LINCOLN , Sept. 2. ( Special to The Ilee. )
Dr. C. W , Styles , from the bureau ot ani
mal Industry ot the United Slates Depart
ment of Agriculture , arrived In the city
some lime yesterday , but his arrival was
not heralded by any signs calculated to at
tract the attention of the public. In fact , ho
did not design thai ony ono should know ot
his presence In the capital city except , those
with whom ho has ofllcial business , and ,
when approached this morning by a re
porter , a look ot dismay passed over his
features. When asked what was the causa
of his being In Lincoln , he replied that ho
had been sent out by Secretary Morton for
the purpose of acquiring data concerning
different matters In regard to his department.
Ho remarked that It was a pleasant day and
that the rain last night was quite refresh
ing , but , after a little moro questioning , he
admitted that hh mission was to determine
to what extent the disease trichinosis wns
prevalent among the hogs of Iowa nnd Ne
braska , Complaints reached Washington
same time last u Inter that the swine of
these two states were thus a filleted and a
couple of epidemics In the Ilawkeye state
were reported , but , owing to the press of
business at that time nnd the season of the
year. It was thought advisable to let them
wait until a better time. Dr. Styles and his
slslcr compose Hie only force of this branch
of the national government , and their atten
tion Is at all times required.
The nature of the doctor's business does
not enable him to have newspaper personals
flaunted before the people , but the reverse
seems to please him better. Oftentimes he
travels Incognito the better to enable him
to pursue his Investigations with success and
not lo let the persons with whom he must
necessarily meet know his Identity , as this
would hinder him to a considerable extent ,
During hla two months' travel ho has met
with some very curious experiences , at one
time have a shotgun leveled at his head.
Ho spent part ot his life In Llepslc , 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 nmong
the faculty of the State university. Prof.
Fling was a class mate Of his In Llepslc and
Prof. U'ard of the zoological department an
intimate friend.
Other gentlemen , more talkative than the
bland doctor , who accompanied him on his
nocturnal rounds last evening were seen and
tell a very Interesting tale of how ho came
into the possession of six rats which he
desired to diagnose , Rodents ara always
numerous about a meat shop and ior thla
especial disease he Is the most useful ani
mal. In a dead state , known , which will BO
readily exhibit signs It he has partaken of
any meat of the hog nflllcted with trichin
osis. The doctor knowing that hs would
rouse suspicion If he openly/asked for the
animals , proceeded to the store on Lswer
P street , and represented himself as a
traveling student making a specialty.of ex
amining .these animals , hoping to find a
parasite that had been found but three times
In the rat over tins whole world. The
obliging proprietor quickly secured him a
half dozen of the much longed tor animals ,
and accompanied by the meat , Inspector nnd
another companion he proceeded to his betel ,
where the rodents were asphyxiated and their
dtaphrams examined under a powerful micros
cope. One ot 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
noncompllmeutary Impression upon the
visitor from Washington , Compared with
other placzs visited by Dr. Styles , he said
Lincoln was not exceptional either In a good
or bad light.
The genial doctor left this afternoon for
"parts unknown , " at least he doslred that
his Intentions be kept secret.

ho turned to ace them more closely In
looked Into the barrels of three revolver ;
and was greeted with the order , . "Hands up. '
The stores all around were lighted am
many people were on the streets , but ni
one was conscious ot a robbery going on
The return of Smith prevented A thorouKl
looting of the ollice. They marched their vie
ttm totho north part ot the town and re
leased him in a cornfield , News ot the oc
currcnce did not leak out until today , th
facts being kept quiet In the hope ot flndlni

The name of Engineer Jim Hoot , the hereof

van , the conductor of the train , haa 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 say : "I threw the little girl
through the window ; did I do right ? Does
any one blame me ? ' * and then relapses Into
merciful unconsciousness.
There Is little probability ot lllnckley
ever being rebuilt to Its former prosperous
proportions. The Hrcnnan Lumber company
Is not expected to rebuild Its plant , and with
out an enterprise of this kind thorn Is no
future for lllnckley except as a Junction
point.
The total loss of llfo will never bo definitely
known. There were scattered through the
woods settlers' clearings and lumber camps
with their watchmen , and many people were
undoubtedly burned whose bodies were com
pletely destroyed and will never bo found.

