BRADISH’S TEN STRIKE.
jls MUHon-Dollar Invention Spoiled
by a Great Greedy Fish.
From, the Chicago I'ribune.
Old lice Bradish was an inveterate fisher
nan, and if he had any scientific education
could have been an inventor and made his
nark —though for that matter he always
cade his mark anyhow. And while sitting
n bis boat, watching the sportive bob and
ilently munching his favorite brand of
dug tobacco, his busy bram teemed with
nterprises of gigantic proportions. He had
i! ways had it in mind to astonish the world
vith some wonderful production of his
rf-nius, for which his unalterable price was to
$ t,(XX), COO. For a time he had endeavored
o interest Mrs. Bradish in these plans, but
ihat matter-of-fact woman was somewhat
iceptical of her husband’s abilities, and
could usually respond to his glowing prog
nostications with more or less pointed refer
,uce to splitting wood or other humiliating
•bores about the house.
' Old Ike had attended a philosophical lec
iur„ somewhere, at which the professor had
eld up a glass tube filled with water, with
ii, thumb over the top. So long as the
humb was kept in place the water re
named in the tul>e, though the lower end of
lie tube was open. Upon this principle old
ke had endea ored to perfect a pump
chichi.would raise its own water, and de
rated weeks to its perfection. At last it
cas all complete; the column of water was
•etained in the pipe, and the old fellow's
icart beat a regular gallop as he turned the
'aucet in anticipation of a constantly-flow
ng well. But, instead of the water rush
ng out of the faucet, the air rushed in, ajid
;he inventor's hopes sank with the water
utothe wash-tub.
A turbine water-wheel that was to-be
iriven by the water it pumped proved an
ther miserable failure, and for nearly a
fear the old man was in the dumps.
At last, however, he struck his gait. He
ja*d observed that the sports who lame to
Ssh demurred at the cost of boat-hire, and
le reasoned that nobody could enjoy a day’s
when they were all the time re
ninded that the boat was costing 35c. an
lour, while hour after hour sped by and they
‘never caught a clam.” Old Ike set the
naohinery of his fertile brain to work, ami
it last “struck” it. Observing the greatest
iecrecy in all his movements, lest some
sharper should get the idea and secure a
latent ahead of liim, he set to work. Days
went by, and all else was neglected. Mrs.
Bradish fairly stormed at the way “the old
soot was allowin’ things to go to rack and
ruin,” but it didn’t budge the old mau; he
stuck to bis little shop.
At length one day the old man issued
from his retreat. He had incubated, and
brought forth a pair of extension stilts!
With these under one arm and a long sit
ting-pole and fishing rod in hand he took his
way to the sloping banks of the lake. Fast
ening on the stilts he began wading out. As
the water increased in depth and came nearer
jus feet he would lean upon the pole and put
in another extension. The stilts were made
30 feet high, and when nearly a mile from
shore Old Ike took up a position, wet his
lips from a bottle of cold tea, took a fresh
chew, spit on his bait, and cast in. For
fifteen minutes he laughed as though his
heart would break, not caring a copper
whether he ever caught a fish or not. The
thine was n success, and he needn't ever do
another day’s work.
But at taut moment he got a bite! And
it seemed as though it must be a whale. He
was draw-n forward by the struggle of tlic
fish and the sitting pole fell from under
him.
Luckily some boys in a small boat, at
tracted by the strange spectacle of a man
sitting serenely fishing in 30 feet of water,
nearly a mile from shore, were bearing down
on the spot, and happily were just in time.
They seized hold of the two long extension
legs that has been gyrating in the air for
some moments, and at last found Old Ike at
theend of them. He was not dead, but decid
edly discouraged.
SOUTHINGTON’S SLUGGER.
He Slaps the Face of One of John L.
Sullivan’s Star Combination.
From the Boston Globe.
New Haven, Conn., May 26.—John L.
Sullivan, the noted pugilist, who was re
cently challenged by Jake Kilrain, received
another challenge this morning, and from a
Connecticut man, too. The champion re
fused to accept it, -however. The manner
in which the challenge was given is as fol
lows: ,
Among the large crowd that assembled at
the union depot this morning to see Sullivan
was an old man from Southington. He was
attired in a suit similar to “Dr.” Chesley’s
navy blue costume. Ou liis head he wore a
Panama hat, the brim of which was, on one
side, tom from the crown, and hung grace
fully over his •ight car. In one hand he
carried a large yellow cane, which gave him
the regular Yale. 'SI, appearance Like the
others, the old man was very anxous to ob
tain n look tit the champion, and in order to
do this he cravled up the steps of the car in
which Sullivan and his troupe were sitting.
