. A Dangeronn NTnn.

The most peaceable and dangerous
man in all the United States lives in
Murry county, Ga. He is kind heart
ed, good tempered: never had a quar-
rel In his life, wouldn't hurt fly and
everybody is afraid of him. About q
year ago he-~as cutting wood when
the axe flew off the handle and killed
a man who come to pay him $4,000
He never got cent of the money.
The next week while fer1yinga q friend
"cross the river, he ran the boat a
against a snag md his friend
was dro wned. About month later
he felled tree on stranger, who
was lying asleep in the woods, which
killed him instantly. Not long age
he shot at wild turkey, and killed q
neighbor whom he didn't SEQ at
al. Three weeks later he lighted a
kerosine lamp, whom it suddenly OK,
ploded burning to death a colporteur
to whom the offensive Georgian had
courteously extended the hospitalities
of his homo. All this mans friends
run when they sec him coming. He
is himself, afraid to extend any kind
ness save to his enemies, of whom he
has mono. His last public act was tc
cross the street with ladder on shoI
der last 4th of July, while q process
sion was passing, and when somebody
shouted to him to 'shurry on" he
oblgingly turned around and started
back. The procession was laid out
and the day spoiled.-Broohlm Lu

THE RAILROAD RATE WAR.
All Parties Getting Tired Of It--Iiostility
to the AtcllisOn Road.

Recently correspondent saw Il proni.
inent official Of the Union Pacific road.
He said regarding the present war to the
PACIFIC Coast, the matter is now in the
hands Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com.
pany, and the Morgan Il Texas line. Ali
this talk about the Chesapeake 4 Ohio be-
ing used as a factor against the Atchison,
Topeka Il Santa Fe is n bluff. Wcll.u-
formed railroad men know Huntingtons
policy. 1t is more than probable that b,
Tuesday or Wednesday OF next week, a
conference OF the managers will be held
to reconsider the cut rate business. From
talks with different agents it was learned
that all members Of the former transconti.
mental pool are thoroughly disgusted with
the present rate OF war. No big shipments
are being made. The Clipper lines are
practically idle, and the Pacific mail al.
though cutting on the quiet, can do abso-
lutely nothing till its contract with the
Pacific roads has expired. All big drv
goods houses in New York forwarded
their shipments to Pacific Coast points a,
the commencement OF the present rate.
war. Railroad men declare there is no
freight left to fight for. The feeling
against the Atchison road is very strong,
and the Southern Pacific intends to fight
them III bitter earnest. Huntington said
that he deplored the present war Of rates,
but intended to protect his patrons in
tercsts at any cost.

\ NEW DESERT LAND BILL.
1t il Made Appliable to Utah. Idaho, Etc.
Its Provisions.

Representatives Morrow and Louttit
have appeared before the House Commit
tee on Public Lands, to advance the adop-
ton OF Henley's bill to promote the recla-
nation Of desert lands. The bill allows
any one upon payment in advance of
twenty-five cents per acre to file declara.
ton Of intention to reclaim tract Of
desert land no. exceeding one section by
conducting water uron said lands, ST, as to
thoroughly irrigate and reclaim the sam g
within three years, at the expiration Of
which period il he can show that he has
expended at least one dollar per acre
each year, that is three dollars per
acre during the three years, IA
patent shall be ISSUED him. All lands cx.
elusive of timber and mineral lands, which
will not without irrigation produce some
agricultural crop, shall be deemed desert
lands within the meaning OF the act, which,
shall only apply to the States Of Califor.
mia, Oregon and Nevada and the Terri.
tories Of Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Utah, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexio and
Dakota. Several bills are pending before
the committee to repeal the laws providing
Tor the pre-emption, and timber culture
entries. California representatives state
that in their State there are about 10000.
900 acres OF land that should be occupied
by settlers, and that could be reclaimed
from the desert. The old desert land law
they admitted, had been a failure, and they
advocated in strong terms the adoption o
ilenlcy's bill, Or some measure Of the kind
tending to make desert lands available
for settlement.

GOLD FIND IN PATAGONIA.
u. $. Consul Baker Reports on Its Extent
and Richness.

L. l.. Baker, Consul General to the Pat
asonia Republic, reports to the State De.
pact,:1ent that rich and extensive gold
field has been discovered there. These
points in Mr.. Bakers report, were obtained
from a report made by IL commissioner
appointed by the Argentinc Republic.
Among other things, that report says:
"According TO the opinion Of Il mining
engineer who has examined the case, the
auriferious layer extends along the coast
all the way from Cape Virgin to the north
Of Barrances Del Condor, distance Of
forty miles, and it is possible that it may
extend to Rio Gallcgos. The engineer
thinks that these gold deposits arc of
superior class, and that there is abundance
of both gold and platinum There has
never been any considerable gold mining
in this part of South America, an,: the ma.
tives have but the crudest notions of how
to proceed in the work of taking out gold.
Great excitement, however, prevails, and
the Chilians are already hard at work.
One hundred OF them from Sandy Point
have been at work in body. They have
only the crudcst and most primitive appli-
ances, which they have improviscd on their
own account, hut nevertheless, they have
collected ON an average us grammes Of
ore per day each. Baker says that it is
impossible now to estimate the extent of
wealth ot the washings, but they are
thought to be as rich or richer than those
Of California and Australia. While giving
all these facts, Mr.. Baker advises that no
rush be made to these new mines until
something wore definite is known about
them.

in her husbands face that he fell back un
conscious and died from the effects. The
defense is that death was accidental and
that the chlorotorm was used with an in
nocent purpose. But the prosecutor in,
