Belt and J. V. Dan- Iols, appointed by Governor Nelson of Minne- sota as delegates to the National Irrigation convention at Denver next week. Mr. Belt Is the inventor of a current water motor, which the Minneapolis mechanical experts shrewd investors are inclined to think world beater,”” as Mr. Belt enthusiasti- cally expresses it. At least no practical o gfllanl have been found. Practical tests the best experts in Minneapolis gave wonderful results in the line of cheap power. The brass model of the wheel, which Mr. Belt has with him, will be exhibited to the public for the first time at the convention in_Denver tomorrow. Mr. Belt has some wonderfully strong let- ters of recommendation, both as to himself and the wheel, from Minneapolis men, and seems to think that there is not the slightest doubt that it will do all he claims for it. The main advantage which the wheel has over any other contrivance of the kind yet invented is that it utilizes the same volume, force and speed of watéer twice over with- out losing an ounce of the power. Certain Minneapolis capitalists are anxiously awaiting news of the impression whioh the Beit motor will make at Denver and the Minneapolis Journal has also shown enterprise in sending a reporter with Mr, Belt. s O L Movements of Seagoing Vessels Sept. 2, At New York—Arrived—La Bretagne, from Havre, iy brings news from Ham- w THE AMERICAN ENCYCLOPAEDIC DICTIONARY. 4 200 Pages. 260 ,CO0Words INSTRUCTIVE AND USEFUL. 4 Mine of Knowledge and @ Mint op Usefulness.

Btyles of the Agricultural De- partment at Linool INVESTIGATING CASES OF TRICHINOSIS Presence of the Disease Detocted ina Nom- ber of Instances—t Which the Docte Secures 1nfol Manner | LINCOLN, Sept. 2. —Dr. C mal ment ~(Special to The Bec.) W. Styles, from the bureau of ani- industry of the United States Depart- of Agriculture, arrived In the eity time yesterday, but his arrival was heralded by any signs calculated to at- t the attention of the publie. 1In fact did not design that ony one should know of his presence in the capital city except those with whom he has official business, and, approached this morning by a re- porter, a look of dismay passed over his features, When asked what was the cause of his belug in Lincoln, he replied that he had been sent out by Secretary Morton for the purpose of acquiring data concerning different matters in regard to his department He remarked that it was a pleasant day and that the rain last night was quite refresh- ing, but, after a little more questioning, he admitted that his mission was to determine to what extent the discase trichinos prevalent among the hogs of Towa an braska. Complaints ched Washington some last winter that the swine of these {wo states were thus afilicted and a of epldemics in the Hawkeye state reported, but, owing to the press of s at that time and the season of the year, it was thought advisable to let them wait until a better time. Dr. Styles and his sister compose the only force of this branch of the national government, and their atten- tion is at all times require The nature of the doctor's business does not enable him 1o have newspaper personals flaunted before the people, but the reverse seems (o please him better. Oftentimes he travels incognito the better to enable him to pursue his investigations with success and not to let the persons with whom he must necessarily meet know his identity, as this would hinder him to a considerable extent During his two months' travel he has met with some very curious experiences, at on time have a shotgun leveled at his head He spent part of his life in Liepsic, where he acquired the knowledge of the German language, and which he uses freely when pretending to an unsuspecting butcher that he is a native of the Kaiser's realm. Dr. Styles has several acquaintances among the faculty of the State university. Prof Fling was a class mate of his in Liepsic and Prof. Ward of the zoological department an intimate friend. Other gentlemen, more talkative than bland doctor, who accompanied him on his nocturnal rounds last evening were seen and tell a very interesting tale of how he came into the possession of six which he desired to dlagnose, Rod are always numerous about a meat shop and Jor this especial disease he is the most useful ani- mal, in a dead state, known, which will so readily exnibit signs If he has partaken of any meat of the hog afiiicted with trichin- osis. The doctor knowing that he would rouse suspicion If he openlysasked for the animals, procceded to the §tore on