W. B. Jelly, ex-reeve Of Amaranth,
who lives on lot No. 0, con. 2. was last
summer engaged in scooping out q
watering place for his cattle in a wet
corner of his farm, and while excavat-
ing he unearthed the ribs Of an animal,
which were Of such large size that they
startled him. He resolved to prosecute
his work next day, but during the night
It rained 80 heavily that he was unable
to dig for any more Of the remains OF
the animal.
He exhibited the ribs a couple of weeks
ago to Mr.. John Jelly, Of Shelburne, the
result being that this gentleman's Curl
osity was so much aroused that he hired
men to resume the search for the re-
naming parts of what he believed to be
an antediluvian animal Mr.. Jelly, as
sisted by David Hoey and John Ander-
son, few days ago began operations,
After digging for awhile they exhumed
other bones, consisting Of ribs and ver-
zebra. These relics told their own tale.
Some Of the ribs are four feet long,
and the component parts Of the back
bone are in proportion to the weight
and size of the framework of the body.
Mr.. Jelly, with the eye Of an archaol-
ogist, prosecuted his search with vigor,
and in few days was delighted by the
unearthing Of one of the horns of the
mammoth. The enormous size of the
antediluvian animal can be estimated
from the size and weight of the immense
horn or tusk.
At the butt it is eight inches in diam
eter, and the part secured is twelve feet
eight inches in length. Unfortunately
the workmen could not locate the tip OF
the horn; but competent scientists who
viewed the remains say that it extended
fourteen feet. The horn was broken in
three pieces, and had to be removed in
parts, one of which required the strength
of two men to elevate to a wagon. The
middle piece itself measured eight feet
and looks more like log of wood thar
the undoubted horn of an animal.
The work of excavation is still going
on, and daily ribs and portions of thu
vertebr@ are being dug up. The soil is
black muck, from two to three feet il
depth, and under this is a layer of whit
mari, descending to depth in some case
of two feet, and in others of three anS
four feet. Underneath the stratum is
bed of black sand. In the mari are II
be seen shells, indicating that the mann
moth must have perished when tn
country was covered with water or sub
jected to the glacial invasion.-Toront

Dona Christina has begun at Aranjuez
to initiate her son in his royal duties,
taking him often to see an institution
founded by the late king-an asylum for
the orphans of officers and non-commis-
stoned officers who have died in service.
The crown gave up one of the largest
buildings on the royal domain for this
asylum, where several hundred orphans
of both sexes are brought up at the ex-
pense of the state and with money con-
tributed by the royal family and by
officers of every branch of the service.
The boys are trained for the army, navy
or some profession. The girls are edu-
Gated to become teachers or governesses.
The widowed queen feels kindly for
these children, whose fathers are lying
on the hillsides of north and central
Spain or in the jungles of Cuba. On
her first visit we are told that she said
to her son: "You must love them and be
good to them, because they are like you
they have no father here; their fathers,
too. are in heaven. Cape Town Argus.

CURED over two months ago a strange
disturbance Of nature. It was confined
to strip of land running east and west
and being $50 yards in length and be-
tween 80 and so yards in width. On
that limited area the ground shows the
mark. of some mighty convulsion.
Stumps were forced asunder, rocks were
split and huge roots torn in twain. Fis-

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 6.-Ad-
vices from Honolulu by the steamer
Australia to-day state that the British
man-of-war Espiregle returned there
August %, after an absence Of a month.
She had visited Humphrey s Island and
Rierson Island and annexed both of
them to the British dominons. The
islands are twenty miles apart and are
supposed to be on the route of one of the
projected transparency cables.
While at Humphreys Island the
EspiregIe took on board twenty of
the British ship CASTOR from
Sydney to San Francisco, which was
wrecked near Starbuck Island July 81.
The officers and crew, in three boats,
kept near the ship for a day or two,
but finding she could not be saved they
attempted to go ashore but could find
no place where it was possible to land.
A boat containing Capt. Pye and eight
of the crew was lost sight of and has
not been seen since. The remainder of
the men entered one boat and kept in a
southerly direction for ten days when
they reached Humphrey Island in an
exhausted condition.

What Else Was Expected9


Oil Inspector Brown is sharply criti-
cised by the newspapers for constituting
the oil inspection law so as to exact fees
for handling oil already submitted to
tests in other states. In the first place,
if is suggested that the attorney general
alone is charged with the duty of con-
strung the meaning of all laws until
they may be formally passed on by the
courts. In the second place, Mr.. Brown
takes occasion to annul very plain pro-
vision of the law by declaring it to be
meaningless, - when its language is
specifically plain to any ordinary in
teIlect precisely the reverse meaning
given to if by Mr.. Brown, and his con-
struction being in his own interest makes
the case doubly suspicious. A more use
less law, imposing a foolish tax on all
classes of people, never before got on
the tatute books Of any state. Senator
Kimbrough, who is also editor of the
Texas Musquiter, said recently in his pa
per. 1.-The people seem to have the ali
there on the Twenty first legislature for
passing the oil inspection law. Alexan-
der Pope of Marshall is the author of the
bill We don't know bow we voted on
the bill, but if we voted for it we are
ashamed of it. That's all.

FOLLOWING HIS FATE.
An Unsuccessful SuitOr Dogs His Rival and
Meets His Death.


DENVER, COL, Sept. 6.-At an early
hour this morning Timothy Stocking, a
faro dealer in the Arcade, a gambling
hall, shot and instantly killed Billy Muir
phy, an ex-convict from the Joliet, Ill.
penitentiary. The story leading up to
the murder is something of a romance.
In 1888 Miss Williams, beautiful
young girl, came to Chicago. from a
small town in Wisconsin to visit friends.
Shortly after her arrival she met Billy
Murphy, 8 plumber, who fell madly
in love with her. The lady
did not return his attentions, and
soon atterward met and married
Timothy Stocking, a member of Pember-
ton S force Murphy took to drink, and
a couple of months after the wedding
was caught attempting to burglarize a
residence, and was sentenced to i've
years imprisonment. Stocking being
the principal witness for the prosecution,
Murphy swOre he would kill both Stock
ing and his wife as soon as ne
could gain his liberty. After
his release he followed the couple
over the country, finally locating
them in Denver. He came here couple
of months ago, and meeting Mrs. Stock
ing on the street nearly frightened her to
death by his threats against herself and
her husband. Stocking, however, ap-
peared to pay but little attention to the
threats, and laughed at them whenever
his wife spoke about the matter. The
police had been notified of
the state of affairs, and had
repeatedly driven Murphy from
Stockings premises where he had been
found skuIking around at all hours OF the
night. About l O'Clock this morning
Stocking was awakened by some one
knocking at his front door, and going to
the entrance he asked who was there, and
| being informed that it was Billy Murphy
Stocking looked between the blinds and
saw a man with a huge knife. Stocking
picked up shot gun and shot
its contents into Murphy S face and neck &,
literally tearing them to pieces. Muir
| ply staggered out of the gate and fell
on the sidewalk a corpse. Stocking was
arrested and locked up in the Central
| station The deceased has father li7-
| ing on Blue Island avenue, Chicago, and
| q cousin and brother in the same city, all
| of whom are quite wealthy and intuen-
| tiaI citizens
