Reads Like a Fairy Tale.

ASPEN, COL, Oct. 19-The Aspen Mine,
which has been the scene Of so many sem
sational discoveries, has come to the front
with another. Wednesday night a cave
was struck thirty feet long and seventy
feet high. Lying on the wall is a bed Of
ore seven feet thick and enormously rich.
Some OF it runs as high as 1000 ounces and
it will all average several hundred ounces.
At the far end of the cave is crevice run
ming across the formation. This is of an
unknown depth Manager Paul attempted
to get some idea of its depth by timing the
fall of stones in it, but the stones kept on
falling until the noise of their striking
against the sides grew too indistinct to be
noted. The watch showed that after four
teen seconds they were still going down.

wHITEcHAPEL MURDERER
Sends One OF His Pursuers Fried kidney
OF Woman.


LONDON, Oct 1s.--The mass Of absurd
theories, false clews and unlimited arrests
OF wrong men, which have almost turned
pursuit Of the Whitechapel murderer into
a burlesque, was relieved tonight by
genuine sensation. George Lusk, a builder,
is the head Of the Whitechnpel Vigilance
Committee. Late Tuesday night the parcel
post delivered and lett a box at his house.
Upon opening it he discovered a meaty
substance which smelt very strongly, and
which he judged TO be half kidney be-
longing to some animal. Inclosed in tho
box was the following letter: 81 send you
half the kidney took from one woman.
preserved 1t for you. T'other piece
fried and ate. 1t was very nice.
may send you the bloody knife that took
II out II you only whit while longer"
Lusk at first regarded it as a joke, but, re-
membering that the left kidney was taken
from Eddowes, the Mitre Square victim,
he took the box to London Hospital. DIR.
Openshaw examined 1t yesterday and said
II was certainly half left kidney OF a
full-grown woman, divided longitudinally.
To-day the box and letter were taken to
Scotland Yard, and detectives are trying
to find out what postal district parcel de-
liyered it. The handwriting Of the letter
in the box bore no resemblance to the
handwriting OF letters from Jack, tho
Ripper, some weeks ago.

Singular Effect OF the Bite of a Rather
on Young Colored Boy.
BIRluSGHAM, ALA, Oct 21-Jerry Dar-
gin, a fys-year- colored boy, while
playing in tho yard four months ago, was
bitten by small reptile known as a
ground rattlesnake. The boy seemed se
riously affected by the bite, but finally
improved, and was soon able to run about
the yard. Recently be began to show
signs of a peculiar ailment. Every time
he gets out in the yard he lies down with
his face to the ground and crawls along,
trying TO initiate the motions Of a
snake. When left alone he will crawl
along on the ground until ho finds some
place where he can conceal himself, and
there he will remain in hiding until his
parents find him. When angered the boy
does not cry, as he formerly did. but
makes peculiar kissing noise similar TO
the hiss of an angry snake. The veins in
his neck, face and forehead swell to
enormous Dimensions at such times, his
eyes assume greenish hue, and remain
that color until he recovers from the at

A BUNoLER's DISCOVERY.
Method OF Making wood Absolutely Fire-
proof

ITHACA. n. Y, Oct 17.-In the course Of
conversation at Cornell University satur-
day, Edward Atkinson. the Boston econ
omlst stated that New England genius
had recently discovered cheap method
OF dissolving zine by combining II with
hydrogen and producing solution called
zinc water, This liquid, IL applied to cer-
tain woods. notably white wood, makes
II absolutely 6reproof and at low cost
hIr. Atkinson regards this discovery one
OF the most Important OF the age, and one
that will surely rcvolutioniEe fire insur-
ance as well as immensely decrease the
loss by fire. The invention is kept secret
for the present Only one foreigncr--Sir
Lyon Playfair, tho English scientist
knows OF II. Hc corroborates all that is
claimed for the invention, and says that
tho inventor il bungling chemist but
that he has the faculty OF blundering Into
the choicest secrets in natures laboratory.
As soon ms patents are perfected and
capital interested, zinc water will become
an article of commerce.

PAYMASTER AMBUSHED.
Caught in a Lonely Ravine With .
Large Sum Of Money,
When the Shots of the Assassin Do Their
Deadly work-Pursuers Search
Ing With Rope In Hand.

