for the express robbery, and their cap.
ture by the Indians. The men were
aided in their escape by an accomplice
named Young, who had horses ready

him of his rifle. His warriors, a
dozen in number, came up soon
after and gave chase to the robbers.
A running fight ensued and Lovett and

the latter being shot twice and probably
fatally wounded. Young was better
mounted and doubling upon his pursu.

MURDER TRIAL.

when He Murdered John
Clark.


SAN JOSE, December 25.-In the trial
OF John w. Clark for the murder of
Owen Leggett, the defense yesterday
introduced number of witnesses who
swore that during the last two years the
defendant had changed from bright,
affable boy to sullen and morose one,
and had ldeveloped decided aversion
to his parents, and from these and other
symptoms they believe him to be in.
sane at the time he killed Leggett. and
now. In rebuttal DIR. w. Ii. Mays, Su.
perintendent of the Asylum at Stockton,
testified that the defandant was admit
ted to that institution on June last and
remained two months and a half. The
witness regarded the defendant as of
low order of intellect, with the grosser
passions predominating, but always
considered him sane, with the
power to distinguish between right and
wrong. On the crossrexamination he
said that when persons were committed
by Judge and physician he believed it
to be his duty to retain them in the
asylum for time, even though he him.
self believed them to be sane, especially
so when, as in this case, he had the
knowledge that they had committed
him for murderous assault before be-
ing sent to the asylum. He admitted
he might have said to Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark, in opposing their wish for their
sons discharge, that he was suffering
under serious alteration of the mind,
but claimed that if he did it was unof-
ficiAly and only @ pretext to reconcile
them to his confinement until such a
time as in his judgment he thought that
it would be proper to release him. The
trial attracts much interest.

jump into the ice and drift that was
dashing against the pier. A rope was
thrown to her by the boys, but she re.
fused to grasp it. She was rescued by
policeman before life was extinct, but
efforts to resuscitate the suicide were OF
no avail.
She had visited the Office of DR.. Cham

that her intellect, previously brilliant,

her admission to the Iowa bar about
four years ago. Over.study is the cause

The Holiday Trade I'm New YOr X.

New YORK, December 25.-The holi-
day retail trade has grown to such enor.
nous proportions that it cannot longer
be handled even by the establishments
that have the largest facilities within
the compass of single week. The up
town bazars for few days and nights
have been literally in the hands of a
mob, though very well-behaved mob
but with much crushing and squeez ng
and other discomforts. Said a partner
in one. of the Sixth avenxe shops:
Next year we are going to try
new plan for the benefit of ourselves
and the community. Instead of keep
ing open evenings during Christmas
week only, as at present, we shall light
up on the first of December and keep
open till III o'clock. Then we shall
send circulars to our regular patrons
and give notice through the newspa-
pers that we ennage to procure any
article our patrons may desire within
thirty days and have it delivered at their
homes, so that there will be no occasion
for them to come to the store in person,
and catalogues will be prepared from
which they can make choice"

An Important Mining De-
cisiOn.
A REPORTERS SENSE OF HONOR
A Lady misunderstanding From
Orphans-A Family Burned
to Death.

DENVER, December 25.-The most i'm.
portant mining case ever tried in COL
orado was concluded in the United States
Circuit Court here yesterday. A million
of dollars depended on the result of the
trial and the ruling had involves the
title to nearly 500 mining claims in the
vicinity of Aspen, Pitin county.
The question at issue was whether the
Aspen mines were true fssure veins or
mere deposits of ore. If the fissure
theory were correct, then the owners
who claimed on the apex, or where the
outcroppings were visible on the surface,
had right under the United States
statute to follow the veins into other
claims. But if the deposit theory were
maintained then O vast aumber of mines
on Aspen mountain could be operated
of their claim.
The present suit was brought by d.
M. Hyman of Cincinnati, against J. B.
Wheeler of New York City and other
capitalists.
Hyman owns the Durant mine, an
apex claim, and Wheeler and his friends
own tine Emma mine, which lies imme-
diately beneath the Durant, on the side
of Aspen Hill. The Durant was the
older location, but the rich ore was first
struck in the Emma. Some $l,S0O, 600
worth of ore had been taken out of the
Emma when the Durant people brought
suit to gain possession of the Emma, on
the apex theory. The Court enjoined
the Emma people from conducting fur
ther operations.
The case has been on trial for three
weeks, the best-known mining experts
in the West being about equally divided
ON each side. Tonight the jury brought
in verdict in favor of the Durant mine.
The Aspen mine, the richest in the camp,
lies Immediately beneath the Emma,
and a suit is now pending to obtain pos
session brought by the Durant people.
Two million dollars has been taken from
the Aspen mine, and as much more was
in sight when the work on it was en-.
joined.
Other apex mine owners have been
awaiting the result of this trial, and
will now bring suit to recover the pos.
session of other mining claims.
This is the first case involving the
apex theory tried in Colorado since the
Leadville litigation was begun in the
early history of that camp, and which
was settled about three months ago in
the Supreme Court of the United States
against the apex theory.
In the Leadville cases the hanging
wall was claimed to be porphyry and the
foot wall limestone. In the Aspen case
it is claimed that the hanging wall is of
calcite and the foot wall dolomitio lime.

Jennie Lind and John II ward
Payne.

