R0uauZa Hill.

The lively interest manifested in the
operations on Bonanza Hill has assumed
a different complexion from the excite.
ment caus ed by hearing of frequent and
rich strikes of ore deposits by the lucky
lessees. The property owners of large
portion of the town, from Ike Neel's to
the upper end of the main
street, are manifesting personal
as we'll as an anxious interest in the
contest between the two parties claim
ing the property under the different
names of Silver Monument and Jennie
Lind. 1t is rumored around town that
the Jennie Lind Company are preparing
to make applications for patent, and
should they succeed in getting it the
property of about one-half of the town
would belong to that company; but it
is thought that the protests will be so
numerous and strong that the par
ties who may be adiudged by the
courts as the lawful owners of the
property in dispute, will fail to get a
patent. Before there will be any exist
ing cause for anxiety it will have to be
settled in regard to the title, which at
present stands in about this shape: d.
M. Harwood claims that he located the
ground before the Jennie Lind locators
did. but recorded it day or two after
wards. The prospects of lively and in.
teresting litigations between the present
claimants to the mining property ant
the numerous residents on the same ant
the lucky owners is quite promising. -

Baxter is the son of Ex-Governor Bax.

daughter of Mr.. Maghee, the richest
man in Tennessee. Baxter was not a
candidate for the Governorship but came
here on his bridal trip and was in
troduced at the White House. He spent
several evenings with Mrs. Cleveland

the latter gave him the appointment;

Secretary of State, his appointment was
a surprise to Kansas people in Washing
ton. 1t was even a greater surprise for
the friends of Baxter, and they have
been to the White House and to the In

it happened. Baxter did not
seek the office, but has not
declined the claim. He took much
trouble to arrange his business affairs SO
that he could perform the duties of the
office. 1t is said that the reason that
Governor Baxter was not nominated is
that he is large cattle owner and that
his sympathies are with the ranchmen
who are fighting the government on the

ssThe Ticket of Leave Man'' Last
Night.

Last night at the Grand Opera House
Mr.. w. J. Florence appeared in Ton
T4ylor's drama, "The Ticket of Lsav,
Man." This is the actors first and per
haps greatest hit. Few play.goers il
any part of the Union have not seen i
some time or other. Florence is not s,
young as when he first appeared as tn,
Lancashire Lad" Still he plays thi
very exigent role in decidedly artistic
and vigorous manner. He held tn,
house spell.bound last night il
the many really pathetic and inter
esting situations developed in tht
fine llot. Miss Emma Lincoln made {
decided hit as "Mrs. Willoughby," as
she did on the previous evening as the
"Nipper' in "Dombey and Son." In
the first act Miss Florence Noble was
far from suited to the role Of the beggal
girl. In the other scenes she retrieved
herself. Mr.. Earle Stirling as "MelteI
Moss" was excellently madeup, and acted
well, but he forgot to maintain his ac
cent with anything like consistency.

Tonight Mr.. and Mrs. Florence will
produce the four-act comedy "The

iudicious situations and the climaxes
are worked up effectively. The story
deals with the adventures Of gay old
"rounder," whose passion for the oppos-
ite sex and penchant for writing letters,
gets him into deal of trouble and in
Vulnerable complications, from which he
finds exlrication exceedingly difficult.
The second act is uproariously funny,
and the third serves to keep up the
merriment. In this act Mr.. and Mrs
Florence sing a song, which is neat bit
of satire on the vocalism which social
banqueters sometimes have to endure.

CITY OF MEXICO, December 9.-Public
opinion in this country is SO strong
against the infection of capital punish
ment, that it was not generally believed
that Francisco De Maral, whose execu.
tion was set for to-day, would suffer the
penalty of the law. His crime was the
atrocious murder Of French resident
of this city nearly two years ago. His case
has occupied much attention and
French Minister in his private capacity
even went so far as to ask that his sem
tence be commuted by President Diaz.
He refused to allow the law to be inter.
fered with, and the criminal was shot
to-day by file of soldiers. He died
bravely, protesting his innocence to the
last.
President Cleveland's expression OF a
desire for the negotiation of new COM
mercial treaty with Mexico has been
well received by the press and the gov
ernment of this country.

