Chinese Wedding in Paris.

Fall Mail GaZelIe.
The Chinese Minister has taken to himself
a second wife, writes the Paris correspon-
dent OF the Daily News. She was brought
over from China, and is the daughter of
first-class mandarin. All the outdoor pro-
fessional part OF the wedding ceremonial
which Chinese custom prescribes was ellmi
mated and thus there was no celestial pa
geantry. The late Embassadress died at
Berlin thirteen months ago. She left a
daughter, W ose arrival here in Paris
caused a sensation at the terminus OF the
Northern Railway, because she was SO dis
tinctly funnily and prettiy Chinese. Her
travelling dress, which she meant to be Eu.
ropean was OF pink silk and white satin,
embroidered in the brightest colors, with
flowers and birds. There was no European
at the ambassadors wedding. The bride
is turned II. She will probably appear in
society here during the after Easter season

Big Strike on Main Street.

Old men, young men and men OF middle
age crowded into the excavation on Main
street, between Granite and Quartz, last
evening, and eagerly perused notice
pasted on one of the adamant walls. 1t
was location notice, and set forth that
the persons whose names it bore lin lead
penciD had located the excavation and
several hundred feet of ground surrounding
it rs THE Woods Quartz Claim The
notice was stuck on a reddish colored
streak OF clay in the granite formation,
and some of the experts who examined the
clay said it was carbonates that would
average $40 to the ton, while Others ran
the figures up to $4OO. It is modest
estimate to place the number Of people who
read the notice and examined the clay at
5000. The news OF the ''strike" spread
like wildfre, and as The MINER goes to
press this morning men are striking
matches by which to see and satisfy them
selves.

MISSOURI JUSTICE,
How George Graham, 3 Wife Murderer,
Expiated His Crime.

,
Expiated His Crime.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, April 27.-George E.
Graham. the wife murderer, was hanged by
a mob at 2:3O o'clock this morning. He
made no entreaties for mercy, but went to
his death stoically, and died apparently
without a struggle. The lvnchers numbered
about 200 armed and masked men. They
surrounded the county jail at l: 20 d. IN.
and demanded the surrender OF the prisoner.
The Sheriff refused TO comply, when the mob
overpowered him and battered down the
prison doors and secured their victim. At
o'clock they moved down Bouiville street
with Graham in their midst. The people
who saw the weird procession fapcied that
the lynchers would take Graham to the
Malloy farm, there hang him and throw his
body into the well where his murdered wife's
decaying corpse was found, but the leaders
OF the avengers had other plans.
They started in the direction of
Malloy place as d ruse for they gave their
followers the slip, and while yet in the city
limits hanged Graham to tree just one
hour after the attack had been made on
the Jail. The mob then quickly dispersed
in all directions, and on Graham's dang
| ling body an obituary notice. written in
charteristic Western style was pinned. 1t
was plea that justice had been done and
a warning to ex-convicts ard murdercrs.
''We also give warning, it said, 'that any
| person or persons OF any rank or section,
who dare to discover the actors in this
tragedy, will be surely and speedily dis
| patched to hell where all things
are reviewed. To the curious in
justice to the memory OF Sarah Graham, a
loving wife and tender mother. whose life
was sacrificed at the altar OF 'Hecate' we

County, Missouri
The Coroner held an inquest over the
| body this morning. The jury returned a
| verdict to the effect that deceased came to
his death by strangulation at the hands OF
persons unknown.
Cora Lee, Graham's alleged accomplice,
had been informed that an attempt to
| lynch him would be made, but she failed to
notify the sheriff or to make any attempt
| to save her loyer's life.

Der. There were no loose timbers in the
cut, and the men proceeded to remove one
of the timbers then in use as supports.
just as soon as the timber was removed
the bank caved, burying Hoskings beneath
four feet OF loose dirt. Eva escaped inter.
ment, and summoned his comrades, and in
Il brief time the body of the unfortunate
miner was recovered and removed to the
surface. Life was entirely extinct. Death
had evidently resulted from suffOcation, as
no bones were broken.
Cor. :ner WhitfOrd was notified OF the sad
affair, and he at once summoned a jury
and proceeded to Burlingt on. After view
ing the remains, an inquest was held, and
the jury returned verdict of accidental
death.

Two Miners Killed.

Two Cornish miners named Noble and
Toy were killed last Saturday in the Gran
ite Mountain mine, at Philipsburg. As the
unfortunate men hailed from Butte, where
they had host OF acquaintances, the de-
tails of their death are of local interest.
They were working near together in the
mine, about 100 feet from the surface. Toy
was fixing some timbers in the main shaft
at the No. 5 tunnel station. when an un-
lucky move lost him his footing and sent
him headlong down the shaft. Hefe about
80 or 80 leet and was killed instantly. No
BILE. who was near by heard the cries OF the
unfortunate man and rushed to his assis-
tance. Losing his customary caution in his
excited anxiety to 60 to his friends assis-
tance, he hurried on through the dark pas
sage, and before he was aware OF the prox-
unity OF the shaft. came suddenly upon it.,
and stepping over the brink launched him
self into eternity. His corpse was picked
up afterwards ut a point $50 feet below the
place from which he fell. Both bodies were
hoiated from the mine and were made the
subject Of coroner's inquest the next day.
The verdict was accidental death, and ex-
onerated the management OF the mine from
all blame in the matter.

THE GREEK TROUBLES.

Conflicting Reports From the Scene--.
France Undecided
LONDON, April 2S.-Th' news from Greece
is conflicting. One dispatch states that
France did all in her power. to secure a
favorable settlement for Greece by its intli-
vldual mediation. but failed. 1t is also
stated that France did not sign the ulti-
matum in which the other Powers Joined,
ordering Greece to disarm, she has not
yet signed it, and that if she eventually
does sign, that the fact will be communi-
Gated to Greece in a separate note. Greece,
lit is averred, is arranging to seek from the
Powers, certain concessions in return for
disarming. Other dispatches say: Greece
disarmed before receiving the ultimatuu,
which ordered the disa rming to take place
within eight days, and that when Prenier'
DeIgannis received the ultimatum, he De-
clared it was Objectless as orders for dis
arming had already been given.
A Vienna dispatch says: 1t ie under4
stood that France intended to propose al
conference for the purpose OF making coR5
cessions to Greece. A telegra m from Athens
states the combined fleets of the Powers
will probably return to Pieraus to-day to
embark the foreign ministers. |
