TEEE R EGASON
Why Cutting Sas Cast Into a
 Mexican Dungeon.


 A number of the readers of THE TOMBSTONE have expressed a desire to learn the facts which led to the i'm prisonment of A. K. Cutting by the Mexican authorities. The following is a statement of the facts:
 While Cutting was editor of Fl Centinela at Paso del Norte, Emigdio Medina canvassed the town for sub scribers and advertisements for a new Spanish paper which he proposed to establish there. In his paper Cutting denounced Medina as fraud and said his proposed paper was scheme to rob advertisers. Medina caused Cuttings arrest and had him taken into a Mexican court where he was obliged to sign retraction. Cutting at once upon his release went over to Fl Paso and in the Herald of that city published the following:
 FL PAso, Tex, June IS, 1886. To Emigdio Medina, of Paso del Norte:
 In late issue of Fl Centinela, pub lished in Paso del Nor;e, I made the assertion that Emigdio Medina was a fraud and that the Spanish newspa- per he proposed to publish in Paso del Norte was scheme to swindle ad- vertisers, etc. This morning said Medina took the matter to a Mexican court, where I was forced to sign reconciliation. Now I do hereby reiterate my assertion that said Emig dio Medina is fraud and dead beat; also that his taking advantage of the Mexican law and forcing me to a re- ConciliAtion was contemptible and cowardly and in keeping with the odious reputation of said Emigdio Medina; and should said Emigdio Medina require American satisfaction for the r.iteration, I will be pleased to grant him all he may desire at any time and in any manner.
 A. K. CUTTING.
 There is a law in the penal code of Mexico providing for the punishment of crimes committed in foreign country either against Mexicans or foreigners. Said article reads as fol- lows:
 Article 1S6, title 4, chapter l. Crimes co :mitted in foreign coun- try by Mexican, or by foreigner against a Mexican, shali be punished in the republic according to law"
 When Cutting returned to Paso del Norte he was arrested and thrown into prison, his arrest being based on the above law.

MRS. KATE CHASE sPRAGUE
Her Visit Reviving Memories of the
Past.
From. a Washington letter.

Prom a Washington letter.
Those who have seen Mrs. Kate Chase
Sprague since her return from Europe to
Washington say that she is very much
improved in physical health, and appears
to have benefited great deal from her
quiet lite and rest abroad. 1t is probable
that Congress Will be asked to apprOpri-
ate some money for the proper burial Of
her father. 1t sees IA strange thing that
Chase, one of the most prominent figures
in this country during one of its most
eventtul periods, is still unburied and is
| lying in borrowed vault. His remains
rest in the vault OF ex-Gov. Cook, appar-
emily forgotten. Chase was one
of the greatest Secretaries the
Treasury ever had, and when he
was Chief Justice OF the Supreme
Court he made a reputation as a judge
which entities him to rank with the great
men who have held that position since the
formation OF the court. Mr.. Chase was a
man of strong passions and prejudlces
yet he had most devoted following. The
mistake of his life was when he permitted
political ambition to tempt him. There is
a prejudice in the minds or the American
people against the Justices OF Its Supreme
Court going into politics. number Of
Justices have had the Presidential dream,
but none OF them have ever succeeded in
obtaining any real following among the
people. There is on the bench to-day
two Justices at least who dream that
Presidential honors may some day come
to them. One is Justice Miller and the
other is Justice Harlan. Miller is
really great, IA man of unusual force of
| character, and he belongs to the old war
period, which produced men OF unusual
| strength and clearness OF vision. Miller
and Field are the only two Justices OF
Llncoln's selection. Lincoln appointed

Two theories as to the fire are enter
tanned. one is that an incendiary was at
the bottom of the affair and the other is
that young men playing cards In Sarling's
store left light burning in the room and
caused the coufagration. The total loss
is $50, 900 and the Insurance $4,000.
