A lawyer ought not to sell his ser


A lawyer ought not to sell his .sser-
vices for the promotion of in
justice and knavery. Swindlers q
all types are aided by lawyers in their
depredations upon society. The mock
broker who operates in Wall street,
and strips green country spectators
OF their hard-earned gains by th.
most nefarious roguery, always has
an able lawyer as an accomplice. The
gentleman by whose agency nest OF
these rascals was lately broken w
says: "The great difficulty in stop
ping swindlers Of this class is that
the rascals make enough money to b.
liable to employ the best of legal ad4
vice. and are, moreover, careful to as,
nothing which will render them liable
to arrest" This is the testimony Of
lawyer, Mr.. Ralph Oakley, Of New
York. 1The best legal advice can
be had, then, in New York CITY for
such purposes. It would be more
difficult to believe this if its truth was
not SO often illustrated in the stupen-
|dous frauds and piracies of great cor
Iporations, all of which are carefully
Engineered by eminent lawyers. Our
modern "buccaneers''-our brave rail
road wreckers are in constant con
lsultation with distinguished lawyers.
:. They undeniably have ''the best Of
legal advice" in planning and exc
cutting their bold iniquities. [Ths

THUNDER and lightning, hail, rain
and wind, all on the rampage last
Friday night, was enough to inspire
the most prosaic mind with the poetic
idea that the elements were on spree
and were having free-for- all iambo-
rec The lightning, every few seconds,
lit up the green earth below, and the
black clouds above, with binding,
sudden glow, and seemed to shove,
for the time being, the darkness from
the face of the earth. The lightning
flashes were unusually weird and
bright, and the thunders rolled and
roared while the rain andhail poured
and the wind scared swiftly south.

New Miner's Pick.

James p. Davis and Juan G.. Rob
bins Of Banner, Boise county, Idaho,
have patented through the Mining
and Scientific Press patent agency All
improved form Of miners pick, so
constructed that the head may be
easily attached to, or detached from,
the handle. Lugs are formed on the
sides of the central portion of the
head, SO asato form dovetailed grooves
or channels between them and the
sides Of the pick-head. At the end
of the handle are two short metal
straps, one on each side, riveted on
SO as to project beyond the end of
the handle. Upon the edges of the
handle are fixed plates, having their
ends just flush with the end Of the
pick handle AMI Of sufficient width
to give firm bearing against which
the portion Of the pick next the han
die will rest when it is fixed in place.
Through the head Of the pick an open
ing is made transversely and similar
openings are made through the straps
on the end of the handle. When the
pickhead has been slipped on be-
tween the straps, the edges Of which
are dovetailed to correspond with the
grooves upon the opposite sides OF
the pick, it will rest upon the end
plates, and the hole in the straps will
coincide with the one through the
head of the pick.
| A key and glib are fitted into the
holes III the strap and head, and wher
, the key is driven in tight the pick viii
be held very firmly and rigidly to the
handle. By this construction one
; handle may be used and any humble
of picks Of different weights may b
fitted to it; also, other tools which cal
J be used with such handle. When
ever a pick becomes dull, it may b.
removed and another one put into tn
handle, and so on, and when severa
picks are ready to be sharpened the
E may be taken away to the blacksmith
shop and sharpened and returne
;, without carrying the handles wit
them.
The picks and handles all bein
e made interchangeable, it will not mai
e ter what pick in particular man ma
e receive, it will always fit the handl
e which he has. When the picks ar
n to be carried away or out of the mil
ing shaft or place where they are us
: ed, they can be bundled together
comparatively small space and SCI
, up in the bucket without much dan
ger Of having any of them hit SON
obstruction SO as to knock them Oh
: They are always very convenient fl
prospecting purposes, as handle an
pick can be packed up in small con
pass. When used in dry places the
% is no danger of the pick becomir
.p loose by the drying up and contra
70 ton Of the handle.

Round up Of Jpral-itiss.


EVERY mining camp needs just
Esuch men as James Munroe. The first |
|trip he made east, several years ago,
|he induced representatives OF the
FElmira company to visit this county
|for the purpose of examining quartz
Emines and reporting to the company
the chances for good Investments.
IAmong the mines examined were the
Banner and others then owned by G.
EW. Crafts. One of the parties sent
Eout by the company was a practical
miner, and he advised the company
to buy the property. The sale was
soon made, and the Elmira company
/ has mining property as valuable as
auy in Idaho. Going back to first
/ causes, it was Mr. Munroe who caus-
| ed the Ehnira company, by plain, I'M
! vanished statements of facts, to send
/ out members Of the company to ex
anime the mines and report. Last
! winter Mr.. M. organized stock com
paoy to work the Golconda mine, and
! sold several hundred feet in the Sill
| yer Chief, an extension Of the Ban
ner. The "Silver Chief Company
! Incorporated, will commence work
soon on shaft to be sunk to the
| depth of two hundred and eighty
! feet. The shaft viii be put down
i some distance from the vein, and
] when the desired depth is reached, q
81 drift will be run to the vein. 1t is
u the intention to tap the ledge about
81 two hundred feet from the Elmirs
81 Company's western end line of tht
u Banner, and on level with tina
I company's lower tunnel. The Silve
81 Chief is known to be good for slxt,
81 feet west OF. the Banner claim. 4
Il drift was run on the vein that dis
lance, it being an extension of TIN
Elmira Company's west drift. Th
Silver Chief ore taken from this drift
is of the same character and richnes
as that in the Banner claim at tina
depth. 1t Is as certain as anythn!
of the kind can ha that the Siiyn
Chief Company will put up a mi
next year. Mr.. Munroe's energy
experience and influence has bee
the means Of bringing more capt.;
into this county for the working {
mines than has ever come in throug
the efforts of any other citizen Of tn
county.

