Early last night James N. Sweeney was
sitting chatting with George Wilson and
John Huebncr ("Bismarck") in front Of
the ~latter's bakery on Mob Hill. when .
little girl came up and made q comical re-
mark, which set Mr.. Sweeney TO laughing
violently. Suddenly he exclaimed:
"Boys, l believe I've burst a blood vessel !"
They went to him and found that the
blood WAS gushing from his mouth and
nostrils. They started to help him down
the hill towards his mothers house on
Spring street, but he could not get any
further than in front OF r..
Ryland's residence, where he laid down
and died in q few minutes.
A physician had been summoned at once.
but he arrived only in time to see the
unfortunate man breathing his last. The
deceased had been an invalid for several
years, and unable to work steadily, al
though he had not a sickiv appearance.
He was a large, fin~e-looking man Of 38
years, and no one who saw him and talked
with him yesterday could have thought
that he would be dead to-day. He was .
native Of New Orleans. He was q miner,
and lost his health by exposure in pros
pecting. He was an aff~ectionate son and Q
worthy man. His mother, Mrs. Ann
Sweeney, is inconsolable over his loss. She
is the only very near relative that he
leaves in this country. The funeral will
take place to morrow.

A MOCK Trial.

Night before last a man came in from
the country and started in to run the town.
He was arrested by some Of the boys who
played themselves for officers and marched
up to Jail. He said he did not like to 60
to the old Jail because he had heard Of its
bad smells. They compromised with him
then, and took him TO what they told him
is the new isil-the Skating Rink. There
he was allowed to lie down on the mattress
that the vaulters use. When he laid down
and his eyes fell upon the ropes and bars
that are used in the athletic exercises, he
thought he had been lynched and his time
had come. In agony he pleaded: Foe
Gods sake give me q chance for my life,
Let me be tried by . jury 81 my country
men |" His plea was granted. He was
full OF beer. as may be we'll guessed, and
he had been made to fear that he had been
In arrow and had killed another man.
One OF the crowd personating aghost came
up to his mattress from Q dark corner and
accosted him: II am the man you killed"
you're . id liar" was the response
the ghost got; II never killed anybody
He was taken into the back apartment OF
. saloon and granted the trial he asked for.
He was arst found guilty Of murder, then
Of granddaughter and after wards acquitted.
He WAS the happiest man in town when he
found himself Innocent, and he treated the
crowd.

The August Moon.

The August moon fulls on the 18th at
$40 o'clock. The waning moon is in con-
junction with Jupiter and Venus on the
LIST, and with Jupiter for the second time
on the Goth. She is at her nearest point
to Mercury on the Sd, and to Uranus on
the 9Th. On the Oath she is very near Nep-
tune. On the 25th she is in close conjunc-
ton with Saturn at 1:36 o'clock in the
afternoon passing one degree three minutes
south. In some portions of the globe,
between 80 and 10 degrees south declina-
ton, and where the dark side of the earth
Is turned toward the lesser luminary, the
moon will be seen to occult Saturn. This
will be the fifth occultation Of Saturn that
has occurred during the year. The moon
completes the planetary circuit by her
conjunction with Mars on the 18th.

Cigars OF Green Tobacco or q Chance
"a ssSheve the Queer."
The communication published below
was received yesterday morning by one Of
our citizens, and was kindly handed to the
SENTINEL for publication:
NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 1883.
DEAR SIR: To come to the point at
once, / am q manufacturer Of CIGARS
made Of Green Tobacco. My CIGARS,
though not genuine, are as difficult to de-
tect as any thing can be. l desire you to
como on to the city and examine my
stock at your leisure. You can then take
away whatever quantity you bargain for,
and you can rest assured il you will act
honorably with me / will with you, and
when l treat . man true and upright l ex-
pect the same in return. My prices are
as follows: For $3.50 I will allow you
81, 200, for $3.50 I will allow you So, O
for $3.50 I will allow you $500. The
sizes Of my cigars are Nos. 1, 2, 5 and 10.
You will understand I I'm willing to allow
you $500 in goods for your railroad ex-
penses.
You can bring a friend with you if he has
money, but bring . mar who can keep .
still tongue. II you make up your mind

stop here. Whatever you do answer this
at once. To q man Of the intelligence you
are supposed to be it is useless for me to
60 into further details. Do not bother me
about small orders or samples. An in
quisitive Postmaster, or some one who is
in the habit Of getting your mail, may be
tempted to open your letters. In case
you intend coming IN Immediately notify
me three or four days in advance Of your
starting. so l can be prepared for you. II
l have made q mistake by writing to the
wrong man please excuse me and do not
expose me. Let matters drop. You may
not come on, but if we meet you will find
me q sure friend to deal with. When I
treat q man truly l expect the same in
return. For our first trade you must see
me personally. after that 70 can make
other arrangements. J. COLEMAN,
In care of @. A. FAB, 1914 Sd Avenue, New
York.
From the foregoing it would appear
that Mr.. Coleman is DESTROYS that some
gentleman from the Base Range should
have an opportunity Of becoming wealthy
by showing the queer" We are under
the impression that Mr.. Coleman's tempt
ing offer will be declined with thanks.
1t seems from the style of the above
communication, its terms, etc., that this
class of swindlers have chopped on their
former scheme, which was to sell any
quantity Of counterfeit money at the rate
of $40 per 500, and when the ~greenhorns
throughout the country send in their hard
earned money to send them in return a
nicely sealed package Of sawdust by ex-
press. Several Of these sawdust men were
convicted in New York some years ago for
swindling, there being no evidence in
regard to counterfeit money.
What the new scheme is we are unable
to say. Maybe they expect to get hold Of
an innocent Base Ranger and run him
against ''bunko" for a few hundred dol
lars. Who knows?
