The Stil,wrII AssassinatiOn.

TUcsoN, March 22.-The coroner's jury who were empaneled in the case of the assassination of Frank Still. well, returned verdict that he came to his death from shots fired by Wyatt and Warren Earp, Doc Holli day, Texas Jack, alias Johnson, and McMasters. Intelligence received to.night,say that the Earp party are at Benson, and it is thought by many that they will arrive here tonight, either to surrender to the authorities or to make way with Ike Clanton. It is now definitely known that after they killed Stillwell they searched for Canton for some time before leaving Tucson. This morning about eight o'clock, eight mounted men, all heavily armed and wearing gray slouched hats, were seen on the out skirts of the city; their animals were jaded, having apparently travelled a long distance. They are supposed to be friends of Stillwell from Tomb stone, party of whom left that place l st night.
 Latest accounts say that sheriifs Paul and Behan are out with an or ganized force to take the party. A strong posse of armed men are or ganized here to enforce law. The indignation of the citizens of Tucson is growing more and more intense. The case of the assassination is now before the grand jury, which is in session. The Star, of Tucson, and the Tom bstone press condemn the tragedy in strong terms. Tomorrow will undoubtedly develop the real in tention of the fugitives.

The Romance or Mining.

The Mining Register, of Salt Lake City, last week published an inter. esting story, showing how easily for tunes may be made and lost in min ing. The Register truly says that, could the scattered and broken thread which formed the warp and wool of many prospector's history be gath cred together and united, romances without number could be woven which would rival those framed by Wilkie Collins. Certain events in the history of two pioneers have re- gently come to our knowledge which are worthy of mention. Three years ago Mir. Dunkin located at Lead ville the mine which still bears his name. He was poor, but he worked faithfully and hard, in hopes that he would strike mineral, but his money gave out and he sold his interest for S2,300. The purchasers, after ex- pending quite a large sum in sinking another shaft on the property, which failed to disclose mineral, returned to that in which Mr. Dunkin buried his hopes, and in sinking Z feet further struck pay ore. The mine was sold a year later for S75, %. An old-timer in the west, who was among the early arrivals at Rosita, located the Chleftain, adjoining the Leavenworth, and sold it for S5, on twenty years time. The sum is not yet due. Before selling he offered to give it to Captain Lambert, of the Pueblo Chieftain, from which the paper derived its name, but the cap. tain declined the gift. The same prospector discovered the Hum. boldt, Pocahontas, Leviathan and h. vincible mines, all of which he gave to man to whom he was indebted for paltry sum. The three first named have since yielded S7O0,O00, and bid fa,r to produce twice that sum in the near future, while the old-timer IS rich-positivel in the ownership of several lodes in the San Miguel mountains. Truth IS stranger than fiction.

A Mexican Found Dead This
 Morning.
The Act supposed to bc the Work of
 the Earps.

This afternoon Theodore D. Judah came in from Pete Spence'S wood camp in the South pass of the Dragoons and gave an EPITAPn reporter the following informa tion: Yesterday n morning, about Il o'clock, Wyatt and Warren Earp, Doc Holiday, McMasters, Teyas Jack and Johnson came into the camp and inquired for Pete Spence and Indian Charley; also as to the number of men there, and their whereabouts. Judah informed them that Spence was in Tombstone, and that Mex ican ramed Florentina was looking tor some stock which had strayed away. Ju- dah indicated the direction taken by the Mexican, and the party immediately left as directed, passing over d hIll which hid them from view. A few minutes later ten CT twelve shOts were heard. Floerntina not returning, this morning Judah plo- ceeded in search of him, and found the body nol far from the camp, riddled with bullets. Judah immt diatcly came to town with the news, He states that had the sherif's posse come mile further, they would have had all the information they wanted

From the Globe Chronicle, March IS.
 Another rain to-day. This whole section has been favored with so much moisture this year that the streams everywhere are running on top of the ground, and grass IS sure to be abundant during the season.
 The Old Dominion Copper com. pany has placed $l50,000, as working capital, at the disposal of it's super inlendent, and if needed will place as much more. The appearance of the company's mines seems to justify the venture.
 The Centennial mine has, during the past week, got hoisting and pumping works Tn place and at work, successfully pumping water from the mine, and will doubtless be extract, ing ore the coming week. They have some twenty-five men at work at present and will increase the num- Der as required. ....
 A large quantity of machinery ar rived yesterday for the Old Globe Copper Mining company, and the Hoosier. Both of these companies give promise of splendid working Tn the near future. They are both un- der the control of active and intelli- gent men, and the camp is looking to them for reprieval from hard times.

