OLD PaOBS SMILES AGAIN.
An Ideal Christmas Day, Metoorolog
ically Speaking.
Yesterday was an ideal Christmas day,
meteorologically speaking, though a little
warm, perhaps. There was not an intima
tion of a cloud or a shower during the day.
The sunshine was especially grateful a !;er
the rain and mad of the last week.
The maximum temperature for the
day was 72 , and the minimum 54', the
mean temperature boing 12' above the nor
mal for the day. At 8 o’clock last night
fair weather prevailed along the South At
lantic and Florida coasts, Arkansas, Mis
souri, Kansas, Missouri valley, extreme
northwest and along the lower lakes. At
the same hour cloudiness prevail si over
Northwestern Georgia, Lower Mississippi
valley and throughout the Gulf states
with light rain falliug at Atlanta, Vicks
burg and Memphis, tp
Cloudiness prevailed in the Upper Missis
sippi valley, Indiana, upper lake region and
along the North Atlantic and New England
coasts, with rttia falliug at Philadelphia and
Indianapolis and snow at Marquette, St
Paul and Davenport A barometrio trough
or low pressure extends from the upper
lakes southward to tr,e Central Gulf coast
An area of high pressure oovers the Atlantic
seaboard, and a second “bigh”exteuds from
the extreme northwest to Texas.
At 8 o'clock last night the temperature
was 10° below zero in North Dakota, 2" to
4° above zero In Nebraska, 12 above in
Kansas and 14° above in Westera Missouri.
The forecast for Savannah and vicinity is
fair, followed by showers, stationary tem
perature, cooler Saturday night.
Instructions have been rocolved at the
Savannah station by Observer Smyth,noti
fylug the observer of changes in the wind
signals. At stations oa the Atlantic, Pa
cific and Gulf coasts the display of the sig
nal known as the ‘‘cautionary signal” will
be discontinued. The “storm sig ial" will
be displayed as at present, but will be a
warning of an expected wind-velocity in
termediate between the present cautionary
and storm justifying velocities
A velocity of twenty six to thirty-two
rmles is roquirod to justify the displaying
of the storm signal at tbo Savannah station.
At ail wind-signal stations the red pen
nant will be used for the “information sig
nal” instead of the yellow pennnut, and at
stations where "cautionary signals” are dis
played a red flag with a whito contar will
be used for the "cautionary signal” instead
of the yoliow flag with a white center. Tnis
change is made to avoid confusion with the
recognized quarantine signal.
The observer at Havanuah has been spe
cially authorized to hoist signals when in
his judgment the conditions strongly indi
cate wind of sufficient velocity to justify
such action and to hoist, lower, obange
the direction of or continue the signals ac
cording to bis judgment.
OUTS LITTLE THINGS.
The New Postal Cards Out What
They Look Like.
The new postal cards, recently issued by
the Postmaster Uonei al, are out. They are
in two sizes. The smaller is a cute, dudish
little card, not nearly as large as the present
card. It looks as If it were issued simply for
use in the realm of society, it has such a
mild-mannered, inoffensive and unbusiness
like appearance. If it ever reaches any
sphere of utility, it will probably be used
for such brief reminders as “You failed to
call and settle that account as you prom
ised,' 1 or “ Please oall aud see us ut your
earliest convenience.” There isn’t muoh
room for anything more except the signa
ture.
Tbe larger size, in the comer of which is a
crude looking vignette of Gen. Grant in
civilian suit, al first impresses one with tho
idea that it is a decided improvement on the
old stylo of postal. It is a third as large
again, and tbe average business man will
rejoice in the fact that he oan now got
a long letter on the back, typewritten or
otherwise. But the postal clerks are already
protesting against this new postal card, and
their objections will eoou bo appreciated by
the general public.
The new curd is thought by many to be
too large. It is larger than un ordinary
size envelope, and consequently in transit
through the mails must be torn on the
edges when wrapped with tightly drawn
cord with other mail It is estimated that
in every ten letters are one p stal oard.
That one oard placed in a tightly-tied pack
age of letters in transit must necessarily be
out by the cord. This disflguremeut may
mean the obliteration of some important
writing.
RAIL AND CROS3TIS.
The demand of the railroads for more
steel rails has led the manufacturers to esti
mate that not lets than 1,500,QU0 tons will be
turned out next year, which will be about
500,000 more than the output of thjs year.
