Lovers Woes.

A San Francesca maiden who
sighcs for some one to shield her has
twice been baked at the threshold of
matrimony. Two years ago she gave
her hand to a wealthy young lover
and the wedding day was fixed. A
week before the proposed marriage
the youth was taken to an asylum
for the insane. The about-to- be bride
recovered from the shock and dis
appointment and ut one of the Pacific
coast resorts last June accepted the
attentions of a batchclor of forty.
This man of middle age, whose heart
Cupid's darts had pierced, was re-
puted to be q wealthy merchant of
st. Louis, ID. w. Carey was his name,
and frequently during his moonlight
walks Mr.. Carey would tell his Fris-
co dear of the delightful home to
which she soon should go. The
young woman made all her prepare
tions for the wedding, her father pre-
senting her with a magnificent tros-
seau, and, indeed. until the morning
of the marriage day everything was
lovely. Then it was learned that the
bridegroom had disappeared. 1nqui-
ny developed the fact that he had ia
ken his baggage with him and anoth-
or fact that he had left his boardbill
unpaid. The young woman sat weep
ing on the sands of the quiet sea as
the reporter who stumbled on the ro-
nance hurried off to write over it in
big letters: Doomed to Celibacy."

chase money. The expressage on so
great a sum is so heavy that l
thought it safer to adopt this method
of carrying it through. knew very
well that if the robber found nothing
he would search our baggage, and so
played the role of informant and out
witted him.
On arriving at Leadville the lady,
who proved to be Mrs. Winnie Par-
dy, was presented with ST. 900 by the
agent.
Billy Leroy robbed stages till sew
en- months ago, when the United
States Marshals CHANGED upon him at
Denver, whittier he had gone to visit
woman with whom he had fallen in
love. Five policemen, two marshals
and secret service officer entered
the house with drawn revolvers, and
the bold knight of the road was ia
ken into custody. He was tried be-
fore Judge Hallet last winter, con
victcd of robbing the mails, and SEN
fenced to long term of imprison-
ment in the government prison at Dc
troit. He received his sentence cool
ly, danced a jig in the prisoners
dock, and loosely remarked that at
the expiration of his sentence there
would be no more stages to rob.
Something like two months ago,
Deputy Marshal Sim Cantril left
Denver with Leroy en- route for De-
troit. They went by the way Of the
Kansas Pacific railway, and on the
train was LeRoy's sweet heart and
one of the members of his band, who
had purchased tickets to Kansas
City, and were travelling together as
man and wife. During the night,
when the marshal was in the toilet
room and all in the car were sleeping,
the colleague and sweet heart took
off LeRoy's handouts, hastily dressed
him in suit of woman's clothes and
he took the seat lately occupied by
the woman, she going to another
quarter of the car. Then the col
league raised the hue and cry that
the prisoner had escaped. The train
was nearing Hays City, Kansas, and
ut that point she descended from the
car, while Leroy and his man went
on to Kansas City.
Leroy was next heard from near
Del Norte, robbing stages, and his
capture and lynching quickly fol-
lowed. The woman he so madly
loved resides in Del Norte, and prob
ably it was his infatuation for her
that caused him to haunt that vicin-
ity, and which led to his shocking
death. During Billy LeRoy's border
life he committed no less than eight
known murders, and these atrocious
deeds may form the basis of another
letter.

THE WORLDS CROPS.
Reports from the Different
Countries ON the Globe.

LONDON, August 23.--The volume
of reports on the harvcsts of the diff
ierent countries throughout the world
brought out annually, is now being
issued.
The reports of the wheat crop In
France are this year from over q
large area, and indicate better crop
than last year This years barley is
not so good as in 1880, but it is fair
ly good. Maize is very ordinary.
Oats and rye are fair. On the whole
the crops are not up to those of last
year, but wheat is not much below
the average. None of the crops will
be very bad, but none will be very
good.
The crops in Great Britain are des-
cribed rs follows: Wheat, ten per
cent. below the average, and likely to
realize only 100000 quarters; bar
ley, ten per cent. above the average,
and oats twenty per cent. below the
average. The year is ono in which
the farmers are not likely to recon.
pense themselves for losses during
the past five years.
In Austria aud Hungary crops arc
good all round. Wheat and barley
are both above the average. Rye il
very much and oats slightly under
the average.
Reports from Italy agree that crops
arc Of medium quality and much be-
low the abundance of those Of 1880.
In the Turkish provinces. on the
Danube, the wheat harvest will be
medium. Rye good and abundant.
Barley good, as regards quantity,
but bad rs regards quality. Oats is
very much above the average.
All reports from Russia agree that
barley is the best crop of the year,
doubling that Of 1880 in quantity,
but not so plump and wcighty. Rye
is abundant.
Wheat is good throughout Gcrma-
ny. Winter and spring sowings are
in marked contrast, the former yield
ing good and the latter very deicc-
tive crops. Oats arc very good; bar
ley thin. None of the crops are Of
the Average.
In the Prussian States crops are
fair.
The Swiss wheat crop is very poor
in quantity, owing to drouth, but in
quality it is very fine. Oats and
barley good in quantity and quality,
but there is small area sown of the
latter.
Belgian wheat is far below the avr
crage, barley good; rye and oats
fair.
All crops in Spain are bad.
All cereals In Holland are in good
condition.
All reports from the United States
agree that the yield will be under the
avcra ge.-IafeHigencer.

