Boston, May 1sth.-Edward Calcauby
the Boston agent for the big wine firm of
S. Lachman & Co., of San Francisco, was
arrested in New York last evening for en-
bezzlement. He was brought to Boston to-
day. His history is romantic. He is no
other that Count Edwardo Calcagni, a
member of one of the Oldest families of
Rome. Several years ago he met in the
Eternal City Miss Isabel E. Freddy, ta-
Tented young Boston girl, of prominent
family. He fell in love with her, and, with
no occupation or means, followed her here.
He brought reliable credentials, and was
admitted to the best society, being well re-
ceived by the Freedlys also. He declared
his passion to Isabel and was accepted
The parents were willing, but wished the
nuptials to be postponed until the Count
was settled in some business,
THE LOVERS COULDN'T WAIT.
This did not satisfy the lovers, and they
eloped to suburban town and were mar
ried. They were pursued, brought back,
forgiven, and were remarked at the cathe-
dral here. He was supported by the brides
ismlly until year ago, when he received
Lachman's agency. Since then the firm
state that he has sent them numerous large
orders, until he owes them several thou
sand dollars, but never has sent them s.
cent.
A few days sgo their manager appeared
here to investigate, and Calcauby, as he
now calls himself, disappeared. He was
traced to New York and arrested there by
Inspector Byrne, at the request of the Bos-
ton authorities. His aristocratic connec-
tons will doubtless make up his deficiency.

NOES anLn GROW.

The Nevada City Herald says il is .
well.known fact among scientists that
many stones, tin, silver, and other min.
erals grow, or add 10 their bulk and
weight. Il has been decided by those
who have given the subject much thought
that the growth or formation Of minerals
in the earth is directly due to electrical
currents passing through and acting
much after the fashion Of an electro
plating continuance, and that the process
is fast or slow, according to the amount
of mineral in the earth through which
the current passes, and the strength Of
the current itself. We find, from the
experience Of men who have travelled in
many lands, and through many mining
regions, that the gold found in different
parts Of the world varies in weight ac-
cording to the age to which the soil and
rock strata belong. In the auriferous
formations Of North Carolina. Georgia,
Colorado and New Mexico, the gold is
thin, light and foliated, while that found
in California, Australia and Africa is gen.
orally heavy and more or less bulky in
appearance, showing that the gold found
in North Carolina, Georgia, Colorado and
New Mexico has not the same age and
electrical influence as that Of the last
named district.
A few weeks ago parties who reside in
this city were making an examination Of
the old Sogg chute OF the Merri6eld mine,
and found in one Of the slopes Of the
abandoned upper works-which have not
been touched for a period Of twenty-five
years-a piece Of very rich quartz, which
had been broken in two with a hammer.
and laid upon the footwall, probably by
some employee who intended to carry it
away, but was prevented doing so. The
two sections were lying about half an
inch apart, upon a highly mineralized
clay. The fragments were carried to the
surface and washed, and an effort made
to join them together, when it was found
TO be impossible, the spurs of one piece
refusing TO re-enter the cavities to which
they corresponded in the other. these
cavities having partially filed with gold
since the fracture was made. In SOM
places a thin foliated finn of gold had
spread upon the surface Of the rock, but
the most noticeable formation was in the
holes and assures. When placed under
a powerful magnifying glass it could be
plainly seen that the two pieces were
originally one, and that a new formation
of gold had taken place, so that to join
them accurately again was impossible.
This quartz was laid, as before stated,
alone on a bed of clay, and this proves
that the gold-producing power is not
confined to the earth and rock alone, but
must exist in currents which are stronger
in some parts ot a mine than in others.
But the process of go~ld.growth is slow,
and it requires ages to become large
enough to make the formation in which
it exists Of value to the miner.

Death of an Old Californian.

Francis Blake, Of the San Francisco
firm of Blake, Mofitt & Towne, paper
merchants, died suddenly of heart dis
ease while out driving between Oakland
and San Leandro last Friday afternoon.
Francis Blake was another Of San Fran.
cisco's self-made men. He was born in
Maine in 1919, and when quite young
learned the printers trade. When gold
was discovered in California he came to
this Coast in the early part OF 1850. On
arrival he went to the mines, but becom-
ing disappointed he drifted back TO San
Francisco and began work again at the
printers case. He 500 after formed a
partnership with James Mofitt, and the
printing firm Of Blake 4 Mofhtt was one
Of the earliest establishments Of this ma
ture in the city. Later they engaged In
the paper business under the same firm
name, and shortly after they consolidated
with Robbins 4 Co., the new firm taking
the name Of Blake, Robbins Il Co. In
1885 the name of the firm was changed
to Blake, Mofitt & Towne, Mr.. Robbins

DOMINIC Her Clothes in Public.

