Blymer, of this place, received an
order this evening for a coffin for
jeff. Miller, said to be dying in the
hospital at Monterey from the effect
of wounds received at the hands of
Mexican police. The coffin cannot be
sent before tomorrow. owing to nee
essary trouble and time in getting out
the custom house papers. One hun
dred dollars will have to he paid
before the body will be allowed to
cross the Rio Grande. Miller's treat
ment by the Mexican authorities is
most brutal and outrageous. Five
hundred dollars were paid before a
doctor would attend him, and that
sum was charged to amputate Miller's
leg. 1t no further delays occur his
remains can reach Austin by Friday
morning.

at this port as heretofore. The order

his steamers in the trade to Tampico,
and, perhaps, will open line to Ha-

tinuance, turned to Arto, the alleged
murderer of her husband, and said:

unconcerned.

The First Beat.


The always important event, the ar
rival of the first boat Of the season, is
anxiously waited for each spring, and is
received as harbinger of greater ac-
tivity and better things. This season
was no exception, &nd the arrival of the
Flora last night attracted large crowd
to the dock to greet her. She landed a
largelquantity of freight for our mer-
chants. She left Detroit with all the
freight she could care for, and a good
list of passengers. Capt. Jones says
they met with no difficulty from the ice
until they neared this harbor. The
steamer was visited by great number
Of our citizens, and Capt. Jones and staff
were heartily congratulated and the neat
appearance of the craft admired and
praised. The changes made in her ma
chinery last winter has increased her
speed two miles per hour and Capt. Jones
states that she made the run from
Rogers City to this port in fifteen min
utes less time than the best made by the
Keweenaw. She did not attempt to
make Mackinac, this end of Lake Huron
being so full of ice that the captain
feared to undertake it. She left for To-
ledO as soon as her freight was dis
charged.
