THE TAY BRIDGE DISASTER.

Portions of the lattice work of the Tay
bridge have been recovered, and it is said
that they bear marks confirming the theory
of the builder of the structure, to the
effect that the train must have left the
rails before it went off the bridge. 1t is
possible that this was the manner of the
catastrophe, but even if it was, the fact
does not account for the collapse of the
bridge, while the character of the material
employed in its construction does afford
some insight into the cause of the disaster.
Had not the bridge been built of bad iron,
improperly fastened, there seems no reason
to doubt its capacity to have stood, for the
plan was not defective. But it was the
duty of the architect to see that the con-
tractors who supplied the material observed
their undertakings faithfully, and it is
clear that he could not have performed this
duty, or the bridge would not have been
constructed so badly as it was.

Another Mysterious Tragedy Fan and
Wife found Murdered.

WALLA WALLA, April Dist Again the
people of this country are shocked by the
news of another double murder. The Walla
Walla Statesman has just received special
dispatch, stating that a man and wife, Will
lam and Mary Lishan, had been found MUIR
dered about four miles southeast OF the Una
tilla Agency, and mile and a half from
Cayuse Station, on the slope of the Blue
mountains. The victims had pitched their
tent and started little farm on the banks.
Lishan was killed in bed, from which he had
not moved. The woman had evidently pre-
pared to retire, but had not, and from her
position had her babe in her arms
at the time. An ak was used to
do the deed, after which the murderer
walked out and struck the ak into the fence
Money was evidently not the object of the
murder, for all the property was found
intact. The baby was found outside the
tent, where it had laid all night in snow.
storm. The wounds are fearful on the man.
One cash extends from the center of the fore
head to the back, splitting the ear, another
directly across the eyes, and third from
over the left eye to the top of the head-all
the depth of the ak blade. On the womans
head are four horrible gashes-one on the left
temple extending down three inches, one ex-
tending from the chin to the forehead, one
from little above the meeting of the eye
brows around the head below the ear to the
back of the neck, and one in the back of the
neck, seyering the neck bone.

KING THBEBAU.


An unconfrmed report states that Thee
bau, King of Burmah, has died of small
pox. The death of the King of Burmah
would ordinarily be of noconsequencetothe
rest of the world, but in this case it would
signify the tardy removal of most bloody
and cruel wretch, whose life has been one
unbroken succession of hideous crimes, who
has been curse and terror to his subjects,
and a nuisance to his neighbors. tits there
fore to be hoped that the news of his death
is true, but the probabilities of its confrma-
ton are, we regret to say, slight, since it
is observable that people of his kind are
seldom taken out of the way, whereas
good people are ruthlessly extinguished.

ITEMS OF MINING NEWS.

The big nugget recently found near Ma
dera, Fresno county, was worth S707 A.
According to all reports operations at the
iron mines, a few miles above Auburn, in
the way of opening up that immense de-
post of natural wealth. are active. A
boarding house is being built, branch road
to the mine from the Central Pacific track
is being graded, and, if reports be true,
smelling works will be commenced at an
early day.
Recently meeting was held in Nam
moth City, Mono county, by miners and
residents of the town in general, to con-
slider the proposition discussed by certain
mining companies for reduction of wages.
The attendance was large, and the speeches
made and sympathy expressed were OPP
posed to any reduction. As the expense of
living in Mammoth is even greater than in
Bodie, anything less than 81 per day would
be very poor pay indeed. 1t was resolved
by the meeting that reduction be resisted.
The bonanza silver ledge of Shasta county
has been discovered at last, says the COu-
rier. A ledge of quartz from IS to 90 feet
in width, and traceable for a distance of
six miles, was discovered few days ago
by some of Potter's men while prospecting
on Iron Mountain, northwest of town.
The ledge runs through the land belonging
to Camden & Magee, on Iron Mountain,
and it is on their possessions that the pros
pecting has been done. Assays from the
ore give returns of from Sl60 to 5000 per
ton Outside of Camden & Magee's boun-
Diary, locations have been made by whole
sale, and great excitement exists in mining
circles hereabouts in consequence of the
discovery
Some parties working in this district,
says the Nevada Transcript, recently sunk
an incline and found good ledge. They
then went down into ravine near by and
started tunnel to reach the incline. After
running about $50 feet, they began to Won
der why the ledge was not encountered,
and had survey made. The survey found
that they had pushed the tunnel to within
some 40 feet of the ledge, then in making
a turn to avoid bad ground lost their bear
ings and started back nearly parallel with
the first portion of the drift. Had they
continued working in this manner few
days longer, they would have struck
ledge of daylight by emerging from the
face of the bank less than hundred feet
below the point where they started, and
thus had tunnel with double mouth
The boys feel badly sold, and say that
hereafter if they want to dig well even
they will first get surveyor to lay out the
work for them. A case similar to this,
only little more so, occurred in Dutch
Flat several years ago, and the miners
there laugh over it to this day.

ANCIENT QUARTZ WORKERS.

