| IeSIerudy IuOrnluS Just us tue train was pulling out, information reached town that a killing had occurred at Wards ranch, one and one half or two miles down the river Our efficient Coroner was prompt ly on hand to hold an inquest, but his official services were not requir- ed, as the supposed corpse was met coming towards town. He was ar rested and placed in jail. It ap- pears that Pedro 5. G.. Lama, the Mexican school teacher here, had a rival for the heart and hand of Miss Leila Ward, in the person of Mariana Soils, who not meeting with favor from the young lady, had resolved to assassinate both his successful rival, and his inam- orata. The marriage of Lama to Miss Ward on Monday evening last, aroused the demon of jealousy which had been slumbering in the bosom of the rejected lover, and he determined to wreak summary vengeance upon the individual who had thwarted him, and had become the happy husband of the much coveted prize. With this ob- ject in view, he stealthlly approach ed the house, where the happy couple, all intent on each other, and unmin dful of all the world be- sides, were quietly taking their morning meal, and ruthlessly dis turbed them by opening the door and cowardly attacking the groom from behind, with dirk knife. The intended victim was taken by sur prise, and received two ugly gash- es over the right eye, as well as cuts on other portions of the body. Lama, in endeavoring to shield his body, had the thumb of his left hand nearly severed. He suc- ceeded finally in freeing himself, and jumped for his gun, when his cowardly assailant fled, followed by couple of shots from Lama's pistol as he escaped through the corral; in his haste, the would-be assassin dropped his hat, which was picked up by his intended vic tim, and brought up to town. The hearing of the case was set for 10 o'clock to day.
 The hearing of the case at the request of the accused, who was unprepared, was continued until to morrow at 10 o'clock.

Mrs CIeveIandl's Bug.

The White House bride has not
exactly started curious fashion, but
she has revived an old one. Among
the many odd trinkets that formed
part OF her trousseau was live bug
about an inch and a half in length,
looking like bit of light, speckled
wood. Around the insects body is a
tiny gold harness to which is attach
ed fine chain. The lady fastens
this chain to her left shoulder and the
bug wanders about at its own sweet
will. This species Of bug is called the
"Machette" and is imported from Yu-
catan. They were fashionable orna-
ment some twenty or thirty years ago
and now that Mrs. Cleveland wears
one they have once more sprung into
popularity. Several of our leading
jewellers are selling the "Machettes'
af fast as they can import them al
the rate Of Sc apiece. They are sale
to be deaf, dumb and blind and sub
sist ,,on scraps of dead wood. Deaf
dumb and and blind! WHAT wOnde

know that, deep within your heart OF hearts,
You hold me shrined apart from common
things,
And that my step, my voice, can bring to you
gladness that no other presence brings,
And yet, dear love through all the weary days
You never speak one word of tenderness,
Nor stroke my hair nor softly clasp my hand
Within your own, in loving, mute caress.
You think, perhaps, should be all content,
To know so well the loving place hold
Within your life, and so you do not dream
How much long to hear the story told,
You cannot know, when we two sit alone,
And tranquil thoughts within your mind are
stirred.
My heart is crying like a tired child
For one fond look, one gentle lovind word.
1t may be when your eyes look into mine,
You only say "HCw dear she is to me"
OH could read it in your soitened glance
How radiant this plain old world would be!
Perhaps sometimes, you breathe secret prayer
That choicest blessings unto me be given,
But If you said aloud, "God bless thee, dear"
! should not ask greater boon from heaven
weary sometimes of the rugged way,
But should you say, Through thee my life il
sweet"
The dreariest desert that our path could cross
Would suddenly grow green beneath my feet
'Tis not the boundless waters ocean holds
That gives refreshment to the thirsty flowers
But just the drops that, rising to the skies,
From thence descend in softly falling showers
What matter that our graneries are filed
With all the richest harvest's golden stores,
II we who own them cannot enter in,
But famished stand before the close-barre
doors?
And so It's said that those who should be rich
In that true love which crowns our earthlylo
Go praying with white lips from day to day,

