Webster and Choate.
lDes Moines Daily News. |

Thirty years ago, when a student a
 Amherst college, remember going ovel with several ot my classmates to North
 ampton, where Daniel Webster and Ru. fus Choate were the opposing lawyers ir the great Oliver Smith will case. shall
 never forget the impression made by the great contrast between the manner and gesticulatisn of these two distinguished pleaders in their closing arguments. The courtroom was crowded almost to suffo- cation, and the immense interest involved, together with the high reputation of the opposing counsel, combined to excite the attention and interest of all to a remark able degree. Webster's gestures, as we'll as his words, were comparatively few, but weighty, massive, the very embodi. ment of dignity and conscious strength. Most of the time during his half-hour ar.
 gument, he stood perfectly motionless
 his body slightly bent forward, ard his hands behind his back. Choate spoke for nearly two hours, in a manner the very counterpart of Webster's and yet equally appropriate to the speakers in- dividuality. He was all alert, every vein
 swelled to fullness, every muscle at its ut most tension. He advanced toward the jury and retreated. He rose on tiptoe and several times in his excitement seemed to spring entirely of his feet. He ran
 his long, nervous fingers through his dark hair and anon shook them in the air above his head with so swift motion that they seemed to run into each other like the spokes or spinning wheel. His plea lasted two hours. The day was hot, and when he concluded he sank into the arms of attendants in state of perfect exhaustion. and was borne out into the lobby like corpse The excitement in the courtroom was intense, but Web ster's calm, stern logic carried the day over Choate's brilliant and fiery logic. The verdict was for Webster and the will.

FOUL MURDER.
An Apparently Unohending Nan Shot
Dead Near German GuIch
Yesterday.
The Victim Who Was Hurried Into
Eternity is without Family or
Friends in This Vicinity.

Yesterday afternoon about 2 O'Clock
there was perpetrated one of the most
brutal and uncalled- for murders that ever
occurred in this Territory, the victim being
Alexander Henningar, an unoffendinp Ger
man. The killing took place a short dis
tance from Stuart station, which is below
Silver Bow, and the murder was of such a
character that no one can as yet account
for it, although it is to be hoped the guilty
parties will be hunted down. From the
account received it appears that the
murdered man who has resided in that
vicinity for some time, and has been max
ing iliving as. ranchman and prospectop,
had walked to the head Of a ditch which
flows through his property for the purpose
OF turning on or regulating the water. He
had accomplished his task and was walking
slowly back along the bank of the ditch
when shot was fred from ansunderbrush
about $50 feet distant and the ball taking
immediate effect, Henningar fell dead into
the ditch. The friends of the murdered
man in some way were notified of his sud-
den and cowardly taking off, and as soon as
possible secured /; possession of the body,
but unfortunately did not get any clue to
the murderer, who up to an early hour this
morning had not been discovered.
The crime was committed in the vicinity
OF the famous German Gulch flume, which
is now in litigation, but the ditch in ques-
ton is an old one about which there is no
dispute, and there can be no mode OF rea-
soning by which it can be made to figure in
this tragedy. The deceased was well known
IN the locality, and it is to be hoped that
further inquiry will discover the murderer.

THE FISH COMMISSION,
"A synopsis of the General Work Done
Nv IL.

CHICAGO, June 3.-One OF the cars OF the
United States Fish Commission passed
through Chicago last night on it's way to
Portland, Oregon. The car was in charge
Of Commissioner Moore. who said:
s0This is one Of if not the most important,
shipments aver made by the Fish Commits
sion Shad have been successfully intro
duced at San Francisco and in the Sacra-
mento river. But we have never yet tried
to introduce them into Oregon and that is
where this load goes. have altogether
about half million shad in the car and l

journey successfully / intend to make the
Pacific coast give us something in turn and
will endeavor to bring back with me some

Woodshall station in Massachusetts and
put them under the care of Professor

In talking Of the. general work done by
the Fish Commission Mr.. Moore said the
effort to introduce some OF the best kinds
Of English fish into American waters had
been so far successful. The turbut and soils
which has been put down at Sandy Hook
had bred, and part of the progeny had been
caught. Scotch trout had also done well.
Herring had been very successful, but the
flavor of the fish caught on this side seemed
to have somewhat deteriorated, or perhaps
the most profitable OF all the imported fish
was German carp, which is doing well in
every State in the Union; and would soon
be very plentiful in the markets. California
trout has been introduced throughout
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Virginia,
and i'm the great lakes, the Commission
had put down about $4,000, 900 whitetish.

The Apaches.

DEM1NG, N. NJ, June 3.-Reports from the
San Carlos and Apache reservations say
ehat the Indians are all quiet and no more
hostilities are anticipated. No further par
ticulars have yet been received from Fort
Bowie The reported capture OF the rene
gades by Captain Smiths troops and
scouts on the Upper Gila, from the position
of the troops and the locality in which the
Indians were last heard from, leaves little
doubt that the reported capture is au-
thentic.

MINING DISASTERS.
Explosions and Fires In Two Hines

Miners.
The War ON the IsthmuS OF Panama :
Work Of the United States Fish
Commission.

