A Lad of Sixteen Saves Two Boys from

Drowning.
The Anne Arundel (Md.) Advertiser SAYS
An incident showing great presence OF mind in
mere boy occurred in our community short
time since, and must not pass unrecorded The
hero of the incident was Daniel Writ, student
from Virginia at st. Johns College, about six
teen years of age, ard the locality the College
creek Young Writ had gone down alone to the
creek to take a bath during recess, aad soon
afterwards two boys-the one a son and the
other nephew of Professor Dashiell, aged e
specttully ten and fourteen years-came down
and entered the water some fifty yards below
him. Alter while Writ missed the boys, and
suspecting that something was wrong, ran down
the shore to their clothes he then saw the hair
of one of them float upon the surface for a mo-
ment and disappear. He Immediately swan
out to the spot and diVed. He found them
near together, lying on the bottom, not
altogether unconscious, for they clutched
him as he approached them. He disengaged
himself, however, and grasplng each of them by
a leg, lifted them to the surface. The water
was there fortunately only eight or ten feet in
depth, and holding the boys in this way above
his head and partly out of the water Writ
managed, with their added weight, to walk upon
the bottom some ten or fifteen yards, and until
he got within his own depth-coming to the
surface at intervals to breathe. After good
deal OF coughing and spluttering the boys found
themselves able to thank their deliverer and to
resume their clothes. 1t seemed that young
Dashiell, who could not swim, had accidentally
overstePped his depth, and his cousin, in at
tempting to assist him, had been dragged down
with him. Their struggles had carried them
still further out, and they say they had gone
down three or four times before the rescue
came. Writ simply said he thought if he at
tempted to save them one at time the last
would probably have been dead before he could
have been brought to the shore.

A DETERMINED SUICIDE.
Two Unsuccessful and One Successful
AttemDt.

Attempt.
From the Peoria, III, Transcript June 20.
Yesterday morning a man named j. Henry
LutZ committed suicide under circumstances
that exhibit the most determined intention to
get rid of life. He left his home, on South
Adams street. at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening.
His wife expected him to return soon after
wards, but upon his falling to return at the time
designated, the fears of his friends were excited.
He was seen on Water street at half-past yes
terday morning, and an hour later was dis
covered in stable near the Central City
Elevator, hanging by the neck, still warm, but
quite dead.
Upon examination it seems that the unfortu-
nate man had exercised the utmost determine.
tion in taking his life, first cutting his throat,
then attempting to drown himself, and finally
hanging himself. severe cash had been cut
in his throat, bat was not large enough to cause
death, though it bled freely. This failing to
produce death, it is supposed that he next ran
into the river, with the attempt to drown him
self; but falling again, he had procured q rope,
and finally succeeded in accomplishing the
deed.
There is but little doubt that Lutz was insane.
He had been hard drinker and had suffered
considerably in mind from heavy pecuuiary
losses. He has been for the last few wears sub
ject to fits of insanity, in which he would
wander away from his home and would give
came homelwith heavy cash cut in his head,
merely said that he believed that he had
received it in an attack made upon him by some
person. His friends were considering the ques-
tion of sending him to the asylum at jackson
vile, when the terrible occurrence of yesterday
made it unnecessary.

A Lady Murdered and Her House Robbed
"A Husbands Vengeance.
The Richmond Whiq of Tuesday contains an
account of brutal murder committed across
the border, in Wilkes county, North Carolina,
a few days since, and the circumstances of
which are not little remarkable. The account
is as follows:-
1t appears that a gentleman, residing in that
county, few days previous TO the murder, sold to a
neighbor tract OF land, for which he received $1,000
ia cash. Business calling him away from home
coon after he left the money with his Wife, and on
returning he stopped over night with friend living
some ten or twelve miles distant from his home In
the night he dreamed that some men had entered
his house, murdered his wife and two children,
stolen his money and destroyed his property. Know
ing that he had left the money with his wife he be-
came uneasy sand restless after his dream and re-
quested a peddler who was stopping at the house
with him TO accompany him at once to bis home, for
he feared there was reality in the dream. On ar
irving at his home to his horror he found his wife
murdered and two men sitting at q table counting
out the money he had left with his wife. He and
the peddler being armed Immediately fired upon
the men and killed them, who turned out To be the
man to whom be had sold the land, and from whom
he had received the $1,000, and his son. This is
OF the most atrocious murders upon record, and
shows what foul deeds money Will lead men TO com
nit.

