"A MilHon of Dollars or I'll Set the Pacific Ocean in Flames" Fate of a Man who Burnt Up a Mountain Lake in Fifteen Minutes-A Remarkable Story. Id the Sacramento Daily Union of are cent date appears the extraordinary state ment of one Leonidas Parker, written be fore big death, and giviDg what purports to be a true - account of his connection with the murder of Gregory Summcrfield. The latter individual has been known for many years as " The Man with the Secret," and he met with a horrible death at the age of seventy years, by being pushed from the platfrom of a train upou the Union Pacific railroad, near the north fork of the the American river, at a place called Cape Horn. The unfortunate wretch was hurled downward a distance of over one thousand fect upon the brist ling rocks at the foot of the declivity. Parker, who wa3 upon the platform at the time of the catastrophe, was twice arrested and tried for the alleged murder, but was on each occasion mysteriously acquitted, once by a justice and the second time by a grand jury. Parker was himcslf a distinguished lawyer of Sacramento, and was widely re spected. He always remained silent con cerning the circumstauccs of the imputed crime, but tihortly before his death he placed in the hands of a friend a docu ment, the Hist of which we give below the entiro story taking up nearly a page ot tne union. Referring to George Summerfield, the murdered man, Mr. Parker speaks of him as having been one of the deepest chemi cal students of the age, a natural mathe matician, a profound astronomer, and a man of excellent general literary attain ments. Parker had known Summcrfield for over twenty year.?, their acquaintance having been formed in Texas during the days of the republic. Continuing his ac count Parker gays: One day toward the close of last Sep tember an old man rapped at my office door, and on invitation came in, and ad vancing called roo by name. Perceiving that I at first did not recognize him, he introduced himself as George Summcr field. After inviting him to a scat I scrutinized his features more closely and quickly identified him as the same per son whom I had met twenty-two years before. lie was greatly altered in ap pearance, but there was the old charm of intellectual superiority in conversation, and I welcomed him to California as an importaut addition to her mental worth. " It was not many minutes before he re quested a private interview, lie followed me into my back office, carefully closed the door after bim and locked it. We had scarcely seated ourselves before be inquired of me if I had noticed anv re cent articles in the newspapers respecting the discovery of the art of decomposing water so as to fit it for use as a fuel for ordinary purposes V I replied that I had observed nothing new upon the subject since the experi ments of Agassiz and Prof. Henry, and . .1 " . aaaca mat, in my opinion, tne expensive moue or reuueuon would always prevent its use. ' In a few words he then informed me that he had made the discovery that art was extremely simple, and the expense attending the decomposition so slight as to be insignificant. " Presuming that the object of his visit to mc was to procure the necessary forms to get out a patent lor the right, I con gratulated him upon his good fortune and was about to branch forth with a descrin tiou Ot some ot tne great benefits that must ensue to the community,, when he suddenly and somewhat uncivilly request ed me to 'be silent and listen to what be bad to say. He began with some general remarks about the inequality of fortune amoncst manking, and iustaoced himself as a strik ing example of the fate of thoso men who, according to all the rules of right, ought to be near the top, instead of at the foot of the ladder of fortune. " Hut" said he springing to his feet with impuldive energy; 4I have now the means at my command of rising superior to fate, or inflicting incalculable ills upon the whole human race.' ''Looking at him more closely, I thought I could detect in his eyo the gleam of madness ; but I remained silent and await ed further developments. Hut my scru tiny, stolen as it was, had been detected, and he replied at once to the expression of my face : 'No, sir, I am neither drunk nor a maniac; I am in deep earnest in all that I say ; and I am fully prepared, by actual experiment, to demonstrate beyond all doubt the truth of all I claim.' "For the first time I noticed that he car ried a small portmanteau in his hand ; this bo placed upon the tabic, unlocked it, and took out two or three small volumes, a pamphlet or two, and a small, square, wide-mouthed phial, hermetically sealed. " I wacthed him