SOMEWHAT MUDDLED.
This afternoon the construction force of
Workmen of the Houston City Street Kail-
way company employed on the track in the
Filth ward were pulled oil, on account of
not having a bridge sufficiently wide for the
railway track and genera! traffic. It was
over a gully near the International railway
track. The perplexing feature to the rail-
v. ay company is that their time for the com-
pletion of that work will expire on the 12th
of August. This company is pushing the
■work on their new Third ward belt, and
liave everything near enough roady to begin
running that line Saturday. The cars will
go out Preston street from the belt to Jack-
son, out it to Pierce, and back to Texas
avenue ou Caroline street. On account of not
yet having received permission to place a
switch a few feet in length to turn the cars
into the central belt used by the Congress
street cars, the new line cars will be run
around the Texas avenue central belt to the
company's office on Travis street, where
they will be turned on the turntable into
the Congress street belt to go out to Jack'
son on Congress street. This will make the
service slower than otherwise, but as soon
as the permission is given to make the de-
al reu connection with the central belt, the
service will he as good as any line in the
city.

an uncsual dilemma.
Not many months back a young Houston-
Ian full of enterprise and thrift noticed a
two-line ad. in The News asking for a
young man who could do a certain line of
•work, and making an offer for such a man.
More as a venture than anything else, a
young man of this city, well and favorably
known, answered it, using an asiumed
name. Though from a long distance, the
answer in due time came and indicated that
everything was suitable. The young man
■was not permanently engaged here at the
time and he decided to make a venture as a
piece of experience and then return home.
He went, met his man, undertook the work
and it wns an Immense success. He used
the assumed name and after working a
yoar his employer proposes to make him a
partner In a prosperous business. He has
never been known by any other Dame than
the one he first gave, and lie proposes to so
go into the firm, because a revelation of the
facts might break up the whole project.

PHELAN'S FIGHT.
He I'luffe a Kansas City Policeman With
His Sword Cane.
Kansas Citt, Mo., Jnly 31.—Captain
Phelan and his sword cane have again got
In the.'r bluff. This time on tho front
marble steps of the exchange building. The
swordsman and ex-work house superintend
ent has done considerable lobbying about
the city ball lately. Ho is a familiar figure
there almost every day, with his big, stiff-
brimmed black hat slanted directly over his
eyes, aud the cane, which has caused cveu
Leavenworth army men to quake, ringing
clangoroutily on the floor at every step he
takes. It might be mentioned in this con
nection that, the sole right to carry sword
canes and other concealed weapons in this
community is reserved to Captain Phelan.
Tho captain was seated on the interior front
steps of the exchange building when the
urbane and good looking Special Police-
man Dunlap approached him and said:
"Av you plase, we allow no body to sit
around ou the steps." Dunlap did not
know the captain. Vice versa must have
been the case, for tho captain Inquired of
tbe stalwart Dunlap in an interested tone
of voice, "who the are you?" Then the
doughty policeman attempted to remove
the ex-work house superintendent to a point
beyond the outer walls. He dallied with
him but a few lines of seconds before tbe
captain was humming about him with his
swordcane unsheathed like a large warm
hornet seeking a tender spot on a fat coun-
try school boy. The sword mot no resist-
ance other than the hard words it encoun-
tered while circling in the air and which
emanated from the captain. Special Po-
liceman Duniai) went elsewhere, leaving
the captain alone upon his victorious field.
AT A GOCD OLD AGE.
An Octogenarian Wedded to a Blushlnf
Bride ot 41.
Louisville, Ky., July 31.—The mf.rriaga
of an octogenarian to a blushing bride of 41
has been reported up In Allen county. Dr
W. E. Arnold of Smith's Grove, 81 years of
age, led to tho altar Miss Kittle Markham
of Mount Aerial, at the unusual hour of 3
o'clock last Friday morning. The ceremony
was kept very quiet, but leaked out. The
bride had never before ventured ou tho
matrimonial sea, buc her husband has been
married six times. Five women, good and
true, who have borne the name of Arnold,
have crossed over the river.
As ia many instances, so in thi.! one, the
course of true love didn't run smooth alto-
gether, as the somewhat romantic aud un-
usual hour of their nuptials would indi-
cate. They were to havo been married at
early twilight, but failed to get the marri-
age license by mail, and having to send a
messenger to Scottville for that necessary
paper, a distance of some tweniy miles, the
rosy tints of dawn were beginning to streak
the eastern sky ere the first kiss of wedded
bliss could bo planted upon expectant lips.
The minister and guests as well as the
bride and groom sat up all night expecting
every hour the arrival of the license, and it
was a sleepy crowd that left the Markham
mansion that morning. The doctor and his
winsome bride left in a Carriage for Smith's
Grove, the home of the former, where they
will reside in the future.

