THE COMMERCIAL TRAWLER. A Nebraska Man's Scheme Being Developed by the Southern Association , GOOD HOTELS THE PRIME OBJECT , J y llo\v n Chicago Inmirnnuo Ajinnt 3lado u Fortune Out of Unllnmil V Aoclitcnt'j A Iliinqiict for the Drummers , ' A Nebraska commercial tourist recently suggested the plan of having his fellow trav elers agree to patronize ono hotel In each town of the state. The theory was that such nn arrangement would result In the road ngoiilt K < 'tling better accommodations and probably n reduced rate at the liostclrlos des ignated. The plan was not very ctithushutlcally re ceived by the Nebraska drummers , but their southern brothers have taken tbo suggestion nnil enlarged upon It , rind nro now onthusl- iiatlcnlly pushing the scheme , which has re- reived the endorsement of the Southern Truv < tiers' association. 1 Mr. Charles I Brannn of Atlanta , Is chnir- in.ui ol the general hotel committee , and la lit tbi ) head of the movement. Ills Idea is to form 1111 association something llko a building nnd loan association , and to operate as fol 10\V.s ; Wherp o town ought to hnvo a good hotel nnil yet has none , let a local committee bo fornu'd that will put In , say , a third or n hnlf of the necessary capital , and let the associa tion pay or place bonds lor tno test of the money. It is a big undertaking , but the Southern Travelers' association la a very powerful organization , and can accomplish wonders. It h undertaking a few practical and iiccoisury things. It Is looking out for the riclitxand Interests of tbo traveling men , nnd will benefit not only its own members but tlic nubile generally , A great ninny of the hot els where tbo drtitmnrrs stop have got to bolmpioved , thcro Is no doubt ubout that. The IdtM Is for some leading man Iii every town to "net a move on him,1' to organize at once and Imild u hotel. It makes no dilTcivnco liow small the town Is , for you can look buck to salmi of tholurgo and booming cities nnd see the Hist thing they did was to Imild a largo hotel , and then build up to the hotel. It 1'nyn to ( Jot Hurt. A number of traveling men wcro chatting In front of one of the hotels the other evening when the subject of the expense of accidents to the companies came up. Speaking nbout nn accident that recently occurred in Iowa , one of Ihu gentlemen said : "Tho published reports of this calamity were correct and con veyed nn Idea of the nwfulness of the situa tion But they failed to imiko mention of a little opiindo , the comical part ofvhlch it would bcdinicult to do Jnttico to by simply tell hit : oT It. A special train bad taken a number of olllclnls and physicians to the scciiooftlio accident. Ono of tbo former , whom I will call 3NIr. Smith , after ho had ar- rivi'd , walked up and down between the rows of Injuied passengers who bad been laid down and were now being ex amined by the physicians. The face of every ono of them was eagerly scanned by Mr. Smith.Vhen no bad seen thorn all , he suddenly shouted ! ' .Mr. Sullivan I Mr. Sulllvutii Is Mr. Sullivan here)1 ) A second passed In silence , when a dnrlt object emerged from behind n trco and planted it self right hi frontof Mr. Smith. The bitter looked nt htm for a moment nnd then ex claimed : 'Ah , there YOU nre , Ir. Sullivan , and thank God , uninjured. ' Mr. Sullivan now HPOKO : 'Yes , sir , it Is f. Got off pretty easy this time. There OH my forehead a little tlo scratch worth peihiips § ' . > ( ) ( ) . ' " 'Two hundred dollars < What } Have yon ' not yet got enough ) ' replied Smith. I'honho called DUO of the physicians and requested him to carefully examine Sullivan , nnd the verdict1 was tlmt nothing had happened to Mr. SullU'uu. 'Hut how about tlio injury hero on my nrmS' remarked Sulli van. 'If you mention another word nljout that mm injury , ' Smith broke la furiously. "I'll have yon arrested Tor attempted swindling and obtaining inonoy under fulso pretenses that's all It Is. Our records show that yon received thut injury seven years ago near Columbus. Oyou had better keep nuiet , my dear Mr. Sullivan , ' and Air. siimvnn uui Keep quiet. "Sullivan had been n broker In Chicago until about 1S70 when he failed. Ho became a successful Insurance agent nnd traveled ex tensively , fa 1BS7 ho was a passenger on a derailed train and broico a log. That leg cost the company 810,000. From then ho was more than successful In his now career , and became Uio terror of all the railroad com panies In ttio country. Ho lived from money that he mndo out of railroad accidents. Ho always employed good lawyers , and suc ceeded In winning his cases. Today ho Is worth at lenst SIM.OOO. Will