Eld0rado High and Dry Near
 Steamboat Slough.
DAWSON MARKET FULL
No Likelihood of any Shortage Dur ing the Coming Winter -- Many Soows Stuck on Bars Between Big Salmon and Stewart, Some of Them Entirely Abandoned.

John Kaem was last night entertaining C. E. Jones, of the firm of Jones Bros a we'll known Dawson mercantile firm, and the two gave an interesting account of the steamers and scows aground which they noticed on the way up, and the cond- ton of the Dawson market.
 Beginning with the steam CTS, these gentlemen said the Eldorado was nearly high and dry about ten or twelve miles be- low the Big Salmon in an easy part of the river. It was erroneous to say that she was at He'll Gate, as that point is between SelkirL and Minto. The Bonanza King, which for some days blocked the channel at He'll Gate was gotten off, but as they came up they saw her on another bar, just below Steamboat slough.
 They found the water in tair shape and very little ice running, none at all except at the confluences of the Stewart and the White rivers.
 In their opinion scows going out now had chance to get through, but still there were great many hung up all along between Stewart and Big Salmon. They could not agree upon the exact number and placed it from fifty to seventy-fiye. Some had been altogether abandoned, some laden with hay and feed and some with general merchandise.
 As to the amount of horse feed in Daw-

Judge and Mrs. Sehlbrede Once
 More Go Through the Ceremony.

That was great wedding at Judge Sehlbrede's house last night, and the num- Der of guests was so large that the build ing to the southward had to be called into requisition. Even then the pretty parors were very crowded, as was also Judge Sehlbrede's court room. which, for the oc- casion was the reception room.
 Twenty years ago Judge and Mrs. Sehl- brede were joined together, and as com memoration of the mutual happiness dat ing from that time they went through the ceremony again. Mrs. Sehlbrede was dressed in white, picked out with blue, and was attended by Miss Emma Sehl- brede Rev. N. B, Harrison again went through the ceremony.

and the probability of its proving made quate both agreed that the supply already in would be ample. The estimated de- mand was 5000 tons, and over that quan- tity had already reached Dawson. In fact the price Of hay and feed was on the de- cline. An attempt might be made to stiffen it after the close of navigation, but it could not prove very effective in view of the great supply on hand.
 The condition of the Dawson market in over commodities showed no shortage in anything. Everybody had been buying up to the handle.

Harnunl'a Excuse.

P. T. Barnum's propensity for practl- cal Joking began early to assert itself. Once a man was on trial in local court for small misdemeanor. Learn ing that he had no money to hire law yer, Barnum offered to conduct his de fense. With great solemnity he made a lengthy plea in which he virtually accused his client of being guilty of half the crimes on the calendar, end ing with recommendation to the mer- cy of the court on the ground of un- sound mind.
 The man, though escaping with 8 merely nominal sentence, was furious at the trick that had been played on him. He was finally appeased by Bar nuns explanation that he had pre- pared defense for two different cli- ents and had in his case delivered the wrong plea.-Maitland Leroy Osborne In National Magazine.
