WHAT THEY SAID To zAccaEus.

A good story Is told about the pri-
vate Secretary Of n former Governor
Of New York, badly given to stutter-
ing. Some Innocent agrlculturalist
had managed to pass some local meas
ure to the advantage Of Squashville
Centre or Little Bungtown. through
the Legislature, and the Act only
awaited the Gubernatorial signature
to become q law. Time passed, but
the Governor "made no slgn." The
rural member called upon the Secre-
tary and represented his case, called
again and yet again. On the occasion
Of his third visit, ut the conclusion OF
the interview. the Secretary remarked (:
"S-s-s-s-say, DO you know w-w-w-wha-
what was the name OF the little c-c-c-
cuss In the T-t-t-tes-testament that got
up into the PIP .paln.-tree? {" FAC

"Y-y-yes, Zaccheus, .h-th-that's the

it, "said the Secretary with every AZ
fectation of delight, "c-c-c-come down

the point OF the delicate satire and
"came down." and an hour afterward

FATAL MINING ACCIDENT At EUREKA.

From the Eureka Sentinel, June 81
At noon, yesterday, VIM. Fitzger-
aid was instantly killed In the Adams
s Farren shaft OF tho Phenix mine.
Tho circumstances Of the accident are
about As follows: The time had arriv-
ed to come to the surface for dinner.
Several men working on the first level
got on to the cage aud gave the signal
to hoist. Fitzgerald just then put in
nh appearance and attempted to step
on the cage when IL was in the act OF
starting. He missed his aim Ia some
way and fell to the bottom Of the shaft,
a distance of one hundred feet. Death
must have been instantaneous, a.
the body was severely crushed.
Deceased had lately arrived In Eureka,
and yesterday morning was the first
work ne had done In tho district. lie
leaves a brother and . small daughter
in San Francisco, Ills wife having re-
Gently died In that place. He wa
about forty years Of age. It Il a sad
case, but no u was to blame In any
manner whatever for the fatal acct
dent. A large number Of miners have
lost their lives on this coast by similar
carelessness or recklessness In attempt
Ing TO mount cages when In motion.
This Is the first accident Of the kind
that we have been called upon to chron-
icle In Eureka District and We EARL
estly hope that It may be the last.

pRussIA's NEW ARTILLERY.

German papers say that the majority
Of the European States have now
adopted the Prussian system Of breech-
loading cannon. Before tile war this
System was already In use In Russia
aud Belgium ; France adopted 1t, In
the course OF the war, and 1t ls now
about to be adopted In Austria and
Italy. England alone still adheres to
tho muzzle-loadlng system. Mean
while Germany Is occupied In making
Improvement In Its artillery, which
proved deficient In several points dur
Ing the war. The Krelner double
wedged- shaped bolt, for instance, be-
came unserviceable after the gun had
been fired a certain number of times,
and 1t IL now found that the Krupp
bolt Of 1867 Is better adapted for tho
purpose. Trials have been made with
a gun Of new construction which, 1t Is
said, las produced extraordinary re-
suits. This gun, which was construct
cd by Krupp. tres %projectilcs n dis
lance OF from 5000 to 1000 PAGES with
scarcely any deviation. This Is due
mainly to the Immense rapldlty OF
flight given to the projcctilo. The
gun IL made entirely Of cast steel, that
being tho only material capable Of re-
sisting the enormous charges OF pow
der which are used In 1t.

A iaAatpY At NEVADA trfY,

From tho Gass Valley Union Of yestefday.]
There was much said yesterday In
this place and In Nevada City about a
death which had resulted near the lat
ter place from the procurement OF an
abortion. Il seems that Mrs. Guscetti,
wife Of Louis Guscetti, died OIL Tues
day last. DR.. Buelow had been her
physician. A post mortem examlna-
ton was held because the audiences
of her death seemed to demand y.
The Coroner was notified and several
physicians made the examination.
The deceased was a wife, and living
with her husband. She was, more
over, very highly esteemed by all who
knew her. She was the mother Of six
children. The examination Of her TO
mains showed that something was
wrong.
The body was swollen. and q few
hours after death showed that a rapid
decomposition had set In. A careful
examination demonstrated that the
womb of the deceased had been pun,-
tured by an instrument-probaUly a
f.male catheter-in an effort to remove
a fGtus. The wound Of the uterus pro-
duced an Inflammation, from which
the poor woman suffered greatly, and
then died. The Coroner's jury, after
patient examination Of all the testi-
mony, as we understand, brought In q
verdict which accused DR.. Buelow OF
having used the instrument which
caused the death Of Mrs. Guscetti.
The accused physician has been prac-
ticing ut Nevada City for the last one
or two years with success, so far as
business Is coYcerncd, and his friends
now claim for him that professional
Jealousy instlgated the investigation
now pending. Fuller investigation
before the courts will show, no doubt,
where justice Is.
