RUBENs1E1N' DEATH. - The sudden
death of Rubenstein in his cell is
an event that can scarcely fail to
excite many and various suspicious, and
yet it can be sufficiently accounted for
without reference to other than strictly
natural causes. Dramatic fancies are
popular, and it is SO much in the style Of
romances that catch the general applause
to assume that a condemned murderer
who suddenly dies has by some deep
ruse "cheated the gallows," that many
will resolutely persist in that opinion.
But it is more rational to believe that q
step of that sort, if taken, would only be
taken when all hope from the courts was
gone. Rubenstein had we'll nigh starved
himself to death by fasting, and did not
know, perhaps, how far he had gone
with this, for an excited mind sustained
him and his weakness was not felt. But
a day of exhaustion came, the mind that
had alone sustained him broke down,
and collapse resulted. This seems the
just explanation of his death.-[N. 7.

Don't Pardon Him. "

Under the above heading the White
Pine News of last Saturday has the fol.
lowing;
A petition has been circulated in
Hamilton during the week for the par
don of Alexander Cohen. who, little
less than three years ago was charged
with setting the town of Hamilton on
fire, and who was indicted By a grand
Jury, tried and convicted by the District
Court, and sentenced to seven and a
half years in tine State Prison. And
now few friends Of this wretch ask that
he may be pardoned out of prison, be-
fore he has served on. half of the SEN
tence allotted to him as a punishment for
the dastardlv act he committed. Do the
friends of this criminal imagine that our
citizens have so soon forgotten the great
injury inflicted upon them by this man?
We think not. It was he who caused
the best portion of Hamilton, including
all but two business houses, to be a mass
of smolderipg ruins. and the loss to this
community YVES computed to be not less
than $500, 900, which estimate did not
include large amount of valuable per-
sonal property, and there are persons in
Hamilton to-day who are still laboring
to retrieve losses caused by the hand of
this man Coin. 1t WAS he who caused
the blight upon the prosperity of this
town, from which it has never fully re-
covered; it was he who was the first
cause of the death Of Logan Birch, re-
spectacle coIored man, and numerous
other casualties AMI accidents that Oc-
Cured at the time Of the coniagration,
all of which this incendiary tiend Cohn
was the cause of. The friends OF Cohn
need not ask this community for the
benefit OF one days pardon. for they will
not receive it. We understand that the
petition was signed by some half dozen
persons. Had the petition stated hat
its purpose was to hang Cohn, a very
large majority of our people would have
signed it most willingly. Probably there
is not another community on the Pacific
coast that would have allowed Cohn to
90 to prison; knowing all the facts in the
case they would have hung him imme-
diately. His intention 70 burn the town
was premeditated, and his motive for
tho act was to gain few
thousand dollars of insurance money,
which he never succeeded in getting.
The petitions being sent to the Board of
Pardons will not amount to much, as it
is familiar with all the facts in the case,
and would have but little weight with
the board. However, in the event that
Cohn should be pardoned. or should
chance to make his escape from prison.
We would advise him beforehand that this |
would be tho most short-lived climate |
hat he could possibly live in. and that |
1e had better choose some more con-
,enial residence.

A GroIs Misstatement.

The Silver City Reporter Of Monday
came out with a sensational article sew
eral columns in length. with staring
caption headings declaring that some
thing wrong had tran.pired in the Car.
son Mint; that two Of its employees had
arrived in Silver City when the present
editor of the Reporter was employed on
the Lyon County Times; that they en-
tered the Times Office and inquired for
Frank Kenyon, who was not in. when
they went out in search Of him, leaving
behind sack containing bullion, which
he ,eok out and had deposited in safe,
etc. He states that he reported this fact
to the Superintendent of the Mint. who
had neglected to have the matter inves-
tigated. The truth of the matter is this:
Several months ago some base bullion
was sent to the Mint which the authori-
ties could not receive because its stand
ard was below that prescribed by law for
United States MINIS to treat; and Frank
Kenyon hearing of this. wanted 70 Sc
cure II loE MT I1AITis, Tue SliNeE Sty
assayer, for separation. Mr.. Kenyon
WAS actuated in This matter solely by a
desire to keep an assay Office fully EN-
p'oye1 at Silver City. The bullion in
question was more than fifty per cent.
base, which fact made i, on: of the ques-
ton for our Min. tc handle. So the
bullion went to Silver City and, owing to
the absence of Mr.. Harris, vas taken
thence to the Selby Reduction Works |
in San Flaucisco. where it WAS re-
fined, we suppose. So that is all there !
is of this long story of the Reporter. |
The allegations against our Mint Super
intendent and United States District
Attorney are equally unfounded with the
Statement. that Mint bullion had been
taken to Silver City. The Grand Jury
are at presen. considering this matter,
We believe. tIr. Norton had been invited
some time since TO come here and state
III he knew of this transaction before
he Grand Jary, and, failing to do so, he
las been summoned to appear when the
urors are again in session here. The
Reporter made great effort to create
ensation. 1t failed for wan. of facts
or a foundation.

