Brief Mention.

Streator is now Illuminated with seventy
electric lights, the number of which will soon be
increased.
The will of the late John Campbell, of Rock
ford has been set aside by a jury. Some 1874, 900
is involved.
Mrs. Mary Griffith, of st. Elmo, had a dispute
with her husband. The trouble was ended by
the lady committing suicide.
VIM. Fl. Bryner, of Decatur, married two
years, quarreled with his wife. and in a fit of
anger he took a big dose of Rough on Rats"
which caused his death.
Mayor Switzer. of East Dubuque, has rendered
his resignation, because of a difference of opin-
ION as to what grants should be made by the
city to a certain manufacturing concern.
Mrs. Mary A. Cummings, an old lady well
known in J~erseyville, celebrated her seventy
ninth birthday at her home, near that city, on
Saturday. She has lived there sixty three
years.
The store-house owned by Sheriff HodG1x at
Unity, occupied by VIM. Ireland, as a general
country store, was destroyed by fire. Building
and contents a total loss. Supposed to be COW
cred by insurance.
Frederick silgar, of Murphysboro, has been
found guilty of murder in the first degree. This
is his second trial. The first time he was found
guilty, but on an appeal the verdict was reversed.
Silgar brutally murdered a man with a club in
his field.
The supposed murderer of Bush Mahan has at
ldSJ DeCu Cdpuuf6u Inc arrest wis maze dJ
Albion. The fellow gave his name as Meadows.
He was seen half an hour before the murder of
Mahan. Meadows's clothes had ~splatters of
blood on them, and from his general demeanor
he is thought to be the right man. He is now in
Jail at Mt. Carmel.
The jurors in the late Emma Bond case are
sorely troubled. One of them, it is said, cries Il
great deal of the time, and another one runs
when he sees any one coming to his house.
Boone Isaacs is probably the most afflicted. He
was engaged to be married to a very handsome
and accomplished lady of Montgomery county,
but since the verdict was announced she has
broken her engagement.
The Illinois State battle flags are to be placed
in the art gallery in the State capitol in Spring

very hard matter to fix it so that it could be pre-
served at all. The blue background for the
stars is nearly all gone, but a few threads re-
naming, and a piece or two of bronze showing
where once the stars were.

THE COLORADO CALAMITY.
Twenty-Three Additional Bodies Recovered
from the Crested Butte Mine.

DENVER, Jan. 26.-Twenty-three more burned
bodies were to-day recovered from the Crested
Butte mine, making fifty-seven in all, but two
remaining. Those recovered to-day were all
found in chamber No. ?, and in the passage-way
in the immediate vicinity. Many have arms and
legs broken, skulls crushed in, and clothing
burned, and in many cases that drops off in rags
when the body is moved. The hair is burned
from the heads, and all the skin is burned off
the face and other exposed portions of the bodies,
leaving them an utterly unacceptable mass of
raw and bleeding flesh. The appearance of these
bodies is horrible beyond description, and it is
not likely any of. them can be recognized. Many
of the faces have coaldust ground into them
until they are black as coal itself.
To-day the company began the erection of a
large frame building, where the bodies will be
placed and where the funeral services will be
held. Crowds are coming on every train and on
snow shoes from all the surrounding camps. The
C., {. & |. company, besides the g rection of the
building spoken of. will bear all funeral expenses
and make ample provision for the needy families
of the deceased. 1t is thought the other two
bodies will be got out of the mine by midnight.
The inquest began at noon to-day. This evening
mine boss Gibson came running into a hotel, and
said he was in the mine, when a miner came
rushing in. gave him a pistol, snatched his lamp,
and told him to run for his life, as a party of
men were coming up from town to lynch HIM.
But at this hour (midnightl no hostile emon-
STATIONS have been made, and 1t is thought none
will be attempted. The excitement has entirely
subsidized.
vt the inquest to-day Gavin Dickson testified
that he went into the mine with Anderson, who
was assigned to room No. Is, entry No. ,. He
had a naked lamp. Heard the fire boss tell him
before entering that his room was unsafe, and
not to go in without a safety lamp,
or wait till the fire boss re
turned and mended the broken brattice.
Anderson went in after this conversation with
a naked lamp. The ventilation where the wit
ness was working has been good. Witness
thought mine-boss Gibson was sometimes over
cautious. Gibson had caught the witness using
an open light when he had been ordered to use
a safety lamp. and had taken it away from him.
Others testified to similar facts.

Destruction of the Minnesota Penitentiary-
One Convict Burned to Death.

Destruction of the Minnesota Penitentiary-
One Convict Burned to Death.
M-INNEAPoLIs, Jan. 26.-Early this morning a
fire broke out in the State prison at Saltwater,
and in spite of all efforts all the buildings were
destroyed. The fire caught under the main office
of the car company, and when the department
arrived it was unable to do any effective work on
account of the dense smoke. At l o'clock it be-
came evident the prison in the rear of the offices
was doomed, and Company K, of the State mi
litia was called out to assist in removing the CON
victs, about $50 in all. They were shackled to-
gether by means of long, fine chains, and re-
moved to different points on the prison grounds.
The loss is about $50, 900, all by the State, and
partially covered by insurance. Afortunate fea-
ture consists in the saving of all the private and
personal letters of Senator Sabin. The fire was
marked by an act of great heroism by George P.
Dodd, OF the saltwater company,

are lost, his name cannot be told.
