The mills and mines included in this

1884 at least 25 per cent. Four more
mills will be added to this list in few
months, and the bullion output of 1854
will roll up handsome sum among the
millions.
There should be Mining Bureau es-
tablshed in Los Angeles, where all
these features of the business could be
collected and made known to the pub
liz, and monthly exhibit Of bullion be
posted. Such a Bureau would be a
great convenience to mining men. pros
pectors and manufacturers of mining
tools and machinery. Probably some of
our real estate agents would set apart .

Of Mining Exchange could be held and
all mining discoveries and bullion ship
ments be bulletined. The expense of
keeping up such Bureau would be
merely nominal. and would be only q

parties interested. In connection with
this Bureau an Assayer should be

A Brutal Murder.

Nellie Howard, an English woman, was ter
ribly burned on Nov. 80 In a low dive in
Omaha where she was living with her sister
Lizzie aud the latter's paramount, John Thomp-
son. 1t was given out that the burning was
caused by the explosion Of lamp. The police
man who responded to the alarm noticed that
there was only one lamp, which was burning
without any sign of having exploded. The third
day after Nellie expired In horrible agony.
Just before she died she told the newspaper
men and Others who we're present terrible
tale Of brutality. Some time ago Thompson
robbed store in Omaha and she privately In
formed the police. Thompson learned of this
and threatened to XII her. as he had often
made such threats Nellie paid no attention to
him. Shortly after midnight Saturday, Nov.
80, Thompson and her sister Lizzie seized
Nellie and threw her on the floor. Thompson
held her while Lizzie saturated her clothes
with kerosene oil. Thompson struck match
and set the woman on fire. She writhed and
shrieked In agony, but the wretches smothered
her cries till they thought she was so badly
burned that she could not speak, when they
gave the alarm and told the story Of the lamp
explosion. They were arrested and locked up
on q charge of murder.

The Last Of the False Prophet.

The mudir of Dongola telegraphed Dec. 3,
from Cairo, that he has just been Informed
that the false prophet has died from cholera,
and that his death has created alarm IN the
rebel camp.
We append brief sketch of this interest
ing parsonage who has given Egypt such
lively WORK for some months past:
Alegendary prophecy was current among the
"Senoussia' which foretold that at a certain
date, feckoned FROM the time OF Mohammed,
an inspired guide or ''mahdi" would appear,
who should call the Moslem populations to
arms, and who would be victorious over all
foes Of their faith. The person who came for
ward, about three years ago. claiming himself
TO be this mahdi, had long been well-known In
the Soudan as religious enthusiast Of the
recognized class of dervishes. He was native
Of DoDgola, named Mohammed Ahmed, son Of
carpenter, apprenticed TO the tanners
trade at Senaar, but afterwards trained as q
dervish in the most noted schools OF that
order at Khartoum and Berber, whence in
| 1870 he went TO Kama, on the White Nile, Tor
his complete initiation BIZ the eminent per-
| ceptor Noureddin. He lived for time as a
| devout hermit In grotto on an islet OF the
Nile at Kama. Later he returned to his home
| and set up dervlsh school, married Tour
| wives, and seemed TO have settled down at
| Dongola until, In May, 1881, he announced
that he had through faith in the prophet OF
Mecca, received supernatural revelation,
| and that ne was to be the eonquering reformee
of Islam. The governor OF the Soudip, then
Reouf Pasha, hearing Of this, gave orders for
the arrest of Mohamlned Ahmed, but
he escaped TO Kordofan and raised a general
revolt in that province and in Darfur, which
lies west of Kordofan. Shortly before the
Egyptian troubles Of 1882 force of 5000
men were sent against FL Mahdi, but could
not oyertake him, and he continued TO
grow stronger from month to month.
| AT the request OF the khedive the great
Mohammedan theological university at
Cairo, called FL Azhar, declared this "false
eternal fire, but this did not pre- vent him
from raising an army Of more than 100000
men, and giving Egypt and her English allies
as lively work for year or 30 past as they
| could desire.

sudden Death of Rev. J. M. Arnold.

The Rev. j. Mott Arnold, wEo has
| for years been q recognized power in
| the Methodist church--especially in
Mathematical suddenly in Detroit on
the 9th inst, of heart disease. He had
for some time had premonitions OF
such death, but they were not sufli-
Gent TO deter him from work. He came
down to business in the morning and
worked till nearly noon with no pre-
sage of disaster. He ate light lunch
and left the houOe on an errand in that
immediate neighborhood, but when he
camo back Mrs Arnold noticed that he
seemed distressed. He said in answer
to some question of solicitude by his
wife that ho felt quite ill, and sank
heavily into chair. Almost immedi-
ately afterward he became unconscious
and died without struggle at .2:30
p. m.
Mr. Arnold was born in Aekway,
Greene county, N. Y. Oct. 10, 1924,
and entered the ministry as soon as he
attained his majority. For Number
of years he did the hard d-udgery of o
pioneer Methodist preachers life, but in
1861 he stepped from an appoint
ment ut Dexter, Mich, which
he had filed with great fidelity
and with noteworthy results, to the pas
torate of the First (now CENTRALLY Meth
odist Episcopal church of Detroit, VIXEN
it Yves located on the corner of Wood
ward avenue and State street. On leav-
ing that appointment he established the
Methodist Book Depository in Detroit,
which he managed successfully from
1864 till 1873, in which latter year he
sold out to John Willyoung, The "De-
pository" is now a branch OF the Metho-
dist Book Concern. Since 1878 Mr..
Arnold has been editor of the Michigan
Christian Advocate, though for the last
few years he has had for associate edi-
tor the Rev. j. II. Potts, ID. ID. In the
editorial office Mr. Arnold's energy and
tenacity of purpose were conspicuously
shown in his writings. Indeed, It is a
fact well known to his closer friends
that bis intellectual growth was marked
and vigorous down to the last day Of
his life. His editorials during the last
year were characterized by unusual
strength and fire, and his activity never
abated in the least. He was q man of
strong convictions. an earnest, fighting
Christian, believer in Methodist
government and ordinances through
and through, and a manly, straight
forward character from crown to sole.
The survivors In his immediate family
are Charles w. and JOHN F, Arnold,
Mrs. Matte K. Boughton, of Ann Arbor,
and Miss Sella f. Arnold. There is
also an adopted daughter, Clara Pearl
by name, who Is about 10 or IL years
old. John and Sella are students at
Albion College.
His Michigan charges began at Litch-

An Interesting Case.

The case Of Harmon Bros. VS.. Geo.
N. Potter on trial in the circuit court
at Charlotte for several days, termi-
mated Nov, 80 in judgment for the
plaintiffs of $500 and costs. The case
is one of much interest to shippers, and
the intricate legal questions involved
gave it special interest to lawyers.
Plaintiffs are grain dealers in that
city, and claim that on June %, 1888,
defendant Potter of Potterville, same
county, desired to purchase 4,444 BUSH
els of No. 2 red wheat with which to
fill contract with Port Huron dealer
which he had agreed to deliver by July
following; that they agreed to
furnish the quantity on that date, to be
delivered at the elevator of p. p. San

wheat by rail from the elevator OF j.

livered at the time agreed upon, and in
all things conformed 10 the contract,
defendant refused TO accept the same,
and plaintiffs were compelled 10 sell
the wheat at greatly reduced price.
The action was brought to recover the
difference between the selling and cou-
tract prices, also the expense of trans

that the wheat was not to be accepted