LONDON, June "a dispatch received
this afternoon from Durham says A
fire broke out in the Philadelphia coliery,
situated near this city, at noon to-day
Three hundred miners are in the pit, and
all attempts SO far to subdue the flames or
render assistance to the imprisoned men
have failed. Great excitement prevails5 and
it is feared that the majority of the en-
tombed men will perish. A large force Of
men are at work at the colliery trying to
rescue them.
Another Durham dispatch states that
the colliery on fire is the property OF Earl
Durham and is known as Margaret Pit. 1t
is now feared that all the men and boys
within the pit will be lost. Their number
is placed at $50. The excitement in the
neighborhood OF the burning colliery in
creases momentarily. The relations OF the
imprisoned miners crowd around the mouth
OF the pit weeping and wailing iu the most
heartrendering manner.
A later dispatch says that all but twenty
two of the miners have since been rescued,
and those missing are supposed to be killed.
The lire was caused by an explosion Of fire
damp.
5p. m.-Another dispath from Durham
states that the fire in thescolliery near that
place occurred in the top seam of the Mar
garet Pit-the peggy Pit, /" as it is known
locally; that it was caused by an explosion,
and that twenty-five men and boys at
work there were killed outright. The ex-
plosion was followed by a rush of water in
immense volumes into the Sutton seam.
The miners-men and boys-however, were
all taken out alive. The working parties
are now laboring zealously to stay the
flood. The water is now rushing into the
Maudlin seam, where great number OF
miners are imprisoned and whom the re-
liefs hope to release and rescue.

A German Denial.

BERLIN, June 3.-The North German Ga
zette, in it's leading article on the present
dispute between Germany and the Sultan
of Zanzibar, says: Germany has no de-
signs against the independence OF the Sultan
of Zanzibar. Germany, the Gazette con-
tinues, sought to secure treaty OF friend
ship and commerce with him, and merely
endeavored, in common with other Powers,
under the decisions Of the Berlin Confer
ence, to obtain facilities for trade through
the Sultan's coast territory, with no
intention OF using force to procure the
treaty. The Sultan however, claims the
territory occupied. by Germany east of
the African Company, which secured it's
titles to the property from native chiefs.
He has ordered troops to enter and has
taken hostile measures against the Sultan
Vitu, who has been a friend to Germany
since 1867. limiting that the Sultan OF
Zanzibar may be presuming upon British
protection, the Gazette expresses the hope
that the English will induce him to desist
from his present policy OF provocation to
Germany.

Last October ardudish looking yOungster,
with fair hair and pretty blue eyes, APP
peared at Granger, the uncture of the
Union Pacific and the Oregon Short Line,
and accepted a position as night operator
in the telegraph Office. He was competent
and intelligent and at once became favor
lite with the boys, and while he did not
drink or smoke, he joined the gang in all
their other amusements, and could tell as
good a story as the rest of them. He was
carried on the rolls as James Meredith and
claimed Missouri as his home. The young

kept at his work in good shape until one
day last week, when gentleman from his
old home happened along and discovered
in the telegraph operator girl whom he
had known since her birth. He at once
made known the sex of the masquerader,
and she not desiring any notoriety packed
her trunk and departed The young lady
who shall be nameless, gives as reason for
donning the male attire, that she was fully
as competent in her business as any of her
male associates, but that SO long as she
wore women's clothes she could not get the
salary to which any male operator was en-
titled. No one OF those with whom she
was associated in Granger suspicioned her
sex, and as she was legitimately earning a
good salary, the young lady naturally feels
aggrieved at the denOument.

three-year-old son of William Cunningham,
section foreman at Ross Fork, Idaho,
flag station on the Utah & Northern be-
tween Pocatello and Blackfoot, disap-
peared. Search was Immediately instituted
but night came on before tidings OF the lit
tie one were obtained. The parents were
agonized by the fear that he had fallen into
an adjacent creek and been drowned. On
the following day the creek was carefully
searched for miles, but as it's banks are
heavily covered with brush, the labor
proved both difficult and fruitless one.
Sunday the search was resumed and before
noon the worst fears of the parents were
realized by the finding of the child's body in
the creek about four miles below the section
house. He must have fallen into it near the
house and the current bore his slight body
to the point where it was discovered. The
remains were taken to Menden, Utah for
burial.

Probably a Case of Suicide.

ST. LOUIS, June 2.-R. NJ. Reynolds, late
first auditor of the United States Treasury,
killed himself this morning at the Southern
Hotel. There is an air shaft in the hotel
over the rotunda, which cuts through the
different floors. At 5:55 o'clock Reynolds
either jumped or fell into the air shaft. He
struck the marble floor OF herotunda with
report heard all over the hotel. He was
picked up dead in front of the Office of the
clerk. His skull was fractured and one of
his legs shattered. A visit made to
Reynolds room disclosed the fact that it
was full OF gas, although the stop-cock was
turned, hence the theory is held in the hotel
that it must be suicide, and after failure to
asphyxiate himself he took the terrible dive
to the marble floor below. Reynolds had
made careful toilet. He has been in st.
Louis since Saturday, stopping with c. H.
Albert, but left that gentleman's house and
put up at the hotel last night. He was in
excellent spirits when last seen alive and no
motive can be suggested for his self-destruc-
ton. He was on his way to Kansas to buy
land. He left the United States Treasury
only couple of weeks ago. He was about
60 years OF age and fine looking, healthy
man.
