A Fair Game.

1t was fondly believed. says the San
Francisco Post Of Saturday, that with
Laura D. Fairs recent abortive at
tempt to lecture In this city, the pub
lie had heard the last of her; but 1t
seems she will persist in constantly
obtruding her %unenviable name before
the public. This time the heroine Of
the "little memento" claims the pro-
lection Of the law against G.. Thistle
ton. the proprietor Of n bookstore at
No. 9 Post street. This morning
Judge Tyler, Mrs. Fairs attorney,
called upon the Prosecuting Attorney
and stated that he wanted a warrant
for the arrest Of Thistleton on a charge
or libel, which Is based OH a series Of
illustrated pictures. designed as n par
Tor game, and called "A Wolf In the
Fold" Tho series represents the
Court, the jury, the shooting Of Mr..
Crittenden on the Ell Captain, Mrs.
Fair in her cell, and Laura ID. Fair
hunting anuther victim" The central
figure Is a semi-nude woman with a
VOLTS head, representing Mrs. Fair.
The Intelligent jury are represented
with heads of bulls, pigs, donkeys and
other suggestive animals noted for OBJ
tuseness. There Is a space called the
lawyers" where, if the player gets
into, he is "stuck." Another place,
called the Court room, he gets free"
The game Is an ingenious one, and
with the notoriety which will be given
1t, 1t will sell we'll. Thistleton ia to
be arrested this afternoon.

The Great Diamond Swindle.

Last Monday, says the S. F. Alta Of
yesterday, the Grand Jury made a
partial report. They handed the Court
nine indictments, all of which except
one were published ut the time. This
one was against parties connected with
the great diamond swindle. The names
of those indicted have been kept q pro-
found secret. but 1t Is safe to say they
are beyond the limits of the State, as
Captain Lees, armed with the neces-
sary papers, left the city for the East
a day or two after, with the indict-
ment, to arrest the parties against
whom bills were found. He has net
been heard from since his departure,
but it Is safe to presume that he will
be- successful.
1t Is also said that All effort will be
made to bring back George O'Connor,
who Is now In New York an indict-
ment having been found against him
for misdemeanor. 1t Is doubtful wheth-
er lie can be arrested and returned, as
he was not, when he left here, a fugl-
tive from justice, and for other rea-
sons. Some lawyers think he cannot
be brought back. 1t Is also said that
some sharpers, who left here recently,
will try to get from O'Connor n trans
fer of his claim against the Sheriff,
who holds no vouchers for the money
paid by him, and then return and dc.
mand payment again from the Sheriff.
But they will scarcely succeed In this
dodge.

Wasatch Coal.

The Phoebe Record Of January Sd
makes mention Of a company formed
to actively develop coal discoveries in
the wasatch range, and goes on to
state as follows:
The coal beds are situated in the
Wasatch mountains, within four miles
Of kannarra, Kane county, Utah.
Veins have been opened In two or
three places, and the work Of develop
ment continues. A tunnel 6x7 feet Is
being run into the mountain, and the
valuable deposits are being extracted.
Owing to the heavy weather and the
bad condition of the roads, no coal Is
now being sent TO market but every
preparation Is being made for shipping
IL to market early ia the Spring. \
road from the mine to the valley Is
now being built, and will be compiet-
ed in time for the opening OF the
Spring trade. The coal beds are only
about 90 miles from Phoebe, and 4 road
between this point and kannarra can
be constructed at a trifling expense.
Tie Phoebe and Bullionville Railroad
and the various hosting works in the
camp which are driven by steam, will
provide 4 ready market for this coal.
1t has been used by blacksmiths In the
vicinity Of the mine, and has been
found to work admirably. Near to
the coal beds are found vast deposits
OF iron, which, with coal at hand, will
in q few years be utilized and added to
the wealth Of the world.

A Troublesome Husband.

From the San Francisco Alta, January 81
On the evening OF the 10Th Of De-
| cembcr q widow lady, about thirty
years of age, called on Sheriff Adams
and politely, but earnestly, Informed
him that she desired to have a few mo-
ments' private conversation with Will
| liam Donovan, who "a sentenced 10
be hanged on the 27th-next day. MIR.
Adams told the lady that 1t was against
the rules of the jail, that 1t was con-
trary to Donovan's request and would
not be in accordance with the wish Of
his spiritual adviser. This polite an
swer but urged the lady to renew her
appcal with more earnestness. She
APPEARED to be in deep trouble, aud
greatly concerned about Donovan's
isnarture for the land beyond the
grave. She was SO persistent IN her
Tequest, and evinced so much distress,
that Mr.. Adams, half yielding, IN
ouired what she wanted to see Dono-
van for. She answered frankly as fol-
lows: "Iama widow; my husband Is
two years dead; but he Is continually
visiting and annoying me; wherever l
90, there lie Is also; whatever l do, no
Is beside me, a grim witness Of the
transaction. l am so annoyed from
him. Well. l want to see Donovan,
who Is to die tomorrow, aud request
him to hunt up my my husband la the
spirit world, and request him, and II
necessary compel him. to keep away
from me aud mind his own business.
Do let me see this man Donovan be-
fore he dies, Mr.. Adams, and I shall
feel SO grateful to you"
Mr.. Adams declined to grant her
prayer, and decided to let Donovan
pass into the spirit land unburdened
by this lady's commission. It was as
we'll. Donovan was reprieyed and his
| sentence was committed.

SAFETY.

The house of God 10 not always by
any mean a safe place to be in, even
while engaged in the most devout
worship. On the contrary, the larger
the assemblage Of worshipers, the
greater is the danger. Only about a
year ago the roof Of the Methodist
Church at Virginia City suddenly fell
in with a terrible crash, which threw
down n whole side Of the building
also, and would doubtless have killed
or crippled the entire congregation,
had 1t not, fortunately, happened a
few hours too late, or at a time when
the church was ~unoccupied. Only last
Christmas night, however, at Will
Transport, Pennsylvania, the floor oil
the Baptist Church gave way under
the weight Of about 800 persons,
who were witnessing the interesting
ceremonies Of u Christmas festival,
precipitating them all-men, women
and children-into the cellar. The
scene Is described as fearful, and the
groans Of the wounded and dying wers
h%eartrending In the extreme. Four
teen were killed outright, or ~suffocatet
to death before they could be rescued
and forty or fifty others had broker
limbs or were otherwise injured. W.
have not related the above instance:
to Induce people to keep away frou
church, but merely to show that Di
vine Providence does not always II
terfere to prevent churches from fall
ing and killing the worshipers, through
defective architecture.