The crowd which clustered about the door
M the car allowed the old limn to enter and
gratify his curiosity. As soon as he entered
the ear the champion and his crowd noticed
that the old man had been indulging in too
frequent potations and was fast succumbing
to the influence of the liquid which givetli
color to the whisky glass, and they laid
themselves out t< > have some fun with him.
Iff* advanced to the seat where Sullivan was
sitting and asked if he addressed the cham
pion.
' Yes.” said John, “ray name is Sullivan.”
“Then it’s glad to meet you that I am,”
Saul the granger from Southington. “Give
nie your hand. Mr. Sullivan.”
* John extended his hand to the stranger.
At this time tlie remainder of the troupe,
who were convulsed with laughter at the
actions 'and talk of the granger, could not
refr-ain from roaring. This made the coun
ti-yioan mad and he turned about.
"Slice here," he said, in a thick voice, “ye
pack of rapscallions, if you’re a-poking fun
at me you'd better stop it, and right away,
•u?' I served this country in the war, and
111 be gol domed if I don’t help to clean you
fellows out of the State. I’ll show you that
you fellows can’ come here to Connecticut
and run the State to suit yourselves, and if
yon try to do it. I'll oppose you. You're
nothing but a pack of devils.”
One of the troupe opened his lips to make
some reply to the stranger, but the heavy
hand of the granger slapped the athlete
Across the mouth.
“Shut up now,” he said. “Don't you go
giving back talk to James B. Lea, or I'll
smash your mouth.”
Sullivan saw that this disturbance was
attracting considerable attention from the
bystanders, so lie told the boys to stop
jaughim; and let Lea leave the car. But
.fore to* went he turned to Sullivan and
said:
‘Sullivan. I’ve Shook hands with you and
count you as one of my friends, but I ain’t
uo more afraid of you than I am of your
wrelmgs, If you think you can fool with
ie you re mistaken, for I’ll defend myself
oiin niv country from you and your gung.
iou think that you’re a great man, but if
j/’h want to fight, como here,” and lieu
tl.rcwdown his cane und commenced to di
*<*t. himself of his hat and coat.
Ho was finally removed from the car, but
he went no further than the platform,
"/' ero .he lood and shook his fist nt the
champion until the train left the dejiot.
1 he last ‘liat was seen of the doughty Lea
v v l as Kitting in the smoking car of a

“BEN HUR” DID IT.
How Gen. Lew Wallace Was Given the
Turkish Mission.
Thomas H. Nichol, of New York, thus
writes to the Louisville Courier-Journal:
I have just happened to read your grateful
and merited tribute to Gen. Lew Wallace
and the famous book “Ben Hur.” Indulge
me in a bit of the queer history that may
have had an influence in making the fame of
a book and the fortune of an author. A
few- days after Gen. Garfield was inaugu
rated President, I w-as taken sick, and while
confined in my room in the Ebbett House, at
Washington, wanting something to read, I
sent to Mrs. Tyner’s room and askod her to
lend me something to read. She sent me a
number of books, among them “Ben Hur.”
When I got able to be out I was up to the
White House one evening to dinner. Presi
dent Garfield asked me while we were din
ing how I had entertained myself when
housed up. I replied, telling him the
books I had read, and among them “Ben
Hur.”
“Tell me about ‘Ben Hur,’” said he;
“does it amount to anything—is it worth
reading?”
I assured him it was.
“Tell me why,” he persisted; “what makes
it worth reading?”
I answered, if it’s pure invention, it’s good
invention; and if it’s anything like a cor
rect picture of the times, people and inci
dents it deals with, and the result of study,
it’s equally good from tliat standpoint, and
I added the fellow who wrote “Ben Hur”
ought not to be sent to South America—if
you want to send him anywhere send him
to Jerusalem or Egypt or Turkey, where be
can have a chance to see and study Orien
talism, or the traditions of it where it has
been. *.
He said to one of the little boys:
“Irvin, you go to the hotel with Mr. Nichol
and he will give you a book; bring it to
me. ”
Two days after I saw him again; he said
he had read “Ben Hur” “at two pulls” after
going to bed, the two previous nights. Lew
Wallace had been nominated to go to
Uruguay. He immediately recalled the
nomination, and returned the name for Min
ister to Constantinople, and at the same time
wrote Lew Wallace a very complimentary
letter on “Ben Hur,” which has since been
effectively used by the publishers as an ad
vertisement. lam told that it is now the
most popular selling book on Harpei-s' list,
and by several librarians that is the often
est-inquired-for book in their libraries.
