Seven tons of freight for the new
mill of Archie Farington's arrived at
Soda Springs on Tuesday.

ployed by Archie Farington al his
mine and mill in Garfield district, when
the latter is completed.
There has been more railroad passen.
ger travel to and from the country
south of here during the past month
than for several months past.
The official paper of the county
notes a spring, or rather midsummer
fight, at the county seat. Such little
scraps are almost of daily occurrence
here, and excite no comment, not even
when they extend to the forcibie serv
ing of writs of ejectment by self ap
pointed officers.
Encouraging reports are being re.
ceived every day from the prospectors
about here and all points along the
railroad. The number of men engaged
in prospecting this year is unusually
large, owing to the reduced workings
of the larger mines. and that these
men are satisfied this is as good a
country as any Of those at a distance

the cell, attended by Deputy Sheriff

Jamson and Father Brown, his spirit
ual adviser, preceded the procession.
Sarver walked with firm step, stood
upon the fatal trap with unconcern,
and while the sheriff was pinioning
his hands and feet, did not utter a
word or betray the slightest emotion.
The only words he spoke on the scat
fold were "Jesus crucified, have
mercy on my soulw When the black
cap and the moose were fixed, he eX
hibited no nervousness whatever. At
11:03 the trap was sprung and death
was almost instantaneous, his neck

was lowered seventeen minutes later.
and placed in a neat coffin and shortly
after the execution between 500 and
600 persons were permitted to gaze

Letters of regret were sent by Gov.

Hendricks was introduced by ex .Sena-
tor Thurman, and began by saying he
had before him an article written for
the Commercial Gazette and copied
very extensively by the republican
papers, to the effect that in 1863 club
was formed at what was called the
Stone house, in st. Clair township, this
county, by about seventy persons
who were disloyal to the Union, called
the Vallandigham club; that he
(Hendricks) was invited and came to
st. Clair township and helped
form the club. az wish to say"

titudes of false State ments the repub-
ican press is circulating about demo-
cratic candidates. ga lie never hurts
a man; it is the truth that hurts"
Mr.. Hendricks then turned to other
topics, first arguing that it was time
for change in administration even if
there were no scandal in the present
administration. He repeated the
argument on this point used in other
addresses. and in the main devoted
his time to the same line followed in
other places.
The meeting was very enthusiastic,
and by reason of its great size much
confusion existed, at times rendering
it difficult for the greater portion to
hear what was said.

BOSTON, September ga I2-year-
old girl of Framington, and negotia-
ble bonds to the amount of $6O,OOO
belonging to her mother, wealthy
lady, started for Boston to meet a
young man to elope with him. She
was arrested Saturday, the valuables
recovered and the girl taken home.
= The amount stolen was as follows:
$4,000 in bank bills; three $1,000
United States bonds; $1,000 worth of
diamonds; $50, GOO worth of railroad
stocks. The girls name is Sadie Rob-
lnson, and she is the daughter of G. E.
Robinson.
Sadie'S mind has been filled with
nonsensical ideas about runaway
marriages. When charged with steal
ing the yaluables she at first indig-
nantly denied it, but subsequently
confessed. She said that on Friday
she took valise with her when she
went to school in Boston, and had
given it to woman. She told blood
curdling story of having her life
threatened unless she complied with
the demand for money. She said she
met the woman at Albany station,
and gave her the valise containing
the valuables. The valise and valua-
bles were recovered in a drug store,
where Sadie had left them, promising
to call for them to-day. She confess
ed that she loved the young man,
whose name she refused to give, and
had taken the money with the inten-
tion of eloping.

The Mexican fired without word. A
man fell dead. The body was brought

shooting the robbers on sight. The
work is slow, the men fearing to get

viding Blair and Cambria counties.