The southern Floods.

HELENA, Ark, March 22.-The arrival of the relief boat, General Bernard, was welcomed last IGht by many anxious hearts. Rations are fewer than anticipated, and before another arrival tn re must he much suffering. Commissioner Morgan went to points below in the C. B. Reese, where it is said there is dis content, there being few of the sub commissioners who have been using supplies wrongfuliy, seeking to az grandize themselves instead of be- slowing the supplies on genuine suf- ferers. Commissioner Morgan will look into these affairs and settle them properly before returning. Promi nent physicians from Hickman, Mis- sissippi county, say they know about 300 persons living without the ne- cessities of life. Nearly all their stock has perlShed and the few remaining are fast dis appearing with starvation undertheir eyes. There Is not visible spot ot land, not even 8 housetop in some places. The CT rose with such raniditv it was impossible to build raits upon which to place stock. Most people huddIed together on the tops of houses, the consequence of winch is violent form of scarlet fever has broken out.

The Chinese Bnl.

WASHINGTON, March 22-Durine the consideration of the Chinese bin ln the house to-day the measure was discussed by Washburne, George, Me Lane, Robinson, Kasson, Lord, Fucker and Hawks. The house al J:lO d. m. took recess until 1O to. morrow. Page of California, gave
 otice that he would at 2 p. m., to morrow, demand the previous ques, tlon on the bill.
 The debate on the Chinese bill has been conducted by kasson of Iowa, md Lard of Michigan in opposition to the bill, unless materially amended, and by Tucker of Virginia, who is now making a powerful argument in its advocacy. The discussion will not terminate until some time to- morrow.
 Jones, of Nevada, was asked this evening whether he credited tine re- port that the president is disposed to veto the Chinese bill, "No," replied the senator, "some of our people are experimenting veto, but l am not. My confidence does noi spring from anything the president has sald tu me, but from my knowledge of the opinions he ent-rtains. Concerning the exercise of the veto power, If the president thinks the terms of twenty years in the restriction clause of the pending measure strains the treaty, he might find that provision possible ground for veto, but from the fact that representatives of the people have had the same question before them, and with their eyes open, and after full discussion of that very feature, have decided by a good majoritv that it was within the scope of the treaty.

LongfeIiow's First Poem.

When our great poet was years old his master wanted him to write a composition. Little Henry, like all children, shrank from the undertak- ing. His master sad: ... "You can write, can you not?" "Yes," was the reply.
 "Then you can put words toge. ther?" "Yes, sir" lr."Tr .r"- "rhen," sail the master, "you may take. your slate and go behind the schoolhouse, and then you can tell what it is used for, and what is to be done with it, and that will be q composition." ...
 Henry took his slate and went out. He went behind Mr. Finnev's barn, which chanced to be near, and seeing d fine turnip growing up, he thought he knew what that was, what it was for, and what would be done with it. A half hour had been allowed to Henry for his first undertaking in writing compositions. In half an hour he carried in his work, all &C., complished, and the master is said to have been affected almost to tears when he saw what little Henry had done in the short time:
 MIR. FINNEYs TUPNIP.s ...f .,.
 Mr. Finrey had turnip, And 1t grew, and it grew;
 And 1t grew behind the barn, .. And the turnip aid no harm.
 And it grew, and it grew.
 Till it could grow no taller; Then Mir fiuney took it up
 And put in the cellar.
 There 1t lay, there 1t lay
 Till 1t began to rot,
 When his daughter Susie washed il,
 And she put il in the DOT.
 Then she ho lAd it. and boiled it.
 Az lOuL as she able;
 Then his daughter Lizzie took It
 And she put it on the table.
 Mir Finuey and his wife
 Both su down To sup,
 And they atr, and they ate,
 Until they ate the turnip up.

Search for the Earn Party.

Sheriff Bchan left with posse of some fifteen or sixteen men, among whom were John Ringo, Fin Clanton and several oth. CTS of the cowboy element, together with some of the permanent residents of Tomb stone. They went out as far as the Dra-- goons where they got track of the party they were after, and tracked them back (so they say) to within four miles of town, where the trail became oblterated by the passing travel. It IS supposed by some that they are now within easy reach of Tombstone.