The little accidental incidents will con
tinue for many years to keep up an interest
in the book, and would do so none the less,
without being thus definitely told, but the
striking thing is the illustration of the
acute literary taste of the man who, har
assed with cares as Garfield then was, would
snatch the time from sleep to read a I took
the size of “Ben Hur” in two nights. If the
hook proves that Gen. W allace ought never
to have been a General, this incident proves
that President Garfield ought never to have
been a President.
JACK MORRISSEY, HORSEMAN.
Remarkable Career of the Man Who
Owns Montana Regent.
From the Omaha Republican.
A year ago very few people residing out
side the lines of Colorado had heard of John
D. Morrissey, whose offer to back his horse
Montana Regent against “Lucky” Bald
win’s Volante for £IO,OOO in a two-and-a
half-mile race was publishsd yesterday.
Five years ago Morrissey was working at
£4 a day in one of the Leadville mines. To
day his check for $£3,000,000 will be honored
by any bank in the country, and he owns
some of the richest mining property in the
Centennial State. His career has been as
remarkable as that of the lucky San Fran
ciscan whose money he is yearning to win.
Morrissey is an Irishman, about 35 years
of age. When he arrived in Leadville
eight or nine years ago he could neither read
nor write. His illiteracy did not trouble
him much until he began to climb the lad
der to wealth and was forced by circum
stanejer to mingle with the brains, culture
and capital of the great Carbonic Camp.
Then ne employed a private tutor and
studied hard until he was able to sign his
name and l ead the signatures of others.
Morrissey’s ascension to affluence was very
rapid. Ho learned practical mining at
Georgetown, Col., and was working as a
practical miner in the Crown Point property
at Leadville when it was closed down and
offered for sale by disgusted stockholders.
One of these was Joseph Reynolds, of
Chicago, known to fame as “Diamond Joe”
and “The Steamboat King.” Morrissey
whispered something to lym, and Reynolds
said:
“Go ahead, and you will receive one
third of all the ore you turn out.”
Morrissey went ahead, and after working
hard six mouths uncovered the richest body
of wire-silver-bearing ore ever discovered
in the State.
From that moment fortune smiled on
him. As fast as ho made money he invested
it.
The Crown Point is still pouring out
wealth for him, and he receives a share of
the output of the liest mines at Aspen, Red
Cliff, Snowbelly Gulch and other J Hunts
within 100 miles of Leadville.
He has always been a lover and promoter
of square sports. When a working miner
he was prominent in the wrestling and box
ing matches held daily at Leadville, and as
his fortunes increased he rode his hobby
higher.
About three years ago he began to specie
Inteoii the turf and made money “handover
list.”
Last fall he purchased the horse Montana
Regent for a song. Horsemen who know
Mr. Morrissey predict a decrease in Mr.
Baldwin's capital if he enter* Volante
against the Regent. They say the miner
millionaire-turfite never runs to lose.
WERE THEY AVENGERS?
A Strange Recluse In Arkansas
Strangely Slain.
A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., to the
New York Herald says: A man named
John Simpson, who lived alone In a log cabin
at Bayou Bartholomew, in Ashley county,
was found murdered yesterday. The man’s
life was a mystery and his violent taking off
is a sensation in the difficulty of finding an
explanation for it.
Simpson took up the location where he
lived some ten years ago. He cleared a
tract of land anil built u log house. Ho was
a tall, stalwart fellow, with dark hair and
eyes, straight as an Indian. He lived alone,
seldom ventured abroad and avoided the
neighbors. He was always armed with a
double-barreled shotgun. Beyond stating
that he was of gypsy origin liejsaid nothing
respecting his past fife. This fact caused
him to be regarded with suspicion by par
ties living in the immediate neighborhood,
but so secluded was his life that his pres
ence was scarcely known beyond a radius
of five miles of his cabin. "That he had
plenty of money was also a. fact well
known to those who had business relations
with him. ’
Two men visited Simpson’s house several
days ago, remaining over night. Then they
quietly went away.
Parties who wore hunting stray cuttle
passed tlie cabin yesterday and found no
signs of life. The door was broken open
and Bimpsori was found lying on the lied
dead, with his throat cut. The clay floor
was covered with blood and the overturned
furniture and disordered room showed there
had been a (tespemto struggle between the
dead man and liis assailants.
On .Simpson’s person was found a watch
and money, showing that robbery did not
prompt the murder.
It has transpired to-duy that Simpson
was a member of the band of gypsys wno
have headquarters in the vicinity of Jack
son Miss,, and Dayton, 0.. and it is said
tliat he was implicated in a big robbery in
the latter State, fled here with Ids booty and
was followed and slain by members of the
tribe w ho considered
both liiuurii and the jjßttraoe, .
