The Emma Mine.

Having established his innocence before a
court of justice Mr.. Trenor W. Park is now
thinking of turning his attention to those
newspapers which have with such "damna-
BILE iteration" insisted upon his guilt in the
Emma mine sale. 1t Is much to be doubted
if Mr.. Park would show wisdom in prosecut-
ing the controversy further. But he GER
tainly has reason to complain that the old
Scotch justice of Jedburgh has been meted
out to him by the journals. and that he was
condemned first and tried afterwards. The
trial has lasted seventy days. At its begin
ming the expression of public opinion wa.
loudly and decidedly that the promoters of
the mine speculation were guilty of gross
fraud in making the sale. The result is a
triumphant acquittal. The least that the
organs of public opinion can do is to be as
emphatic in their proclamations of Mr.. Parks
proved innocence as they were in their de-
nunciations of his presumed guilt.
The suit was brought in the United States
Circuit Court by the English stockholders in
the enterprise against Mr.. Trenor W. Park,
Gen. Fl. Fl. Baxter, and ex-senator Stewart
of Nevada. As appeared in the trial, some
time after the organization of company to
work the mine, with a nominal capital of
s5,O0O,OOO, the property was sold TO English
capitalists for the same sum. Subsequently
the mine did not prove productive, and the
English stockholders jumped at once to the
conclusion that it never had any value, and
that the sale was fraudulent and based on
false representations. But it was proved
that at the time of the sale the mine was a
valuable property, having yielded richly for
many months. Its failure was an event
which even mining experts were unable to
foresee. The sale was a perfectly legitimate
transaction, and entered into in good faith by
all parties concerned in it. Even now there
is prospect that the property will again be.
come very valuable.
The case has excited widespread interest
because of Gen. Shenck's connection with 1t.
At the time of the sale Gen. Shenck, one of
the directors of the company, was United
States Minister to England. 1t was alleged
that he took advantage of the facilities af-
forded by his official position to help the sale.
He certainly did express his belief in the
great value of the mine, a belief amply war
ranted, as the facts brought out in the course
of the trial proved. His innocence of all
wrong intent was fully demonstrated and
tardy justice done to long slandered man.
The only possible fault now to be found
against him is that of error of judgment in
retaining his prominent connection with
speculative company while holding bis official
position. His exoneration will be gladly re-
ceived, for stain upon the reputation of our
representative was stain upon the good
name of the nation.

The Flag Of the Prophet.

What is this flag of the Prophet, around

BANNED. A black flag was, however,
soon substituted in its place, consisting
of the curtain that had hung before the
door of Ayeshah, the favorite wife of the
Prophet, whose affection for her was &c
strong that he was wont to say that she
would be the first of his wives to whom
the gates of paradise would be open
The Ssnjak-Sherif is regarded by the
Mohammedans as their most sacred relic.
1t first came into the possession of the
followers Of Omar, the second Caliph Of
the Moslems, and generally regarded as
founder of the Mohammedan power, as
from mere sect he raised it to the rank
of conquering nation, and left to his
successors an empire greater than that
which Alexander of Macedon had made
and ruled in Olden time. 1t was this

menia) by which, as the readers of the
ARABIAN Nights Entertainments" will
remember, the Caliph Haroun. al -Raschid,
who was contemporary with Charlie
magnc, was always addressed. The flag
of the Prophet passed from the followers
of Omar at Damascus into the hands of
the cOnquering Abbasides, in the middle
of the eighth century; next into those OF
the Caliphs of Bagdad and Kahira. 1t
was brought into Europe towards the
close OF the sixteenth century by Sultan
Amurath ILL.,, with whom Queen Eliza
beth made treaty of commerce in 1879.
1t was deposited in Constantinople,
where, covered with forty-two wrappings
Of silk, it was deposited in chapel in
the interior Of the seraglio, where it is
perpetually guarded by several emirs
with constant prayers. 1t is known,
however, that the banner unfolded by
the Moslems at the beginning of the war,
and likewise carefully preserved, is no,
the same as the identical flag which
Mohammed had made out of the white
turban of the KOreish. The Moslems
believe that it is, and will fight bravely
under it, thus verifying Mokanns's ia.

A POwder-Mill.

A powder mill is not in the least like
other mills. Instead of one great build
ing, it is composed of many rough-look-
ing little sheds-sometimes a. many as
seventy or eighty. These are long dis
tances apart, separated by dense woods
and great mounds of earth, 80 that if one
"house" is blown up, the Others will es-
cape q like fate. Of some the walls are
built very strong, and the roofs very
slight, in the hope that if an explosion
happens its force will be expended up
ward only. Other houses have enormous
roofs of masonry covered with earth; the
roofs of Others are tanks kept always full
of water.
The constant danger inseparable from
the work would be greatly increased were
there not strict rules, always enforced.
No cautious visitor can be more careful
than the workmen themselves; for they
know, if an explosion happens, it will be
certain, instant death to them. So no
lights or fires are ever allowed; no one
lives nearer the mills than can be helped
some Of the buildings are carpeted with
skins, and the floors are kept always
flooded with an inch or two Of water
and in front Of every door is shallow
tank of water. Before entering, every
person must put on rubber shoes and
vslk through this water; for the aails in
. boot-heel might strike spark from .
bit Of sand or gravel, which might ex-
plode . single graia Of gunPo~der, and
cause widespread disaster. So the rub

Dangerous Counterfeit Coin,

According to a statement in Peterson's
Counterfeit Detector and National Note
List, there are at present counterfeits of
four or five different substances which
closely resemble the genuine silver half.
dollar. The most dangerous of these is
conceded to he made of glass, silvered
over by some process, which makes the
counterfeit similar in appearance and
feeling to the government coin. 1t is
exceedingly difficult to detect the fraud,
particularly as the ring is perfect. The
counterfeit quarters are exceedingly nu-
merOus, and are we'll calculated to deceive
people who are not used to handling coin.
The street cars without conductors, in
the cities, suffer considerably from the
abundance of counterfeit coin, a. passen-
gers can slip bad money into the box in
payment Of fares without discovery. The
losses in consequence are so serious that
the advisability Of taking out the boxes
and employing conductors is under con-
sideration.
1t is also said that large quantities of
counterfeit silver half-dOllars are being
manufactured and put in circulation.
The secret service officers of the treasury
department have now ON hand about q
half bushel of these counterfeit pieces.
which they have recently captured. Those
officers have received information of the
appearance of counterfeit five-d0ilar gold
pieces, which are being circulated on the
frontier on the routes leading to the Black
Hills country; and will find their way
east in q short time. Look out for the
counterfeit half-dollsrs. Twenty cent
pieces with edges filed to initiate quar-
tiers are also in circulation. They can be
detected from the fact that the eagle looks
10 the night. whereas On the quarter. the
baird looks 20 the left. Counserfrits OF

tempts at compromise having failed,
the objections to tho probate Of the
will of Commodore Vanderbilt were
fled in the Surrogatos Office this
afternoon. The objections embrac-

jectors aver that the writings offered
for probate are not the last will and
testament or codicil Of tho late Com
modore Vanderbilt, nor lid the tes~
tator sign the papers either in tho
presence Of the attesting witnesses
or ut oil, or declare them to be his
last will or codicil thereto. Nor did

of deceased, or in. his presence, or
in presence Of each other, that the
deceased was not in sound mind
when the paper purports to have
been signed, or in any respect capa-
bic of making will or codicil thereto.
