just as confident Of acquitting him as if the

There is no question, however, regarding the
fact that over $4,000 is missing from the
county safe. The acquittal is simply q
question of law, and the disappearance of the
coin question of fact.

JONES and Mcdonald, of Chicago, made an
attempt to corner tho wheat market Of that
city, and have failed for over half million.
The firm is in the corner, but the wheat
lodged, being too lively for the firm. After
Keene's failure at this same game, it is rather
odd that the J. and Med. crowd tried it. An
attempt to raise the price of the staff of life
should always meet with failure.

The ALTA SwINDLE.-The San Francisco
Stock Report speaks in plain terms of the
Alta deal, which resulted SO disas trously to
the credulous investors of c street, Virginia,
and Pine street, San Franchises: The Alta
deal has proved equally disastrous to many
of the inside mining sharps as to the we'll
MIXED, unsophisticated class, known as the
''outsidsrs." In this instance no quarter was
given to any one; the net was dragged with
a remorseless hand and the victims have
been all sorts of fish from the gullible sucker,
up. The plodding hod-carrier and the! aristo-
cratic millionaire have equally become prey
to the rapacity of one Of the most wholesale
and ingenius swindl les perpstrated in all our
mining annals. And yet, the crime techni-
cally is not grand larceny" nor case of
''obtainiuE money under false pretenses,"
nor are its principals, acce ssories and abet-
tors likely very soon to take Judgment in
San Quentin. On the contrary we expect
that they will shortly occupy a more prom
nent position than over in financial circles.
If the law can reach them, they shoIld be
punished or made to disgorge; if the law is
powerless, it should be 80 remedied as to
deter the preparation Of such swindles in the
future.

The Stockton Mail raises an excellent point
in the Schroeder case. 1t says that under the
law wife cannot testify for or against her
husband in a criminal trial. Under this rul-
ing neither side could put Mrs. Schroeder on
the stand. Schroeder swore that his wife con-
iessed an intimacy with Leferve, although
there was no testimony whatever to substan-
tiate this theory. Thus, as the law stands, a
man tried for murder may swear that his wife
confessed an intimacy with the victim and
there is no way known to the law to disprove
his testimony.

While severol persons were picking rasp-

snake was seen lying in some bushes with
the head about two feet high from the

is estimated that the snake is fully IA feet
long, and its body is as thick as mans

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
FELONIOUS ASSAULT.

Narrow Escape of q Bar-Tender.
Last night about 10 o'clock a man
named John Haberbush, living in or near
Rothsville, this county, entered the
Stevens house restaurant, this city, and
asked for a stew of oysters, and having
eaten them asked for another stew, which
was also prepared for and eaten by him.
He then fumbled in his pocket, awhile and
said he had two dollars when he came in,
and asked the bartender, Samuel Reese.
to give him his change. Reese told him
he had not seen any of his money, and as
Haberbush continued to acuse and abuse
him, Reese asked him what was the
matter with him. adding that there must
be something wrong with him. Haber-
bush thereupon pulled a pistol from his
pocket, and advancing towards Reese,
who was behind the bar, said "Tn soon
make something wrong with you, -" cock
ing the pistol and aiming it at Reese's
head. Reese seized the pistol just as Haber-
bush pulled the trigger, and by rare good
luck, his thumb slightly overlapped the
nipple of the pistol, so that when the ham,
mer fell it struck his thumb instead of the
percussion cap, thus preventing the dis
charge of the weapon, and probably sa' :
Reese's life. Reese jumped over the bar,
disarmed Haberbush and gave him we'll
deserved thrashing. The police were
soon ON hand and took Haberbush to the
lookup. This morning Mayor MacGonigle
committed him to the county Jail for Is
days, for drunken and disorderly conduct.
Meantime Mr.. Reese made complaint
against him before Alderman McConomy
Of felonious assault and carrying concealed
deadly weapons. These cases will not be
heard until his present term of imprison-
ment ends.
