lt II Thought That The ~ urierer Of
old "Fremchy" II Known.
A gentleman from Beowawe, who was in
Eureka yesterday. stated TO . SENTINEL
reporter that . certain man in that neigh
borhood is strongly suspected Of being
the murderer Of old "Frenchy," Bernard
Navarro. A number Of suspicious circum.
stances are connected with the affair. but
the following is the most suspicious Of all:
When 'Frenchy" left Beowswe on horse
back on his way home on the 4th Of Sep
tember he had Q written order in his
pocket from Mr.. Mcclellan on the latter's
partner. George Shultes. for . lot OF bsling
rope. This order was presented 1t
Shultes' ranch, some 16 miles from
"Frenchy's" ranch, by . Mexican who has
been working there ell the Summer and
was . partner with ~"Frenchy" in
the crops. This was after the corpse
had lain exposed I've weeks on the ground
and had been discovered. 1t 10 said also
that tracks identical with those where the
death struggle 10 supposed to have taken
place were found about "Frenchy's" cabin.
The deceased used TO say that he had Q
brother in San Francisco, . physician, and
. sister. These relatives should be in
formed Of ali these particulars. The Cor
oner should take possession Of the proper
~ Of the deceased and hold it for them.
II he has not already done 40. he should
visit ''Frenchy's" cabin, where they say
he left . number Of papers and letters
which will give desired information in re-
gard to his affairs. The surmises as to the
murderer ought to be considered by the
officer within whose Jurisdiction the muir
der occurred and be followed up to the
murderer, IL possible.

Blasting Butler.

BosToN, July 20-Both the majority
and minority reports of the committee
chosen to investigate Tewksbury were
made in the Legislature to-day. All
the Republicans signed the former doc
ument, which, while it criticises certain
things at the aims house, and recognizes
the shortcomings of the Marshes,
charges the Governor with gross exag-
geration. Butler argument before the
committee was sharply rebuked. Say
the majority: when he suggested
that a respectable lady witness en-
ployed at Tewksbury belonged to the
harem; when he spoke of the State Aims
House as a hell upon earth, and the
home for discharged females at Ded-
ham as a den; when he spoke of the en-
inent physician who controyerted Dix
wells testimony as the refuse, and
again as the 'emptyings' of Harvard
Medical School, and again as rascals
and runts, your committee thought the
backing brush had been brought into
requisition When in his argument he
brandished what he called a woman's
skin, and pointed to the nipple o.
the woman; when, to defend the New
York witness, Eva Bower, he averrcd
that, under God, her seduction and fal
were due to the school system of Massa
chusetts; when we see him flourish 3
piece of human skin, which had not
been put into the case, with an alleged
crucifix tattooed upon it; when he al
ludsd to the old and young men, whose
iaded passions are to be excited by

Shoppers Who Won't Buy.

A New York dry-goods man wishes
something could be done to put stop
to the shoppers-who-never-buy nuisance.
These people are very well known to the
stores, and they don't give as much
trouble as formerly, but still they take
up valuable time.
The moment an "old- timer" comes up
to the counter she is recognized by
some of the statesmen, and the warming
signal, tap on the counter, is passed
along the line. Then there is fun. The
"old-timer" will call for a certain shade
of yellow. She is told that it is not in
stock.
"Oh, what a pity" exclaims she; @that
is just what ! wanted. If yOu had it 1
would buy sixteen yards of it."
Then it is the next mans turn. He
comes up accordingly, and tells the first
salesman that he is mistaken, that there
is still a bolt Of twenty yards of that
identical stuff in the store. He brings
it forward and lays it down. You would
think the shopperwho-never-buy would
be disconnected at this turn of affairs.
Not bit of it. She says, smiIingly:
ooh, that is just what want. Lay it
aside for me, and l will see my dress
maker and find out just how many yards
she needs, and tomorrow I'll come back
and buy it."
Then she departs with shipper, but
she never comes back. 1t is said there
are no such trials in England, and the
reason is that there about seyen-eighths
of the population are housekeepers who
have no time to loiter around stores,
whereas in New York fully two-thirds
of the people live in boarding houses,
and time hangs heavy on their hands,
and they kill it by worrying sales
people.

Diamonds aud Drink.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Among the
dirty tramps and dissolutc women
brought before judge in Brooklyn re-
Gently, was a woman in n silk dress
and wearing diamond ornaments, who
had been picked up by Policeman
Black, of the Ninth sub-precinet, on
Monday night for drunkenness. she
gave her name as Emma Spaulding,
and said that she resided in the city,
and that she was respectable woman
and had taken some beer with friend
and become intoxicated. The night be-
fore when she was brought in she said
she had been drinking with a policeman
but Tuesday she did not remember any
thing about what had happened while
she was intoxicated. She kept them
awake in the station-house all night by
singing. Judge Massey fined her 81.
which she paid.

Mare MysferY.

MILWAUKEE, July 23.-Another case
of mysterious disappearance is reported
here. On Thursday evening last, May
Sexton, aged nineteen, left her home on
Third Avenue to visit neighbor. She
was bare-headed and wore no wraps.
The same evening about 8 o'clock a
young woman, answering the descrip-
ton of Miss Sexton, was seen to enter a
close carriage on the corner of Second
and National Avenues, in which were
two men. A few minutes before, while
standing under street lamp apparently
awaiting some one, a young man, we'll
dressed. wearing silk hat and carry
ing cane, approached her. The two
engaged in conversation, which lasted a
few minutes, the man then leaving her
and shortly after returning in the car
riage. The party then drove in the di-
rection of the Soldiers Home. Since
this time no trace of the girl can be dis
covered. although the friends of the
girl and the police have been vigilant
in their search. Miss Sexton came to
this city from Boston, where she gradu-
ated at the Conservatory of Music.

tering, she met cash boy. please go
out and hold my horse; he's afraid of
the RAIN" she said. The boy ran out
hastily possibly in the hope of dime.
The storm came on. the animal was
restless, but the boy held him, and in a
few moments was drenched. Half an
hour the storm lasted The lady ran
out and asked the boy TO please drive up
Clinton avenue. The little fellow did
as requested, and then the lady
thanked him. The half-drowned child
did not even get Il car ticket, but had to
walk to his store. There he was taken
in and sent home IN u carriage, for the
boy was chilled and pale, and there was
talk of sueing woman who would treat
boy in the shameful manner reported
TO us by responsible persons.

