W0MAN'S TRIUMPH.
a-re1 vwitho1t taking Ether. Subject
Mrs. Edward Myers, Of Rondout,
M. ".

From the Correspondence Of the Kingston, \. i.
Freeman.)
The case of Mrs. Edward Myers, OF Ron
dout, New York, furnishes an apt illustration
of woman's power of endurance. This lady
had been treated for months in the usual way
for Erysipelas of the hand, without beneft.
Not until her hand had become mass OF pu-
trified flesh, did she turn to DIR. Kennedy,
proprietor of the "Favorite Remedy, for
help.
He at once informed her that it was lmpos-
sible to save the hand-it must be amputated'
She received this terrible intelligence quietly
declining to take ether, STIMULATING merely to
hold her husbands hand during the operation,
and underwent the painful process without
moving muscle or uttering groan Dr.
Kennedy then gave "Favorite Remedy free
" to cleanse the blood and prevent the return
of the disease, and Mrs. Myers now lives and
rejoices in her great deliverance.
''Favorite Remedy is fast becoming
trusted household friend in all cases of Fe-
male Weakness and diseases of the blood.

men, and commanded by Captain j.
L. Godfrey, entered our port yeser-
day and dropped anchor at Odd Fell
lows Hall. The dayton" is three
master, full rugged, and capable of
holding a large number of presents,
which she will receive at her present
anchorage. The Captain and crew
of the Dayton" are anxious to get
their cargo aboard, and desire those
having any freight to ship to bring
the same immediately, as a reception
has been rendered them, which is to
commence at half past seven o'clock
D. m FAST TINE. After the receipt
ion certain presents are to be dis
tributed to those present. aud then
dancing will commence. A cordial
inv. itation is extended by the com
mittee to every poison residing in
or about Dayton to be present ON this
occasion as everything is free.

sisters te the young wife's children,
as they are to the lstter's mother,
who thus becomes the neice of her
husband. The children of tine young
wife are the nephews and nieces, and
also the step-children of their grand
mother, who being married to their
father, makes him also their grand
father. There we're other changes,
one of which came very near making
the relator his own great aunt, but
our informant could follow the tor.

combinations are the only ones that
we are able to clearly relate. There
is Saint in Gentle Valley who is
married to q mother, daughter and

that he heard about a dozen persons
in the hall of the Court house, near
the door that enters into his room i.
A sledge hammer smashed the door
panels, and several men with masks
of white Gotten cloth entered his
room. Four revolvers and double
barrelled shot gun were leveled at
him and the key of the Jail demand
ed. They found it in his pocket and
unlocked the Jail door. All went to
the prisoners cell except the man
who continued to cover the jailer
with the shot gun. The sledge ham
mer failing to open jennings cell,
the bunch of cell keys was found
after search in the Sheriff's office.
Then the doomed man was led, with
a hide lariat fitted to his neck,
from his cell to the platform before
the front door of the Courthouse.
The lariat neck tie was attached to
hemp rope suspended from the
balcony over the door. Before he
was drawn up Jennings said: "Oh,
my God, boys, l guess l deserve this"
The masked men retired. Their
work was done.
News that Jennings was hung
spread among the saloons then open.
A crowd gathered before the Court
house. Coroner Laughlin arrived,
cut the raw. hide lariat and had the
body taken into the Sheriff's office.
A doctor was summoned, but on his
arrival Jennings was pronounced
dead. The verdict was in accord
ance with the facts.
Thus an example has been made
of Jennings which will be terror
to evil doery. The pistol should not
be drawn on trivial occasions, in pet
ty quarrells. Let shooting OF good
aud popular citizens by bid men,
without Lause, be forever stopped by
takingPa lesson from Jennings pun
ishment and he will not have been
hung in vain.

Suicide at Hutch's Canyon.

Last Monday morning about hall
past FIVE o'clock, says the True Fis-
sure of the 17th, the report of pis-
toll was heard above the noise made
by the Indian Queen mill, situated at
that place. Investigation led to the
discovery that an employe named
Meurer had shot himself in the right
temple. The pistol used was one of
dragon size, made by Smith & Wes-
son. The face where the ball entered
was blackened by powder, and the
hole made by the ball was frighttul
one. He was unconscious when
found and fingered until two o'clock
In the afternoon, when he expired.
Some few effects were found on his
person and about the cabin, which
we're placed in the hands of the prop
er authorities. No cause is assigned
for the act, tho deceased always hav-
ing been y quiet, peaceable and IN
dustrious person. ...t o.

A Big Sulphur Mine.

