Chinese Cutrages.

Minister Debry at Pekin has reported
to the secretary of state several cases of
outrages perpetrated by Chinese upon
Americans. An American Presbyterian
mission hospital established at Kwai Ping,
where considerable sum had been ex-
pended in putting up bulldogs, was
lately destroyed by the Chinese and the
occupants, including several ladies, stoned
nearly to death. Another case Is reported
wherein Methodist mission hospital at
Chun Kin, was demolished and the sole
occupant, a lady, was severely injured by
being stoned by the ung"llant celestials.
A complaint was made to the officials but
the matter was treated lightly. Minister
Debry states that ''it grew as all our evils
in China do, out of troubles in the United
States" A demand has been made for
the payment of the damages to property.

Tingle on the Seizure Of Foreign Sealers

Tingle on the Seizure of Foreign Sealers.
Special Agent Tingle of the treasury
department, has returned to Washing
ton from the Seal islands of Alaska.
He left Alaska shortly after the seizures
of the foreign sealers had been made by
Captain Abbey. In the case of the
British vessel Onward, Tingle says that
the master of thelvessel admitted having
killed his catch of seals along the shores
of the Seal islands. These predatory
sealers, he says, make a practice of
stealing ashore under cover of fogs. and
clubbing seals, which are then tossed
into boats and conveyed on board ships
to be skinned. Large numbers Of seals
are also shot, and this practice is partic-
ularly destructive, the fact that three
of every four animals shot sink and
cannot be recovered. Notwithsta2d-
ing these losses, the agent says seal life
is increasing with great rapidity. The
agent was not inclined to discuss the
legality of the seizures already made.
and stated that law officer had been
sent from San Francisco to assist in
prosecuting the cases before the Sitka
court.

The Montana Timber Cutters.

Washington special: Acting Secre-
tary of the Interior Muldrow has order
ed two more civil and criminal suits
against agents of the Montana Improve
ment company, w. B. Hammond of
Missoula and w. E. Fenwick, who cut
over 100000 feet from government
land. Agents Of the department have
found that the Montana Improvement
company has organized miners lum-
-ber company as disguise and is cutting
timber as actively as ever. All the as
sets of the old company have been as
signed to the new company to avoid ex-
ecution in case of the government sue
ceeding in its prosecution now pending
in the Wyoming courts. The company

agents also report that they have spent
$25,OOO in retaining the best lawyars in
Montana, Dakota and st. Paul for their
defense and boast that they have S75.-
600 more in bank ready for use if nec-
essary. Assistant Land Commissioner
Stockslager and Acting Secretary Null
drow both express confidence that the
company can he brought to terms be-
fore long. All efforts at compromise
have failed. The amount involved in
the pending suit is large, aggregating
at the lowest estimate ovel $1,250,OOO.
In the suits ordered it is directed that
the lumber taken by Hammond and
Fenwick he seized and sold.

New York Special, 21st in st: Nearly
5000 people Crowded into Cooper Hall
tonight to hear the prominent Socialist
leaders, DR.. Aveling, Mrs. Aveling and

He asserted that the condemned men

ment which would compel it to be

Blackguardism.

Tombstone, from its inception, has been noted for its fair and courteous treatment of strangers, and the vlllainous actions of few disreputable hoodlums last night, at the entertainment, de not, in any sense, tend to discredit our peo- pie. Whilst the Rev. c. H. Adams was giving his stereopticon entertainment, a few blackguards, among whom was Sol. Israel, sought by indecent insi- nuations and discredtable remarks to bring discredit upon Mr. Adams, who is known far and wide in Arizona as gen. erous, public.spirited gentleman. There were several others who initiated Israel, but none so bold and brazen as he. A man who has lived and thrived upon the generous patronage of a decent commu- nity, ought at least to respect it's churches and citizens. The darkness in the hall gave those vandals an opportunity to dis play their blackguardism to great advan- tage. The EPlTAPH is of the opinion that if James Coyle had been present, he would have landed some of those rowdie: in the cooler, there to mediate al leisure
 upon the propriety of their actions.