Lower P street, and represented himself as a traveling student making a speclalty.of ex- amining these animals, hoping to find a parasite that had been found but three times in_the rat over tha whole world. The obliging proprietor quickly secured him & half dozen of the much longed for animals, and accompanied by the meat, inspector and another companicn he procecded to his hotel, where the rodents were asphyxiated and thelr diaphrams examined under a powerful micros- cope. One of the gentlemen was heard to remark that three of the animals showed signs of the disease. A visit to the butcher's slaughter house was paid, which left a very noncomplimentary impression upon the visitor from Washington, Compared with other places visited by Dr. Styles, he sald Lincoln was not exceptional either in a good or_bad light. The genial doctor left this afternoon for “parts unknown,” at least he desired that his intentions be kept secret. HELD UP BY ROBBERS. som t when the Assistant Postmaster at University Place Has a Lively Experience, UNIVERSITY PLACE, Neb., Sept, 2.— (Special to The Bee)—Three armed robbers broke into the postofiice here early last night and held up the deputy postmaster. They secured §3 and a wateh and chain val- ued at $45. Nothing but pennies were found in the cash drawer and these were left behind. The money had been transferred to @ cash'box preparatory to being taken home, and this was not found. The office had been closed shortly after 8 o'clock and the assistant, Jesse Smith, locked up and went down the street. He returned about 9 o'clock to get his packages. Two men were sitting on the door step and as he entered a third, whom in the darkness he took for the postmaster, passed out. As he turned to see them more closely he looked into the barrels of three revolvers and was greeted with the order, “Hands up.” The stores all around were lighted and many people were on the streets, but no one was consclous of a robbery going on The return of Smith prevented a thorough looting of the office. They marched their vi tim to <he north part of the town and re- leased him in a cornfleld. News of the ce- currence did not leak out until today, the facts being kept quiet in the hope of finding a clew to the perpetrators. A fair descrip- tion of the men has been secured and offi- cers are on their trail.

Poor Sulll- van, the conductor of the train, has tempo- rarily lost his reason, and was taken back to Duluth. He rendered noble service in dis- embarking the passengers, throwing one little girl through the car window. He rouses at intervals to s; T throw . the little girl through the window did I do right? Does any one blame me?” and then relapses into merciful unconsciousness. There is litt probabllity of Hinckley ever being rebuilt to its former prosperous proportions. The Brennan Lumber company is not expected to rebuild its plant, and with- out an enterprise of this kind there is no future for Hinckley oxcept as a junction point, The total loss of life will never be definitely known. There were scattered through the woods settlor arings and lumber camps with thefr watchmen, and many people were undoubtedly burned whose bodfes were com- pletely destroyed and will never be found. IN WISCONSIN HEAV LOSSES Millions Already Destroyed and Milllons ore in Danger ASHLAND, Wis., Sept. 3.—As a result of the forest fires Saturday and Sunday $1,000,- 000 can be added to the amount of loss occa- sforied this season. It is doubtful if $1,000,- 000 will cover the entire loss, when the los: to standing timber and logs is estimated. * Washiburn had a narrow escape from total destruction and is still in danger. A spark from a forest fire south of town allghted in one of the piles of lumber on the dock and soon all a mass of flames. Bigelow & Co. have four docks. The flames leaped from one dock to the other with the rapidity of a race horse. Firemen immediately directed thelr attention to saving Bigelow & Co.'s matamoth mill.

Thero was perhaps 500,000 feet of lumber burned here. The total population of the place was be- tween forty and fifty. Over on the west side of the railroad track fortunately stood an old log house, in the center of a large potato patch. The women and children were all huddled in this solid old structure and the men remained outside to fight away the fire. The house was a literal ‘haven of Tefuge.” BEverything else weni, but the fire could not run through the green potato vines, and the solid hut resisted the waves of sparkling flame that rolled up against it.

