A DEsPE EsATE DUO.
Meaning Emile DOrman and Alfred
Gomez, who Fight Till They Fall
MOrtally wounded,

About o'clock last night the corner of UrQu-
hart and Bagatelle streets was made the scene
OF bloody tragedy. in which Emile Dorman
and Alfred Gomez were the participants and
we're both dangerously wounded. Dorman re-
eeiving terrible cash over the left eye with a
brick, causing q depressed fracture of the
frontal bone Gomez received stab in the
right side of the back which, no doubt, will
result fatally.
From the facts. as cleaned from persons who
witnessed the ARRAY, 1t appears that Dorman
who Is light mulatto, about nineteen years of
age. was standing at the above corner, leaning
on barrel, when Gomez, who Is also mulatto,
but OF much darker hue and older than Dor
man by several years, put In an appearance,
and walking up to D1rman, called him to task
about some matter which had occurred last
Sunday. Suddenly becoming angered, Gomez
struck Dorman In the face, who made a motion
as II TO draw q weapon. Charles Torregano, a
friend of Dorman, then stepped between the
combatants and held Dorman. Gomez, seeing
his enemy safely pinioned, went into the siree,
picked up brick, sneaked up bahind Dormau
and struck him over the head. BY u superhu.
man exertion ID rman succeeded in freeing
himself, aud as Gomez advanced plunged a
knife into his back, both falling to the side-
walk.
The parties were taken to the Fifth Precinct
station, alter which Dorman was sent to the
Charity H. spitai and Gomez was conveyed to
hls home, on Annette, between Urquhart and
Girod streets. The wea on with which Gomrz
was stabbed is common buck handled knife

visit several Of the prominent mining
eAmps Of that section. and we're very
Agrssably impressed by the greatly Inn
proved mining prospects which Sero

A settled feeling Of confidence in the

has taken the place of uncertain hope
the prevailing sentiment in all new
camps until its mines have been ex.
Plored to n sufficient depth to establish
their permanency and value. The per-
seyering energy Of the principal CON-
panies operating has now satisfactorily
solved the problem. which is clearly
evidenced not only in the mines them
selves. but in the improved and estab-
Eshed ch aracter Of the business Of the
place; its new buildings, etc., showing
q faith based upon positive conviction,
and which is not to be shaken.
Developments in the lower-lsvels of
the Grand Prize have removed all doubts
IS to the continuance and value of the
principal mine Of the district, thus far,
and the fine substantial improvements
made upon the same in the way OF
buildings and machinery, is mn earnest
Of the faith aud future Intentions OF
the Company. The works erected upon
the mine will compare favorably with
any Of similar magnitude in the State;
being Of perfect workmanship. md sup
piled with all the modern improvements
for safety aud facility. The Independ-
ence and Revenue are both proving to
be valuable mines; the latter producing
richuess. affording specimens unlike
anything heretofore obtained in the
country, but very pretty. wi,hnl. The
Argenta, which is doubtless the same
lead as that OF the Grand Prize. Is
showing well. and is one OF the most
promising mines Of the district. Navajo,
DeFrees, Endowment. and u number of
others upon which work is bring prose
cuted are looking more or less favorable
With fair prospects OF developing IA
greater value than has attached 10 them

PHILADELPHIA Times: "The opinions
OF a Mormon bishop on celestializing,

ospted As absolutely without bias, but
they are often very lively. Bishop ALI

Lake Tribune reporter, a few days ago,
and the newspaper man got nearly a
column Of views. Bishop Allsop does
not want any better evidence OF the di-
vinity Of polygamy than the fact that
the ungodly are everlastingly meduling
With it, but he seems TO think addition
