I'd have sure seen that the man got paid, even if Aggy forgot 1t, but the man that drove us was the surli- est brute that ever growled. When you'd speak to him he'd say, 'Unh'-a style of thing that didn't go well in that part of the country. I kept my mouth shut, as knowing that didn't have the come-up-with weighed on my spirits, but Aggy gave him the jolly. He only meant 1t in fun, and there was plenty of reason for it, too, for you never seen such game of driving as that feller put up in all your life. The Lord save us! He cut around one cor ner of mountain so that for the longest second I've lived through my left foot hung over about thousand feet of fresh air. I'd have had time to write my will before touched bot tom if we'd gone over. don't know as I turned pale, but my hair ain't been of the same rosy complexion since.
 "'Well!' says Aggy in surprised tone of voice when we got all four wheels on the ground again. Here we arev says he. Who'd have suspected 1t? I thought he was going to take the short cut down to the creek

 >"I grabbed Aggy by the shoulder and took him in the corner for pri- vate talk. I thought you knew this game? says I.
 "I do,' says he. That's the way 1t always happens And once more in my life experienced the peculiar feel ing of being altogether at loss for words.
 "'Aggy.' says I at last, I've got a good notion to lay two violent hands on you and wind you up like an eight day clock, but rather than make hard feelings between friends I'll refrain. Besides, you are funny cuss, that's sure. One thing. boy, you can mark down. We leave here tomorrow morn ing
 "'All right says Az. This sporting life is the very devil. I like outdoors as well as the next man, when I get there.'
 "So the morrow morning away we went. All we had for kit was the picks, shovels and pans. The rest of our belongings was staying with the hotel man until we made rise.
 "Ag said he'd be cussed if he'd walk. A hundred and fifty miles of stroll was too many.
 "'But we ain't got cent to pay the stage fare,' says I.
 "'Borrow it of Uncle Hotel-keep,' says he.
 "'Not by a town site,' says I. We owe him all we're going to at this very minute. You'll have to hoof it. that's all.'
 "I tell you I won't. I don't like to have anybody walk on my feet, not even myself. I can stand off that stage driver so easy that you'll won- der I don't take it up as a profession. Now, don't raise any more objections please don't says he. I can't tell you how nervous you make me, al- ways finding some faGlt with every thing try to do. That's no way for hired man to act. let alone a pardner.'
 ''So of course he got the best of me, as usual, and we climbed into the stage when she come along. Now, our bad luck seemed to hold, because you wouldn't find many men in that country who wouldn't stake two fel-

 "'Now, you look here, Agamemnon c. Jones' says I, I ain't going to stand for putting up summer breeze agin that feller's good dough. That's a skin game, to speak it pleasantly "Then Aggy argues the case with me, and when Aggy started to argue you might just as we'll moo and chase yourself into the corral, because he'd get you sure. Why, that man could sit in the cabin and make roses bloom right in the middle of the floor. While he was singing his little song you could see 'em and smell 'em. He could talk snowbank off high divide in the middle of February. Never see anybody with such medicine tongue, and in a big man it was all the stran- ger. Now he winds up, 'as for cheat Ing that feller, you ought to know me better, Red. Why, I'll give him my note.'
 "so, anyhow, I done it. Up the street we went, steer bawling and buck jumping, my hair a-fying and me as busy as the little bee you read about keeping that steer underneath me stead of on top of me, where he'd ruther be, and after us the whole town, whoopin', yellin', crackin' off six shooters and carryin' on wild.

 St. Louis, Oct. 24.-The International balloon race, which started here on Monday evening, is over. Each of the contestants has landed. While ap- parently the German balloon Pom- mern won the race, it will require an official ruling to settle the matter, as there can be but few miles difference in the distance travelled by it and the French LIsle de France, which is credited with SIP miles.
 The Pommern and L'Isle de France both made descents In New Jersey, having reached the Atlantic coast The former. with Oscar Erbsloeh as pilot. landed at Asbury Park, after covering an air line distance from St. Louis of nearly $50 miles.

OHIO COURT UPHELD
U. s. SUPREME COURT MAKES AN
 IMPORTANT DECISION.
Decision Holds That Damages For Death of Pennsylvania in That State Cannot Re Recovered
 In Ohio Courts.

