audience yesterday. conversed freely
about the enthusiasm in New York for
the American Cardinal.

creditors of the Grant Locomotive Works.

CHICAGO, May ia Sioux City spe-
cial says that sensation paper at Yank-
ton yesterday says that Lieut.. Scott from
Fort Randall, arrived at that place yes
terday. and informed that paper that
Gordon's Sioux City and Black Hills
train has been arrested by the military,
at the crossing of White river, and
brought to Fort Randall. Lieut.. Scott
arrived here to-day and says he did not
so inform the Yankton paper or any one
else. He does not know anything o!
Gordon's train, and the whole statement
in the fankton paper, excepting the no.
tics Of his arrival, is totally false and
without the color of truth. A courier
who left Gordon's train on the 18th, says
they were making as slow time as posi-
BILE and kept moving in the anticipation
of news of the opening of the Hills by
the Government. They were informed
by the Sioux and Indian scouts that the
troops would not interfere so long as
they kept off the reservation.

NEW YORK, May 19.-In the Brooklyn
City Court this morning the Tilton-

though the number of women were
greatly decreased. Both parties to the
suit were present.
Ex-Judge Porter began summing up

they had been for five months in the SER
vice of Theodore Tillton, under the
mandates of power which they were
bound to obey. My client has, since the
beginning of this suit, dealt on princi-
pie. When they struck him on one
cheek. he turned to them the other. In
the beginning the jury might have been
struck with the general air of untruthful
ness which permeated the case, and the
counsel thought that if they had ther
been called to deliver their verdict there
could have been but little doubt wha
that verdict would have been. On the

Among the quotations of the San
Francisco Stock Board have of late ap-
peAred those Of the Maryland. and num-
bers have made inquiries in relation to
the location, etc, of the mine There
has been q new deal in Baltimore Con-
solidated and American Flat. aud the
Maryland has been carved out of the
ground formerly held by the Baltimore
Consolidated, while part of the ground
Of the American Flat has been added
thereto. The Baltimore Consolidated
has made an increase to their capital
stock of $4,000 shares. American Flat
receives, in compensation for surrend-
cred ground, dividend OF 80, 600 shares
OF Baltimore Consolidated stock, or one
share for each share of American Flat
stock. The Baltimore Consolidated re-
ceives stock dividend of the whole of
the Maryland stock ii. e., 81, 900 shares)
being one share for each share of Balti-
more Consolidated stock before the CAPT
tai stock was incre ssed Hence, it will
be seen that those who held the original
stock of the Baltimore Consolidated are
the owners Of the stock OF the Maryland.
The mine occupies the eastern 900 feet
of what was before Baltimore Console
dated ground. and adjoins the Caledonia.

On June I'd the Masonic Temple at
New York will be dedicated with very
grand and imposing ceremonies. The
N. Y. Herald says:
This will be the greatest event that has
ever occurred in the history Of Masonry
in this country, and probably on that
day the largest number Of the Order ever
seen at one time will be gathered to-
gether. Organized Masonic bodies to
take part in the demonstration have al
ready engaged rooms in advance at a
number of the hotels, which will be over
flowing with guests on that day. They
are coming from Brooklyn, Jersey City,
Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Washington. Richmond, Charles
ton, Canada, New Brunswick, Portland,
Boston, Providence, Hartford, Albany,
Utica, Rochester, Cincinnati, Detroit
and Chicago. Representatives from
San Francisco and Vancouver Island and
delegates from England and other foreign
countries will be represented. The pro-
cession, at the lowest estimate, will be
over 10000 strong.
FIRE-PRooF HoUsEs.-The Phoenix

erected to compete for a prize of
one thousand dollars offered by the
Merchants, Farmers and Mechanics j.,
Saving Fund Bank of Chicago, for the
best fire-proof building of a cost not to
exceed 81, 900. They are to be set on
fire from basement to roof, and the one
receiving the prize is to be the model of
some blocks Of houses costing from ST.
900 to 81, OC0 each, to be erected by the
bank offering the prize, on some acres of
ground purchased for the purpose in that
city.-TS. F. Call.
In the lower levels of the Comstock
mines. in many of which the thermome-
| ter stands at over 100 degrees, a con-
slant supply of ice water for the use OF
the workmen is absolutely necessary, in
Winter as we'll as in Summer, The
quantity of ice consumed in the Con-
solidated Virginia mine alone is about
one ton per day. Some of the other
companies use even more. II requires
between 5000 and 1000 tons annually to
supply the demand Of the mining com
panies.-f Virg. Chronicle.

