THE MINING INSTITUTE.
An Interesting Session Yester-
day.

SrAUSroN, Va, May Sl.-At the open
ing Of the Mining Institute this morn
ing, Prof. Egleston read paper on the
"Ore Knob Copper Process" The
mines are in North Carolina. An inter
esting account Of the process OF reduc-
ing ore was given. Pig copper is ar
rived at in four operations. In connec-
tion with this subject, the Professor de-
liyered an entertaining lecture on the
properties and uses OF copper, and the
approved methods OF its production.
He believed that great wealth in copper
Law dormant in the South, which, II
properly worked, would be as profitable
AS lake copper. d,
Major Hotchkiss, OF Virginia, thanked
Prof. Esleston for drawing attention to
the copper deposits OF the South. Very
few persons are aware OF the great
wealth in this mineral with which Nir-
ginis abounds. Forty years ago Richard
TAYLOR made explorations and reported
on this class of ore. The only difficulty
in its development then was the lack of
transportation facilities. That atobjection
does not now exist. and this industry
may be expected to come prominently
to the front.

DUBLIN, May 3l.-A bailiff went to
serve writs on the property Of Mr..
Hutchins, near Mallow, County Cork,
on Saturday. Some women gathered
around and seized hum, destroyed the
wrts and then stripped him naked and
threw him into the river. They caught
him as he came out and thrashed him
with furze.. The unfortunate man, more
dead than alive, was then
Tsrred and Festhered
and hunted through the country. A
large party OF police went out from Nal
low to rescue him, but after securing the
country they were unable to find him.
On Saturday morning the head OF the
dragoon's horse which was killed in the
fight at Mitchelstown on Friday was cut
off and fixed on the top OF pole.
The pole was decorated with green paper
and Grape. Streamers were appended
to the head, and in the mouth was
placed piece Of paper bearing the fol-.
lowing words: Heres your reHt." 1t
was surrounded by crowd OF women
and children, who responded to the call
OF an old fellow for "Three cheers for an
English head on an Irish stick" The
head, with its appendages, was taken
possession OF by the police and brought
to the barracks. Elaborate preparations
are being made to renew the attempt to
carry out the New Pallas evictions this
week, but on what day is not known, as
the authorities keep all the dates OF their
movements strictly secret.

ATKINSON, rs, May Sl.-A bold and
successful robbery was perpetrated at 10
o'clock last night at Nortonville, town
on the Atkinson, Topeka aud Santa Fee

Three masked men entered the store oil
Mccarthy and Hogson, in which at the
time were Mccarthy, one OF his clerks,
two ladies and two little girls.
The robbers Immediately upon
entering drew revolvers and commanded
the inmates to keep quiet. One OF the
thieves then proceeded to the safe, one
took post at the door, and the third
kept guard over the occupants. While
the robbers were thus occupied, two oil
the clerks, who had been to the depot,
returned, and were at ounce taken
charge OF by the sentinel at the
door. The safe contained between
81 200 and 81, 400 in cash, and this the
robbers carried of. An iron box in the
safe contained about 1900. but the rob-
bers failed to effect an entrance
IN this. They worked silently
and quickly, ami ai'er securing the
money walked backwards out oil tho
store, warning the occupants not to look
outside for an hour or they would be
shot. Gaining the street the robbers
rode off south. Up to the present no
trace OF them has been discovered.

mains OF his wife, who had been buried
about six wears, and those OF his father,
who had been dead thirteen years. The
grave in which the fathers remains lay
Was first opened, when it was found
tha, nothing except the bare skeleton
remained. Then the wiie's grave, which
was less than two feet distant, was ex-
Cayated. Upon reaching the bottom
the startling discovery WAS made that

nothing remained Ui them but

VAS as hard as hint, and upon being
taken from the grave was found to weigh

woman during her life weighed about
40 pounds
The case has caused a good deal OF
interest 10 be manifested in the matter,
and, although the wise men OF the