Perhaps the thrilling quarter of
an hour of John Howard Payne's life
was that when Jennie Lind sang "Home.
Sweet Home" to him. The occasion was
the Jennie Lind concert in Washington,
the night of December II, 1850. The
assembly was, perhaps, the most distin-
guished ever seen in concert.room in
this country. The immense National
Hall, hastily constructed tor the occa-
sion on the ruins of the burned National
Theater, was filled to overfowing.
Among the notables present aud occupy
ing front seats were President Fillmore.
Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, General
Scott and John Howard Payne.
Jenny Lind opened with the "Casta
Diva" and followed with the "Flute
Song" lin which her voice contested
rivalry for purity and sweetness with
flute in the duet), then the famous
BIRD Song" and next on her pro-
gramme the "Greeting to America" All
the pieces were applauded apparently
to the full capacity of an enthusiastic
audience, and Mr.. Webster, who was
in his most genial after. dinner mood,
emphasized the plaudit by rising from
his seat and making Jenny a profound
bow, as if responding for the country
to her Greeting"
But when the Swedish Nightingale"
answered the encore by turning in the
direction of John Howard Payne and
giving "Home, Sweet Home," with
all the wonderful tenderness, purity and
simplicity, fitting both the words and
the air of the immortal song, the differ
ence was at once seen between the.
mechanical applause called out by dis
play of fine vocalization, and that
ELECTED by the 'touch of nature
that makes the world kim" Be-
fore the first line of the song
was completed the audience was fairly
'off its feet," and could scarcely
wait for pause to give expression to
its enthusiasm. People ordinarily
of the undemonstrative sort clap
ped, stamped and shouted as If
they were mad, and it seemed as il
there would be no end to the uproar.
Meantime, all eyes were turned upon

lently at finding himself the center Of so

ST. LOUIS; No., December 25.-When
the Kirkwood accommodation train, east
bound on the Missouri Pacific road,
reached Cheltenham. one of the western
suburbs of this city last evening, seven
bars of silver bullion were put into the
Pacific Express Companys car attached
to the train, but when the express mat
ter was taken from the car, some time
after the train arrived here, only five
bars could be foun1, and the missing
silver has not yet turned up. There is
no doubt but that the car was robbed
while it was standing in the Union de-
pot yards, but there is no clue aa yet to
the robbers. The silver was shipped
by the St.Louis Smelling & Refining
Company, and was consigned to the
Third National Bank, Philadelphia. The
bars weighed about 70 pounds and were
valued at $1,000 each.

SENATOR LOGAN.
His Illness Reported TO Ee Dam
gerOus.

| WASHINGTON, December 25.-The
condition of General Logan, who has
been suffering several days from acute
rheumatism, has grown rapidly worse,
| so much so as to alarm his family. The
friends in attendance speak in despond-
ent terms of the prospect of his recov-
cry. DR.. j. Ii. Baxter, the attending
| physician, said to an Associated Press
reporter tonight that the Generals con-
dition was indeed alarming. "TEe i'll
ness," said the Doctor, "dates back
nearly two weeks, when l was called
and found him suffering considerably
from acute rheumatism, which was con-
fined chiefly to his right wrist. In the
course of three or four days it yielded to
treatment and he became very much
better. Within day or two, however,
he took additional cold which resulted
in relapse, the rheumatic affection
extending to his hips and other
extremities as we'll as to both arms.
The attack has been attended at times
by high fever and nervous prostration,
in which the brain is considerably in
volved, resulting in delirum more or
less active. While he Is net now suffer.
ing any pain incident to the rheumatism,
yet there has been for the past two or
three days gradual decrease in
strength and a tendency to brain COM
plication of a very serious nature. "The
fact is, said the doctor, she was too
much reduced in strength by overwork
and his system was not in proper condi.
ton to resist the disease. He lies most
of the time in semi-conscious condi-
ton, from which he is with difficulty
aroused. At times he knows his friends,
hut soon sinks into lethargic sleep.
The fever is somewhat increased to-
night" continued the doctor, land the
brain symptoms are more promine It and
his condition, l must say, is very crit
ical." In response to a question the
doctor said: 1.-The danger lies not so
much in the possibility of heart compli-
cations as in his extreme exhaustion and
brain affection. The doctor says the
Senator had an attack four years ago,
somewhat similar TO the present, but it
was not attended by many of the alarm
ing symptoms so prominent now. Bax-
ter has called Hamilton, Surgeon-Gen-
eral of the Marine Hospital, service,
and DR.. Lincoln, as consulting physi.
clans. Consultations are held three or
four times daily. One physician will
remain at the Senator's bedside tonight,
to be relieved by another, who will re
main during the entire day tomorrow.
LATER--The reporter who called at
Calumet Place at midnight, was told
that the Senator was thought to be
slightly better, seeming to have i'm
proved little in strength and to be less
inclined to stupor than earlier in the
evening DR.. Hamilton and Represen-
tative George g. Symmes, Of Colorado,
will remain at Senator Logan's bedside
during the night.

Chinese Rrufes.

SACRAMENTO, December 25.-During
the examination of Chin All Fee, Chin
All Ung and by Choy, charged with
kidnapping Mrs. Ah Gong, in Judge
Henley's Court yesterday. Mrs. Gong
testified that the day before she was
found by the officers, her captor, Chin
All Fee, tied her to bunk and brut-
ally assaulted her. The reason why she
had not mentioned this fact before was
because she thought her husband would
follow the Chinese custom and discard
her. The Judge will render his decision
next Monday.
