The Report notes another case of an at
tempt to send men into the Attic regions
with unwholesome meat:
1t was quite lucky that the car load of
canned goods sent on for the use of the
Rodqers was examined on its arrival here or
else the expedition might have met the fate
of former party of explorers who lost
their lives by depending upon canned food,
which was found to be utterly worthless.
Captain Berry does not blame the con-
tractor, but that gentleman would have
made large sum had the Rodgers sailed
with his canned goods which sum now he
will not make. Some of our merchants will
make it instead.
The contractor who furnished the meat
deserves hemp if any man ever did.

for America, coming as it does SO soon
after the winning of the Derby by an Amer
can horse. The stakes of the Grand Prix

$35, 900. OF this have telegraphed to my
agent to give s., 800 to the jockey and 81

the money will go to men who have had no

our glory has been enhanced by the winning

The five thousand creditors of Arch
bishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, stand very
slim chance Of getting any of their money
back-they lost s4.00O,0OO. Through the
assignee they have sued for the sale of the
church property of the diocease, in salts
faction of their claims 1t appears, how
ever, that bishop. under the cannon law,
holds church property in trust for his con-
gregations and connot divert it to pur-
poses other than intended by its donors
This saves the congregations, but ruins the
creditors, whose only hope was the sale of
the church property.
John Burke seems determined that the
mercantile firms of San Francisco shall pay

leading firms in that city. Burke has
taken the amount at which these firms are
assessed for taxation and placed in an op-

at which they are assessed are far less than

Young Pugh'S Pate.

OF GANG OF DISGUISED ROCGHS.
special dispatch from Ell Paso says: Lieut..
Noel GillaridO, of the Mexican army returned
with fifty soldiers on Sunday from a hunt after
the Apaches. He reports that on the eth inst.
six leagues south Of Lucer. he found the dead
bodies of a man and woman. A cornet-payer
of the 26th battalion was killed and two SER
wants wounded. but escaped. The Indians
burned the carriage and took the horses. The
people who went from the carriage to bury the
body of the stage driver found the body of
Thomas X. Pugh terribly mutilated and shot
three times"
WAS He THE VICTIM OF DISGUISED ROUGHs?
A special to the Cincinnati Enquirer from Dem
yer. July 10th. says: Rumors now current i'm
New Mexico indicate that the capture last week
of Thomas X. Pugh, of Cincinnati. near FL PasO
is assuming an extremely sensational character.
1t is not supposed now that he was captured by
the Apaches at all, but by gang of Williams dis
guised as Apaches. who had a motive to put
him out of the way. 1t is known that young
Pugh had secured contingent claim of the
Mexican government upon twenty miles square.
or four hundred square miles of land. together
with fifty thousand head of cattle, for which he
was to pay specific sum at the end of a time
designated. Mr.. Pugh got all his papers eX
ecuted properly, and went to New York and
put the matter into the hands of a broker
to sell for him. 1t is believed the land
is not only good for grazing purposes. but is
rich in the precious minerals. Mr.. Pugh is re-
ported to have secured the services of Henry
Altman, a broker in New York City. to sell this
Mexican claim for him. After perfectng arrange
ments with his broker, Mr.. Pnsh proceeded at
once TO New Mexico and, arriving az FL Paso.
was astonished to find Altman there before him.
1t is Iumored that Altman was trying to negO-
tate for Pugh's claim and beat him out of it and
that Pugh before taking the stage i'm which he
was captured had high words with Altman. 1t
is also further regarded as incredible that the
ApachoS WOuld allow him to drop q letter in the
road saying, II have been captured by the
Apaches." And it is believed that such an act
is suppOsable only of disguised robbers who had
purpose and motive for taking his life and
meant to do it. These rumOrs are rife now and
most searching investigation will verify or dis
pel them

A YOUNG WoMAN's FATE.-A telegraph to the
New York Herald from Prospect House. Niagara
Falls, Ont, July II, says:-TO-day the body of
an unknown woman was found floating in the
river just below the American Falls. 1t has the
appearance of being that of a dark complex
Toned young LADY, about twenty years of age'
finely formed, and having beautiful long dark
hair. The body was destitute of clothing, ex::
cept an undergarment, pair Of red stockings
and low cut shoes. A plain gold ring encircled
the third finger of the left hand. The corpse
was in perfect state of preservation, showing
that it had not long been in the warter. 1t is
hardly possible that the deceased had come over
the falls, as no body has yet been found that
came over either falls without having been more
or less badly mangled by the rocks and the
heavy weight of water falling upon it. Still
there is no reason to believe it got into the
water from the bank below, consequently the
case remains mystery The body is in the
hands of the authorities, and an inquest will be
held tomorrow.

THE COMET Nor DIvIDED.7A telegram from
Rochester, July IL, says: Professor Lewis Swift,
of the Warner Observatory, says that it is the
opinion of astronomers generally that the comet
now seen is identical with the one discovered in
Brazil on May 80, the news of which was cabled
to Europe by Dom Pedro. 1t is probably new
comet, although Professor Chandler, of Cam
bridge, who computed its orbit, found it to differ
little from that of the comet of 1907. There is
no division of the comet. Letters claiming the
discovery and the Warner prize of $500 continue
to come in by the hundred. These letters are
being carefully examined, and it is expectedthat
the announcement of the prize award will soon
be made.