rNew York rimesl
Of,Icer Smith. Of the fifth precinct,
BROOKLYN. Eastern district, walker
briskly along through Division avenue
near broadway, at II o'clock last eve
ming. twenty feet behind a man ana q
woman who were talking earnestly 10
pether. Suddenly the woman WIN
drew her hand from her companion $
arm and turned and faced him. AS
she did so Officer Smith saw some
thing rlisten in the starlight and saw
the man raise his arm. Then three
shots rang out in the little square. the
edge of which the two had just reached
and the woman fell TO the sidewalk.
The man turned and ran across
Broadway and down Eleventh street.
Near Broadway he paused raised Tue
revolver TO his lips, and again pulled
the trigger. The ball passed through
his mouth, entered his brain, and killed
him almost instantly.
When officer Smithreached the woman
she was unconscious. With the assist
ance of some people who had gathered
he carried her to Livingston's drug
store, at $40 Broadway, and sent out a
call for an ambulance. One came, and
with it Surgeon DimOn. of st. Catha-
rine's Hospital. Under his treatment
the woman partially regained conscious
ness. and in a faint voice answered the
questions put to her. The surgeon I'M
derstood her to say that her name was
Susannah Leisar that she was a. SER
want in the employ of family in Deyoe
street. and that she had an uncle living
in the same street. Her companion S
name was. the surgeon understood her
to say. Valdine Hoefier. She had known
him for some time. and last evening
went out for a walk with him. He
asked her to marry him and she refused.
Then he shot her.
This meagre information was drawn
from the girl. who is twenty-five years
old, pretty. and was well dressed. with
the greatest difficulty. In all the peo-
pie who swarmed to the drugstore
there was no one who seemed to know
her. and nobody who looked at the face
of the dead man could give any definite
information concerning him. He was
apparently about thirty-five years old,
and one man, who held lantern down
TO the rather handsome face, said that
Hoeffer was baker. and lived at No.
o. Devoe street. There is no such
name as IIoefier's in the Directory.
While this information was being
drawn from the girl the surgeon was
searching for her wounds. Every ball
had entered her body. Two Of them
had lodged in her right shoulder and one
in her left side. The latter, DR.. Dimon
said, was very likely to prove fatal.
All Of the wounds bled profuscly. and
when the young woman was taken to
st. GATHERINGS Hospital she was in a
critical condition. and the doctors
thought She would probably die.
The >cven-barrelled revolver with
which IIoefIer shot Miss Leisar and then
himself was found where he fell. There
was no mark on it to indicate who or
what he was. The police up TO mid
night were unable to learn anything
more definite concerning either the man
or the woman.

BELIEVES IN BOILING DOWN.
Why Cleveland Wrote a One. Column III.
stead Of a Tep-Columu Message.

A Washington %. c. special says :;
President Cleveland spent the entire
day in shaking hands with legions OF
people who called in delegations and
otherwise to pay their respects. To a
friend who facetiously inquired " how
he liked it," he replied abruptly
THANK God, the excursion tickets
have only three days more to

that Cleveland asked any assistance in
the preparation Of his inaugural. 1t is
even said that not member of his pro-
spective Cabinet was consulted on the
subject. He made il short, he said, be-
cause he wanted people to read it, and
he saw no necessity for filling ten col
umns Of space when one would answer
his purpose. Cleveland's habitual
self-reliance in this respect recalls
an incident in his gubernatorial career.
IL has been the custom for some years
to permit the pastor Of the church to
which the Governor belonged to write
the Thanksgiving proclamation. but
Cleveland would have none OF II. lie
said it was part of his otiice-work. and
he did not propose anybody should be
delegated to do what he was able to
perform himself. The preachers left
him alone after that.

Iamar's Opinion OF John l.. sullivan

-. *. hanuhli III AUGUSTA Ohtonlcle.l
When Senator Lamar is in one of his
inspired moods he enchants his listener.
Mr.. Cleveland found him in happy
frame of mind, and was fascinated ac-
cOrdingly. The other day met the
Senator on the cars. lie was scanning
Puck, and calling my attention to car
toon representing John L. Sullivan
staggering around Boston, after killing
a horse, knocking down a woman, and
intimidating the police, the Senator
said: THAT kind of man is impossible
in our southern country. We could not
produce him, or, if produced, he would
would not stay there long" dare
say that the North would retort that
we produced something of the same
kind Of monster, differing only in de-
gree, but that is not the point.
