Production Of Gold and SILVER In tho
United States for the Year 1889.

The yield of the mines of the United
States for the year 1882 was $50, 500, 600 in
gold and $40, 500, 900 in silver. Compared
with the previous year, this shows decline
of s., 200, 900 gold and an increase of $780,
900 in silver. The comparative decline in
the production of gold was greater in. Cali
fornia than in any other State or Territory,
This resulted from the interruption of hy-
counties, owing to litigation, and from the
falling off in the production of the quartz
mines at Bodie. In Oregon, Nevada, Idaho,
and Dakota there was also falling of. In
silver the principal increase was in Idaho,
Montana, and New Mexico. Of the bull
lion production of the country, $50, 1854 1858
in gold and S31, 400, 792 in silver were de-
posted at mints and assay offices for COIN
age or return In bars to the depositors.
OF the gold deposits, s5,6oo, 900
were paid in bars for manufacturing
purposes, and the remainder went into
coinage. Of the total silver production,
SIS, $50, 900 was exported, $5,994, 900 fur
nished by mints and assay offices to manu-
facturers, $3.50, 900 by private refneries for
the same purpose, and S24, zoo, 900 used in
coinage. During the year there was a
greater decline in the amount deposited at
the mints and assay Offices than the differ
ence between gold production of 1881 and
1882, but there was larger amount of gold
consumed by the mechanical industries Of
the country. The amount of silver deposit
ed at the mints and assay offices increased
about S3,500, ZOO, which corresponds close
| ly to the increased production Of the year.

Going 1t Blind at an Auction Sale of
Packages.

That curiosity predominates in good
many people was exemplifed Tuesday.
There was sale of unclaimed goods at
the Adams express cffice. More than
one hundred people had gathered to see
what was to be seen, and if possible, to
invest "quarter or half" When the
door was thrown open Auctioneer
Adams appeared. THE contents of
these packages" he said, 'sare unknown
to anyone. They may be worth a great
however, that chances were even as to
their being worth nothing. The sale
progressed. Some of the people
didn't have courage to open their
packages on the spot. Several were
noted by a Patriot reporter. One
pale-faced, elegantly attired man, about
twenty, who carried silver-headed cane,
made purchase for one dollar. 1t was
a small box. He stepped out OF the
crowd to open it. The reporter followed
and watched him open the box. He
drew forth six pairs Of baby hose. Some
were white, some were blue, but the most
of them were about the color OF the
young mans face when he saw that the
reporter was watching him. He became
redder still as the reporter inquired :
scot any use for 'em?" He made no
reply, and hastily putting his socks into
his pockets he hurried away. Thus the
sale went on. Very few bargains were
struck, but buyers were numerous at
prices ranging from ten cents to several
dollars. One individual squandered
thirty cents for a package of returned
love.letters. He had his moneys worth
in the fun obtained from them.-Harris-
buro, Pa, } Patriot.

One Of Guiteau's Jurors Goes Crazy.

WASHINGTON, June Q.
The Guiteau case will never down for
good. 1t has come into prominence again
owing to the fact that P. ]. Sheahy, one Of
the jurors, has gone crazy and been sent to
the st. Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane.
The case is peculiarly pathetic in
some points. 1t is reported that
Sheahy believed that Guiteau was
insane and that the jury should have 50
found, but he had not the courage, In face
of the unanimity of the rest, to stand out and
say so. He was also afraid, it seems, of
what he knew was the public clamor on the
subject. Since Guiteau's execution it is
said he has been continually haunted by re-
Election upon the case, and the conviction
that he had voted to hangs lunatic, until his
mind had given way under 1t. His insanity
took fierce turn, so that his family were
afraid for their lives, and he has been placed
In cell at the asylum.

An Aerial Project.

An aerial project is occupying just now
the attention of scientists-that of max
ing the attempt to reach the easterly air
current supposed to exist at an altitude
of two miles, and which, it is claimed,
will carry air vessels across the Atlantic
with speed that will bring the shady
side of Pail Mall so close to the Ameri-
can dude he will need another chain
to ballast his enthusiasm. The London
and Paris Aeronautic Association are
cooperating with cis-Atlantic aero
nauts, and the experiments will shortly
be made. The start will probably take
place from the Polo Grounds in New
York, and it is believed the current sets
eastward with directness that will land
the voyagers in Spain. Its existence
first, and secondly its velocity will be
definitely settled by preliminary expert
ments. and if, as aerial navigators firmly
believe, and according to their own
statements have ample proof, such an air
wave placidly rolls above all electrical
disturbances, the children of this gener-
alton may have experiences to which the
steamboat and railroad Car are as the
electric light to the tallow dip of other
days.-Rochester Post. Express.

