A FAKIR'S FORTUNE.
Hmatitabl Career of J. H. Lighthall, the Diamond King. Ecmira, "N". Y., Jan. The death of J. K Lighthall, the "diamond king" and niedi--Cine fakir, at Fan Aatonio, Tex., and .who left $"), OW. closes a very remarkable career. Six years ago. then only twenty-four years old, he took the role of a "cure all,'' and sold "what he called Indian oil. oa tne street corners, lie made money, and soon employed a brass band of eight picked up pieces to attract a crowd. He added to his Stocka cure for consumption, tooth powder and blood puriüer. He had a slight knowledge of dentistry, and pulled tec th free, the work bein? tibne very rapidly. The band played darin the operation, to drown the yelling of patients. Two years ago the party "worked"' a."!vUIe, Tens., there being eight men and twu vitmpi in the tand. among whom was Geoe r.oberts. of Elmira, a great favorite of the lAxtor. lro:n asimile the party drifted Southward, when Lighthall discovered tliat other parties were selling Indian -Oil. He then cnanged the name to hpanish Oil, and increased his company to feisty-one persona by taking in several .Spaniards, Indians and Mt xk an?, and thereafter showed m a lUO-foot round tint. onrerts wer' given, while J.ighthall was kept busy passing out medicine, and his assistant fakirs sold ii among the audience. I'.ig crowds were attracted everywhere, and money rolled in rery fast. The company occupied tent? and 'lived oa the fat of tin- land," as Huberts presset! it. The medicine, except the consumption cure, was manufactured at l'eoria, J1L, by l.ighthall'9 mother and her third husband, Isaac Wright, a resident uf Mill port, this countv. .From l'eoria tie stuff wa sh:pjed in barrels to the camp, vhere it was put in bottles and labeled. Llorhthall's father was a Chief of the Tonawanda Indian-", quarter blood, and several yeaj ago he left his wife. SLe afterward married a man named Johnson. The latter also left home suddenly, but subsequently turned up, when he found Wright in his place as husband. Johnson traveled as a detective for Lighthall and .kept order in the camp. "Ir." Charles Lockwood, a member of the Xigbtha"! party, became enamored of Lighthall's wife, and his love having been reciprocated, the pair I'ed from camp, taking with them a splendid pair of horses and the medicine wa.'oa, and made good their escape, Unally taking up their abode in llinghamton. Johnson worked up the ca-e, and two years ago Lishthall. Wright, Koberts and Johnson tame to Lloiira, and after maturing pians liingbamton wa ; reached in disguise, and by a never ruse Lockwood was taken out of town, and I.L'hthall went to the Lightwood residence, surried his wife, and useertaining where the hordes and wairon were, took .possession of them and speedily drove acr033 jh? Tennsylvania line, continuing until be joined the camp at Richmond, Ind. "When Lockwood eloped lie left a wife Had one cl.ild in Illinois, and Lighthall, taking compassion on the woman, made her superintendent of cooking in the camp at a ood salary. When the whereabouts of Lockwuod and bis illegal wife became known they left suddenly for Canada, and tlieir whereabouts are unknown. J'r. J.igutLall was known as the Diamond Xing on account of his great love for diamonds. He wore a ring in which were lT'I ' stonea:ul a pin that was dimply enormous. He bad a Tatch made lor him similar to the one worn by "Alvin .loslyn,'" twenty-two stones encircling the case. Lighthall was a irreat favorite witlt his assistant?, and nothing was wanted bv any of rthera that wa" not supplied by him. He was ei.aritaMe, and on many oc c asions when poor people applied for medicin.- the bottle "was handed to them wrapj-ed in a $J0 or a MO bill. Mr. Itobertü believes that Lighthall took in over .100,(nx a year while he wa3 with h:m. and must have been worth a rrreat di al more than reortel at the time cf his death. For twenty years Henry F.