:
WnKEsBARRE, PA, Oct. 19 The Lehigh
Valley railroad is building branch road
which leads near Miners Mills, and in
the construction Contractor McMadden
has under him Italian workmen Of the
roughest class, and near the Mills a dou-
BILE murder has been committed. The
spot where the murder took place Is in
the center of wild and lonely district,
and tho thickly wooded hills afford an
almost impenetrable shelter for the as
sassins. j.. b. Mcclure, Contractor Nc
Madden's paymaster, was on his way to
pay off the men when the crime was COM
mitted. Only single narrow road, bor-
dered by oyerhanging trees, leads from
the little village Of Miners to the place
where the men were at work. Paymaster
Mcclure carried $25 900 with him in three
bngs. He was accompanied by Alexander
McQueens, who acted as body guard
Both men were well armed and had
no thought of any special danger.
just as they had turned bend
in the road well-aimed shot came
whistling from an ambush among the trees
and Mcclure fell from his horse. The
body guard, startled by the suddenness of
the attack, hesitated moment, and the
delay, though only momentary, was long
enough to give the concealed assassins
the advantage they needed Three more
shots completed the deadly work. One
sent poor McQueens headlong from his
plunging horse, and the others killed
the horses. The whole affair must
have been accomplished so quickly
and dexterously that the men had
no time to defend themselves. The money
is gone. Paymaster Mcclure and Nc
Queens were young Irishmen, and were
very well and favorably known in Wilkes
barre. Mcclure was engaged to a young
lady Of this city, and was to have been
married a week from next Tuesday. The
men who are hunting the murderers are

TOO HoMELY TO LIVE.
Distressing Suicide of Kansas City wo-
man of Twenty-seyen


KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Oct. 1s-Julia Beck
Of this city, good-looking, bright ad-
mired by many and well-to-do, thought
that sho was too homely to live, and COM
mitted suicide yesterday by taking three
quarters Of a pound OF chloroform. She
was twenty-seven years old, and ever
since she was seventeen she had imagined
herself so ugly as TO cause comments
whenever she appeared in pub
lie. She rejected several offers
OF marriage on this account, telling
her admirers that she could not disgrace
any man. Recently she had begun to try
TO improve Ter imagined ill-looks in many
ways, and about week ago she had all her
teeth pulled out, though they were sound
and white and not very irregular, in order
TO improve her mouth. Many of her
friends had tried TO disabuse her ON the
strange idea, but each effort in that direc-
tion made her insanely angry. In a letter
she left her mother she said she was tired
Of her homely face, and had lost all inter-
terest in her new teeth.

THE JUNE PLANETS. Mercury is even.
ing star. and takes the lead among the
planets on the June record, being in the best
condition for observation with the naked
eye that will occur during the year, He
sets nearly two hours after the Gun on the
18th, when he arrives at his most distant
point east from the sun, and must then be
! looked for in the northwest, forming tri
| angle with Pollux and Procyon, the planet
being west of tbe stars. Mercury will be
visible for week before and after his great
est elongation, which occurs on the 18th.
Jupiter is evening star. He reigns through
the month of June without rival, and is
one of the chief attractions of the starlit sky
during this beautiful summer month, when
the pure atmosphere and the mild tempera-
| ture invite observers to raise their eyes as
we'll as their thoughts to the star spaDgled
armament.
Mars is evening star. He s losing bis
ruddy hue and decreasing in size as he re-
cedes from the earth, and will soon become
a comparatively significant star. He
has changed his course, is now NOV
ing eastward and will continue to travel
in direct course until the end of the
year. The oppositions when Mars and the
earth are at the nearest point to each other
are separated by the long interval of fifteen
years. The completion of this cycle will
take place in 1892. Mars will then be four
times as bright as he is in opposilioDs when
the two planets are farthest apart.
Uranus and Saturn are evening stars, but
no event of interest marks their progress
during the month
Venus is morning star. and entirely hid
den in the suns rays rising about ten min.
utes before him at the end of the month.
Neptune is morning star He also is very
close to the sun and in his progress west.
ward meets Venus moving eastward.
Mercury, Saturn, Mars, Uranus and Jupi
ter are evening atars at the close of the
month. Venus and Neptune are morning
stars.
The June moon fulls on the 23d at 4b. I'm.
p. m. She is at her nearest point to Mer-
curry on the 11th, and as Mercury ia then
visible to the naked eye the slender cres.
cent will be guide to his position.
