LOWER PRICES IN TRADE.
THE VOLUME OF BUSINESS LARGER
BUT PROFITS SMALLER
Money in Plentiful Supply and the Ex
traordinarily Heavy Exports Attract
ing Attention—More Business in Iron,
But Prices Weakened by the Heavy
Output—The Week’s Failures.
New York, Jan. 29. —The business fail
ures occurring throughout the country dur
ing the last week, as reported to R. O. Dun
&Co.,numler for the United States 253
and for Canada 44, a total of 297, against
S2B last week. It is undeniable that there
exists a considerable feeling of disappoint
ment. More business tut at lower prices
seems to be the ruie. That the volume of
trade is gradually increasing, even in the
branches which have been dullest, there
seems to be no doubt But in an unusual
number of oases the increased sales appear
to be the result of some yieldicg In prices,
so that the average decline in the prices of
all commodities during the past week has
been more thau one-half of 1 per cent.
MONEY PLENTIFUL.
Money oontinues in large supply and ex
traordinary export* in December, amount
ing to almost $120,000.000 against not quite
*00,000.000 last year, attract especial atten
tion. The foreign trade of the country in
1801 was greater in exports and also in im
ports than that of any previous year.
There is no more business done in iron
but the increase in the weekly output since
the unprecedented report of Dec. 1 has
weakened the price so that the Wise com
pany has reduced No. 1 anthracite to sl7 SD,
and Bessemer iron is 50 cents lower at Pitts
burg. Bar iron is dull at Philadelphia and
weak at Chicago. The market for plates is
demoralised by large production, while
some structural iron mills are short of
work.
REPORTS FROM OTHER CITIES.
Reports from other cities generally indi
cate a gradual increase In the volume of
trade. At Philadelphia iron is quiet and
coal demoralized, but dry goods are more
aotive and the grocery trade larger than
last year. Paints, oils, glass and jowolry
are quiet and chemicals steady.
At Baltimore the jobbing trade is quiet,
but manufacturing brisk.
Pittsburg reports finished weaker and
*nany flint glas works closed by dull trade.
In dry goods there seeins to be rather less
activity as to cotton goods, and in knit
goods some dullness. Clothiers are con
servative, and are waiting for indications
of popular fancy, and hence the men’s wear
■woolen trade is perplexing. The stocks on
hand are short, but the demand is also short,
apparently because the freaks of the public
fancy last year wore suoh as to warn manu
facturers and clothiers against over hasty
action. There is a better feeling in the
wool market, however, at New York, as at
Boston, and continuing sales prove that
manufacturing has by no means ceased.
COTTON LOWER.
Cotton is an eighth lower at
7% cents with enormous receipts
for the season and sdes of 837,000
bales here. While both receipts aud ex
ports fall somewhat behind those of last
year for the same week, the Indications
still point to a very large crop.
The money markets throughout the
country are unusually well supplied, but iu
part because the demand is only moderate.
Collections aro generally improving or de
cidedly good. At New York money on call
bas declined from 2 to ltf percent., and the
treasury bas paid out about #2,700,000 more
than it has taken iu during the week.
FOREIGN TRADE.
The course of the foreign trade makes the
absence of gold imports somewhat note
worthy. The exports from New York for
the four weeks of January have been #ll,-
193,600, or 42.9 per cent, larger than for the
same weeks last year. whilsin exports there
has been a slight decrease, which
■would point to an excess of exports over
Imports amounting to about #32,000,000
for the month against #20,000,000 last Jan
uary. Yet foreign exchange is stronger,
having risen during the week from #4 85%
to #4 86, aud the unsteadiness of the stock
market is supposed to be due to consider
able sales of securities by foreign holders
who may not unnaturally And attractive
opportunities in the weakness of govern
ment and corporate securities in their owu
countries.
WESTERN POKER GAMES.
Instances Where Mines and Houses
Were Wagered on Small Hands.
From the Denver Sun.