The sales so far for next year’s doltvery ex
ceed tbe sales of last year at the same
season by nearly tbo same amount.
Among the heavy orders placed recently
were 70,000 tons for tho Pennsylvania; Chi
cago, Burlington and Quiuov, 35,000; Chi
cago and Northwestern, 40,000; Chloago
and Rock Island, 18,000; Norfolk und West

MOT EES SUES SON.
A Quarrel That Involves a Family of
Historic Fame.
FWwn the Xew York Commercial.
A woman with a will of her own. and a
strong will at that, is Mrs. Mary C. Living
ston, who resides at the Murray HiU hotel.
Mrs Livingsmn is the widow of the late
Livingston Livingston and the mother of
rnilip Livingston Livingston, against
whom, jointly with his wife, she has brought
suit for the recon veyance of certain preperty
conveyed by the mother to the sou under
what the mother claims was undue influenoe,
or, as the legal papers more coarsely put it,
“deception and fraud.
AU the parties to the suit are connected
by birth or marriage with almost every
prominent fatndy throughout the state.
The Schuylers, Livingstons, Morrises, Van
Kenjeelaers, De Peysters—all of them aud
more are concerned.
On April 18, 1890. the beauty, the wealth
aod the fashion of the city gathered at St.
Bartholomew’s church to grace the mar
riage of Philip Livingston Livingston ant
Juliet Birchoad Norris, daughter of Wil
liam H. Norris of No, 11 West Fifty-second
street. The honeymoon was i ardly over
when trouble began between Mrs. Living
ston, the elder, aud ter son aud daughter
in-law.
4V hen Livingston Livingston, the lawyer,
died in 1872 he left all his property to his
wife, Including three houses and lots in this
city, to be used as she saw fit, with tbe un
derstanding that their so i, Philip, was to
lie eduoated and cared for ‘ ‘according to bis
position and station in life.” Mrs. Livings
ton was to have absolute control of the
property.
She sent her son through Harvard College
and Columbia Law School, she says in her
oomplaint, at considerable sacrifice to her
self and to the incumbering of her property.
Graduating from the law school the son
entered upon the legal profession and sub
sequently married. Before he married his
mother gave him outright one of the city
houses, accompanied with the not unusual
trimming of a 125,000 mortgage.
Immediately after the honeymoon Mrs.
Livingston conveyed other property to her
son, with the understanding that he was to
pay her un annuity equal to what she could
have realized had she sold the property her
self and invested the proceeds with some
life insurance company.
Her sou had borrowed money from bis
wife on the deeded property, aud out of that
money, she affirms, he paid her first quar
ter’s annuity. She thought she was going
to lose her independence, und asked to nave
the property deeded back, but this tho son
refused to do, on the ground that proDerty
mortgaged so heavily as this was would not
support her if left in her hands.
Mrs. Living ton consulted her lawyer,
Joseph H. Choate. The result was the
present suit. Before the suit was brought,
young Liviugstou oouveved the property to
Edward L. Short, of Davis, Snort & Town
send, as trustee for himself and his mother,
and Mr. Sh'.rt is, therefore, made a party
to the suit.
Philip Livingston alleged in his answer to
the complaint that, notwithstanding his
inothor’a charges, neither his wife nor his
wife’s family had anything to do with his
persuasion of his mother to convey her prop
erty to him, which is corroborated by the
Norris family.
Livingston, it is said, has been willing at
all times to convey the property baok to his
mother under any conditions that may as
sure her maintenance but at present he
feels compelled to defeud tho suit on account
of the imputation upon his honor.
The whole amount involved in tbe contro
versy, so far as money is concerned, will not
reach above >20,000. Mrs. Livingstou has
said that she never meant to accuse her son
of deliberate iraud and deceit, but supposed
that tho term must be used for legal pur
poses.
Nevertheless it is known that Mrs. Liv
ingston never fav red her sou’s marriage
with Miss Norris, aud that out of this oppo
sition has grown a bitterness of feeling un
til thore has been engendered what is per
haps fittingly denominated a “ woman’s
quarrel.” ,
Mrs. Livingston, it is said, strongly ob
jected to an aunt of her son’s wife making
one of the Norris household after the mar
riage. Young Mrs. Livingston did not wish
to leave her father, ho being advanced In
years and her mother being dead. So the
aunt came to look after tbe aged Mr. Norris.