The True Fissure says that B. G..
Smith brought into town the other
day some very fine specimens of ma
tive sulphur from his mine in Santa
Fe district. The sulphur is in large
vein, from which blocks weighing
one humid ed pounds or more can be
broken. The walls are of GYPSUM
and the amount Sf sulphur seems it,
limitable. In quality it analyses
eighty seven per cent, and there is
enough Of it in this one mine to
prove Ingersoll's theory a fallacy,
because one can set fire to it and
have little hell of bis own in about
ten seconds.

The Laura Mine.

The owners of the Laura mine, in
Beveridge District, says the lnyo In
dependent, are about putting in q
new four-stamp mill. The work is
IN charge of NJ. II. White, of Bishop
Creek, surveyor and engineer, who
will utilize as much as possible OF
the battery, mortar and machinery
which was originally intended for
the old Wsucoba Company. The
work is the inception of another
Keynot, and, stating it generally,
Beveridge is bound to "boom."

CONSANGUINEOUS COMPLICA-
TIONS.
The Relation Existing Between
POlygamOus MOrmOns.

The bestiality arising from poly
gamy, as practiced by the so'called
church of Jesus Chnst of Latter
Day Saints, is illustrated by the Og-
den Pilot In the following vain at
tempt to describe the relationship
existing between the poiygamists.
The Pilot says: "a Mormon who
has a mother and daughter in his
collection of wives, was trying the
ether day to enumerate the changes
of relationship possible under the
combination. The result, AS far as
he went, was as follows: He was
the husband of his other-in-law,
and step-fsther to one of his wives
and son.in law to the other. The
elder wife's children are their own
fathers cousins by marriage, and
halt brothers and sisters to the young
wife, who, according to Mormon

Tbs Shooting and Lynching at
Austin.

On the evening of the 18th John
A. Barrett and Richard Jenning had
difficulty at thhe International Ho-
tel, in Austin, about faro checks.
Mr.. Barrett who WAS a kind hearted
man and wanted no trouble, invited
Jennings to take drink. Both
walked to the bar together. Barrett
then turned to speak to some other
person, and was shot 10 the back by
Jennings, who had drawn sself-cock-
ing revolver. The BALI struck Bar.
retts spine, between the shouNaers.
He fell to the floor paralyzed, and
died almost instantly. A doctor was
quickly called, but Barrett was be.
you'd help.
1t appears that Jennings fred three
shots; one ball killing Barrett, anoth-
er lodging in the wall of the bar
room, while the third was a close
call upon a printer named Triplett,
who was standing by.
Jennings was Immediately disarm.
ed and taken to Jail by Deputy
Sheriff Parish. A Coroner's inquest
was held on Tuesday morning. A
widespread sympathy is felt for Mrs.
Barrett. who is an adopted daughter
of ex. County Treasurer, Joseph Gill
oert. Mr.. Barrett was born In Calais,
Maine and had recently retired from
business, and was about to depart
for Idaho. He leaves a much re-
spected widow and two children.
Richard Jennings is miner, and
Cornishmsn and came to Austin from
Grass Valley, California ~"out two
weeks before the date Of Inc shoot Il
He is reported to have a wife and
several CulluTtu.
This cold blooded murderer was
neither allowed his trial in Court nor
hanged according to law. The Jail
was entered by masked men, we'll
armed. They led out and hung Jen-
nings from the balcony of the Court
house. That he deserved death is
beyond doubt. That a jury would
have found him guilty of murder in
the first degree is certain. That
regular judicial proceedings are bet
ter than lynch law in civilized
community Is the opinion of all good
citizens; but in exceptional cases,
like this of Jennings, public safety
requires extraordinary measures, and
a vigilance committee may be justi-
fed.
The particulars of the affair were
swern to before the Corener's jury.
There was talk on Tuesday about
hanging the murderer of John A.
Barrett, but not sufficient enough to
alarm the authorities. The jailer,
as usual, slept that night in the room
next to the Jail. He awoke about
half past one o'clock. He thought

Attempt to Wreck a C. & C. Train.


On the 17th instant, as westward
bound train No. 2 was coming down
Churchill Canyon, they had u narrow
escape from what might have tcrmi-
mated In a serious catastro phy. There
is no room for doubt that an att empt
was made to throw the train from
the track, as a heavy round tim Der
seven inches in dia meter and about
ten feet long was laid directly across
the rails, and partly held in place by
piles of loose rocks. When the cow.
catcher struck the rocks it scattered
them on either side and carried the
log on some distance. No damage
was done owing to the fact that the
Stones gave way so readily, and the
log being round slid on the rails in
front of the engine. Nocie lie
perpetrators of the outrage las yet
been obtained although the officers
of the road are doing all in their
power to unravsl the mystery. As
large amounts of bullion are being
brought in from B,lleville by train,
the general supposition is that it was
an attempt to capture the treasure.