There are stories of a man who held four
kings and the man who came back at him
with aces. Kings and aoes are the leading
features of the poker story tellers’ reper
toire, but as a Denver expert at this Bort of
thing said reoently, there is “more down
right devilment in a small hand than in
aces out of two packs.” There have tieeu
some good pokor hands held in Colorado,
but veryfewof the phenomenal sort. “Two
pairs" have created widespread consterna
tion several times.
Poker is a Colorado game. It is only ex
celled in popularity by that favorite of the
mining camp, faro, but those who play
poker do not always play faro, and to theso
there is nothing like a “quiet little ante up
stairs." The amount of stakee has cut a
greater figure in poker games in the Cen
tennial State than the bands held. Thera
are instances ranging from the man who bet
his sleeve buttons to the man who put up
his mine.
Down on Sixteenth street, at the south
west corner of Blake, there now stands a
two-story brick business block, bearing
some evidence of the flight of time, yet
still sound aud solid, and capable of use for
years. In 1870 part of the ground floor of
this building was used by the First National
Bank, and another part by Wolfe Londoner
ns a grocery store. Overhead were offices,
and in one of these offices there occurred
one eveniug in April of that year a poker
game. The owner of the building sat at
this game, and opposite him was a then
prominent Denver man. Both were promi
neut, in fact, for one held a high executive
office in the territory at the time.
There were five at this game originally,
but somehow it dwindled down to two, and
at 11:30 o’clock at night a large amount of
money had changed hands aud things were
going bad for the owner of the building.
There was no limit. His opponent had been
‘•going him” for quite a tune, and he was
about at the end of the rope. There was
already four bank checks up. but the owner
of the block, believing ho had a good thing,
■wanted to know if his building wasn’t
worth #OO,OOO, and was informed that it
was. Thereupon he made a written agree
ment to sign it over and the game went on.
He lost the block and it changed hands.it
is said, as a consequence, and the only re
covery he made from the person who won
it was at another sitting at pokor the fol
lowing night, when he came out S3S,OCX)
ahead. Cf course none of the hands hold
in this memorable game are on record now
but it is known that not one was remark’
able.
In Santa Fe, N. M., there is a record of a
prominent business man giving a bill of sale
for his stock of dry goods, groceries, etc.,
amounting to SBO,OOO. The bill of sale
went into a little, quiet game, played as
long ago as 1864, and was not lost for the
reason that no one could show up anything
excelling a king full, which the merchant
considered a good tnlng to oling to.
This instance is paralleled by one that
comes from Leadville and credited wit-i
having occurred therein the winter of 1882.
This (jams, which occurred in one of the
rooms of the Clarence hotel, was partici
pated in by two gentlemen who aro still re
sidents of Colorado and who are now
wealthy. They b-d a little money at the
time and a miue in which they held an
equal interest. The money was not much,
perhups, as fortunes go nowadays, but it
■ was enough to make a poker game exciting.
And it was exciting.
Finally each got a hand which they evi
dently proposed to stay with, and every
thing went up—money, two gold watches
and the Indispensat.le bank checks. It was
only a matter of time when they would get
to the mine. Finally there was quite a
pause.
“Have you got anything else, Charley I”
“How much is the mine worth f”
“Your interest about SIO,OOO, I guess.”
"I’ve gat that, and raise you.”
So the other interest went in. “Charles’ ”
winning hand showed two deuces, a three
and a four. His tris-a-ris held two kings,
two aces and a three, neither of them
sensational bands, yet considered good
enough to bold out with a mine at stuke.
This mine is now producing ore valued at
about as much per month as the entire
property was worth at the time of the poker
game.
