A FOUTUNK IN A GUaVE.
The Ilouinrlcablo Discovery of nil Old
Miner While ) Preparing for a
Burial ,
There has been more romance conecled
with early Laadvlllo than any other place
on tbo frontier One of the most morgue-
like stories that were ever published was
revamped from a mlnimun of truth Into
a maximum of romance , It was relative
to a claim called tbo Dead Man's claim ,
discovered novr Leadvll'e. A man came
fiom the eastern part of Now York hop.
ing to establish himself as a physician.
11 u wa a ialonterl , educated , but very
delicate , entirely unGttod to stand the
hardships of a frontier life , especially a
winter lift ) , when penniless and hungry
he found himself stranded and and with
no shelter but that aflorded by saloons
and gambling placet , for Loadvlllo was
alrsadp overrun with physicians , lawyers
and men of brain. lie had made A few
friends among the many happy-go-lucky
follows ho met , and they helped him as
best they could. Suddenly ho was taken
sick with pnenmonla and died. The
poor follows who had atood by him lit his
sickness were determined that ho should
have a decent burial , BO they chibbod to
gether and raised a putss of $50. An old
miner , "dead broke" and a sort of bnndy
man around the saloons , named P rl h ,
was given § 30 to dig the grave and $20
for a colliu. It was in the dead of wlnto
the snow five feet on the lovpl , so the
body was taken out and buried in the
snow , while Parish started on his work.
The two men who had collected the fund
for hi ] burial got Interested in n long
game of poker , and after titling forty-
eight hours concluded they would hunt up
Parish and find out how ho was progress-
Ing. So one morning the adjourned to
the spot , end there saw Parish digging
away for dear life , Ho had struck a payIng -
Ing mine , and , forgetting all about the
body , was unotitbiog treasures , The
two men claimed their share. Parish
would nor yield. Eventually tbo nifiir
was compromised and sold out to advant
age to a company. Later the poor doctor
was buried , nnd the matter became a ton
days' wonder and died out as far ni Lcad-
vlllo was concerned , when ono moraine ;
Pariah's attention was call id to n long
article In a nowtpapcr of how ho and a
gang of murderers had in cold blood mur
dered a wealthy gentleman and ' 'jumped"
his claim , The matter was the occasion
of a general laugh nronnd Lcadvlllo , and
poor Parlch for no mo time after earned
the sobriquet of "death doalot's jumper. "
seventy Years In Court ,
Hoaton Advertiser ,
In n caco recently nrguod before the
suptcmn judicial court for the common
wealth , it appeared by the bill of execu
tions that the original proccts in the suit
had Ictmcd more than 20 yearj bofore.
Though this long delay was In no manner
attributable to the action of the courts ,
nnd had , in feet , wrought no hardship to
the parties , it wall illustrates the slow
ness with which justice sometimes moves.
Browsing among the volumes of the
English rjpoit ? , the lawyer frequently
finds a case in which the long protraction
and extraordinary nature of the pro
ceedings nm o Jarndyco vs. Jarndyco ,
"that interminable spider web of n chan
cery suit , " seem commonplace.
A most remarkable instnnco of this
kind ii Shoddcn vs. Patrick , L. 11 1 H.
of L. Scotch , 470. In that csso a vexed
question of legitimacy , which for nlnost
70 years had proved the bore of lord
chancellors and the bane of several generations -
orations cf claimants , cornea on to bo
heard in the honso of lords. And there
its lait stsga ia most dramatic. The
chancellor intimates that , ovelnt ; to the
enormous mats of documents presented ,
the case is almost unintelligible. The
claimants' counsel confessor , after the
manner of a cell eg a student , that ho is
"unprepared. " Tnuii there steps baldly
into the broach one of the claimants , a
woman , Miss Annabella Jean Shedden ,
whojo whole , llfo has been spent in the
vain effort to vindicate the honor of her
family , who has all the documentary evi
dence atlnr totguu's end , and who
knows no fear of the august tribunal
which is to decide her fortunes. She
performs a feat probably unparalleled In
the history of Westminister hall. She
argues her case for twenty-three days be
fore the lords , till the lords themselves ,
accustomed to hear the most intricate and
profound causes treated by the most
acute minds of a most learned profecslon ,
admit that no ono could have preionted
her claims with more clearness of ability.
But tLo decision is rgtlnst her , nnd the
reader feels that In nor disappolntmant
the pathos of the story that poor Miss
FJiio has boon realized. But the case
tai also its humorous sde. ! The noble
lords attempt the delivery of their
several opinions , an act which by all
traditions is privileged from in
terruption or reply. But this
desperate claimant is not
hampered by tradition nor by any ap
preciation of the dignity of her judges
She breaks in with remonstrance and
contradiction. She bullies and hectois
the lord chancellor till he threatans to
have her removed fr.m the court. She
even charges one of the lords with balug
her opponent's counsel and therefore her
murderer. A strange scene for that high
court "ho pathoa of a woman's despair
mingled whh the absurdity of a bo-
wig ed and dignified lord h'gh chancellor
bearded upon his own wool-sack and
pqairming under the comical outrage of a
Caudle lecture. Tiuly , tbo flicop covcra
of the larr reports bind up many a story
of romance in real life , not a whit less
strange in plot and circum&tanco thanaoy
that Iteado , or Trollops , or oven the great
master , Diokenr , over told.