NEW YORK, July 20.-When the
North German Lloyds steamer Salier.
from Bremen, was within four days of
this port upon the voyage which she
concluded recently, eoal-heaver, who
had been several hours on duty in the
hot and sitting atmosphere OF the

gine-room with wild eyes and excited
manner, seized q knife, and plunged
it into his left breast The wounded
man dropped to the floor and died in
q few moments. The knife penetrated
the heart and went completely through
the body, coming out at bis back The
man, a middle-aged German, whose
name has not been learned, had pro-
baby become insane from the intense
heat. His body was buried at sea.

Beginning From the Bottom.

WASHINGTON, July Secretary
Teller to-day denied, with a good deal
of energy, the story that he was going
to circumvent the civil-service law, or
try to, by getting waived in some man
ner, and by some authority not eX-
planned, the requirement that women
who are applicants for 5000 places
should be examined. According to the
story, some women were afraid that
they should never get appointments
under the civil-service system, and
they had induced Mr.. Teller to propose
something of this kind. The story pro-
badly grew out of the conferences be-
tween the secretary and the commits
sioners regarding examinations for the
interior department and the point at
which they should begin. The 5000
clerkships will be filled by examination,
as otherwise the clerksj could not he
promoted, or, if they were promoted,
the whole civil-service system would be
abolished. Secretary Teller said that
it would be very foolish for him, even
If he could do il, to allow people to
come into his department without ex-
animation, when they had to be exam
thou lVi Lut otitA NtldilHltht1s Il iib
result would be that he would get those
who not only did not, but who could not
pass. At the same time there was good
ground for the fear that. under the new
system, women will not be as apt as
they now are to get positions. They
pass the examinations well enough
and if applicants were 10 be appointed
just in the order in which they are
marked they would crowd the men
out. But when the chief of bureau
wants a clerk he has four names certi-
fed to him, and at least one of the four
will probably be man. In nine eases
out of ten the appointing officer would
rather have male than female clerk,
and this will leave the women small
chance of getting places. They get
places now because some influential
friend exerts himself in their behalf, but
when influence is abolished the results
will be more unfortunate for the women
than for men.

Preparing for Attack.

WASHINGTON, July z0.-The State
Department has instructed the United
States Consul at Vera Cruz to advise all
vessels bound for southern ports in the
United States TO stop at Ship Island for
inspection, in order to avoid being sent
there from port of destination by health
officers. Referring to the presence of
cholera in London, England. Surgeon
General Hamilton said that il the

vessel coming TO this country would
have 10 60 into quarantine.

WIN nAh. OhnS AoSAoAu, VI Odcu IlatcH
happened 20 be on the road to this city
Both We're blocked at Porter for sev.
eral hours. Finally, after the water
had receded a foot or two. Mr.. Hannun
started across. Having a steady team,
he made the passage In safety. although
the water was nearly up to the box in
crossing the bottom, on the west of the
bridge. Mr.. Basford followed with his
team, and both got through without
damage. The Bloomington stage was
not quite so lucky, when it arrived at
the same point, on Saturday. The adj
ded rain, the night before, had made a
bad river worse. An attempt was
made, however, to cross. As they got
well out in the stream, one of the horses
became frightened, stepped into hole,
and in moment the stage was
dragged into canal six or eight feet
wide cut by the river There were three
passengers besides Mr.. johnson the
driver, young lady and two children.
The stage drifted down some rods and
then grounded and all got out with no
worse consequences than ducking in a
rather muddy stream.
The stage was recovered with the
team and the mail was then sent through
on horseback by swimming the torrent
the passengers were cared for at Mr..
Porter's.
The damage to hay and fences along
Grant is considerable. Some fields are
reported where the whole crop was
washed out and carried down stream,
The larger bridges appear to have
withstood the freshet, none having been
carried out. 1t is hard to estimate the
damage done in the county by these
storms, but it is entirely safe to say that
it will reach well up among the thou
sands.

Speaking of the coming soldiers re-
union in this city which it thinks will be
a thorough success the Boscobel Dial
gives the following hints compiled from
the experience of the citizens of that city
They are worth considering. sIn June
1882, the reunion was held in Boscobel;
with what success the boys who were
here can answer. That meeting has
been held up as model gathering, not
only to the officers of the Grant county
Association, but to every other organ
ization throughout the northwest. How
ever. the success of the meeting was
not confined to the exertions of the old
soldiers of this city. Those who took
no active part in the war; the business
men of the city; the mechanics; the ar
tizan and the day laborers; all aided by
The hard work and untiring zeal of the
ladies of Boscobel, were what did the
business. The old soldiers never made
n call upon the people of Boscobel either
for labor or cash, but what was met with
prompt response by those able to give.
1t is sueh unanimity of feeling, such
concert of action. such brotherly and
sisterly devotion, that makes such
gatherings success. Boscobel has
long since received her reward, in the
good name she acquired on that occa-
sion