llecelviog the Attention of C'ongre-M. Special to the Sentinel. Washi-;ton. Jan. 1'S. Comptroller Durham and Jlr. Schaefcr, a former clerk ia the Signal Service, set and sprung the mine that blew up the Signal Service Bureau. Schaefcr resigned his position in that department to initiate this investiga tion. He first communicated with Durham who introduced him to 1'airchild, Assist ant Secretary. The account came under Maynard. and the report ap pears over his name. Schac-ft-r was assigned a room w ith a clerk and authorized to look at any papers in the Department. He received no aid from any of the many llepublican chiefs and clerks with "jvhom be worked. On the contrary, they endeavored to thwart him in every way possible, but after five months' hard work the mine was ready for the electric touch. The report is full, sharp and decisive. A million dollars, or more, has gone wrong. There are no vouchers to show for the enormous expenditure, and where it all went is further along. Hon. Thomas JI. Ilobertson this morning introduced a resolution calling for an immediate investigation of all the affairs of the signal service, and the bottom facts will be brought to light. The case will, of course, involve llobert Lincoln, late Secretary of War, as the bureau is a branch of the War Department. If (leneral Hazen issued orders for those expenditures be is responsible, and will be triea by court-martial. If the disbursing ollicer made them without orders he is responsible, with his bondsman. The list of exenditures makes an interesting literary curiosity. Whisky, rifles, histories, novels. Mark Twain's books, and what not, are on the "list,' and will be mied. n doubt, when search is made. One clerk lost nearly $1."00.

Special telegrams to llracbtreets, from a more extended number of distributing centers indicate that general business lias not been su active. The snow blockade of the large Northwestern railways, which has c hecked the movement of trains for the greater part of two weeks, lias just been raised. At New York City there has been some activity among dry goods, commission merchants, as at Doston most notably in bleached cottons and print cloths. In other lines of those cities trade may he classed as fairly satisfactory. Dry goods generally are favorably a fee tod hv the renewed buying. I'ri at cloths in Ii rst hands are quite firm and advancing. Prices yesterday were cents per yard for (-4's, against "." loa week aw. A 'small advance has been obtained for medium sorts of woo! at the se aboard. The strength of the London spring sales encourages ex isolations of a brisk demand for material. At Philadelphia there is no general activity. The "distribution of general no p handise from Italtimore, has been light, but country stocks are reported low and orders are accumulating. Advices from Cleveland. Cincinnati. Louisville. "Memphis. Chicago, St. Paul. Hurlington, St. Ixmis and Kaunas City, report a quiet movement in trade. At J'ittsourg. business has been satisfactory, and at San Francisco prosj-ccts are said to be good.

Mich., say: "The resi dents of this city were greatly excited last night over the sensational suicide of I. Cox, a young mechanic, a Wut thiny years old. He was a cousin of Charles Clowes, who killed himself and mistress in a Chieago bagnio a week ago. Clowes' re mains were brougnt here for interment. Young Cox seem! to have been deeply affected by the tragedy in which Iiis cou-in figured. Ye-ter-day he went into a hardware stvre and asked to be shown some revolvers. The proprietor intuitively felt that something was wrong, and declined to exhibit the weapons. Cox afterward entered another hardware store. No undue mental distnrUtm e wa; indicated bv bis demeanor.

Smith, of Kokomo, who wa" on Monday api)inted to fill the place of Martin .McCracken, who wai "fired" froni the postal service. After Smith had leen armed with bis commission and ready for action, be made a final visit to Senator Yoorhees to say goodby and possibly extend his thanks for the favors extended bim 5n se uring him the osition. Defore he left the room he thought of one nore favor which he supposed the Senator would be only too glad t extend, which was a request that the Senator secure for him a railroad pass from Indianaioli to Cleveland, the head quarters, where be should report for duty. Äs the Senator had no oflk ial connec tion with any railroad in the country, he thought thi was asking just a little more than be could grant to his enthusiastic constituent. The San; tor Is -aid to have replied something after the following, placing bis band gently on the shoulder of Smith: "My friend, I am willing to do anything in my power for you. I am perfectly willing to go out to any graveyard and dig up a hundred dead bodies and "bring them in to you; but I'll be hung before I will get you a railroad pass."' 3Ioney Maker don't let jcoMca opportun: tie pass unimproved: there are tin m the lire of men when more money can be made . rapidly and easily, than otherwise can 1-e earned by years of lalor.