Wrecked at Sea.
CAPE MAY, N. j., June7s.

-ff CAPE MAY, N. j., June6.
The schooner Fannie A. Bailey, Captain
Manson Hume, Jr., came ashore in thick
fog on the north bar of Hereford Inlet at
4:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning. The ves-
sci left Windsor, N. S., fifteen days ago,
with cargo Of three hundred and seventy
tons of rock plaster consigned to Phil
adelphia. The thick weather and south
winds were encountered during the passage
down the coast, the land being hidden
entirely the greater part of the time. Some
time on Monday evening Barnegat light was
sighted, after which the fog settled and OBJ
structed the coast At 4:30 the next morn
ing the lookout reported breakers ahead.
In another minute the afterpart of the vessel
thumped upon the sand and Immediately she
bulged and commenced to show signs of
going to pieces The. weather was SO thick
that the Captain could not tell where she
was, and consequently could not decide as to
what course to pursue.
Hastily gathering in the ships papers,
which he afterward lost in his struggle with
the waves, the Captain ordered boat low
cred. Into this were lowered all but the
Captain and one sailor, and the boat was
dropped astern to wait the lifting of the fog.
Ere many minutes the heavy sea capsized
the boat, and all, including the Captains
wife and only son, boy OF three years,
were thrown into the sea. The now
almost distracted husband and father
lowered the only remaining boat and
succeed in getting the unconscious wife and
child into it, at the same time throwing a
line to the unfortunate steward, who was
struggling with the waves. The poor fell
low, however, was too much exhausted to
use it. The next wave capsized this boat
and the only means of succor remaining
wasthe line in the hands Of the man who had
not left the vessel. With this the Captain
reached the schooner, bearing in his arms
the al most lifeless form of his wife.
At eleven o'clock Captain Holmes, of Lifc
Saving Station 35, and Captain Ludlam, of
Station SO, manned the surf boat and brought
the saved to the beach. The crew consisted
of Captain Hume, F. Bruce (mate), Thomas
Shields and HarTyHuling (steward), Harry
Worden and Charles Daley, who wero
dI owned. Harold, the Captains son, was
also lost, but the mother was saved. The
vessel was nineteen years old, and hailed
from Portland, Me.

The Doors of tho JAN at Hermann, Mo.s
Broken In by q Band Of vigilants-Whit-
ney, Cringing Assassin, Taken From HIS
Cell and Hanged to q Tree.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, June 9.
A special from Hermann, No., says that
the city was thrown into state of intense
excitement, shortly after midnight Tuesday
morning, by the lynching of Whitney, the
murderer Of young Burchard. The mob
numbered about two hundred. They sur
rounded the Jail, guards being stationed
with drawn revolvers to keep back the curl
Gus crowd which was attracted by the
noise made in breaking the jail doors
The Jailer refused to surrender the keys,
when axes were brought. Whitney sup
posed the purpose of the assault, and
crouched upon his cell floor and prayed
fervently. His voice could be heard ont
side. The Jailer was forced to lead the
way to Whitney's cell, which was
then forced open, and long rope which
the mob had brought with them was put
around his waist. Half fainting, the
doomed man fell on his knees. When
once in the open air he asked leave to pray
again. This was granted, but as he con-
tinued his appeals to Heaven too long he was
jerked to his feet and dragged through the
town into a dense woods that covers the
bluffs, dozen Of the lynching party warn
ing the crowd not to follow, and intimidat-
ing them by displaying revoivers.
When the woods were reached, the prison.
er was handed over to dozen masked men.
He said his real name was Fisher, and not
Whitney; that his parents lived in Virginia;
he did not know whether he killed Bmchard
or not, as he and his partner, whose name
was Collier, fired five shots each. He then
shook hands with part Of the mob, bidding
them good-by, after which he was strung to
atree. The mob then dispersed.
1t was expected that the Court would hold
O al 70 fy-v fho hut
when it was announced yesterday that the
trial would 60 over to the fall term the in
dignation was general, and threats of lynch
ing were made. The mob was quite order
ly in its behavior. There was an absence of
conventional masks, and many Of the lynch
ers were recognized.
Whitney was desperate of the James
stripe. He and another outlaw named Col
lier, after robbing several stores in Gascon-
ade County on the 18th of last month, at
tempted to burglarize the store of Birchard
q Lakes, in the little town of Bein, during
which they shot and killed young Burchard,
q son of one of the proprietors.