MU8. StTUHVTT AND STANtON ,
Two Strnnjjo ami Improbable Stories
Told by WlllUm I * . Wood , Kx-
Chief of Detectives.
Washington ( D , 0. ) Gszstto.
Some time after tbo execution of Mrs.
Sorrntt , President Johnson pent for mo
and requested mo to give my version of
Mrs , burratt'a connection with the aisas-
iuationof Ptotiiont Ltnco'n. ' I did to ,
and I believe ho was thoroughly convinced
of the innocence of Mrs. Surratt lie
assured mo ho sincerely regretted that ho
had not given Mrs , Sutratt the benefit of
executive demcnsy , and strongly ex
pressed his destatlonn of what ho termed
the " Infamous conduct of Stanton" iu
keeping these facts from him. I assorted
my unchangeable friendship for Mr.
Smnton under nil circuimttncoj , nnd
while I regretted the CQttrio of the toro-
tary of war towards Mrs , Surrati I woult ?
never hoiltato t ? perform any act of kind
ness for him. Piosldont Johnson com
mended mo for my dovotim to friends
and the subject of the aisaealnntlon wn <
never nftorwards diecusied between bin
snd myself. The great war secretary of
Ihp Union VM no longer In power. Ho
was a plain citizen of the republic , broken
in health and tottering between life and
death. The republican loaders had , after
much plraiinr , induced President Grant
to name Mr. Sttnton for a judge or the
supreme coor1 ; . The souato promptly
confirmed the nomination , but Grant , for
some reason best known to himself , did
not put his eigoataro to the comtilsslon
o : If ho did sign tlio commission ho did
not forward it to Mr. Stanton. It was
at thii time the latter sent fur mo , and 1
called at his residence on K street
When ushered into his pruauico I was
startled at his wa-bogpno and wretched
appearance. Hu inquired If I know the
reason why that man ( meaning President
Grant ) withheld his coinmisiiun , I told
him. Thou wo drifted in our talk ta the
execution herein referred to , and ho re
bukcd mo for not making greater clfrrts
to sivo the woman that was hanged , Ho
aaid ho would have trusted his lifn in my
keeping ; that I would have saved him the
torments of hell had I been more petals ,
tent In my flirts. I reminded him of my
call on president Johnton to plead for
mercy for Mrs. Sarratt , and that I was
mot by L. 0. Baker nt the entrance of
the presidents house , and Baker produced
nn order over Ida ( Stanton'n ) signature
which sot forth tint I should not bo per
mitted to enter the building or commanl-
to with the president ,
'Too true , " ho rosondod , "and the
Surratt woman haunts mo so that my
nights are sleepless and my dtiya miser
able , and Grant aids my enemies by re
fusing to olgu my commission , which
would afford mo tompoiary ralief , and
perhaps prolong my life. He will do it.
nnd , Wood , this is at the Irut end. "
Placing his hand to his head , ho contln
ned ; "I cannot onJuro the pressure ; I am
dylcg , dying surely , dyiug now ! "
A few patting words were exchanged
between us , and tbo following day the
death of Edwin M. Stanton was publicly
announced Ho never received his com
mission of judge of the supreme court ,
though ho had bean oc minimi by the
senate of the United States.

A Gum Arabic Famine.
Philadelphia llecord.
The war In tha Soudan lias seriously
affected ths trade In gam arable. Price ]
have a1 ready more than doubled , and
eiaco the supply of this article is drawn
wholly from the country in the Mahdl'a
pot session a outlnnanca of tbo trouble
for n mcch Icngor period will result in a
gum arable famine. Previous to the bom
bardment of Alexandria by the British
fleet tbo tupply of tbe gam was abund
ant and prices were exceptionally low ,
rapglcg frorn 9 to 10 cents a pound for
ordinary sorts guni arable , that ia the gum
as gathered without subsequent ptopata
tlon for market. After tbo bombardment
the prlco advanced to 12 and 15 cents a
pound , the native dealers believing tbnt
the war then beginning would interrupt
the shipment of gum from the intotior.
Subsequent' } ' El Mahdl cut ciT commu
nication between the Soudan and the oca-
board and , his follow era having posses
sion of the entire gam country , the ship
ments ceased , The transportation , which
is by alternate catnol and water route , ii
surrounded by many difficulties , and un
der tbo racst favorable circumstances ,
from eight to ton months Is required to
move the gum from Kordofan to Cairo
and Alexandria. Since the "Falto Pro-
phetV arrival in the vicinity of
Khartoum practice lly no gum arabic has
found Its way from tbe Sondanesa terrl-
toiy to tbo tunal market ! , and the ptico
has still further advanced to 25 enU 30
canta per pound.
