A Wonderful Clock.

A mechanical marvel, the product of nine years patient toll on the part of an un1ettered miner, who made it in his "spare hours" in the Hallen- back colliery at Wilkesbarre, 2,OO0 feet below the surface of the earth, has just been completed in the shape of clock by James McGlynn. It is built on the plan of the castro omi- cal cloC k" recently exhibited in this country, but is much more compli- cated in most of its parts, and de- rives an added interest from the manner of it's construction.
 The front of the clock shows three balconies, rising above a massive and elegantly carved pedestal, and upon these the moving figures appear. The lower balcony shows a process sion of continental soldiers, headed by mounted general and marching past, while the old liberty bell pro- claims its welcome notes of freedom. A sentinel salutes the Continentals as they pass, and just at the moment a door is opened from an upper bal cony and reveals Molly Pitcher, with her cannon, which she fires with startling and realistic effect.
 To show how we'll the maker of the clock has considered the details of his handiwork he has placed small revolving fan in the clock, to be actuated after the firing of Molly's cannon, for the purpose of clearing out the powder smoke. Simultane- ously with this the portraits of the twenty presidents of the United States pass in panoramic review on a balcony just above the patriotic tab leau, of which Molly Pitcher is the central figure, and Thomas Jefferson holds up the Declaration of Indepen- dence. The apostolic procession is similar to those hitherto seen in such clocks. The twelve apostles file past, Satan appears, and the cock crows in warning to Peter. A figure of Jus tice raises her scales as the form of Christ appears, and during the scene a large representation of Death tells off the minutes upon bell.
 When one sees the clock, the tools with which it was made, and hears the miners story of how he bought the wood for it bit by bit as he could afford from his spare change, he is sensibly impressed with human pos abilities. Ph:sxiSsl~ 'T;,,nas

Tlnkering.

An unfortunate weakness of some
 in charge of machinery is to desire to be constantly tinkering at it, un.
 der the mistaken impression that
 they. are improving its performance. The reverse is the truth oftener than
 otherwise. With new engines and
 machines it sometimes happens that
 the parts chafe little through some oversight in fitting up, and require to be essed, but when it comes to re- setting valves and general overhaul ing, though there may be instances where it IS required, in most cases it Es a mistake to attempt it.
 Here and there, perhaps a little slide valve engine has been set cold, SC that when it gets to work hot, the valve does not work properly; but most automatic engines, we might douhtless say all, have been correctly set by the indicator before being sent out of the shop, and no one can correct their performance by merely guessing at what is going on in the cylinder, and assuming that the per formance can be improved by shift ing the eccentrics hap-hazard.
 Engines which require the fewest repairs are those that have had the least tinkering done upon them, and that as rule, applies all over. It is the same in the machine shop, some are eternally on bad terms with their lathes or shapers, or planers. We recall one man who was so often upon his knees about his lathe and had so many quarrels with it's per formance, that he gained nickname which stood in lieu of hls proper one. and after all his fussing with his lead-screw and feed-gear, and cone- bully and bearings, he did the poor est work in the shop. Perhaps, be- cause he was tinker.
 It is good thing to know when machine is in order and to keep it so; in other words, "let we'll enough alone."-Ex.

The Star Route Investigation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-The straw bond route case-Caball, Dickson and Minnex-came up before Judge Shell in the police court to-day. A basket containing between twenty and twenty-five thousand papers was pro- duced in court, and these only for those called for. The court refused to allow the defense to submit ad- vertisements for star route service by the post office department, for the purpose of showing the practice of the department, and also demon. strate the fact that the defendants had lived up to the practice as there- in set forth. The defense then said they had no further testimony to in- troduce, reserying the right, however, of one. of the number who was ab- sent, to submit any evidence he might have in his possession. The court adjourned until Thursday.

STONED TO DEATH.
Brutal Murder of Jacob Whitsel
 by Renegade Indians.
A Plain Trail from the Scene of the
 Murder into the Stronghold.

