Sop>g time, when these troublous times and Wal l street has a chance to JMMttefor a bit of gossip again, a great Stoty will be told about that Tuesday--a story that will astound everybody ex­ cept* few of the country's greatest spec­ ulators, and a story that will make many^ people in this and other cities torn pale] and catch their breaths. They will show then how frightfully •Arrow the escape from a financial catastrophe of crushing magnitude. They will know that the fate of the street, and with it the fate of scores of tributaries to the street, legitimate and. Otherwise, of bankers, merchants and? manufacturers, too numerous to stop to oonnt, hung in the balance, and that a finger's touch from any one of three men Would have turned the scale ruin- ward. And when they learn this they will probably come as near to really thanking God as their religion or lack of religion will let them, because instead of the one man's finger touch weighting the scale down \frith disaster there was a sturdy shoulder push from all three of! that day's destinies of the street to force s It up into safety.--New York Preaft, A Murderer Pensioner. i* • Ambassador Bayard has been in­ structed to make inquiries in regard to whether Captain W. C. Minor is still alive, or whether the government is pay­ ing a salary to a dead officer. Captain Minor is a retired officer of the medical corps, his retirement being due to brain trouble consequent upon a sunstroke re­ ceived in the line of duty in Florida in 1870, and he was sentenced for life in an English asylum for shooting a man on English soil 21 years ago. It is the only case on record of a murderer borne on the rolls of the army and drawing the regular pay of his grade. Eis pay is drawn by Richard E. Rice of New Ha­ ven, the appointed conservator, who files quarterly certificates bearing the sig­ nature of the superintendent of the Broadmere Criminal Lunatic asylum to the effect that Captain Minor ii living. The last report from the superintendent read: "Hewds confined in the asylum April 17, 1872. His offimse consisted of lk . shooting with a revolver and killing a Jman in the Belvidere road, Lambeth." ,! >,t The relatives of Captain Minor have re­ peatedly made strenuous efforts through the state department to secure his re- Albany Express. •Y* • A Stat« Soda FoantalM. It may sound like a Munchausen yarn, hut it is an actual fact that in the squint eyed little burg of Sodaville, in T/mn county, in block 8 of the town plat, there is a soda spring, and that the last legislature, in its infinite wisdom, pro­ vided that "inasmuch as there is a great and growing demand on the part of the public for the waters of said spring," the state would spend $500 to improve it. This is at last the fond realization of the long felt want which has been loafing around the country like the ghost of boyhood's happy days in quest of a watermelon patch where haply lingered no vicious dog. It is a grand and im­ posing sight to see the legislative fancy rising from the sordid contemplation of a cold and unresponsive hog law and hovering on halcyon wings oyer the soft murmur of an idyllic state soda foun­ tain.--Astoria (Or.)
