Although Colorado shows Sl ,tis0, ,S92 less than for 1877, the yield has been really greater, as reports for 1877 Implicated the product of certain localities, but the duplication was not discovered soon that year. The bullion from the Comstock lode contained 45 per cent gold and 55 per cent silver. Of the so-called base bullion of Nevada, 90 per cent was gold, and of the whole product of the State, B per cent was gold.

The Hero Of Q Scandal Case.

A. Schmidt, saddler living over the
Rhine, died yesterday from consumption.
A little over two years ago he was the prin'
cipal in a scandal case which came near
ending in a murder. At that time cigar.
maker named Kramer was living in his
house, at the corner of Pleasant and Green
streets. The couple lived unhappily,
Kramer often accusing his other half OF
having broken her marriage VOWS. He
came home UNEXPECTEDLY one day, and
found Schmidt and Mrs. Kramer in sus
picious position. Kramer grabbed hatchet
and inflicted five terrible blows on
Schmidts head. 1t was thought that the
butchered man could not survive his terri
Bile punishment. He did so, however, but
died yesterday.
DR.. Muscroft made post-mortem exam
nation, and found three large holes in
Schmidt's skull. The brain, however, had
not been injured, and this saved his life
until consumption ended the same.

Tin Wedding Surprise.

The sounds of merriment that were heard
till early morn IN the neighborhood OF
Fifth and Pike streets last night were oc-
casioned by the assembling of the friends
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. H. Hoffman, to cele-
brate their tin wedding. 1t was surprise;
so was the large and elegant wedding cake
sent by lady from Pike street, for when
Mr.. F. H. Cloud, ofinsurance fame, essayed
to cut it it was found to be filled with a
beautiful lot Of scrap tin. The presents
were numerous and beautiful, embracing
everything in tin from half dozen fog
horns to the latest inventions, of which no
body knew the names or the use. The
party broke up late with many good wishes
for the bride and groom of ten years, and
many were the regrets that their tin we'd
ding did not come often, for jollier host,
a jollier crowd or jollier time was never
known in the East End.

Attacked by Wolves in Minnesota.
st. Cloud (AIinn.) Journa


Recently Mr. Miner, OF the town oil
Langola, Benton county, was driving
from his own house to Mr.. Morrill's,
having with him his wife and three
children, and when near the Jocelyn
school house was attacked by five large
timber-wolves. The fierce beasts
sprang at his horses, and when Mr..
Miner struck at the nearest one with
his whip, it made leap to get to him,
but struck against the wagon-box: At
this moment Mr.. Miners dog bravely
attacked this wolf, but was at once set
upon by the whole pack, killed and al
most entirely devoured. This gave
Mr.. Miner an opportunity to whip up
his horses and make off, which he did
at full gallop, calling loudly for help.
His cries attracted the attention of Mr..
Jocelyn and family, who came to the
rescue, and the wolves were driven Of.
But for the fortunate interference of
the dog the result might have been
much more serious. An attack of this
kindly wolves is almost without prece
dent in tbis part of the state, and 1t
must be that the animals were driven
to it by ravenous hunger.

Electric Illumination

Mr.. w. H. Preece, the electrician to
the British postoffice, is inclined to
look upon the present activity about the
electric light as one Of those sensational
spasrns which seize the public periodi-
cally at intervals of about ten years.
He has not yet found the ideal electric
light. He went to Paris, and every
where where the electric light could be
seen, but. be had laid down three de-
siderata, which he had not found ac-
comphshed. The first was that the
light must be absolutely steady; sec
ondly, it must be brilliant, giving
light of 1 900 candles, or more; thirdly
it must be durable. OF all the lights,
the only one be had seen which came
up to his criterion of atea ainess was the
Wendernann; and the only one suffi-
ciently durable was the Wallace, by
which he meant one which would last
all night and nights. in England some
times lasted eighteen hours. But there
were several which came pretty near
these criteria.

THAT OLD COIN.
Thousand Dollars that was
Buried Fifty Years. - f.
Enquirer.

..E-.. .OIbcInudCl Enquirer.
" Some three weeks since the El1Q1cirer
published an account of the Fourth Ma
tional Bank of this city receiving $780,
600 in new silver coin of halfdollar de-
nomination, which had been minted
half a century or more ago. At the
time but little was known about the his
tory of the coin, though many wild
guesses were made, among which was
one that it was q thieves "plant" lust
dug up. This, as we'll as all other the
Ories about it, was incorrect. 1t is now
known that the money is part of $75,-
900, all in half-dollars, which two miser
bachelor brothers in Northern Pennsyl-
vania purchased from the mints and Sc
cretly buried. The money was buried
with a mutual agreement that neither
should disclose its hiding place while
they lived. One of the two died, and
the secret was kept inviolate until the
second one came to his death-bed. In
his last hour he revealed the secret
of the hidden treasure,to his friends. 1t
was dug up, and the sum found intact,
though the coins were rusty and needed
Furnishing. Some of them dated back
as far as 1919, and all We're rough and
unworn as when they dropped from the
mint. The inheritors bargained and
sold the coins to the Fourth National
Bank of Cincinnati at half cent dis
count. This is the history Of the money.
They have bought some of it at the
Custom House, and paid it out IN
