The appearance of Geronimo has
laid at rest many tictions as to his APP
pearance and condition. A CORE
spondent, who had frequent opportu-
mites of seeing him face to face, says
he is young brave, under thirty, of
handsome figure and fine bearing. He
has never been wounded, and appar-
emily his band would have been good
for many more months of guerrilla
warfare had not their supply of ammu-
milton given out. This account OF
Geronimo agrees with the sketch given
10y Capt. John G.. Bourke in his AN
Apache Campaign" In that work
Capt. Bourke describes Geronimo,
whom he calls Hieronymo, as one OF
the youngest and handsomest of the
Chiricahua Apache chiefs, but one who,
in spite of his youth, exercised great
influence over his companions.

SENATOR JONES, of Detroit, formerly
of Florida, has written a letter to q
friend in Washington, in which an in
tention to return to that State is ex'
pressed by the wandering Scion. 1t is
said that Mr.. Jones will be a candidate
for reelection to the Senate. A flat
denial of any matrimonial purposes in
going to Detroit is made, and bad
health is pleaded in explanation OF the
jaunt. The prodigal, in fact, seems to
have wearied of Michigan husks.

their husbands were accustomed to

that this conduct "was contrary to the

For six years ali injunction obtained
at Pittsburgh by the Bessemer Steel
Company has prevented steel being
made in the United States by the basic
process, invented by Jacob Reese. This
injunction has just been diss lived by
the master. who dismisses the bill with
costs to the Bessemer Company. The
company had the effrontery to assume
that its acid process covered Reese's
basic process, an absurdity that might
have been perceived by an industrious
master in less than six years. AS the
ores of the South, containing phos-
phorus, are well suited for the basic,
and not for the Bessemer process, the
decision dissolving the injunction is of
the first importance TO that section.

JAMES BARD, of Trinity County, Cal.
while in the army and about to shoot

of his hand was the result, and he
thought it was the bullet in his hand
The wound rapidly healed, and never
bothered him until recently, when il
panied him TO lift his hand. An oper

A WRITER in Truth (London) relates
that when "Unser Fritz" was guest at
the Tuileries during the exhibition of
1857 he wished to see the interior of
the forts around Paris. But as they
were in miserable state of defense, it
was arranged to evade complying with
his wish. He, however, managed in
this wise to do without an order of ad-
mission: For some mornings he made
early excursions to distant places, ac-
companied by French aid-de-camp
who was placed at his disposal. One
morning, on his way to the Bicetre
Asylum, he said to the officer: "What
if we run up to the fort beside it? p The
aid-de-camp did not see the harm, and
took him not only into it, but into all
on the south side of Paris. With his
well trained eye the Crown Prince saw
the military poverty of the land, and
the exact defensive capacities of the
line of works.

THE Carson New appeal is respon-
sible for this snake story: Jake Bel
man, On employee on COINS ranch, went
up into the hills to get some cattle,
when he encountered a snake. The
reptile was close to large rock when
he found him, and the rock was fanked
by log. Beiman noticed a large hole
at an angle of the rock and log, for
which the snake made on being sur
prised. Seeing large rock, he cast it
at the snake, grazing its body. On re-
ceiving the blow, it turned like light
ming and sprang at its antagonist.
Beimap stumbled over some bushes,
and the snake coiled about him in an
instant. A piece of wood was close to
the mans hand, and reaching for it, he
struck the snake several sharp blows
on the head. The latter turned and
ran his head into the hole, dragging
Beiman close to it. The man braced
his feet against the rock, but could not
extricate himself, as the snake had
twisted half its body around his left
leg, and, as he afterward said, "was
just squeezing the life out of it." Bel
man was nearly an hour in this pre-
dicament, until he finally thought OF
his knife, and getting it out of his
pocket. jabbed it into the snakes body.
After few cuts the snake became en-
ragged, and began to wriggle its head
out of the whole. Beiman saw that
his time was short, and made lively
attack on the snakes neck, severing
it. The instant it was severed the neck
rose convulsively in the air and O
spout of blood came full in the fright
ened mans face. At this point he
tainted away, and he thinks he must
have remained in that condition over
an hour. When he came to the snake
was still coiled around his leg, but
dead. He brought it home, and it is
now on exhibition at the ranch. II

ST. LOUIS, April 2l.-Several Of the
men employed by the Chicago, Bur
lirgton and Quincy and Louisville and
Nashville railroads to til the places OF
striking Knights of Labor quit work
this morning, giving as their reason
that they were afraid OF violence from
strikers should they continue in the
company's employ. Not enough Of
these men stopped work, however, to
seriously interfere with the running Of
trains, and the cOmpany's business con-
tirues uninterrupted.
Late last night On the Cairo Short
Line freight train was made up in the
railroad yards in East St. Louis, and
had proceeded on its way out Of the
city beyond the last line Of sentries
when it was boarded by number Of
strikers, who seized one Of the brake
men and dragged him to the ground,
whtre they administered to him severe
beating before the military guard could
res pond to his cries for help. The
brakeman is in critical condition.
AID FOR THE ST. LOUIS STRIKERS.
ST. LOUIS. April 2l.-The General
Executive Board Of the Knights Of
Labor received to-day $4,000 in drafts
and postal money orders Tor the strikers
fund. One contribution OF g 500 was
received from the New York Protective
Association accompanied by the infor-
nation that like subscription would
be sent each week if necessary until

FREIGHT-CARs sIDE-TRACKED.
CHICAGO. April 2l.-Fiye hundred

jority Of which are bound for Chicago,
are side-trscked east Of South Chicago.
Many Of these cars contain bonded
goods, which are in a measure under
the protection Of the United States
Government. Ii is thought that an
attempt will be made TO bring them in
over the Michigan Central railroad.
In consequence of lack Of business
caused by the Lake Shore strike
about fifty freight-handlers employed
by the Rock Island road at Engle-
wood have been discharged.
INDUCING swITCHMES TO QUIT.
CHICAGO, April 2l.-In-bound
trains on the Lake-Shore road brought
fifteen or twenty ssitchmen to Chicago
to-day. They came mostly from To-
ledo and Cleveland in response to or
ders from headquarters here for men to
take the places of the strikers. The
Union in q short time had commit
tees circulating through the various
hotels arguing with the men
and inducing them to give up their
intention Of filling these vacancies.
In many cases they were successful,
and by dint Of promises and argument
they claim TO have won over nearly all
the arrivals. Nearly all Of the men
seemed to have . Misrepresentation oil

come only with the idea Of oeeying or
