PETRIFIED BODIES,
A Find In Colorado of Great Interest to
Scientists.

From the Denver Times.
A most remarkable story comes from Aspen
Col, regarding an unexpected find in one of
the pincIpal mines on the Aspen mountain
Last Thursday, as the story goes, the night
shift in the Minnie Mine put in 32-inch holes in
the breast of the 500-foot level and fred the
blast just before leaving for the surface. On
returning to the mine 1t was found that the two
shots had broken into o cave, the extent of
which they proceeded to explore. Going in a
few feet, they found the walls covered with
erystallized lime and lead that glittered like
hung from the ceiling. The lime formation re-
sembled lace and frieze work of wondrous
beauty. The cave has descen mt of about twenty
degrees, and then formed rooms and chambers
grand beyond description. The men had en-
tered about two hundred feet when they found
flint axe. little further was pool of fresh
water and a strong current o. fresh air was felt.
Further on a chamber was discovered covered
with a brownish muck that was sticky. A man
who was in the lead suddenly stopped and said
There sits boy. Sure enough there sat
human form. The head was resting on the
legs, Indian fashion. A stone bowl and axe
well preserved, but in trying to lift it one arm
broke of. Other bodies in different attitudes
were found III the chamber, but when disturbed
they crumbled One body of E man was brought
out with the loss of arms and feet. The dis
eoyery has caused great excitement in Aspen.

Old Confederate Guns.

From the Albuquerque Daily Argus.
Last Friday Capt Jack Crawford and Mai.
L. L. Teel arrived in this city for the purpose
Of having Maj. Teel locate the place where he
had buried some cannon in April, 1862, At that
time Albuquerque was in the possession of the
confederates and Teel's battery was part Of
Gen. Sibley's command. To prevent the can
non from falling into the hands of the Union
forces Maj. Teel and some of his officers bur-
led the cannon at dead of night The common
soldiers knew nothing Of it. The other off,
GERS have since died or were killed, and Mai
Teel alone knew the spot where the cannon
were buried He pointed out the spot and
went on his way to Ell Paso. Today the dig
ginng was commenced. and but few feet from
whore he indicated the cannon were found.
Eight were unearthed and it is supposed
others will be found. They were six
feet deep, and when taken out, after
twenty-seven years burial, were as bright
as on the day they were buried. They quickly
turned black on exposure. They are twelve
pound brass howitzers, stamped U. s., show
ing that they had been captured from Uncle
Sam, and bear the mark of the manufacturers.

were part of the McCres battery captured at

A Fierce Struggle with Burglars,

Quite q sensation was caused in Baltimore
yesterday by the publication Of graphic ac-
counts of an alleged attempt at robbery at

his aim was not true. One fed and with the

Her Charms Are Fading,


1t is not SO very long ago that Boston was a
summer thoroughfare for southern and western
tourists, and our August dullness was enlivened
by focks OF strangers seeking the sea breezes of
Maine resorts, not to mention those along this
shore They came and went like birds of pas
sage, fitting from one railroad station to an
other, or stopping over" to view the city and
gather strength for the next days journey.
The streets were less dreary, the hotels were
richer for their presence and the store keepers
reaped harvest, owing to the persistent love
OF spending money that seizes travellers in a
strange city. l will not say that today finds
this all changed-that Boston is entirely bereft
OF its summer patronage, but it must be al
lowed the Hub has been again left out in the
cold. Our July and August visitors do not
come from any distance; they are located at
neighboring resorts and drop in for a few
hours, but in no great profusion. And why is
this thus9 Simply because railroad carries
the bulk OF summer travel to the north Of out
of-the-way Boston and deposits it with less
friction and more dispatch at those other
watering places Of which Bar Harbor leads
the van. Another reason why our city is pecu-
liarly lonesome this season may be found in
the fact that counter attraction exists on the
other side of the Atlantic. Between these
dear charmers" Boston looks peaked and for
lorn.

A BLOODY ELECTION AFFRAY.
a Duel Followed by Fusilade I'm Which
Several Were Wounded.

