Defects in the Constitution.

The Seattle Times in an interview
with a prominent legal man of that
city, has discovered that there are
quite n number Of defects in our State
Cor stitution, one OF which is, that the
Northern Pacific Railroad Co., may,
under it, claim exemption from taxa
ton OF their franchise, readbed, and
that portion of their right of way now
exempt 10y national law.
The article on taxation provides
that all property i'll the State not
exempt under the laws of the United
States, shall be taxed in proportion to
Its value. As at the time OF the adop-
ton of the Constitution this exemp-
ton existed, it will probably be held
by the courts, that this class of prop
erty owned by that company shall be
forever exempt from a tax levy.
1t is hardly probable that this was
the intent of the Convention, or the
will OF the people implied in adoption
of the Constitution, but the loop-hole
is there all the same, no matter who
is responsible for its creation.

struction of this vessel was twenty-four
months
She viii be 80 feet long, with beam
forty-nine and half feet, her displace-
ment being 1883 tons. Her estimated
horse power viii be $500, and with this
she is expected to show q speed OF a.
least eighteen knots. The Newark will
be fitted with twin screw horizontal
triple expansion engines. Her main
battery will be composed of twelve six
inch breech-lOadiug rifles and her
secondary battery will contain eleven
two and three FOUNDER rapid firing guns
and two Gatlings. Nearly all of this
ordnance is now ready for immediate
use.
The Philadelphia is a somewhat larger
vessel than the Newark. Her length will
be 3l5 feet and beam 49, feet. Her ac-
tual displacement is ALB tons, and her
estimated horse power will be 10 800
Upon this she is required to develop
speed of nineteen knots. Her total cost
will be 81 $50 900. Her battery is pre-
cisely the same as the Newark's.
Owing to the inability of the contrac-
tors to procure the necessary material the
work on these two vessels was DELAYED,
and when these facts were presented TO
the navy department an extension of FIVE
months was granted to each of them

The Mysteries of Electricity.

The story of the Newfoundland dog
belonging to Charles Topper, an Eighth
avenue restaurant proprietor, is one that
viii startle a great many persons who
are studying the mysterious forces and
powers of the electrical current, which
human ingenuity has so far only par
italy harnessed and controlled, but
scarcely yet understands. 1t has a per-
tinent bearing, moreover, on the use of
electricity for capital punishment On
July , the dog ran against a dangling
''live 'wIre of the United States electrical
illuminating company A Western Union
telegraph liueman had only moment
before picked up the wire and been
knocked down by the shock of cleo
tricIty passing through it. The dog
fell on the wire and lay there notion
less. With due precaution the body
was presently pulled of and every effort
made to resuscitate the animal, which
was a great pet. a veterinary sur
geOn was called in, who pronounced
the dog dead. Two or three hours after
ward an electrical expert suggested
making a pit in the earth and placing
the dogs body in it 10 see if the forces
of nature might not carry away the cleo
tricity from the body. The plan was tried.
All night and all the next day the
supposed corpse was motiOnless, but on
the SECOND day there were signs of life
and on the fourth the animal revived and
struggled to his feet a live dog once
more, weak and stiff, but very much
better than q dead dog. It has since
been carefully nursed and now shows no
signs Of the disaster. The dog is two
and one-half years old and weighs sixty
eight pounds. The incident may wen
suggest inquiry whether persons recelv-
ing electrical shocks have not been
buried before they were really dead, and
it is sufficient TO raise serious doubts
whether the death punishment ~
murderers by electrical shocks is suf-
fcient.

KILLED A YEARLING.

Joe Hinton and a Man Named Davis Resist AR
restitution Dangerously Wounded.
Special TO the Gazette.
MIDLAND, Ten. July 21.-Last night
W. L. Callahan, ooss of the Chicago
ranch, known as the Nelson Morris pas
lures, came into town and fled complaint
that Joe Hinton and one Davis had while
passing through the pastures killed one
of their yearlmgs for beef.
The GAZETTE correspondent in
conversation with Mr.. Callahan
gained the particulars as follows: Davis
and Hinton passed the camp where
several of the Chicago boys were at din
ner, but refused the invitation of the
boys to eat with them and passed on in q
direction for the New Mexico line. Mr..
Callahan after dinner rode out over the
pastures and came upon Davis and Hin
ton in the act of skinning the yearling,
but being alone he could not
prevent them. He returned to
camp and, taking five of the boys
well armed, followed the trail of Hinton
and Davis sixteen miles, overtaking
them At the Rowsley pastures. a run
ming fight took place, in which Joe Hin
ton received a dangerous wound in the
shoulder, which may prove fatal. Dep
uty Sheriff Andy Winburn went out last
night and brought the wounded man, to-
gether with his pal, in this morning.
Your correspondent this morning looked
up Davis ana tried to lead him out, but
could get him to say but little. Joe Hin
ton is recognized as one of the Hinton
boys vino was arrested last winter by
Sheriff Allison while en- route to New
Mexico from Mills county on a capias
from the latter county. 1t is presumed
from the circumstances that these boys
are now wanted in Mills county and were
eudeavoring to get into New Mexico.

