tSon square garden last night. Blower Brown
has been sad disappointment to all his friends.
and large amount OF money has been lost on
him, for even his most sanguine friends and ad-
mirers concede that he has not now ghost or
show OF winning, and his chances for a place
are growing less every hour. Brown is suffer-
Ing severely from cramps in the stomach.
Every remedy possible In such cases has been
tried on him. but with little or no success. He
and never reappeared until 9:25 at night. He
looked sick and worn out, and after remaining
on until $40, he again sought his tent, his score
then being only 81 miles. A good deal OF ap-
pluaSe was caused when several OF the contsS =

polntment of inspectors OF election. Counsellor
Field moved for an attachment against them,
returnable instantly, for failure to comply with
the terms Of the writ Judge Davis said II 1t
perslStently endeavored to secure the appoint
ment OF persons not In harmony with Tammany
Hail. and TO enforce that selection on the
county commissioners, the court would regard
them as in contempt. At present the court
thought it best to postpone further action until
the hnal return to-day. Meantime the COM

IL it was shown to-day they were In contempt,
the court would act In the matter. The police
board last night completed their work by the
appointment Of Tammany inspectors.

exist, and has thus far met with no success
he LEFT last night for Abbeville County, N C.,
where II Is represented in the newspapers that
the metal has been found In appreciaoa
quantities. he has found two metals zIrcon
ana samarskite, In considerable quantities,
both OF which can be used with great advan.
tage by Mr. Edison. The former possesses the
peculiar quality of infusibility IN the electric
light which may, be of the highest Importance
TO the famous inventor. The latter is a COM
bnation OF many substances, OF which COM
paratively little is known, and any one OF
which may also prove valuable. Gen. Cling
man has large mine OF the former. Mr.. Hid
den also discovered mineral, anastase, which
was not hitherto known TO exist In this state,
and another which is entirely unknown to the
scientific world. He remarked In the course OF
the conversation that North Carolina WAS alb
Solutely the best field for minerals In the WORLDLY
tnat nowhere is there anything like the variety
which she furnishes. and. as a rule they are
by far the most perfect specimens known.-

OFFICIAL STATEMENT IN REGARD TO MAJOR
THORNBURG'S EXPEpITIoN.-The Chicago Times
has full correspondence touching the expedi-
ton Of Major Thornburg. Assistant Adjutant
General Williams, at Fort omaha, has com
piled it for the purpose Of answering certain
adverse newspaper criticisms. 1t shows that
Tbornburg was selected as the man most lit
for the task by orders OF the general OF the
army. 1t calls attention to the fact, shown by
correspondence, that Agent Meeker and the
governor Of Colorado considered 100 men suffi-
Client to enforce order among the Indians; also,
that Thornburg himself regarded the three
companies Of cavalry and the one OF infantry
Qn all 200 men), which he took, amply sufficient
for the expedition. Thornburg was cautioned
by a telegram sent after he was well on his
way, to advance with prudence; If he had rea-
son to believe his force insufficient, to commu-
nicate with headquarters and Call for more,
which he would receive. He was advised that
the matter was left entirely to his discretion.
On September Goth Thornburg sent this, his
last telegram, from camp on Bear Creek, Col
orado: 'sHave met some of the Ute chiefs here
They seem friendly, and promise to go with
me to the agency. Say UteS don't understand
why we came here. Have tried to explain sat
isfactorily. Don't anticipate trouble" The
conclusion is that Thornburg, one of the most
prudent and discreet officers was thrown of
his guard by the Savages, and that blame can
neither be imputed to him or the department..
