Complaint was made about the stone
arch of o bridge In Mill Creek Hundred
that has fallen down, and Messrs Ha-
man, Mackey and Toy were appointed q
com ittee to investigate the matter.
The attorney Of the Court was direc-
ted to enter satisfaction on the official
bond of Char les M. Newl,n, late collec-
tor of Christiana Hundred.
Mr. Mackey called the attention of the
Court 10 the charges of extrayagance
that have been made against the Trus-
tees of the Poor, and said that he did
not think the Court should be blamed
for their actions, still, he was of the
opinion that as the trustees are elected
BY the Court, and as these charges had
been given suoh widespread publicity
Through the newspapers, they should
be fully investigated.
| Mr.. Hamau did not know of any ir-
| reeu larities in the Board of Trustees,
| further than had been published in the
papers, and ii there is any foundation
for these reports, he felt 1t the duty ol
the Court to act as q committee of in
vestiRation, and examine into the mat
ter in the strictest manner possible.

LONDON, June 24.-In addition to the
names sent in the dispatches last night,
the following are unoficially but definitely
announced this afternoon as members OF
the new Ministry: Postmaster General,
Lord John Manners; Attorney General
for Ireland, Mr.. Holmes; Solicitor Gen.
eral for ireland, Mr.. Monroe, and Ri. Hon.
Edward Gibson, besides being the Lord
Chancellor of Ireland, will have a seat in
the Cabinet = an unusual honor.
The Queen has confirmed Lord Sails
bury's Cabinet. The Irish Secretary
portfolio was offered to five others and de-
clined before Sir William Hart Dykes &C.
cepted it. There are symptoms already
that the Radicals will do their utmost to
harrass the Conservatives. At al infor-
NAL meeting to-day they decided to fight
the budget, unless fully satisfactory, and
to oppose the issue Of the Exchequer
bonds to meet the deficit. Further,
they will insist upon the passage
OF a bill removing the franchise
disqualifications from persons receiving
pauper medical relief. During the pro-
ceedings in the House of Commons to-day
the spirit Of revolt was manifested in the
speeches Of Messrs. Ceilings and Labou-
chere. The Conservatives expect import
ant changes. II is reported that Sir Aus
tin Layard will return to Constantinople,
and that Sir Edward Thornton will re-
main in ST. Petersburg.
BOMBAY, June 24.-The Notifications
around Herst that are designed, primarily,
to protect that city against an assault by
the Russians are being rapidly pushed to
completion. The Afghan Boundary Oom-
mission will move in a short time near the
line.
MURcIA, June 24.-Frequent religious
professions pass along the streets, and
solemn services are being held for the pur-
pose of imploring divine assistance. Dead
wagons parade the city day and night.
Many cholera victims are buried c~ofinless.
The heat is dreadful.

A Smart Wife.

There was one married nan got scared
the other night. He sent out a note to his
wife about 8 O'Clock to say that he would
not be home until late. The messenger
boy, when he delivered the note, happened
to mention that he had gone to the wrong
house and had been very wrathfully
treated by a man for disturbing him. The
wife read the note, which was on a scrap OF
paper. She thought a minute. "Ill give
you four bits if you'll take this note back
and tell that story without saying you
came here. Don't say it was the wrong
number" The boy found the husband.
"Well, why do you bring this back ~
"They wouldn't take it, sir. A man came
TO the door and told me to 90 to the devil"
"All right; get out" The husband turned
up quite early. He looked at his wife.
II sent you a note, but the boy must have
taken it 10 the wrong house." "Is suppose
So" said the wife, innocently; II haven't
got IT," And that man was dying to find
out whether anybody had called. but he
was afraid 10 ask.

A New ~PuIyerizer.

James K. Griffin, OF New York City, q
brother of W. E. Griffin, agent here Tor
Wells, Fargo & Co., received on May IL
a patent from the Government for q pull
verizer for reducing ores, ~phosphates, car
bon and other refractory substances. In
this pulverizer the material is reduced by
a new and rapid method OF ~attrition-that
is, grinding compact and solid sections OF
said material against each other. The
pulverized product is instantly and effect
lively removed by an independents air cur
rent, and there is said to be no clogging or
hindrance whatever from the pulverized
product. The machine ia meant as q cheap,
durable and efficient substitute for stamps,
rolls, burr stones, etc. The size manufac'
tured at present weighs about 5000
pounds, requires from Is to 20 horsepower
to finely pulverize from one to three tons
per hour, according to the hardness of the
material, and the price complete. with
ounte shaft. pulleys and blowers, ID
/ 1000. Mr.. w. e. Griffin expects to in
troduce the new pulverizer in Eastern Ne
vada shortly, and he believes it is just
what miners here need.