ARULE THAT Don't Work Both WAYS.
The Reno Journal of yesterday cor
tains the following:
The Reno Lumber Co, had occasion
the other day to pay the Central Pacific
Railroad a $500 freight bill. Payment
was rendered with $492.50 in gold and
$3.50 in trade dollars and halves. The
railroad refused TO receive the silver, and
the Lumber Co. had to get it exchanged
into gold. On the other hand the Lum-
Der Co. had bill against the c. P. of
sos. The bill had to be sent to Sacra-
mento, and the amount called for was
returned all in sHrer, and the Lumber Co.
was charged with the expressage. Com
ment is unnecessary.

RED HoT.-In one of the sulphur
mines near Steamboat Springs, says the
Gold Hill News. a number of Cinnamon
are employed. The mine is situated at
the foot Of a hill, about q mile from
Steamboat. Two perpendicular cuts are
made into the hill SO that they converge
at given point. These are made for
ventilation and are kept open to permit
the heat to escape At the end of these
cuts they have face twenty feet high.
The sulphur begins within seven feet of
the top aud continues in rich layers all
the way down. intermingled with sand
and other formations. At this point the
heat is very great. The other day while
one of these Cinnamon struck his pick
through into O fissure. when column Of
blue flame shot up to the distance of 30
feet, filling the atmosphere with most
villainous stencil and made it SO terribly
hot that the Mongolians were unable to
endure it. Dropping his pick the Moon
eve who had raised this miniature bell
rushed from the place followed by his
frightened companions. It was some
time before they could be induced to re-.
sumo their work. Mr.. Rapp, of Steam
boat Hotel, says it was worth good deal
to see those copper skins getting out OF
that cut.
BoCA BEER. Gibson g. Dealy have
obtained the agency here for the sale of
Boca beer. A very large amount of
CAPITAL has been invested by the manu-
of this beverage who have
erected heavy works at Boca. Perhaps |
this beer will be pronounced the best
ever manufactured on the Pacific coast.
It is remarkably fine any way.

| A SNowsToRM-Afterf four days OF con
slant cold winds, the usual precursors
of storm, the snow commenced falling
rapidly here about p. II. yesterday and
continued without interruption for fully
three hours. when the clouds cleared
away and the sun passed behind the
mountain shining brightly. A little
snow fall is not an uncommon thing for
May; but we have had colder weather
for the last four days than is usual for
the middle of May.
AN OLD STAGER.-Buck Zabriskie' S
father, DR.. J. c. Zabriskie of Silver City,
received his diploma as practitioner of
medicine and surgery ifty-thres years
ago yesterday. And still the old doctor
is IN the enjoyment of excellent health
and spirits. and as able and willing to
practice his profession now as at any
time dnring the last half-centu,y.
COLDER YET.-Friend' 8 thermometer
stood at 32-the freezing point yes:er-
day afternoon a: 2 O'Clock. With the
snow still lying in out-of-the-way places,
the weather grew colder as the night
wore on. We are afraid that some dam
age will be done to the fruit crop of
Carson by this snow and succeeding
freeze.
The State Treasurer informs Us that
he has on hand a sufficient amount of
silver with which to redeem warrants for

cannot part with it at discount.