A Valuable Re-dIRcoYerY.

The discovery of the ancient quarries where the beautiful antique marbles were obtained is interesting. An extensive quarry, covering two thousand acres, has been quite recently discovered in the province of Gran, near the Mediter- ranean coast, in Algiers. The deposi, has been obtained by an Italian, who has constructed roads and begun opera tions. The deposit contains giallo anti co, breccia and cipoline, besides black and white marble. These fine colored stones can be laid on the wharf at Gran for about one dollar a cubic foot. The beautiful yellow marble gallo antico, has, until this late re-discovery, been un- known, save by the fragments found in Roman ruins two or three years ago.--Ex

That Tu uraOn Fight.

A special dispatch to the EPITAPit yesterday mentioned scrimmage which took place in Tucson on Monday be- tween two cattlemen. The following particulars of the affair are furnished by the Citizen
 "An allercation took place this morn- ing between Zack T. Vail and Mir. ]. S. Crosley that may prove 10 be very seri. ous matter 10 both gentlemen. They are partners in a cattle ranch, and, finding that they could not agree together, they proposed making division of the prop erty. In this matter they had failed sev- eral times to arrive at any satisfactory adjustment, and to-day some words passed between them when they met in front of Ivancovich X Cartoons fruit store Vail suddenly struck Crosley and the latter fell backward into box of eggs. Vail then grasped Crosley's cane and dealt him severe blow over the head, cutting the forehead considerably, and then with the hooked handle of the cane attempted to get hold of his neck, and in so doing cut Crosley under the jaw bone quite badly Bystanders interfered and Crosley was taken to his home, and his wounds, which are serious, were dressed. These are the circumstances as near as could be gathered from those who wit messed the affair.""

Banq que,ing Zoo at Chinaman's

While we consider that ii is proper to tender the Governor the honor that IS due the chief executive of our territory, and while we look upon Hoo Boxin as good citizen and an accommodating Chinaman, it was extremely bad taste and impolitic, just at the present time when the anti Chinese excitement is so high, to have rendered the Governor a banquet at a Chinese restaurant, as was done last night. The Governor could not, under any circumstances, have refused it, and it was certainly ungenerous to place him in a position where he could be so sub. feet to censure, Yuma Sentinel,

AT SCHIEFFELIN HALL.
A Large Audience EnjOy a Very
 Succ~ssrui Entertainment

I Another very successful entertain ment was last night added to lhe many, which have enlivened the past winter in Tombstone. The occasion was the per tormance in aid of the Methodist Church. Schieffelln Hall was crowded to it's fullest capacity, the little folks being numei ous and very interested spectators.
 The first piece in the programme was an instrumental duet, composed of selections from popular operas. This was we'll rendered by Mrs. F. B. Austin and J. Brown.
 Next came the leading piece of the evenlng-the "Fan Brigade"-it being very prettily and gracefully performed by the following young ladies, attired in costumes of the last century:
 Miss Sophie Jones, Minnie Jones, Cora Goodrich, Julia Street, Eva McNeil Ethel Williams, Lily Ham, Ebba Wood and Rosa Troops.
 Thia performance received well merited encore.
 After well-played polka on the piano by Miss Leona Hayes, two tiny ones Kitty Nibecker and Ralph Brown-gave the tiny comedy of "Dotty Dick and Dicky Dot" which elicited a vast amount of applause.
 Next came 1.-The Fisherman" vocal duet, most excellently sung by Mrs Theo. F. White and Mrs. F. C. Prescott who substituted another song on receiv- ing an eucore.
 Following this was what, by univer- sal consent was admitted to be the gem of the evening-a recitation by Mrs. F. B. Austin. This lady recited tragic scene from Roman history. with such dramatic power and elocution- ary effect, as to electrify her hearers. Nothing finer in the elocutionary line has ever been heard in this territory outside of the profession and very sell dom has anything superior been given by the mos. finished actors. A raptar- ous encore was answered by clever dialect piece and when the audience, not yet satisfied, again called Mrs. Austin before the curtain, she recited "Mary's Little Lamb," in chldlke manner, with such ingenious natural. ness as to bring down the house.
 Miss Leona Hayes then gave another pretty piano solo-The Gazelle which was encored.
 After this came Popping Corn," an amusing recitation, by a number of young Misses and then the Big Sun Flower," pretty and original conceit, in which number of little girls, with only their faces visible to the audience, in the hearts of as many big sun flowers, painted on white curtain, sang the song of that name, in so well trained and artistic manner as to call for repetition.
 The lights were then turned down for stereopticon exhibition by Rev. C. H. Adams, in the course of which many very beautiful and interest ing pictures were shown. The audience went home feeling that while they had contributed their mites to worthy cause, they had at the same time received more than full value for the small price of their tickets.
 Tombstone is to be congratulated on the talented and successful manner in which her amateur performances are carried out. Few cities of anything like the size could make so good a showing.