In a poker game played in Denver one
J ulv day in 1884 there were four diamond
rings, two watches, $5,000 in money, two
pairs of handsome and costly sleeve
buttons and a number of scarf pins. In
this game sat an ex-governor, a well
known smelter man, an eastern congress
man and a Californio miner. The man from
the east scooped in the pot and won by a
“straight,"
Six thousand dollars’ worth of gold in nug
gets was won by a a lucky poker player in
Denver in 1871. They came from Clear Creek
county, and were brought here for the pur
pose of being put In a bank. It was strictly
a miners’ game, with all sorts of blufiing,
and it lasted all night, with the result that
the man with the nuggets did not place tuurn
in a hank, for the reason that be had too
much confidence in a paralyzing hand in
which three tens were conspicuous, while
bis opponent had something worth photo
grapning—three jacks, twoulnes.
A rather singular poker game was one
played in Denver about two years ago, and
is remembered by a number of prominent
people who witnessed it. There were five
sitting in that game and all stayed in. One
gentleman drew one card, another two
cards and the three others three apiece.
The man who drew three cards raised and
was followed up until there was SIB,OOO at
stake on tho game. The first gentleman, it
transpired, was running a beautiful bluff
on two pairs, while the man who had drawn
two cards laid down an ace full, and those
who had drawn three each laid down in
turn four queens, four tens and four jacks.
It is sail that this is the only Instance of
the kind where cards ran in suoh a way in
Colorado. Tho game was played at the
Windsor, and there was a railroad man,
an ox-mayor, a lawyer and two prominent
business men in it.
An amusing instance is reported as occur
ring on a stook train coming from a point
in New Mexico to Colorado. A large ship
ment of steers was made to this point, aud
the owners of the cattle traveled in a ca
boose. There were four of them. Now,
there is only one natural result of four New
Mexico cattlemen traveling togetbor in a
car for any length of time, and that is a
poker game. There is a great deal of
beautiful scenery on the wav up from New
Mexico, but scenery is choap and not al
ways novel to look at. With poker it Is an
other story.
The game went along very well for a
conple of days. On the third day the con
ductor, going through the caboose durlug
the afternoon, was laid out with astonish
ment at hearing ths remark: “I raise you
five steers." Suiting the action, the person
who spoke them put five matches on the
board. Ha was followed up with more
matches, each one representing a steer, and
still the game went on. When the ship
ment arrived In Denver it was owned by
two instead of four men.
ALLURING WHITE.
It Bewitches Men and So Gives Women
One Blissful Moment.
From Music and Drama.
Did you ever know the ardent admira
tion men have for white? If a man be in
love with a woman and has not yet told
her, a white frock made of soft, pretty
material will make him tell her she is tho
most adorable woman on earth, and for the
moment It Is one of those precious illusions
that form the charm of life.
Do women like these illusions? Yes! Yes!
They moke up for the many miserable
moments of pretense; moments when she
looks the world in the face with smiling
lips and bright words. When among the
gay she is seemingly the gayest, and all the
while her eyes are full of unshed tears over
things whioh she cannot alter.
When she grows tired of Liding her true
feelings. In concealing her loves and her
hatreds. In covering her sorrows, even her
J Then she tells you she roally does not
care to go some place or get some particular
thing, and all the timo her whole being is
aching to be gra.ifled. Wheu she looks
back and regrets; looks forward and dreads.
When she strives to banish thought and
strangle memory, and all tho while her
spceca is tilled with mirth and laughter.
When her existence is colorless, whioh
she could alter,but would not, for some one’s
sake.
In such moments as these it Is that she ap
preciates these little illusions, which please
her for the moment and then pass away, yet
in passing loavo a trace. So be not sparing
iu words that will lead to them. Do not
keep your precious words locked as a miser
doeß his coin; put them in circulation. Let
them get worn, perhaps, in handling, but
they will always be sure to bring happi
ness.
So wlion you see a woman with smiling
lips and sad-looking eyes, praise her. That's
what she wants. She is starving for it and
here eyes are mutely begging for it. And
yet she hides it all and you are so stupid you
will not see it.
I’raise her even exceedingly. She will not
believe you, perhaps. But she likes it and
will bless you for it.
DESPERATE FIGHT WITH A MOOSE.
Two Indian Hunters Killed By an Old
Bull Which They Had Wounded.
