1.-The old adage, however, that stolen
gold brings to it's possessor bad luck
in the end proved true. In less than
five years the ranch owner was bank
rupt and the ranch had reverted to it's
original owners on foreclosure. The
Italian lost all of his property and re-
turned to live in the little cottage IN
North Oakland he had vacated for his
fine house. The only thing he preserved
to remind him of the days of his feet
ing wealth was a Turkish rug worth
about $1,000, which he placed on the
floor of the cottage, and would not sell
when all else had gone.
THE third man dissipated all of his
wealth in fast living and gambling and
died pauper in a hospital in Seattle.
The career of the fourth man l cannot
recall accurately, but l know that he,
too, lost all that he had. The ranch
owner, by the way. died a miserable
death alone in cabin on the Sacra-
mento river and was buried by the
town in the potter's field.
The gold, of course, did not right
fully belong to the man who secreted
stolen from some one, and If it had
been taken by the man who had for
merly owned the house his heirs put
in no claim for it for the reason that
they knew 1t did not rightfully belong
to him. 1t was considered improbable
that any person other than he had Sc
creted it, however, as he had lived in
the house for many years, had built
it himself, if my recollection is correct.
Since he had been for so long an
employe of the mint the general I'M
preston at the time was that he had
stolen the gold, a bar at time. from
the mint vaults, bringing it home when
he quit work at night. While this ex-
PLANTATION was the one generally ac-
copied the singular part of the mystery
is that If 1t were true the government
made no effort to run down the thief
nor was any such large shortage of
gold bars ever discovered and reported
at the San Francisco mint nor has It
been reported to this day."

THE HAYMARKET RIOTS.
secret Service Men Think Neiman
BeIongs to That Band.

Washington, Sept. cit is the opin-
ion of the secret service officials in
this city that the shooting of the Pres
ident is an outcropping, in some OBJ
scure way, of the Haymarket riots,
and that it will be found eventually
that Neiman. the would-be assassin,
has some connection with the group of
persons associated in the Chicago an
archists riot.
The secret service officials are of this
opinion because of the name OF the
man, and the fact that he is probably
from the same general section of the
country as some of the Haymarket
participants. The secret service bu-
reau had the Paterson, N. j. group of
anarchists very thoroughly under sur
veillance and are confident that Net
man has no association with these
people.
Three secret service operatives were
in Buffalo about the President at the
time of the shooting. and another was
on the way to Cleveland. While the
theory of the secret service here is as
stated, at the same time no facts con-
corning the matter are at this time
known to the secret service bureau, so
it is conceded to be but a surmise at
present that they belong to the Hay
market gang.

TRADE. CONDITIONS GOOD.
Last Years Cotton Crop Brought
Biggest Money on Record.

New York, Sept. 6.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow viii say: Trade advices are
as a rule very good. Fall demand, now
in full swing at the East, West and
Northeast, compares well with last
year, and business continues to ex-
pand at the South. Specially marked
features are the reports of a large sea-
sonable distribution, heavy shipments
and improved collections from lead
ing Western centers.
All measures of trade demand point
to the maintenance of general business
on a scale not heretofore equalled for
this time of year, while failures, though
more numerous than last year. are less
hurtful than one or two months ago,
and really reflect only the normal fric-
ton inseparable from the conduct of
business in a large volume.
Industrial disturbances are not cut
ting the figure they did earlier. Prices
for the fourth successive month have
advanced, and are now well up to the
highest of the year.
The cotton trade is in an interesting
position. The actual yield in the sea-
son lust closed was 10. 1888, 900 bales, VAL
ued at nearly $500 000. 900, the largest
value ever received for an American
cotton crop. The latest government
report shows that on 100000 out of
27,532, 600 acres planted the condition is
better than a year ago, and the out
look is, therefore, for a somewhat larg-
er yield than last years.
For the week business failures num-
Der 1863, as against 1SS last week and
154 in this week a year ago.

OWNERLEsS GOLD BARS,

stfAA thC NCNtE Up
From the Washington Star.
'The recent theft of $4,000 worth of
gold bars from the mint in San Fran
cisco and the robbery of over a quar-
ter of million of dollars, also in gold
bars, from the Selby smelling works
near San Francisco, calls to mind the
discovery of a large but unknown
quantity of gold in bars in house

scondent.

particulars from personal knowledge,
though the discovery at the time excit-
ed but little local interest, and so re
markable was it that it was doubted
in some quarters. Subsequently, how
ever, the truth was developed. The gold
bars, to an estimated quantity of $780,
GEO, were actually found, but to whom
they had originally belonged or by
whom they We're stolen, is still a mys-
terry. AS it happened about ten years
ago l cannot recall the names of the
parties with accuracy, though l once

In digging away the lower walls an

the bar up with earth and went on dig

first intimation that something of an
unusual nature haG happened to these
four men was that they quit work for
good and made heavy investments in
real estate. Their purchases excited
suspicion as they all had been very
poor men. To cut short a long story,
however, 1t was ascertained that they
had in fact found the gold, and they
were, under legal advice, converting ii
into other property to prevent the pos

A NATIONAL CALAMITY.
Attempt Upon Presidents Life So
Regarded in England.


