81, 600 was offered - . reward for hia
discovery or the finding of his body. A
Leicester detective, named Smith, went
to Russia and Germany, and finally
succeeded in finding . body in tho
Rhine bearing certain marks which
were known to exist on MIR. Stanley.
This body was recognized by an inn
keeper as that of an unknown traveller
who had not paid his hotel expenses,
but had left his Jewels as security for
payment. These jewels were recog-
nized as those of Mr.. Wynn Stanley,
and some handwriting was also sworn
to by his valet. All the private marks
on the linen, however, had been cut of,
and although there were grave grounds
for doubt, it was generally believed that
Mr.. Wynn Stanley had committed sui
eide. 1t is now asserted that while in
France he was married to q French
lady to whom it was known he had an
attachment, and it is son of this al
legged marriage that is now put forward
as the heir to the estates near Leicester.
What lends additional interest to the
case is the fact that few months ago
Leicester Workingman's Land So
ciety purchased with the consent of the
Court of Chancery about six acres of
land for cottages from Mr.. Carlyon, in
to whose hands the estates have passed,
at cost of f2,O4O, and the purchase
being not quite completed they are in
great difficulty what to do under the
circumstances. The society have taken
the opinion of Mr.. Rigbye, Q. c., upon
the question, and he thinks that under
the peculiar circumstances the Court Of
Chancery would consent to have the
sale annulled. Meanwhile the sisters of
Mr.. Stanley have made declaration to
the effect that to the best of their knowl-
edge and belief he is dead, and that he
was not married in England.-Lirerpoo!

4 Sensation at q Wedding.

YESTERDAY afternoon q well-known
man led to the altar ut st. Johns
Church on Dryads Street a fair bride, in
the presence of host of friends of both
parties, and the ceremony of marriage
proceeded until interrupted by the en-
trance into the church of closely-veiled
woman, who carried q child in her arms.
She staggered rather than walked up the
center aisle, and stood Immediately
back of the contracting parties until the
officiating father asked the question,
"Does any one object to this marriage?"
when the woman threw her veil aside,
and stepping in front of the bewildered
groom exclaimed, 81 do" Then, turn
ing, she stopped and laid the child she
carried at the feet of the groom, saying,
"Here is your child. You are my hus-
band. l am lawfully your wife, and
you shall not marry this woman" OF
course everything was in the greatest
confusion in a moment. The groom
and his friends ragged; the bride wept;
the accusing woman flew at her be-
trayer, and would have torn his clothing
into sheds had not an officer hurried to
the scene of the frantic struggle and
carried the infuriated woman from the
church by main force. during which time
her screams and denunciatiOns were ter
rife. The ceremony then proceeded
quietly to a close. The woman who
created the disturbance stated the groom
of yesterday and the husband of to-day
has led her to believe for the past four
years that she was his lawfully welded
wife, and laboring under that belief had
lived with him, but some time ago he
began series of neglects which termin-
ated in a separation, and total desertion
on his part of both herself and their
helpless child. She is in q state of alb
solute despair, and almost mad with
grief. The story of the girl is sad one.
She said she was a green, unsophisti-
Gated girl when she met her fate in the
shape of the man who was married on
Wednesday. He was then employed as
an officer at one of the lake resorts. She
had accumulated some 5000 or $500,
and this she had lavished on the one she
firmly believed to be her husband. He
was wont to show her what he alleged
to be marriage certificate, and happy
in the thought she forbore asking ques-
tons, satisfied in his truth and trusting
to his honOr.-NeU Orleans Special 70

Glaring at o Sleeper.

THIRTY years ago, one of the popular
lecturers in this country was Henry
Giles, an Irish Unitarian clergyman.
Now, at an advanced age and paralyzed,
he is forgotten, save by those who pro-
vide for his wants. "TempletOn, the
Boston correspondent of the Hartford
Courant, tells the following anecdote of
the once noted man. "He was a man
of large self-esteem, and considerable
capacity of self-assertion, which stood
in the way of his success in the ministry.
l call to mind one incident which it was
nv fate to witness. Mr.. Giles was en-
gagged one summer Sunday to preach in o
town about ten miles from Boston. He
stood up in the pulpit to announce his
text. Exactly at the same moment, q
tired farmer, who occupied q conspicu-
GUS pew in front of the pulpit,
drew red silk handkerchief
from his pocket, deliberately spread
ing it over his own bald head
and forehead to protect them from the
flies, and resigned himself to slumber.
This was too much for the dignity of
Mr.. Giles. He stopped, shut his SER
mon, and began to glare at the somno-
lent parishioner. The latter rested in
serene Inconsistencies, while the rest of
the congregation looked to see how this
singular duel would end. The silence
became protracted, till all at once it ap-
peared to occur to the individual who
was the cause of it that it was worth
while to ascertain what it was all about.
He removed his handkerchief and looked
up, only to find himself fixed by the
gfittering eye of the preacher, and by
the eyes of everybody else! With .
convulsive start, he abandoned all
thought of nap that day, and the ser
mon went on. In fact, it was q pretty
lively congregation for hot Sunday

Sunken Island in Lake Michigan.