From the New York Herald.
Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 17.—A gentleman
who has just oome to this city from Rat
Portage, Min.,tolls of a desperate fight made
by a wounded moose with two Indians and
the killing of tho latter by the animal. The
Indians were hunting near the Lake of the
Woods and came across a band of moose,
consisting of an old bull and a cow and two
calves.
The Indians were armed with old guns
and knives. One shot at the bull moose and
hit the the animal in the shoulder, wound
ing him in such a manner that he could not
run fast. They ran after him, firing again
aud again, but with no success, until at last
the moots turned upon them, and, as they
had followed closely, they had but little
time to get out of his way.
Tho moose rushed at the Indiaus, aud one
of them, as he turned to get away, tripped
on a root and fell at the feet of tho enraged
brute. He at once trampled and cut the
man with his hoofs in a most terrible man
ner, aud did not leave him until life was
extinct. Meanwhile the other Indian was
doing all in his power to save his companion
and was stabbing the moose with his knife,
having discarded the gun as being useless
for fear it might hurt the mau who was
down.
When the moose had satisfied its rage upon
the man that was down it turned upon the
other and threw him to the. earth, where it
attacked him as savagely as it had his com
panion, and soon the second Indian was dead
also. They were missed by their compan
ions and a party came up just as tho mau
was dead and tho au.mal fell to the
earth exhausted from his many wounds
which had been made by the knife of the
last victim, fhe moose was the largest
ever seen iu this part of the country and
stood fully 10 feet high to the top of its
antlers.

RULES FOR THE HOUSE.
! WIDE VARIANCE FROM THE TOPIO
IN THE HOUSE DEBATE.
; The Medals Awarded the Officers and
Crew of the cruiser Baltimore by
the King of Sweden—A New Orator
in the Person of Mr. Bailey of Texas.
Washington, Jan. 29. —In the House to
day, after the reading and approval of the
! lournal, Mr. Campbell of New York at
i tempted to secure the floor in ordar to as*
: the Immediate passage of a joint resolution
! authorizing the department of state to de-
I liver to the officers and crew of the
United States steamer Baltimore 354
medals presented to them by the
King of Sweden to commemorate
the services rendered by them in transport
ing the remains of Mr. Ericcson to Sweden,
but Mr. Catching* of Mississippi demanded
the regular order, and the House proceeded
to further consideration of tha report of the
committee on rule l . The pending amend
ment was that offered by Mr. Hemphill of
South Carolina, withdrawing from the
jurisdiction of the aDpropriations committee
the appropriation for the support of the
District of Columbia.
In speaking to tbisjfamendrnent, Mr.
Blount, who had many ysars’ experience
as chairman aud member of tho committee
on postottices and postroads, replied to
soino remarks previously made by Mr.
Holman, reflecting upon the increase in the
expenditures forthe postal service. He (Mr.
Blount) denied that there had been any ex
travagance in that service. The increase
of the appropriations had grown out of the
prosperity of the republic. [Applause.]
SAYRES OPPOSES THE SCHEME.
Mr. Sayres of Texas was opposed to Mr.
Hemphill’s proposition, and contended that
it was in the interest of good government
and public economy that the expenditures
for the District of Columbia should remain
under the control of the appropriations
committee.
While Mr. Sayres was speaking he was
frequently interrupted by Mr. Hemphill
and by Mr. Heard of Missouri, but there
was so much confusion in the hall that their
voices did not reach the reporter's ears. In
vaiu did t e speaker appeal for the restora
tion of order. He was finally compelled to
call upon the sergeant-at-arms to aid In the
preservation of some degreo of quiet.
HEMPHILL CRITICIZES TUB COMMITTEE.
Mr. Hemphill, in advocating his amend
ment. criticised the committee on appropri
ations for endeavoring to hold on to every
thing It could gat, and ridiculed the idea of
economy entertained by some people, which
consisted in taking money from tne people
and keeping it os long as they could.
