Railroad J0ttlngs.

Wednesdays train had cars steel rail,
 Fol.r cars steel rail on yesterdays train
 End Of the track is now 161l miles only from Tucson.
 End of the track is now 391l miles east of Casa GranGe.
 Two miles four hundred and forty feet track laid monday.
 Two miles nine hundred and forty feet track laid Tuesday.
 One car containing A Chinamen went to the front on Tuesdays train.
 One mile two thousand seven hundred and twenty feet track laid Wednesday.
 The we'll being bored by the rail road at Mamoth Tank, is now down to depth of 1,O1O feet and no sign of water.
 Owing to the detention of steel rail east of Odgen there has been no track laid since Thursday, they will resume again Monday.
 We see oy the telegraphic reports from New York this week that 12.527 bars of steel rail had left there for the s. P. R. R. during the wick. According to this it should commence to arrive here some time next week. We hope it may meet with no detention as they are apparently l in need of It at the front.
 A Large gang of chinamen carts &c. started last Sunday from end of the track to a point, fifteen miles beyond Tucson, where there is some heavy grading to be done. It is said they created some little excitiment passing through Tucson, the natives thinking they were marching ul Lon the town, 3O,OOO strong.
 Tram No. 1, met with slight accident two miles east of Texas Hill last Friday, caused by a journal breaking close to the wheel under car of steel rail. The result of which was the ditch;ng of three cars loaded with steel. No person was hurt and but slight damage to the cars, the train was detained but few hours.
 The c. s. N. folks have not yet decided whether they will take the steamers and 1 barges to the mouth of the river for re- pairs, or put them on the ways at Yuma. Should the heavy raise in the Gila, repor- ted at Burkes station prove to be disas- terous to the bridge here which many of the old settlers predict a large freshet will be, they would find one or two steam CTS very serviceable ill the capacity of transfers.

Silver King.

From the number of rumors that the property has been bonded. sold, re-sold, set down on and changed hands gener- ally, it would almost bewilder tEe devil to keep the rum of it. Thesc rumors positively indicate desire to buy, desires disappointed, and consequent inclination to depreciate the property for personal purposes. We have seen one gentleman candid enough to admit, that he msde cash offer of ten dollars per share, aho did not blame the largest owners for re-
 jecting the offer, and from him we gather in. fact, that no doubt the property (lhe anything else in the world, that is a mat' ter of purchase and sale) is for sale whenever figures are reached that satisfy the principal owners, and until that per iod arrives, no amnunt of outside specut- ations upon its value, will effect change.

A Gown With a History.

A mOdiste in Fourteenth street has on
exhibition an elaborate satin gown,
whose history can be traced without
break, it is claimed, to its original owner
and wearer, Queen Marie Antoinette. 1t
is of pale yellow, or rather it WAS, for age
has mellowed it to an old gold hue; it is
richly embroidered in clusters of flowers
of natural color, which still retain their
first brilliancy. The unfortunate queens
fondness for flowers is well known, and
the models of the pansies and roses and
carnations on this gown might have been
chosen by her from the gardens OF her
favorite Petit Trianon. Its asserted
genuineness is thus made out:
During the spring following the execu-
ton of Louis XVI, January 81, 1898,
the revolutionary tribunal decreed that
the furniture and entire contents OF the
Tuileries should be disposed of. The
sale continued six months, and would
have continued much longer had it not
been legally stopped. Pierre de la Re-
biere, minister of foreign affairs, then
vought three gowns belonging to Marie
Antoinette, which passed to his son, who
went to San Domingo, and fled, during
the last instruction on the island, to
Philadelphia. The gowns descended to
his daughter, Nine. Remie Mignot, of
Charleston. S. c., granddaughter of
Pierre de In Reviere), who was afterward
married to NJ. Ruties, of that city.
Through her the pale yellow satin came
into possession of her eldest daughter, now
Mrs. Churchill, and from her the mOdiSte
purchased it some months ago. 1t has
been very carefully vamped and newly
put together, so that it preserves, under
the circumstances, an astonishing fresh
ness. As may be supposed, it is the OBJ
ject of the deepest interest to many
women, not on account of its associations.
but of its having belonged to a sovereign
famous for her elegant toilets. Ii his
tory could be studied by and through
clothes, how many enthusiastic students
there would be among the other sex, and
how wonderfully proficient they would
become. One of the two remaining gowns,
blue one, was given to another daugh-
ter of Mime. Mignot, who, after marriage
removed to Holland, and it was used as a
covering for some handsome piece OF
furniture now in possession of her hus-
band, living at the little town of Elm
hoven, North Brabant. The third, a
purple gown, having been owned by a
sister of Nine. Mignot returned to
madame after her sisters death, and was
burned during the great fire at Charles
ton in 1861. The authenticity of the sole
surviving historic gown appears to be
pretty well established.-Nev YORK.