LONDON, December 9.-The cross-ex I
animation of Lord Colin Campbell, de-
fendant In the Campbell divorce case,
was continued to-day. He was asked
whether having heard the evidence he
still alleged his wife had been criminally
intimate with DIR. Bird, at Cadogan
Place, at the house in Brook street and
Leigh Court, and answered that he a.
legged that was the question that ought
to be submitted to the jury. This r.
ply produced q sensation. Plaintiffs
counsel then announced that the cross-
examination was concluded. The Judge
asked Lord Colin whether he had ever
been guilty of familiarities with Mary
Watson, and he answered none whatev-
er. Surgeons Properti and AIlirgham
testified that they had heard descrlp-
tion of the ailments from which Lady
Colin suffered in 1872, and that it was
not of nature to prevent her from do
ing wrong. AT this point it was an
nounced tnat Lord Colin Campbell's side
of the case was concluded.
Duke Marlborough's counsel opened
for the defense, and said the Duke, fear
less of threats, would appear as witnes
and swear the charges were groundless.
The alleged case against The l. uke GEN.
sisted OF ordinary Incidents. The email
talk of society had been turned into inn
propriety, and the only exceptions were
the incidents of Purhee and Leigh Court.
He would treat of those especially.
Even if the Pul flee and Leigh Court al
legations were true, could the Jury say
there had been adultery. In reference
to the Leigh Courts charges they rested
upon the evidence OF Rose Bter, whom
nobody could trust.
The Dukes counsel declared that
Lady Campbell and the Duke did NOT
occupy adjoining rooms at Leigh Court.
Lord Colin new the facts of the Parfiee
incident long before the last trial, yet
he then stated he had no Suspicion
against his wife. If Lady Colin had
been guilty Of adultery sue could not
obtain judicial separation. Ii Lord Coiiu
was honorable how could he now, with
out further evidence bring this trumped
up charge. Counsel admitted Lord
Bianfora was at Purfiee, but declared
he was there one. Lady Campbell
would account for every hour of her
time between Saturday August l2ih, and
Monday August I4th. He trusted the
jury was not prejudiced against Duke
Marlborough on account of his
previous appearance in divorce
court. He had not opposed Lord
Aylesford. on the contrary he made
what amen he could by offering to
marry Lady Aylesford and of settling
10000 pounds on her child. Guilty. ON
behalf vf Captain Shaw, said his client
would deny upon oath that he ever had
improper rela alions with Lady Campbell.
The story of O'Neill was an absolute
fabrication. Captain Shaw was an old
friend of the lady's family and man Of
unsullied life. The Court here ad

steamer Gaelic, bound from China, early
this morning outside of the heads. Two
boats were sent out from the cutter, and
as one of them came in sight of the
steamer, it was evidently mistaken by
some of those on board for smuggler's
boat, for five large wooden cases were
Lowered cautiously into the water right
in front of it. A line was made fast to
the cases, and they were taken in tow
by the boat. After the Gaelic was

to proceed. When examined, the cases

VIRGINIA MURDER.
The Nlurderess COnfesses and
COnyicts a Policeman.


RICHMOND, Va, December Oh. Ii.
During, the policeman who was arrested
last night on charge of bribing Herman
Joel, matchmaker, witness in the Gu.
verius case, was before the police court
but the examination was postponed till
the 18th instant. When considering
petitions for Executive clemeney
in the Case of Cluvcrius the Gov.
ernor sent for Joel and ques.
toned him in regard to the watch-key.
At the request of the Governor, Joel des-
cribed the interior of the watch kew
which he had repaired for Cluverus
and afterwards opened it in the pres.
ence of the Governor. His description tai
lied exactly with the interior of the
watch key, aud at the trial the com.
monwealth asked that the key be opened
by Joel, but the counsel for the defense
objected. This was perhaps the strongest
point in the evidence against the pris'
oner, and now since it has come to light
that the interior of the watch key was
found as described by Joel, the evidence
of the prisoners guilt is even more con-
elusive. Chief of Police Poy to-day re-
ceived from Superintendent Murray, OF
New York, a letter containing the toll
lowing, which he had received:
December s, 1886.
SUPERINTENDENT MURRAY:
Dear Sir:--I am sorry that the au'
thorities of Richmond are making a
great mistake about the Cluverius case.
He is the wrong man. Sorry he could
not prove an alibi. / had hoped he
could, and now there is nothing left for
me but to surrender myself as murderer
of Lillian Madison. will surrender on
the morning of Cluveriu's execution at
your headquarters. 1t is unnecessary to
give you further particulars, as my case
will show clearly about the murder at
my trial. | cannot wait any longer OF
confessing my crime, as my conscience
has troubled me enough. will prove
all when surrender, and there is moth
ing left for me to do but surrender, get
a trial and probably hapg.
