Mammoth Claim Against the Street
Car Company.

A suit to recover certificates for 30s shares
of stock and $4,000 was filed Thursday by
Charles T. Robbins, administrator de bonis
non of the est tie of Henry II. Cath
erwood, deceased, against the Citizens Street
Railway Company and Thomas L. Johnson.
The complaint sets forth that Catherwood
died in possession of the above number of
shares of the Company's stock, of the par
value of 500 each. His death occurred in
August, 1872 and his widow, who was re-
married to r. G. Phelps, was appointed
administrative. In July, 1873 she was di-
rected by the Circuit Court 10 sell the stock
at an appraised value, and accordingly it was
assigned to John Carlisle, who gave prom
issory note running ten years from the date
of SALE Carlisle received the certificate of
transfer, and afterward assigned it to Tom
l.. Johnson. The suit is based on the fact
that no report was made and the sale not
confirmed by the Court.

Light Wanted.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. %, 1881.
To THE EDITOR OF THE LEADER-Since
the new jury law went into effect it has
been a noticeable fact, that but two colored
men have been drawn to serve as Circuit or
Superior Court jurors. 1t is the opinion Of
great many colored people that this law
was created for the express purpose of keep
ing colored men out of the jury-box, and
that the jury commissioners are strictly
carrying out the plans of the designers
Can you give any light on this subject?
A READER
We know nothing about the intention of
the trainers of the new jury law, but we do
know that since this law has been in force,
colored Jurors have been as scarce as white
elephants. Perhaps the commissioners can
account for this.-Ed. Leader.

Incorrigible Females.

Mamie and Katie Burton, incorrigible
young girls, and Mollie Fowler, an inmate of
Mollie Harter's rancho, were arrested Thurs
day night near the Zoo, and placed in one of
female departments of the Central Station the
House. The Burton girls were somewhat
under the influence of liquor, and proceeded
to make things lively around Police Head
quarters. Finally they set fire to one of the
mattresses, which almost instantly caused a
big blaze and required the combined efforts
of the turnkey and one or two officers to ex-
tinguish it. 1t became necessary to put the
Burton girls in the dungeon.

Spectrum Analysis.
Science MOnfhln.

Spectrum analysis has bound the sciences
of chemistry and astronomy firmly together.
In astronomy proper, our progress has been
considerable. In 1S45 the mathematical
eye of lie Verrier saw the planet Neptune
before any telescope had been turned to-
ward it. In 1881 we had emily four asteroids
upon our list. We now have 220. A little
intra-mercurial planet has also been scented
by watchful astronomers. The wealth of
the solar system has increased by the dis
covery of the inner ring of Saturn and by
the subdivision Of its flaming belts. Moons
have been given to Mars by an American
astronomer using an American telescope,
and Neptune, Saturn and Uranus have each
gained new satellites. The heavens have
been mapped and measured and the shape
of the visible universe determined. 1t seems
that our earth is careering near the centre of
a magnificent stellar eclipse, and that ours
is but one out of at least Is, ,000, 900 of worlds
of these worlds some are dead and cold,
like our moon; some are wheeling sway
from us, others approaching. The late cal
culations Of Helmholtz put the life-term Of
the sun at 1000, 900 Of years. Thus We are
assured py the best authority that human
research furnishes, that our plane: has long
ages of probable development before 1t.

The Chicago Mining Reoie,o has the fol-
lowing to say Of the men in the mountains
and the mines versus the men in the stock
boards: "There appears to be feeling on
the part of q certain class of journals which
live in the atmosphere of the stock boards,
that when a break comes and the stock
exchanges are dull and deserted, that the
foundations Of mining are threatened, and
that the strong hands in mountain fastness
and desert plain welding pick and drill are
paralyzed by the wild speculations of one
party or the other In financial centers where
The exchanges exist.
"Mining for precious and useful metals
throughout the length and breadth of the
land is unconscious Of the mimic pandcmo-
MUM which is daily witnessed, where IL
would seem that the mines were being tossed
to and fro like fallen leaves in the autumn
winds. The laundering crash Of the stamp
mill in the land ,Ilike the ponderous footsteps
of giant, crushing mountains beneath his
mighty feet, and steady stream Of bullion,
like molten river Of treasure, flowing from
the smelter and fumes from Maine to Cali
fornia, browns the tiny conflicts Of the ex-
changes, as the rolling thunder and the hur-
ricane OF the tempest hush the twitter Of .
sparrow. They have but faint conception
of the grandeur and magnitude even o. the
mining industry Of the present, which ID only
the seed time and the harvest, compared to
what 1t will be In the future, whs fear that .
few brokers, in any or every city by shouting
the price of stock, with the names Of mines
attached, can wake the eternal slumber OF
the mountains reaching to heaven, and
change one particle Of the treasure they hold
In rocky vaults In their bosoms, waiting to
be unlocked and given up to the demand OF
q worlds industries"

New Gold-Saving Apparatus,

The Mining and Scientific Press gives the
following description of new geld-saving
apparatus, which is particularly applicable
to the saving of fine float gold. and the par
ticles of mercury also.
In an ordinary sluice is placed q grating
or grizzly, through which the finer sand,
gold, etc., fall into the undercurrent, and
this undercurrent has also screen, through
which the finest sand and valuable portions
fall into a common sluce leading them to a
hopper, which is the commencement of the
apparatus proper. Just beneath this hopper
is horizontal table or plate, upon which
the earth and waterfall, and are by 1t divjd-
ed and caused to flow off on each side, where
they fall upon two other plates, which again
subdivide the material aud deliver it upon a
screen. This screen separates the material
into five streams, which fall very short dis
tance upon horizontal copper or amalgsma-
ted plates. The inventor thinks an inch and
a quarter fall is sufficient to bring all the
particles of precious metal into intimate con-
tact with the plate without producing that
tendency to s'scour," as it is termed, which
. rapid current or high fall will do. From
| this series of plates the material falls upon a
second screen, through which it passes, and
is received upon second series of amalga-
mated plates also placed horizontally but a
short distance below the screen.
This apparatus is placed in box which
has an inclined bottom, over which the resi-
due passes to quicksilver trap, where the
last remnant of gold may be saved, and from
which the Useless tailings will escape. The
front or side of this box has an inclined
hinged door, through which the plate may
be removed to ~, cleaned up or examined at
any time. This gate or door is kept locked,
the plates being kept thus in q position
where they cannot be examined or touched
by outsiders.
The theory of this invention Is that by
thus subdividing the material and allowing
it to fall short distance upon the horizon
tai amals sama.ing plates, 1t will be brought
into intimate contact with the surface, and
will be caught and saved; and there will be
no tendency to scour the plates.
Broadly, the use of distributor-screens
combined with amalgamating plates and
| quicksilver trap, is not new, but the spe-
cifc construction and arrangement made by
Mr.. Falk is novel, and an Improvement" on
this kind of gold-saving apparatus.

Denominational Strength.

The Methodlsts have nearly 3,600,0 900
members. So that old John Wesley was the
smartest American politician. He is the
founder Of the caucus and the political ring.
American politics Is mere imitation Of the
old mans scheme. He never believed In
Republican Government, and had his titles
of nobility and his orders Of the peerago
made in advance. The Baptists In this
country have under 2,500, 900 members. The
Presbyterians are short Of 2,000, 900 Of mem-
bers and they have only about one-third the
number Of. ministers that the Methodists
have. Next come the Lutherans a.s1 the
Disciples, and then come Ccngregationalists
and the Episcopalians equally stand seventh
