Ell ahe Great silver Mines.
VIRGINIA CRY, New, May 3d.
The yield of the Consolidated Vir-
GINA Mine, in March last, was
$3.634, 298.29. These figures are
official, as 1 got them from Mr.
Taylor, principal book-keeper.
Since this mine commenced paying
dividends i3s stockholders have re-
ceived $2O,OOO,OOO in round num-
bers. The California mine, the
paid its first monthly dividend on
the 18th instant, $1,O85,0 900, or 50
per share for each of it's $40 shares.
These two mines pay monthly div
idends of S2,160,O00. Beginning
in July, the California mine is ex-
peeted to pay q monthly dividend
of So per share, or 81 ,620,0 600 month
ly. The present price per share of
these stocks is respectively: Cali
fornis, $50; Consolidated Virginia,
STA. Like all mining stocks they
are subject to startling fluctuations.
The knowing ones, however, do
not look for any material changes
in the prices of these stocks this
summer. It is not altogether q
speculation with regard to these
mines. What ore they contain is
pretty closely ascertained. At
present there is enough first-clsss
ore therein to keep the mines 60
| ing for at least three years.
Col. Fair, superintendent, is now
erecting new 80-stamp mill, in
addition to the numerous mills al
ready possessed by himself and part
ners. When this is finished, you'll
hear of some unparalleled results
from the Bonanza mines. Fair ex-
poets to turn out So, 000, 600 month.
He can do it. 1t is only q question
Of milling facilities. There is no
lack of ore.
In view Of the stupendous wealth
of these mines, the question often
occurs to me, what will be the
eventful limit of the wealth of the
four gentlemen popularity known
a. the "Bonanza Kings" People
who have watched their fortunes
with critical eyes aver that they
are now worth in money and prop
erty upward Of 500, 100000. It is
. common remark here that Mac
kay has an income of $500, 600, gold

The Rmporia NEWS has done more

And just as he lifted his last
foot from the ground the trap
opened and the gaunt arm reach
ed out and fell upon him with that
knob four times, and every time it
reached him Lorenzo shrieked:
bleeding heart! Oh, mercy,
mercy, Mr.. Man! Oh, murder"
And as he scrambled away in
the starlight, wailing for arnica,
Azalea fed wildly to her home
shrieking, och, pa, pa! Somebody
is numbering Lorenzo" And on
the porch a pale-faced man thrust
the rim of his felt hat into his
mouth to reinforce his handker-
chief, and Rugged himself in plac-
id content. Pretty soon the mans
fifth daughter came home from a
party, and, she, too, perched on the
gate. In q moment or two Al
phonso said:
"But my own Miriam, would I
could tell you what I feel--"
But he didn't, for just as he
leaned upon the gate the gaunt
arm reached out and felt him
with about seventy-five pounds of
iron, and knocked his breath so
far out of him that he couldn't
shrek until he had run half q mile
from the house. And Miriam ran
into the house screaming that Al
phonso had a fit. And the pale
faced man rose up out of the shad-
ow and emptied his mouth, and as
he stood under the quiet starlight
looking at the gate, whose power
full but delicate mechanism repell-
ed an ounce of weight over 40
pounds, look of inefable peace
stole over the pale face, and the
smile that rested on the quiet fea-
lures told that the struggle of a
lifetime was ended in victory, and
gate had been discovered that
could set at naught the opprsesi-
ons Of thoughtless young people.

PREVENTION.
A suecsilful Ertsrpriss.