The Omaha Herald says a remarkably
strange scene was enacted at the depot
opposite the broad gauge ticket window
recently. A party of Italians, consist.
ing Of four women, one Of whom was a
pretty young lady of 20 years, had come
off the boat. 1t was q wedding party,

was. she could not possibly meet her In.

slipped out Of the stream pouring from
the ferry, and gathering against the bulk.
head the young lady commenced to divest
herself Of her clothing. Regardless of
Of the crowd which soon collected, she
proceeded to strip herself until she was
standing in a state Of Eve.like simplicity.
Then she commenced to don her wedding
trousseau. This was soon accomplished,
and when the lady found herself COM
pletely arrayed for her nuptials, she
walked off with her party through the
laughing crowd, unmindful both Of the
laughter she excited, or that she had
done anything immodest or indecent.
She was, indeed. an exempliication Of
the saying. "Where ignorance is bliss,
It's folly to be wise"

DEMOCRATS AND PENSIONS.

There is a prevalent belief in some
quarters that the Democratic administra-
tion has not been as liberal in the en-
forcement Of the Pension laws as former
Republican administrations. This is a
gross mistake. The figures demonstrate
the very reverse. The Utica Observer
has been investigating the subject, and
concludes that the people in general, and
veteran soldiers in particular, have no
just reason to find fault with the Demo-
cratic management Of the Pension Office.
More money has been disbursed for PEN
sion purposes, and ii has been disbursed
more economically than under any other
administration of the department. Last
year the Treasury paid out nearly $751;
900. 600 on pension account. There were
at the close Of the fiscal year 400, 900
pensioners, nearly $1,000 of whom were
added during the year. The estimates
for the next fiscal year amount to $780,
900, 900. In 1884, under the Republican
regime, the disbursements were S57, l03,-
395; the expenses 1896, 430, or s. 10 per
1900. Last year the disbursements
were s73, 40. OBS; the expenses but SPAS.
$50, or S4S. 900 less than it cost in 1854
to disburse SIG, 1886. 900 less money. The
cost per 1000 was only 50 3S, a reduc-
tion in expense Of nearly IS per cent
over the last year of Republican admin
istration. The original certificates is

cedented in any single year, and for the
first four months Of the present fiscal
year the increase has been 6,S73 in ex-
cess of the corresponding period last year.
This record speaks for itself. The vete.
ran soldiers especially have reason to re.
joice over the fact that there is neither
waste nor ineficiency in the hands of the
millions reserved for their benefit.

AN ASSURED FACT.
The Los Angeles and salt Lake Rail
road 20 be Constructed.


So much has been said about the build.
ing Of a road from Salt Lake City to Los
Angeles that it is = relief, says the San
Francisco Examiner, to be able to give
some tangible data about the project.
Alexander Badlam, q San Francisco pro-
moter Of the scheme, has been inter.
viewed by q reporter Of that paper, and
this is what he said:
II can state definitely that a new rail.
road from Salt Lake City right into Los
Angeles is now an assured fact. 1t is not
going TO be a continuation Of Utah Cen
trail Railroad that runs from Provo City
ON the Denver and Rio Grande road to
San Francisco in Southwestern Utah. Ii
will be an independent line. In a gene
raj way it can be said that 1t will run
from Salt Lake City west, along the
southern shore Of the Great Salt Lake,
and then southwest in Utah, very close
to the Nevada State line, for q consider.
able distance. The Nevada State line
will then be crossed, and the line will
run southwest through Nevada to the
south Of the Meadow Valley range. On
entering California the Calico mining
district will be pierced, and the Atlantic
and Pacific road will be crossed at Bars
tow. From that point the line will con.
tinue southwest through the Arroyo Seco
canyon, back to Pasadena, and thence
through the latter town to Los Angeles.
The whole length Of the road will be GAL
miles. At a point north of the Calico
mining distriet Q branch will be built
over the Mojave, which will make the
distance from Salt Lake City to Mojave

THE ADvANoE IN LEAD

II is stated that it is a French syndi.
cate, with headquarters in Paris, that is
responsible not only for the rise in cop.
per, but that in lead and tin also.
Whatever may be the cause, the result
is very gratifying to the owners of mines
of those metals. 1t is known that French
buyers have secured all the marketable
lead in Europe, and are now turning their
attention to this country. A New York
journal says; Although lead is produced
largely in the United States, the mines
cannot meet the demand for home con-
sumption. Manufacturers Of lead pipe,
sheet lead, shot and lead paints have re-
quired so much that it was found neces-
sary to import the metal, even with a 81
duty upon 1t. Over q thousand tons have
been bought up and exported for the
French account. and the shortage Is ex.
pected to affect the market seriously
should the foreigners continue to buy.
1t is known that small lots have been
quietly bought up in England, Spain and
other European markets until these are
depleted of all visible supply. Brokers
say it will not require an extraordinarily
large capital to secure all the lead in
sight. and there is no knowing how far
this French syndicate may go. 1t is now
suspected that copper and lead may be
wanted to prepare France for war, and
that the tin purchases are merely to cover
up that design under the guise Of a bust.
ness speculation. Should this be the
case, the demand for lead may be even
larger e year. Holders of lead are,
therefore. looking forward to extravagant
prices within a short time.
While California does not produce very
much lead. there is a lage production in
Utah, Nevada and Idaho, on this coast,
and the miners will be glad TO see an
advance. For a long period there has
been a depression in the price Of this
metal. 1t is now quoted at about five
cents per pound in New York, and five
and seven.twelfths for deliveries in Jan.
uary, February and March.-S. +. Min.
