Fort Worth. Tex, July 9.-Major
Chas. Peck, of Houston. manager of the

day the shortage of cars is becoming
serious and that by Saturday night ev-
cry available space of elevator room in

which has moved to that port. and in
addition thereto there will be thousands
Of cars of grain on the tracks in that
city. The first boat due to arrive at

it can be moved through. the port. Major
Peck conferred with railroad managers
here regarding the matter.

ANNA GOULD'S MAD LOVER.
Story Told of InfatuatiOn of a Barber
for the Girl Who Became
4 Countess.

The presence in New York of Count
Castellane and his wife brings out the
story, hitherto unpublished, of an ex-
perience of the countess in Ell Paso.
Mr.. Gould and his daughters spent
. some time in that city in 1893. A barber
named Steiner, meeting the young Ia
dies on the street, imagined that Miss
Anna was casting friendly chances at
him, and he Swallowed them continual
ly. At the theater he entered their box,
and, laying, a handsome bouquet in her
lap, bowed himself out. She thanked
him, supposing him to be an usher pre-
senting gift from some friend.
A few days later, when she and her
sister were alone in their private car,
Steiner rushed in, and, selling Miss An
ma, attempted to take her out. Her
screams attracted assistance, and
Steiner was conducted before Judge
Blacker. He told Of his infatuation and
how, as he supposed, she had eneour-
aged him, and declared his intention to
carry her into Mexico and marry her.
Judge Blacker, knowing Steiner's weak
ness, suggested that Mr.: Gould give
Steiner a ticket to New Orleans as an
easy way to get rid of him, and Steiner
left town over the Texas &. Pacific in
charge of the conductor. So the matter
was hushed up until now. q --..'

The goose that lays the golden egg.
has been found and he lisa Kansas bird.
There is not only one OF him but .
whole flock. Mrs. Mursel, who lives at
the mouth Of White Clay creek, slug
gish stream that empties into the Mis-
souri, river just below Atchison, is the
owner Of the birds, which no money
can buy, and which have become the
wonder and the talk Of the town.
One Of Mrs. Mursell's geese was sac
nfced for the dinner the other day
When she went to clean the craw she
discovered that it was filled with what
at first appeared to be minute grains
Of sand. The brightness of the stuff
and the curiosity it excited led her to
keep it to show to her neighbor. The
neighbours husband, who is an old
miner, saw it and at once pronounced
it gold-almost pure gold. Tests made
at the jewelers. subsequently, corrob-
-orated the miners opinion. The yell
low particles taken from the goose's
craw were gold Discovery led to in
vestigation. A goose egg was analysed.
It was permeated with gold. Egg
after egg was subjected to the test
and not one failed to show traces of
gold. s., < Il. 81
A brickyard is located in the vicinity
of Mrs. Murcell's home. The mud for
the manufacture of the brick made
at these yards is pumped or sucked
from the Shiny bed of White Clay
creek. A vast yard Of it is constantly
kept on hand. This oozy mass is the
favorite haunt of Mrs. Mursell's geese.
They waddle in it and eat it all day
long. An analysis of this mud shows
that it contains gold. A further anal
ysis of the manufactured brick shows
a percentage of gold in every one.
Almost every house in Atchison is
constructed of these bricks, and min
ute particles of gold in the brick can
be seen with the naked eye-very dis
tinctly under the microscope.
While the gold in the goose's craw
was what might be called nuggets
very minute, however-as well as that
in the mud and burnt brick, that in
the eggs is in soluble state.

Price of Irvine Increased.

In view of the sharp advance in the
price of Manila and sisal fbers, such as
enter Into consumption in the manufac-
ture of binder Irvine at the prison, it
was necessary for the state to make cor
responding advance in the price of Irvine
and the cheapest Irvine sold at the prison
factory this season will be pure sisal al
10 cents per pound. Manila and sisa
mixed will be sold at 121 cents per
pound, and even at this figure it is ex-
pected that the state will have no trou-
BILE in disposing of its entire produce
The following circular has been mailed
to all persons whose inquiries for Irvine
has been filed with the warden:
At meeting of the board of manag-
ers the prices of twlne, freight on board
cars, Saltwater, to farmers or actual
consumers only, were fixed as follows:
Minala and sisal mixed, 121 cents per
pound, only 100000 pounds made. Pure
sisal, tel cents per pound. No pure ma
Mia has been made and none will lie
made this season. During the season
from Aug. 1, 1897, to Aug. /, 1898, the
prices of manila hemp ranged from 4
to cents, and sisal from 81 to ST cents
per pound. Fer the year '9s to '99,
about 100000 pounds of manila were
carried over, which cost an average of
4 35-100 cents per pound. The price of
manila the same year ranged from 81 to
to q and the price of sisal from l-16
to y cents per pound.
For the current year, Aug. /, 1899, to
Aug. l, 1900, the average cost of sisal
purchased by US, has been 4-10O cents
per pound delivered at Saltwater, which
Is little more than double the average
price of 1s97-1s99; and the advance in
Irvine oil has been about 200 per cent.
In view of these facts the price estab-
lished by the board of managers barely
covers the cost of material, cost of man
ufactu1e and a reasonable allowance for
repairs and depreciations of the plant.
The following statement of the miscel-
laneous cash receipts of the prison for
January was presented to the board by
Warden Reeve: Received from Union
Shoe and Leather company, for convict
and labor, ETC., $3,s71.68; from sale Of
high school apparatus, $113.74; from
sale of meal tickets, $15.75; from yisi-
tors fees, $s39.85; from convict labor,
Irvine shops, $1,o32.5O; from sale Of
empty barrels, 81; from subscriptions,

age stamps, 1913; from sale Of old
brass, $101.73; from United States for
board and allowance of federal prison-
ers, 81 ,093.05; from sale of photographs,
so cents, total, $5,582.74. All Of this
amount is credited to the current expense