Washington, Nov, lS--In the case of Elizabeth M Chambers vs. the Baltt- more and Ohio Railroad Company, the Supreme Court of the United States held today that the damages for the death of citizen of Pennsylvania caused by a railroad company in Penn sylvania, cannot be recovered by a citizen of that state under its laws through an action brought in the Ohio state courts.
 Mrs. Chambers sought through a suit in the Mahoning (Ohio) Circuit Court to secure an award of damages under the Pennsylvania law for the accidental killing of her husband in 1902. on a Baltimore and Ohio train in Pennsyl- vania, she appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.
 Justice Moody declared the opinion of the court upholding the position of the Ohio courts. The case turned upon the point as to whether the decision of the Ohio state court so operated as to cause discrimination against Mrs. Chambers because she was a citizen Of another state and Justice Moody's opinion was based on the theory that such is not he result. Justices Har- Ian. White and McKenna joined in a dissenting opinion.
 In his statement Justice Harlan de- clared that the decision of the court denies fundamental right of citizen ship in that it refused to grant to a citizen of one state the privilege of bringing suit in another state. He also called attention to another point in the decision. saying thst if Mrs. Chambers had been so fortunate as to marry an Ohio man. she would have been grant ed privilege which was denied her because she had married a Pennsyl- vanian. He thought this a discrimina- ton not justified under the constitu- tion of the United States

A CouprOmsse on the Rate Disagree a 1nent Is Expected-Capfain
 QuarIes Ss Master of the 9 aJohm QuilI.~

Mobile. Nov. is.--(Special.)- )--The riv- ar steamers Ouachtta, American, Liber- ty. John Quill, Nettie Quill, Mary E. stables and Hard Cash are all here al one time. The other Mobile boat, the W. ]. Bethea, Is up the Bigbee river.
 This means more than a lively time on the wharf. 1t Eignihed an interesting time among the steamboatmen on ac- count of the arrival of a new boat. the John Quill, to enter the Bigbee river trade this week.
 LID to the time of the John Quilrs ap- pearance all of the river boats were in a combination except the American, which Is an independent boat In the Alabama river trade that Is giving the Combination a hard fight. The combi- nation has the Bethea in the Bigbee river trade and unless 1t agrees to take in the John Quill for the same per- centaEe given the boats in the Alabama river trade the John Quill will light. and, therefore, there will be one boat lighting on the Alabama river and one on the Bigbee.
 A compromise of some kind is ex- pected by tomorrow night. The Hard Cash was due to go out this afternoon on the Bigbee, to help fight the John Quill, but may not go out until the steamboatmen here have another meet ing which will probably result by to- morrow night. However, there seems no Likelihood of an agreement. and a light seems inevitable.
 The new steamer John Quill will be in charge of Captain c. W. Quarles one of the Ablest men on the river. Captain Quarles was first made mas ter by Captain T, H. Moore. one of the owners of the John Quill. and he is known as valuable man. Captain ouarles was formerly on the steamer City of Mobile. which is laid up.

HARRINGTON LEAVES
MOBILE. MAN DIsAPPEARs WITH
 CASE TENDING.
Was Accused of Stealing Copper Wire
 and Fsrfeiture fs Ordered for $500 Against sureties on His Bond.

Mobile Nov. ls.-(special )--After having been arrested and locked up at police headquarters. charged with hav- ing stolen copper wire to the value of more than s350. from the Mobile Light and Railway Company. and later re- leased on bond. James Harrington, a white man. who has been in Mobile for more than g month, disappeared last night from the Duncan House where he has been staying, and so far as can be learned has left the city, leaving Cowley Bros. local junk deal- CTS. to pay $500. the amount of the bond which they signed.
 When Harrington's case was called in the Recorders Court this morning the defendant failed to appear. A lawyer who had been retained bv the defense. appeared and stated that ne had been unable to locate his client all morning. Apparently he was little surprised, for he coolly said he saw no other course open to the court ex- cept to order the bond forfeited. He left open until Wednesday.
 A representative of Cowley Bros. said they believed that Harrington had lief, the city. They knew absolutely nothing of the man except that he had been trading with them for a month or more and had always appeared to be honest and upright. They signed the bond at the earnest request of Har- rington's wife, who was distressed over the matter.
 At the Duncan House 1t was learn ed this morning that Mrs. Harrington and her husband had been staying there since Friday evening. They have stayed at the house once before. several weeks ago, but evidently un- der a different name. as the name Har- rington appears only once upon the register. The proprietor of the place. however, states positively that the cou- pie stopped there for several days al- most a month ago, but under what name she does not remember.
 Mrs. Harrington left the place some time yesterday afternoon, the exact hour not being known. Harrington appeared yesterday evening sh hortly af- ter o'clock and paid for his room, leaving his trunk and stating that he wo Ild send for 1t early this morning. This he has failed to do. The police feel sure that the couple has left the city.
 It is doubtful if the case will be pushed further. An alias writ will be issued against Harrington "Wednesday morning if he does not appear in court. This will continue to stand and in case he should ever show up in the city again he will be arrested and arraigned. Since no one has lost any thing by the transaction, it is more than probable that so long as the cou- pie stays out of Mobile they will not he arrested,