Washburn had a narrow escape from total

down the tramways connected with the mill
The flremcn fought almost like demons and

A ORE AT GOLD STRIKE.
rnlmloui rinil lijr Aualnillnn 1'roKprctnri at
The now gold fields nl Coolganlle In
West Australia , which were discovered only
about five months ngo , promise to rival his
toric llallnrnt in the richness of the finds.
The first discoverers were rewarded by nuny
nuggets , and tlio result was a Ms rush to
ono ot the most forlorn ctunpf ever de
veloped In any country. The camp Is
reached only by a two days' trip across a
desert that Is absolutely destitute of water
or ot feed for animals. A special to the
Melbourne Leader gives this account of
a fabulously rich irold reef just
discovered at this camp , which has prob
ably led to another big rush of prospec
tors. H the reef continues to pan out as it
has started , the mine wilt prove ono ot the
richest ever known.
Reports from Coolgardlu ara to the effect
that a fabulously rich reef lias been struck
at the Londonderry mine , situated eleven
miles south ot Coolgardlc , The accounts
are very meager , but the stone Is said to bo
so rich that one-tenth ot It U gold. The
reef Is three feet wide nnd stands three
feet out of the ground. Severn ! people have
visited the claim and state that It ciiuals If
not exceeds Bayley's Heward In richness.
The owners have been on gold la the
claim for six weeks , and they state that
they covered the reef over with n view to
prevent their discovery being1 made known ,
nnd finally built -a hut over It. During the
progress of their work on the lode n great
boulder of guld was unearthed , which Is
now on view at Coolcardle. The owners re
fused 2,000 , for their magnificent speci
mens.
Later Intelligence concerning the rich find
on the Londonderry claim states that 4,000
ounces of gold have been dollied out in five
weeks , while specimens measuring a foot
srmaro have been obtained so heavy that
ono man cannot lift them. One splendid
block of nine cubic Inches In size was so
rich tint Mr. Elliott , one of the party , Is ,
said to have paid his nicies 2,000 for their
share In It. The gold and several specimens
have been lodged nt the Union bank.
The claim Is situated about eleven miles
southwest of Coolgardlc , and Is really a
grtat blow projecting from three to four
leet from the surface. The lucky holders
are Messrs. Carter , Dawson , Mills and
Gardner of New South Wales , nnd Messrs.
Klllott and Huxley of Victoria. They first
formed Into n party at Coolgnrdle In Febru
ary this year , and , notwithstanding the
almost hopeless outlook of the water aspect ,
resolved to make for the Interior. Lake
Lofroy was selected ns the most likely spot ,
but they wqre unfortunate and decided to
return.
Disheartened , poor In pocket , they pitched
their camp on May 8 lait about twelve miles
southwest of Coolgardle. The country was
highly auriferous , nnd , as Is the custom with
prospectors , after camp was pitched they
went out to test the country. They say H
was Mills made the discovery. Ho was about
a mile or a mlle nnd n half from the camp
when he came across ono of the many large
blows characteristic of the country. He was
astonished on rubbing his hand across a pro
truding piece of stone to see gold standing
out prominently ,
Quicker than It takes to write ho had
knocked a large piece off the boulder , and
at his feet lay a magnificent specimen stud
ded with coarse gold , and before his eyes
was a magnificent reef gold studded. Mills
lost no time in taking several pieces from the
r.eef. These he placed In his bosom , nnd ,
carefully covering the reef with earth , found
his mates and communicated to them the
startling Intelligence. Camp was hafcttly
struck , and they removed to the locality of
the discovery , and next morning a lease of
twenty-live 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 t samlne 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
bbught 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 marvelously rich
stone they dollied 1.000 ounces , and In a
short time had between 4,000 and 5,000
ounces In the tent.
On June 3 th > partners decided to place
this large quantity of gold In safer quarters.
They describe how they packed It up Into
several swags , and by a cart. In charge of
two of the party , safely landed the treasure
at the Union bank. The ntanjger 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 Coolgardle Is Intense.
In a few days there will bo about 2,000 per
sons at the locality of the Londonderry , and
already all the ground on the line U taken
up 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 , nnd a further
parcel said to con'aln 4,300 ounces was
brought In yesterday and lodged in the bank.
NO CONFIDENCE IN BANKS.