years old, bright in mind, but physically

as a private through tho Mexican war
and during the war between the states was
captain of company E, Thirty-second regi-
ment dismounted cavalry, Ector's brigade,
Polk's corps. The war scattered his for-
tune and other subsequent misfortunes, in-

Among the names on tho passenger list
of tho White Star steamship Teutonic, that
sailed from this port on the 23d instant, ap-
peared that of Mr. R. Boyle, says the New
York Herald.
As exclusively mentioned in the Herald
previously, this plain Mr. R. Boyle was the
missing Richard Henry Viscount Boyle,
now (because of the death of the old earl)
Earl of Shannon, of Castle Martyr, county
of Cork, Ireland.
Lord Boyle, or Earl of Shannon, as he is
now called, is an eccentrlo young man, with
a decidedly interesting history. At tho age
of 33, just seven years ago, the young vis-
count left his home to seek his fortune In
the great northwest. He is a young man
of a decidedly roving disposition, democrat-
ic in his tastes, fond of outdoor sports and
hunting and fishing, and equally fond, as It
would appear, of indulging in what is
known in this country as high rolling.
This young heir ts the earldom of Shan-
non chafed and fretted under tbe restraints
and restrictions of the paternal roof and
longed for the more liberal freedom which
a new and undeveloped country promised
to afford.
ARRIVAL IN AMERICA.
His lordship landed on these shores about
seven years ago, with unbounded ambition
a pocketful of mouey and a general desire
to have a good time so far as circumstances
would permit. After thoroughly doing this
metropolis in company with other kindred
spirits, his lordship went to a ranch iu Man-
itoba and engaged in tho delectable pursuit
of punching cattlo and waging a sports
manlike warfare on the wild uenizensof the
great northwestern forests and streams.
The walls of Ins mountain home were
adorned iu time with giant antlers, and
spread upon his cabin floor were the pelts
of many specimens of tho wild animals
which had fallen victims to his unerring
rifle.
Nor was the pursuit of politics forgotten
in tho land of his adoption. A real Irish
lord who could put an artistic brand on the
wild cattle of the great western foothills
and beard the savage grizzly in his lair
without flinching was a porson to command
respect, and Milord Boyle was therefore
elected a member of tho Macleod legisla-
ture. He served a term with great credit to
himself and to the unbounded satisfaction
of his constituents.
His lordship noxt embarked in the bank-
ing business at Winnipeg, Man., becoming
one of tbe firm of McAtthur, Boyle &
Campbell. The junior partner of the firm
is the youngest son of the duke of Argyl
and brother of the marquis of Lome, then
governor general of Canada. With tlm
collapsS of the Winnipeg boom, however,
camo tho dissolution of tbe firm, and again
his erratic lordshio struck out fur the fron-
tier. -
VANISHED FROM SIGHT.
Lord Boyle was next hsard of in Victoria,
B. C. There, according to accounts pub-
lished in the papers at the time, he appears
to have lod a rather fast life.
Then his lordship suddenly disappeared,
and from that time, over two years ogo,
until within the past week, when the Her-
ald located him in Now York city.hls where-
abouts has ever been veiled in misty uncer-
tainty. As his lordship bad not written
home since his departure, over seven years
ago, it is not to be wondered at that his
relatives were worried by his erratic and
wayward conduct.
lliis anxiety was In no degreo lessened by
the numerous reports of uupuld bills and
angry creditors who seemed to follow upon
bis lordship's trail up to the time of his
disappearance.
That he was a young man of great "prom-
ise" appears to have been an accepted fact
among certain hotol proprietors and other
business people of tho northwest with whom
his lordship bad comu in contact prior to
his departure for parts unknown.
Then came all sorts of conflicting reports
as to where Lord Boylo had bidden himself.
One gentlemun who claimed to know, loca-
ted Lord Boyle in the diamond fields of