A wonderful Nevada Fish.

A correspondent of the Examiner writes
from Lakeview that a wonderful fish is
becoming numerous in Goose Lake. II
is called by some, the greenback fish. for it
is certainly an inflationist. 1t has the
power to fill itself with air until it re-
eembles a round ball. About shutdown
they may be seen on the water. They
swell up by taking in the air. and the
wind blows them over the water. They
reflect the colors of the rainbow, and when
sporting over the lake are q grand sight.
A hunter saw a crane swallow one of these
fish when In its normal state, but before
the crane had gone up so feet the fish had
taken in enough air to explode the crane,
which at the sound Of a report as loud as
a gun flew to atoms, and the fish came
lightly down upon the water, no worse off
Tor its ride in the air. The fish is n great
curiosity, never having been found, I be-
iieve, in other waters. Sam Davis says
that these remarkable fish are plentiful
IN the Carson river below the dam at the
brunswick mill.

scientific Searches into IN Rrehis'
tOric Past.
A Washington telegram Of a recent date
says that the coming fiscal years work foi
the Bureau of Ethnology has been mapped
out by Major Powell, and the plans have
received the formal approval of Professor
Baird.
DR.. Cyrus Thomas, in charge of the di-
vision of mound exploration, will take the
field with two or three assistants, soon af-
ter the beginning Of the fiscal year, going
first to Wisconsin to examine and study
the effigy mounds of that locality and later
in the season to Mississippi and Tennessee.
The division has been in operation about
three years, under the charge Of DR.. Thomas,
and has secured about Is, 900 specimens of
the handiwork of the mound builders, the
study of which has solved many archno-
logical puzzles.
A famous elephant" mound, which
had long been the bone of contention
among ethnologists, and which, in the
opinion of some, proved that the mound
builders were co-existent with the ele-
plant upon this continent, appears by
the latest survey to have no trunk at
all. Earlier surveys, compared with
each other, show the trunk in q widely
different position. which leads to the in
ference that if the appendage was not
entirely imaginary it was nothing more
than sand piled up and drifted by the
winds. Without the trunk the mound
has much resemblance to q fox as to an
elephant.
Mr.. Mineleff, artist; has already started
out to revisit New Mexico, Utah and
Arizona. Last season he vent into Co.
haco Canyon. New Mexico, and surveyed
several remarkable ruined pueblos OF
great antiquity, but being under orders to
return in time to complete his models for
the exhibition at New Orleans, he did not
take the exhaustive survey Of the ruins
which their extent and character war
ranted.
Mr.. W. ii. Holmes, an artist and geolo-
gist of the Geological Survey, has, during
the last three years, made an exhaustive
study OF the decorative art of the native
American races, contributing the results
to the publications OF the Bureau of Eth
nology. He will, during the present sea-
son, make a short visit to Arizona, to pur-
sue the study further.
All scientists OF the Bureau are inspired
to activity at this time by the knowledge
Of the fact that this country affords the
best opportunity the world has ever known
TO study the beginning Of those things
which constitute human progress, an op-
portunity for which, by the encroachmente
OF civilization, is rapidly passing away.

The Arc de TriOmDhe.

The Arc de Triomphe in the Place de
PEtoile, Paris, under which the remains Of
Victor Hugo lay in state, owes its exist
ence to Napoleon I, who decreed its erec-
ton in 1906 to celebrate the victories Of
the French under the Republic and the
Empire. II is the largest triumphal arch
10 Europe, being 152 feet high, 1877 feet
broad and 6S feet deep. The hight of the
principal arch is 80 feet. Its cost was
about So, 100, 900 and it was 80 years in
completion, being finished in 1886. There
are various groups of colossal s~tatusry, and
Fame surmounts the whole, while History
is occupied in recording his deeds. The
interior is assembled by winding staircases.
which lead into several large halls. After
mounting 26l steps the top is reached,
from which one of the best views Of
Paris is gained.