She had been for years a mother to the
motherless girl.
The Norrises and the Livingstons have
intermarried for generations, and there is
no account on record of any important
family feud. Mrs. Livingston, the plaintiff
in this case, is a Williamson, a de
scendant of a former governor aud a United
States senator from that state. Who the
Livingstons and the Norrises are no one
need be told.

THE STAGE-COACH BABY.
IT WAS NIGH UNTO DEATH AND
WORRIED THE PABSENQERS.
But Was Only a Wax Ona After AU and
Fart of a Clever Western Scheme to
Fool the Road Agents—lt Worked
Lika a Charm, so This Btory Goes.
From the Detroit Free Fret*.
“Go home, lujuns, go home,” said the
man on the cracker box, "this is the hour
for every sneaking son of a Winnebago to
say his leetle ‘now I lay me’ in tbe reserva
tion. Git!” aod be pointed to the door of
the rendezvous with a gesture that admitted
of no delay.
"Them copper-colored coyotes would set
thar like alabaster Imagoes all night and
the hull ofter-morrow if there weren’t
somebody to boot them off. An’ they lissea
an’ don’t onderstand a word but look so
pizen Snowin’ you’d think they wuz drinkin’
it all in.”
The Indians filed out, and without a
sound disappeared into tbe night, and the
usual complement of visitors gathered at
the stove with the man on tho cracker box
os a oenter-piece. There was a man who
was selling patent clothes-reels, and another
who was selling Bibles, old Capt. Lemming
and the postmaster and a man from the
Missouri bottoms whose team was hitched
outside. Ho told them that ho expected his
“old woman” and "little gal" by the stage,
which was usually late.
“Speakiu’ of the stage," said the man on
the cracker box, "I’m regularly glad 1 ain't
in It. Onot over them driveways twixt
here and Omaha was enough for me. No.
thankee, pard, if I can’t go by steam, then
I stays where I be. I’ve no notion for trav
elin’ with wimmin and sick babies iu a
stage coach."
“Tell us ’bout it, can’t ye!” suggested the
clothes-reel man, who was dying of what
he called “endway” at being* stranded lu
such a forlorn place.
" ’Taint so much to tell,” said tbe crack
er box man, cutting off a good-sized chew
from the “pig” of tobacoo offered to him,
“an’ I guess I can wind it up afore the
stage gets here, but the doin’ and sufferin’
of it is what hurts my feelin’s.to think
when I warnted to whoop and holler, that
I kept it all in just on account of that good
for-nothing’—say! I’m getting ahead of
my story.
“Bovs, d’ye ’member when the bridge
over Pigeon river was built, an’ what a lot
of money aud work an’ political shenanigan
it took, an’ how pictersof the fine structure,
as they called it, was in them Now York
papers an’ how gut up all the feliers on the
prairie felt cause they didn’t have to take
off their shoes an’ stockings an’ ford the
crick. An’ how the work was well under
w-y when the $5,000 necessary to finish it off
was sent out by sposhel messenger? Bay,
I was on the stage when the feller
with that money started to come through.
There was four or five of us on tho inside
of the ooach that day, and one woman with
a sick baby— she was tryin’ to get it home
to her folks afore it died, she said. She
was young an’ pretty, but her eyes wore
red from oryin’ an’ takin’ care of the young
un day an 1 night. She didn’t have much to
say to any of us, but when she looked at us
with them big sorrowful eyes our hearts
just went down into our boots, and we
would have laid down au’ let her walk over
us.
"The baby was wrappod up in shawls
an’ veils and lay on a pillow an’ was fed
with one of them nussin-bottles, an’ it
whined and orie l a leetle, in a faint, siok
way, an’ the mother kissed and cooed to it
an’ sung leetle hymns that made us all get
colds iu our head, an’ she feared it was get
tin’ worse and would die afore she got
home I She was goin’ to the fur end of the
stage route, she said, with her voice full of
tears.
“The t’other passenger that interested ns
rid ou the box with the driver. I don’t
know how it was that we savoyed right off
that he was the feller that had the money
for that bridge! I guess that it were on tho
same principle that the birds of tbe air know
when to get together an’ go south—a kind
of instinct. Fact was we didn’t oitton
rightly to that bridge scheme. We thought
the next county were putting on airs with
a wrought iron bridge out on the prairie
for the cows to hoof over. But tweren’t
any of our funeral and we didn’t make it
one.