Mr. Breckinridge of Arkansas argued that
the policy of distribution of the appropria
tion bills bad not eontributed to economy.
Mr. Hooker of Mississippi gave his adher
ence to the doctrine of distribution of the
appropriation bills. That distribution
had been made on account of rebellion
against the immense power exercised by the
committee on appropriations. It had
worked well, and he could see no reason
why the district committee should be given
jurisdiction over the expenditures for the
support of the district.
Mr. Hemphill closed the debate in favor
of his amendment. He warned the House
against the danger of giving the appropria
tion oommit see power to legislate upon ap
propriation bills and to side-track any other
legislation that might be called up. The
amendment was rejected.
FREE COINAGE DRAGGED IN.
The debate got away from the rules alto
gether, and in its course Mr. Do Forest of
Connecticut brought in the silver question.
He declared that if a free coinage bill were
passed by this oongresg, it would not go out
with the stamp of the indorsement of the
Democratic party upon it.
Mr. Dingley of Maine said that the gentle
man from Illinois (Mr. Springer), in a
speech delivered in New York, had declared
that this House would not pass a free sdveo
bill. He also understood that the gentle
man from Texas (Mr. Lanham) had with
drawn his amendment giving the committee
on ooinage, weights and measures leave to
report at any timo on the assurance of the
gentleman from Missouri (Mr. Bland) that it
was unnecessary. There seemed to be; some
misunderstanding somewhere, and’ ho
wished to call the attention of the gentle
man from Illinois to the matter.
SPRINGER’S DENIAL.
Mr. Springer—l did not make the state
ment that this House would not pass a free
coinage bill.
Mr. Dingley—l understood tho gentleman
to be so reported. Will the gentleman
please state what he did say?
Mr. Springer's reply was lnaudiblojto the
reporters, but he subsequently stated that
his reply was; “I stated that a free coin
age bill would not become a law during the
present congress.”
Mr. Hooker of Mississippi moved to strike
out from the rules the provision making it
always in order to call up for consideration
the report from the committee on rules and
preventing dilatory motions being rnado
pending such consideration.
This brought on a long and spirited de
bate.
Mr. Springer earnestly opposed the mo
tion.
A NEW ORATOR’S BOW.
Mr. Bailey of Texas, the youngest mem
ber of the House, and who came to Wash
ington with quite a reputation for oratory,
then took the floor, and he fully
justified that reputation. lie has
a commanding presence, handsome,
clear-out face, powerful voice and graceful
delivery. The greatest attention was paid
to Mb remarks, whioh were directed to an
advocacy of Mr. Hooker!s motion. He
opposed the rule as reported, because it was
an essential departure from the traditions
of tho Democratic party, a departure which
he was unwilling to "see become a law
of the House oxcept over his respect
ful protest. The American people were to-day
living under surveillance unknown to tho
constitution, because they were liviug un
der a system of committee government.
The proposed rule gave to the majority of
the triumvirate of the committee on rules
power to decide what affirmative action
should be taken by tho House. Such power
ought not to be delegated except iu case of
absolute aud pressing necessity.
POWER OF THE DEMOCRATS.
The democrats had a majority of two
thirds, and with that majority it could
safely and properly suspend all rules, should
necessity require it. If the democrats
adopted this rule they were
estopped hereafter from criticizing
the Fifty-first congress, and the
distinguished gentleman who presided
over its deliberations. [Applause on tho
republican side.] It embodied the very
essence of his (Reed’s) philosophy in the
transaction of puoho business. Tho Fifty
first congress proposed to stop filibustering
by empowering its presiding officer to de
cide what were aud what were not dilatory
motions. 'This congress proposed to
give tho same power to the two
men composing the majority of tho
committee on rules. If this proposition was
agreed to, the lloue would simply change
masters and not tasks. It became a high
aud bounded duty of the representatives to
provide with ail possible care against per
version and abuse of power, as between
the speaker and the committee ou rules it
was an open question to his mind whether
it was not better to confer the
power upon the speaker alone. The speaker
was the organ of the Houio and from his
high place he must deliver his opinion in
tho presence of his colleagues and before his
countrymen. The committee was subject
to no such limitations. It was one degree
further removed from tho people—the
source of power.
