A cor. Of the Union speaks as follows
about the new town Of Almota which is
situated IS miles below Lewiston, on
Snake river, and ii miles above the
Pen-awa-wa ferry: 1t is the most ac-
cessable point to both sides of the river,
and is also the most northern point on
Snake river, which makes it the most
accessible point to the Palouse coun-
try. There will soon be three good
roads running into Almota, one from
the north, north east, and from the east,
which lead into the heart Of the farm.
ing district Of the palouse country.
There have been over 700 tons of pro-
duce shipped from here this season, be-
sides some 200 tons of up freight also
large number of passengers. There
ar, four different houses selling farming
implements here Hawley, Dodd & Co.,
Paine Bro. & Moore seems to be doing
THE principal business. A good mcr-
camille house would do a good business,
and is much needed here. The propri-
etor Of Almota offers liberal Inducements
to any firm who will start good bust
ness there. There is ferry; going in
there, and when in running order the
public will be greatly accommodated,
for it will enable them to pass through
large farming district which has here
tofore been overlooked, lying between
the head of the Pataha and Snake river.
and embracing the head Of Deadman and
Meadow gulches. Their is splendid
mill site at this place, and If properly
improved would not only be good pay
Ing investment for the parties owning
it, but would be great benefit to the
surrounding country. The storage ca
pacity at Almota Will be largely increas-
ed, and no pains will be spared to build
and improve all the roads leading into
the place. Messrs, Paine Bros & Moore
have purchased one-half interest in
the landing and storage business.
That's the way to build up town.
Have as many and good roads leading
to and from it as practicable, and. make
its accommodations ample and con-
venient Tor those who desire to d. bu,i-
ness there.

A Foul DEED.--Thc Mountain
Sentinol of the 9th is responsible for
the following;
We learn from a reliable source, and
one which we cannot doubt, circum-
stances which tend to show that revol-
ting tragedy has been committed. On
the ultimo the almost nude body Of
a dead man was discovered upon t''c
Blue Mountains. The body was lash,
ed to tree, his hands tied behind him,
his throat cut from ear-to ear, both cars
cut off and pinned to the tree above his
head. The body bore marks upon it,
as it had been whipped with cato
nine tails, and was far advanced in a
state of putrefaction. Close beside were
prints of shod horse. Pinned to the
tree was piece of paper on which some
thing had been written. but the writing
was so obliterated that no information
could be gained from it. These were all
the evidences that could be found.
Nothing, whatever, could be found to
identify who he was. Everything con-
nected goes to show that dire revenge
has been taken, and most horrible
butchery committed. We may be able
to give more definite information in our
next.

Edison, AS well as the name Of Edwards,
under which alias Edison declared that
he travelled. The Wilkesbarre telegraph
operator, also, showed the original of
the telegram sent to Edison by "R. {
Hill" and the receipt of the one sent
by Edsnn in reply, the signature being
in each case identical with that on the
hotel register. Edison also stated that
Scott and Dunlap, after the robbery,
drove from New York to Springfield in
a double team, to secure the plunder,
and that Conuers, hearing of the vigi-
lance. of the bank officers, went on to
wara them against attempting its re-
moval, but that they saw the account of
the vigilance in Northampton in a
Springfield paper, and returned to New
York before COnners reached them.
The Clerk of the Rockingham House, an
obscure Springfield hotel, confirms this
by stating that on the day designated by
Edison, Scott and Dunlap, whom he
afterwards positively identified, came to
that hosiery in Il double team, but soon
went away again, and that, after their
departure, a man answering to Corners s
description called for them, but found
that they had left for New York.
Edson's testimony in regard to the
keys and combinations is also strikingly
confirmed by the fact that the burglars
visited no others of the bank officers
save Mr.. Whittlesey, thus showing that
in some way they were aware OF the
fact that he was the sole pOssessOr of
the secrets of the bank. SO, too, in one
piece of mistaken information which Ed
son gave to the burglars. He became
possessed of the idea that the key to the
outside door of the bank was large
one, and so informed Dunlap and Scott,
who, when Mr.. Whittlesey gave them a
small key as fitting this door, declared
at once and without trial of it that it
was not the correct one, and by various
tortures tried in vain to make him sur
render larger one. Edison also stated
that the gang engaged in the robbery
consisted Of five persons in all, and re-
manned two days in Springfield, facts
which are corroborated by the Paymas-
ter of the Boston and Albany Railroad,
who met Scott and Dunlap on two con-
secutive days Immediately before the
robbery, and saw them talking with
three other men whom he has never
seen since. Many other bits of cor
roborative evidence, though slight in
themselves, strongly unite to support
EdsOn's strange story.

