For several days there has been a gather.
ing of stockmen hereabouts preparatory
to a spring round up. The upper round
up for Garfield county starts in to morrow
from Carbonate and takes in Crystal river
and Cattle creek. The main round up
for Northwestern Colorado meets on
Green river, heal the west line of the
state, on the 18th and works east. An
other party mee-s on the White river at
tho same date, The recent rains have
made the feed on the range soft, though
the indications are that the recent bright,
clear weather will hold for some time.
This will make the trails and hills dry, so
that horses and men can work advantage.

1t is the prevailing opinion that the
hearts Of the cattlemen will rejoice over
the results of the round up this spring.
that the critters will answer present"
with robust and lusty voices, that there
will be but a small per cent that will fail
to respond to the call, and that the calf
crop will be large.

ST. PAUL, May 14.-John F. Wilkins,
who recently gained much notOriety
through having seven wives, all living,
will come before the public again soon in
a very racy civil suit. He is now living
with wife No. >, nee StetsOn. The first
Mrs. Wilkins, now divorced, has brought
action against the present Mrs. Wilkins,
who is wealthy, for $4,000, for having
alienated Johns affections by her seduc-
tive ways. The answer is to the effect
that the wiles were all on the side of John;
that she married him believing him single,
and that since the marriage she has en-
tirely supported him. While he was in
jail in st. Paul and engaged in ~staving off
his lawful wife, he was writing love let
ters to the Stetson woman, who was in
Minneapolis, and also to a st. Paul
widow. When he was released he Joined
Miss Stetson and finally married her.
Wife No. ! nov is trying to get her re-
venge by securing some of the Stetson
cash. The singular part of the affair is
that Viking objects to his present wife
defending the action. 1t is asserted that
he has a definite object in view, and that
he and the first wife understand each
other. The letters written by him in Jail,
which are of the raciest possible charac.
ter, will be introduced in evidence.

DERBY DAY.
Macbeth Wins the Great Race
by a Length.
His Owner Winner of the Snug
Sum of $4,000.
Fishermen Manned by the Elk
plosion of Cartridges.
Kentucky Derby.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May Macbeth
won the Derby by a length, Gallifet sec
ond and White third. Time, 2:3SI.
After n false start Chevalier (Lewis)
got off first, the others well up. Coming
into the stretch out of the chute Col. Zeb
Ward led by two lengths, Alexandria sec
ond, Chevalier third, Macbeth fourth,
Gallifet fifth and Autocrat sixth. Pass
ing the stand, Alexandria was in the lead,
Gallifet second, Chevalier third, and the
rest punched. Up the stretch Zeb Ward
dropped way back, Gallifet followed with
a gap of two lengths, and Macbeth, Chev-
aller, White, Autocrat and Alexandria in
the order named. Rounding into the
stretch Macbeth moved forward, taking
the lead, Covington handling him beauti-
fully. McCarty on Gallifet was second
and whipping hard, White third. The
rest were strung out. Time, 2:3S4.
Macbeth easily retained first place to
the wire, passing under first by a full
length, without a touch of the whip,
looking ready to do another quarter. Gal
lifet was second and working hard and
badly pumped out, a length and a quarter
in front of White. The others were full
three lengths behind. Whithers rode
White. Macbeth is a magnificent look
ing brown gelding, and won this great
race In a style that places him up with
the very best in the land. 1t was stated
after the race that Hankins, his owner,
had won $4,000. 1t was a great victory
for the Chicago stables, as, after consider
alton, it is rather astonishing that odds of
s to | were ohtainable against him, look
ing at his tirst-class performances in the
South. Macbeth started frequently as n
2 year old, doing most of his running at
Louisville and Latonia. At the latter
place, in the fall, he won the Kimball
stakes, three quarters of a mile. Beyond
this his performance attracted but little
attention until this year, when his win
ming the one and one eighth mile haudi-
cap at Memphis in 1851, with White
Nose second, and Panama third, and sub
s~equently the Gayoso Hotel stakes from
Long Chance and Frederick brought him
into prominence as a Derby candidate. He
ran second in the Merchant stakes at
Memphis, Little Munich winning in 2:Olt.
He was beaten at Nashville in the Trou-
bador stakes by Cruiser. Emperor of Nor
folk and Valante, and also by Leo II. in
another race at the same place. Poteen
beat him at Lexington in the Distilleries
stakes, he running second, and the time
being 2:0S. He ran second in the Phoenix
Hotel stakes.
White started six or eight times as a .
year old, running second a number of
times in only ordinary fields and not win
ming or doing anything worthy of note.
He ran second to the Emperor of Norfolk
in the Lawyers stakes the first part OF
this month, Cruiser being third. The dis.
lance was one and one quarter miles and
time 2:091.

Whipping Post and PiIlory.

NEWCASTLE. Del, May 14.-The quar-
terly whipping of c~onvicts took place here
Saturday morning in a drizzling rain.
Five men were lashed and two stood in
the pillory for an hour. The number of
persons present was about one hundred,
half Of them being boys under IL years.
Owen Dougherty, aged Is (white), was
first whipped. He received five blows for
stealing, with two of his brothers, a quaint
ity of rubber hose. His back was the
color of a lobster when he was returned to
his cell. His brother Patrick, aged "a,
followed, and received the same punish
ment. He laughed as the sheriff Redeemed
his back, and left the post with a grin.
James Murray, aged Is, a sorry looking
darby. laughed also as the sheriff gave
him five lashes for stealing 500 2 cent
cigars. james Darius, a gray-bearded
darky, was given five cuts for stealing a
set of harness worth 5000. He never
finched as the thongs hit his back, and
when through ran nimbly back into the
Jail. The fifth victim was John Pierce, a
slim white man of 80. who took twenty
lashes for burglary. He did not move
from his position, but his legs quivered
violently. The sheriff whipped gently.
Pierce and Henry l.. Haines (white), con-
victed of swindling grocers, were then
placed in the pillory for one hour. The
atmosphere was close, and the men, who
were covered with blankets, were soaked
wet from perspira ion and the heavy driz-
zle. When taken to their cells they were
so stiff that they could scarcely stand.