games, mere was SIMPLY promlsculIy Oh
OSCILLATION of the most unabashed de-
scription. There was no ring to begin
with, only an imperfectly cleared space
in the middle of great crowd. In this
crowd a young woman would approach
young man-as often as not a perfect
stranger-thrust chip into his hand,
and then bolt across the green. The
man chases her, runs her down, and
brings her back with his arm around her
waist, enters the cleared space, and
kisses her, sometimes half dozen times,
before the onlookers. Sometimes the
girl chases the man, sometimes the man
the girl. If they want their kisses sans
ceremonie they were caught at once,
and kissed without more ado.
If they prefer to saunter, waist-encir-
cled, as preliminary, the chase was a
long one. But the end was always the
same. Shades of 'Sallie Walker" and
Single Drop Handkerchief, which en-
hven the village green of the sterner
north! After seeing the way they kiss
in the south began to understand the
alleged prevalence of the kissing game
in the London Sunday school. The be
nighted southron seems to need evangeliz-
alton in nothing more than in the mys-
terry of osculation. The Sunday schools
which undertook this great and neces-
sary work seem to me to have been very
unnecessarily abused.-Cor. Pail Mall

Rare Relic of the Confederacv.

A gray coat has been hung in case at
the National museum near the collection
of relics of the Confederacy. This coat
was a Confederate officers coat, and
though such garments were worn by
thousands of men less than twenty-five
years ago, they are regarded as rare
curiosities.
The cloth, which is gray, is not of very
fine texture. 1t is a frock coat, with
cuffs and military collar faced with blue.
The sleeves are embroidered with gold
braid. There is no shoulder-straps, but
instead three bars on the collar indicate
the rank of the wearer. The buttons
are similar to United States buttons, ex-
cept there is no lettering upon them.
They have embossed upon them the
American spread eagle, with the Union
shield upon its breast, and surrounded
by a galaxy of stars. Mr.. Howard Clark,
who has charge of the historical collec-
ton, expects soon to obtain possession of
a coat of an engineer officer in the Con-
federate service.
What became of all the old gray and
butternut suits after Appomattox is one
of the mysteries which those only can
explain who have made deep study of
the average life and the final destiny of
a suit of clothes. s.-Washington Star.

The ChIvaIry of Then and Now.

"There has been much holding up of
hands and shaking of heads" writes
James Payn from London, "over a love
affair in the Black country, where two
young men fought with fists for three
quarters of an hour by a Wednesday,
clock for the Lossession of fair damsel
who had promised to take as her bride
groom the one who proved himself the
better man; yet in the good old times
nothing was more common, and such an
incident was held to be full of romance.
The whole difference lies in the fact that
in the one case the combatants were
knights in Milan steel, and, in the other,
workingmen in their shirt-sleeves; and /
am inclined to think that a good deal of
the chivalry of the middle ages would
disappear if the Milan steel were scraped
off.-Exchange.