Yignaui came forth at 8:05 p. m. and. was applauded. Schaefer following a moment later with renewed applause. Both players were in evening dres3. Meanwhile odds of 50 to "35 were being offered on Schaefer. At 8:10 Umpire McCreerey announced that the game would begin with the understanding that Yignaux might make 900 points, if possible, during the evening to 600 point1; made by Schaefer. This waj evidently to allow Yignaux to compare with Schaefer in his plaj' of last night. Schaefer began to play with the balls in the position ia which the y had been left on the eve ning previous He made 1. Yignaux made IL Then Schaefer made a duck egg and Yignaux scored S. Schaefer made lb and Yignaux bezan. to play in his brilliant manner. He did not score many points, but they were all deserved, and he stopped only with V2 additional points to his credit. Then "the mag'ciaa" played and made nothing. Yignaux made 17. The game began to look iiitprestir.g, and when Schaefer stopied play in the fcixth inning with only lo points to his credit, the hope of the friends of Yignaux began to revive. Yignaux then made 11. In the tenth inning, Schaefer's manipulation of the balls elicited the admiration of all, and it was admiral'le. The balls were all the time in the center of the table, and 13 points were scored. Nothing could have been more delicate tbtin Schaefer's manipulation. Then Yignaux made 34. Schaefer made a duck egg and Yignaux 4.

Schaefcr, in his fourteenth inning, having put together 178 buttons, and Yignaux having followed with lb" in brilliant style, tin realtor until the last inning but one, Vignanx seemed to lose his nerve and was unable to rim more than 25 in any inning.

A novel case is ir hear ing before Judge Dyer in this city, the deci sion in which will attract considerable atten tion ia insurance circles, as it involves a iuestica of whether or not suicide is an accident.

It was ex pec teil that ail the theaters would be closed, but this morning's papers announced that performances at Heuck's two theaters would be given both in the afternoon and to-night. The performances were not interrupted. In explanation f this breach of agreement Heuck's manager said that they gave their promise to close uion the pledge of the 1-aw and Order League that all concert saloons shculd be closed also. They were all ojen to-day and to-night. The league, on the other hand, claims that it did not agree to close the concert saloons in one week, and that it i3 using due dilligence in that direction by making arrests. It is probable that many more arrests will be made to-morrow. All the theaters except Heuck's remained closed to-day.

Bloomim.tox, Ind,, Jan. 31. Saturday was the most exciting day of the week of the Chambers trial, caused in the most part by the sudden appearance of George K. Davis, the injured express messenger, but while the State gamed in this well-directed stroke they lost in a decision of the Court ruling out the forgeries in which Chambers used the name of bis uncle without permission. It was only known by a few persons connected with the prosecution that Davis was in the city or that he was able to be out. A physician's evidence bad occupied almost half an hour, and was closing, when in the center aisle appeared the slender form of a stranger. "George K. Davis will please come forward as a witness,"' called out Colonel Friedley, the railroad attorney. It wa? a surprise that was even noticeable on the jury, and it was a stunner to C hesley 'hampers as be sat in bis usual place, a post keeping bim well guarded from the witnesses' seat. He doubtless thought that another effort at identification was to follow, and the people crowded and jammed, expressing all kiuds of expectations. Davis walked forward, but it was soon evident that lie was a mental as well as a physical wreck. Chambers llushed, his face twitched and his lingers nervously clutched a blotting pad, his eyes catching a glance of the man whom he was? on trial for worse than murdering. Davis was on the t tand for fully twenty minutes, but so low were his thinking facilities that but little was said of the terrible story in which he was the principal actor, for the period of the tragedy of which he was the victim is a long blank to his memory. Poor George K. Davis, pierced in the brain with a pistol ball, fine in stature, bonest.and kind, could tell no t:Xc- when in the very presence of the man identified as causing bis pitiable condition. "My name is George Iurtz Duvis," he said in almost inaudible tones. "I am twentyfour years old, and live at Louisville. On the 2! ith of last April I took the northbound train on the Monon route for Chicago as express messenger, and attended to my work up to after leaving ltedford, when I lay down to take a rest. From that time until almost June I knew nothing nor can think of nothing that happened. I did not know the cause of this until told. I was not at the trial in September because the doc tors told me to go to the country to improve my health. 1 was advised by physicians not to tome this time." Here Davis recognized hh cap worn on that terrible niuht, and al-o his revolver that, in the hands of an assassin, sent bullet through his brain. It was not what he said but the way be said it that made the impression. As he was dismissed from the court-room and walked within a few feet of Chambers the prisoner dropped his head and looked the other way. The evidence of Peter "Webber, the bnggageiraster, who was shot ami knocked down and afterward identified Chambers, was given in the afternoon, and was materially stronger than before. When on the stand he wasaked to point out the man that shot him. "That man biding behind that Impost, but I see him.'' "Webber was cross-examined very little. It was almost cr'clock when the Mate closed its case for the present, and the defence bc
gan a presentation of their case, though only an introduction bad been made when court adjourned. The interest in the trial is grow ing every dav.