“But that feller with a cloak with a cape
to It, sot up on deck a seelu’ tbe landscape
o’er, as the old byinn ses, an’ a lookin’
kinder rich an’ satisfied, jes told on himself,
an’ vre kiuder wondered whar be kept the
spondullos, if he hed ’em in his boots, or in
a belt, or bis hat linin'. Au’ we got to
talkiu’ it over inside, an’ the leetle woman
spoke up kind o' quick en’, ses she: ‘Don’t,
please ! my baby is worse,’ an’ sure eauff it
were, on’ had a kinder convulsion that
made us feel os if ws were murderers for
disturbin' of it.
“An’ then something happened. Tbe
horses fus took to gallopin’, au’ there was a
pistol shot, an’ the stage stopped so quiok
we was all in a heap. Tbe little woman
grabbed her baby an’ its piller an’ laid ’em
both on the seat, an’ hung over them. Jest
then the door of tbe stage flew open an’ a
bead was stuck in. It were thot of a man
with a mask on, an’ he had a pistol pinted
ahead of him.
“ 'Get out. you fellers,’ ho says in a low
voice, but as plain as ye ever heard in yer
life; ‘be lively, now. We're In a hurry,
we ain’t gola’ to hurt yer if so ye obey
orders.’
"‘Sh-sh-sh!’ said tho leetle woman who
was hanging over her yonng un, her face
down close to its lips. ‘Gentlemen, my
poor child is going—let it die iu peace.’
“ ‘Bother the brat,’ says the man, bru
tally, ‘we ain’t enny business with wimmin
an’ children—this way, fellers.’
“When we got out there was three high
waymen an’ they had the driver an’ the
young feller with tbe overcoat oovered with
their pistols, an’ were swearin’.llke troop
ers ’cause they didn’t find any money—that
is, not the big haul they expected. They
took what we had, an' after abusin’ us all
they dared, an’ tearin’ our clothes off to
search us, they let us go, firin’ a reg’lar fu
silade after us an’ emptyin’ their revolvers,
1 might have bin very differently situated
if I hadn't met with suoh misfortune; but
it can’t be helped now. ’’
“Lose muoh ?’ asked tbe Bible peddler, as
he lighted his pipe at the stove.
“All I had,” and the cracker box man
sighed heavily, “an’ a bull’s-eye watch my
grandfather carried in the revolutionary
war.”

“Did the baby die, an’ what become of the
young feller and the money?” asked the
clothes-reel man.
“The baby died right there an’ then. The
mother were a fannin’ it when the stage
started up agatn, and we wer’nt more’n out
of sight o’ them robbers when she began to
scream, and says she, ’my baby’s dead I’ and
she drew the shawl over its face and
wouldn’t allow one of us to lay a finger
on It.
“Then the feller on the outside, who has
been putty roughly handled, came in, and
it 'peared that he was her brother, tho’ why
be didn’t show up afore was kind o’ queer.
Howsuraevor, ho says, says he:
“It’s all over, is it, sis?”
•‘And she looks up kind of strange an’
goes off into a fit of higbstrikes that feared
us most os bad as the other performance
did.”
“What became of the money?” asked the
Bible peddler.
“I’m cornin' to thet. When we got to
Decatur I steeped off, ’cause I’d got borne,
an’ so did some of the others. But the
loetle woman kept on, an’ I heered later
that the baby wasn’t no baby at all, but a
bogus one made of wax, an’ the cry was put
Into it, and so were the money, every dollar
of it, an’ the young feller wore loaded,
too, so if the robbers had touched the kid
there’d had bin some sharp shootln’
it was a shame, I Tow, to work on our feel
in’s as tbat loetle woman did, keepin’ us all
anxious as a revival meettu’, but she got
the funds through safe an’ sound, whou
there wasn’t no banks nor express offices in
that port of the country. Bhe were the
wife of the man who were building tbe
bridge. It were a sharp racket, though, an’
she worked it for all it were worth. That’s
the stage now humpin’ itself. G’atght.

TWO LICN3 AT BAY.
Thrilling Adventure of a Party of
Hunters to Mexico.
From the Philadelphia Timee.
