Correspondence of THE HERALD. The
readers Of THE HERALD are acquainted
with the horrors of diphtheria, and the
residents of Ashley valley have learned to
their cost the meaning of the word. Some

the valley, Mrs. Darling by name, being
inspired with the same spirit that actuates
all heroines, and regardless of her own
danger, went to the suffering ones in the
canon and is doing noble work. No new

STRANDED TIES.

Provo river is strewn with railroad ties.
The stream did not afford water enough to
carry them down, and, as a consequence,
the timber is lodged along the route await

fairly well in this county: being located on

LORD LoNspALE's ARCTIC RIVALS.

Winnipeg, Sept 20.-Count Desainvlle and the
Hon. Mr.. Everest, two Engshmen, who left here
five six months ago with the object Of going further
north than Lord LOnsdale, have been heard from,
the letters having been written over two months
ago, and being dated from Fort Chippewayan. They
had a rough experience on Lake Athabasca and during
a storm were driven on an extensive mud deposit
When the water eceded their boats were left in the
mud two miles from open water and through this
they had to carry all thcr supplies and boats When
they started they intended pushing north TO Point
Barrow, the most nOrtherly point of Alaska, and
ting for time with the Uuited states marines
who arc establishing relief station there.
They greatly feared hostile Esqumaux whom they
would be unable avoid, but said If they succeeded
in getng by them they would have little difficulty
in reaching Point Barrow by the middle OF August
They have not yet reached there, and II is feared
that harm has befallen them. 1t is likely that the
Hudson Bay Company will send out a search party
from Fort Chippewayan.

sTANTIAL EVIDENCE, AND NOW CLEARED
BY ANOTHER MANS CONFESSION.
Chicago Sept. 2o.-An the history of instances OF
crcumstantal evidence and mistaken identity shows
no stronger against unfortunate innocent
man than was made by the testimony against Timothy
O'Grady who was convicted Of the murder Of Police
Officer Michael O'Bren the night of April 3, 1887,
and was sentenced to the penentiary for seventeen
years for mansaughter. The only point which saved
him from hanging was that Policemen O'Bren and
Dillon had, by roughly accOStlng and shaking OGrady,
given him. If not sufficient provocation to shoot them,
at least enough TO plead strongly against the in
fiction Of capital punishment o'Grady astounded all
his friends not one OF whom could believe him In
nocent of the crime by his refusal to plead self
defence when put on trial. He maintained, against
the advice of ALL that he had not done the shooting.
All the testimony and the circumstances won't to dis
prove his claim Of innocence, however, and his con.
victon followed.
After many months of confinement his liberty has
been made possible by the confession of one OF the
most daring and notorious criminals in the country,
John j., alias "Dyer,o scanan, the leader of the
notorious Mollie Motif gang, who was captured a
little oyer year ago by ex-Inspector John Bonfleld
and a squad of police. Scanlan few days before
had shot and it supposed mortaly wounded
Police officer Nolan, who tried to arrest him for
shooting a rebelliOus member of the thieving gang.
For shooting officer Nolan Scanlan and Mott were
sentenced TO the penitentiary, seaman getuhg ueh
years and ten months. OGrady's lawyers were con-
WINGED OF his innocence, and, after his conviction,
cast about for evidence to substantiate their belief
They we're enabled eventually to fix the crime on
Sca1lan and then they set about getting a
confession from him. This they have succeeded In
doing. 1t appears that oGrady had had hsht win