A PARTISAN TRAGEDY.
The suicide of Mrs. Annie WetmOre.
IParis Cor New York Harald


The suicide of Mrs. Annie Wetmore,
which took place at the residence of
Lady Albert Pelham Clinton, at No. II
Rue Chateaubriand at 3 o'clock yester-
day, has created painful sensation
among the English and American resi-
dents here. 1t is the old story of mis-
placed affection, abandonment and de-
pair. Some two or three years ago the
deceased lady met the Marquis of
Anglesea, then Lord Henry Paget. She
was a handsome and attractive woman,
and it is said that she abandoned her
husband and only child under the i'm
preston, if she could get divorce, that
Paget would marry her. However this
may be, it is certain the relations of the
parties were of the most intimate char
acter, and the friends OF Mrs. Wetmore
were led to believe that prom
Use of marriage really existed,
and that, the divorce having
been obtained, she would soon
become Lady Anglesea, Lord Henry
Paget having succeeded to the title.
The unfortunate lady's hopes were sud
denly blasted, however, by the publica-
ton of the marriage of his Lordship to
the Hon. Mrs. Wadhouse, widow of
Lord Kimberly's second son, and the
daughter of Mrs. Preston King, of Geor-
gia The shock to Mrs. Wetmore was
terrible, and her friends thought she
would lose her reason. After she be-
came more composed the idea occurred
to her of suing the Marquis in the En-
glish law courts for breach of promise,
as she had upward of 200 of his letters,
which, it was considered, would estab-
lish her case. Whether she shrank
from the scandal of such a pro-
ceeding, or whether she was de-
tered from putting it into execution by
insufficiency of means, is not known,
but she settled down into state of deep
melancholy, from which nothing could
arouse her, and finally she procured the
fatal drug which put an end to her ex-
istence give you the facts as cleaned
them, without vouching for their perfect
accuracy. Efforts are being made to
keep the matter as quiet as possible. L
know not how far Lord Anglesea may
be to blame in the matter, but it is quite
possible the unfortunate lady's steps
may have led her to indulge in illusions
in regard to marriage with his Lord
ship when there was no serious founda-
ton. The police authorities held an
inquiry into the affair to-day, and, after
inspecting the body, gave NJ. Weeks, of
the chapel in the Rue Bayard, permits
sion to make all necessary arrangements
for the funeral. The last services will
be conducted by DR.. Morgan at his
chapel on next Saturday morning.

There Was Liquor i'm Him.

George Bennett, who was hanged at
Toronto, Canada, for the murder of Ed
itor Brown, of the Toronto Globe, made
the following speech from the gallows
Gentlemen, L am going to die, and
/ am innocent of crime. By no words
that L can possibly say can L clear my
self, and L cannot say any more than
that L am innocent, as the act was be-
yond my control. The act by which the
Hon. George Brown met his death was
done in an excited moment. l suppose
he could not foresee the consequence.
He thought 1 was going to use the re-
volver when / drew it from my pocket,
and he grasped at it, and it caused the
act which caused his death. His hand
must have struck the trigger, as the shot
was fired simultaneously with his catch
ing it. / am going to meet my God
now, and it would be foolish thing
for me to die with a lie on my lips.
What / say here you may accept as a
fact. l would not likely speak false
when l am about to die. l am pos
sessed of spirit enough to have acknowl-
edged the crime if l did it. The blood
does not trickle in my veins that would
let me do such an act. i am not false at
heart or a coward. 1t would have been
shameful thing to have done such an
act, as Mr.. Brown did not deserve it.
He was the most popular man through
out the world, and deserved it, and he
went to his death through an over
sight on my part. L went to him for a
very simple reason, and not to commit
crime L could not control the event.
Tbara Uos liouor in mo and the acct
dent occurred, and was fatal"
Bennett then turned his back to the
spectators and motioned with his right
hand, in which he held crucifix, and
remarked, quite coolly: 81 am pre-
pared to die. All have to say now is,
may God have mercy on my soul y

A Cat Defends q Pet Dog.

The residents on Broadway, says the
Norwich Bulletin, were amused to see a
tortoise shell cat take the part of black
and tan dog on Broadway the other day.
They are both pets i'll the same family,
but the dog has never abandoned his
curish ways, but INDUCES in snarling at
man and beast as they pass his masters
door. Yesterday he ran out and snarled
at big black dog passing by and the
animal resented it in beastly manner,
picking "black and tan up and rolling
him in the dust, while he yelled with all
his might. While this was going on
tortoise shell" ran out and mounted
the big black dog, much as monkey
gets upon pony in a circus, and began
to scratch. The big dog dropped his
little victim to the earth, and his tail
between his legs at the same time, and
started with cry for other fields. She
chung to him until he was well started
and then jumped to the ground, while
the big dog kept on out of sight never
deigning to look around or to elevate his
caudal appendage to its natural position.

The GnupSuIS.

We give below, says the Detroit Free
Press, the results of the enumeration in
fifty-six counties in Michigan, and in
comparison Herewith the population in
the same counties as shown by the State
census of 1874. and by the Federal
census of 1870. OF the counties included
III the list of populations for 1880 Of
Huron, Iosco, Muskegon and Osceola
are given in round numbers, some towns
being lacking in the reports rs published.
The population in the remaining coun-
ties is semi-of1icial, and, though the Of
fetal tabulation may change the total
somewhat, it will not vary them ma
terially.
As will be seen the population in the
fifty-six counties now is 1,303,3 81. If
the twenty remaining counties have
gained mt the same rate since 1870 as
those reported they have now popula-
ton of 351, 52S, gain of 100, 900, and
tho population of the State is |, 654, 500
III the estimate is made on the basis of
the gain since 1874 of the counties re-
ported, the counties unreported have
now population of 32S, 745, and the to-
tai population of the State is $50, 116.
The population shows that under the
next Congressional apportionment Mich
igan will assuredly gain an additional
member, even if there be no increase i'll
the aggregate number in the House of
Representatives 1t is certain that the
number will not be reduced from the
present total (293), and if there be II ma
terial increase, rs is possible, Michigan
may gain two and perhaps three men,
hers With total population i'll the
United States of 4S,000,000, the
basis of Congressional representation
in House of 293 members would be
about 164, 900, and Michigan will show
SO near an equivalent to ten full Con-
gressional quotas that this number must
be accorded her. The present Congress
sional ratio is about 1875, 900. If no
change be made III this the number of
members in the House will be nearly
$50, and Michigan will be fully entitled
/ to twelve.