Mr. A. S. Solomons, chairman of the executive
committee Of the night lodging. house, has made
report to the honorable Commissioners OF the
District, showing the following gratifying result
fer the month of March: Number Of dodgers the
first week, 143; second week. 179; third week, l67;
fourth week, 277; making total for the month OF
7e6. There were some women and children among
these, and twelve blacks, the rest being nearly
all unmarried men, mostly mechanics, many OF
whom have walked hundreds OF miles 10 search
Of work, while there are quite q number who
have come to Washington to have their pension
papers made perfect IN order to enable them TO
Draw what they are entitled TO under the law,
and who are without a cent to pay for a meals
victuals or a nights lodging. Many Of these are
admitted upon q written recommendation from
the Deputy Commissioner Of Pensions. Several
employers have left orders to the house for hands
and quite q number have got work TO do through
their kind instrumentality. The board have
adopted stringent regulations which most etfec-
tually shut out unworthy applicants. They con-
ttnue TO give the dodgers hearty supper and
strength to seek the work they are so earnestly
endeavoring to obtain. In very many cases they
are successful, and without these poor fellows
were sustained In this benevolent manner there
is no knowing what crime and misery would be
the result. Here is, indeed, q practical iIustra-
tion Of the value Of the we'll known ounce of
preventive" which is worth unknown tons OF
cure. We want Just such benevolent influences
TO prevent wrongdoing, and there will be less
occasion for stringent laws for the infiction Of

CHILD MURDER.
AWoman browns hsr Infant In q Saver.

AWomen UroWns ner tn1ant In saver.
About o'clock last night a colored woman
named Susan Bowman murdered her own child,
an infant about i've months old, by throwing it
into sewer. The woman Susan and her hus-
band, Frank Bowman, live with other colored
people in house on Sampson street, between
Fourteenth ard Fifteenth.
About 10 o'clock last night the man Frank
came up to Officer Marshall, who was patrollIng
his beat in the nsighborhood, and asked him to
help him (Bowman) to find his child. The officer
went with the man to his house, where the woman
was. When they entered they asked Susan
where the child was, and she replied, 81 threw it
down the sewer" This disclosure was dIscred-
tied at first, but the woman persisted In her
story, and fnally agreed TO conduct Oficer Mar
shall and Officer Perry, who had Joined the party,
to the spot where she had parted with the child.
woman took the officers to the corner OF Fifteenth
and II streets. She went 10 tho wrong side Of the
street hrst, apparently forgetting where the spot
the corner. The woman explained how she had
liited the trap up and thrown the baby into the
and found the child lying in the trap in water
which was quite deep. The child was dressed as
1t had been during the day, in q brown wrapper,
Susan and her husband, Frank, were secured and
over which an inquest will be held to-day.
By the statements Of Bowman, although he
contradicted himself in some Instances he went
home about o'clock, ana found the light burned
down low and the child missing. He could get no
satisfaction from the woman, and Immediately
went in search Of an oficr.
The woman is very black and ignorant, and is
about thirty three years Of age. The name Of
the infant, which Is Q girl, she said 10 Nellie
She admitted that she had thrown the child In
the sewer, but sppeared insane after her arrest.
When questioned her answers were very tnco-
herept, and she passed from the subject Of the
childs death to q description Of the manner In
which her husband had maltreated her st some
time. When asked the reason for committing
the unnatural crime she said that the child had
ladder" all over It, which made It very painful
to touch It. The ladder" spread over the child's
back and head. The body Of the infant showed
q number Of sores on It's back and head. The
neighbors OF the woman say that they never be.
fore knew her to act at all strangely.

FRAUDS on TIE RRvEEUE.
Tronble Among The Civ rob,ocoui,

Trouble Among the City Tobacconists.
Mr.. Thos. L. Tullock. collector Of internal rev.
enue for this District has for some time past en-
tertained suspicious that the tax on manufactured
tobacco was not collected in full, or, in other
words, that some dealers In this community were
evading the payment Of the Just tribute to the
Government that the law required and demand
ed. The agents had made suficient iuvestiga-
tion to satisfy themselves that the quantity of
leaf tobacco reported ss used by the manufac-
turers in this District was far short, in proper
tion 70 that consumed, either In smoking, chew
ing or sHuttng, and the variance represented
manufactured tobacco that had never received
the notice or attention Of Government inspector.
This sort Of business has been brought to Q sud
den and summary exposure by the arrest of MIR.
Alfred Behrends, q cigsr-maker, who does busl-
ness at No. 723 Seventh street northwest The
subordinates in the collectors once furnished the
information and Bailif Gray served the warrant
for Marshal Sharp. The charge against the ac-
cused is that in purchasing tobacco in the leaf
he has fsied to make returns for some consign.
ments from Baltimore, and for which he has
made no account. Collector Tullock says that
prof ecutions Will be commenced against several
other tobacco manufacturers in this District, who
It is alleged, have been evading the law for Ave
or six more by not reporting on their books
the leaf tobacco received, aud II is understood
that the authorities will take prompt measures
against all who are supposed to be In any degree
liable TO the penalty Of the law,

LIFE INSURANCE.
The Connecticut NutusI.

The Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany Of Hartford, as single enterprise, is one OF
exceptional interest andimportance. Its pleas
ure TO refer especially to the company which was
the earliest in the field on permanent establish
ment, and whose life best illustrates, not only
the history Of the business but its benefcence as
we'll. We publish this morning the thirtieth an.
nual statement Of this company, to which atten-
ton is directed. 1t would be q profitable Subject
By each its deeades O sroWb and
compare the different eras Of its development,
but the figures in detail are not readily &C hand.
nual report shows in assets nearly a million
and half Of dollars for every year since It
was started, on purely mutual plan, is q
magnitude Of things as they appear In many
cases on the threshold Of this eyentful year. The
assets have now reached about forty.three mil.
lions and a half, and in the last year have in.
creased over three millions This important In
crease has substantial value In corresponding
growth Of the net surplus Of tie company above
three hundred thousand dollars during the past
year. and is 81 423l. $50 %; that is to say, the
company has sufficient amount Of assets to
cover the LIABILITY Of a reserve, computed a: four
per cent, reinsure all its policies In solvent
companies, and also meet every other oblig alton,
and still have a balance Of over four millions!
This is q supreme test of solvency, and one
which assurers should always carefully bear In
mind. A comparison OF the present statement
with with that Of last year shows a smother commend;
ratio OF expenses TO receipts from 90 to 755 The
entire statement is one that the company officers
may feel q Just prido in submitting. The sehed-
ule Of assets shows In brief the character of tho
Investments; and It will be noted, as an evidence
Of careful business management, thatthe amount
of premiums not IN the absolute possession Of
the home ofice-ss there is always more or less
IN progress Of collection-ts commercially small.
The history Of this company is an unbroken
period Of good management, and its dispensetious

quately estimated, by the disclosure Of the fac:
that policy holders have been paid in one form

Poroua Plastera.

Porous plasters have been much improved re.
Gently in BESsoN's OAPcINE PLASTER, by Q
new method Of treating the rubber so that It
contains moro electricity than formerly, one Of
the qualities for which q porous plaster has been
especially valued, and by the addition Of Gap
cine, which causes the plaster to act immed,-
ately and makes It the most reliable remedy
known for colds. rheumatism, lameness Of the
back and muscles, kidney complaint, or any OF
the diseases for which q porous plaster or lini-
ment has been used. The manufacturers are
pleased to learn that there is Q large class of
conscientious druggists who, having become con-
ylnced ef the great merit Of BRNsoN's OAPCINK
PLASTER, recommend It in preference to all
others. Of such are E. Drehn, Newark, ". J.;
Ohas. Althan and NJ. NJ. Cook, Brooklyn, N. Y:
Thompson, Lilly Co., Baltimore, Nd; Robert
Brooklyn, says "he recommends no other;''
Gulck & Berry, Terre Hsute, Ind, say 'they
are convinced from results from sales there that
they are much superior to ordinary porous
plasters;" Cole & Flynn, DanvIlle, Va, say
"they have given satisfaction in every case;n W:
T. Weber, Springfield, Mass, says, "They con-
stttute an advertising medium in themselves"
Thus speak many others. The manufacturers
also regret to hear that in some instances drug
gists, acting from pecuniary motives, as not so
large profit ls made on them as on ordinary
suade their customers to Substitute some other
article In place of BEHsoN's CAPCINK PLASTER.
When you ask for BENsoN's CAPCISE PLASTER
be sure you get nothing else. Price, Is cents.