FROM Mrs. Josephine Graham we
learn some particulars concerning the
so-called " sunken island " in the vicini-
ty of Port du Morte deaths Door).
Mrs. Graham states that the island was
situated in Lake Michigan, about five
miles southeast of Rock Island, and
known as "Little Gull" because of its
whiteness and appearance of gull at
long range. The island was irregular
in shape, being about fifty feet in width
by one hundred feet in length; was en-
tirely formation made of small stones,
ranging from the size of walnut to
rocks weighing several pounds. By no
means was the island place of vegeta-
ton, for not even grass grew upon it.
In the summer of 1916 or 1847 Mr.. Ora
ham built q fish shantv or house on
"Little Gull" to be handler to his nets
that were set "outside." Into the small
fish palace on the island of sea pebbles
Mrs. Graham went and cooked for her
husband during the summer months,
but, as fall approached and old Michi-
gan began to froth, the inhabitants OF
Little Gull +" returned to Rock Island,
where terra frma was more extended.
uC uCAI SCtbSOu AAttlO uul1 was tOO
small to even "squat " on-having d.
minished good deal during the winter.
It continued to grow smaller each year,
and long years ago disappeared below
the surface of the water. Then the spot
was referred to as tho "outside shoal."
Still the work of going down. contin-
ued, and small sail crafts of light draft
could navigate over the shoal. A few
years ago the water over the shoal was
of depth sufficient to hide the appear
ance of a shoal, and large steamer
suffered heavy loss by grounding on
the bar. To-day the once dry island is
covered by fathoms of water. By the
superstitious it is claimed that the dis
appearance of Little Gull Island is a
mystery, and that the neighboring
islands have also settled number OF
feet. Landmarks prove the latter state
ment untrue, while the mystery connect
ed with the " sunken island does not
seem to be difficult to solve. The fact
that the little island was entirely
formed of small stones-unquestiOnab
heaped up by the seat does not seem
to suppose that the same
power that rolled the stones up could
also level or roll them down AGAIN.

Another Claimant Pulling England.

QUITE q sensation has been caused in
Leicester by the announcement that q
gentleman has appeared claiming to be
heir to the estates of Mr.. Wynn Stan
ley, who some eighteen years ago
mysteriously disappeared while he was
High Sheriff of Leicestershire. The
case is enshrouded in great obscurity,
but it appears that, in consequence of
some family disagreement, Mr.. Stanley
left Leicestshire suddenly, telling his
mother that she would never see his face
again. He was traced to France, and
his relatives raised 10000, which was
given to him while there to provide for
bis wants. He, however, again disap-
peared very suddenly, and it was sub
sequently discovered that he had un-
wisely intrusted the 100000 to several
gentlemen, and it was lost in an unfor-
tunate agricultural speculation. All
trace of Mr.. Stanley was lost, and

EX-SENATOR SPENCER.

Ex-senator Spencer is a man with a po-
litical biography on record in legislative
inquiries and Court proceedings. II Mr..
Garfield wants it reprinted to the disgust
of the country and the harm OF the Tiepnb-
lican party, he will make Spencer Second
Assistant Postmaster General, as the New
York Tribune correspondent at Washing
ton reports he is likely to do.
The above is from the Springfield Re-
publican. 1t cannot be denied that the
Eastern press has said some harsh things
of ex-senator Spencer in times past. The
appearance Of the individual does not in
dictate that he is ca bad man," On the
contrary, he creates a most favorable i'm
preston on personal contact. Indeed, he
seems to be a gentleman of great candor
and honesty. He has resided in Eastern
Nevada for the past two years, carrying
on mining operations in an unobtrusive
sort of way at Osceola. The mails in this
section of the State have been badly
broken up and demoralized under the
pretense of furnishing the Star Route con-
tractors. The people are the real suffer-
ers. Ex-senator Spencer is familiar with
our wants, and the SENTINEL would be
glad to see him step into Brady's shoes.
We would as soon trust him to do what
is right as any other Republican who is
likely to get the place. He would at least
treat the mail service intelligently in
Nevada.

MINING.

Hydraulic mining in California is re-
ceiving a good many blows from the
a~griculturists of the valleys. The debris
question is one that will not go down.
The endorsements will grow year by
year. 1t occurs to the SENTINEL that
there is but one sensible solution Of the
subject. 1t is not right to destroy the
valley lands; neither is it right to render
the property of the hydraulic miner
worthless. The State ought to appoint
a commission of competent men and
appraise and buy the hydraulic land.
Every acre of this soil is worth more for
the culture Of fruit and wine than the
gold which it contains. Suppose the
whole area to be worth one hundred
million. The State would get the most
Of this outlay back by the sale of the
land for other purposes. Purchase and
slow bonds is the remedy. 1t would
require years to transform the placers
into vineyards and fruit gardens, but the
State would be vastly better of once
the work had been accomplished. In
any event something in the direction
indicated is the only practical, and at
the same time equitable way to get at
the subject with q view to permanent
settlement