There has been groat excitement prevail
ing among the ranchman of the valley of
the Sierra Mad re for some weeks over the
depredations committed upon their flocks of
sheep and herds of oattle by some beast of
prev. What this robber was no one could
say with any exactness, for uniting au ex
traordinary degree of cunning with great
speed of foot, the vogue invariably managed
to elude all pursuit. Morning after morn
ing some he roar would report a cow, uelt or
sheep done to death with a cruel wound in
its throat, from which the assassin had
drained its warm life’s blood. But the dead
care ts', was all that remained to toll the
story of tbe coming and going of tbo
spoiler, for uo shadow left less trace of its
presence.^
This enemy of their herds was all the
more feared by the cattle u. a, as there was
uo guessing where the next victim was to
be found, for with incredible rapidity of
movement tbe animal seemed to scour the
country for miles in every dlrootiou, seek
ing with all the fostidtoumess of a true
eploure the tenderest lambs and choicest
brand of cattle. Tho herds themselves
seemed to know that some foe lurked near,
and as night wouid huddle together at it for
mutual protection.
At lost matters reached a climax when
the flue imported Durham cow "with a
long pedigree” of one of tbe wealthy stock
owners ol the viotoity stray,d away from
her comfortable stall, and with the curiosity
of her sex was investigating the country
when ebe was set trpon by the mysterious
beast of prey. She was found literallv
torn to pieces, and It was evident that the
oow, a young one, had endeavored to make
some fight for her life, for her horns were
stained with blood, aud a trail of blood
loading to a thicket close at hand indicated
that tbo animal that had killed her had not
escaped without a wound.
It nd been believed from the first that
tbe depredator bad made its descent from
the mountains, to which it would return
after each orgy, aud on bloodhounds being
sent for and placed on the trail, tho dogs
led at once toward the rugged peaks that
frown down on this fair valley. The blood
stains oeased with tho thicket, so it was con
cluded that tbe animal had not boon very
severely wounded, and no further traces of
its passage were visible in the open oountry,
though the dogs showed no hesitation on the
trail. Tho hunting party numbered nearly
a dozen, and was composed of local nim
rods, who scented fine sport on the occasion,
and stookmen, each or whom had the loss
of one or more flue blooded sheep or oow to
avenge.
After some ten or twelve miles of steady
travel facing the chill mountain that frosted
the air aud spurred the wiry little Mexican
ponies into a brisk trot, the party reached
the little stream of Rio Natuiquipa, where
the dogs paused. Here they souraed puzzled
at some sudden turn tho trail had taken, for
they ran here and there for some minutes,
finally breaking away up tho river.
The dogs were observed after a while to
gather about a clump of oactuß plants that
marked the first rise of the mountains
proper, then to go on and finally disappear
behind a mass of fallen bowlders. Ac tilts
the party urged on their ponies, and it was
evident that tbo game was near at band.
Old Leauder, at the clump of oaotus, dis
mounted, and after a brief examination of
the disturbed sand, deolared at this place
tbe wounded animal had lain down to rest,
while the other, probably its mute, had
stood by. As the hunter paused hare, the
loud barking of the dogs wns heard at some
little distance, so, clapping spurs to the
ponies, the party went for want at a gallop.
The hounds were found to have gathered
about a small heap of earth aud stones on
which stood an enormous mountain lion,
defying them with blazing eyes and waving
tufted tail A magnificent nialo. with tawny
skin marked with velvety black, a bearing
as full of pride as any monorah of Arabian
desert, and a roar tbat woke the oohoes in
the mountain gorges far above his defiant
head. The yellow smoothness of his side
was broken by a jagged wound outlined in
dark, clotted blood, but bis courage was
undaunted by the yelping pack of dogs that
surrounded him, making false starts at him,
yet afraid to attack him.
Of bis mate nothing was seen. The hunt
ers, each anxious to claim tbe lion as his
trophy, pressed forward, and, aiming over
the surging mass of honnds, fired upon the
majestio creature facing death so reso
lutely. Wounded in half a dozen places,
the lion sprang into the air with a scream
of agony and rage, then fell, to be instantly
covered by the dogs, barking in ourrisb tri
umph over a defeated foe.
