Faulkner & Co. At present everything
is shut down on Estis Mountain. owing
to the machinery OF the weather, but
work will be resumed shortly on o large
scale-next month. Opposite Eustis
Mountain. and across Jordan creek,
lays the Whale, now under the supervis.
ion of T. r. Butler. formerly of No. ..
who every Piocher knows. Mr.. Butler
and VIM. Hyde, OF California, bonded
this vein for $4,000 last fall. and Mr..
Butler has four men working on it day
and night, and has attained a depth OF
200 feet by q tunnel. which be is still
driving ahead to tap the vein at greater
depth. This is one OF the biggest out
crops in the district. Mr.. Butler Is one
of our live men and an energetic and eI-
perienced mining man, who Is credit to
any company that he may be doing
business for. We want few more such
men as T. r. Butler to come here and
look for themselves and take hold,
as there nre plenty more openings for
those seeking investments to come to
Yankee Fork, the true Ell Dorado to mine
in. Among others, whom presume old
Piothers are familiarly acquainted with,
is JAS. Lloyd. He has some very fine
prospects and is one of our most active
and pushing young men. There are
few ex-Piochers here, and they appear 10
hold their own.
The extent of this camp is from seven
to eight miles long. running north and
south. and from two to three miles wide.
All the paying mines lies in red and
white porphyry, incased with syenite
and trachite. The veins run northeast.
erly and southeasterly, and their dip is
to the north. There are abundance o!
wood and water here and the valleys OF
the Salmon river range are very fertile
Everything here is ut an enormous price
and it will not do for broken men &c
come, or those seeking employment, as
the camp is young and no company has
taken hold yet, and it would be better tol
such men TO keep away for the mex
twelve or fifteen months. Our town il
not very large. but we have as goot
business men here as any camp coult
wish for. We have two stores, two hotel
and one saloon. We look for larg
emigration both to the Snake river place
diggings and here early in April ant
May.

Judge LYNCH nj Work.

James Carroll, a negro rayisher, who was
arrested in Georgetown, D. c., for an out.
rage on Mrs. Jennie Thomas, a respectable
married woman of Leekville, Frederick
County, Nd, was iynched at Point of Rocks,
near the scene of the crime, seventy miles
from Baltimore, on the B. and o. R. B.,
while sn route by rail, in custody of officers,
to the Frederick County Jail. As the train
stopped at Point of Rocks to switch on to
the main stem of the Baltimore and Ohio
Road, a band of masked ~vigilants, number
ing a score, boarded it. A desperate en-
counter ensued with the Metropolitan
officers in defense of the prisoner in their
charge, but they were overpowered. The
negro was dragged from the car, a rope with
a moose attached put around his neck, and
he was taken across a plowed field for an
eighth of a mile. where, without unnecessy
delay, he was swung from the limb of a
tree. BE said nothing and died easily.
His captors also maintained a uniform
silence, and acted their part with great cool
ness and elaboration. The negro dead

ALamentable rrneear.

A fearful tragedy occurred in Covington,
KY, o few evenings since. Six boys, Wal
ter Rolett, John Brigham, George Hardy,
Willie Rolett, Albert Martin and Peter
Hooker, were coming home together from
school, walking on the board sidewalk. As
they passed along, two little children stuck
sticks at them through the fence, which the
boys playfully e%ndeavored to catch. Peter
Hooker stopped and began to play with the
children, when Burton Hathaway, a young
man eighteen years of age, who was engaged
in painting a window in the second story of
the adjoining building, his fathers resi-.
dence, became annoyed, ran down the stairs,
pulled down his overalls, and becoming
excited, drew a small seven-shooter re.
%yolver, known as a Defender. The little
chaps who saw him pull the weapon became
frightened and started to run away, but
Hathaway fred, and the ball from his pistol
struck Peter just over his right ear. He
fell to the ground, and was picked up and
taken to the residence of a lady near by.
The poor boy died in fifteen minutes after
the fatal shot was fred. He never spoke
after he fell.

Dangerous Houses.

Houses that have been empty may
become fever-breeders when they come
to be reoccupied. An English sani-
tary officer alleges that he has observed
typhoid, diphtheria, or their zymotic
affections to arise under these circum-
stanres. The cause is supposed to be
in the disuse of ~cisterns, pipes, and
drains, the processes Of putrefaction go
ing on in the impure air in them, the
unobstructed access of this air to the
house, while the closure of windows and
doors effectually shuts out fresh air.
Persons moving from the city to their
country homes for the summer should
see that the drains and pipes are in per-
feet order, that the cellar and closets are
cleared of rubbish, and the whole house
thoroughly aired before occupying.
Carbolic acid used freely in the cellar is
a good and cheap disinfectant.-Scien-

Cyclone in southern Illinois.

