 The Discovery Was Only Made on Re-

 Articles Taken to Europe by the
 Fairs Were Also Missing. V
 San Francisco, Jan 2O.--A sensation al discovery was made, says the Call, when the personal effects of the late MT and Mrs Charles Fair arrived from Paris a few days ago. The magnifi- cent Russian sable coat, valued at $1O,000 which Mrs Fair bequeathed in her will to Mrs Joe Harvey, was gone, and a cheap imitation affair not worth thirty dollars had been substituted in its place. Mrs Fairs famous pearl necklace of five strings, valued at $15,- 900, had been tempered with and in- stead of real pearls in the necklace cheap imitation gems had been set in their places. Numbers of articles of jewelry which the Fairs were known to have taken to Europe were missing and their only effects which were re- turned through the American consul ate Ill Paris intact were Mrs Fairs chinchilla and mink coats and Charles Fairs scarf pins. The changes were made, 1t Is believed before the valu- ables were turned over to the Ameri- can consulate. Steps have been taken to attempt to locate the missing ar ticles sa@sa

Man Who Broke Through Quarantine
 Lines at Toporico. .g
 7 Bisbee, Ariz, Jan 2O.--Information has reached here that the. bnbonic plague has made its appearance ar Toporico Mexico, siXty-tive miles from Minas Prietas, state of Sonora. It Is said that an unknown white man came to Toporico about week ago, was inn mediately taken i'll and rapidly devel- oped symptoms of plague. When ques- toned the man admitted that he was from Mazatlan and said he had made his way through the quarantine lines without much trouble. The people of Toporico are greatly excited and many have left the town, It is also reported that plague has been discovered in small interior towns in Sonora. \
 Further reports received here are to the effect that there Is no plague at Hermosilio and Guaynaas. The Guay- mas quarantine against ships from Topolobampo, Mazatlan and even San Francisco is being maintained. The people of Topolobampo are reported to be dying like sheep and the survivors ! are leaving the stricken city as fast as possible. Many leave in the night time going out into the ocean in skiffs. It is feared that these departures will spread the plague.

STRIKERS IN, A FIGHT.
Lynn Labor Troubles Assume seri,

Lynn Labor Troubles Assume Serious Aspect
 LYNN, Mass. Jan. 20.-The shoe cut ters' strike is developing into lively affair. and there is no, telling what the outcome will be. :;
 The picketing of the day and events incident to it became insignificant com pared with a hand to hand conflict out side Lasters' hall last night. It was the first personal fight of the strike, and, while short, it was very lively.
 The fifteen new cutters who went into the Walton S Logan factory left their benches after the days work. and started in an express wagon for, FLasters hall. As the Knights of La bor pickets were on the alert the wag- on was quickly followed byra crowd Of 300 Knights of Labor synnpathizers.
 At the hall as each cutter jumped down he was greeted with much verbal abuse. No violence was offered the first six or seven, but the rest were struck at and their hats knocked off or crushed or their clothing torn. <
 The fifteenth man was taken hold of bodily and carried to the Knights of Labor headquarters as prisoner of war. Here he gave himself up to the Knights and promised not to return to work at the factory. He gave his name as Gould and said that he came from Auburn, Me. Officers of the Knights of Labor supplied Gould with clothing which he lost during his strug- gle to escape from his captors.
 An hour after the fight several of the boot and shoe workers union lodged a complaint with the city marshal against the Knights of Labor and asked for assistance to rescue the cap- tured man. One police officer was de- tailed and with five boot and shoe un- ion officials went to the Knights of Labor headquarters. They gained an entrance to the building, but were met by over fifty of the Knights of Labor, and as the officer had no writ of en- trance he, with the boot and shoe men, was forcibly elected from the building.
 At one time. it looked as if there would be another hand to hand fight, but after hurling challenges at each other the leaders of the two sides final ly withdrew, the boot and shoe work CTS going back to their headquarters. y During the evening several patches of cutters were brought into the city by the boot and shoe workers officials, and it was claimed that over 100 were ready to take the places of the strikers in the different factories.

GIBRALTAR, Jan. 2O.-Further at tempts made to float the Lahn have been unsuccessful. The steamer is at present imbedded in seven feet of sand amidships. The British cruiser Bac- chante aided in the efforts to float the liner, which were watched by an inter- ested crowd from the shore. The Lahn's cargo continues to be dis charged. The saloon passengers have gone ashore and are stopping at differ ent hotels. They say that panic oc- cured when the vessel struck, but that owing to the coolness of Captain Mall chow it was soon abated.

THOROUGHBREDS AT AUCTION.
Stock Worth s25,ooo. Owned by Paul

Stock Worth $25,O0o, Owned by Paul
 Lane, Only Brought About $1,30O.
 San Francisco, Jan 2O.-1 thorough breds that originally cost in the neigh borhood of $2o,OUU have been sacrlned at public auction at the Occidental horse exchange. They were from the Nevada breeding farm of Paul G. Lane, son of the we'll known mining man, who decided to retire and shipped all his blooded stock to San Francisco. They brought a, total of only $1,3OO, less than one of the horses cost him. Cimeter, daughter of the sensational brood mare Sabrina was secured by Charles Kerr for $45.@ Salonica, a Grindstead mare, went to the bin of Barney Schreiber for $99. The auc- tioneer could only obtain small sum for a mare by Imp Islington, the sire of Kinley Mack, the only horse to win both the Brooklyn and Suburban ham, dicaps. A number of others brought $15, $2O and $50. One reason for the small prices was the bad condition of the animals. Z
