SENATOR JoNEs.-Many of the papers
published in the Atlantic States are jubi-
liant over the report that Senator Jones
has been victimized by the New York
stock sharps. II may be true that Jones
lost money in railroad stocks as stated,
but it is ridiculous to claim that man
worth his millions, as Jones is. would be
prevented from building residence In
Washington by the loss of the paltry
sum of 100000. His dividends from
the Comstocls will more than pay back
that trihing loss in o month. As evil
dence of what Eastern papers say of
him, we take the following from the Alta

The Chicago Times Senator Booths
Eastern organ) has this story about one
of our BAT Pacific Coasters: Senator
Jones h .ssn taught lesson in New
York, an, that is. that while he may be
n very great man, he cant do everything
His restless temperament is not one that
will allow him to be satisfied with
the inactivity Of wealth already gained;
and since the first of January last he has
had in hand no end OF schemes to graf
ify his money-making love of specula-
ton. He has set up hotel in New
York, gone into the ice-making business,
and several other interesting ventures,
but none OF them fully satisfied him.
He longed to become stock Spectator
in Wall street, and he went over to New
York some weeks ago to show Jay Gould
and the boys what bonanza miner
could do. He went into Panama stock
when it was S35, got himself made Di-
rector, and went through the usual in
genious mode of initiating the stock up to
fancy price. All of this is very easy to
be done, under the circumstances that
| surrounded Jones. He had plenty OF
money, and the Jay Gould combination,
in order to more fully bleed him, aided
him indirectly in his plans. Jones sue.

to somewhere in the neighborhood oil
$40. If he had then sold out the stock
that he held he would have cleared some
S400, 900. Senator Jones. however, was
not small Spectator. Jay Gould had
not mistaken his man. Jones was ambi
tious and deslrious OF striking terror into
the hearts of Wall street by his giganti,
method of handling stock affairs. Hi

Panamint does not yield to the pres

but keeps going on its way developing
its resources and giving promise of fu-

The fools are not all dead yet, n full
crop ID now being harvested in the South.
In support Of this statement we give the
following from the Stock Report Of June
Cd:
In South Carolina, n mining excite
ment has been caused by negro, who
asserts that when he used to live in Cali
fornia, he could always tell when he
stood over a silver mine. by the pricking
of his thumbs and the knocking of his
knees. Recently, these invaluable signs
returned, and oil the negroes and good
many whites are engaged in digging mp
the soil in search of a lead. The Enter
prise thinks it would not be safe for such
niger to stand over Virginia Consoli-
dated.
If that negro should walk over the sur
face along the line OF the mineral belt in
Ely District. he would think be had been
struck with the seven.year itch, if silver
produces such effects on him.

MANS INHUMANITY.

Horrible Story OF Cruelty on Board
Steamship-A Man Literally Roasted
Alive.
A New York telegram says An out
rage, which seems to have few parallels
for its inhumanity, has occurred on one
of the Hamburg steamers. Herman
Douars, for several years a resident of
New York, went to the Office of the New
York and Hamburg Eagle Steamship
Company, and obtained free passage
to Hamburg on condition that he would
work as fireman during the trip. No
sooner was he on board of the steam
ship leasing than the paid fremen
began to maltreat him in the most
shocking manner. 1t is alleged that
Douars was knocked down with coal
shovel when senseless from blows, he
was thrown on the steam chest near
the boiler, where they allowed him to
lie nearly fifteen minutes, although it
was so hot that, according to the testi-
mony of the witnesses, no one could lay
his hand on it. Douars was thus, in
all probability, roasted alive. The bar
barians who had SO inhumanly tortured
him next tied rope around his body
and hoisted him up, his head striking
repeatedly against the iron edges of the
matches. Douars was then let down
again into the engine-room and carried
to the hospital. The surgeon of the
Leasing, DR.. Friedelmeyer, looked at
the body, bled it without effect, and
then examined it, and found the man
was dead. The captain, instead of
ordering an investigation and putting
the murderer in irons, erjoined, it is
asserted, upon everybody not to say
work about the horrible occurrence to
the passengers, and, contrary to the
rules of the ship, he had the corpse
lowered into the sea at clock on the
following morning. An official investi-
cation in regard to the affair is being
made

A Texas Duel.

Manning and Molett, rival physicians
in Giddings, Texas, quarreled, as most
rival physicians do. They agreed to
settle their difficulty with knives in a
quiet place in the woods just out of
town. There were no seconds or spec
tators, and each of the ply sicians took
along lint and bandages to dress his
wounds. Their accounts of the fight
are alike, and as follows: The
weapons were long bowie knives. They
stripped to the waist, and at the first
onslaught got such firm hold of each
other that the weapons could not be
used. After long struggle they sepa-
rated and stood warily watching for a
chance. AS they at length rushed
together Manning received slight stab
in the neck and Molett a more serious
cut across the arm. They stopped long
enough for each to dress his own wound,
and then faced for another round. With
great caution, and many feiuts and
lodges, they spent what they say
seemed like half an hour before comm
together. Finally Molett caught Man
ning's head under his arm, and, while
for an instant he was able to hold him
in that position, stabbed him deeply
twice in the breast but Manning, with
his arm free, was able at the same time
to plunge his knife into Moletts back.
These serious stabs ended the fight.
Molett was able to reach his surgical
appliances and attend to his wound.
Manning tainted, and fell insensible
and bleeding. After attending to his
own hurt, Molett says he was about to
go away and leave his adversary to
bleed to death, but his better nature
dominated, and with considerable effort
he saved Manning's life. Assistance
soon came, and they were taken to their
homes, where they will be confined a
long time by their injuries.-Ne,0 York

in fact it is seldom that wo are called on to
note such inactivity and lifelessness in grain
circles. This WAS more especially the case
during the first half of the week. although at
no time was there anything like III active
movement in any Of the markets. The general
tendency of the trade, seemed to favor tine
" bears and the tendency OF values was In
variably to lower rsnge. The receipts, al
though only fair were in daily excess Of the
shipments, and the consequence Is n steady
and rapid increase in the stock in
store this being especially the case
with wheat and corn. The adyices
received from Liverpool and New York were
not of an encouraging tenor, quoting dull,
weak markets and declining prices The local
speculative element seemed to have lost their
interest in the trade, while outside orders
were more or less restricted. Toward tho
close of the week there was considerable
improvement, and the general outlook was
more favorable to sellers and holders. The
lower prices attracted more orders 10 the
market, while "shorts" were covering more
freely at the profit offered by the decline.
The result was a reaction and tho recovery Of
portion of the decline. The receipts during
the closing days OF the week were lighter.

which he had set out in the woodshed
the evening before. He says he "felt
something kinder cold and squashy-like
about his toes, and couldn't think what
the plague had got intew his boots"
but he went out and MIXED five or six
cows. When he got back to the house
his toes kept "tickling 80 he couldn't
stand it., so he took off his boot, run in
his band, and pulled out brown snake
two feet long, that he had showed into
the toe of his boot. Joe don't put his
boots in the woodshed any more, and
sends a ferret down into them every
morning to make sure that no unwel-
come visitor has crawled in over night.
