal. He was of nondescript
breed, but of great intelligence and
well versed in the performance of
tricks. He had travelled, eventful his
tory. One master was killed in ac-
ton; but brother officer adopted the
quaint white mongrel as his special
charge. Pat was in an Afghan cam
paign, which proved fatal to another
regimental dog, John Harrison, a re-
triever. John often followed his mas
ter, the colonel, through Edinburgh's
gray streets. The heat on his last for
eign service was, however, too much
for him, and on the march to Kandahar
John was shot for fear he should lag;
and rests, like many another warrior,
in grave where Briton had laid him.
Pat, being small and short-haired,
withstood the Indian heat. He went
with his second master to Egypt, but,
the glare of the sands threatening to
impair his already failing sight, the
four-footed veteran was sent home on
sick leave. Re never rejoined his High
landers; but by special desire, when he
died at his Midlothian retreat, he was
rolled in the coat the soldiers had made
for him of their regimental tartan and
buried in the well-tended niche in the
crown of the City of Winds.

Irrigation in Hawaii.

Interesting irrigation development
Is reported from the island of Hawaii,
in the discovery of underground cur
rents. Immense subterranean streams
of the purest water have been I'M
covered from ], 800 to 1000 feet above
the sea-,evel. The water will be flumed
down TO the sugar plantations at lower
elevations, affording an abundance for
irrigation.
From five suhterranean streams tap
ped within the past few weeks the Olaa
plantation has secured a continuous
flow of %, 900, 900 gallons every twenty
four hours, more than enough to irri-
gate the plantation, which is the
largest in the island. The water has
drained from the surface into the SUBJ
terranean beds of ancient lava.

CANNON BALLS FOR SALE.
Extracted by the Hundred from
Walls of an Old Safety Vault
In New York.

Workmen engaged in demoishing
the 4S-year-old fiye-story building at
the southwest corner of Wall and Will
liam streets have found number of
eight-pound iron balls let into the
joints of the granite slab forming the
outer wall of the street vault in what
was the basement of the building.
About 200 of the balls have been found
reports the New York Sun. One of
the workmen was sure he had discov-
cred some Revolutionary relics" and
succeeded in disposing of a number
of the cannon balls. at so cents
apiece So many of the metal spheres
were discovered that the price soon
fell to tin of beer. The discovery and
sale continued Tuesday and yesterday
and as there are few slabs still in the
place there will probably be more rel
les" for sale to-day.
The demolished building was occu-
pied by the Atlantic Mutual Insurance
company and by the Phenix bank. The
vault measures perhaps Is by 20 feet.
The granite slabs which form its outer
wall are IS inches thick. The top OF
each one was followed out to receive
half the iron ball and the bottom of
the next higher was followed out TO
receive the other half. Possibly the
metal balls were put in to bother any
burglar who might seek to dig through
the wall.

Political Pointers.


The Virginia Report has a column
article from which we condense the
following paragraphs:
The Republican party in Nevada has
aroused to condition of activity never
before witnessed in the State. Clubs
have been formed in the principal
towns. and organizers sent out to re-
view the party organization in places
where it has fallen into decay. The
monied men of the party in this State
are contributing literally, and it is also
expected that the National Committee
will furnish some of the sinews in the
hope that the State may be carried for
Mckinley.
Although Mr.. harrington of Elko
and Mr.. Mcmillan of Storey have been
the most prominently spoken of for
the Republican nomination for Con-
gress, it may be put down as an ac-
cepted fact that the fight is really be-
tween Mr.. Flanagan of Washoe and
Mr.. harrington. The former has, his
eye on the United States Senatorship
two years from now and would look
upon nomination to Congress as a
fine stepping stone to the higher place.
AS for the Supreme Judgeship, ex-
Acknowledgement Torreyson seems to
have the call for the Republican nom-
nation.
In the fusion convention it seems to
be conceded that Newlands will re-
ceive the Democratic nomination for
Congress. This will leave the Silver
Party the Supreme Judgeship. Bon
nifield of Humboldt will have the sup
port of his delegation for the place and
was the first man in the fight. There
is considerable talk of dark horses and
WOODBURY. of Ormsby has been prom
inently mentioned.
The Reno Ledger says that it is COM
mon talk on the streets of Reno that
Wallace has secured the services of the
Gazette for the campaign. 1t is asserted
that there has been compromise made
and Wallace will go to work in earnest
to elect a Republican Congressman
and defeat Newlands.
This is year when six holdover
State Senators will be elected, and as
they will have vote in the contest for
United States Senator two years from
now, some interest is manifested as to
who will win out. J. B. Gallagher will
receive the Republican nomination in
Lyon county, but who will oppose him
at the polls is not yet known. T. ].
Bell has announced himself from Nye.
H. A. Comins, who has represented
White Pine for many years, will prob
ably be up again this year, But it is
said he will encounter a snag in the
person of Charley Greene of Cherry
Creek. John q. Taylor of Lovelock
will probably receive the Republican
nomination for Humboldt county.
George Summerfield of Winnemucca
is out for the Silver nomination, w. j.
Dooley, that young Democrat of Lin
coin county who made such an envia-
BILE record for himself in the last legis-
lature, is being urged to stand for State
Senator from Lincoln county. As to
the sixth Senator it depends upon the
action of the Supreme Court whether
he is to come from Storey or Washoe
county.

The Mistake of a Mob.

A New Orleans mob made a grave
mistake. In its haste to wreak venge-
ance on the negro slayer of two men,
bers of the New Orleans police force
the mob brought to bay, smoked out
and finally shot to death colored
man who was supposed to have COM
mitted the double crime. 1t was sus-
pected at the time by some of the
cooler heads that the mistake had been
made of executing an innocent man,
who sold his life dearly, killing several
and wounding a number of others in
the mob before falling victim to its
rage. 1t now transpires that this sus-
picion was well-founded, the negro
killed being a brother of the culprit
whose life the mob in its blind rage as
sumed it was destroying. The slayer
of the two officers escaped to lola,
Miss, where he has been arrested and
lodged in Jail.
The discovery is a terrible one to
make, says the Bulletin. The moral OF
the incident is confirmation of tina.
principle of American criminal juris-
prudence which holds that it is better
for an occasional guilty person to es-
capethe penalty of his offense through
the delays and technicalities of the
law rather than that one innocent man
should suffer through the hasty ad.
ministration of justice.
