Nice Jersey city Murderer.

New York, June IA. The fund now
in the hands of the Rev. DIR. Rice to
pay the expenses of new trial for .Jen-
ME r. Smith and Covert D. Bennett,
amounts to over $4,000. Last evening
Rice came to this city to give Emma A.
Abbott a letter of thanks written by
Mrs. Smith. The two prisoners are
well, and yesterday both expressed
hopes of being acquitted if a second tri-
al was granted. They dread the tones
of the court house bell, and when it
rings Bennett throws himself on his
bed and places his fingers in his ears,
and Mrs. Smith cries.

A Foolhardy Undertaking

Boston, June 14.-Goldsmith, the
Swede, and his wife, who some time
ago announced that they would cross
the Atlantic in boat eighteen feet
long, six feet four inches wide and three
feet two inches deep, have been miss
ing ten days. They had with their boat
been on exhibition two weeks, and be-
came disgusted at the lack of patronage.
They thereupon resolved, as Goldsmith
said to a friend, to begin their trip,
even If they had to live on bread and
water; so at $3.50 on Sunday morning
they quietly launched their tiny boat
on Charles river. At 8 O'Clock the
same after noon. they were seen off Bos-
ton light, and since then they have not
been heard of. 1t is generally believed
in the city that they have been lost in
one of the two severe gales which have,
since their departure, swept over this
coast. When they put to sea their only
provisions were small quantity of
bread and two gallons of lager. Their
only ballast was two bags of sand, and
the rigging of the boat was not set up
for heavy weather. Goldsmith's last
words were: s'I'm bound for England

Further Particulars.

Deadwood, June 14.-Further par
ticulars of the cloud burst near Buffalo
Gap, Thursday evening, obtained from
passengers on this evenings coach,
show that the water commenced ris-
ing at about O'Clock on Beaver creek,
one mile this side of Buffalo Gap sta
tion, on the Sidney stage road, and
about ninety-two miles from this city.
Near the banks of the creek were
camped party OF nine persons from
Mills county, Iowa, four from the
Black Hills, and Montgomery Bros.' &c
Clark's freight outfits, loaded with 4O,-
600 pounds, principally machinery,
which was nearly all destroyed, and
scattered for miles around. All the
wagons, with one exception, were also
destroyed, and only a few mules were
saved. No estimate can be made of
the loss at this writing. Nine persons
we're drowned, whose names were given
in previous dispatch. Four bodies,
so far, have been recovered. The water
covered a space of forty miles wide,
and subsidized within two hours after
the rise. Fragments of the wagons,
etc.. were seen from three to five miles
from the scene OF disaster. All the
creeks in and around the hills are unu-
sually high.

Destruction of Forests.

New York, June 14.-Chas.. S. Sar-
gent raises a warning voice in the
American Journal Of Science against
the wanton destruction of the pine for
ests of Nevada. lie says: ''The forests
of Nevada, consisting of few species
adapted to struggle with the adverse
conditions of soil and climate, are i'm
mense, and reach maturity only after
centuries of exceedingly slow growth.
On this account. and because if once
destroyed, the want of moisture will
forever prevent their restoration, either
naturally or by the hand of man," he
urges action to prevent their destruc-
tiOn.

A Sporting Question.

New Castle-on-Tyne, June l4.-At
the meeting of Hanlan and Elliott's
hackers last night, the chairman of the
meeting asked whether in the event of
Hanlan's winning, the next contest for
the Sportsman's challenge cup. could
take place in Canada.
The chairman observed that the
question was an important one and
could only be decided by the trustees
and donors of the cup, whose regula-
tions distinctly stated that it could only
be contested for on the Thames or
Tyne
Col. Shaw, of Toronto, appealed to
the generosity of the trustees. He
could promise any English sculler a
a hearty reception in Canada, and had
no doubt the expenses of journey to
Canada would be cheerfnlly allowed at
any time.
The editor of the Sportsman promis-
ed to communicate with the trustees.
Doubtless their decision would be die
tated solely by what the believed to be
in the best interest of sculling.
Hanlan's supporters left the question
of the starting point entirely in the
hands of Elliot's friends.
A point off Mansion House was fixed
upon.

PUBLIC LANDS.
THE FIRST MORMON CONVICT.
Reynolds Not to be Pardoned = A
Wife's Vengeance-A Compro-
mise on the Silver Bill
Panama Canal.



Washington, June 14.-The house
committee on public land, to-day au-
thorized Representative Washburn, of
Minnesota, to report to the house and
recommend the passage of the bill
amendatory Of section 2297 of title 80
Of the revised statutes, relating to
homestead settlers.
/ The proposition is to add to the Sec
tion a proviso, granting settlers twelve
months from the date of filing in which
to commence his residence on the lands
mentioned.
Delegate Bennett, of Dakota, was
also authorized by the committee to
make favorable report to the house
on two bills, namely, one extending for
one year the act of 1877, granting ab-
sence to settlers on public lands who
have suffered from grasshoppers, and
providing that during such absence no
adverse right shall attace to said lands.
Settlers being allowed to resume
and perfect their settlement as though
no absence had occurred. etc.
The other bill abolishes military res
ervations at Forts Abercrombie and
Ransom, Dakota, and authorizes the
secretary of the interior to have the
lands embraced therein surveyed and
made subject to the homestead and
preemption entry and sale, the same
as other public lands.

