Ore Tests.

At their meeting held on Wednesday
evening, the board of trade appointed Il
committee TO confer with the owners Of
refractory gold lodes in this vicinity,
with a view to forwarding samples from
a number of such claims TO Denver for
assay, and test by the Newbery Nautin
patent process. This process. by reason
Of the marked success resulting from its
operations in Australia where the ores
treated were exceptionally refractory in
character, as well as in other countries
where the ores are free from galena, has
become very popular and as the ores
Of this locality are known TO cantain no
lead. it is confidently believed that this
process is we'll adapted TO its treatment
The board, through Mr.. J w. Higgin
bottom, a representative. of the English
syndicate controlling the patent referred
to, is assured that in case it can be de-
monstrated that the Custer refractory
gold belt contains ores in quantity that
will yield $l5 per ton, the company will,
without delay, erect a plant near this
city for the reduction Of the same by
the process named.
The ores will be shipped at once, and
should the tests prove satisfactory,
which no one familiar with their char
acter will question, it may be reasonably
expected that Custer will be city with
reduction works at period by no means
remote in the sweet pretty soon.

1t will not be deemed strange, or al
all surprising to many Of our readers
that, even at this early stage of the Gus

Buffalo Gap News has tumbled to the
fact of there being no Demonstrations
Of delight in Custer county over the
fact Of a Custer county man having been
nominated on the republican legislative
ticket. The reasons why the nomina-

measure Of delight which usually follow
events of this character, will doubtless
be better understood before the close of

Notwithstanding their defeat, the Wheel

THE CATHOLIC FAIR.
Unprecedented Success Last EvenIng-ClOs.
Ing Day.

Unprecedented buCCGhN L&lht EsNGllluk-NlOhs
Ing Day.
The sudden spell Of fine weather which
set in yesterday had the effect OF bring
ing out more people to the fair of the
Orphans and Knights OF st. George, in
the Capital rink, last evening, than on
any previous evening. The hall was
literally crowded, and there were more
pretty girls and gallant young gentlemen
than usual, which is saying much. Mr.
Charles Harding, of Baltimore, sang "a
Bedroom Love Song" and Mrs. George
b. Caldwell sang "a Song OF Home"
Mrs. Whitaker being unable to sing,
Mrs. Caldwell kindly consented to take
her place. Both solos were enthusiastic
ally applauded.
The Opera House Orchestra made
music all evening, which was very Mt
tractive feature. Some OF its best selcC-
tions were given, and to the delight OF
all. The orchestra made no charge for
its services-as valuable a donation to
the cause rs any that has been made.
Several more contests were settled last
night. A gentleman's dressing case raf-
fled off by the Committee was drawn by
ticket No. 60, held by W. S. Foose. A
fancy embroidered throw was drawn by
j. A. Fitzsimmohs with ticket No. 43; a
handkerchief and glove case by Joseph
Vorel, with No. 81, and IN elegant large
cake by Mrs. McCann, with No. l02.
The gold watch for which Misses
Frances Grubler and Anna Riddle were
contestants, was awarded to Miss Grub
Ter, she having turned in SlSl So and
Miss Riddle S44 65. The dinner set con-
tested for by Mrs. Robert Britt and Mrs.
Thomas Deegan was won by tho former,
though the amounts collected were sin
gularly close. Mrs. Britt had S77 and
Mrs. Deegan S76.20.
This evening the main rallies and con-
tests are to be decided. Some OF these
are very interesting. Kramer's full or
chestra will provide music free this
evening. The orchestras deserve much
credit Tor their liberality. Prof. Xii.
nyer will also play this evening, to say
nothing OF the music in the "side show"
the big organ and Prof. Leblanc.
One OF the best articles contested for
ut the fair is tho elegant buggy manu-
facturcd expressly for the occasion by
Frank Lotz. 1t is prominently display
cd, and wins admiration. Mr.. W. II.
Kulp, OF Bellaire, and Mr.. Lawrence
Woeber, OF this city, are the contestants,
Tonight is the last night OF the fair,
Those who miss it will not be wise.
The smoking-cap contest, under the
management OF Miss Bee GlapnOn and
Mr.. George Truschell, is exciting atten.
ton, and is novel feature OF the fair.
The young lady students at Mt. de

The audiences are getting larger each
evening at the Grand to see Prof. FitZ-
gerald. This afternoon there will be a
grand matinee for ladies and children,
when he will present "Morley's Ghost
and Little Nell" The prices to the
matinee will be 10 cents and children 10
cents. This evening he will present n
"Tour through India and the Holy
Land" No one should fail to see these
pictures, and Prof. Fitzgcrald's descrip-
ton Of them alone is worth twice the
admission fee. We hope that Manager
Genther will engage Prof. Fitzgerald for
another week, us we think that he will
do n good business. The weather has
been so bad every evening that twas al.
most impossible for the ladies to gel

SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Banker Rawson's Wife Shoots
Her Husbands Lawyer
IN A CHICAGO COURT ROOM
While Awaiting the Famous Divorce
Case-she Fires Five Shots Mt
Him, Two of Which Take
EGect-AnI Insane Act.