FRIENDS OF THE RULE.
Mr. Boatnercf Louisiana and Mr. Good
night <f Kentucky gave adheroucotot.be
rule, claiming that it was not iu pursuance
of tho rule of the last House, but was a
compromise between one-man filibustering
power so i one-man presiding power.
Mr. Fu.loe of Tennessee preferred that
the business of the House should be regu
lated by the committee on order of busi
ness; but if that could not be done he was
in favor of the proposed rule*. Tho rules
of the Fiftieth congress were do nothing
rules. There was something good In the
rules of the Fifty first c ogress. [Applause
and laughter.] There was a lot of bad in
them too, but he wanted to profit bv expe
rience and iucorporate what was good in
the rules of the Fifty-first congress in the
code that would govern tho Fifty-second
congress.
Mr. Washington of Tennessee argued
that under the proposed rule the House
would have complete control over its busi
ness, in that it could at any time direct the
committee on rules to report a rule setting
apart any particular measure for immediate
consideration.
Mr. Oates of Alabama offered an amend
ment providing for tha appointment of a
committee on order of business, to oonsist
of fifteen members (ten democrats and five
of the opposition), which shall have leave to
report at any time, and of which the speak
er shall be ex officio chairman.
Without reaching action the House ad
journed until to-morrow.
A democratic caucus was announced far
to-morrow evening.
ANTI-OPTION BILLS.
The National Board of Trade Opposed
to Tcelr Passage.
Washington, Jan. 29. — After discussing
for portions of two days the various anti
option propositions before congress the Na
tional Board of Trade to-day adopted the
following:
Resolved, That while this board recognizes
the evils resulting from excessive trading in
agricultural and other products of the country,
aod would heartily co-opera:e In any measures
calculated to restrict such trading within legiti
mate limits, which would not at the same time
seriously interfere with the necessary facilities
for handling the immense cereal and other
crops of the country at the least possible risk,
ond consequently at the smallest
practicable expense in the course
of their movement from producer to
consumer, it deprecates any legislation laying
a tax upon or interfering in any way with the
freedom of commercial transactions in such
products, whether for immediate or future de
livery. believing that any interference with the
established methods of busiuess men. which
ore the results of experience under natural laws
and necessities of trade, would be detrimental
to the public interest.
Resolved, That the board hereby reiterates its
expression of the sentiment enunciated at the
last annual meeting in r' "'on to the bill then
pending in congress on this subjer, known as the
“Butterworth bill,” to t., .■. .out tuat its adop
tion would cause irreparaule inju y to the busi
ness and agricultural interests of the country.
Verser Acquitted.
Washington, Jan. 29.—John J. Verser,
treasurer of the Old Dominion Republican
League, wets acquitted in the criminal court
of the District of Columbia of the charge of
having violated the oivil service law by so
liciting and receiving contributions for po
litical purposes.
MRS. KINGSBURY’S MONEY.
An Old House Running Over With
Wealth.
From the Neto York Sun.
Lyme, Conn., Jan. 24.—About a mile
due east from here on the Blackhall road
there stands a big, rambling house sur
rounded by many aerss of grounds over
looking the sound. Here for many years
lived Mrs. Jane Kingsbury. She died a
week ago yesterday, having been cut down
by grip at the age of 82. She was buried
from the house two days later.
She had lived rather a solitary life. She
was supposed to be moderately well off and
to be living upon an annuity left her by
her husband, the late Maj. Julius Kings
bury of the regular army.
Yesterday this quiet little village was
astonished by the auuounceinent that #60,-
000 in cash, and securities to the amount of
#30,000 more, had been found hidden in the
house which Mrs. Kingsbury occupied.
