la. Mount Sinai Been pI,ooy.r.d

The announcement which comes by
cable OF tho discovery Of the true Mount
Sinai, must be received with caution.
The question as to which Of the peaks
Of the Sinaitic peninsula formed the
mount Of God" Of the Bible narrative,
has divided travellers and ~gcognphers
for many years. At one time the south
point Of the bridge, known rs Jebel
Musa was supposed to be the mount on
which Moses received the law; then the
Jebel Serial vas assumed to be the true
Sinai, and still later, the Ras Sassafeh
was supposed to fulfll best the condi.
tons Of the Biblical narrative. The
problem has been TO find n peak isolated
enough to admit Of the space around or
in front of it, required for the great en-
campment Of Israel, and TO render II
possible that the summit should DO in
view Of the entire congregation at the
same time, and oil the points hitherto
selected have been open to objections on
this score. DIR. Beake may have sue
ceeded where so many others have failed,
but II will be well to await the data on
which he bases his belief before accept
ing II as conclusive.-N. Y. Times.

comes from the dark euddy-holss OF their

ing word was left al the police head
quarters that n dead body was found on

fcer was detailed and investigated the
matter. On the top Of the house
which 10. Of course. filed with China
mems built q small house for fab
drying purposes. Between the floor Of
that small pen and the roof Of the main
building. not more than eighteen inches
deep, were found the dismembered, rat
eaten remains Of q young Chinese wo-
nan-psrhaps not moro than fifteen
years Of age at the time Of death. The
head was torn from the body, the feet
were hanging by the tsndons. and the
place was inhabited by rats. or course
no one was aware OF any information
concerning the death. But II was gath
cred in Chinese circles that over a year
ago q woman named Lin Cum occupied
q top room Of the house, and owned o
young girl. whom she was in the habit
Of beating numerically. In 0ctobsr.

THE ELECTION.

The grand general election yesterday
passed OF smoothly and well, and all
parties interested ''stood in" msniully.
Nobody seemed disposed to create any
disturbance or interfere with the lsgit-
innate progress Of the election, but all
worked with . straightforward earnest
ness and real seldom seen on such occa-
siops. The polls Of the First Ward
bang near the News Office, the grand
sommotion and excitement was directly
In front. and knowing that We could
give no definite information, or even an
approximate opinion. Of the result at the
regular time Of going to press, no paper
VA issusd from this Office yesterday;
but the job presses were kept steadily at
work nearly all day printing such tickets
a. we're found requisite. and all hands
actively participated in the working da-
ties Of the day. Bands Of music in
wagons passed up and dsvn the crowded
main street, snlivsnisg the occasion with
their inspiring strains. The saloons
were all closed. and all the male popu-
iation Of the town seemed to be in the
street. Comparatively few persons were
seen under the influence Of liquor. and
hardly even . dispute or quarrel occurred
during the entire day. The police ar
rangsmsnts by the proper officials were
excellent, and they were materially
assisted BY the arrangements Of the
c~ontsnding parties to prevent trouble.
Everybody seemed TO consider thsm-
selves OF their good behavior. and the
occasion seemed more like q general
holiday than . closely watched and con-
tested election.