But they had flattered themselves too
soon that the prey was theirs, for with a
desperate courage the lion struok out right
and left, sending his enemies heels over
head with blows of his powerful paws, aud
ripping and tearing with his unsheathed
olaws and giant molars. Their red blood
mingled with his own and dyed the saud
crimson, and they gave baok for an iustunt,
until, seeing that the mountain king was
dying oven as ho fought, thfy returned to
the battle.
But as they fell upon him a roar from the
frowning bights of the mountains pro
claimed that another foe was nt hand. Tho
mate was returning and had scented the
t attle from afar. In another moment the
looped into view, pausing on the pinnacle of
a tall spire of rock and surveying the scene
below with an angry cant of her sleek, cat
like head.
Outlined against tho tender blue of the
morning sky she seemed a carving of yellow
marble, but only for one brief moment, for
as her topaz eyes caught sight of her dead
mate and the frantic dogs, she sprang down
to tho crag next beneath her, just us a volley
of shots shattered tho extreme end ot tho
one she bad that instant left. She de
scended with magniflnent bounds tbat sent
her lithe body from peak to peak with in
credible rapidity, paying not the slightest
apparent attention to tho dogs or the
hunters, and seemingly only to see the fallen
monarch below. abo reached the little
gorge where he lay. A second Volley had
failed to stay her as she cams bounding
down, but now a third greeted her as she
sprang from the lost spur of rock and a gush
of crimson blood marked where some bullot
hod found a home In her auivering flank.
Tbeu for the first time she seemed to no
tice her human foes, and, leaping to tbesfde
of her dead mate, faced them with a roar
of defiance, even as she beut her bend and
licked tho bloody carcass at her feet. The
dogs, taking this for a sign of timidity, flew
at her ferociously, but tho lioness, rendered
furious and reckless by her mate’s death,
met this attack with a savage determina
tion that seat several away yelping,
■wounded severely, and stretched others
dead, while all hesitated to continue the
fight.
Turntug once more to her dead compan
ion, she bestowed one lost loving caress on
bis stiffened form and then faced the moun
tain, and would have sprung away had not
the hunters, who lied feared to fire upon her
before lest they wound the dogs instead,here
succeeded in breaking one of her shoulders
by a single shot out of a score. She fell
forward with a hoarse cry of dospair and
rolled over on the yellow sands that drank
her blood. Once more the dogs attacked
her, aid though she fought tbemlike a fury,
with tearing tooth aud clawing nail, they
mastered her.
Again and again she endeavored to right
herself, only to fall forward on the broken
bone, while her determined foes tore at bor
limbs and sought her slender throat. The
hunters endeavored to call off the frantic
hounds, but they oould pot be induced to
leave their prey, to wbii b they dung until
the beautiful, wild creature lay dead aud
mangled beside her mate.

SENATOR FELTON’S CAREER.
He Was a Plucky Dandy In Hla Earlier
Days.
Charles N. Felton of California, ona of
the new senators sworn Id on Monday last,
says a Washington letter to tbe New York
Sun, has an eventful career. He is a
uative of New York state, and was a
forty-niner. When a mare boy he entered
the California gold fields, migrating from
camp to comp in the restless fashion pecul
iar to the miners of tbe great west. He was
always neatly and almost fastidiously
dressed, aod for this he was satirized by his
oompaai ms In oamp. who did not attempt
to conceal their contempt for tbe "dandy,”
who was very oareful to brush every speck
of dirt from his olotbes and wipe the
dust from his polished high-heeled boots.
His linen was always clean
and nicely starched. Felton was
not much disposed to mingle indiscrimi
nately amoug the "boys," yet, withal, he
was sociable enough In a quiet, superior
way, and was not unpopular with a major
ity of his companions. He was known to
be “dead gams,” and this in the early days
of California covered a multitude of hum.
He became a candidate for sheriff of Yuba
county. His opponent preferred serious
charges against the young New Yorker. It
was alleged from tbe stump that he im
ported his white shirts, and that they cost
st> each. Feltou lguored these allegations
as long as he could, but when tbe popular
clamor against him became too pronounced
he met the accusations in this wise:
"You see these clothes 1 They’re mine;
I bought and paid for them. I Imported
theae shirts and my studs are genuine. Cal
ifornia laws do not forbid my wearing
them if I choose. I will continue to wear
what I please, and if you don’t like it you
oan go to hell."
Btraugely enough he was elected, but hy
a bore majority. In the year 1854. or thore
ubouts, a mob collected at Maryiville and
took a prisoner from the Jail to hang him.