History Of thc Old Red Cent

AS the old fred cent" has now
passed out of sight, like the sold oak
en- bucket" its history is matter Of
sufficient interest for preservation.
The cent was first proposed by Rob
ert Morris, and was named by Jeffer-
son two years later 1t made its APP
pearance from the mint in 1892. 1t
bore the head of Washington on one
side and thirteen links on the other.
The French Revolution soon created
a rage for French ideas in America
which soon put on the cent instead
of the head of Washington the head
of the Goddess of Liberty--a French
Liberty. The chain on the reverse
side was displaced by the olive wreath
Of peace; but the French Liberty was
short lived, and so was her portrait
on our cent. The next head or fig
ure that succeeded this--the staid
classic dame with d fillet around her
hair-came into fashion thirty or for
ty years ago; her finely chiseled Gre
clan features have been but slightly
affected by the lapse Of time.

Moore, of the Rural Ne,c Yorker,
was sitting in his Office one afternoon
when a farmer friend of his came
in.
"Mr. Moore, l like your paper, but

ry to learn you arc SO hard run. |

"Wcll, then, let me see how we can

lieve?'
"Yes, a few; but they don't bring
anything hardly"
Don't they? Neither does my
paper bring anything hardly. Now

you go home you may select from

mine. Take good care of her and

the farmer chuckled as he went out
at what lie thought clever bargain.
He kept the contract stFietly, anil at
the end Of the year found that be hsd
paid about four prices for the paper.

and says that he has never had tho
cheek to say THAI he is too poor to

A WRITER in New York paper pre-
diets another financial panic at an
early day in the future, and bases it
on the large increase of railroad
building in all sections of the Union
and the general speculative mania
that everywhere prevails. He says
that the city of New York, which is
the money center Of the United
States, is also the storm center Of
panics, and that any attempt to re-
alize on any considerable portion of
the enormous amount of railroad
stocks held there would undoubtedly
cause a furry in financial headquar-
tiers that might swell into cyclone
like that which swept over the coun-
try in 1873. He says that more than
$lOO,OOO,00O has been raised in New
York city in the last year for absorp-
ton in the railroads of the ex-slave
States, and for the construction of
OF new lines in unsettled sections Of
the South. A similar amount has
gone into the far West, and hundreds
of miles of railroads will be built this
year through localities that cannot
support them for years to come; and
altogether the correspondent thinks
there is dark prospect ahead. We
do not share in these gloomy predic-
tions, because the present prosperous
condition Of the country and the
sound financial status of the whole
people inspires hope rather than fear,
and yet, perhaps, the voice of the
croaker is needed as check upon
extravaganza and wild speculation

The Outlook In Mason Valley

The Mason Valley rsnchers expect
that, if the weather does not get too
warm and cause a general tbawing of
the snow in the mountains early in
the season, they will have the best
crop ever harvested in the valley.
Some OF the ranchers have already
sown their grain, and Others are SOW
ing now. The alfalfa is a month
ahead of last year, and feed in gen
eral Is two months ahead.

THE CARSON AND COLORADO.
Interesting Happenings Along this
New Railroad.

During the past week the work of
laying the track of this new railroad
has progressed at the rapid rate of
mile and quarter to mile and a
half per day. The track is now laid
to a point sixty-tive miles beyond
Dayton, and seventy from the Mound
House, the initial station If the road.
Six Car loads OF iron, twelve of ties,
and one of provisions and supplies
leave Dayton daily for the end OF the
G. & G. track.
A new locomotive was accepted
last Wednesday, after trial trip
from the Mound House TO Churcbil
Canon. This locomotive is No. 3,
and is named Colorado. No. /,
which has been in use since the com
menceulent of tiacklaying, is called
the Candelaris. BsllevilIe No. will
be the passenger locomotive. No
locomotive of the new road has been
named Dayton because there is To-
connective bearing that name on the
V. g. T. X. Il.
The engineer and hands of the
construction train saw Walker Lake
from the cab Of the engine fol the
first tine last Tuesday evening. 1t
was about Z O'clock, and, although
many miles away, the train hands
could see the reflection of the stars
ON the surface of the lake. They say
that it was most beautiful sight.
Men have been at work since last
Tuesday on the bridge at the second
crossing of the Walker. This bridge
will be completed by Wednesday,
and the rate of progress from that
time on will be increased to two
miles per day.
The Colorado Ne. 3 will probably
be put in actual service day, and
will thus enable the company to run
heavier trains-of which one will he
run each way daily.
The Wabuskans object 20 the pro-
posed two towns on the line Of the
railroad in Mason Valley. They say
that one town this side of the FIRST
crossing of the Walker will accom-
modate all the traffic of that section
for years to come, and that side
truck is all that is required between
the two crossings.
"Hock" Mason objects 10 the pro.
posed town Of Mason being located
on his land, because he would then
he compelled to fence in the roads
leading ~ it through his ranch.
Forty acres of hand near Hook
Mhson's ranch have been located by
the railroad company, for the site of
the proposed town Of Mason.
