Miss Couzins said sfee first met Mr. Fair in the Biggs house, Washington, in 1883, and took a liking to him at once. During the period of her trouble with the world fair's board of lmly managers, she applied to Fair for political assistance, and while he said he had no such influence, he desired her to correspond with him. In April, 1808, she received a letter from Fair stating that he was going to Chicago with serious intentions of asking her hand and heart in marriage. Fair arrived in Chicago May 7, and was taken ill. Miss Couzins nursed the senator and ministered to his wants in spite of the objections of his secretaries. Upon his recovery Fair asked her to bo his wife, and she consented. As he was more or less ill the marriage was put off. One evening Fair proposed a trip to the exposition together the next day, and that was the last time they were together. "On the following day," Miss Couzins said, "Mr. Fair was whisked out of Chicago as if ho had been a prisoner or a fugitive from justice." She received a letter from him lifter he returned home, and answered it, but never received another. She asserts that their correspondence was inter'septed. Alili ON BOARD HELD UP.

Victor, Col., March 25.—Florence and Cripple Creek railroad train No. 60, south bound, leaving Victor at 9.50 p. m., was "held up" by five masked robbers just outside the city limits.

Two of the thieve* boarded the train at Victor. One entered the sleeper and Commenced immediately to wake up the passengers, relieving them of $500 and watches. The other robber got on the "blind baggage" at Victor and climbed over the tender into the engine, holding the engineer and fireman up and compelling them to stop the train at a point one and a half miles south of Victor, where four or five other robbers were in waiting.

Although actually prepared for the return home, a score of things may step in to delay departure or change destination, but when sailing orders are really received, and the gay homeward pennant is streaming away from the masthead to far astern, the final preparations are made for the return home. reparations for tho Start. Be the passago long or short, the conditions of everything rapidly change; the last few desirable curios and trinkets fof the "best girl" are purchased; there is a premium on pens, ink and letter paper among the bluejackets; men who are not quite "short timers" are fearing transfer to the "new flagship" to be left behind on the Btation, while others, without any apparent reason, actually solicit transfer. The best of good temper mostly prevails—all due to the homeward bound pennant at the masthead, which, by the way, is always purchased by a subscription among the ship's company, sometimes representing a very handsome sum.

When the two ships drew together, side by side, the men of both vessels mounted the rigging, lusty cheers were exchanged and a couple of hundred caps were flung from the Chicago in the direction of the San Francisco, a customary farewell compliment when ships part company on sucb icca*ions. Jonah Went Overboard. When the last cheers sounded from tht men of the Chicago, a figure "very like a man," was seen to fall overboard from aloft out of the forerigging, but it was only a dummy cast into the sea, symbolizing the throwing of Jonah into the deep, to propitiate the storm fiends ami invoke a season of fair weather for the homeward bound ship.
