"THE BLUE AND THE GRAY
The local subscriptions to the monu-
ment fund in memory Of General Grant
continue to come in but slowly, and it
is a noticeable fact that nearly all Of
the sums are contributed by the mer-
chants and capitalists. The movement
apparently has not been taken up by
"the people," but this is probably due
to the fact that the aristocratic COM
mittee prefer not to have the edges Of
their effort blunted by contact with the
vulgar masses until they have exhaust
ed the richer mine. You will remember
that one Of the attendant results of
the death Of General Grant was the re-
union at his tomb Of the veterans Of
both the northern and southern armies,
and the presence at the funeral of a
large contingent ofex- Confederates. As
a still further result, and it admirably
illustrates the fraternal feeling that
prevails. Blue and Gray Memorial
Association is being organized for the
purpose Of aiding in the erection of the
monument, and it is believed that
twenty or twenty-five thousand dollars
will be added to the fund by their eff
forts, as it is intended to present to
every one-dQllar subscriber a valuable
historical relic Of the war. d. +.

Rock SPRINGS, WYG., September
1.-Two more dead CeleStials were
found to-day-one in the ruins Of Chi
natown and the other beneath the rail-
road bridge about a mile east Of the
place. The latter had been wounded,
ard had managed to walk that far be-
fore giving up. The miners who took
an active part in the attack upon Chi
ratown say that less than one third of
the dead Chinese in the ruins Of the
houses have been found thus far. They
declare that no less than twenty
five were shot down inside the
burned buildings. These buildings had
dit roofs, which covered up the dead
Cinnamon when the dwellings had sue
cumbed to the flames, and as no actual
search has been made in the ruins it is
quite probable that the miners state
ments are true. Cinnamon are still ar
irving at stations east and west, almost
dead from fright and weak from fatigue
and lack Of food. All are shipped to
Eyanstown by the company. They re.

sailing on dead reckoning. The days
Iun was first published on the tablet as
90 miles, but was aiterward altered to

an ovation. When he is not busy talk