wtih porfound curios ity, and took note ot his slightest move ments. Having arranged his books to suit him, and placed the phial in a con spicuous position, he drew up his chair closely to my own, and uttered, in a half hissing tone : " I demand one million dollars for the contents or mat Dottle, and you must! raise it for me in the city of San Francis co within one month, or scenes too terri ble even for the imagination to conceive, will surely be witnessed by every living human being on the face of the globe.' " The tone, the manner, and the absurd extravagance of the demand, excited a faint smile upon my lips, which ho ob served, but disdained to notice. " My mind was fully made up that I bad a maniac to deal with, and I prepared to act accordingly. Hut I ascertained at once that my inmost thoughts were read by the remarkable men before me, and seemed to be anticipated by him in ad vauce of their expression. " Perhaps,' said I, 'Mr. Summerfield, you would oblige me by informing me fully of the grounds of your claim, and the nature of your discovery.' ' 1 Thst is the object of my visit,' be re plied. 4I claim to have discovered the key which unlocks the constituent gases of water, and frees each from the cm brace of the other, at a single touch.' ' ' You mean to assert,' I rejoined, 'that you can make water burn itself up.' '"Nothing more nor less,' he responded, 'except this to insist upon the conse quences of the secret, if my demand be not at once complied with.' " ' Now, suppose I fling the contents of this small phial into the PaciSo Ocean, . i. i. . ii i .1 i -I miau wouiu 03 mc resmt; jare you contemplate it for an instant? I do not assert that the entire surface of the sea would instantaneouslv bubble up into in sufferable flames ; no, but from the nu cleus of a circle, of which this phial would be the centre, lurid radii of flames would gradually shoot outward, until the blaz ing circumference would roll in vast bil lows of fire upon the uttermost shores. Not all the dropping cloud.- of the deluge could extinguish it; not all the tears of saints and angels could for an instant check its progress. Onward and onward it would sweep, with the steady jrait of destiny, until the constituents would melt with fervent heat, the atmosphere glare with tho ominous conflagration, and all liviug creatures in land, and sea, and air perish in one universal catastrophe. -men suaacniy starting to his feet, ho drew himself to his full hitrhls, and murmered solerauly, I feel liko a God and recognize my fellow men as pigmies inac i spurn oencath r.ly feet.' At this Parker states that he altempt- eu to reason with oummerhcld on the ab surdity of believing that he held in his hands power so michtv. at which thn latter retorted with quotations from the scriptures, Humboldt's Cosmos, and the works of famous astronmical writers, proving that it was not only possibly for entire planets to be destroyed by fire, but that such terrible events had actually oc curred. This answer concluded, he handed Parker a small phial, requesting him to open it and smell of its contents, tho result beiug that a strong odor of pot assium was observed. At this Summer field continued, "Of course," said ho "you are familiar with the chief characteristic of that substance. It ignites instant ly when brought into contact with water. Within that little globule of potassium I have imbedded a pill of my own com position and discovery. Tho moment it is liberated from tho potassium it commen ces tho work of decompsing the fluid on wnicn it uoats. llio potassium at once ignites the liberated oxygen, and the conflagration of this mighty globe is be gun. " ' Yes,' said I, 'begun, if you please, but your little pill soon evaporates or sinks, or melts in the surrounding seas, and your conflagration ends just where it began.' 44 Hut sneered he, 'the elcmentery substances iu that small phial recreate themselves : they are self-ccnernfini nnd when once fairly under way, must neces I sanly sweep onward, until tho waters in all tho seas are exhausted.' am - . I " Pusing from my seat, I went to the wash stand in tho corner of the apart ment, and, drawing a bowl full of Sprinar Nalley wator, I turned to Summerfield aud remarked, 'Words are empty, theo- ries are mic out lacts are turners " 1 " I take you at your word." So savins he approached tho bowl, cuiptiol it of nine-tenths of its cortents, and silently I dropped the potassium coated pill into the j liquid. The potassium danced around the edges of the vessel, fuming, hissing ofjand blazing, as it always does, aud seemed on the point of expiring, when to my as tonishment and alarm a sharp explosion