rwo Of tbe Thieyes taken In.

Sheriff Sweeney was the happiest mar in
town Yesterday over a telegram received
from Deseret, Utah, from Big SIM" an
DOuncing that he had captured and was
holding al that place, two OF the three
horse thieves that dug out Of the County
jail here q week ago last night. 1t will be
remembered that Sim started from Eureka
last Sunday at 5 o'clock in the morning.
At McMenomie's ranch he was Joined by
goddie McMenomie and George Wedekind.
These three travelled on in pursuit OF
Spanish Abe" and Frank Hoppin who
we're, perhaps, five or six hours ahead Of
them and provided with a band Of stolen
horses from which they could select fresh
ones to keep going ahead. In less than six
DAYS the officers rode in the neighborhood
d 800 miles, or more than that, If they
vat of from the main travelled roads.
Gait. Mater and officer Kaye, it seems,
from what we can learn, took another route
and did not strike the trail Of the thieves.
|, is suggested that "Abe" and Hoppin,
Il they know the law. will apply for release
on the ground that our officers had no au-
thority to arrest them in Utah. But they
will be held any way to await a requisition
from Gov. Adams ifithis be necessary. The
officers who made the trip have had rough
time Of it aud deserve credit for holding
out to the end. Bart Hines, the third es-
y cape, has not been heard from yet. 1t WAS
reported that he was out on Prospect
Mountain, lodging about as crazy as a bed
quilt bot the report is not confirmed.

A POLITICAL SENSATION.
Reported Combination of In De-
mOcracy with MOrmOndOm.


We give below a dispatch received last
night in the press report. 1t is, in our
opinion, only one of a thousand canards
commonly started for political effect on
the eve of every national election. The
Democratic party, as a whole, is no more
In favor of tolerating polygamy than the
Republican party. Such a scheme as is
proposed could never be carried out, any
way, and the Mormons, who are nobody's
fools, know this well enough. While there
are individual Democrats as well as in
diVidual Republicans who believe that,
under the Constitution, the Mormons may
not be legally restricted in their polyga-
nous practices, still neither party is dis
posed to tolerate the institution. No
party that should identify itself with the
thing could ever survive the degradation
resulting from it. There is, notoriously,
one Democrat with whom the Mormons
can cultivate no friendship as polygamists,
and for whom the Mormons entertain the
bitterest hatred. We refer to the present
Congressman from Nevada. Utah apply
ing, as a ~polygamous community, for ad-
mission into the Union as a State, would
certainly encounter his most determined
opposition. But here is the canard:
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE National Re-
publican Committee is in receipt of infor-
nation from a source that they consider
trustworthy that the Mormon Church in
Utah decided soon after the nomination of
Cleveland and Hendricks was made to
take a hand in the pending canvass by Civ
ing aid of q substantial character to the
Democratic ticket. The information is to
the effect that at a council Of the Mormon
Church held at Salt Lake City, it was
voted to give to the National Committee
one tenth of the Church fittings to be
used in aiding the election of Cleveland,
and, if possible, a majority of both Houses
Of Congress. In return for this contribu-
ton, the Mormon council secured the
promise from the Democratic Committee
that, in the event of success, Utah shall be
admitted into the Union as a State. As an
additional inducement for Utah's admis-
sion, the council promised that she will,
as a Democratic State, send two Demo-
Gratis to the United States Senate.

A Valuable Invention.

Reno Gazette: Andrew Fraser. the Reno
foundrymen, who, for the past six weeks,
has been in Washington, looking after his
telegraphic cutoff invention, has written
that he expected his patent to issue on
Monday last. 1t is claimed for this inven-
ton that so per cent of the electrical force
now lost will be saved. Should the in
ventors realize what they claim for their
'cut-of" they will have something better
than all the foundries in the world.

Fine Nucleus for n Scientific
Library.


L. W. Davis, Esq, Superintendent OF
the Richmond Company's furnaces, lost a
valuable lot Of books, authorities on min
ing, metallurgy, etc., in the fire which de-
stroyed his residence in the Lamoureux
building. He has imported a fine lot OF
works to replace them, from London, En-
gland. They are probably as valuable a
lot Of the sort as can be found in the State.
As inquiries are often made in regard to
the best books for reference in metallurgy,
ETC., Mr.. Davis has permitted US TO pub
lish the list, which is as follows:
Text Book of Geology" by Archibald
Geike 1852 edition., used at the Cam
bridge University. "Pyrology or Fire
Chemistry" by Ross, illustrated and
illuminated. elements Of Metallurgy,'
by J.. Martin Phillips. "Percy's Metal.
lurgy of Lead and Silver
A series Of three books. practical
Treaties OF Metallurgy," adapted from the
last German edition of Prof. Kerl't
Metallurgy," viz: First, Cooper and
Iron;" second. Lead, Silver and Zinc;'
third, steel, Fuel" etc. "Plattner on
Blowpipe." "Fresenius' Qualitative An.
alysis." "Sutton's Handbook of Vol
umetric Analysis" a very valuable work.
DIR. G. F. Rammelsberg's Guide to
Course Of Cumulative Chemical Analysis,
especially OF Mineral and Furnace Pro
ducts" "Johnston's Practical Draughts-
man." "Mitchell's Latest Work on Prac-
teal Assaying."
Mr.. Davis will add to his collection
OF scientific books from time to time,
and make his library OF scientific reference
and research as complete as possible. Hi
list of books was selected for him in Lon
don by the Secretary of the Richmond
Company in that city.

The examination Of o. H. Gray, Peter
Breen and A. 7. Stearns for admission to
che bar was finished two or three days ago
The prospective barristsrs tell US that the
committee came pretty near finding out all
they knew in the course Of 600 questions,
. few of which could be answered by yes
or no., but many Of which required an.
swers from q page to two pages of writing
on foolscsp. The examination at SOM
points took a discursive turn and gathered
in trouble beyond the severe limits Of
Blackstone, Kent and Greenleaf. The
examiners seemed TO thirst for the very
heart Of the candidates information.
Among the pleasant digressions that the
Board INDUCED in to measure the general
intelligence Of the students were these two
questions: "How many letters are there
in the alphabet" and "How did New Jersey
come to be 30 called ?" We take it for
granted that the papers are good in all
three cases, Notwithstanding the alphabet
and New Jersey, and that the Supreme
Court, to which august body they have
been forwarded, will pass upon them
favorsbly. The local Board of Examiners
has nothing to do after the examination
but to certify that ii was properly con
Quoted.