Favulous Find by A ralian Prospectors at Coolgnrdie, The gold flelds at Coolgardie In West Australia, which were discovered only about five months ago, promise to rival hi: toric Ballarat in the richness of the finds The first discoverers were rewarded by many nuggets, and the result was a big rush to one of the most forlorn camps ever de- veloped In any country. The camp reached o by a two days' trip acros a desert that is absolutely destitute of water or of feed for animals. A special to the Melbourne Leader gives this account of a fabulously rich gold reef Jjust discovered at this camp, which has prob- ably led to another big rush of tors. If the reef continues to pan out as it has started, the mine will prove one of the richest ever known. Reports from Coolgardfe aro to the effect that a fabulously rich reef has been struck at the Londonderry mine, situated eleven miles south of Coolgardie. The accounts are very meager, but the stone s said to be 80 ch that one-tenth of it Is gold. The reet fs three feet wide and stands three feet out of the ground. Several people have visited the claim and state that it equals if not e ds Bayley's Reward In richness. The owners have been on nld in the claim for six weeks, and they state that they covered the reef over with a view to prevent their discovery being made known, and finally built a hut over it. During the progress of work on the lode a great boulder of gold was unearthed, which is now on_view at Coolgardie. The owners r fused £2,000 for their magnificent speci- mens. Later intellig on the ounces new pe nce concerning the rich find Londonderry claim swates that 4,000 of gold have been dollied out in five weeks, while specimens measuring a foot square have been obtained so heavy that one man cannot lift them. One splendid block of mine cublc inches in size was so rich that Mr. Elliott, one of the party, is said to have pald his metes £2,000 for their share in it. The gold and scveral specimens have been lodged at the Union bank. The claim is situated about eleven southwest of Coolgardie, and is great blow projecting from three to four feet from the surface. The lucky holders are Messrs. Carter, Dawson, Mills and Gardner of New South Wales, and Messrs. Elliott and Huxley of Vietoria. They first formed into a party at Coolgardie in Febru- ary this year, and, notwithstanding the almost hopeless outlook of the water aspect, resolved to make for the interior. Lake Lefroy was selccted as the most likely spot, but they were unfortunate and decided to return. Disheartened, poor in pocket, they pitched their camp on May 8 last about twelve miles southwest of Coolgardie. The country was highly auriferous, and, as is the custom with prospectors, after camp was pitched they went out to test the country. The say | was Mills made the discovery. He was about a mile or a mile and a half from the camp when he came across one of the many large blows characteristic of the country. He was astonished on rubbing his hand across a pro- truding plece of stone to see gold standing out prominently. Quicker than it takes to write he had knocked a large piece off the boulder, and at his feet lay a magnificent specimen stud- ded with coarse gold, and before his ey was a magnificent reef gold studded. Mill lost no time in taking several pieces from the reef. These he placed in his bosom, and, cargfully covering the reef with earth, found his mates and communicated to them the startling intelligenc Camp was haktily struck, and they removed to the locality of the discovery, and next morning a lease of wenty-five acres was pegged off, and the adjoining blocks at each end also were taken up during that week. In ‘he meantime they set to work to fur- ther (xamine the reef. They stored the precious metal in their tent, and commenced to systematically develop the property. One of the partners went into the town and bought a dolly, the largest he could procure, and then it was that the richness of the mine was made apparent. In one day's working on some of the~ marvelously rich stone (hey dollied 1,000 ounces, and in a short time had between 4,000 and 5000 ounces in the tent. On June 3 the partners decided to place this large queatity of gold in safer quarters They describe how they packed it up into several swags, and by a car!, In charge of two of the party, safely landed the treasure at the Unlon bank. The manager weighed the gold in their presence, and it turned the scales at 4,270 ounces. A few days after this the discovery became known to the public. The excitement at Coolgardie s intense, In a few days there will be about 2,000 per- sons at the locality of the Londonderry, and already all the ground on the line is’ taken ap for a long distance south. A later dispatch says: The gold in the Union bank from the Londonderry mine is said to be over 8,000 ounces, and a further parcel sald to con'ain 4,300 ounces was brought in yesterday and lodged in the bank. - NO CONFIDENCE IN BANKS. miles really a Wealth of an Old_ Miser Hidden Away in a Bag Hag. There has been no little excitement in the vicinity of Hackettstown, N. J., over the money discovered in the old home of Mrs Rebecea Martin, hirs. Marun bad a con- siderable income and her exenses W, small. As she never deposited the re- mainder of the money it was known by her daughter, Mrs. Morris LeBarre of Hackett town, that the money was concealed some where about the premises. Recently a search was made and up to the present time $1,700 has been found hidden in out-of-the- way places, in sums ranging from $10 to $470. 014 drawers were pried open, closets ran- sacked and beds cut open. The first ri ward of their labors was the finding of $170 in gold coin, which was hidden in a rag bag in the attic. The money was wrapped in pieces of coarss toweling. A search made on the following day resulted in the finding of $338 in bills and about $10 in silver. The money was not concealed in a large sum, but in small zmounts. The money was wrapped in pieces of cloth, toweling or old stockings, and then put In places most unlikely to be found in a hurried seorch. Some of it was found in the beds between the mattresses and the frames or in pillow: which had been ripped open and the money inserted and the pillow case resewn. Some of it was deposited in old teacups, which Were put on the upper shelf of the cup boards. At another time a snug sum was found in the toe of an old shoe, which was thrown in a corner of a pantry. Nine hundred dollars was found on another day. The eccentric old woman had mad of money, varying from $50 to $100, wrapped them in remnants of dresses and concealed them In the drawers of an old dressing case and in the boxes which were used instead of tiunks years ago. The house is now care- fully guarded. The estate s valued ar $100,000 and will go to the children of Mrs. LeBarre, rolls et s abling on Hix Life, Tile gambling instinct is strong In most men, but it is seldonr that one hears of a man with sufficient nerve to bet a sum of money on his own life. A wager of this kind has just leaked out, in which two prominent members of a Philadelphia club are concerned. These two men have been cloge triends for years, relates the Record. One 1s.a doctor and the other a law A year ago the lawyer, who %ad previousiy enjoyed the best of health, began to com- plain of feeling run down. He consulted his friend, the doctor, who, after a minute of thorough examination, told him frankly that his lungs were affected, the action of his heart was impaired, and that he wouldn't live year, The lawyer, who Is a man of indomitable pluck and will power, was nat- urally stunned for a moment. After the first shock had passed off his true nature asserted itseif. “I'll het you $1,000 you are wrong, and that I do lve over a year!' he exclaimed. The doctor was positive that his Qiagnosis was correct, and was forced 0 ac cept the bet. The money was placed in a safe deposit vault, and the lawyer went abroad. In six months he returned. The year was up last week, and he won his wager. And what is more, he says he is open for more bets of a similar nature, MAN FOR THE EMERGENCY Choate Regarded the Coming Man for Got ernor of New York.