DISCOVERED LITTLE PITTsBURG.
Reschler, the Long Branch Faro Winner, and
His History.
New YORK. World


Reschler is an old Western Gambler
His face is Of swarthy hue, and big
gray mustache covers his upper lip. He
is medium sized, and his age is some
thing over fifty. When he was only a
boy he caught the gold fever and left his
home in Arkansas for California. He
struck luck in the mines, and when yet
youth was worth good deal of money.
He gambled it away and made more and
then lost. So he went mp and down for
about twenty years, but he became one
of the best known mining experts in the
West.
In 1878 he got dead broke, and decided
to go to Denver. He left wife in San
Francisco. Denver did no better for
him. He drifted to Leadville in 1879.
His wife died, and Reschler got away
down on his luck. He had to go to
cleaning out ''The Little Church sa-
loon for q living. An assayer named
Metcalf heard Of him as @ MINER aud
employed him. He worked for a small
salary for time, and then bought an
assay outfit and started out for himself.
He located near ex-senator Tabor's lit
tie store in Wild Horse Gulch. Tabor
sold anything from Il needle to a miner S
outfit.
Reschler fell in with Pete Finnerty,
miner, and they started prospecting to-
gether. Reschler readily recognized
signs of gold, but they could not strike
lead. Finally their supply of provisions
gave out. They went TO Tabor and
asked for a ''grub stake" He fatty
refused at first, but Reschler told him of
signs of gold he had seen, and Tabor
yielded. They went up the mountain
side, ate the food and then filled up on
the contents of black bottle. When
they awoke in the morning, their Threats
parohed and their heads aching, they de-
cided not to travel further, but TO dig
where they were. When they had been
at work few hours without finding any
thing, Finnerty threw down his pick and
declared that he would work no longer.
Reschler peTsevered. A little while after
ward he called to Finnerty and held mp
bit of rock. They hurried TO an assay
Office and found that the ore Was worth
$50 200 to the ton That was how the
Little Pittsburg mine was discovered.
Tabor took one-half and Reschler and
Flnnerty the other, and before the mine
was exhausted they took out $50 600 900
worth of gold.

A PLEA FOR CREMATION.
Overcrowded Graveyards a Menace to DenseIy
Populated Cities.
Toronto Mail

E0puIateu CltfeS-
Toronto Mail.
Sanitary science may be said to be .
thing of to-day, brought about By the
requirements OF large populations. 1t is
true that some regulations with regard to
sanitary matters may DO found even in
the Book of Leviticus, bat then the Jews
were always highly sensible people,
and before their time in many things. In
later times the Greeks and Romans
were not so busy with philos-
ophy and conquest as altogether
to neglect the duties which in
these days are regulated by our
boards of health, and if in their years of
decadence they had been a little less
absorbed in handling their moral sew
age, they might have lived TO find ont
good deal about the drainage Of cities.
In the Middle Ages people troubled
their heads very little about sanitary
science, and were content to put down
the ravaging "plagues that resulted
from dirt and cnrelessness as the vista
tions of the Almighty. Coming down
to people of our own tongue, and to so
recent a date as to the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, we find that the gen.
eral condition of things was enough
to turn n modern health officers
hair gray in night. Drainage, even of
gentlemen s houses, was almost I'M
known, and it was not perhaps to be eX-
pected that the lieges who spat rejected
morsels OF their food out upon the rushes
in the dining room, where they were al
lowed to accumulate for weeks, as they
were in country houses, would be very
particular about sewerage. The homes
of the people were exposed to many
sources of mlasmatic danger, the
"leeches and "chirurgeons' of that
day were too rough and ready TO spend
much time in investigating the sources
Of disease and in giving them suitable
names, and there is no doubt
that the mortality among the
lower orders was very great. The
strong lived and the weak died off
There was "survival of the fittest''
with vengeance. And again and again
when epidemics came the old theory was
adopted that they were the scourging
hand of the Supreme visiting the people
for their sins, and it was sought to slay
them rather by prayers and crusades
against moral evil than by the cleansing
away of physical dirt. But the plaques
and pestilences were not always on their
dark walk, and there were poets such as
have never lived since, and it was in
those dim, old, poetical, romantic, in
sanitary times that the churchyard be-
gan to be surrounded by its halo of senti-
ment and association. Shakespeare
wrote:
