The computation of the value of the silver
dollar on the basis of the price of silver bull
lion in the London market, made in the
Treasury department, shows that it is now
worth but fraction over seventy-nine cents,
and, reckoning the coin in the vaults and
the outstanding silver certificates, this indi-
Gates a loss in value to the government of
more than ten millions. There has been but
one instance in which the price of bullion
has reached lower figure, but it did not
stay there long. There does not seem to be

California fruit Gamers who have deluged
the market with bad goods are beginning to
pay the penalty of their greed. There comes
eastward the cry that the canning firms fail
to get orders for their products. Prices have
tumbled. An exceptionally good fruit yield
sees decrease in the amount preserved. The
Alta Californian is sensible enough to tell
the Gamers that they deserve to suffer for
their folly and rascality, and it gives point
to its sermon by calling special attention to
the fact that firms whose goods are uniformly

She Kills Her Husband and Children
and Fires the House.
A Norwich, o., dispatch of the 18th
says: Early yesterday morn
ing the fine residence of Hiram
Atkins, a wealthy farmer living
three east miles of this place, was dis
covered in ashes. The family consisted
OF Mr.. Atkins, three children, a young
wife (step-mOther to the children) and
a hired man named Emanuel Porter, a
gay young fellow whom the gossips
have of late been accusing of undue ia
milIarity with Mrs. Atkins, who is young
and pretty, while Atkins is past so.
Tales of bitter and frequent quarrels in
the family have been current for some
time. The neighbors searched the de-
bris diligently for the remains of any
of the family who might be IN the ruins.
The bodies of three persons, evidently
those of Atkins and his two children,
were found-the eldest daughter having
LETT home some time ago. The cause of
the crime began to be guessed at when
no trace of Mrs. Atkins or Porter could
be found, Later 1t was discovered that
horse and buggy were missing from
the barn, and still later they were found
at the edge Of the village of Concord
on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
where it was learned that two people

Mennonite Feet-Washing.

From the keadlug tfd.) EdSlerI
After the administration OF the Lords
Supper the male members were asked
to occupy the bench nearest the altar
on the LETT side, and the female mem
bers the bench nearest on the right side.
The benches were reached with diff
Guilty owing to the great crowd. One
of the members removed his coat, girt
his loins with a white apron, took low
tub and, kneeling down, proceeded to
wash the feet of the fret benchful,
while one of the ladies, with an apron
and tub, washed the feet of several of
the lady members. -Four men respect
lively were engaged in washing the feet
Of the rest, but about dozen ladies en-
gagged IN washing each others feet,
while Old fashioned hymns were sung
IN the hveiest manner, and as each
ones feet were washed, he or she was
embraced and a "nOiy kiss" impressed
on the cheeks or lips. The rite was
watched with the greatest interest by
the large audience. The service closed
at 4 30. Revival services are beld each
night in the Mennonite Church. One
person professed conversion last week.

SNOW BOUND.
Sixteen Persons known to be Killed by
snowslide.

snowslide.
A special from Little Cottonwood,
Utah, of the 14th, says "At quarter
past 8 o'clock, last night, snow slide
swept through the mining camp of Alta,
destroying three-fourths of the town
and killing sixteen persons, including
five children. Following is list of the
killed: James Watson, Andrew S.
White, Jerry Regan, Barney Gilvon,
David P. Van, Tim Madden, Fred.
Cultman, Mrs Ford and child, Matte
Hickey, four children of Ed. Ballou
and two Cinnamon. 1t had been
showing for week and the
snow was II feet deep on the level. 1t
is still storming hard. Last night, soon
after o'clock, tremendous volume of
snow swept down over the Emma Mine
works, doing no damage there except
taking smokestack along. Then it
struck the town, crushing about three
fourths oft, but fortunately y many OF the
houses were deserted for the winter. The
place is built at the foot of converging
gulches, and the slides have a fair mark.
fuckers boarding house was swept away
and his hotel crushed. The Vallejo
works, including buildings and tram
ways, were crushed. Two men at this
mine happened to be in the drift and
escaped injury. Stictley and Tucker
& Wallace's stores were injured slightly.
Powers butcher shop and Simpsons
drug store were the only buildings that
entirely escaped. A large portion of
the lost were in clearinghouse and
hotel. Twenty in all were
buried. Twelve were dug out alive
this morning. The rest are un-
doubtedly dead. Men from the City
of Rocks mine and Evergreen formed
a digging force to get out the
bodies. Three were taken out at the
last accounts amid much difficulty and in
a heavy storm and severe cold. limo
thy Madden was not dead when brought
out, but died soon after. The bodies of
James Watson aud Mrs John Ford were
taken out quite dead. The following is
a correct list of those not yet recovered:
Andrew S. White, Barney Gibson, Fred.
Colhnson, Matte Hickey, Charles Volk
(Chinaman), Big Jim (Chinamanl, J, J.
Reagan, David p Evans, child of Mrs.
Ford, and four children of Ed. Ballou.
A rescue party starts from here in the
morning. 1t is possible that some of
the above may be alive, as on former
occasion some were found alive after
having been buried three days. The
losses are: fuckers hotel, $4,000; Val
Iejo mine, $4,000; Cases house, $500;
O'Reiley's store, $4,000; Badly Fritze's

A JRALvUs LOVER'S bEVENGE
He Fatally Wouads Eis Former
Sweetheart aud Then Blows
OFF his Own feaH.

