Long and Successful Career.

NEW YoRK, June |.
'tRufe" Minor, q noted bank robber, was
arrested here last Tuesday on a charge of
robbing the Commercial Bank of Augusta,
Ga, in March. of 5000. He was arrested

from the First National Bank of Detroit, and
was also one of the men who robbed the Bank
Of Baltimore of 200 on Nov. 25, 1882

the crime by legal tecbnicality. He got the
credit of being implicated in the robbery Of
the Middletown Savings Bank Of s56. 900 in

stole 81 900 worth of railroad bonds from
the Safe Deposit company in Philadelphia,

in robbing the Brooklyn postofiice. He was
arrested in both instances but with his usual

An EastpOrt Vessel Abandoned at Sea-
The Captain and Crew Saved.
BosToN, June |.

BosToN, June l.
The steamer Linn Odee reports that when
three miles east of Highland Light she picked
up the master and crew of the schooner
Cohasset of Eastport. 1t is said the schooner
foundered of Cape Cod, June lst. She was
bound from New York to Newburyport with
coal.
The master and crew of the schooner
Cohasset of Eastport reports that on June
ST. the schooner sprung aleak, caused by the
heavy sea and straining of the vessel. The
water gained on the pumps so fast that they
were obliged to abandon the Cohasset and
take to the small boat and later on the same
day were picked up and brought to this port
where they proceeded to Eastport last night.

plated.
CANTON, May 81.
At 3 o'clock A. NJ, the thermometer in

frost will be a great injury to apple blossoms
to say nothing of the house plants that the
ladies had just put out.

day morning. Ice froze an inch thick in
some places, and at Alexander Hills

upon trees look like the fall of the year.
What effect it will have on the fruit trees
cannot yet be determined. Our farmers are
looking little gloomy.

For the two conspicuous candidates. You
find little system, but great enthusiasm in
Blaine, while Arthu-'s followers are like a
well-drilled army. This was remarked by a
prominent delegate, who expressed his sur
prise. He said that the Pacific coast dele
gates had started out for the convention firm
in the belief of Blaine's nomination. and that
after the first ballot, on which the compli-
mentary votes for Arthur, Edmunds, Logan
and Sherman would be given, there would be
a stampede to the standard of Blaine.
Since their arrival here, however, their con-
fidence had been greatly shaken by Arthur's
adherents.

session late in the afternoon, at which the
delegates expressed determination to stick

THE STATE OF IDAHO.

The title to this article is at no dis
tant day bound to be the name which
will add new star to the American
Constellation. Events cluster around
common center, and follow each
other in such rapid succession that it
is impossible for the most casual OBJ
server not to predict the early admis-
sion of Idaho as State, and it is left
with the intelligence of its present
population whether the Territory shall
be disintegrated or the admission of
Idaho, and the whole of Idaho, con.
summated. The longer we remain in
our juvenile clothes, the greater will
DO the complications which will at
tend its orgahic and Territorial con-
struction, and perhaps Idaho may
eventually pass to the condition of a
sort case in printing Office, or of that
tabled cheese which was nibbled upon
IRON every direction until nothing re-
NAMED.
The question of ability to support
State government may be and has
been considered under the light of o
penny-wise and pound-foolish policy.
while the privileges, powers of devel
opment, and fostering of natural re-
sources which attach to a SOVEREIGN
State are ignored, and in many in
stances purposely kept from public
notice. We make this assertion, and
challenge croakers to refute it,. This
is the class of men who pirate about
ambitious politicians, and would wear
short clothes until they would be ex-
changed for shroud, and sit compla-
Gently by while, piece by piece, the
Territory of Idaho shall have been
Parceled out to surrounding States.
Our industrial status is undergoing
rapid and radical change. Hun
dreds OF miles of railroads and tele-
graphic wires have brought us nearer
to the outside world and instituted an
intelligent electric current. A little
OF real life is beginning to be felt.
The people are clamorinc for local
government. They would like to elect
Governor-would like to have
voice in the national councils. as we'll
as figure head. They are getting
sick of imported officials. They want
a treasury plethoric with common
school fund; they want to vote for
PRESIDENTS and share the blessings.
the burdens and glories of sovereign
State.
An economical State government
there is no t;oaht, would result in the
greatest general good to the greatest
number of our people, and on that be-
lei we shall act until convinced of
our error. Idaho is larger than Ne
vada, she has Il more fruitful soil, a
more congenial climate, and an equal
area of valuable mines, yet Nevada
to-day is in more flourishing condi-
ton than Idaho. Her State bonds are
at premium, her schools and public
institutions are proudly and firmly an
chored' and yet she supports an ex
pensive State organization. Idaho can
do all this, and more, but only as
State.

Messrs. Finnegan & Boyer, the brick
and mason work contractors on the
pork house, began active operations
Monday with large force of men and
already have the foundation walls
nearly completed. These walls are three
feet thick, built of Sioux Falls stone.
and extend four feet above the surface
of the ground where the brick work be-
gins. Including the basement the
building will be four stories high and
will not only be large and massive but
willpresent a fine appearance. An Iowa
gentleman who has had large expert
ence in such matters, is here for the
purpose of experimenting theainternal
construction of. the building and it will
be equipped throughout in a manner
agreeing with the latest and best sys-
TEN known to such institutions. 1t is
calculated to have the house ready to
begin operations by the first of Octo-
Der. The following are the officers of
the Yankton Pork Packing company:
Gen. w. II. III. Beadle, president; j. E.
Bruce, vice presidents; j. Il. Goldman,
superintendent; c. j. b. Harris, secre-

from this that it is Yankton institu-
tion and that its financial backing is
ample.
