Tanners Fast = Somewha Weak and
Irritable.
New YORK, July 24th.-Speaking of Dr.
Tanners former feat, correspondent from
Minneapolis says: "There was short-lived
sensation when the performance of his feat
was first announced, and another while his
proposed wager with DR.. Hammond gave a
business-like air to his vagaries. But in gen.
eral he was regarded as a mildly aggressive
nuisance, who bored the public too much with
his stomach, and newspapers too much with
his theories, incorporated in portentious rolls
of manuscript. None of Dr. Tanners friends
here talk any spiritualistic nonsense, but ex-
plain his feat on purely physical grounds.
His ex-wife, as well as the doctors, believe he
will succeed In his present attempt. She has
great confidence in his energy and persever-
ance where his theories are concerned. though
she has apparently very little respect for his
efficiency In the practical affairs of life. 1t
is pretty certain, if Tanner does succeed. he
will seek to realize in some way upon the
notoriety he has gained, probably by lectur-
ing. After his last fast he made some tenta.
tive ventures into the field Of public favor
through the newspapers, but he had not cap
ltal enough of fame to start with, and had to
fall back upon keeping Turkish BATH"
Tanner is somewhat weaker and more irri-
table to-day. Early this morning he COM
planned of burning sensation in the stom-
ach, and was given two mouthfuls of hot
water, which relieved the distress. His phy.
sicians think it an unfortunate sign, but he
says that during his fast in Minneapolis he
often experienced the same sensation. He
enters the twenty seventh day of the fast
with no other marked change in his condi.
ton.
This evening DIR. Tanner was better, chat.
ting with reporters Oh Spiritualism, and civ.
ing his views thereon. He seemed lively and
cheerful. He did not take his usual after
noon drive, and retired at $50 His weight
was 1904 pounds, temperature 9S, pulse "a
Duties of Federal MarshaIs.
WASHINGTON, July 24th-First Comp.
troller Lawrence has issued the following CIR.
cular to U. S. Marshals "In the Appro-
priation Act of June 80, 1879. the expenses of
transporting convicts from one Judicial Dis.
trict to another. and the expenses OF salaried
officers of the Government attending Courts
as witnesses on behalf of the United States,
were classed among the miscellaneous ex-
penses of the Court This caused a change
in the established mode of accounting for said
expenses. In the Appropriation Act of June
ID. 1885, providing for the expenses of the
Courts during the present fiscal year, the
Items OF miscellaneous expenses are not
specified. This seems to indicate on the part
OF Congress an intention to leave the classifi.
cation of them to the officers of the Executive
Departments, and the accounting officers
have concluded to resume the former method
of adjustment. After June 80, 1880, Mar
shals will charge on their accounts for fees of
witnesses, the expenses of the Govern.
ment salaried officers who attend Courts
as witnesses on behalf of the United States,
and will render with their accounts vouchers
tor payments paid for the stated items and
sworn TO as the law requires. Fees and ex-
penses incurred after said data in the trans
portation OF all prisoners are to be charged in
the accounts for fees and expenses of Mar
shals. Marshals who are required to remove
convicts from their own districts to prisons in
other districts, should obtain the approval of
the Attorney-GeDeral to their bills of ex-
,penses before including themin their accounts.
This Office has been informed that in some
instances guards have been used where there
was no necessity for them, and that in other
instances guard-hire has been charged when
guards were not il. fact employed. No con-
struction of the law will justify sucn charges.
Guard-hire Is not gratuity, but is only
chargeable when guards are necessary and
when they are actually employed"

was to-day elected President of the San
Pedro and Canyon del Aqua Company, which

which is now complete and in operation to
and beyond tt a. poiu'. The company grants
contain 1900 acres of land This
property" said Colonel Grafton, "was
brought to my attention during the late
war. In last October l learned it was in the
market, and l secured an option of it. I
sent an engineer to examine it and to report
upon it, and after receiving the reports pre-
sented the matter to Mr.. Ballou, of Boston,
who at once determined to organize COM
pany for the purchase of the property, pre-
vided the reports made by my engineers were
confirmed by his. We were fortunate in
securing the services of Colonel Gillette to
examine the property, and after receiving his
report we visited it. and the purchase by Mr..
Ballou was consummated. and the company
orgapized. Copper, silver and gold were
found upon it, and the mines were worked
extensively in 1889 and 1S42 by Mexicans,
who carried their water for washing on the
backs of donkeys. Hydraulic engineers have
been employed by the company to bring water
from the Sandia mountains to the placer
mines. The work will be completed about
the LIST Of October. A large smelling estab-
lishment, for the reduction of the silver, will
be erected and in operation by that time"
