ported that Lcgitimo had appealed to tho

Pig Iron Production.

PHILADELPHIA. July 23.-Statistics
furnished by the American Iron and Steel
Association show that the production Of
pig iron In the United States in the frat
six months OF 1859 was larger than in any
previous six months in the history Of the
American iron tradc. The stocks Of un-
sold pig iron on June 20 were much larger
than at the close of any preceding semi-an
nual period for a number OF years. The
total production of pig iron In tho first SIX
months of 1889 amounted to 4,l01, 80 Q net
tons of 1900 pounds, or 3,661, '67 gross tons
Of ., a,2i0 pounds. The increased production
was wholly in those kinds which are used
for general foundry and mill purposes.
There was decrease in the production of
Bcssemcr pig iron. All the leading pig

The Pope's Health.

New YonK. July 24.-Bishop Nc.
Quaid, of the Diocese of Rochester. who
has been in Rome for several months, rc
turned home yesterday on the steamer La
Normandie. Tho Bishop declared that the
reports OF the Pope's Ill health were in the
main cxaggerations and promulgated for
various reasons. He had had numerous
interviews with his holiness and had even
seen him the day before his departure for
health aud buoysnt In spirits and-sccmed
to carry his four score years as lightly AS
many men carry half that number. Other
reports which have been published of late
that the Pope was preparing to leave Rome
md has already made arrangements to pur-
chase scat in Spain, were, he thought,
groundlcss, as tho clergy of Rome knew
nothing of such plan. Regarding
Cardinal Gibbons chances of becoming
Pore which have been talked of and
thought Of recently, the bishop said that
they amounted to practically nothing. ain

broad smile upor his lips, "thc latest re.
port which heard before left Rome was

Leo. only say that" he added, breaking
into laugh, ito prove what little truth
there can be In such rumors. Naturally
the fact of his being an American docs
not bar him from succession to the pon,ifi-
cal chair chair, but the cardinals OF the
papsi college recognize that, owing to tho
present state of affairs and the peculiar
political combinations and complications in
Italy, an Italian Pope is an absolute ncees
sity."

TIMBER CULTURE CASES.
A Modification in the Interpretation Of
tho Law.

tho Law.
WASHINGTON, July 20.-Secretary
Noble to day, in letter to the Commits
in very important particular the applica-
tion OF the rule as to the time in certain
timber culture cases. The timber culture
act of June IA, 1878, provided that any per-
son who shall plant, protect and keep in q
healthy growing condition for eight years
ten acres Of timber in any quarter section
OF any Of the public lands Of the United
States shall be entitled TO patent at the
expiration of said eight years, on making
proof, etc. Section provided that ''no
dnal certificate shall be given or patent is
sued until the expiration Of eight years
from the date of entry" The Land Com
missioner, in a circular of instruction to
Registers and Receivers, dated February
!, 1ss2, held that half the trees must actu-
ally have been growing five years and the
remaining half four years to conform to the
terms Of the act. This Interpretation was
sustain ed in a subsequent decision, which
held the preparation of land and
the planting of trees to be
acts of cultivation, and that the
time actually so employed should be com
puted as part of the eight years required in
timber culture cases, and as the act pro.
vided for three years cultivation of land
before trees could be planted, the effect Of
the ruling was to compute the period Of
cultivation from the date Of entry. On June
"a, 1887, Commissioner Sparks, in a circu.
lar to Registers and Receivers, directed, 'In
computing the period of cultivation time
ruus from date when total number Of trees
seeds or cutting required by the act are
| planted" and final proofs of entrymen not
having complied with this rule were re-
iected.
Secretary Noble, in his letter to-day to
| the Commissioner, sustains the ruling made
by Commissioner Sparks, but says: ..Inas-
much as the department from the time OF
the passage of the bill up to June %, 1857,
| erroneously construed the true spirit and
| intent of the act, and in pursuance thereof
| numerous entries have been made under
| the law as promulgated amounting to some
800 or more, sucn entries should be pro-
tected under the construction that is given
| the act giving such construction all the
force and effect Of law. Were it not so,
great wrong and Inconvenience would re-
| suit"
The Secretary therefore directs that the
rule in the case of Henry Hooper, in point,
be SO modified as to mold that all entries
made under the act as construed from Feb
ruary !, 1852, to June "a, 1857, should pass
| to patent and that all entries made after
an announcement Of that doctrine should
be governed by the principles therein enun.
| ciated.