New York, June 14.--The Tribune
to-day prints a letter from Thurlow
Weed on the silver question. He be-
lieves great change has taken place in
public sentiment on this subject. He
asserts that resumption could not have
been accomplished except for the silver
bill. 81 marvel that no one of the
prominent men in Washington credited
with presidential aspirations has dis
covered that by increasing the pur-
chasing power of silver. and thereby
fastening our return to national pros
perity, they would render a service to
the country which would be gratefully
appreciated. -

Eloped With a painter

Fort Wayne, Ind, June 14.-Wm.
Sylvester, painter, last night eloped
with Mrs. NJ. E. Swihart, leaving the
city on the 10 O'Clock train on the Rich.
mond road on their way to Cincinnati.
Just as the train was pulling out, Swi-
hart found his wife, for whom he had
been looking faf several hours, and tried
to induce her to leave the train and go
home, but she firmly refused, vowing
to stick to Sylvester. Swihart took
matters very coolly, applying for di-
vorce this morning, with the custody
of their children. Mrs. Swihart is a
line-looking woman, about 20 years of
age, fair, with regular features. She
feels no compunction at leaving her
husband. The two children are now
in Cincinnati, where they expect to
mako their home.

Washington, June 14.-At cabinet
meeting to-day the whole Mormon
question came up for discussion and
while no formal action was taken, yet
the policy and position of the admins
tration was closely indicated.
The subject came up in connection
with the petition for Reyn olds' pardon.
This petition was accompanied by a
letter from Delegate Cannon, addressed
to the president. Cannon says the
case of Reynolds was test case, set up
by the Mormons themselves to test
the constitutionality of the anti-polyga-
my laws. Reynolds himself was the
volunteer defendant, put forward to
represent the Mormon people. Can
non thought that owing to this pecu-
liar condition of the facts. Reynolds,
representing the whole people, should
be pardoned. Devins was of the opin-
ion that AZ Reynolds had employed
every known means to break down the
prosecution and to put the government
to expense in securing his conviction,
he should suffer the full penalty of the
law as embodied in his sentence.
Schurz and McCrary warmly approved
this view, while Sherman and Evarts
were in favor of clemency. Key and
Thompson took no part in the discus
sion Key favors pardon, but Thomp-
som inclines the other way. The gen.
eral policy of the administration was
also considered. Hayes desires to do
what he can to uproot the institution
of polygamy, and as indicated in mis-
talk to day, will do all he can to accom-
plish that object.

Trouble Among the spinners

Fall River, Mass, June 1.-THE
meeting of the spinners committee
held last night was nearly unanimous
in the opinion that all the mills should
be struck. At the general meeting of
spinners tonight the whole body is
expected to take action on this ques-
tion. 1t is stated that there is little or
no doubt, however, but that the senti-
ment will be for such strike. 1t is
further possible that the strike will
begin next Monday, instead Of waiting
until July first. Several of the COM
miteee this afternoon expressed them
selves in favor of striking at once,
without giving any notice, but the
committee were not unanimous on this
point. Secretary Howard said that he
personally favored giving notice, but as
some wished to strike at once, the ques-
tion would be submitted at to-night's
meeting.
The meeting will undoubtedly be a
large one, as numerous committees are
to report. several resolutions are to be
voted on, and grave questions, throw
ing fifteen Thousand persons out of
work causing loss of 100000 as
wages per week, will be thoroughly dis
cussed. Secretary Howard states that
the spinners are in good condition for
strike, having several thousand dol
lars in the treasury, and no outside aid
yet received.

More About the Big Ditch.

London, June 14.-In the final sit
ting of the international literary con-
gress to-day, De Lesseps said in order
to prove the reality of the interest taken
in the construction of the projected
Panama ship canal, and to prevent an
undue advantage being taken by possi-
considered desirable to call for the first
subscription of 100000 in shares of
5,000f, and although the decision had
only been taken three days ago. he had
just received from his ssh in Paris in
formation that the whole sum had been
subscribed. 1t would now be possible
for him, he said, to obtain the balance
and commence the undertaking.

special says: The committee, consist

Coke resolution to take the Warner sill
yer bill from the committee on finance
and pass it, will recommend not
later than Monday, that the bill he
placed on the calendar, but not to be

if any other decision be arrived at by the
committee, resign his place as chair
example, so the caucus is starting n
compromise by saving Bayard and de-
feating the Warner silver bill.