As far back as life-long residents can re
member Mrs. Kingsbury had spent more or
less of her time in Lyme. Her sister Adeline
married Capt. Champlin, one of the most
popular masters connected with the New
York and London line of sailing packets in
the good old days, aud came to Lyme to
live. Capt. Champlin died soon after. His
widow then married Thomas Cunning
ham, a wealthy retired New Yor* broker,
who also took up his residence here. Mrs.
Kingsbury visited her sister a great deal.
She is remembered as a very pretty little
girl, with a very gracious manner.
Upon one of these visits she met Maj.
Kingsoury of the regular army. lie wa -a
native of Waterbary. They fell in love aud
were married. That was in the early ’4os.
When they were married Mrs. Kingsbury
always accompanied her husband, fa 1849
he was sent to California. He got the gold
fever and did a little prospecting on his
owu hook. Before ho had had any luck at
this, however, he was ordered to proceed to
Chicago,
The Windy City was a howling wilder
ness then, but showing a disposition to
grow. Maj. Kingsbury bought a large
block of land very cheap, and almost before
he knew it he was a wealthy mau. He held
his possession, but not his post. Again he
was changed. This time the government
sent him to Florida to help subdue the Semi
noles.
From then until just before the outbreak
of the war of the rebellion Maj. Kingsbury
was kept on the move. His wife always ac
companied him. They had two children
born to them, a son and a daughter. The
former followed in the footsteps of his
father and entered the army.
He was colonel of the Eleventh Connecti
cut regiment, and was killed at the battle
of Antietam. The daughter married Gen.
Simon B. Buckner of Kentucky. Just be
fore the war began Gen. Kingsbury died.
He was a very wealthy man. He died In
testate.
This led to a series of lawsuits, which
were upon the court calendars for more
than a dozen years. No one up here seems
to know just what it was all about. The
lawsuits were not brought until after Col.
Henry Kingsbury, the son of the major,
was killed.
Upon the death of Maj. Kingsbury his
widow came to Lyme to live with her sis
ter, Mrs. Cunningham. She was popular
at first. She exchanged calls with all the
neighbors. In late years, however, she
rarely went out, except on Sunday, when
she was to be seen in her pew in the First
Congregational church.
About six years ago Mrs. Cunningham
died. Her husband died n few years before.
About this time it was noticed that Mrs.
Kingsbury was getting “close.” She dis
posed of the horses and carriages, She also
discharged all the help about the place ex
cept one woman servant. These two lived
all alone in the big, rambling house until
Mrs. Kingsbury’o death. But Mrs. Kings
bury did not take her companion into her
confidence bv any means. She was just as
ignorant of tile woman’s hidden wealth as
anybody else until it was discovered.
After the death of Mrs. Kingsbury's sis
ter she made a will. She sent for Judge
Griswold and told him she wanted her prop
erty equally divided between her grand
daughter, Mrs. Lily Belknap of Louisville,
a daughter of Gen. Buckner, and her grand
son, Henry W. rang? bury, a son of Col.
Henry Kingsbury. But sno named no sum
and none wus mentioned iu the will. The
executors ot the document were Judge Gris
wold and Louis Cunningham, a nephew of
her dead sister.
When Mrs. Kingsbury was taken with
the grip several weeks ago she sent word to
her granddaughter, Mrs. Belknap, that she
would like to see her. Bit before Mrs. Bel
knap could arrive Mrs. Kingsbury fell upon
a stove in her room and cut he- head badly.
She bled profusely, and sank almost in
stantly m a state of unconsciousness, in
which condition she remained for four Jays,
wiien she died. Mrs. Belknap, aocoiupauied
by her husband, who is a merchant in Louis
ville, arrived tne day after this accident
and Mrs. Kingsbury never knew that they
were at her bedside.
