ANOTHER old settler gone. Thos.
Mitchell, died June 10th, in the Goth
year of his age. Mr.. Mitchell came
TO this country more than thirty
years ago and made Mineral Point
his home. Twice he visited the
gold fields Of the far west, and
secured some of its previous treas
ure that saved him from want in his
very long affection and leaves his
widow free from dependency.
AS a laborer, (he being ininer) he
was Industrious and careful as q
citizen, lawabidipg without con-
straint; as a neighbor, peaceabie and
kind as husband and father, very
tender and loving. Bnt it was as
a Christian he gained our highest
esteem. For more than sixteen
years he was a faithful member OF
the Primitive Methodist Church OF
the city.
Though afflicted for years, and
confined TO his bed for the last six
teen months he never murmured or
complained. Religion was his life,
it supported him under seyerest
pains, and in death it was his COM
fort. He was good man and has
zone to his reward.

Now steps to the front the "oldest
inhabitant' and pronounces Mon
days rain the heaviest ever witness
cd in these parts. He's not far from
right, either. At an early hour in
the forenoon the watery elements
let loose their contents with great
force. ard soon turned the meadows
and bottom lands into sea. SO quick
did the streams rise that the | | a. m.
train duo here could not proceed
much further than Calamine with
safety. Bridges were washed away
and the track covered with water,
and in several places shifted from
It's proper place. BY evening the
food had abated some and the train
came up as far as the old zinc furn-
ace, from whence the passengers
and baggage were run into the depot
on hand cars. The loss to the rail-
road company and owners of mill
dams is considerable, and almost
every farmer suffer more or less.

A POPULAR CANDIDATE.


Geo. w. Cassidy, Congressman elect
from Nevada, is popular at home-
Though editing strong Democratic
newspaper, he ran about four hundred
votes ahead of his ticket at home, and
he received some two hundred majority
in White Pine county, where he is also
personally known to many. 1t is sell
dom, indeed, that candidate for Con-
gressional honors in Presidential
campaign receives such evidences of the
esteem in which he is held by his po-
litical opponents as Mr.. Cassidy did
at Eureka last Tuesday, when several
hundred Republicans voted for him.

GARFIELD INJECTED.


1t is probable that New York has
gone Republican, and that Garfield is
elected President. We say probable,
because there is some doubt about it,
aad this doubt will only be dispelled
by the official returns. The Virginia
Chronicle gives up the contest, but the
Reno Journal of this morning is still in
doubt as to the result in New York.
Up to late hour last evening the As
ISOLATED Press claimed that Nevada was
close and that it would take the official
vote to decide the result, while private
dispatches showed that ths State had
gone for Hancock, by decisive MAORI
ty. The Associated Press is so parti-
Ban that even Republicans doubt its
reports. Notwithstanding all this, it
is tolerably certain that New York
elects Garfield for four years from the
4th Of next March. The World con-
cedes the State by $1,000 majority,

condemnation was expressed by the

TatrO's Execution-A Dramatic Scene
 on the Gall0vEG.
 WINDSOR, April 2.-Tatro was very nervous all night and did not go to sleep until three o'clock this morning, after which he slept well until seven o'clock, when he was woke up by the officers. He ate very little breakfast. He was provided with new dark suit of clothes which he wore to day. At one o'clock the main door to the guard room was opened and about seventy five persons were admitted, cop- sisting of friends, physicians and reporters. Tatro walked somewhat bent forward and with short and unsteady steps up the steps to the scaffold. He was immediately placed in 8 chair provided for him and Sheriff Stimson began to read the death warrant As the last words were read the voice of Sheriff Stimson was heard: Edward Tatro, have you anything to say ?' In answer Tatro flung his pinioned arms in the air, and facing Butler, the husband of the victim, bade him look at them. He then told Butler that his money caused the commission of the deed. Tatro then took his place over the drop, with his hands and feet tied with straps, and the moose was put around his neck by Sheriff Amsden, after which the black cap was drawn. At 2:05 p. m. Sheriff Stimson said: Edward Tatro, now pass upon you the full extent of the law, and may God have mercy upon your soul,'' and just at 2:O6 the sheriff stepped upon the spring and Edward Tatro was launched into eternity. He fell six feet and struggled hard for one and three quarter minutes. Tatro has left statement in which he claims that he knew nothing of the murder and that he was drunk at the time He does not, however, deny having commit ted the murder.

An Awful scene-shockIng Sight on
 the GauOyys-The Victims Head Cut
 off Clean.
 WASHINGTON, April 2.-J. RI. W. Stone, the wife murderer, was executed here to-day. The attending circumstances were sensational to the highest degree. Stone was awakened about 8. m and ate hearty breakfast. The morning was spent with two colored and one white minister, the Rev. Drs. Grimke, Rankin and Givens, in his cell, singing hymns and praying. He walked to the scsffold with manly bearing and rather defiant. By his re- quest the minister stated that Stone dled at peace with all the world, in the full hope of meeting his Savior. He was neatly dressed in black broadcloth, and bowed reverently during the prayer. He then bade good bye to those about him. The moose and black cap were adjusted and the spring touched He shot like @ flash through the trap, falling to the ground heavily. There was general cry of horror and intense excitement pre- vailed. Those nearest to the scafold then began to realize what had happened. His head had been cut from the body as cleanly as If done with an axe, and rolled two or three feet from the body. Blood squirted high on the uprights of the scaffold. Of course death was instantaneous. The rope was evidently amply stout enough to bear Stone, who weighed about 1SO pounds, and the drop was not too long, but he had 6 small neck for so large a body, and it is supposed this was the cause of the decapitation.
 The physicians were alone immediately all lowed to approach the remains, Dr. McWil- liams being the first to feel for pulsation in the corpse. Dr. Crook disopgaged the head from it's black envelope. The heart was found to beat for some five minutes and the lips moved slightly, barring the teeth. It was found that 0 remarkable clean cut just below the chin and passing close under the ears had severed the head just under the atlas or last verterbrae at the joint. An iron cot was procured and the body placed on it while Doctors Carroll, Morgan and Crook under the direction of Dr. MeWilliams
