The Anarchists, Trial.

Last Monday Carter Ii. Harrison,
Mayor Of Chicago, was the first witness
for the defense in the anarchists trial
The Mayor said he was present at the
Haymarket meeting. He went there
because his attention had been called to
the revenge circular calling the
meeting. He had instructed the police
to dispense the crowd az soon as any
thing occurred which would have a
tendency to a renewal of the scenes
which occurred at Mccormick He
heard portions of Spies aud Parsons
speeches. He left the meeting while
Parsons was speaking. There were
signs of rain and the crowd did not ex-
coed 500. He then went to the Des.
planes Street station and told Bontield
he thought there would be no trouble.
On cross-examination the Mayor said
Bonfield had been advised that the
meeting, before it adjourned, would at
tempt TO burn down down the Milwau-
kee Il st. Paul station, and that the
Haymarket meeting had been called to
distract attention from other quarters
When he left the police station for home
he gave Bonfield discretionary powers
as to dispensing the meeting or to quell
any other disturbances
Other, but unimportant, testimo ny
was introduced by the defense

The Salt Mines of Nevada.

If the salt formations of Nevada were
in railroad communication, there would
be no market in this country for the
foreign article. In Lincoln county, on
the Rio Virgin, there is deposit of pure
rock salt which is exposed for q length
of two miles. width of half mile, and
is of unknown depth. In places, canons
are cut through it to depth of so feet
1t is of ancient formation, being cover
ed in some places by basaltic rock and
volcanic tufa. The deposit has been
traced on the surface for distance of
nine miles. 1t is so solid that it must
be blasted like rock, and SO pure and
transparent that print can be read
through blocks of il n foot thick. At
Sand Springs, Churchill county, there is
a deposit Of rock salt IA feet in depth.
free from any particle of foreign sub
stance. which can be quarricd at the
rate of five tons day to the man. The
great Humboldt salt field is about tif-
teen miles long and six wide.
When the summer heats have evapo-
rated the surface water, salt to the
depth of several inches may be scraped
up. and underneath is stratum of pure
rock salt of unknown depth. Soda,
borax. and other valuable minerals also
exist in large quantities near these local
tiles, and branch railroads will sooner
or later bring them into market. A con-
siderable business in gathering borax is
already established on the line of the
Carson & Colorado Railroad. If Nevada
will cut down her working expenses and
develop her natural resources, she will
be above the necessity of seeking land
grants from her neighbors or from the
general government San Francisco

The Ulster Orange Riots.

BELFAST, Aug. 2.--When Yesterdays
rioting was suppressed it was hoped,
and by many believed. that there would
be no further disorder. There was not,
however, any relaxation of vigilance on
the part of the police, who, as far as
possible, prevented the gathering of
crowds about the street corners and in
open spaces. Toward night the tide of
travel set in the direction of York Street,
and soon that thoroughfare was filled
with people. As they did not loiter the
police could find no excuse for dispers-
ing them, and when the strains of music
from the bands accompanying large
body of Catholics returning from an ex-
cursion were heard the presence of so
unusual crowd upon that particular
street was accounted for. As the ex-
cursionists marched up between the
solid walls of humanity on either side
of the street they were greeted with de-
risive yells, and finally with volley of
stones. The women and children, of
whom there were many in the process
sion. screamed with fright and pain,
many of them being hit, and their cries
seemed to stimulate the rioters to re-
newed violence
Suddenly the crowd, as il by prear-
rangement, rushed upon the procession
and beat the excursionists indiscrim.
inately, women and children suffering
alike with the men. The police then
charged the rioters, who were not con.
filming themselves to attacking the pro-
cession, but had already sacked several
buildings, and were engaged in wreck
ing others. The officers were driven
back by shower of stones. The mob
rapidly increased, and, following up
their advantage over the police, charged
the latter, driving them back some dis
lance. The military at this iuneture
appeared on the scene, and the police,
making stand, fired into the crowd,
killing one man and wounding several.
Before the rioters had recovered from
this volley the military charged upon
them with fixed bayonets, clearing the
streets in short order.
The police suffered severely during
the fight, several of them being hit by
pistol shots fired by the crowd. Three
or four of them were seriously, but
none fatally injured. Most of the
wounded rioters were sent to the hos
pital The police and military are
patrollng the streets.
AT meeting of the Municipal Coun-
Gil this evening several of the leading
members of the body strongly protested
against the action of the governm ent
in proclaiming the city under the peace
preserving act without consulting the
Mayor. The courts to-day disposed of
the cases of LOT persons who were ar
rested yesterday for rioting, imposing
fines of various terms of imprisonment
upon all.