CHICAGO, June la tremendous sen
sation occurred in Judge Jamison'i
court shortly after ten o'clock this morn
ing. While the docket was being called
Mrs. Mockie L. Rawson was impatiently
waiting for the divorce case of her hus
band, Banker Rawson, to be called. Col
IL. c. Whitney, her husbands attorney
was sitting at side table writing when
the court was suddenly startled to heal
pistol, and Col. Whitney at once dis
appeared under the table. The shot was
followed by four more in rapid success
sion, and Mrs. Rawson was seen pur'
suing Whitney with Smith & Wesson
SO calibre revolver. Mrs. Rawson sue
ceeded in emptying her revolver at
Whitney before she could be captured.
Two OF the balls hit the lawyer, one
taking effect below the groin and the
other in the left leg. The wound near
the right groin will probably be fatal.
Judge Jamison at once order
ed Mrs. RawsOn's arrest, and she
was Immediately taken to Jail.
When the officers arrived Mt the jail with
their prisoner, Mrs. Rawson had every
appearance OF being an insane woman (;
her eyes were red and blOodshOt, and
she complained Of being cold and faint.
As soon as the search had been COM
pleted, she became more composed. The
Jail officers refused to allow the reporters
to sec her. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Rawson has been in desperate state Of
mind since the Appellate Court yester-
day refused to grant her solicitors fees
and said, in passing upon the merits Of
her pending divorce suit, that the testi-
mony was Overwhelmingly against her.
1t is also understood that Mrs. Rawson
claims that Lawyer Whitney trumped
up all the testimony which went to
show that she had been guilty OF inf
deity to her husband.
The shooting OF lawyer Whitney
marked another bloody period in the
celebrated divorce proceedings between
Mrs. Rawson and her millionaire hus-
band, and recalled the attempt on the
life Of the aged bankcrswhen he was
shot by his stepson.
After Mrs. Rawson had shot five times
ut Mr.. Whitney, Bailif Sunderland, an
old man, started for the murderous wo-
man and had fearful struggle with her.
He seized her around the waist from
behind and ut last succeeded in
wrenching the revolver from
her hand, and she was forced
into seat. The crowd that had gath
cred rushed to the assistance OF the fall
len man. He was lying on his side be-
side the clerks desk, blood trickling
from his garments. In several places it
had stained the carpet deep crimson.
He was CARED to the jury room at the
south end OF the court.

TIE ST LOUIS CONVENTION.
Question of the Vice PrOsIdcncy-senHtor
Hearst Possible Dark Horse.

question OF the NlcS iTchuChc3-SS"'eN
Hearst Possible Dark Horse.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June l.-While bu
comparatively few OF the actual partici
pants in the Democratic National Con
yention have yet arrived in st. Louis
yet each train brings its quota and the
city is gradually filling up. Among the
delegates now here the Vice Presidency
is the all.absorbing topic, there being
but one name even thought Of for the
head of the ticket. The situation in
regard TO second place as summed up by
the Republic this morning is as follows;
Thurman can have the nomination
il he will take it; Black will
have very tlattering following
especially frOmS the South; Morrison
will be iavorite OF the "true blues" i
Thurman positively declines; Gray will
have an immense following accompanied
by bitter opposition from Indiana.
Roger @. Mills will receive nice com
plimentary vote and Hearst. OF Calitor-
MIA, is n very promising dark horse.
Senator Hearst is ut present in st.
Louis. He said: ~ am not aching for
the Vice Presidency. Ibear CalifOrnias
commission in the Senate OF the United
States, and | consider that honor
enough. Idon't think that to surrender
n Senatorship and take the Vice Prcsi.
dency would be in the line OF promo
ton. / think n United States Senator
ship is about the biggest office on earth
at the present time"
"Could carry the Pacific coast for the
Democrats? Why, OF course could. l
can carry California. Oregon and Nevada
as a vice presidential candidate OF the
Democratic party. think almost any
Democrat with Cleveland in front OF him
can carry the Pacific coast States, but |
am sure | can"
The arrival Of the California delegation
yesterday added some interest to the
Hearst boom, but it is understood that
the Senator himself has been inclined to
discourage it. The real choice OF the
Californians is Thurman, and they are
willing to lead the procession to do him
honor. The first object OF the Califor-
mans, however is to make one OF their
men temporary chairman OF the conven-
ton. They present Mr.. Stephen w.
White, OF Los Angeles, as a competent
presiding officer and representative
Pacific coast Democrat for the honor OF
holding the gavel during the preliminary
proceedings OF the convention. The
CalifOrnians claim that their State has
never been honored blythe National de-
mOcracy and that little recognition at
ut this time would breed good results
next November. The delegations from
California, Oregon, Nevada and all the
Territories are expected to act as unit
and good deal Of active preliminary
work is being done in the interest OF
Governor White.
In an interview to-day Henry Water
son expressed himself as confident that
"there will be an easy time all around.
Cleveland's message and the Mills bill
will be endorsed OF course" A Column
bus, Ohio, dispatch reports an interview
with ex-senator Thurman, in which he
says positively that he is not a candidate
for the Vice Presidency, and that he
has no idea he will be rendered the