There has been no little excitement In the
vicinity of Hackettstown , N. J. , over the
money discovered In the old home of Mrs.
ItebecCa Martin. Mrs. Martin had a con
siderable Income and her uscenses were
small. As he never deposited the re
mainder of the money It was known by her
daughter , Mrs. Morris LeUarre of Hnckctts-
town , that the money was concealed Bomi--
whcro 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 gums ranging from $10 to
$170.
$170.Old
Old drawers were pried open , closets ran
sacked and beds cut open. The first re
ward of their labors was the finding of $170
In gold coin , which was hidden In a rag bag
In the nttlc. The money was wrapped In
pieces of coarsa toweling. A search made
on the following day resulted In the finding of
$338 In bills and about $10 In sliver.
The money was not concealed in a largo
sum , but In small amounts. The mone >
was wrapped In pieces of cloth , toweling or
old stockings , and then put in places mosl
unlikely to be found In n hurried scorch.
Some of It was found In the beds between
the mattresses and the frames or In pillows
which had been ripped open and the money
Insqrted .ajid Hie pillow case resewn. Some
of It was deposited In old teacups , whlct
Were put on the upper shelf of the cup
boards. At another time a snug sum was
found in the toe of nn old shoe , which was
thrown In a corner of a pantry ,
Nine hundred dollars was found on another
day.
day.The eccentric old woman had made rolls
of moneyj varying frqm $50 to $100 , wrappcc
them In remnants ot ilresaen and concralet
them In the drawers of an old dressing case
and In the boxes which were used Instead o
tiunks years ago. The house Is nuw care
fully guarded , The estate is valued r. '
$100,000 and will go to the children ot Mrs
LeBarre.
Gambling on III * I.tfr ,
The gambling Instinct Is strong In mos
men , but It Is seldom that one hears of a
man with sufficient nerve to bet a sum b
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
close friends , for years , relates the Record
One is .a doctor and the other a lawyer. A
year ngo the lawyer , who liad previously
enjoyed the best of health , began to com
plain of feeling run down. Ho consulted his
friend , the doctor , who , after a rqlnute o
thorough examination , told him frankly tha
his lungs were affected , the action of hi
heart waa Impaired , and that he wouldn'
live a year , The lawyer , who Is a man o
Indomitable pluck and will power , wan nat
urally stunned for a moment. After th
first shock had passed off his true na.Vur
asserted itself. "I'll bet you $1,000 you are
wrong , and that I do- live over a year ! " h
exclaimed. The doctor was positive that hi
diagnosis was. correct , and wan forced to ac
cept the b.-t. The money was placed In a
safe deposit vault , and the lawyer wen
abroad. In six moijtlis he returned. Th
year waa up la it week , and he won hi
wager. And what Is more , he says he I