The Rain Tree.

The Consul Of the United States OF
Colombia in the Department OF L0ret0
PerW has written from YurimaguaS to
President Prado, informing him that in
the woods adjacent to the City Of Moyo-
bamba exists a tree called by the natives
Tamia-caspi Grain tree), which possesses
some remarkable qualities. 1t is tree
of about fifteen meters (about fifty teet)
high, when at maturity, and OF about
one meter in diameter at the base, and
has the property of absorbing an i'm
mense quantity of humidity from the at
mosphere, which it concentrates and
subsequently pours forth from its leaves
and branches in a shower, and in such
abundance that in many cases the
ground in its neighborhoOdis is converted
into a perfect bog 1t possesses this
curious property in its greatest degree
in the summer, precisely when the rivers
are at their lowest, and water most
scarce; and the writer proposes that It
should be planted in the more arid
regions of Peru, for the benefit Of agrl-
culturists. .-Pananaa Star 0nd Herad.

How a NewsbOy Saved a Bank.

"And now let me tell you how Did
ley, the newsboy, stopped a panic. 1t
was soon after the failure of the Bank
of Pennsylvania, land public confidence
in all moneyed institutions was badly
shaken. Savings funds especially felt
the shock. Well, a rumor had gone
abroad about the Savings Fund then
located in the building at the southeast
corner of Third and Chestnut Streets,
where the Western Union Telegraph Of
flee is now situated. The depositorS
were mostly Germans, in small amounts.
Didley had told me he had $500 depos-
tied there, and so when rush was made
on the bank called on the President as
a newspaper man to make inquiries.
Didley hadn't got down town yet, but
some Of the newsboys started for his
house to notify him, while others gath
cred in the crowd. All were as much
interested as himself in his finances. A
failure of the bank meant stoppage OF
theater tickets. | soon learned that the
Savings Fund was in condition to 60
through if the rush was checked. But
we can't stand this panic. I'll see that
Didley shan't lose a cent, if L have to
pay it out of my own pocket said the
President This touched me, and | re-
solved to help him. III send Didley
over here when he arrives | suggested
to the President, and when he comes
you give him full liberty to look at the
books, ETC., as you have given me. Then
trust to his TACT | found Didley wait
inc for me at the office, and told him
the facts. Over he walked, with the
careless air of capitalist, through the
crowd, into the bank, followed by a
yelling mass Of newsboys.
" Il want to see the President de-
manded Didley.
"I am here what can | do for you,
Mr.. -?' calling him by his proper
name).
"Well, Mr.. President, | want to know
the exact state of affairs. | have $500
deposited here, and | can't afford to lose
it. But don't want to trouble you by
drawing it out, if it is safe. | ask you,
on your word of honor, is it safe?'
"T assure you that it is, on my word
of honor. But as you have acted so
gentlemanly, walk in and examine the
books.
"With one of his little hands thrust
under his short cOat-tails and the other
placed on his breast, Didley walked into
the Directors room with all the style OF
Rothschild. The rush for money was
temporarily stopped by the crowd gaz-
ing on this little man.
:" Soon Didley emerged, his face
showing evident satisfaction. Did you
get your money! was the salutation OF
the crowd of boys, as he reached the
step. why should I get my moneyg
he answered. This banks all safe-l
don't scare like these Dutchmen.'
Three cheers for the bankn Three
cheers for Didley!' went up from hun
dreds of youthful thrOats. The Older
folks stood awe-stricken. The conf
dence Of the newsboys asserted itself
among them, and by noon the panic was
stopped, and the crowd had disappear
ed. The President told me afterward
that Didley had saved the bank, as a
continuance of the rush would have en-
barrassed them beyond redemption, be-
fore they had time to dispose of their as
sets at a proper price. ."-PhtIadetph1a