Ranqiict tbo Itoys , The business men of Carroll , la. , hnvo ar ranged to banquet the traveling men who visit that city , on Saturday next , at Burk's hotel. A hngo number of Omaha grip carri ers who travel through western Iowa will participate In the banquet and the festivities Incident thereto. There Was > 'o .Tolco In It , Prederlclc B. Perry , a traveling man of Philadelphia , had some minutes of worry hist week that would not permit any jocose remarks concerning the cause of his anxiety. Ilo was stopping at the Dcnlson , Cincinnati , and coming from his room about S o'clock in the morning with a bundle of soiled clothes , x-eqnestod to hnvo thutn sent to a laundry. About an hour afterward Uomeo L. Dal'uy entcivil the hotel and walking up to the olcrlc'a counter laid down $05 in greenbacks and a $1,000 draft. "What's that for ! " ashed the clerk. "It belongs to one of your guests and wo found Iho money and dm ft m the pocket of a It.inni'l shirt sent over to our place iu Mr. 1'erry'B ' bundle. " The clerk took the money , recohited for It nnil put it In the snfo waiting the owner's older. When two hours more had gene by Vorry suddenly became frauticattho thought of having sent $1,005 to a laundry. Ho went hurriedly to the clerk of the hotel and excit edly nikei ! If ho hnd hoard anything , seen anything , or knew anything concerning his inouoy. The money and draft wcro turned over to him with a Jocular remark ahaut width being ground up in a wash-tub , wuTch the traveling man at oneo reseated , saying the mutter was too serious for uny slighting reference.

Notwithstanding the porngraphlsts , the drummer Is rarely n humorous character says the Fort Wnyiio Gazette. Hols opt to ho a good fellow , liberal in his views , with a taste for gooil ttorics and a bottomless wel for good iiatnro In his heart Contact with the llluty and uneven surfaces of llfo has pol ( shed oft his points and saml papered his edges , unit so ho laughs because It is cosier than to cry , and never Jokes more gayly thai when ho is in deadliest fanio.it. Ilo Is u hard working philosopher , and the llfo of trade n < well as the smoking cur. Moreover , it Is his business to know the world , and the drummer Is apt to ho a profound social philosopher.

Clothier and Furnisher : Tlio raincoat Is tin nil-year-round garment , although tbo .styles of spring and fall are followed by the makers now as nro the finest tailor-mailo clotbcs. The cloth , designs nro so successfully worked out in the waterproof fabric that it Is inilced ilifll- eulttotcll the diit'orenco. There Is no more refreshing thought to the woll- dretAcd man nowadays than the contem plation that ho can o about in the rain looking tidy and unsoakcil. Do not bo misled the by pseudo-pro- nostications to the oll'oct that amethyst , gurnet , emerald , sapphire nnd topa/ ticarf-pins are going to bo the fashion. In the lir.st place the general plan of the patterns In neckwear would not harmonize - izo with the innovation , nnd in the second end place these jewels of the { jowtrmv typo would never bo tolerated save by persons of sporty tendencies. ' .The gold Bcarlpins in ball shapes , knots and other qutot designs will con tinue to prevail , while the black or white pearl will will bo the dominant jewel among the men of Ewnggerdom. The BCiirfpin is sometimes &o striking as to need a dull metal to tone it to an annro- priato gentility. Ono of the recent novelties is the Ascot bow. It is a showy typo of made-up but terfly , well constructed and correctly named. The bow la inrgo enough to have been formed of the regulation Ascot searling. i 'The Windsor scarfs worn with rings of a largo variety of materials have coino in again with a rush , and HO far as popu larity is concerned nro second to no other style of neckwear current. The latest nrtlolcs of n fancy season are usually the loudest. In outing goods the newest designs shown in tennis coats , sashes , anil even shirts are in pnrti-col- orcd stripes fully two inches in width. An outing coat in avido \ strlpo combi nation of red and slate is a very fetching garment. In neelcwenr for the coming season there will bo a prcdomimnco of designs in a quiet tono. Speaking in a general way , it will bo indeed dillicult to err in selection , in such a subdued key of rich ness hnvo slllcs been woven. The now London shade is called by the bomowhiit forbidding nnmo of Mi- nsmii. It ib avery beautiful color in a sort of blue gray , and wtis suggested by the rising vapors over the marshy spots along the Thames embankment. The grays and blues and the various intermediate colors will bo the cspoclal novelties put forward.