Comparatively few men of prominence are mentfoned on the side for the office of governor Flower, the present incumbent to renomina- tion, but his edministration has not been sufficiently popular to make him an ideal oandidate, In fact, his nomination would, in the opinion of unblased observers, ously handicap the party. The return of Mr. Willlam Whitney from abroad at this time is considered significant, and his nam is frequently mentioned as demscracy’s com- ing man Beyond these two no others ol more than loc:l reputation are heard of. On the republican side there is a plethora of men regard as available for the head of the ticket, and this fact Is evidence of the widespread belief in republican success ‘his a1, The most prominent on the list are ex-Viea President Morton, Hon. Joseph H Choate, president of the constitutional con- vention, and Hon, Sloat Fassett, who was defeated by Governor Flower thre years ago. The chief objection to the first amed is his age, being now 71. But age is not_a serious obstacle in one 5o thgroughly versed in public affairs as Mr. Morton. He a veteran campalgner, possesses an ample fortune, and in addition has the support of the Platt element, which is regarded as es sential to sucees Mr. Morton veturned from BEurope last Mond:y and was greeted by a host of republican politicians, who sup- plemented thefr welcome with urgent ap. peals to make the race for the n mination Prior to his return attempts to draw him out were futile, but he has just glven an aflirmative answer to the all-important ques tion.

His reputation purely local, ents mediocre and his politic:l record ed by defeat in the race for gov- ernor three years ago. A POPULAR MAN Mr. Choate is not a candidate in the sensc t having given consent to the use of his name, He is not an officesceker and never was, and if the honor comes to him it will be ‘unsought. As president of the con stitutional convention now In session in Albany his talents, hitherto confined to the bar and (o occasional public assemblages have become familar to all new readers in the state, and his aggressive fearlessness and superior mental force are admired and appliuded everywhere. With- out any effort on his part the movement in his favor has assumed proportions sufefent to alarm other aspirants. — And it is grow- ing with such rapidity that it is doubtful it the michine factfon can check the tide in favor of Choate. The Platt men see thelr only hope In Morton. Without him vllnl» nomination of Choate now seems Inevit- able. Mr. Cheate fs the ideal of the young men and the Knickerbocker elements. He is not a politician in any sense. Indeed, he is cordially despised by the professional poli- ticlan, and there is good reason for it. Whether at the bar or on the rostrum Mr. Choate rarely forgoes an opportunity o ¢ pose and denounce traffickers in public places, and no little part of his reputation as a keen examiner and incisive speaker was earned in the prosecution of political crooks. He has never held public office and is averse {o public life, chiefly because he abho:s the methods by which success in that line is procured. 1In consequence of this aversion he has never set his s:ils to catch popular bree and the sole objec- tion urged against him by his opponents is that his scathing ‘denunciation of poli ticlans would imperil party succe PRC SIONAL HONORS CONT “I suppose my friends know T do not want public office,”” he onee remarked, “and that is why they never nominated me.” He has been content with the honors that have come from his remarkable professional su cexs, his occaslonal appearance at important public dinners, in exciting campaigns, and in critical stages of state and municipal affairs. This is the natural trend of his life, not because he fs lacking In public spirit, uot because he is Indifferent to the cause of good government, but simply because he is absorbed in his professional labors. Mr, Choate is 62 years of age. He was born in Massachusetts. The family was one of the oldest in New England. The ecarliest ancestor, John Choat®, became a citizen of Mussachusetts in 1607. The grandson of thix first ancestor, also named John, was a member of the ‘Massachusetts legislature from 1741 till 1761, and for the five years following a member of the governor's coun cil. The family was noted throughout for its streugth of character and mental vigor. David, o son of the Massachusetts legisla- tor, and the father of Rufus, w not trained in law. but on one oceasion when le had a suit pending in court and his counsel hapyened to be absent, he took up the case himself, examined his witnesses, tore to shireds the testimony of the other side, made a sound and cloquent argument and won the se.