Mike Gray, at that time oelebrated for his
fiUsbustermg exploit in Nicaragua, arrived
iu the town, and. approaching the young
sheriff, this dialogue ensued:
"Young man, what’s your namof”
“Feltou."
“For tho love of God, you’re not the
sheriff, are you?"
“ I am the sheriff."
"Do you ses that man over there?” point
ing to the wretch who was oven then hav
ing the noose adjusted around hla nook.
“I see him.”
"Are you aware that you have a duty to
perform? Havo you a pistol ?”
“Then follow me.”
These two aocompaniod by two others,
arrived at the spot. Felton stood up iu a
wagon, surrounded by tho mob, aud mo
tioned for silence. He was then and has
ever since been noted for his opigrammatio
•pneeb. Bald ho:
“Genti, you are many and we are few,
but if you don’t glvo us that prisoner we
will got some of you.”
Aud with tills they flashed four revolvers
before the astonished eyes of tbe mob. The
prisoner was finally rescued and marched
back to tho jail at tho top of a hill, followed
bv the howling mob with pistols drawn.
Felton was afterward elected to the lmpor
tant and lucrativo oflioe of tax collector of
Yuba county. After a time he went to
Ban Francisoo, became a stook operator,
aud was interested in tho Bpring Val
ley Water Company, whloh supplies
water to tho oity of Ban Francisco. For
tunate land speculations in Alameda
county, of which Oakland is the oouuty
seat, increased his wealth. He held the
office of sub-treasuror of the United Btatos
at Sau Francisco for a term of years, was
twice eleoted assemblyman, and was once
defeated. In the legislature ho was noted
for an ability to crowd more Into a throo-
minute speech than any inaa in the state.
He was twice elected to congrats. His
services iu that body gave him uo great
reputation for either oratory or statesman
ship. In March, 1891, he was eleoted
United States senator to succeed George
Hearst, deceased. His principal com
petitor was Morris M. Estoo. During the
contest a story was circulated and published
to the effeot tbat Estee, rummaging in a
waste basket one day, brought forth ahand
ful of small pieces of paper, whloh, being
fitted together, proved to be a list of legis
lators, with some figures and a dollor mark
sot opposite each namo, and that these legis
lators voted for Mr, Felton. Tbe assembly
of California usually oontains a number of
politicians openly charged with being oor
rupt, and many of tho stories told about
tbs use of money in Senate campaigns
are generally believed. It was formally
charged that tho Southern Paoifto
railroad contributed money to defeat Kites,
and Sonator Stanford stole a march on hla
enemies aud left for tbo east just as a sub
poena was to be issued for him to appear in
court and produce the book of the com
pany, of which ho is president. The grand
iury is now investigating the matter. Mr.
felton was acquitted of any wrongdoing,
as was shown by his election. The new
senator is a millionaire and lives in luxury
at Menlo Park, San Frauoisco, where he is
a neighbor of bis oolleague, Senator Leland
Stanford.
OUKINO AN IDIOT.
A Baby's Skull Serttred Open to Le
Its Brain Expand.
From the JVsto York Evening Sun.
An English surgeon has just performed
an extraordinary operation by which he has
turned an idiot into an intelligent child.
The subject of this operation was a child
about 1 year old whose head, when the body
began to grow, remained of the size of a
newltom child’s. This was owing to the
faot that the cranium was hermetically
sealed and of a hardness which made the
growth of tho brain impossible. The bnby
grew without a ray of intelligence illu
minating its face, and the parents, tired of
weeping, almost wished the death of the
Idiot, when the surgeon resolved to risk the
great operation.
In the presence of a certain number of
colleagues, whom he wished to be witnesses,
he split with his scalpel the cranial box of
tbe pntient, and with his Angers removed
the cervical matter adhering to the skull.
The opening in the osseous box was main
tained and oovered by leather with an anti
septic dressing under it. The operation,
oonducte l with unheard of eaie and minute
precautions, lasted an hour and a half.
The child remained unconscious under
the influence of anaesthetics, and did not
make a cry.
The wound healed rapidly. As it did so
tbe patient gained intelligence, and was
like any other child at tbe end of a month.
Mrs. Henry Viplabu has presented to How
ard University in Washington a bust of her
father, William Lloyd Garrison.
