VERD ANTIQUE.
Julian NJ. Case Thinks il a Big Bo-
nanza.

Julian NJ. Case has been in the city
for n day or two on business. The
TELEGRAN HERALD got him by the
buttOn-hOle last evening at the Morton.
"Well, Mr.. Case, suppose you think
you have quite bonanza in your Verd
Antique mine"'
Yes, the Michigan Marble Company
have, IN my opinion, one of the finest
properties IN America. The range of
verd antique marble on the compauy's
property extends tor a distance Of one
half mile, the hills ranging from I25 TO
200 feet IN height and about 500 feet in
width at the base. During the past
summer and fall the Michigan Marble
Company have been busily engaged in
examining and exploring this property,
the principal exploration having been
carried on by use of 4 diamond drill,
with which they have taken out cores
IT depth of between 30 and 100 feet al
many places on the range These cores
have been pOlsned and are Of great
beauty. Slabs, columns and hand
samples OF the rock have becnquarrled,
sawed and polished, and in my mind
aIrpass IN beauty any marble ever
quarried IN or imported into the United
States. and numerous architects,
marble men and builders in New York,
Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Milwaukee
and other .arge cites have expressed
the highest opinion IN regard 10 the
marble There was q question IN
the minds of some marble men
lu regard Co the sOunduesS OF the mar
blo, some thinking that the rock might
be scanned, cracked or IOnted SO shat
blocks OF sufficient size to make pillars
and slabs as large as might be required
tor commercial purposes could not be
quarrled; but after an exhaustive cx-
ANIMATION made by the company and
experts from Vermont, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and Georgia, and with the
use of the diamond drill the quarry has
been found 20 contain rock not only
of un-urpa asscd beauty but of suhstan-
ti3l s0undness. Tie fact has been Illus
trated that blocks can bc QuaTTicd OF
any SIZE desired free from Impcrfcc-
tons.
Among the stockholders Of the Mich
gan Marble Company are John 4. =.

plunged Il knife into Detective j. W. Gill

long and three inches deep, severing all

head was half cut off but by asuperhuman
effort he staggered to his feet and, sup
porting himself against the Justices desk,
managed to put several shots into Smiths
body, who had turned to escape. Smith
had in the meantime plunged the knife
into Sergeant Meluney's hip, but the
wound is not considered serious In a
few seconds after Smith had cut the de-

up dead with five bullets in his body.
The detective was reported dying at half

AN AWFUL DEATH,
An Aeronaut Plunges Five Hundred Fee
to His Death.

An Aeronaut Plunges Five Hundred Feet
to His Death.
Houston, Tex, May 13-Four thousand
people assembled yesterday in the fair
grounds to witness the ascension of the
aeronaut w. E. St Clair in his balloon
and his descent in a parachute. There
was some trouble experienced in Initiating
the balloon, which was hot air one.
About six O'Clock it was cut from its
moorings and started on its voyage to-
ward the sky. About 100 feet from
the ground St Clair took off his
hat and jauntily waved adieu to
the crowd below. cheerily calling
out "good-bye." When he had reached
a distance of 500 feet he cut the
parachute loose and commenced his
descent He fell fifty feet before it
opened, and when it did so the shock
and sudden resistance was SO great as to
break his hold upon the rings. and with
breathless suspense the crowd saw his
body fall like a rocket to the earth. His
body fell 400 yards from where he started
up. He was found a mangled mass. He
gasped once or twice and all was over. In
his descent he narrowly escaped lighting
upon a paling fence. st. Clair has for
the last two years been giving these exhi-
billions throughout Texas. and a few
weeks ago ne got a severe fall from his
parachute in Galveston which laid him up
for two weeks. Ladies sitting on Mr..
Settegast's porch heard him mutter &c
himself in his rapid descent, Nearer the
end, nearer the end" His travelling COM
panion took charge of his body.