The Minneapolis Mimi Tribune of Feb
bruary ID, in giving the proceedings Of the
Historical Society there, says paper was
presented by Miss Frances E. Babbitt con-
sidering the subject of ancient quartz
workers, basing the conclusion upon the
discoveries of Professor Winchell at Little
Falls and surrounding points. At that
place the Professor discovered, in 1876, a
number of quartz chips which bore evidence
of having been cut from the parent rock by
the hand of man. He further concluded
that the quartz workers inhabited this
country before the mound-builders race !;
he found these chips in strata underlying
the mound building period. He there
fore fixes the era of the quartz workers
as that ending with the last glacial
period. 1t is often disputed, however,
whether these quartz remains belong
to a past glacial folk, or to co-glacial,
inter glacial or pre-glacial people, the
question being difficult to decide because
the remains found and noted by Professor
Winchell, which are surface deposits, are
so scattered and irregular. At Little Falls.
however, there have been discovered quartz
chips and implements occupying regular
strata in the earth. The remains consist of
hammers, implements, etc., both finished
and unfinished, together with the chips
struck off from the articles in the process of
manufacture. The material of which they
are composed is principally compact, lus-
trous quartz, frequently notified as if Sc
lected with an eye to the artistic beauty
The stratum is some few inches in thick
ness and lies in the soil few feet below
the surface. The appearances indicate that
this was once the site of mandatory of
such quartz objects, -and this idea is up
held by various considerations There
are tools found such as would be
used in the manufacture of quartz articles,
and the whole stratum is mixed with
quartz chips which in many cases appear
stuck in the dirt just as they fell from the
hand of the unknown. Unfinished imple-
ments are also found in more or less ad-
vanced stages of manufacture. 1t is not
possible to fix the precise point occupied by
these remains in the scale of the glacial
epoch until the drift features and surround
ing formations OF the locality shall be better
understood than now. Still, it is certain
that the remains belong to paleolithic peo-
ple-thatis, peopleliving before the end of
the last glacial period, because they are
deposited in drift which is known to be
of glacial origin. The hard pan upon
which the quartz formation lie is PROBABLY
of the first glacial period, and the quartz
may belong to an inter-glacial epoch.

TIE UNEAsINEss OF THE PORTE.

1t is reported that the Turkish Govern
ment is very anxious in regard to the
future Eastern policy of England, now
that the Liberals are in power. Remem-
bering the extreme energy of Mr.. Glad
stones oratorical treatment of "the un-
speakable Turk, short time ago, and his
firmly expressed belief that the expulsion
of the Ottoman race from Europe was a
necessity of the times, it is not surprising
that the Porte should feel uneasy. What
the Liberals will really do remains to be
seen, but it may be predicted without
much risk that their programme will be
far more conservative than were their
declarations when they were in opposition.
The responsibility attaching to the possess
sion of power necessarily compels
caution in such cases, and even
Mr.. Gladstone, with his theological
bliss and his tendency to fanaticism,
will doubtless pause before advocating Mr..
Freeman's short and easy plan of solv-
ing the Eastern problem by driving
all the Turks into Asia, bag and baggage.
Meantime the Turks appear to be drifting
so rapidly towards their Niagara that the
Western Powers may at any time find
themselves confronted with the necessity
of adopting some positive policy in regard
to the Ottoman Empire. The treasury of
the Porte is empty, no revenue is being
collected in the provinces, there is scarcely
pretense of government in the country,
and there are no resources left to fail back
upon. Under these circumstances it is
evidently possible that the Liberal Gov
eminent may at an early day be called on
to say what shall be done with Turkey,
and in such case it will be necessary for
Ministers to take decided position in re-
gard to Russia also. As the English people
are by no means reconciled to the great
Northern Power, this is likely to be a
very difficult and dangerous question, and
the adoption at such a moment of Mr..
Gladstone's peculiar views might produce
a serious weakening of the new govern
ment.

The FIshermcn's Strike.

ASTORIA, April 21st. = The fshermen's
strike still continues. About 500 convened
in Library Hall this afternoon. The cannery
owners were invited to discuss the question,
and seven Astoria canneries were represented.
Messrs. Leinenweber and John A. Devlin
addressed the meeting, and were allowed
fair hearing. They closed their remarks with
an emphatic and positive statement that it
would be ruinous to any canneryman to pay
60 cents for salmon, and expressed firm de-
termination to keep their canneries closed the
whole season rather than incur the loss which
must inevitably follow if they paid the prices
demanded. The fishermen then discussed the
question among themselves for three hours
The result of a vote by ballot for 30 or 60
cents was AL votes for GO and only IL for 90
cents, and there the matter stands In the
speeches of the fishermen they generally de-
precated any attempt to injure any individ-
uals or any property in order to carry their
point.

The Case of NOyIe. the Georgia Defaulter,
Carried 10 Higher COurt-suicide of
the Pris0ner-The Case Of Denis kearney.

Los ANGELES. April 21st.-S. r. Hoyle,
the defaulting Tax Collector from Georgia,
whose case has been SO prominently before
the people of two cities for the past month,
took his case out of the Supreme TO higher
court last night by committing suicide in his
cell in the Jail. BY some means he had been
furnished with bulldog revolver and about
IL o'clock, after writing letter to his counsel
and one to his wife, now in Alabama, lay
down in his bed and smoked cigar Without
giving the slightest hint or intimation of his
intention, he suddenly turned over and shot
himself, the ball passing entirely through the
body just above the heart, coming out at the
back. He lived about ten minutes, during
which time he conversed with his guard, who
was in the room at the time he shot himself,
and Mr.. Collier, the agent of the State of
Georgia. An inquest was held and verdict
returned according to the facts. On his
clothing being searched, watch. some money
and other valuables, aud a watch spring saw
were found, together with a dernger pistol
sewed up in his garments. 1t is still mys-
terry as to where he procured the weapon
with which he accomplished self-destruction.
An application was made to the Supreme
Court this morning for a writ of habeas
corpus for Denis Kearney, which was ordered
to issue, returnable to the Superior Court at
San Francisco, Judge Daingerfeld to desig-
nate the department of the Court to hear the
case. The Supreme Court granted the writ,
but declined to hear the matter.

and while the fever for decoration leads to
much that is merely gaudy, much waste of

compensation in the development of much
good taste, some real talent, and in the cul-