A WYOMING LYNCHlNG.
ACattIe Thief and His Paramour Hung
from a Cottonwood.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 22.-James
Averill, postmaster at Sweetwater, Wyo.,
and woman living with him as his wife,
were lynched by party Of stockmen and
COW boys last evening. Since the decline
Of the Wyoming Stockgrowers' Associa-
tion two years ago Wyoming stockmen have
suffered heavy and continuous losses Of
cattle by the depredations of cattle thieves
and rustlers.
Although all parts of the Territory have
been the scenes of this particular form Of
crime, yet in Fremont County, where this
lvnching occurred, the cattle thieves have
been particularly bold ard law-defying in
their operations. At the term of court
just closed in Fremont County, out Of six
teen indictments for cattle stealing, not
one conviction was secured, the juries be-
ing afraid TO convict through fear Of VEN
geance of friends of the defendants
large number Of cattle thieves and rus
tiers.
Averill and his female companion were
among the most notorious Of the "Maver-
ickers." Their plan of operations was to
steal unbranded calves and kill the mother.
In this way they had collected in their pas
ture several hundred calves SO far this
season. A neighbor who protested saw
Mrs. Averill round up two Of his steers on
the range and deliberate shoot both Of
them. As she was a woman Of notorious
character, dead shot with rife and Of
revengeful disposition, he was afraid to in.
terfer-. When the round up reached Av-
erill's ranch Averill refused TO allow the
cowboys to inspect his pasture, Threatening
TO kill anyone who tried to enter. As he
was known TO have a record Of killing sew
eral men, one Of whom he shot in the back,
his statement carried weight and the
round up was forced to leave his pasture
uninspectcd. The unsuccessful record of
the courts and the bold aud defiant bearing
of the cattle thieves convinced the stock
men that IL they wished to save their prop
crty, they must take the law into their own
hands.
Last evening about twenty OF the most
respectable and law-abiding people Of the
Sweetwatcr Valley met near Averilrs
ranch. They formed Gordon around the
house and selected q committee TO arrest
the occupants. Averill and the woman
were secured. A short hearing was given
them and they protested that the calves in
the pasture were brought from Nebraska.
This was disproved without further parlcy.
Ropes were placed around their necks and
thrown over the limbs of a sprc aiding cot
tonwood. They were drawn up by relent-
less hands, and in a few moments the
bodies OF the guilty couple swung lifeicss,
and the lynching party rode on as quietly
rs they came.
No legal steps will be taken to molcst the
participants. The lynching is regarded As
iustifablc, and marks the Inauguration OF
. feeling among stockmcn that the time
has come when property must be protected.

LONDON, July 22.-Mr. Labouchere,
in the debate in the House Of Common. to-
day on the grant to Princess Louise on the
occasion Of her marriage TO the Earl OF
Fife, moved the rejection Of the report oi
the committee, and to substitute therefor an
address to the Queen rcciting among other
things that the sums already voted by Par
lament to the royal family should be amply
sufficient for all their present purposes
and that If further supplies are needed they
ought to be provided through the relin
quishment of expenses of the royal family
not by fresh demands on the taxpayers.
Mr.. Gladstone, although he censured the
Government for its attitude, voted with
the majority of the committee on royal

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 25.-Tho
excitement in Wyoming over the lynching
Of Jim Averill and Ella Watson continues
unsbated. To-day Sheriff Hadsell of Car
bon County returned from the scene of the
lynching, having In custody Thomas Sun,
A. j. Boutwell,, Ernest Mclean and Robert
Connor, four Of the men charged with the
lynching. A ffth, John Durbin Of Chey-
ennc, was telegraphed to by Sheriff Had
sell 70 come TO Rawlins and give himself
up 70 the authorities. Durbin complied with
the order and Ii now en- route for Rawlins.
Tho arrested men are all prominent stock
men Of Carbon County, and are the heavi-
est tax payers in the region. Tom Sun is
an old pioneer scout and is known all through
the West He has large herd Of cattle
and Is wealthy. A. ]. Boutwell, is q wealthy

A Noted Character Gone.

New YORK, September 6.-Charles
Marie Villa died yesterday at his home
at 500 Sixth avenue. His death was not
altogether unexpected, and was due to a
complication of diseases, chief OF which
was acute bronchitis. While com para
lively unknown to the general public,
Prof. Villa exercised a wide influence
in the French colony. He was
driven from France after the coup d'etat
of 1851. He was born in Paris sixty
eight years ago. He quilted the Ecole
Polytechnique in his 18th year, and at
once plunged into work as writer on
the Partisan press. For ten years Villa
acquired reputation as the FL
garo's dramatic critic. Villa was one
of the first Parisians to condemn
the candidacy OF Louis Napoleon against
Cavaigua in 1S4S. A friend and admirer
of La MARITIME, he pointed out, neverthe-
less, the danger that would follow votes
scattered for Deputy Raspail, General
Changanier and La MARITIME himself. His
forecast was justified. Cavaigua was
defeated. Villa, in 1851, when forced to
leave Paris, took refuge at Geneva. Two
years later, despairing of taking up his
old free life of the Partisan boule-
wards, he left Switzerland, reaching New
York in August, 1858. For more than
thirteen years he spent his leisure time
writing wonderfully graphic and pictur-
esque criticisms of New York theatrical
performances in the Courier des Etas
T1,,io
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-09-07

THERE passed through this city yester-
day over the Southern Pacific lines two
trains of California products for the East,
that are typical of our State and an
earnest of what will be done in these
lines in the near future. There were in
the two trains fifty cars, and they were
laden with wine and wool, with brandy
and hides, with canned goods Of all sorts,
including the various fruits of the State,
vegetables and salmon. 1t would be a
difficult matter to estimate the value of
these two trains. Fifteen tons of wool
in any one car would be worth 1900 to
$4,000, according to it's grade, and as to
whether it was in the grease or secured.
A carload of hides of the same weight
would be worth perhaps "a 900. Salmon
or canned fruit by the carload will run
in value up in the thousands of dollars,
while a carload Of wine would be worth
vastly more than any commodity named
yet, and carload of brandy would be
worth five times as much as one OF wine.
The day is not far off when daily from
Los Angeles and three or four other
points in this State half dozen such
trains will leave to cross the continent
with goods raised here, and their reven.
ues returned to the State in payment for
these products of our soil will be of a
volume even we do not realize.
