THC NEW CHIEF JUSTICE.
Sketch of th Crr of MUlvlllo W.
Fullor.
Cbicaoo, April 30. Th nomination
of Melville W.FulUr, of Chicag. asCkief
Justice f the Uaited States ia regarded
here with unbounded satisfaction bj lead
ing mil of beth partial. Fuller in ererj
respect ia fitted te fill that high efice,
lie was burn in Augusta, Me., February
11, 1833; graduated at Howdoin in 1858,
Minister Phelps being a classmate of his.
After studying law at Bangor aid attend
ing the lectures at Harvard, Fuller came
west to Chicane. His ability was
speedilj recognized and fer thirty
years he has won distinction atoeag the
foremeat of the bar. He baa been prom
inent at several democratic national cen-
Tentiens and in 1860 was selected te de
liver the address of welcome to Stephen
A. Deuflas. In his practice in the su
preme court f the United States, Fuller
has frequently come in contact with Ed
munds, Thurman, and other great law
ere, but has never failed to hold his own
against the greatest of them. He is fa
miliar with decisions of the court and es
pecially en all constitutional questions.
When Fuller was informed f the nom
ination he was everwbelmed with sur
prise and requested that he be net pressed
for an extended interview, simply stating
that he would accept the nominatien.
Singular Discovery by Workmen-
McKeesport, Pa., April 30. While
tearing down an old building in this
place recently, workmen found, in the
chimney, built in with the brick, a pint
flask of whisky, labeled as having been
distilled in 1828. The house was built
in 1833 by the late Orlando Greer, and in
a tin box found near the flask was a
written statemcn that he had placed the
whisky in the chimney, The most sing
ular part of the discovery was a written
prophecy in which the following extra
ordinary language appeared:
"Thirty-five yeara from 1838 slavery
will net exist in this land, although it
ill have cost thousands' to make the
change. Mn will converse rem beach
to beach of ocean eaier than incite a let
ter. The demons fashion a.nd drink will
enthrall the masses. Efforts will be
made to overthrow the fiend rum. The
tallow candle of today will not even be
used to grsaso boots. Men will touch
the wall as Moses touched the rock for
water, and light will dfrpel the dark
ness. Prohibition will be a hattle-ery,
with temperance a formidable enemy.
The tirst will fall, the latter prevail for a
time, wax weak, and men will again
court the cup. The flask of spirits which
I place herewith will rise in the midst of
a eonrlict which will claim it as one cf
the pirucipals."
Bloody Battle Botweon Two Toxas
Romeos and their Frlonds.
Jeffkksok, Tex., April 30. Jamsa

became crazed with grief.
Both Died. ,
San Antonio, Tex., April 30. A fierce
and to hand fight occurred last night on
the Southern Pacific eastbound express
at Valentine Station. Sani Taylor a
drunken cattle man, boarded the train,
and Conductor Charles Server, finding
him troublesome, tried to put him off.
Taylor drew a long dirk and plunged it
into Server again and again. The con
ductor managed to get out his revolver,
and fired a bullet into Taylor's heart.
Both men were dead in a short time.

BUCKING OF THE BRONCO.
Om eT tlv KecrMtlons sf tfce eowfeoy.
T Maine n, Tlotoas Bn
"While the head men are gathered in a
little knot, planning out the work, the
others are dispersed over the plain in
every direction, racing, breaking rough
horses, or simply larking with one an
other. If a man has an especially bad
horse, he usually takes such an opportu
nity, when ho has plenty of time, to ride
him; and while saddling he is surrounded
by a crowd of most unsympathetic asso
ciates, who greet with uproarious mirth
any misadventure. A man on a bucking
horse is always considered fair game,
every squeal and jump of the bronco
being bailed with cheers of delighted
irony for the rider and shouts to 'etay
with him,"
The antics of a vicious bronco show in
finite variety of detail, but all are mod
eled on one general plan. When the
rope settles round his neck the fight be
gins, and it is only after much plunging
and snorting that a twist is taken over his
nose, or else a hackamore a species of
severe halter, usually made of plaited
hair, slipped on his head. While bring
bridled he strikes viciously with his foe
feet, and perhaps has to be blindfolded
or thrown down; and to get the saddle
on him is quite as difficult. When sad
dled, he may get rid of his exuberant
spirits by bucking under the saddle, or
may leam ve all his energies for the rider.
In the last case, the man, keeping tight
hold with his left hand of the check
strap, so as to prevent the horse from
getting his head down until he is fairly
seated, swings himself quickly into the
saddle. Up rises the bronco's back into
an arch-; hu head, the ears laid straight
back, goes down between his fore feet,
and. squealing savagely, he makes a suc
cession cf rapid, stiff legged, jarring
bounds.
Sometimes he is a "plunging" boeker,
who runs forward all the time while
bucking; or he may baek steadily in one
place, or sonftsh" that is, bring first
one shoalder down almost to the ground
and then the other, or else he may
change ends while in the air. A first
elass rider will sit throughout it all with
out moving from the saddle, quirting hs
hone all the time, though his hat may
be jarred off his head and his, revolver
out of its sheath. After a few wimps,
however, the average man grasps hold of
the bora of ate saddle the delighted on
lookers meanwhile earnestly advising
hum aet to "go to leather and to eon.
tented to get through the affair In any
shape provided he can escape without be
ing thrown off. An accident is of neces
sity borne with a broad grin, as any at
tempt to resent the raitery of the by
standers which is perfectly good
humored would be apt to result dis
astrously. Theodore Roosevelt in The
Itcal Estate Bargains