A New York Mystery.

New York, May l4.-Jessie Girls
void, a pretty young girl of Sacramento,
who has been boarding in the family of
William McLachlan, 1877 West Sixteenth
street, has mysteriously disappeared and
it is believed she has committed suicide.
Jessie has a most remarkable history. As
the story goes here, she was born of
wealthy parents, reared in luxury and at
an early age became infatuated with a
mar many years her senior. She went
with him from sacramento to Baltimore,
but the lover proved unfaithful. She
came to New York, and being an expert
with a pen she secured work as a copyist.
but soon became a victim to the morphine
habit. A week ago she vent to Baltimore
to visit a man who paid her frequent
visits during her stay at McLachlan's.
She returned on Thursday night and told
Mrs. McLachlan that she intended to
commit suicide. She went to a hotel,
where she was arrested, but said she told
Mrs. McLachlan an untrue story and was
discharged. She disappeared again. The
officials were greatly in error, as they now
admit, in releasing the girl, as she was
not master of her own actions and had
not been in the past eight or nine years.
A thorough search since has failed to find
her.
McLachlan talked at length of Jessie's
accomplishments to-day. His wife said
she had not quarreled with the girl, who,
she said, was sweet and kind. jessie
gave her. some flowers the day she went
away and told her, with tears in her eyes,
to keep them in remembrance of the poor
broken hearted girl, who had been desert
ed by all whom she had ever loved. Her
friends think she is dead.

OIL Cry, Pa, May l4.-The oil fire
is now believed to be under control. The
great overflow, watched for with so much
terror, occurred shortly before . O'Clock
this morning. The tank vomited its
flames and contents and huge islands Of
burning oil, some of them 100 feet in di.
ameter, floated down the creeks. Blooms
proved useless and the fierce mass of fire
swept on, burning several dwellings, the
Western New York & Pennsylvania rail-
road bridge and a large barrel factory.
Loss estimated at $3.50, 900. There was
very little sleep in the city last night, as it
was feared the town would be DESTROYED.
The fire has burned itself out, and the
danger is passed. The first reports were
greatly exaggerated and the loss will not
exceed 500, 900.

Against the Government

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE supreme
court rendered a decision in the case of
the United States, appellant, VS.. Nc
Laughlin ct al, from the Circuit Court of
the United States for the northern dis
trIct of California. The suit was brought
in this case by the government against the
Central Pacific Railway company and Nc
Laughlin ct al, as holders of patents for
lands lying along the route of the railroad
between Stockton and Sacramento and
claimed to be part of the grant to the
railroad company. The government
claims the patents were issued for this
land as railroad land by mistake. The
mistake was that the land was within the
exterior boundaries of the Mexican grant
known as Moquelokmas grant, which
formed the basis of the contest. The
railroad company contended that the east
ern boundary was only intended to go to
the foothills. which would make the terri
tory described contain nearly twice the
amount granted. Grants of that kind,
it was explained, of certain quantities to
be located In larger area are called floating
grants. The government contended that
the lands within the exterior boundaries
OF this grant were reserved from sale
or other disposition, being under exami-
nation in the courts, and that the railroad
grants did not take effect at any point
within the exterior limits of this
Mexican grant, the railroad having been
located across the grant. This was true
with regard to public reservations of
lands, such as Indian or military reserva-
tions. 1t was also true with regard to
Mexican grants of specific lands while
they we're under examination, but the
company commended hat floating grants
were not subject to this, and hence OBJ
tanned patents to the land in dispute.
The court decided that the eastern
boundary of the Mexican grant was as
the railroad company claimed it to be, and
therefore most of the lands were outside
of its exterior limits, and as to them the
patent was valid. Second, that the law
of reservation did not apply to floating
grants further than to satisfy the quantity
granted, and therefore the remaining
lands in dispute were also free, and the
patent was good as to them also. The
decree of the court is affirmed, and it is
further ordered that this decree be en-
tered nunc pro tune as of October 10.
The cases II and ~ involved the same
points as those set forth in the above and
were decided similarly.
Justice Miller announced the following
order: 1t is now ordered by the court
that all cases on the docket not decided,
and all other business of the term not dis
posed of by the court, be and the same is
hereby continued until next term of court.

Whipping a Negro and Paramour

COLUMBIA, S. c., May l4.-In CLASSY
Mountain Section, G~reenyille county, a
negro named Elias Linden took a white
woman to live with him. The white men
in the vicinity warned Linden to send the
woman away, but he refused to do so.
On Tuesday night a mob of thirty white
men, among them three brothers of the
woman, attacked Linden's house. The
negro and the white woman were dragged
out into the woods, their clothing stripped
off them, and both were fearfully beaten
over the head and body with whips and
sticks. When left in the woods Linden
was supposed to be dead. He was found
alive the next day, and colored people
took him to Greenville. Some of the
men were recognized and will be arrested.