After the funeral service the body was
taken to Waterbury. The Belknaps then
returned to their home. On last Wednes
day Judge Griswold appeared before Pro
bate Judge Sweeney of Old Lyme and had
Mrs. Kingsbury’s will probated. Then he
and Louis Cunningham went to the old
homestead to prepare an inventory. The
house bad been locked up and not a soul
was in charge of It. They looked around
and then postponed their work for a few
days. On Saturday they went there again
to finish it uo.
They rummaged around in the drawers of
the bureaus for a second or so, and were
thunderstruck to uncover a pile of glitter
ing gold. It was piled up in nice piles on
the bottom of the drawers. In some in
stances it was all covered with dust.
They looked in olher places about the
house, and found it literally running over
with money. Before they left the house
they had found $60,000 in money. Of this
sum $14,000 was in gold pieces, ranging in
denomination from $lO to SSO.
They gathered it up in improvised bags
and trundled it to New London, where they
locked it up in the storage vaults of a bank.
The money was found hidden in the bottoms
of old leather trunks, bureau drawers, and
in the mattresses of the beds. Where or how
Mrs. Kingsbury was able to collect this large
amount her lawyers are unable to explain.
They say that they figure that she
had between SIOO,OOO and $125,000 in
money and securities in the house at the
time of her death, and not a soul in the
whole township ever suspected it. It is sur
mised that the money was the result of a
settlement of the lawsuit after the twelve
years of litigation, as it has mysteriously
disappeared from the court calendar. If
this is so, however, Mrs. Kingsbury’s law
years kn iw nothing about it. They have
finished their search of the house and are
satisfied that there is no m re money there.
Nevertheless there is a watchman on guard
at the house as an extra precaution.
Prejudice and ignorance have given way to
Simmons Liver Regulator. It has stood Ihe

Getting Even With the Judge.
There it a capital story being told of a de
servedly popular judge, says the London Tid-
IM>. He lives on the (treat Western line, and
a week ago entered a train at Padamgton.which
went right through to its destination without
stopping. This meant that the worthy judge
would fly through his own station, about twenty
miles down. He did not wake up to this fact
until tho familiar scenery uear his station told
him where he was, and the rate the train was
going how he was situated. Quick as lightning
he pulled one of the alarm bells, and the train
drew up at the station. The guard rushed to
the carriage.
“Who pulled the alarm?" cried the guard.
“I did," cried the judge.
“What for?"
“Because I wanted to get off.”
The guard thereupon ma le some remarks to
ths Judge more forcible and less respectful than
he was accustomed to hear. His lordship
thereupon complained to the stationmaster,
who told him that he would inquire into the
matter.
When next they met the judge asked the
stationmaster if he had reported the guard
for insolence.
“I spoke to him, rev lord, when he came
through on the slow traie," he replied.
“Well, what did he say?"
"Well, my lord, he said be would come up
some day and adjourn your court. ”
The judge appreciated the man’s witty way
of saying that he had the right to control bis
own train and did not pursue the matter further.
There’s Mammal
A prominent member of the Boston Camera
Club recently entertained his friends with an
exhibition of lantern pictures, representing the
best phases of French art in painting and
sculpture, says the San Francisco Argonaut.
Among the guests was a Mrs. G , a rare type
ot female loveliness, in- her decollete and
sleeveless costume, and her pretty little 6-year
old daughter. Elite, also deeply interested In
the exquisite pictures as they were thrown
upon the screen. Elfle was quietly sitting In
her beautiful mother's lap, uttering not a sound,
until Falcouner's "Cupid" gave way to Pradier’s
undraped female figure of “Vanity"—a lovely
daughter of Eve facing the spectator In the
attitude of arranging her heavy tresses.
In an Instant little Effle became alive and
wildly clasping her hands in delight, she loudly
exclaimed: “Oh, look, look! There’s mamma,
there s mamma!” Theeffoctupon the assembly
was electrical, as every one had met and ad
mired Mrs. G. before the light had been turned
down; but as it was too dark to s o what had
happened it is safe to assume that the enfant
terrible was affectionately hugged, rather than
spanked, by tho parent so unexpectedly com
plimented.