The River and HInrbOr BiH.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Nearly the
whole session of the Senate to-day was
devoted to the consideration of the
river and harbor bill. Not one-third
fit was gone over, a larger part OF the
day being given toa discussion OF the
Senate amendment appropriating
$4,000 for the purchase of the stur-
geon Bay and Lake Michigan Ship
Canal and Harbor OF Refuge This
was finally passed over and the read
ing of the bill progressed.
There seems to be little use for the
Senate to proceed with the bill, MS
everything points to the prospect that
it will be allowed to fail by reason OF
non-concurrence OF the House in the
Senate amendments. 1t is under
stood that Speaker Carlisle advises,
when the bill is returned from the
Senate loaded down, as it will be, with
various amendments largely .ncreas-
ing its original aggregate amount. The
responsibility for the failure of the
bill will then be thrown upon the Re
publican Senate for so greatly increOs
ing the appropriations.
1t is also believed that the Presiden
would veto the bill if it should go tt
him and it is understood that Speake
Carlisle recommends that this action
by the President be anticipated by al
lowing the bill to fall with the expir
alton OF the session.
Among the items passed over in tn
bill to-day we're the following In
proving harbor at Erie, $4,000 in
proving channel at Marcus Hool
SIS, 900; improving Delaware Break
{ water, $75, 600: ice harbor at Ne
| Castle, $4,000, and harbor at Whining
ton, ,$25,O00.

A Public BniIding bill Vetoed

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Presi-
dent to-day sent to the House his veto
of the bill providing for the erection
of public building at Duluth, MINI.
1t is vetoed, the President says, be-
cause he is entirely satisfied that the
building provided for is not imme-
diately necessary, and he adds that
"not little legislation has lately been
perfected and very likely more will
be necessary to increase miscalculated
appropriations for, and correct blum
ders in, the construction of many of
the public buildings now in process of
erection"

Treasury Clerks 10 60.

WASHINGTON, July THE Treas.
ury clerks are very uneasy over the
prospect of further decapitations on
the 10 OF the month. The entire
number of changes in the department
caused by the passage of the legisla-
tive bill will be about one hundred and
sixty, including the sixty who were
dismissed at the end of June. The
majority Of the remaining one hun
dred, it is said, will be dismissed to
take effect July 10, the date upon
which the law providing for the tenn
porary expenditures of the govern
ment expires.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The an
nouncement from New York that
Secretary Manning would not return
to his desk in the Treasury Depart
ment created no surprise here among
well-informed people. There were a
good many, however, especially in
the department itself, who are greatly
disappointed. Treasury officials who
came into Office under Mr.. Manning
were 10th to believe that he had per-
manently retired, because they did
not wish to see him go out for rea-
sons personal to themselves. Their
love of Mr.. Manning himself, as well
as personal intrrests, led them to mis-
represent his real condition at the
time of his stroke and his tardy con-
valescence. Personal friends of the
Secretary, who were intimate enough
to know what was really the case
were not deceived by these represen'
tations.
AS much as they regretted the
matter they saw no reason to disguise
the fact that the career of a valued
official was closed. Subsequent events
have shown that this sad result, earl!
indicated in The Times dispatches
was correctly foreshadowed.
As to Mr.. Manning's successo
opinion is not well settled ON an,
man, though a rather decided cul
rent sets toward Ex-senator McDon
aid, of Indiana. He has been closete
, with the President several times re
Gently, and his well-known SCUM
views on the financial question col
meet him very naturally, perhap
, with the Treasury. In the opinion
many, however, the appointment wi

The blatherskites and demagogues
had field day in the House of Rep
resentatives yesterday, but in spite OF
their scolding the President went
right along sending in vetoes OF pri-
vate Jobs and the house referred all
messages to committee without re-
gard to the bowling Of the jobbers.
If it be granted that any private
pension bills are necessary-and Presi-
dent Cleveland has approved very
many of them-it is easy to imagine
that in some cases there may be room
for an honest difference of judgment
and that Congressman might prop
erly deem the Presidents objections
insufficient. But if the Republican,
undertake to treat the whole business
as party matter the only plain cours'
for the Democrats is to accept the is
sue and sustain the President through
out.
There need be no doubt that th
country will sustain him and then
None rejoice more heartily than tn
soldiers OF the war that the raids {
shirks and liars and jobbers upon tn
pension fund have been arrested
The President is right and thel
ought not to be the slightest hesitatio
in standing by the vetoes.-PhiladC