The gloomy uncertainty regarding the fate of Jacob Whitsel was yesterday dis pelled by the finding of his body, and the worst fears of his friends realized. Yester day morning Messrs. J. H. Jackson and Geo. Spangenberg went out to Willow Springs, where the unfortunate man had been ambushed, and were there joined by his partner from the wood camp. After searching to the north and northeast of the wagon, the party took the trail of the say ages, which appeared to be made purposely plain and goes direct into the Cechise stronghold, to the entrance of which it was followed. Those of our citizens who have visited this place know that it is all its name implies, and as it would have been the height of folly fer three men to follow the trail into such a cryptogram of am bush, they prudently retraced their course, and on nearing Willow Springs met man who had found the body of Whitsel three hundred yards to the southwest of the wagon, stripped to the waist and badly mutiated from Whitsel having been stoned to death. --.- ...sl.
 From the evidence around the wagon it is probable that Whitsel had ne intims- tion of the presence of the red devils until they rose from their ambush and frighten- cd the team, which, making . short turn, crushed the front wheel under the load and broke the tongue. Whitzel, who was unarmed, then started ts run and the h. dians, knowing their victim could not escape, resolved to kill him in such manner as to give no alarm by the dis charge of their rifles, to save ammunition or to make his death more horrible. They then cut the horses out and took the trail described above, and on which trail on Friday last, the day of the murder, twelve Indians were seen by wood-chopper close up in the western entrance of the Cochise pass. As the gentlemen who went out had no means of bringing the body in, it was Jagged, to keep off coyo- tes, and last evening coffin was .e,t out fer the remains.
 The brazen cheek of handful of Apaches coming within eight miles of this populous town to imbue their hands in blood, is the legitimate outgrowth of the imbeci,e movement made upon them last fall by over two hundred troops in this same range of mountains, when they should have corraled them in this same stronghold, but failing in that, certainly should not have left the plain trail in Sul- phur Spring Valley and gone into two- day camp at Soldier Hole. The least that can be done now Is for troop of cavalry to be sent out from Camp Huachuca to scout the Dragons.

ApAe. rn Piaeer Claims.

ku0E6 u66 O60u ulOIc UT lCSo ulo- cusslon of the discovery of lode claims within the boundaries of placer claims, as to the rights of the owner under certain circumstances The commissioner of the general land office sets the matter at rest in one way, at least, so far as that de- partment of the government (aside from the courts) can do such thing, by deciding that lodes discovered within tho limits of placer claims, after application for patent for the placer claim was filed, are no bar to the issuance of patent as applied for.
 A man named Becker claimed to be the owner of q lode claim, located many years before, which man named Sears had fraudulently in cluded in 6 placer survey. Becker protested against a patent being granted to Sears. The land office directed that testimony should be taken upon the two following points, to-wit: First, whether lode actually existed as alleged; second, whether such lode conformed to the diagram required to be submitted. Protest ant having complied with the require msnts stated, the hearing was held
 After the date of hearing, Sears filed a dslinquishment of the are embraced in the Soda lode survey. other people also filed affidavits since, alleging that there are num- bsr of lode claims other than the So- da lode, and that these affiants were working them.
 The commissioner says: "These affiants allege nothing which will warrant this office in further sus- pending proceedings for patent. The fact, if admitted, that lodes are now known to exist within the placer claim, constitutes no bar to the issu- ance of a patent, provided they were not known at the date of application for patent. The applicant, at the date of application, alleged under oath that no such lodes were known to exist. which allegation was sup ported by corroborarive affidavits. l think the testimony taken at the hea ring clearly shows, that while there is natural Assure filled with eous material which was To- cated at tlte Soda lode, there has never been a cound of mineral Ter bear. n T. ing ore taken the. ."efrom, although 1t would seem that at different times various persons have 'horoughly prospected the same by sha US, ,, tuh' nels and other excavations. mere fore, the fact that the applicant |. as relinquished the area claimed as the Soda lode, does not, in my opinion, affect the bona 6des of the persons who made oath to the effect that no known lodes existed at the date of 'pplie.. nfor patent."