It Is a curious fact that cum arnbic is
to-day selling cheaper in Now York and
this city than in uny ether part of the
world , no' excepting oven Cairo and
Alexandria. Tbii Is in patt duo to the
fact that many consumers , ! ! ! this country ,
owln ? to the advance In price , have
adopted substitute ) whcro potsible , The
importation of gum Senegal from
Senegambla , on the west coast of Africa ,
has bean greatly stimulated by the high
price of gum arable. This gam is
similar to the gum arable in nature and
quality , and mikes an efficient oubatl-
tute. Bat for this importation from
Senogamb'a ' and the bringing into use
of substitutes of various inferior gums
the price of sorts arabis would novr bo
not less than 50 cents a pound. The sop-
ply of gam sanrgal is limited , however ,
and Its price M rapidly advancing
The stock cf gum urabio in tto ware
house ! of the world Is exceedingly small ,
and should the war continue ) a year
longer It will bo exhausted. Even should
tbo war end at once it would be two
years before a fresh eupp'y could roach
the markets of the world , It is
oitimatcd that only about 20 per cent
of the crop cf 1883 was gathered , and
nolhltRls known of the crop of J881 ,
which * aj probably nit gathered at all.
What portion of this year's crop may ba
saved will depend on the termination of
the rebellion and tbo peacaful lottloment
of the country. Native doalera in gum
in Cairo and Alexandria , are eo confident
of h'gher prices that they nfueo to soli , ]
and tiave practically withdrawn from the
market.
Tbo gam Is used extensively in the
manufacture ot fine confectionery and fur
siting colors In textile goods. It is used
In large qutntlttea en the government
envelopes , which are manufactured by a
No if England firm. Probab'y ' a larger
quantity of the gum is consumed at tbii
manufactory than at any other single
establishment iu the cmntry. The nd-
hoslvo substance on postage stamps Is
dexto'ine , which pives a more plinbto
surface than could ba produced by gum
arable1.
The unit of commerce for gum arable
is a bale crntaininc 500 pounds. Europe
consumes abe it 12,000 bales annually ,
and America half us much. The busl-
nesi in this cjuatry is practically in the
hands of two houses , < > no in Now York
and ona in this city , of some thirty ycnts
standing. Gum arable exudes from the
acacia tree just as gum comes from some
of our native trees. It is gathuied by
shaking the tree , nnd the time for the
picking in tno neighborhood of Kord
fan , iMrfar and outlying districts is
about ono month after the rains , uhtoh
will usually bring it iu September. The
pum requires some tlmo to dry and har
den , and it takes three months to tram-
port It from Khartoum to Suez by way of
Btrbnr and Stmkin , anil six months from
Khattoum to Cairo by the Nile. Mnch
of It is sent to Trieste , vrhoro it is
picked nnd put on the market in grades.

Mr. Dlalnu'n Call Upon 1'icsldent ,
Cleveland.
New York World.
Mr. Blaine made a formal call on Pres
ident Cleveland at the White llouto
yesterday aftainoon at 5 o'clock. Ho
wua recotved by the president in the
library , No one c'so was present during
the interview. Thi-y wore together
some twenty-five miuu'.co or half an
hour. But little detail of the conversa
tion Islmown tavo tba1 ; it v\a3 upon gen
eral and not leading topic * . It. Is not
surmised , however , that it had any bearIng -
Ing on qaoatlons of Interest to the gain-
cm ! public. On parting Mr. Blaine
aald : "Mr. Proaidcnt , I tinceroly hope
that the cetmtry may bo prosperous and
contented under your adrainls'raticn ' ,
and I trust you will find your lite in
Washington cue of personal happiness. "
Mr. Cleveland thanked Mr. Blaine for
his cordial expressions , and assured h'm '
that between thorn personally thcio could
only bo kindly fooling.
The correspondent of tbo World called
at Mr , Blalno'a hoiuo to got an account
from him of the interview. Mr. Bla'ne
said thera was nothing wba'over to tell ;
thiit ho had simply paid his rcspoctn as a
private citizen to the chief magittrnto of
the nation , and had boon very courte-
outly and kindly received by him ,
Beyond that there was really nothing ;
to lay. Mr. Blaine called through
an arrangement made. Ho sent word
that ho would like to rail and
ray his loipects , and the president re
turned word ( hat ho would be pletsod to
see him at 5 u'clcck , and Mr. Blaloo
arrived at tha white bouse prompt to tha
mlnato.
Ho walked ovar fiom tii hoose , about
half am'le ' dijlant on a straight line out
Sixteenth street , from the fiont entrance
of the white house.
Mr. Blame's entrance at the whlto
bouso made someihiog of a saneat.'on
amnog the attendants about the door , ai
only the president acd Ojlontl Lament
knew of hit corning.
Tbo corrotp-mderit ctllrd at the white
honso to laain'from the president hla Im
press Ions of h s caller , as ilia two mnt for
the nrtt time , but the president did nnt
cite losiy anyihing beyond the fact tli\t
lha rail was a pleaiant ono. The sharp
fight of the campalgo had evidently .left
no heartburnings behind with the two
who had the grottaat stake in It.