The following particulars are furnished OF
the shooting which took place Saturday al
Newman's Grove, Warren county, Miss., at the
pavilion where the vote for supervisor was be-
ing counted: Fully fifty persons were present
and crowded up around the tellers, when an
alteration arose between W. h. Brobston and
James Lanier. Brobston struck Orphus LAnier
and the latter raised a large stick, at the same
sented his pistol at Lanier.
At this moment W. r. Brobston, cousin and
brother-in-law of W. H., drew his pistol and
fired at his cousin, who, though seriously hurt.
returned the fire, and in short duel ensued
between the two, terminating in w. H. Brob-
ston falling, while W. F. Brobston also went
down severely wounded. In the meantime Is
or 20 shots were fred by different persons in
the crowd, the confusion and excitement being
so great that il was difficult to tell who shot.
In the melee Justice Hawkins and Seymour
Robbs, who rushed in to stop the affray. were
seriously wounded, the former being shot
through the hip from behind. while a ball
passed through the latter's buttocks from side
to side. Lanier was graZed on the head by q
shot. w. +. Brobston was shot through the
upper part Of the right thigh from in front and
also in the left breasts
The ball in the breast passed through and
was hattened on q newspaper in the breast
PoShct VI HIS coat, anu was tnus prevented
from entering the cavity, though it made a ter
rible flesh wound The entire affair was over
in a few moments.
Drs. Robbins and Purnell were telerhoned
Tor at once and, securing a special engine. left
at pm. for that place. They returned here
between and pm, bringing with them W..
+. Brobston, who is now at Mrs. Harper's
clearinghouse, and Justice Hawkins. who was
taken to the hospital. Mrs. Brobston came with
her husband, and Mrs. Hawkins is expected
hourly. MIR. Bobbs was taken home.
The principals in the affair are brothers-in-
law OF Bishop Galloway, and among the most
estimable citizens of the county. w. F. Brob-
ston and +. w. Brobston were rivals for super
visor, the latter being a brother of W. H. Brob-
ston, and it is supposed some feeling existed
between them on this account. 1t is also
stated that an old feud existed between the
parties, growing out Of the settlement Of an
estate. The Brobston family is both numer-
Gus and influential. F. w. Brobston is at pres
ent supervisor, and ]. II. Brobston was a men,
Der of the last legislature and is a candidate
for reelection. Considering that the ARRAY
took place in the center of dense crowd, it is
considered remarkable that no more casualties
occurred Great excitement was created here
by the news. mingled with the deepest regret
at the lamentable occurrence.

a widow and children sadly in need. He re-
paired to the cafe where he knew he womb

need They were not in the mood and refused
to give even the smallest coin. AT this the
artist withdrew ~ the other corner Of the room

with pSture on il. His friends immediately
focked around him TO admire this work. After
hs'ening to their praises he offered il for sale
to the highest bidder The bidding was spirited
and the plate was finally sold for a large sum.

Horse and Locomotive Racing.

From the Waterville (Me) Sentinel.
The Maine horse does not propose to take the
dust from anything equine, but Skowhegan
trotter seems to have let his ambition run away
with him this week. He took the ties ahead of
the down train from Skowhegan just this side
OF Somerset and started without the word to be
tho first under the wire at Fairfield station.
The engineer saw him and did his best with
changing bell and screeching whistle to take
the pole from him. but the gamy horse would
not leave the track. The novel race was soon
watched by every passenger who could get his
head out Of the window or squint around q car
from the platform. For more than two miles
the animal kept up his breakneck pace without
q misstep and, although the engineer was forced
TO moderate the speed of the train somewhat

Infants Sensitive Eyes,


In an article on Blindness and the Blink, ("
in the current number of the journal Of the
Franklin institute, DR.. Webster Fox refers,
among other things, to the need for care
being exercised with regard to the eyes Of
young children. The eyes are more sensitive
to light in childhood than in adult life, vet q
mother or nurse will often expose the eyes Of
an infant to the glare of the sun for hours at
o time. DIR. Webster Fox holds that serious
evil may spring from this, and he even con-
tends that 1.-The greatest number Of the blind
lose their sight from carelessness during in
fancy" From the point Of view of an oculist
he protests against the notion that children
should begin to study at q very early age. He
thinks that until they are between seven and
nine years old the eye is not strong enough for
school work. When they do begin to learn
lessons they ''should have good light during
their study hours, and should not be allowed to
study much by artificial light before the age Of
ten. Books printed in small type should never
be allowed In school rooms, much less BE- read
by insufficient light"