South Africa. Others had met hislordship
digging for golden nuggets in the mines of
Alaska, while not a few wero positive that
he had gone to the Bengal jungles to wres-
tle with the tigers and the huge eared
elephants.
After speculating upon his lordship'B
whereabouts uutil the four quarters ot the
globe had been well exhausted, it was de-
termined to declare the young man dead
us the best and only means of disposing
of the matter.
REPORTED BEAD.
Like Stanley, therefore, Lord Boyle was
killed in various ways. From this time on
his lordship died, at intervals,all manner of
deaths. He was, according to various
newspaper accounts, frequently scalped by
Indians, was frozen to death several times,
and, on tho authority of a newspaper pubs
lisbed in tho city of New York recently, tbe
whitened bones of his lordsblp still lie
bleaching under the scorching rays of an
Alaskan sun.
Of course when the old earl of Shannon,
Lord Boyle's father, died some four months
ago and the missing lord had himself be-
come tbe earl, it became a matter of some
moment either that this much killed young
man should be resurrected or that proofs of
his death be well established. For this pur-
pose Lord Boyle's brother Henry came to
this country soon after tbe earl's death.
Mr. Henry Boyle (who is the Hon. Henry
Boyle at home I scoured the great northwest
on the trail of his missing relative, but
finding no trace returned disheartened to
New York.
The brother's search and Inquiries, how-
ever, were not without their fruits, for a
telegram was received two weeks ago from
Idaho from his missing lordship, stating
that he was alive and well and would short-
ly arrive iu New York. Closely following I
the telegram came his lordship himself, |
bronzed and weather beaten as a Sioux
Indian, but a splendid specimen of physical
health and robust manhood.
assumes the earldom.
The new earl of Shannon remained quiet-
ly Iu the city for a fow days, when ho pur-
chased his ticket at the White Star office,
giving his namsas tbe Hon. Richard Henry
Boyle, earl of Shannon. This name and
title, however, seemed to jar upon the dem-
ocratic ideas that his lordship iind sc.jmreil
during hie cow nuoching experiences in the
wilds of the northwest, so the high pound-
ing name was. at bis lordship's request,
shorn of its embellishments and made to
read Mr R. Boyle.
It might also be mentioned that the Hon.
Henry, seemingly iinbuod with tbe demo-
cratic principles of his brother, likewise
sailed under tbe unpretentious title of Mr.
H. Boyle.
It only remained then for the Herald to
break into tho seerot of this unassuming
secretion of identity under which was bid-
den tho personality of bis lordship the mod-
est but wayward earl of Shannon.
^ There appears to be a mystery about Lord
Shannon's disappearance that is by no
means cleared up Ly the mere fact that his
lordship has suddenly materialized in New
York city.
MYSTERIOUS YET.
Mr. W. Lewis Boyle, of Boyl6 & Co.,
bankers, at No. 47 Wall street, is a cousin of
Lord Shannon. Mr. Iioyle gave assurance
that Earl Shannon did not go to Alaska.but
that he spent, the last two years in Idaho
hunting and fishing.
The deputy United States marshal of Ju-
neau, Alaska, and Air. E. C. Gardner of
that territory, however, assert positively
that Lord Bolye was in Alaska for some
time engaged in mining on the Yukon river.
Mr. Boyle stated that the income from
the estates of the earl of Shannon had
dwindled from $100,000 a year to a paltry
sum, owing to the Irish land troubles.

Ayer's Hair Vigor
lU'iuk'rs the hair soft, pliant, r.nd glossy,
promotes a fresh growth, and euros eruptive
diseases of the scalp. Mary A. Jackson,
Salem, Mass., writes: " I have-used Ayer's
Hair Vigor for a number of years, and it ha3
always given me satisfaction. It is an ex-
cellent dressing, prevents the hair from
turning gray, insures its vigorous growth,
and keeps the scalp white and clean."
"Several months ago my hair commenced
falling out, and in a few weeks 1 was almost
bald. I bought a bottle of Ayer's Ilair Vigor,
and, after using only part of it, my head waa
covered with a heavy growth of hair."—