took place, and in a socoud of time the water was blazing in a red, lurid column half way to tho ceiling. " For God's sake," I cried, " extinguish the flames or we shall set the building on fire !" ." Had I dropped the potassium into the bowl as you prepared it," he quietly re marked," the building would indeed have been consumed." Lower aud lower fell the flickering flames, paler and paler grew the blaze, until fiually the fire went out, and I rushed up to sec the effect of ' the combustion " Not a drop of water remained in the vessel I Astonished beyond measure at what I had witnessed, and terrified al most to the verge of insanity, I approach ed Summerfield and tremblingly iuquircd, 'To whom, sir, is this tremendous secret known V To myself alone he respond ed ; 'and now answer mc a question, is it worth the money !' " It ia entirely unnecessary to relate in detail the subsequent events connected with the transaction. I will ouly add a general statement, showing the results of my negotiation. Having fully satisfied myself that Summcrfield actually held in his hands the fate of the whole world, with its millions of human beings, and by experiment having tested the combustion of sea water, with equal facility as fresh, I next deemed it my duty to call the attention of a few of the principal men in San Francisco to the extreme importance of Summcrficled'ri discovery. "A leading banker, a bishop, a chemist, two State University professors, a physi cian, a judge and two Protestant divines were selected by mc to witness the exper imcntoa a large scale. This was done at a small sandhill lake, near the sea shore, but separated from it by a ridge of lofty mountains, distant cot more than ten miles from San Francisco. Every single drop of water in the pool was burnt up ia less than fifteen minutes. - We next did all we could to pacify Summcrfield, and endeavored to induce hiiu to lower his price and bring it within the bouuds of a reasonable possibility. Hut without avail. He began to grow urgent in his demands. Tho sub-committee soon commenced work amongst the wealthiest citizens cf Sin Francisco, and by appealing to tha terrors of a few and the sympathies of all, suc ceeded in raising one-half the amount within the prescibed rcriod. I shall never forget the woe begone faces of Cali fornia street during the month of October. The outsido world and the newspapers spoke most learnedly of a money panic a pressure in business, and the disturbances in the New York gold room, liut to the initiated there was an easier solution of the enigma. The pale specter of death looked down upon them, and pointed with his bouy Suger to the fiery tomb of the vhole race, already looming up in the distance before them. Day after day I cpuld see the dreadful ravages of this secret horror ; doubly terrible, since they dared not divulge it. Still, do all that we could, the money could not be obtain ed. The day preceding the last one given, Summcrfield was f-uramoned before the committee, and luiiy information given him of thestate of n flairs. Obdurate hard aud cruel, he still continued. Final 1 ly, a proposition was started that an at tempt should be mado to raise the other half of the nioucy in tho city of New York. To this proposition SummrcSelu ulti matcly yielded, but with extreme re luctance. It was agreed iu committee that I should accompany him tither, and, take with mc, in my own possession, evidences of the sums subscribed here ; that a proper appeal shonldbc made to the leading capitalists, scholars and clergy men of the metropolis ; and that when the. whole amount was raised, it should be paid over to Summcrfield, and a bond taken from him never to divulge his awful secret to any human being. " uith this he seemed to be satisfied and left us td prepare for his going the uext niormuir. As soon as he had left the apartment the bishop rose, and 'deprecated the ac- tion that had been taken, and characteriz ed it as childish and absurd.' He declared that no man was safe one moment whilst that 'di tbolical wretch' still lived : that the only security for us all was ia his immedi ate extirpation from tho the face of the earth and that no amount of moucy could seal his lips or close his bauds. It would i no crime, he said, to deprive him .of tho means of assassinating the whole hu man family, and that, as for himself, ho was for doomiug him to immediafo death. 'With an unamiuity that was extraordi nary tho entire committee coiucided. 