A late st. Louis Globe Democrat special
from Collinsville, ILL.,, about eleven miles
from st. Louis, says a terrible cyclone from
the northwest struck the town at a quarter
to three o'clock in the afternoon, and tax
ing a zig.zag course, with a general direc.
ton almost east, tore through the place,
demolishing ten buildings, running about
thirty others, and damaging more or less
some seventy five residences and business
houses. A slight rain preceded the
storm, and nearly everybody was
indoors when the cyclone struck, but, not.
withstanding ten houses were leveled with
the ground only one person was killed, a
little girl named Annie Reynolds, and one
or two theirs badly injured. The storm
lasted but two or three minutes, but was
frightfully severe. After it passed the PEG

The cyclone, as usual, was rotary in its
movement, aud struck and bounded from

evidences of its force was the picking up of
a horse and buggy, and carrying it to the
height Of twenty or thirty feet, and a dis.
lance of about fifteen rods, dashing it to
the earth, crushing the horse to a jelly and
the buggy TO ~splinters. The cemetery just
outside of town was laid in waste, nearly
every tombstone in it being leveledto the
ground. The storm disappeared in the
east, and there are reports that it did dam
age elsewhere, but these reports are not yet
confirmed. The total damage il Collins.

Two.Legged Hens.

Some years ago a certain man, whom
we will call Boggs, lived in Bethany,
Ct, and one day he was called, with
a number of other men, to go quite q
distance to NOW a large field. His asso-

miraculous. Escape from Death.


John Boone, an employee of Gebhart's
Flour Mills, in the eastern part of the city
of Dayton, Ohio, was caught in the shafting
of the machinery, between two and three
o'clock IN the morning, and narrowly es'
capped with his life. His clothes became
wrapped about the shaf,ipg SO tightly that
when he discovered the fact he could not
extricate himself. He is a man weighing
two hundred pounds, and of great strength.
Throwing one arm around a beam near at
hand, he endeavored to pull the shafting
out of gear or tear himself from it. He
succeeded in ~springing it from the sockets,
but on Stacking up it sprung back. Boone
held the shafting in this position for fully
fifteen minutes, when, obliged to give up
from exhaustion, he was drawn upon the
shaft, his clothes fortunately giving way.
They were torn completely from his body.
He succeeded in getting to a lower floor of
the building, where he fell from sheer ex.
haustion, and was discovered shortly after
by those who had heard his cries. He was
placed under medical care, and his condi.
ton at present is regarded as critical.

slaughter of Russian Prisoners.

A Kieff correspondent of a st. Petersburg
journal gives the following account of an
outbreak among political prisoners last
month:
"Persons under arrest in the Kieff prison
resolved, some time ago, to tunnel under the
walls and escape. The scheme was betrayed
by one of the conspirators. The authorities
allowed the prisoners to continue the exca-
walton, and when the tunnel was completed
and the prisoners had entered it, one after
the other, intending to come up through
an opening beyond the prison precincts,
soldiers previously posted at the opening
shot the escaping prisoners as they came
up. When the bulk of the prisoners, terri
fed by the the noise Of the firing,
stopped and remained in the tunnel.
Soldiers were sent in from behind
and the unfortunate wretches, caught be-
tween two fires, were all shot down. The
proceeding seemed to give the officials
much amusement, and the Director Of
the Kieff Prison was then praised and
decorated for having acted with such clever
ness and decision"
The correspondent adds: "Quite in
keeping with this is the statement pub
lished by a Russian chaplain in the Contra
Prison at Charko6, in the oficia
Eparchialm Wedomosti. He declares tina
OF five hundred prisoners detained at tina
prison, two hundred died within fouI
months. One of the heaviest charges mad
by the Nihilists against the Russian ofncia

Mr.. AND Mrs. GILL had worked very
hard for a year at a ranch in Nevada,
saving every cent that they could, and
at the end of that time started to return
to Virginia City, where they intended
to buy a little home. They decided to
make the journey afoot in order to
avoid expense, but they bought a bottle
of whisky to drink on the way. Come
on, my darling" said Gill, as they set
out together, eve will be happy now"
Their first effort to be happy was to
drink the liquor. 1t was exceedingly
cold, and late that night Gill staggered
into a tavern thoroughly intoxicated.
He said that his wife had frozen to
death back on the road. She was found
dead, indeed, but Gill had murdered
her in a drunken quarrel.

At six o'clock in the morning, recently,
L. s. Chase, residing at 1874 Calumet-ayenue,
Chicago, aroused his wife and requested her
to step outside their sleeping apartment.
Scarcely bad the door closed behind Mrs.
Chase, before her husband seized his razor,
and drawing the keen blade across his
throat, launched himself beyond the aid Of
mortal help. The weapon severed the
windpipe and jugular vein. On the return
OF Mrs. Chase to her husbands room, she
found him past recovery. He has been in
poor health, and it is supposed that while
temporarily out of his mind, he committed
the deed which ended his career.

Outrage by Burriar..

A special from Bulger, Pa, says that four
masked burglars broke into the store of A.
J. Russell 4 Co., at that place, about three
o'clock In the morning, and exploded the
safe door, securing small sum of money.
Mr.. Laird, telegraph operator at the station,
heard the noise Of the explosion, and going
out to learn the cause, was seized by the
robbers, who took his money, and bound
and gagged him in the store. They then
set fire to the building, and escaped, leaving
Laird bound-to a post in the storeroom. He
succeeded in relieving himself of the gag
before the flames reached him, and his cries
speedily aroused the n%eighbors, who res.
cued him from the building. The thieves

Threatens every man, woman or child liv.
ing in a region OF country where fever and
ague are prevalent, since the germs Of
malarial disease are inhaled from the air
