ANOTHER REPORT.

DENVER, Col, July 6.-The Rocky
Mountain News has just received
the following information concerning
the Grand trouble: No courier has
vet arrived from Grand Lake strange
to saw. The coach and mail from
Hot Sulphur Spring, with but one
passenger and the driver, came in at
! o'clock. The driver, VIM. wilkins.
was interviewed by reporter. He
said there were many conflicting re-
ports at the Springs about the shoot
ing. The most straightforward and
probably most reliable report was
brought into the Springs by Fred.
Perry, who said that Wednesday
morning while commissioners Web
cr, Barney Day, and Capt. Dean,
their clerk, were going from Mrs.
Ioung's boarding house to the town
along the side of the lake, and near
the brush not far from town four
masked men jumped out from the
brush and ordered the Weber party
to hold up their hands. They did
so and the leader of the masked
party advanced toward Weber with
rope. Barney Day, whose hands
were up, Immediately dropped his
hand and quick as a flash pulled
his revolver and shot the leader
dead. The whole party then began
firing, and quicker than it takes to
tell this, Day, Dean, and Weber
were shot down, and the other three
masked men made off through the
woods, having horses near by. The
shooting attracted attention in town
and large crowd were soon on the
spot. But nothing could be seen
but Weber, Day, Dean and one
masked man lying in pools of blood
by the edge of the lake near the
timber. Barney Day was dead.
Capt. Dean was still alive with two
bullet holes in his head near and
below the eye and one in the hip.
Weber was alive, though unconsci-
Gus. The masked man was dead,
with bullet hole through his head.
The mask was removed and the face
of Commissioner NJ. ]. Mill appeared
beneath it. 1t it is believed that
one of the other masked men was
wounded, as he was tracked through
the bushes for half a mile, though
none of them was captured.
The bodies were taken into town.
The remains of Day were taken 10
the Springs for burial. Weber was
taken to his ranch on Frazer river,
where he died at 3 o'clock the next
morning. At last accounts received
at the Springs, at 8 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, Dean was still alive

It is needless to re- mark that only ''chumps" follow this prac- tice. Rail shooting is indeed very pleasant. It fills in the period between the grass blower and the partridge season. It may be tame to buffalo hunters, but to the average sports man it is immensely prolific and gratifying
 In another week, or as soon as pronounced frost falls, the rail will all be gone. They simply disappear.

QUEER WORK IN BOSTON.

QUEER WORK IN BOSTON.
 The Republicans of Massachusetts are full of woes They feel obliged to beat Butler, and they evidently do not consider the task an easy one. And when they see the mayor of Boston violating the election law in order to Eelp Butler they are naturally and proper ly exasperated.
 The law requires the mayor of Boston, with the approval of the board of aldermen, to appoint, before the 1st of October, for each voting precinct, warden, clerk and in spectors, with deputies, Qualified voters in the ward, who shall be men of good rspute and standing and shall equally represent each of the two leading political parties." This law requires the appointment of s56 persons in all, 428 for each party. This law took effect during the mayoralty of MT. Pierce, who established the precedent which has been followed uniformly by his successors, Mayors Prince and Green, of inviting the city com mittee of each party to submit the names of suitable persons of their respective parties for appointment to these offices. The names submitted by each committee were referred to the other for inspection and challenge, and all were finally appointed, with very few ex- captions, where there seemed to be some personal objection to any of the nominees. This year Mayor Palmer has refused to adopt the list submitted by the Republican city committee. and made up, so far as represen- tation in each precinct goes, upon the basis of last years appointments. He has gone out of his way to name as election officers D and city committees whom he has been pleased to class as Republicans, but many of whom indignantly affirm that they are Democrats. He has made nearly 40 changes in the list of 428 names submitted by the Republican com mittee, and he has made no charges against the character or fitness of the 97 Republi- cans whom he has supPlanted by persons of his own selection.
 It is believed that this performance has but one meaning. The Boston Advertiser, which does not make charges recklessly, says: We have no hesitation in saying that we believe the substitution of the names of disreputable persons and Democrats for those of respectable men and Republicans, which has been done in scores of cases, is part of a deliberate plan to cheat at the November election. Nor do we hesitate to hold the mayor of Boston up as willing confederate in this plot. No other explanation is possi- ble; no attempt at another explanation will find believer in any party.
 This is pretty strong language, but the facts are certainly against the mayor. It Is difficult to see what can be done to prevent the carrying out of such scheme, if it exists, for the mayor was very careful to wait and not send the names to the board of aldermen until Saturday, the last day allowed by law. But such 8 performance will not help Butlsr's cause, and if there are frauds in Boston it does not follow that he will be elected.

Careful experiments show that the heat from an arc lamp of 100 candle power is from 57 to 15s heat-uniss, that of the incandescent lamp of equal brilliancy, from 29o to 536.

Dr. J. T. Reeve, Secretary of the wiscon- sin State Board of Health, has investigated the story of the prevalence of leprosy in that State and says it has no foundation. He says there have been but four authenticated cases of leprosy in Wisconsin since 1869, these being among newly arrived Norwegians. Two of these victims are certainly dead, and he believes they all are. He says there are now living in Wisconsin, Minnesota and low perfectly healthy widows, children and grandchildren of those who were lepers.

Rats are very bold and make great deal of trouble in the geological gardens in Phila- delphia. A large rat recently entered tho lions cage and faced the king of beasts, who speedily slew him. From the beavers he rats steal the food, taking it from their very mouths. A dozen or more are described by the Record as surrounding the old sun bear, and robbing him of his rations by force Of numbers. While he chases away one the rest rush in and carry of the plunder Among the young fowl the rats make sad havoc, but of the snakes they stand in awe A rat bitten by rastlesn ake falls dead be- fore it can go yard, so quickly does the venom do its work. No method of freeing tho gardens of these nuisances seems effec tive so that food is provided to cover their demands in excess of that required for the legitimate inmates The most aggravating part of the trouble is their quickness in dis cerning and appropriating the choicest mo~- sells which are selected for the more delicate animals.
