A FOUL ATTENPTTU MURDER.
ELS. HoIderby shot and Probably
Fatally Wounded.

Last Monday afternoon the news
reached the ears Of citizens that one
of our best citizens, E S. Holderby
had been shot and fatally wounded.
The cause of the shooting was
that three negroes, nasAed Dick lay
Tor, Charles aud Henry Ross, were
out hunting Oh Mr.. HOlderby's farm
and came very near his residence
and began shouting, when Mr. ID.
came out and ordered them OFT, aud
said he would have them indicted for
trasspassing on his premises, at which
one Of them, Henry Ross got very IN
dignant, took deliberate aim and
shot Mr.. II. in the face, when seeing
what ne had done they all run. Soon
as the news had spread several citi-
Gems started in pursuit and captured
two of them a short distance from
the scene. The were brought to the
Jail and locked up, several still in
chase of the other one caught him
on the Guyandotte wharfbeat.
DR.. Wall was at once summoned
to dress the wound, and after pickin g
Il shot out Of his face, pronounced it
a very serious wound. Il holes were
shot in his hat.
Much excitement prevailed, and
the negro would probably have
been lynched, had they not hid
him. Preliminary examination was
held Tuesday morning before JUS
tice Mitchell, resulting in Dick
Taylor and Charles Ross being
bound for $500, and Henry Ross was
bound for 81, 900 but as yet nobody
has gone their security. They were
removed to the Barboursville Jail on
Tuesday afternoon.

A New BiI Of ROguery.

An ingenious swindle, and one
which has been worked to great sue
cess, has been practiced on unsus-
pecting trade people, druggists, and
Others in Baltimore this week. The
latest three transactions took place
about dusk on Thursday evening, ard
the victims were all within a short
distance of each other. About the
time mentioned a well-dresSed young
man, attended by an engaging look
ing young lady, drove up in a fine
buggy in front of well-known drug
store in North Baltimore. He did
not alight, but called loudly for the
proprietor Of the store, who went out
10 see what was wanted. Then the
genteel young man, in hurried and
breathless way, explained that he
vas the son of a well-known coal
dealer with whom the druggist was
on very intimate terms. The lady
IN the carriage was his wife, and they
we're on their way to an entertain
ment, when he had suddenly discov-
,rad that he was without a cent of
money. Would the druggist kindly
loan him SO, as he was in too great
, hurry to go all the way back home
tor some. OF course the drugstore
man would. The boldness Of the re-
quest and the appearance of the
Young man were sufficient, and the
druggist went into the store, took
$40 from the drawer, returned to the
carriage, and handed the young man
The money.
After a few hurried thanks the
vehicle was driven rapidly off. 1t
stopped in front of grocery store
not more than a block away. The
Young man went through the same
programme, and obtained the money
asked for. Then the couple drove
. another drugstore near the bOun-
dairy, and by the same operation, ex-
eept that the young man represented
himself as the son of manufacturer
and the lady as his sister, the usual
s1Owas obtained. Other places were
,imilarly victimized, one Baltimore
street merchant losing s25, and it is
bought that the couple left Balti-
more with several hundred dollars
obtained from the confding shop
keepers. Baltimore Sun,

An Old RhIne City.

Bonn is not a large city. but It is cele- hrated among the cities Of Germany. It was the beauty of it's surroundings which influenced the founders of the Frederick Wilhelm university to locate that institution at this place. In front of it flows the stOried Rhine back of it are wooded heights, their slopes GOV cred with gardens and orchards, and in plain sight, little way up the river. gre the famous Seven mountains, rich ID as- .ocIatiOus of history, legend and romance. It was from one of them, 'the castled crag of Drachenfels,' that Byron viewed what he called the finest scene dong the Rhine. The sunny slopes of these mountains are planted with vine yard-, and their summIts crowned with ruined castles. Down the river a little way IS Cologne, the roof and towers of IFS magnificent cathedral rising high above the city. Like Cologne, Bonn is very old, having been founded by the Romans half a century after the time of Christ, and has witnessed the flow and rehuX of successive waves of civilization. The Northern barbarians swept down upon and almost effaced the work of rhe polished Romans; the Huns passed through this valley; Charlemange built palaces and cities anew. and for a while Frankish art and architecture hOurished, and sInce then 1t has been the theater Of inumerable battles and vicissitudes The ruined castles tell many stories of the kinghOod and chivalry of the middle ages, and the Rhine waves murmur trophies of the Nibelungen Lied.
 Here and there remains a bit Ot the old wall which once surrounded the city, and some of the streets were wind
 ing and narrow, but for the most part Bonn IS well built and in the modern fashion. The residence here of mum usr Ui English and other foreigners, and tha constant flow of travel have had an influence on the general improvement o. ,ha pla,e, on the manners of those who come in contact with them, and, one might add, on the tariff of prices.
 There are two or three frst-class ho- -c!s, any number of elegant dwellings in more private quarters for transient visit rr-, while ths fine villas along the Rhine OF back among the foothills, which are occupied iu summer by their owners, are numerous. Various members of the German nobility have their home here, -le highest in rank. perhaps, being the prince of Sake Welmsr, a nephew of the kais1r, who Is an officer in the Hussar reZimeut.-COr.

WE should not over estimate the ben sz.- ,a as derived from any one public enterprise.

The First Whistle.

The story Ot the first steam whistle on
 ne Missouri rIver is amusing. It's ill., ] troductIgn dates buck tl lS4i Al that
 time tue settlers On tue Missouri rive '
 were m the habit of making yearly visits ! 70 S. Louis to do their trading for 1 themselves and friends. They were not ! provided with daily intercourse with the | oatside world, aud many who liveC back 1 from the river, seldom, ii ever, saw a ! steamboat more than once year. It | happened that during the fall of lS4i ! the new steamboat Lexington started | up the Missouri river. Loaded down to ! the guards with freight.
 The steamer was provided with a steam whistle-the first u-ed on the Missouri river-aud as it happened no
 one knew GbOut IL except Warner, who
 was vag and lover Os a Joke. The
 night after leaving St Louis the pas sengers were collected together playing cards flor fuul ia the cabin, when the talk turned upon steamboat exploai1Es, then very common.

TIE Clifton Clarion in an article on the probable future of the copper mines in that locality, their handsome returns to their owners, and of the several prom ising mining districts in that section, expresses the behef that the copper bull lion output will be trebled in another year. That the Clarion has good grounds for tine prediction We have not tEe least doubt Globe is another perma- nent camp that will increase its yield of copper bullion. Good reports also reach us from the Ray camp, where they are taking out native copper in con siderable quantities, aside from ordinary ore. The Copper Queen which up to shls date has surpassed all other copper mines in Arizona in the quantity of bulllon produced, continues to yield all the ore that the smelters can make use of. There are also some fine copper mines in the southeastern corner Of Yavapai county which, ere long, may be expected to contribute their portion of copper bullion in Arizona. having in sight enough ore to keep a 31-ton smelter running four years, to say nothing about further developments. We have no doubt that the yield fl copper bullion from YavspH county, in the region of Prescott, will be greatly increased now that the Atlantic and Pacific railway has been extended through the county. Copper mines exist in every county in the Territory and the annual increase must be rapid and per manent.