A telegram from China says that a de cree from ono of the viceroys imposing a tax upon opium has been abandoned bo- cnuso of the protests ot Great Urittiln , BUYS tlio Now "York Herald. Thellritlsh government holds umonop- ely of the opium crop in India. Under tlils opium is Bold to middlemen at a profit of 000 per cont. It is then taken to China , but tlio Chinese are permitted to impose only a nominal tax. England holds It us a British interest in India , ami insists that It Bliull bo KO received In China. Tlio revenue from this monopoly varies from 15,000,000 to $51,000,000 a year , anil without It Englmiu could not govern India. Of court-o the opium Imhlt Is rulnging China. But India must ho governed. And while England names her own tax upon opium an a monopoly China is bound to buy it and impose only the rev enue which Enlundp approves. S.

The tnlo of adventure hero ret down \vii9 written expressly for the San Fran cisco Examiner by Harry Morse , the : no3t famous of western sheriffs and de tectives , nnil Is a striking illustration of California life only n decnclo since : Ono of tlio most thrilling adventures I vcr experienced was tin encounter with n Cliilcno muuloror named Koratto Pence while I was bhcrllT of Alamcda county in 1867. At that time the county was thickly settled with desperate char acters who had for years terrorized the locality where they hold forth hy their criminal nets. They stole horses and anything else they could Inylmmls on , and vero not averse * to taking human life when the opportunity ofTered. It took years of work to rid the county of the desperadoes , who were mostly Mex icans and Chlleno : ! , and occasionally a white scoundrel , hut I finally succeeded. Among the wretches who caused mo the inoit anxiety was Noralto Ponco. This follow was one of the most fiendish cut-throats that over drew the breath of life. Ho would btoal a band of horses or cut a throat as calmly as ho would eat his breakfast , and ho was also cunning' enough to arrange matters bo that the olllcors of the law found it impossible to secure evidence that would send him to the gallows. Like all men of his cali ber , however , ho ilnully overreached himself. THE KILUNO OF JOY. On September 3 , 1807 , Pence mur dered a man named Joy , in a saloon , at Tiny wards. After committing the crime Pence escaped into the Black Hills , the mountainous country back of .Livormoro , and at one time it looked as though ho was going to plip through our lingers. On a certain IViday in November of that year , however , accompanied by Olllcor John Conn-ay of Oakland , I sot out for Alisnl , in Murray township. There wo loft our bug y and proceeded on horsbaok to the vicinity in which the Chileno was Hiippo cd to bo ia hiding. A Mexican had informed mo that I'on'co wanted to engage his services to guide him out of thecountry , and that ho ( the Mexican ) was willing to deliver the bandit into my custody. The plan wo agreed upon was that my informant should lead Pence down a by-road pas ting by the Liivermofo House and enter the inuin'road by a certain ( jato , on the other side of wh'ich myself and Conway would bo ready to receive them. They were to arrive lit the spot Into on a Fri day night , and as the ni < rhta at that sea- bon were very dark , I told my Mexican to wear a white eoat that would bo dis tinguished in the blackness , so there would be no danger of him receiving a bullet intended for the Chilono. A I'LAX MISCAUUIES. At the appointed hour Conway and I repaired to the snot. A few yards from the gate through which the two men were to pass , forming an avenue through which Pence must ride , were stacked two largo piles of hay. Conway con cealed himself in the liny at the end toward which wo reckoned the Chileiio would lirst appear , and I se creted myself at the other cud. " \Vn milmilntpfl tlmt' thn men \vnnlil pass Conway , who would then stop into the road and cover their rotrcat , nnd while the hay would cut oil escape on both sides , I would block their pabsago forward. It was several hours after wo took our positions when they put in an appearance , and , to my chngrin , they