AN OLD MURDER.
Discovery of the Murder of Chinese Com
mited In Idaho Over u Year Ago.

Discovery of the Murder OF Chinese Com
mited Ira Idaho Over Year Ago.
SAN Francisco, May Mail aivices
today brought the first authentic details
of a wholesale murder OF Chinese miners
in the Snake River country, Idaho nearly
one year ago. At that time the deserted
camp was found on the river bank aud the
blood-staned cond;tition of the huts and
pieces OF clothing found led to the SUPPOSE
ton that a terrible crime had been COM
mitted. The bodies of several Cinnamon
who were known to have belonged to the
camp were found floating in the river, and
their condition was in confederation of the
theory Of murder. Several arrests have
been made lately, and the following facts
connected with most extraordinary
and brutal massacre are given: 1t seems
that IN May last a party of half
dozen miners left what is known az
Douglas Cabin ostensibly to search for
stock. They were fully armed, and made
their way TO high bluff overlooking the
camp of the Chinese, who were known 10
have considerable money in gold dust and
coin. Two men named Garfield and Larne
opened fire on the Chinese and killed ter
men. The bodies were thrown into the
river. The next day three of the parties
returned. One poor Chinaman, who had
not been killed but severely wounded, had
got into q boat and was working his way
across the river as best he could. Shortly
after tiic murd-rers arrived u wind blew the
boat towards the shore where they were
standing, and the Chnaman was dis
patched without further ceremony. The
assassns secured 5000 from the camp anC
escaped arrest for nearly year.

THE ARLINGTON, NEB., HOLOCAUST.

A special dispatch from Nashville,
Tenn, dated April %, says: Miss Mollie
Green is u heroine in Perry County to-
night. She is but eighteen years old, and
teaches school on Cypress creek in Perry
County, though her father Robert Green,
lives across the Tennessee river in Hick-
man County. The little log schoolhouse
was quiet and the little children busy
wit their lessons. when dog. foaming
at the mouth, Swapping and biting, dashed
in at the door and sprang towards one of
the children. The brave teacher thought
only OF the children in her care, and sprang
between them and the intruder. She told
them IL was a mad dog, and kicked at il,
her skirts protecting her, and by the aid
OF heavy ruler she kept it at bay
until all the children had fed. The infu-
rated animal repeatedly sprang at her
throat, but she vas two agile to be caught
and resoluteiy held her ground. When all
the little ones were gone she desperately
fought OF the dog until she reached the
door. which she pulled to after her and fell
fainiing outside. The children had in the
meantime run TO the nearest house, an
eighth or mile distant, and given the
alarm. Two men came up, and after re-
viving the teacher with water killed the
dog. The dog had been in the neighbor-
hood for few days. The grateful parents
OF the children took up a subscription
and propose TO give the young lady
fine saddle horse. Her clothes were lit
orally torn of during the struggle with the
dog.

The use of the mosquito has been
at last discovered. Prof. Webster says
that injurious organic matter in the
water, instead of decomposing and
poisoning people, Is changed into wig
gle tails which in due time become
mosquitoes, and the winged matter
flies away. leaving the water purified
to the extent of their ability to remove
the impurities. If fish are kept in the
water they eat the 'wiggle-tails.' and
grow large enough to serve as food for
man. Thus the poisonous ingredient
of impure water becomes healthful
food. Without mosquitoes most
nrarshy or swampy land would be dam
gerOusly insalubrious.

opening at the Stock Exchange this morning
promptly responded to the result OF the election
by being a liberal buyer OF nearly all the active

cent higher than Mondays closing figures. When
London orders were executed there was some hesi-
ttatIon and decline in prices; but not TO the
figures of Mondays closing. The bears Ell