The following particulars of a robbery
and attempted murder at Salt Wells
station, in Churchill county, are con-
tanned in letter from st. Clair, dated
May 10: Mr.. Macarthur. who keeps the
station, and his wife, had gone to Austin
on visit, and left the hotel in the care
of John Kicks and the China cook. In
a few days Kicks was called away, and
this left the Chinaman in charge of the
house. On Wednesday, the 2Sth, two
men came to the station, both heavily
armed with rifles and revolvers, and de-
manded dinner, which was given them.
They remained around the premises un-
til about 8 o'clock, and then demanded
supper and horse-feed. The cook set
supper for them, and then went to the
stable to feed the horses. They followed
him, and as he drew knife to open a
sack of barley they drew their revolvers
on him, fired, and shot him in the head.
He lay insensible for few moments,
but, after his reason returned, had
presence of mind enough to remain quiet
while they were around. The would-be
murderers felt his pulse to be sure that
he was dead, and one says to the other,
Had we best to shoot him again? p
The reply was, mo; l guess the cuss
will be dead in time They then
went to the cellar with pickax
and shovel. and commenced digging
a grave for their victim. One of them
then came back to the house and rifled
all the trunks and drawers, and even
emptied several sacks of flour to find
their booty. They succeeded in finding
a good watch and some $50 in money.
BY this time the Chinaman had recov-
cred sufficiently to escape and give the
alarm, which he did. A party was at
once organized and started in pursuit OF
the robbers, whose trail they struck and
followed for fifty miles, when heavy
rain-storm set in and obliterated theil
tracks, rendering further search futile
They spent four days in the mountains
and in one of the defiles they found the
skeleton of q man, who had seeming,
been dead a few months. The flesh hat

RATS IN THE MINEs.-It is fact not
generally known that the galleries and
drifts of most Of the Comstock silver
mines are tenanted by thousands of
rats, which the miners will not attempt
to kill under any circumstances. The
Belcher mine absolutely swarms with
rats, who hold high carnival in the de-
serted drifts and among the decayed
timbers. They live on the refuse of
the miners lunches Where several
hundred mon are employed and eat their
dinners from their lunch buckets, which
they carry down into the levels with
them. the pieces of meat, bread and
other articles thrown away would soon
become offensive were they not removed
or destroyed. Here the rat steps in, and
like the vulture which walks about the
streets of tropical city unframed and
feeds on carrion. he soon removes all
traces of the feast, even the bones being
picked clean. For this reason the min
ers do not modest the rats, and they
have free license to run up and down the
shafts, scale the timbers and hold oourt
in the very center of the big bonanza.

JIyCOLN's BAKER STORY.

Colonel Baker, who was killed at Bull s
Bluff during the late rebellion, was well
known in Springfield, Illinois. and 1t was
of him Mr.. Lincoln used to tell the follow
ing story:
Colonel Baker was very courteous to
ladies, always treating them with grea'
politeness and attention. He was starting
on a Journey at one time, when lady was
placed in his care by an acquaihta'ioo
Now the colonel knew nothing whalesei
of this lady, but she proved to De q PI hor
ant travelling companion. and ne nlaoe nei
as comfortable as possible in the olo s.aSe,,
coach. On the next morning they stopped
for breakfast in GaIena. and while that
meal was being prepared they were shown
;nto a warrior on the second floor. Here
the LADY seated herself by an open window
lool;nS ont Oh the street. while the col
onel paced the floor, with his hands folded
behind him, as was his custom, 1or ne
ALWAYS seemed as restless as Gagged bear
when confined in a room. Other passen-
gers were in the parlor, and they were
speaking of some late defaulter. some
blaming him, others saying he had done
what he could to save his creditors. AT
last one of the gentlemen appealed to COZ.
Baker, asking what ne thought OF the de-
faulter.
"rhink OF him." exclaimed the colonel.
"Why, that he should be hung without
mercy. He is scoundrel."
At this the lady left her seat, and. stand
ing in front of the colonel with flashing
eyes, said, Colonel Baker. perhaps it may
interest you to know that the gentleman
you so readily condemn is my uncle y
The colonel ceased his walk, and giving
one appealing look to his fair friend, ne
began to draw off his coat, and approach

PHYSICIANS CORNERED,

suppose there Is not in the whole of physicians
experience anything in human suffering which calls
forth his sympathy and pity to such an extent as to
suffering from that fearful disease Rheumatism.
Heretofore there has been considerable diversity of
opinion among medical men. as to the true charac
ter Of this disease some locating it in the fbrous or
muscular tissues of the system and others viewing
it as an acute nervous disease but 1t now gener-
ally admitted to be q disease arising from poison
circulating in the blood, and further it's admitted
that rheumatism can never be thoroughly cured
without exterminating such poisonous matters from
the blood by constitutional inter nal remedy. We
feel confident that will feel better satisfied and
rejoice more than the conscientious physician who
has found out that trde cure for this stubborn
disease has been discovered. The following testi-
mony from Portland gentleman cannot fail to sat
isfy all that the
