HIDES AND TALLOW.
Some persons , according the Shoe nm
Leather Review , hold the opinion that hides are
accumulating nt country points since the com
petlllon among city dealers to buy them lias
decreased. Natural conditions seem to favo
tha , new plan of buying on selection. The Inn
tiers are not anxious for hides nnd there is no
Incentive for dealers to
scpur the In
quest of them. Quotations : country

NEW YOHK , Feb. 13. The human brain

of 114 East Fifty-sixth street exhibits a
picture of his own brain , obtained from a
process In which the cathode rays are not
a factor. He tiaa been nearly tlireo years In
completing bis experiments. He tells the
story of his efforts as follows ;
"The brain has Jfeenjpy especial study , and
[ have worked Indenejidently In a quiet way
'or nearly three yntreX'to photograph It , I
first bought to ftfccoiAlish my purpose by
lai'slng a contliiuourf current of electricity

"I am still far ( Irani , having perfected the

Schlosser's dock on the American bank , about

almost entirely diverted to the Canadian

wetting his feet , and , Indeed , to walk be-
ween all the Islands Indde of Goat Island.
At 11 o'clock the water was BO low that a

CATTI.El It wns nnothcr day of ex-
trcmsly" light cattle rcgelpts , only 829 head
being received , ns nghdut 9S3 yesterday nnd
064 on Thursday of last week. There were
hardly enough cnttlo here to go around
among the buyers , mill as everyone wanted
a few head , the trade was soon over. The
feeling on the market was better , and the
trade ns a , whole Was more satisfactory
from n seller's point of view.
Only nbout n dozen loads of fat Htcer
were on sale , nr.d the buyers picked up
all that were desirable in Rt/od season ,
paying tully steady prices. The best cnttlu
here were only fairish stuIT , and the sales
were mostly at J3.5003.70.
Matchers' stock was again In very light
supply , only about ten loads of row * nml
holfcre being oftored for wile.- The demand
was very urgent , and everything sold on
the Jump , nnd at prices fully We higher
than ye tenlay. The liens were practically
cleared of that kind of cattle before 0
o'clock. Snippets nre all talking of the
rcarclly of butchers' stock In the country
and the size of the receipts would seem
to bear out their assertions.
Full loads of Btockcrs nnd feeders were
hard to nnd , the supplyconsisting mostly
of odds nnd ends , n piece of a load here
and ihere. The market did not show any
material change In the matter of values.
The demand Is light , but with so few com
ing It has been sufllclcnt to hold prices
steady. Representative sales :

SACRAMENTO. Cal. , Feb. 13. John P
Harmons , a tramp , BO years of age , who by
his own confession recovered over $20,00' '
that was hidden by train robbers a yea
ago , Is locked up In the Jail in this city
for months ho has been living In San
Francisco on the fat of the land , on the
prcceeds of money taken from the Overlain
express near Sacramento by Jack Brady ant
Drowning over a year ago. The prisoner
has lurned over to the police $2,000 which
he had In the German Savings bank Ir
San Francisco , $5,900 In securities , a diamond
ring and a diamond collar button.
Harmons found the money hidden under a
clump of bushes near Sacramento , where ,
the robbers who held up the train hat
burled It. It Is known that the robbers ob
tained over $60,000 from Wells , Fargo S.
Co. , but Hfcrmcna did not find all the
plunder. He says he obtained only $20,000
but It Is believed that these figures arc
rather under the exact amount. This con
clusion Is based on the fact that when
Drady , one of the bandits , confessed urn
took the officers to the place where the
money was burled , only $6,000 was found.
Harrncns had evidently- taken the rest ol
the treasure before the officers arrived.
Harmens was arrested In San Francisco
Saturday and brought to this city last , night
In appearance he isa typical tramp
Among Ills' friends "he Is , known as ' 'Dutcl
Charley. " After he found the money ho
went to San Francises , where he loaned n
great deal to responsible business men. Hut
he was not miserly , as It Is said that he
lived a life of luxury seldom dreamed ol
by the average tramp. He bought the most
elegant clothes for himself , making a trip
to New York for the purpose , and the tramp
was transformed Into a regular fashion plate.

NEW YORK , Feb. 13. A special from
Panama , Colombia , says : A great fire raged
In Guayaquil , Ecuador. When the firemen
and soldiers , who were hurriedly ordered out
to help them , finally brought It under con
trol , thousands of panic-stricken persons
were homeless In the street ; ' , many lay dead
In the morgues and property worth nearly
$2,000,000 had been destroyed , Including the
noble cathedral and the convent which adJoined -
Joined It. The fire was first discovered In
the convent. It spread with such rapidity
that It way with great difficulty that the
majority of the Inmates escaped with their
lives. The firemen were on hand within a
few minutes , but were unable to save cither
the convent building or the cathedral of
San Augustine , which the flames Immediately
attacked. From there the fire flew to sur
rounding property , and In an Incredibly short
time many blocks of houses were In a blaze.
The fire brigades of all surrounding towns
were summoned by telegraph , and battalions
of guards were dispatched to aid the firemen.
Through their efforts the spread of the fire
was checked , and the city saved from de
struction.
The panic , which began among the nuns
In the convent , several of whom were burned ,
was contagious , and the city became terror-
stricken. The officials urged the president ,
General Alfaro , to seek a place of safety , and
ho took refuge , with , his family , on board o
steamship In the harbor.
It Is believed that at least thirty persons
suffered death , and It Is known that many
were Injured.