were coining from a direction opposite the ono by which wo expected them. I alone saw them coming , nnd realized that us Conway was looking for them to arrive the other way ho would bo taken by surprise ) and Ponce would probably not bo caught in the trap wo sot. I was lying flat on the ground , nnd the Mex ican's ' white coat was all I could see in the Inky darkness. I concluded to play a lone hund , BO I rolled over and over on the ground until I had placed myself di rectly in the path of the riders. TUB DUEL IN Tins NIUIIT. \Yhcnthoygotwithln close shooting distance I , fatlll lying on the ground , cried : "Halt. " / Instantly the white ( Joat began to fade awaV. The Mexican was riding out of ballot range. No sooner had I announced myself than I saw bomuthing glisten like steel , and I realized that the Chileno's six-shooter was la hlti hand ready for business. I saw it moving away , and knowing that Pence was escnuing , I let drive a load of buckbhot in the direction. There was a yoll. the iiliiniiig weapon in his hand do- eonued and I heard the thud as the ban dit btruek the ground. Thinking I had killed him I was about to rise nnd spring forward when there was a Hash followed by a report nnd a bullet whibtled past mo. Evidently there was life in him yot. I blaued tnvay at the place where I had seen his pistol Hash , but mibsed him. Another bullet from his pistol How by mo. This duel in the dark , each man aiming at the Hush of the other's weapon , was continued until the Chll- ono'b ammunition was exhausted. TIIK CIUhENO'S USC.U'i : . "When his fire censcu I ran towards him. There stood Ills horne , but Ponce had disappeared. Conway having joined : mo by this time wo commenced a search. :1o Near"by was a haystack , In which wo thought ho might bo concealed , BO wo fired it and had plenty of light , but it failed to reveal the bandit.Vhen day light came wo found in the ground , soft ened by the recent rains , the trail left by his high-heeled boots. . I bccured the ser vices of eight or ton Mexicans and wo searched up towards the hills. All wo found was Ponce's coat com pletely riddled with buclwhot and sat urated with blood , showing that the load I Ilrcd must have taken ofTect. Haifa mile from where the coat was found wo picked up his boots and the trail ended , as his stocking feet loft no murks. Wo did not bee how it was pos sible for Pence to llvo with the wounds that ho must have received , so wobcarohed for his dead body n long tlmowithout success. Afterwards I learned thai while wo were standing on the bank of a creek the murderer was concealed in the bushes about twenty feet from my party. Thinking discovery was certain ho tried to draw a bead on mo , but his arm was so badly mangled that ho could not raise his pistol. ox Tin ; TKACic AUAIS. In the meantime Governor Low had set a price of $500 on the head of the out law , which had the effect of arousing the energy of the olllcers and exciting the cupidity of Mexican desperadoes , many of whom would havobont their parents to the gallowb for less than half of that sum. During the lln > t week In December , 1807,1 received a letter from Shcriil Classen of Contra Costa county to the effect that if I would go to Martinez ho would glvo mo in formation concerning the whereabout of Ponco. From whlit Classen told mo I deemed it necessary to proceed ta An- lloch and ere s from thcro to Collins- ylllc , where it was thought the mur derer was concealed. Accompanied by Doiiulv SherllT S\vain \ of Contra Costa aud Oillcer Conway of Oakland , I went to Antioch , where it was nscortnlneil .that Pence was not at Collinsvllle , but was concealed in lUggs' canyon near Mount Diablo. Vfo returned to San Lenndro aud from there wont on saddle horses to life BlncK Hills , back of Livermore - more valley. Wo nrrlvod in the canyon nt about 11 o'clock-o Thursday night. Upen reaching the house where Pence was supposed to bo concealed wo sur rounded it and waited for daylight to ar rive. At dawn wo reached the house but found no trace of the murderer. While Bounding the hills wo camoupoa an old Spaniard , who , under pressure divulged the