44 A great many plans were proposed, discussed and rejecte.d, having in view the extermination of Summerfield. In them all there was tho want of that proper cau tion which would lull the appreheutiou of aa enemy : for should he for an instant suspect treachery we knew his nature well enough to bo satisfied the he would waive all ceremonies aad carry hia threats into immediate execution. 44 It was finally resolved that Ihe trip to New York should not be abandoned, ap parently. Hut that we were to start out iu accordanco with tho original program me ; that, during the journey, some proper meui)3 should bo resorted to by mo to car ry out tho liiril iutcutiens of tho ooiumit- tce, and that whatever I did would be sanctioned by them all, and full protec tion, both in law and conscience, afforded me in any stage of the proceedings. "Nothing wa3 wanting but my own consent. I asked the privilege of medi tation for one hour, at the hands of tho committee, before I would render a deci sion cither way. Puring that recess tho abovc argumentation occupied my thoughts. The time expired, and I again presented myself before them. I did not deem it requisite to state the grounds of my decision ; I briefly siguiGed my assent, and made instant preparations to carry the plan into execution. " Having passed on the libe of the Pa cific railway more than once, I was per feclty familiar with all of its windings, gorges and precipices. " I selected Cape Horn as tho best adap ted to the purpose, and tlio public knows the rest. . " Having been full committod by two tribunals of the law. I make this final ap peal to my fellow men throughout tho State, and ask them confidently not to re verse the judgment already pronounced." Patties Last Prayer. A beautiful little bright-eyed girl was lying upon her bed, rapidly wasting away. It was evident she would not last long, uulcss there were some sudden and unexpected change. For several days she had been apparently unconscious, aud was growing worse. She bad been a child of prayer, and her lips had been taught to breathe nightly an offering to the children's Friend. Tho rosy check had turned pale, the little form was a mere skeleton, aud her little hand had become as white as the sheet. A mother sat by her, watching the pale and silent sufferer. It seemed as though God had already come and closed her little eyelids and shutout the world, that she might sleep her last sleep, and awake refreshed in Heaven. All at once, sec opened that soft bluo eye, so long closed, looked iuto her moth er's face with a sweet, confiding look, and said : "Ma, ma, I forgot to say my prayers." Summoning what strength she had left, sho elapsed her little white fingers to gether and audibly repeated her littlo prayer : "Xow I lay me dovrn to sleep, I pray the Lord my fouI to keep ; If I should die bdbe I wake, I pray the Lord my so-,il to take." The prayer liniscd, she Devcr spoke again. Jesus heard those sweet words, aad the little sufferer went where pain and death are no more. How to Haiso Large. Hogs. Get a good stock and feed them from their birth with as much as they can eat. It will not do to starve them ia the sum mer aud then expect to make them "as fat as butter," by a few weeks' feeding iu the fall. A writer on hogs says : "The finest porkers I ever s:w were kept growing right aloug through every day of their lives till slaughtered. More is commonly lost in winter than at any other time. See that they have a dry, warm, sheltered place, plenty of good clean litter to keep them warm, a very regular supply of wholesome food (not trash), and a clean place to stay ia. With this kindcf management, such pigs as you would have next spring would astonish your slipshod, careless neighbors at your wonderful luck ;' and if corres ponding care were continued through the season, you would show such porkers as would surprise them still more." A'ie Farmer. Do Not Neglect Young Grafts. It should not be forgotten that graft?, which have been fairly set this sprii?"-, when they once fairly start to grow thoy mostly go ahead rapidly, and becoming laden with leaves, and the hold they have upon the stock being very slender, they frequently break oflC Dirds will ao light upon them and their added weight snaps them. They, therefore, should be at tend to and pruned, when they have shot' eight to ten inches, one half. Thoy usually make better brauche3 by this abscission, and in no event is thero any injury. Grafts set last spring should also bo examined, and where the wax has be come loose and fallen away or where tho split Ins widened, additional wax should be supplied, otherwise the water gaiuing entrance will cither kill or weaken them, giving them an unsightly appearance and at least stunting them for perhaps years. Sometimes they nevea recover from it. A Word to Boys, oao of the rarest Truth is virtues.