Regarded in England.
London, Sept. 6.-The news of the
attempt upon the life of President Nc
Kinley spread slowly in London. The
first ticker reports were discredited;
then, with the confirmation and gen
eraI dissemination of the news arose
a far-reaching feeling of sorrow and
Indignation, which, wherever Ameri-
cans were gathered, almost gained the
proportions of a panic accompanied by
feverish anxiety for further details.
The thousands of Americans now in
London were mostly at the theaters
when the news arrived; and returning
to their hotels found anxious groups
of Englishmen and Americans discuss
ing what, without distinction Of race,
is regarded as a national calamity.
The announcement of the attempted
assassination was received too late for
extra editions of the papers to an
nounce the news to the mass of the
English people, and they will not learn
until they take up their morning pa
pers of the Presidents accident.
Ex-Gov. Brown of Georgia, Mr.. and
Mrs. Nat c. Goodwin and other Amer
leans, who were to have dined at the
Carlton tonight, cancelled their en-
gagement on hearing the news, and all
the orchestras ceased playing. Crowds
surrounded the bulletin boards.

GAMBLERS FEELING PRAYER.
God Grant He May Be Spared for
the Sake of Our Country"

Atlanta, Sept. 6.-When informed of
the assassination of the President Gov.
Gambler was deeply affected. He said:
81 know the President well. 1 served
with him in Congress six years. He
was one of Gods noblemen. While we
differed in politics, there is no man in
public life held in higher personal es-
TEEN. He is a clean man, an honest
man, a great man, patriot-broad and
liberal,
"A Federal soldier: all Confederate
soldiers respected and honored him.
His assassination is appalling; and to
say his death win be a rational calam-
ity, Will but feebly express it. Such
a result would be a worldwide ca
lamity.
He is a brave man, a man not only
of unusual physical, but also of rare
moral courage. He has always been
brave enough to speak what he believ-
ed to be the truth, and too brave to
countenance what he believed to be I'M
true. He has, too, had that rare cour-
age. like Gladstone, to abandon error
when he has discovered that he has
fallen into 1t. In word he is a patriot
and a gentleman; gentle as a woman,
brave as lion.
"He has done more to bridge the
bloody chasm between the sections
than any man since Lee and his veter-
ans surrendered. He has always recog-
nized the Southern people as a brave
people who fought for their convic-
tons, and he has never manifested any
bitterness toward them. He was wise
enough to know at the beginning OF
the war with Spain that they
are as true to the republic as the
people of his own state and he trusted
them to the same extent, knowing thai
the national honor was safe in theiI
hands.
God grant that he may be spared
for the sake of our country and for the
sake of republican institutions, and OF
human liberty throughout the world

Much will depend upon the report of

During the early evening a confer

of such of the prominent army oIfl-

tice by Gen. Gillespie
He informed them that he had COM

ernor's island and that the General
had replied that he would start imme-
diately for Buffalo, where he expects
to arrive in the early morning to take
personal charge of all arrangements
for the guarding of the presidential
household. Meanwhile he had directed
that the troops which had been
placed as a guard around the
the hospital in the exposition ground
be transferred to the Milburn home,
where the President lies, to serve as
guard and keep back the public and
preserve quiet.
1t was somewhat gratifying to the
officials here that the very first ex-
preston of official sympathy should
come from the island of Cuba in the
shape of the following telegram:

washington, Sept. 6.-The greatest
anxiety prevails here as to the actual
condition of the President. The press
bulletins gave the local papers an OPP
portunity to issue frequent extras, but
there was a painful absence of official
information on the subject at the Elk
ecutive Mansion, where hundreds or
people gathered in quest of the latest
intelligence from those in attendance
upon the wounded President.
IT was 4:30 o'clock when the first Dull
letin was received at the White House
from Secretary Cortelyou. 1t came
over the long distance telephone. 1t
simply stated: THE operation is now
in progress; everything is progressing
favorably so far" This cautiously
worded message afforded but slight
consolation to the throng of anxious Of
ficials and others who gathered at the
door of the White House.
Shortly after o'clock, second mes
sage came from Secretary Cortelyou,
stating that the attending surgeons
would shortly issue a bulletin giving
the details of the operation. Also,
that the President had been removed
10 the residence of Mr.. Milburn, where
Mrs. Mckinley is, and he is receiving
. the best surgical assistance possible.
All the members of the cabinet are
absent from Washington tonight, but