fact that Pence was some where in Pinole. Starting on the Sun day morning following from Martinez , wo wont toward Pinole , searching all the houses on the road. DEATH FINDS HIM. As wo arrived In front of the honso of ono Jose Kyjos wo saw a man climbing the mountain side with a bundle under his arm and the inevitable shotgun thrown over his shoulder. Thinking that it might bo our man I told Swain nnd Conway to guard the house , allow ing no person to leave from Itwhile I wont after the man on the hillside. As I was tolling up the hill Swain entered the house while Conwa5' waited outside. As the deputy sherifl opened the door a board in the lloor was thrown up and Pence leaped forth , pistol in hand. Swain jumped back out of the house and cried , "John , bo's here , " ju"t as the bandit rushcdout and made tracks for the creek , to do which ho had to come in my direction. Ho did not sco mo , however , and as the bullets llittcd by Swain and Conway were making things interesting for him , Pence made won- derfui timo. Between myself and the outlaw was a ravine , bo I dismounted and clambered down to the sldo of the creek opposite him. Then ho saw me , and txirning plunged into the thick growth of willows. Wo could see the willows move ns ho made his way along , and Conway and Swain from their side and I from my bide poured lead into the dense bushes. Pence was cornered , and realizing it ho determined if possi ble to take mo with him into the other world. So ho stepped boldly forth from the bushes where I would got a good shot at him and where ho at the same time had mo for a target. The Chileno's right hand had boon shot through , bo ho was compelled to shoot with his loft. Ho had his six-shooter resting on his right wrist and I hud my weapon at my side. As ho raised his right arm , with the weapon rcbting on it , I brought iny Henry carbine to a horizontal. 1 know it was a question of who got the drop on the other first , so , taking a quick aim , I ilrcd. The hands of the bandit dropped to his side and he staggered , but did not fall. lie stood there like a. statue for a brief moment , and then tried to rnlso his pistol again. The eiVort was a failure. Ponco.'s knees guvq way under him and ho dropped in a heap en the ground , dead. My bullet had penetrated his nb- domon.

They concluded with the wvorost test of nil , a sham contest with the cruiser Colon , ono of the largest , newest mid Mvittest vessels of the Spanish navy , sulil to bo a fair sninplo of the average war bhipaof the present time. The first trial of this sort was in the daytime In tlio open sea oil Cadiz , with weather so rough that most of those who wont out in olhor boats to witness the tests were tnndo Peu.-iek. The Peral practically failed in this test , those aboard the Colon being siblo to locate the submarine vessel at a considerable dlstunco and to keep out of the way , the speodof the Colon much exceeding that o ( the Porul. The pamo night tlio test was tcpcated , and with exactly different results. Although the Colon xi < cd pow erful olcctrio search lights anil alt the modern eontilvaiices for detecting the approach of topoivdo boats , the 1'ernl , with only her small observation tower above water , passed all nround the Colon un detected , approaching within 100 feet of the big vessel without being discovered. The little submarine boat could have blown the cruiser out of the water c it doxcii times without trouble or danger to itself had tlio contest been tircnlouc. The Ecurch llcht was found to bo entirely useless In picking out so small an object amid the wn.vcs. On the strength of this trial tlio com mittee conducting the tests has notified Lieutenant Peral that itwill repot t fa vorably to thoncceptaneo of his vcsbol. The lieutenant is preparing a report of his own , in which ho sets out the deli- clences whichusehns developed in his boat , with u view to having them cor rected in other vessels of the bauio typo which ho hopes will bo built. This is baid to bo the lirst time that ft submarine vessel has undergone tin ac tual test In the open sea under conditions approaching1 those of actual war.