The- election of state odlcers In New York
his f ll is an event ot more than local lu-
erest. Usually the battle of tho- parties
or political control In the Hmplro state
s closely watched by politicians outside ,
nd particularly so when the struggle and
Is result nra likely have -Important bctr-
ng on the succeeding presidential election.
The interest In the coming contest Is ex
ceptionally keen , nnd the successful camll-
late for governor , whether democrat cr re
publican , will thus achieve distinction as
available presidential timber.
Comparatively few men of prominence arc
nentloned on the democratic side for the
offlce of governor. Iloswell P. Flower , the
iresent Incumbent , Is not averse to renomtna-
lon , but his administration has not been
sulllclcntly popular to tnako him an Ideal
cJiulldnlQ. In fact , his nomination would ,
n the opinion of unbiased observers , seri
ously handicap the party , The return of
Mr , William Whitney from abroad nt this-
line Is considered significant , nnd his name
s frequently mentioned ns democracy's com-
ng man. Iteyond these two no others of
nore than local reputation are heard of.
On the republican Bide there Is a plethora
of men regarded as available for the head of
he ticket , and this fact Is evidence of the
widespread belief in republican success 'his
ill. The most prominent on the list are
c < c-Vlc9 President Morton , lion , Joseph II.
Choate , president of the constitutional con
vention , and Hon. J. Sloat Fassett , who
was defeated by Governor Flower three
j-ears ago. The chief objection to the first
latned Is his age. being now 71. But ages
s net a serious obstacle In one so thoroughly
versed In public affairs as Mr. Morton. Ho
s a veteran campaigner , possesses an ample
'ortune ' , nnd In addition lias the support ot
ho 1'latt element , which Is regarded as es-
scntl.il to success. Mr. Morton returned
'rom nurope last Monday and was greeted
by a host of republican politicians , whosup -
ilcmented their welcome with urgent np-
icals to make the race for the n mlnatlon.
I'-rlor to his return attempts to draw him
out were futile , but he haa just given an
ulllrmatlva answer to the all-Important ques
tion.
tion.M
MFassett Is the only one of the. three
men who is an avowed candidate for the
nomination. He- possesses none cf the at-
.ractlvo qualities of Messrs. Morton or
3hoate. Ills reputation Is purely lo'cal ,
lis talents mediocre and his political record
Is darkened by defeat In the race for gov
ernor three years ago.
A POPULAR MAN.
Mr. Choate Is not a candidate In the sense
of having given consent to the use of ills
name , lie IB not an olnccseeker and never
was , and It the honor comes to him It will
bo unsought. As president of the con
stitutional convention now In session In
Albany his talents , hitherto confined to the
tar and to occasional public assemblages ,
liavo became famil ar to all newspaper
readers In the state , and his aggressive
fearlessness and superior mental force are
admired nnd applauded everywhere. With
out any effort on his part the movement In
Ills favor has assumed proportions sufficient
to alarm other aspirants , And It Is grow
ing with such rapidity that It Is doubtful
If the mSchlpe faction can check the tide
In favor of Choate. The Platt men see
their only Irpe In Morton. Without him
the nomination ot Choate now seems Inevit
able.
able.Mr.
Mr. Chnate Is the Ideal of the young men
and the Knickerbocker elements. He Is
not a politician In any sense. Indeed , he Is
cordially dcsplaed by the professional poli
tician , and there is good reason for U.
Whether at the bar or on the rostrum Mr.
Choate rarely forgoes an opportunity to expose -
pose and denounce traffickers In public
places , and no little part of his reputation
as a keen examiner and Incisive speaker
\vns-carncd In the prosecut.on of political
crooks. He has never held public ofllce
and Is averse to public life , .chiefly because
ho abhors t'ie ' methods by which success
In that line is procured. In consequence nf
this aversion he has never set his sails to
catch popular breezes , nnd the sole objec
tion urged against him by hla opponents
Is that his scathing 'denunciation of poli
ticians would Imperil party success.
PROFESSIONAL HONORS CONTENT HIM.
"I suppose my friends know I do not want
public ofllce , " he once remarked , "and that
Is why they never nominated me. " He has
been content with the honors that have
conic from his remarkable professional suc-
cexs , his occasional appearance at Important
public dinners , in exciting campaigns , and
In criticul stages of st.Ue and municipal
affairs. This Is the natural trend of his life ,
nut because he Is lacking In public spirit ,
not because hu is Indifferent to the cause
ot good government , but simply because he
Is absorbed in his professional Inborn.
Mr. Choate Is C2 years of age. Ho was
