SERIOUS EXCHANGE OF sATcn1s.

Some little time since r. A. Rid>
die, a married man, arrived 10 Dem
yer with view Of looking up some
profitable mining investments. In
order to be ready to take advantage
Of any fortunate chance, Mr.. Riddle
brought with him fifty thousand dol>
lars in government bonds, and one
or two other Thousand dollars in the
way of poclSe. money, Mr.. Riddle
was q gentleman of social habits,
fond of making new acquaintance,
and not indifferent to seeing every.
thing there was to be seen in Den"
yer, and lie forgot all about mining
and other business, and devoted
himself to having good time. One
evening, however, the main object
Of his visit pressed upon his mind,
and he raid his hotel bill, put his
fifty thousand dollars of government
bonds in a gripsack, and was rapids
Iy conveyed by carriage to the Un-
ion depot short time before the
LeadviIle train was to pull out.
Il SC. happened that Mr.. Joseph
Cheney a travelling representative
of several Kansas and st. Louis bus.
ness firms, had made arrangements
to 20 Lesiville by same train, and
he reached the Union depot about
the same time a. Mr.. Riddle, and
with q gripsack that locked the
twin brother Of that belonging to the
latter gentleman. In some strange
way the gripsscks were changed,
and Mr.. Riddle was on his way to
LeadVille before he discovered the
mistake. The only thing about the
gripsAck to indicate that had an
owner was the card of E. P. Hudson
of Kansas City. Flying back to
Denver, Mr.. Riddle sent out dis
patches on every line asking fran~
tically, for "E P. Hudson" But
no +. p. Hudson could be found.
When Mr.. Cheney went to bed
that night be looked into bis grip
sack for q nightshirt and found the
$4,000. He went down stairs,
,elegraphed to the frantic Riddle in
Denver, and everything was made
right. - Denver Col. News.

The LOCAL PAPER.

What tells us so readily the stan
dard of town or city, aa the APP
pearance Of lie paperi The enter
prise of it's citizens is depicted by it's
advertisements, their liberali,y by
the looks of the paper. Some pa
pers show good, solid, healthy
foundation, plethoric purses, and a
we'll to do appearance generally ;
others show striving to contend
with the graspine thousands around
them, trying hard to wrench out an
existence from the close listed COM
munity in which they have "a local
habitation and name" 54 g
But it should always be generous
ly supported by its town and county
people, because it is their interest as
we'll as duty to do SO. The local pa
per talks for its people when other
localities abuse or belle them. The
interests of paper and people are
kindred, and must rise or fall togeth,
err. Therefore you should support
your home paper; not grudgingly,
but in a liberal spirit as a pleas
ure, rot disagreeble duty /; and as
an investment that will amply repay
the expenditure.

mass, and fiually made into paper.
Two or three men own the patent

DEATH DEALING SPIDER. Our
readers will remember the peculiar
circumstances of young Fsrnum's
death which occurred at Hawkins
vile las. week. Apparently in vig>
orous health, he was stung by a
spider, or some poisonous insect, on
the lip, and in a very short time
brsathed bis last in the most horri-
BILE agony. His father, a prominen .
physician of Dawson, was present,
and assisted in bleeding the sufferer
to relieve the swelling. A small
abrasion on the finger Of the doctor
is said TO have retained some of the
virus, aud his whole right hand and
arm are now swollen out Of all pro-
portion, and we learn that there are
grave approximations as to his case.

TWO SAD sroRIns.

Richmond, Virginia, and Astoria,
New York, contribute two sad chap
tiers to current history. The Rich
mond story is the old, old one Of the
cruel betrayal Of young woman
By a plausible rufhan. 10 the early
part Of this month the young woman
whose widowed mother keeps a
boarding house, aud who was in
search Of some honorable employ
ment, CHANGED to read 10 the Hart
ford Cburchmau az advertisement
for q governess to take charge Of
young child of widower. She at
once applied by letter TOR the posi>
ton, at the same time forwarding
letters of recommendation from an
eminent judge and a distinguished
Episcopal divine Of Richmond. 10
answer 60 the application the adver-
tiser came in person to Richmond,
and represented himself as Mr..
Thomas Marvin, wealthy widow
from the West. He expressed such
satisfaction with the beautiful chars
acter given of the young woman
that be said be had come on at once
to secure her services. He remain
ed there several days, and the re
suit Of his visit was that, instead Of
governess, he won bride, upon
whom, before their marriage, he
settled $4,000, the contract being
drawn up by the judge who had 10
part been the cause Of bringing the
parties together. The marriage
took place last week. 1t now turns
out that Marvin is a forger, and
married the young lady to cover his
crimes. He deserted his bride aud
escaped 'to Canada. The cruelty
betrayed girl is almost deranged.
The Astoria case is this: On the
evening of June 22d last Mr.. Chas.
Wesley Ayers was married to Miss
Hattie Cole, at the residence of the
brides parents, 10 Astoria. 1t was
one of the most fashionable we'd.
dings of the season in Astoria. The
couple, on returning from their we'd
ding tour, on July lst, occupied q
suite Of rooms at the Thorburn
House, 10 Astoria. 10 short time
il became apparent to the other
guests 10 the house that something
was wrong. Mr.. Ayers was disin-
clined to social enjoyment, and kept
himself i Ss!uded, while his wife was
fond Of eeayety. '.'
A week ago Ayers declared his
intention to go and live 9th his
wife's parents. She declined, say
ing that when she left them she was
sure she was to have home of her
own. Mr.. Ayers declared that be
would carry out his intention, and
thereupon bis wife doomed her walk
ing costume and went away, le&v-
Jog her wedding ring behind. Mr..
Ayers went to his fathers residence,
near by. The parents of the young
couple had consultation, with
view to bringing about a reconcilis
ton, but to no purpose, as both Mr..
and Mrs. Ayers declared that they
would not live together again. As
Mrs. Ayers grew worse, her sanity
was questioned, and finally Drs.
Track and Taylor W re called to
examine into her mental condition.
They pronounced her of unsoond
mind, and il was decided to send
her to the asylum at Bloomiugdale.
She Is twenty-five years old. aa

A man named Williams was ar
rested in Wilmington, N. c., for the
murder of N. f. Cornwell. The
real murder is named Ross. The
resemblance between the two men
is startling. Both have scar over
the eye, the evidence of knife or
gunshot wound in the hip and
dyed moustaches. And, in fact, the
prisoner was heard on one occasion
singing song which bad formerly
been a favorite with Ross Rosa
has since been captured and brought

= There is quite stir in the treasury
department just now over another scan.
dal. new investigation is under way,
the result of which is looked forward 10 by
the employees interested with some anx
lety. 1t has been ascertained that the
secretary's decision relative to the heavy
call for bonds as yesterday got into the
hands OF u certain broker near the treas.
ury before the call itself had been pro.
mulgated. The depressed state of the
stock market made the exclusive infor.
nation handle upon which several
spectators sought to profit The usual
plan is to defer such calls until after
banking hours or publish them TO every.
body at once. 1t seems that several per
sons connected with the department
were in the room when the secretary
decided to issue the call. Some one of
these immediately conveyed the informa.
ton to the brokers' Office, on the corner
opposite the treasury, and it was tclc.
graphed TO Wall street. The secretary
is very indignant and has set 10 work TO
find out who furnished the information.
anu those innocent ones under suspicion
are very indignant that they are suspect.
ed. Ii is said that Mr.. J. X. Upton.
assistant secretary Of the treasury, is q
stockholder and officer of the banking
institution which got the inside track on
the news.