The marriage of Miss Laura Chester
and Wilbur Peters of Wooster, o., was
to have taken place on the 9th. The
couple frequently quarreled. Miss
Chester frequented the roller skating
rink, and as Peters did not indulge in
this pastlme, the young lady naturally
accepted the escort of other young men
at the rink, and afterward permitted
them to accompany her home. To this
Peters objected. His jealousy was par
ticularly aroused against one of Miss
Chester's admirers. On the night of
the Sth, he told her she would have to
choose between himself and the man he
supposed was his rival Miss Chester
replied that she would not marry a
jealous man, and added that Peters
could consider the engagement broken.
The following night, the time fixed Tor
the wedding, just as Miss Chester left
the skating rink with the young man
who had aroused Peters jealousy,
Peters jumped from behind tree and
fred at Miss Chester. She screamed
and ran away, as did her escort. Peters
followed her closely, and fired two more
shots, one taking effect in the back, the
other in the head. When he saw his
victim fall, Peters placed the pistol to
his own head and blew nearly the whole
ton off, Neither can recover.

two men lost their lives and boy was

to cross the railroad bridge, on which
there is no foot path, they were over
taken by train, and stepping to the
opposite track, to escape, wererun down
by a switch engine. John Haaver's

fragments we're scattered about the
ground. Peter Haaver's legs were both
cut off, and one of the boys arms was
crushed. Johh Haaver died at the
hospital, and the boys arm was anpu-
ated. Bph men leave large families

Thirteen Miners Killed by an Explosion
About 9 As on the night of the 10th,
a violent explosion occurred at the Vale
colliery, near New Glasgow, n. S., III
the new SLOPE being sunk at McBian
seam, and flames from burning gas came
rushing up the main slope. As soon as
possible, John Greener, the manager at
the mine, descended the shaft, but was
unable to get near any Of the men in
the mine, of whom there were twenty
two in the pit at the time OF the disas-
ter. After several efforts, the rescuing
party were successful in reaching par
ty of men, seven IN number. They were
brought to the surface, and are all alive,
and, with the exception of few trifing
bruises, uninjured. Later on, and
shortly before daylight, three bodies
were found and brought up. Subse-
quent attempts at rescue brought to
light ten corpses, and three more men
were taken out alive, but SO badly hurt
that they died in short time. The
men were at work 1000 feet below the
surface when the explosion occurred.
All the victims leave families. This is
the second fatal accident at the mine
since its operation was begun, in 1871.

Tired of Being Depressed,
from Industrial America. I

lhrOm Industrial America.
When people get to disputing wheth-
er times are hard or not, it would seem
reasonable to suppose that times cannot
be extremely bad. The year opens
with the optimists and pessimis's hard
at it, each side armed with aredments
of a cogent nature, but the op4imists
are likely to win in the long run, as the
American people, now 50,000,000 strong,
IN the richest country on earth, must
sooner or later grow tired of being de-
pressed. By this time the bad symptoms
are we'll known, and it is natural that
the signs of healthy growth and de
velopment should receive attention. It
appears, that in spite of shutting down,
half time, slack trade and the like, the
number of operatives out of work is less
than 350,000. This cannot be regarded
as abnormal in the depth of winter, out
of population of 100000, and as the
percentage in New England is only 7
per cent, while in Minnesota il reaches
only 40 per cent, it is evident that manu-
facturers are not by any means in their
last gasp, but are holding their own
with 6rmness. A recent canvass of
trade all over the land shows, too, that
stocks are unusually light, and inquiries
for spring delivery are numerous.
Things do not long remain at the point
where men starve because bread is SO
cheap, and where they cannot clothe
themselves and possess comfortable
homes because garments and furniture
cost so little

4 dispatch of the 10Th saws: "On
the day OF the capture, which is various
ly stated as the Goth and 9th of Jan
uary, Gen. Gordou's attention was at
tracted by a tremendous tumult in the
streets. He left the so called palace or
government building, in which he had
made his headquarters, to ascertain the
cause of the disturbance. Just as he
reached the street he was stabbed in
the back, and fell tead The tumult
was caused by the Mahdi's troops who
had gained access to the interior of the
town through treachery, and who were
soon in complete possession of the
place, including the citadel. A fearful
massacre of the garrison followed. The
scenes of slaughter are described as
surprising the Bulgarian atrocities, and
rlvaling the worst horrors of the Sepoy
meeting. The panic-stricken Egyp-
tians were captured in flight and put to
death with the most fiendish tortures.
Some were transfxed with spears and
left to bleed TO death. Most of the VIC
tins were mutilated in n most horrible
manner. Eyes were gouged out, noses
slit and tongues torn out by the roofs.
In many cases the mutilated parts of
the victims bodies were thrust into
their mouths while they were still hv-
ing. The massacre included many
non-combatants, and the Egyptian wom-
en- were subjected to the most shame

and young girls were given over to the