born In Massachusetts. The family waa one
of the oldest In New England. The earliest
ancestor , John Cheats , became a cltl/en of
MiibBachlibcltH In 1GC7. The grandson of
tlil.s first ancestor , aUo named John , was a
member of tlio Massachusetts legislature
from 3741 till 1761. and for the five years
following n member of the governor's coun
cil. The family was noted throughout for
Its striiiRth of character and mental vigor.
David , a son of tlio Massachusetts legisla
tor , and the father of Utifua , was not
trained In law. but on ono occasion when ho
had a suit pending In court and his counsel
happened to be absent , ho took up the case
himself , examined his witnesses , tore to
shreds the testimony of the other side , made
a i-oiind and eloquent argument and won the
case. No doubt some Interesting sjorles
might be told of Joseph's boyhood and
school days , but the chroniclers are silent
regarding that period. They say nothing as
to whether he was precarious like his fa
mous rcl.itlvc. Rufus , who when a small
boy could repeat the "Pilgrim's Progress , "
or whether his Intellectual powers w ro ot
wore gradual growth. Rufua Choate was a
( looted alumnus of Dartmouth , but Joseph
went to Harvard , and was graduated In the ;
class of ' 52 ,
In 1R55 he was admitted to' the bar In
Mr.ifcacluixettE. nnd In the year following
he came to New York and has practised
there ever since.
HE BEGAN IN THE GOLDI5N AOE.
The period in which Mr. Choate began his
career hero Is commonly referred to as the
golden age of the metropolitan bar. James
T. Brady wns a conspicuous figure In the
popular eye. Charles O'Conor had already
made a deep and lasting impression , Mr.
Evarts was in the front rank of politics ux
well ns of law. Mr. Hoffman was equally
prominent on the democratic side , and Mr.
Stanford' * trllllanpy and marvelous , powers
In cross-examination had given him an en
viable reputation. The legal heavens \rtro
studded with stars of such luster that the
modest young klranger from the Old Bay
state might well have felt sonio concern
nbnut his own future. Hut from all accounts
he did not display any Anxiety. He put out
his Ehlugle and began to look for clients ,
They came In One time , An opportunity waa
given him to display his qualities as an ad-
vtcate. Ho was closely watched by the vet-
eta us who lmw his kinsmen. When he ha 1
finltlieU his first Important speech they
agreed that he was worthy to bear the fam
ily name , Mr , Evarts was particularly at-
tincted to him. A partncrihlp was formed ,
It contlnueH to this day. It was more tlui :
a professionil amjclatlon ; they were unlltd
by the bonds of friendship that have never
been severed. In every way possible Mr.
Evarts opened the path of advancement so-
dolly nnd polltlcilly , as well as profession
ally , for Ins young associate. Success am
fame came quickly , and Mr. Choate has
never failed to show the most grateful ap
preciation of what Mr , Evsrla did for him ,
AN ENVIABLE RECORD ,
A history of Mr. Choalo'a professional ca
reer would require a sketch of a majority o
the great caaei that hare beef ) tried here
Blnco the war , It would Involve , nmont ,
others , the story ot the Tweed ring piuw u
tlon , of the protracted Investigation of the
ease of : General Fltz-John Porter , whom he
lefendcd nt West Point before the boar-i of
officers appointed by President Hayes , which
resulted In the reversal ot the Judgment of
he. original court-martial ; of the celebrated
Ibet suit Instituted by Onston L. Founrdcnt
Rgalnst General Cosnota , whom Mr. C'hoato
successfully defended ; of the Tlldeu will

ncnt that he made with Hiintlngton nt the
: lmo when IIP purchased a block of Central
Pacific Stock from the defendant.
Notwithstanding the press of hla legal en-
Mgomcnls , Joseph H. Choate has found much
tlmo In which to enjoy himself and also to
contribute of his eloquence to the promotion
) f the good Interests of society nnd the stato.
ills presidency ot the New England society.
if the Union League club nnd of the consti
tutional convention are examples of this fea
ture ot his life. Ho Is not. however , In
clined to do those things which are not di
rectly In line with his personal tnste. The
nurtyr spirit inny bo strong \\tlhln htm ,
lint iu has given no great evidences of It ,
When urged to servo his party and his state
jy accepting the nomination for Juilgo of the
? ourt of appeals ho declined. H was not to
Ills liking. Ho would rather remain In tha
legal cockpit nt from $100,000 to $200,000 a
year , nnd consequently ho declined the honor
with graceful thanks.
Very naturally his scholarly tastes have
sought expression In the medium of lltcrn-
lure. The result Is worthy of the man , and
his "History ot the PllgrlmEt" Is a strong
ami fine contribution to American tetters.
Whether In the field of ancient classics or
modern fiction ho Is thoroughly nt home.
