Left to Perish in a Lonely Cabin.

CHICAGO, Sept. Ga special from st. Angus
tine, Fla, says letter has been received in this
city, disclosing terrible state of affairs in the
,wn Of Bayard. small settlement on the line
OF the Jacksonville g. st. Augustine railroad,
about twenty miles north of hero. William Ort-
gus, the son Of farmer living at Sampson,
about FIVE miles from Bayard, had occasion to
visit the latter place. On nearing the settle
msnt he was attracted by strong stcnch en-
anating from the vicinity Of a house supposed to
be vacant Through curiosity no hitched his
horse and proceeded TO investigate. On reach
ing the house a ghastly spectacle met his eyes.
Stretched upon q couch was the body OF o wom
an. and In the same room were the bodies of
five children. They bad evidently been dead for
several days. The boy, on realizing the horror
Of the scene. fed precipitatey and mounting his
horse. rode back to his home and told the start
ling story to his parents AS St Augustine is
strictly Quarantined against Bayard and that
vicinity. the news did not reach here until
several days after tho occurrence. The coun-
try people are horror stricken, and even If it
were known that any one was occupying the
house IL is unlikely that any one of them could
have been induced to GO near it If he knew this
was a case of yellow fever. II is supposed that
the unfortunates were refugees from Jackson
Vile. and were stricken with the disease after
leAying town.

1t Would BE . Little Awkward.

WASHINGTON, Sept Git will be partic-

Official to reporter. today, 'if We should learn
that the Chinese treaty has not been rejected,
after all. There has been nothing official heard,
and even Minister DENLY says that he has no
positive information to the effect that the treaty
has ever been rejected. All that has been
received Is an unofficial, unauthorita-
tive dispatch from London, and it
IS very slight thread which
to hang such radical legislation as that OF the
Scott bill. can see Why it may be forced to its
passage, for in view OF coming events. neither
political party wants to object TO such an act,
thereby jeopsrdizing some hopes OF success.
China would have good cause to complain il the
report OF the rejection OF the treaty should
prove false and the bill should become law.
notwithstanding the fact that II might be agreed
that the bill was su entirely domestic matter.

Wednesday,:
Ice on the track threw coach off at the

The Candelaria mill was obliged to close
for a few days owing to the water pipes freez
ing up.
The lessees of the Lapanta are working a

mine is about to change hands and be worked
by the Candelaria Company.

The Candelaria mill is running twenty

of ore has been developed in the east drift
from the second shaft level. The face is
three feet wide and Of good quality. The
first level and the intermediate levels be-

DAMMING THE COLORADO.
A Scheme to Irrigate Lands I'm Ari.
z0na and California.

The Colorado River Canal Company have
filed their articles Of incorporation, and are
preparing for business. The dam to be built
across the Colorado river is at point about
twenty five miles above Yuma. The dam
will raise the water about fifteen feet, and
water taken out int tive canals, one in Yu.
ma county and the other in San Diego. The
object in damming the river is to have suf-
ficient head that the canals can at any time
rid themselves of the mud in the bottom OF
the waterways; the main difficulty in ditch
ing the Colorado has always been to get rid
Of the sediment; this plan will undoubtedly
be successful, and the water-supply being
boundless, there can be no limit to the ca
liabilities Of this grand enterprise. Con-
gress will be asked to grant the company a
franchise, and Immediately upon obtaining
the right work will be inaugurated. The
waters Of the Colorado will be used not only
in Arizona, but also in irrigating that mag
nihcent piece of country which extends to
new water, Cal. AT oteVenSon'S lSlano
| the head Of the Arizona Canal will be taken
out and the life-giving liquid will be carried
over the thousands Of acres Of land unit
the ella river is reached, when the water
will be Aumed across the ella and carried tc
the magnificent lands below clear to the
Mexican line, and perhaps on to the lovely
fields of Sonora itself The canal will be a
success, and through its agency will develop
this country into veritable land OF oriental
wealth and solid prosperity. As stated be-
fore, the only difficulty heretofore found in
taking out irrigating canals from the Colora-
do has been the trouble in managing the
sediment, and this will he overcome by the
plaa proposed by the canal company. The
canals will irrisate some 100000 acres OF
| as fine land as the sun shines on-land which
| will produce wealth enough for nation Of
people and build up immense communities
of intelligent and prosperous citizens.-Yn-
