The date of the hanging is Thursday, May 13. Raber was murdered by drowning in small creek on December 2, 1878. The murder originated with Brandt, who is one-armed man md was for years noted as an outlaw. He proposed the plot to Wise, Hummen and George zechnan, who joined him in conspiracy to first heavily in- sure old Raber and then have him put out of the way. The oonspirators agreed to pay Charles Drews $1, 800 of the insurance money for the death of Raber. Drsws agreed to carry out their wishes, and short time be- fore the old man was drowned had taken him to dam into which he had resolved to throw him. His courage failed him and Raber's life WAS saved. Drews was severely

 NEW YORK, March 21.-This morning Mrs Ann Mclaughlin, who had bsen drinking freely, ordered her stspdaughter Lizzie, ten years of age, to go for liquor. It being Sab bath day the child refused and no amount of harsh commands could drive her from this resolution.

He took the child from the infuriated woman and placed her with neighbors while he went for an off, cer. When the officer and Mclaughlin re- turned the woman threw her shoe at her hus- band and struck him in the eye, the lid of which was torn up by the heel of the shoe. The woman was taken to court, where the child swore that her stepmother threatened to kill her whom she used the knife on her. The stepmother, who is only twenty four years of age, denied using knife. The child had called her an ugly name and she took broom handle and struck her. The woman was held in default of bail.

Ireland's Misery---A DOlefuI Account
 NEW YORK, March 21. The Tribune's special London cable says Air. Rsdpatb, special correspondent, reports that the result of his personal investigation in Mayo confirms the worst accounts. Charity alone prevents famine equal to that of AT. The entire popu- lation in many localities have no food except ing an allowance of Indian meal from the re- lief committee. No work is to be had and potatoes intended for seed have everywhere been eaten. The funds already collected will enable committees to avert starvation until May, then the gravest results may be ex- peeted. Should contributions cease Govern ment measures are inadequate to the emer- gency. If outdoor relief were granted by the boards of guardians, persons wo are now able to support themselves would be paupsrized by extra taxation. Notwithstanding the frightful misery of the poorer tenants the landlords in the west are constantly issuing processes for their ejectnaent.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
Notes Regarding q Number Of Prop
critics.

The Rambler mine in Secret Canyon
shows a breast Of ore se~venty-four feet
wide, as far as it has been prospected. The
ore is low grade, but improving in quality
as depth Is attained. There are over one
hundred tons on the dump, most OF which
will pay to ship.
1t was reported in town yesterday that
the Seventy-six mine had cut two feet OF
two hundred and fifty dollar ore. The
rumor seemed to come straight, and we
have but little doubt Of its correctness.
Maurice Hartnett is sinking a shaft on
the Ganges. below the Ell Dorado, and has
taken out ore from the surface to the bot
tom Of the shaft, at a depth Of As feet.
John Erickson has been hauling ore from
the Grant mine for the past four days,
making two trips q day, and taking from
ten to twelve tons at q load.
John McNaughton and Ben Taylor are
getting some fine ore from the Williams
mine. and will make another shipment In
a few days.
Assessment work is being done on the
Daylesford, Young Matle and Dennis
mines, owned by Mr.. W. T. Leyshon and
partners.
The vein which was cut in the Piute last
week is continuing to widen, and is now
about four feet wide.
The Eureka Tunnel is now in 1880 feet,
the face being in stratiied lime.

A New York paper. reviewing the last
quarterly statement Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company. has the following:
The statement OF the Western Union Tele-
graph Company makes q somewhat remark
able showing. The estimates Of profits for
the previous quarter ending April 1, were
$97, SIT greater Than the amount really re-
ceived-a very unusual circumstance un-
der the present management. There is an
increase Of 81, 060, 900 in the net earnings
over the previous year, but the surplus
over that OF July l, 1879, Is only about
$40, 900. The construction account, which
IL described as that amount invested in
new property" is 81, $40, 900. 1t is q note
worthy fact that for many years the West
ern Union has been engaged in the "pur-
chase Of new property" and there is no
reason to suppose that the demand for in
vestments Of this kind hereafter will be
any less during the present year. Indeed,
the indications are that expenses, which
the company is pleased to place under the
head Of CONSTRUCTION account" or ''invest-
ments," will increase from year to year
with the Western Union, as long as 1t pur-
sues Its present policy.