DENOUNCING CHURCH FAIRS.


The Reformed Prcsbyterian Synod In Sos-
sion Mt Pittsburgh.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, June 1.-The Re-
formed Presbyterian Synod met here to-
day. The Committee on Missions re-
ported that in their opinion the present
conditions did not justify an attempt to
work among the Indians on aH extern
ded scale, but recommended the ap-
pointment Of q missionary TO work
among the Indians and report at the
next Synod upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of
establishing an Industrial school. The
report was adopted.
The Committee on Presbyteries re-
ported membership Of l0,0O7 and l2l
congregations.
The Committee on Systematic Benef.
ccnce denounced church fairs and en-
tertainments in severe terms. The re.
port said, "thG tendency was altogether
bad, the giver satisfies his own con.
science as though he had been sacrificing
to the Lord, when, in fact, he was only
serving his own stomach. 1t is too much
like bringing the price OF dog or the
hire Of Il harlot rs an offering to God.
The committee closed by recommend.
ing that the treasurers OF the Synod re.
fuse all money rendered us the proceeds
OF immoral methods.
A lengthy and heated discussion fol-
lowed, and the report was finally return
ed to the committee for revision.

CLARKsDuRo, W. Va, June 1.-The
electric lights were turned on last even
ing, producing a remarkable transition
in the fact that the midnight darkness
which has hung over the town for the
last three months was totally dispelled'
Clarksburg is waking up. There seems
to be spirit prevalent to make the
town an attractive and enterprising one.
It now has daily paper and electric
lights, and water works will be con-
structed 'soon. A fine hotel and opera
house will be erected in the near future.
All these improvements are simply an
indication OF the fact that the citizens
are desirous OF contributing their share
to booming the State by first beginning
to make their town an attractive one. j.,
The political pot continues tc boil and
Harrison county will unquestionably
give handsome Republican majority.
The withdrawal Of Mr.. Blaine from the
Presidential contest has not discon-

cial from Bramwell, Mercer county, says
all the miners in the Bluestone district
went out on strike yesterday for tive
weeks pay, and, to add to the cxicte
ment, negro was arrested for disorder
ly conduct.
After the arrest it was rumored that
the whites would take him from the
guards and lynch him. At ten O'Clock
last night the town was thrown into 4
violent state of disturbance by about
one hundred negro miners marching to
Bluestone Inn, where the prisoner was
under guard, and demanding his release.
The guards did not surrender him and
the mob began firing on the building
with pistols, and general riot ensued
Several men were shot among the
rioters by members OF the mob the
whites had organized. At late hour
the mob has dispersed after several
were arrested. More trouble is ex.
pected, but, owing to the inaccessibility
Of the place, further particulars could

LOUISVILLE, KY, June John Vest,
living on the river road, two miles from
this city, has sworn out warrants against
John and William Sparks, charging
them with tearing down and hauling
away his residence while his family oc-
cupiedit.
Some months ago Vest bought the
property from the mother OF the Sparks
boys, for which, he alleges, he obtained
n good deed. The brothers, he says, OBJ.

that the mother had no right to dispose
OF the house.
On Thursday the Sparks boys, who
live across the river, crossed to the Ken
tucky side in ferry boat, and without
any previous notice to the owner Of the
property proceeded to tear down the
stable and remove it to the ierryboat.
When they appeared for the second load
Vest started to town for assistance.
When he returned he discovered that
the plunderers had torn off the doors
and shutters and even the ceiling, and
had rccrossCd to JetlcTsonville.

The official scorer at GAINESVILLE was

afternoon. He charges Wheeling with
four errors, which was the right figure,
but he fails to distribute them properly.
In his summary he shows that Morrison
gave three men bases ON balls, and yet
In the table he only charges him with
two errors. He gives Gray two errors.
Every one from here who saw the game
say that the only fielding error made was
by Otterson, who let ball go through
him. This and Morrison's three errors
make the four. The scorer confused
Gray with 0tterson and then gave him
an extra error for luck,