They say nothing as whether he was precocious like his fa- Rufus, who when a sn repeat the “Pilgrim’s Progress his intellectual powers were of ) growth, Rufus Choate was a wnus of Dartmouth, but Joseph went to Harvard, and was graduated in t class of 52, In 1855 he Massachusetts, he came to D there ever since HE BEGAN IN THE GOLDEN AGE. The period in which Mr. Choate began his career here is commonly referred to as the golden age of the metropolitan bar. James T. Brady was a consplcuous figure in the popular eye. Charles O'Conor had already a deep and lasting impression. Mr Ivarts was in the front rank of polities as well as of law. Mr. Hoffman was equally prominent on the democratic side, and Mr, Stanford’s brilllancy and marvelous powers in cross-examination had given him an en viable reputation. The legal heavens wer studded with stars of such luster that the modest young siranger from the Old Bay state might well have felt some conc:rn about his own fvture. But from all account he did not display any anxiety. He put ont his shingle and began to look for clicnts They came fn due time. An opportunity was given him to display his qualities as an ad- vieate, He was closely watehed by the vet ctang who knaw his kinsmen. When he hal finished his first important speech they agreed that he was worthy to bear the fam- ily name, Mr. Evarts was particularly at tiacted 1o him. A partnership was formed It continues to this day. It was more than a professional assaclation; they were unit)d by the bonds of friendship that have never peen severed. In every way possible Mr. Evarts opened the path of advancement so- clally and politically, as well as profession- ally, for his young assoclate. Success and fame came quickly, and Mr. Choate has never failed to show the most grateful ap- preciation of what Mr. Evarts did for him, AN ENVIABLE RECORD. A history of Mr. Choate's professional eca- reer would require a sketeh of a majority of | the great cases that have beeh tried bere wince the war.

Notwithstanding the press of his legal en- gagemonts, Joseph H. Choate has found much tima in which to enjoy himself and also to contribute of his eloquence to the promotion of the good (nterests of soclety and the state. His presidency of the New England soclety, of the Union League club and of the consti= tutional convention are examples of this feas ture of his lfe. He s not, however, ine clined to do those things which are not di= rectly In line with his personal taste. The martyr spirit may be strong within him, but ha has given no great evidences of it. When urged to serve his party and his state by pting the nomination for judge of the court of appeals he declined. It was not to his liking. He would rather remaln In the legal cockpit at from $100,000 to $200,000 a year, and consequently he declined the houor with graceful thanks. Very naturally his scholarly tastes have sought_expression In the medium of litera ture. The result is worthy of the man, and his “History of the Pilgrims" Is a strong nd fine contribution to an lettors. Whether in the field of ancient classios or modern fiction he is thoroughly at home. - 1T AIGH TIDE | case; | binr's FLOATED caten Gots Out of Her Position Without ASTORIA, Ore., Sept. 2.—The British bark Glencairn is safely in port and apparently none the worse for the bumping shoe recefved on the sands off Point Adams light. When the tug Wallowa reached her had got oft the and was anchored in thirty fathoms of water. The flood tide floated her just before the tug came up and the wind shifted to the southeast. The bark’s topsalls were hoisted and she salled out of the akers. Only five men were aboard at the time, the captain, second mate, the ship's carponter, a sailmaker and one sailor. The rest of the crew, excepting those who came ashore early in the evening with the first mate, had been brought ashore by the Point Adams life saving crew As soon as tho Wallowa came near enough a pllot was put on board, and at daybreak the tug took the vessel inside. 1t is considered most remarks able by old and experienced pilots that the Glencairn got off at all. nt Adams light- hous is about thirty miles south gf the Columbia bar channel and at the very point where the Glencairn was stranded the City of Dublin was wrecked some years ago and two miles north cof there the s of the old Calrusmere lle buried in the sands.
