The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1885-07-24

j. h Reavis, who has charge OF the
Worlds Bartholdi Pedestal fund, said
to reporter: "While we must thank
the press Of California for the liberal
and frequent support it has given US,
we never received one cent from Cali
fornia or Californians visiting East.
We attribute this to the State being so
far away. Our paper does not circulate
there much. Then, too, we think the
Calfornians wanted the liberty statue
erected in their harbor. From Denver,
Colo, and Butte, M. T., we received
handsome contributions. Florida has |
been the most generous of the Southern |
States. The pedestal is to be complet- |
ed by the LIST of November, and it will |
take four months to put the statue in
position. 1t will be formally dedicated,
with military and civic ceremonies, by
the 4th of July, 1886. Next week we
will complete the $4,000 which we
started to raise on March 10th. The
most remarkable part of the subscrip-
tion has been it's general character.
We had ll5,O contributors, two of
whom gave $1,000 each; one family
gave 5000; twenty-five persons gave
$3.50 each, and about half dozen gave
500 each, the remainder being made
up of sums less than $40. The entire
expense to US of raising this sum has
been only $1,000. We received SIS in
bogus checks, and many ingenious at
tempts were made to swindle. Twelve
hundred children sent 500 %. The
entire amount has been handled in this
| Office and paid to the Pedestal Com.
mittee each day, and we have never
mislaid or lost dollar"
The Suns London special says: A
petition to Lord Carnarvon for the re-
lease of prisoners who, it is alleged, are
wrongfully imprisoned in consequence
of the Maamtrasna, Barbaville and
Castle Island murder cases, is being
prepared by Healy, M. p, for Mona
CHAN, and Harrington, M. p, for West
Meath. It was Harrington who was
sent to Maamtrasna to investigate the
Joyce murders before the Parnellites
asked the late Government for Com
mission of Inquiry. While Harring.
ton was investigating the Maamtrasna
case, similar investigations were con-
Quoted by Mr.. Healy and other .Parnell-
ties detailed for the purpose, in regard
| to the Barbaville and Castle Island
murders. Every one who had anything
to tell pressed forward to tell his story,
and documents, such as private letters
and family Bibles, explaining the rela-
tionships and deeds and leases of prop.
erty, which no order of court could
produce, were not only voluntarily
shown but deposited in the hands OF
the investigators for safe keeping The
Parnellites now believe they can dem.
onstrate that innocent men were
hanged and imprisoned and that guilty
men were allowed to escape through
the workings of two motives on the
part of the Dublin Castle ring of offic.
ials, which performed acts for which
Spencer was nominally responsible.
A crisis is imminent in Munich, ow-
ing to the freaks of King Ludwig, the
music-mad monarch of Bavaria. It has
just been ascertained that he has souan-
dered the last of the $1,000, 900 voted
to him expressly to pay his debts, in
building palaces and keeping new mis-.
tresses. The common people still look
upon the King as sort of demigod,
but the solid burghers and moneyed
men of Munich are disguised beyond
endurance. The bankers have abso.
lutely determined to lend him no more
J money, and loan of 81 ,25O, 900 was
recently refused him by an American
insurance company, because he could
not give satisfactory collaterals. New
evidences of his insanity are cropping
1t daily, and it is more than probable
On t he will soon be deposed.