The President adopted very unusual
course in sending message to Con-
gress giving his reasons for approving
the Oleomargarine bill. 1t IS not Gus
tomary for presidents to explain why
they approve bills that have passed
Congress; it has been thought sufficient
if they stated the grounds on which
they disapprove congressional measures.
The Presidents real attitude on this
bill was no doubt correctly described
by the Washington correspondent who
wrote last Saturday: THE President
is very much puzzled to know what to
do with the Oleomargarine bill. He
wants to veto it, and he is afraid of the
political effect. He has heard nearly
every day arguments upon the subject
from someone. 1t has been represent
ed to him that the dairy interests in
New York would be up in arms if be
should refuse to sign the bill" No
doubt this is a correct statement. He
wanted to veto the bill, but was afraid
of losing votes in New York. At the
same time he trembled lest he should
offend the cotton-seed oil and Texas
steer interest, and he resorted to the I'M
usual course OF sending an explanatory
message to the House in the hope that
he might be able to extenuate his con-
duct with the opponents of the measure.

Martha Washington as She Was.

Martha Washington was very pref
ty girl, but not very good-looking old
woman. As she matured she grew
stout, and, though her pictures represent
her as beauty, the current history of
the times says she was q plainly
dressed, robust old woman, who looked
older than her husband. She was not
noted for her social nor her intellectual
qualities. She could not spell, and
probably did not read book from one
end of the year to the other. She was
sort of good-goody woman, who al
ways had knitting-needles in her hands,
and who thought she did great thing
when she saved the Rawlings of lot
of old black silk stockings and worncat
chair covers, and wove them into a
dress for herself. She was very proud
of her husband; and they show the lit
tie room in the second story of the
home at Mount Vernon, in which she
secluded herself after his death, seeing
no one for months. and allowing only a
cat to enter the room through 4 hole
which was cut under the door. Frank

Sniders Kill n Snake.

A gentleman recently found in his
wine cellar live striped snake, nine
inches long. suspended between two
shelves by the tail, BY spiders web.
The snake hung SO that his head could
not reach the shelf below Aim by about
an inch, and several large spiders were
then upon him sucking his juices. The
shelves were about two feet apart, and
the lower one was just below the bottom
of the cellar window, through which the
snake probably passed into it. From
the shelf above ii there was a web in
the shape of an inverted cone, eight or
ten inches in diameter ut the top, and
concentrated TO focus, about six or
eight inches from the undersidc of the
shelf. From this focus there was a
strong cord made of the multiplied
threads of the spiders web, apparently
as large rs common sewing silk, and by
this cord the snake was suspended.
Upon a critical examination through
magnifying glass the following curl
Gus facts appeared: The mouth OF the
snake was fast tied up by great num-
Der Of threads, wound around il so
tight that he could not put out his
tongue. His tail was tied in knot SO
as to leave a small loop or ring through
which the cord was fastened; and the
end of the tail above this loop to the
length of something over half an inch
was dashed fast to the cord to keep it
from slipping.
As the snake hung the length of the
cord from his tail to the focus to which
it was fastened was about six inches,
and little above the tail there was OBJ
served a round ball the size of pea.
Upon inspection this appeared to be a
green fly, around which the cord had
been wound as the windlass with which
the snake had been hauled up, and a
great number of threads were fastened
to the cord above, and to the rolling
side of this ball to keep it from unwind
ing and letting the snake down. The
cord, therefore, must have been extend
ed from the focus Of the web to the
shelf below, where the snake was lying
when first captured. and being made
fast to the loop in his tail, the hy was
carried and fastened about midway to
the side of the cord. And then by roll
ing this fly over and over it wound the
cord around it, both from above and
below it, until the snake was raised to
the proper height, and then was fasten-
ed as above mentioned. In this situa-
ton the suffering snake hung alive. and
furnished a continual feast for several
large spiders for three days, when some
persons, by playing with him, broke
the web above the focus so as to let
part of his body rest on the shelf below.
In this situation he fingered, the spiders
taking no notice of him. until eight
DAYS after he was discovered, when
some large ants were found deyouring
his dead body. spirit Of The Times.
