GOLD
Discovered in New York State in Paying
Ouantities-Great Excitement.

Discovered in New York State in Paying
Ouantities-Great Excitement.
TROY, n. Y, March 5.-There is much ex-
citement in Fulton and Hamilton Counties
over the discovery Of gold, and considerable
numbers are focking to that section. The
Benson Mining Company has made the first
cleanup" ever made by Gold Mining
Company in this State The amalgam from
this cleanup" gives about $3.50 of gold. A
sample of ten pennyweights and nineteen
grains of this amalgam yielded 81 81 in pure
gold. The metal is of a bright yellow, and
more resembles Australian than California
gold. The gravel from which this result
was obtained was taken from the surface
and down to depth of fifteen feet, and the
average yield is about IS 75 per ton. The
present cost of mining and milling this
gravel is eighty-seven cents per ton, and the
mill can work fifty tons every twenty -four
hours.
In one day seventy-two tons were worked.
Assays of this gravel made by mining ex-
perts and chemists all over the country run
from twenty-five cents to S75 ton. The
receipt of the product of the mine caused
great excitement, and il is now claimed that
Northern New York gold fields are no
longer an experiment. Another mill is al
most ready to start up, and four more are
ordered and will be in operation early in the
spring. The best yard wood can be pur-
ch1sed at the mines for S163 per cord, and
this is used for fuel at light expense.

Heavy Damages-In Jail.

Special to the Sentinel:
FRANKLIN, Ind, Feb. 2s.-ln the Circuit
Court to-day Miss Louisa Rodgers recovered
$1,341.66 as damages against Wilbur Wells,
a newly married man of Hensley Township,
on a salt of breach of promise and seduc-
ton. Miss Rodgers is prepossessing young
lady, about eighteen years old, of good
family and has always borne good reputa-
ton.
The bastardy case of Lille Terhune VS..
Albert Reece, young married man of this
city, was compromised in the Circuit Court
to-day, the defendant agreeing to pay $3.50,
one-balf cash in hand and the other in six
months. Failing to raise the first INSTALL
ment or to give bond for the second, he was
placed in JAIL where he has ample time for
reflection on the cruelty of woman.

guests, but will say in extenuation that he
adopted the same precautions as in hotels of
like size, and icall attention to the unpsr-
alleled rapidIty of smoke and flames. He
was at fault in not instructing the help as
to their duties IN case of fire and not giving
sufficient attention to the barroom after
knowing the habits of the tenant. They
find that of all the help of the hotel at the
time of the fire, Linehan, the engineer. at
once made proper exertions to save life;
commend the police and firemen and recon-
mend the enlargement of the department.
They censure the Coroner for the manner
the morgue was kept, and find that the laws
regulating the modes of egress from build
lngs are defective.

Financial Exhibit of the Augustinian so-
ciety-Proposed Relief.
LAWRENCE, Mass, March 1.-The Angus
tinisn fathers made the following financial
statement of the Catholic CHURCHES in Law
renee: Liabilihes-7OS, personal accounts,
$405 400; interest outstanding TO January,
1888, s3l, 800; mortgages, $4,000: total,
S567, 300. Assets-St. Mary's Church and
grounds, $1,000 Parochial resid ence, S33,-
600; Convent and grounds SIS, 600;
St. Mary's Schools and grounds,
$50 900; Immaculate Conception
Church. Sos, 600; Immaculate Conception
residence, $4,000; ST. Lawrence Church,
$50, 600; St. .Augustinian's CHAPEL, 5000;
Cemeteries, $4,000; total, $500, 600. This
leaves. apparently, a surplus of 81, 700 but
as the market value of the assets is much
less than their cost there is a deficiency
rather thsn a surplus.
The official statement causes a deprecias
ton in the Secrstary's affairs, in accordance
with the facts already given. Most of this
income has been absorbed by the expense
of maintaining clergy, buildings, SCHOOLS,
etc, which amount TO So, SOC annually, and
above all by the large sums paid for interest
on deposits aud mortgages, which. beginning
with 1854, amount 10 S294, 500. The society
proposes to pay annually at least S25 600 on
the deposits, and as much more a. the en-
deavors of members here and elseg here can
obtain. 1t esks that deposiiOrs forbear for
the time from enforcing their claims, and
the congregations OF various churches CO.
operate with their pastors Ia hguidating
every claim.
Three more attachments were made on
church property today by depoSitOTs.

charging both barrels which took effect in
the left side of his neck, killing him in
stantly.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Feb. 2S.-The Grand

vator shaft. filed the corridors and made
escape impossible. All lives were lost
within thirty minutes after the discovery of
the fire. They find that the Newhall was
constructed in as substantial manner as
such buildings usually are, and that there
was scarcely hotel in the country as easy
of egress as the Newhall. The owners had
done all that was reasonable for protection
