Reported Murdered.

There is a report around that Char
ley Clark, the blacksmith, who left
here year or two ago for Philips
burg, Montana, has been murdered.
The information came through Char
ley Damon, who received letter
from q friend of Clark's now in Mon
tana. The story is that Clark was
one of prospecting party who were
calming in the mountains and that
he had some trouble with one of the
crowd, hard case, known as "Red, /"
formerly of Virginia. Clark was
missed at the supper table one night
and upon search being made he was
found in the snow some distance
from the cabin with the fingers of
one hand broken and several other
marks of violence upon him. His
body was still warm when found.
He had saved up between $500 and
$500 while at work at his trade and
as none of the money was found
about him the supposition is that be
was murdered and robbed by the
man Red"

A Chance for Some Detective.

Since the murder of Mrs. Mahon-
ey by her husband, at Shaft No. 2
of the Sutro Tunnel, some months
ago, and the trial and conviction OF
Mahoney, a large number of people
have had their suspicious aroused
as to whether Mahoney did or did
not commit the Pollock murder.
Every body will remember how old
Mr.. and Mrs. Pollock were murder
ed some two years ago and their
house burned to conceal the crime.
Upon examination sufficient evil
dence was obtained to make it posi-
tive that the old couple had really
been murdered, probably fo- what
money and other valuables they
happened to have in their possession.
For some time after the affair hap
pened the authorities vainly endeav-
ored to find some trace of the per.
petrator, but after few months the
excitement died away and hardly q
person has thought of the matter for
year or more. There were some
who expressed the opinion, upon
hearing of the Mahoney murder,
that Mahoney was the man who
committed the Pollock murder, but
there was not much thought of it at
the time. Since then, however, it is
understood that several clues have
| been obtained which lead people to
suspect that Mahoney was in some
way implicated in the Pollock affair.
The reason given for Mahoney's
crime is that Mrs. Mahoney had in
some way become acquainted with
the fact that her husband was con-
cerned in the previous murder, and
during some of his drunken sprees
she had threatened to expose him
If he did not stop abusing her. 1t is
supposed that this made his mind
uneasy and that for fear she would
carry her threat into effect he made
up his mind to put her out Of the
way, and not having nerve enough
to perform the deed while sober he
became intoxicated and then beat her
to death. Whether there is anything
in this theory OF not, it is hard to tell,
but the chances are there is, and it
might be a pretty good starter for
some smart detective.

For the Newspapers.

That gigantic piece of patriotic
symbolism, the Bartholdi Statue OF
Liberty, the pedastel for which is
now rising out of New York harbor,
has been graphically transferred to
our Office through the courtesy OF
the Travellers Insurance Company,
of Hartford, a corporation which is
getting famous for good deeds OF
this character The company has
prepared especially for the American
press an edition of the official en-
craving of the great statute and has
sent copy to every newspaper in
the land. This engraving being is
sued under the auspices, and for the
benefit of the Pedestal Committee,
this act of the "Travelers" involves
its contribution of over Sl,7O0,
toward the erection of this splendid
national monument.

The Nevada Con.

The Nevada Consolidated Gold
and Silver Mining Company has
filed articles of incorporation and a
list of officers in the Office of the
County Recorder. This is the new
company of which ]. Elliott Condict
is President, and which has taken in
nearly ever claim in Palmyra and
Indian Springs district. 1t Is big
enterprise and it is hoped, for the
welfare of the country that this time
work will be begun and carried on
in a systematic manner, and that the
camp will at last come to the
front. Como is a good camp and
there are large and rich mineral de-
posits there without q doubt, but
it is a mistaken idea that the mineral
can be found without the expendi-
ture of a considerable amount of
money.

he will escape becoming a paymaster.

Various Short Things.

The desertions in the British army in
1883 were 3,7i7 altogether. Desertion
is prevalent almost exclusively among
the very young soldiers. OF the 4,317
cases reported last year only GIT, or just
one-sixth, were those Of men having
over three years service.
Lieutenant Abercrombie will next

Taxas forty years ago was practically
a desert and the handful of settlers
lived entirely on game, To-day there
are more than 10000 600 cattle, sheep

and the cotton crop last year was worth
more than the cotton crop Of the entire

The Rev. DIR. Wright, a distinguished
A. NJ. of Trinity College, Dublin, has

Of that University do not believe in de-

a personal God. Several are,
at the best, agnostics, if not atheists.
There is no way for diseiplining a Fell

that they came down with the rain.

Every Person . Lunatic wow and
Than

Pref David Swing says: The fac,
that druggist Of this city has ended a
human life by putting up the wrong
medicine awakens much Indignation.
He says many customers were In the
store; he was in a hurry; be put up
morphine instead Of some similar drug.
The inquiry arises whether the clerk is
able TO fill an order only when he has
no customers in the shop? How empty
must be the shop in order to secure
safety? Must the street in front of the
drug store also be emptyS What il a
fire engine goes by? What if a dog
fight occurs while the druggist is reach-
ing for quinine? Is he justified in tax
ing down s~trychnia? What II his moth
er-in-law has come to visit him2
Such questions come up and proper
ly; but there is another side TO the fact
of erring druggists, and that is, that
most persons are crazy part Of the time.
The exceptions are rare. Each one is
now and then a fool Of the most com
plete order of species. All the law and
penalties in the world will not avail to
make a druggist or anybody else have
his full senses through all his life.
Crazy moments or seconds will come.
A wise man will step backwards of a
porch or into a mud puddle, a great
philosopher will hunt for the specs that
are in his hand or on his forehead, a
hunter will sometimes shoot himself or
his dog, a barber will some
times forget his job and slice off a piece
Of a chin or al ear or the nose. A girl at
work at Marshal Fields had been feed
a great clothing knife for 10 years.
Last week she watched the knife come
down slowly upon her hand. Too late
she woke out of her stupor with one
h~and-gone. For a few seconds her
mind had failed and she sat by her ma
chine a temporary ~lunatic and had
watched the knife approach her own
hand.
The nan recently murdered on North
Clark street, of Chicago, "a the enemy

One of the most distinguished profess

near a canal. Walking along one even

He was brought to his senses by the
water and mud and the absurdity of the
situation. He had on q new suit of
clothes and a new silk hat, hut though
the damage was thus great he still laughs
over his adventure.
Our mail collectors find in the iron
boxes along the streets all sorts of papers
and articles which have been put in by
some hand from whose IN 1tions the
mind has become detached for a second.
4 glove, a pair of spectacles, a deed, a
mortgage, a theater ticket goes in and
on goes the person holding on to the
regular letter which should have been
deposited. This is called absent-mind-
edness, but this is a brief lunacy. A
lunatic is a person whose mind is habit
ually out of balance.

Sarah Bernhardt, spendthrift.

From Lucy Hsrper's Letter.
| really think hat this wonderful
woman has a screw loose somewhere in
her mental organization. She is not

America, she wrote to a brilliant French
author:

toss her desecrated bottines as a present

off. She never pays q bill without le-

servants and to the poor, has no idea oJ

dered three fortunes, is always dying and