A MOUNTAIN OF SILVER.
Mineral Wealth in COlorado-Disco
of Immense Deposits Interesting and
Amusing Incidents.

Mineral Wealth Ina COlorado-Discove
of Immense Deposits Interesting and
Amusing Incidents.
A correspondent of the Denver Netos SAYS
that the mountain village of Georgetown is still
wild with excitement over the discovery.
Leavenworth Mountain is within a mile and
half OF the Placer diggings. On its sides silver
was discovered by the Ingraham brothers. two
expert miners, some time in December last.
They were in the employ of the Equator Com
pany, and were drifting when they came across
large quantities of mineral imbedded in the
''slides, both above and below the main vein.
After concluding their work for the Equator,
they went quietly to work for themselves, and
in the course of three weeks had taken out from
$1,000 to $500 worth. One solid chunk weighed
seven hundred and sixty-sx pounds and from
it they realized over $500.
The work, however, could not long remain a
secret, and the "Siver Patch Dlggings" became
the rage. The excitement spread, aud soon
Leavenworth Mountain was scene of busy ac-
tivity seldom witnessed. At a distance the
mountain Tesembled mammoth ant-hill, so
thickly was it beset with amateur and profess
sional miners. The scene was an amusing and
interesting one.
Many would "pitch ill.," dig hole large
enough to contain large cat and falling to
"strike it," would wend their way down the
mountain. Those ''having the sand," bent
themselves on their work, and never failed in
being we'll rewarded
1--WE struck it," was the prevailing express
sion, and when an unusually large piece was
taken out, there was a rush to examine it, and
congratulate the lucky finder. The largest solid
piece that has yet been found turned the scales
| at four hundred and thirty-two pounds. We
saw several pieces of pure mineral, averaging
| from two hundred to three hundred pounds
each, which, when assayed, gave return of
from 1900 to 2000 ounces per ton.
There are three theories as to how this nine
raj became so scattered through the mountain
! slide, but nothing satisfactory has been given,
1t would be difficult to ascertain the exact
amount which has been taken cut, but it is very
| large, and the mountain is still alive with
miners, who are daily bringing down large guam
| titles Of ore.
During the search for the 'loat, some three
vaable lodes have been struck. One company
consisting of Messrs. Robinson, Scott Wycoff
and Sergeant all old miners, have taken oul
two tons of first class float ore during the last
three weeks, and during their operations they
discovered very valuable lode, having q ere
vice over eight feet in width. The ore they hav,
taken out will run about 1900 ounces per ton
Messrs. George OConnor and John Mcdonald
also struck avery fine lode Immediately abov,
the Equator, and are preparing to work it during
| the summer.

Georgetown College Commencement.
WAsHINGToN, June 30.-At the fifty fourth
annual commencement of Georgetown College
yesterday, General Sherman, in the course of
short address, said the attempt to divide the
Union in our generation failed, and it would
always fail, and he would as soon expect to see
an attempt to dissolve this Union in the future
come from the North as from the South. BUTT
will never come, for now we are joined together
stronger than by bands of steel.
Affairs In the COrea.
1t is said in official circles that Minister Low
is with Admiral Rodgers in the Corea. This is in
accordance with instructions, as the design of
the expedition was to open the way for treaty
with the sovereign of that country, shipwrecked
Americans on that coast being subjected to
extremely cruel treatment. Although it is not
known whether this Government anticipated
hostilites, it seems certain that the conduct of
Admiral Rodgers is, under the circumstances,
approved.

Friday, June 80. lsTi.
There is fair degree of activity in the loan
market to-day, and the gradual closing up of the
gap between the supply and demand enables
lenders to maintain rates at the recent advance.
But after the first of July, when large amounts
of currency are paid out in dividends and inte-
rests, it is generally anticipated that the market
will recover its former ease. Call loans are quiet
at 5@6 per cent, and good business paper
ranges from 6@7 per cent, at which figures it
is in demand both at the banks and on the
street.
Gold is quiet and steady at a range of 1890
113, closing at the latter.
government bonds are quiet and steady, but
hardly so strong.
