More Indictments Against Major Burke.
New ORLEANS, October 23.-The
grand jury to-day resumed the State
bond investigation and returned three
more indictments, two of them being
against ex-Treasurer E. A. Burke for
forgery in uttering as true forged bonds
of the State. The forgery is understood
to consist IN having numbered the con.
stitutional bonds that were negotiated
by Mr.. Maurice Hart for Burke; they
were pledged to various banks of the
city, and when their fraudulent charac-
ter was discovered they were returned
to Mr.. Hart and he refunded the money
he had borrowed upon them. Conse-
quently, Mr.. Hart is seventy thousand
dollars out Of pocket.

To be Painted White.

1t was wired the other day that the Score.
tary of the Navy had ordered all the war
ship, Of The United States to be painted white.
Now the reason for the order comes in the
Philadelphia Times as follows: l: has been
found that iron and steel vessels, when pain
ted black, have been unnecessarily hot, and
to do away with this discomfort, as well a
to improve the looks Of the vessel, white has
been decided upon as the color for the navy
Especially is this color considered service
able one when cruisers are doing duty in
tropical climates. The coat Of white will
do much to prevent the absorption Of heal
that these vessels are liable 10, and thereby
greatly increase the comfort of officers and
crew. and improve the sanitary condition o.
the vessel"

She showed Him stars.

For every shooting star he claimed kiss.
She, seeming coy, at hrst demurred to this;
But he, persisting, would not be denied.
When he, at length, flying meteor spied.
And so, as evening grew apsce, their eyes
Oft scanp'd the glittering aspect Of the skies;
And when darling star caught others sight
A sound Of kissing broke upon the night.
And so it came to pass anon that she
Look'd for shooting star as much as he.
Nay, If by chance sIar escape his view,
She called hi, wandering fancy to it, too.
When intervals seemed long between each
hug,
She called him on passing lightning bug;
And, ever taxing her ingenious mind,
Her ready wit enabled her to find
More shooting stars in three shor: Aeetine
hours
Than would compose whole meteoric bowers
But when she did her last pretext exhaust,
And was about to yield her cause as lost.
She saw a swichman's lantern circling swing
And got the youth down to steady thing.

STAGE CONNECTIONS.


A good story is told on the boys Of Pizen
Switch by Assessor CARING. For some days
before the Fourth all the boys around the
Valley were training their running horses for
the races that were to come of on the Fourth.
Sunday is great day for the vaquaros and
Indians At Pisen, and the Sunday before the
Fourth witnessed more Piutes in town than
for many weeks before. The Indians had
some running horses themselves and were
anxious to do little betting on their favorite
nag. 1t seems that Joe Dowpey and Bill
Wi,herow had little horse from California,
. which they had picked up to corral the po,
on the Fourth. Jack Barton and Tom Barton
also had a horse each that they expected
much OF on that day. The Indians on the
Sunday mentioned were very anxious to run
the Downey and Wi,herow horse for S.
This was not money eaougd Tor the boys. 70
Jack Barton offered to run either his horse or
his brothers against the Piu,e horse for that
sum. Arrangements were made and few
bets we're made by the Piutes. They did
. not put up much money, however. The dis
lance was to be quarter OF mile, and OF
course the Barton horse won the race and the
money easily. Seeing that Bauon's horse
won 50 easily Downey and Wi,herow made
up their miads that they could pick up q few
dollars with their horse, and therefore agreed
to run the Piute horse for $40. Andy John.
son was to ride th< California ,nyincible. and
he had instructions to .ride to vim" When
the Indians found the race was made every
buck, squsw and papoose that could dig up
dollar. or even . quarter, bet it on the
Piute pony. The riders went 10 the quarter
pole. and the start was made. when the little
Piute horse shot away from the "California
Wonder" like an arrow. Andy johnson, the
rider OF the horse in the rear, made desper
ate effort to come in first by "cu,iing cross
io's," but even this dodge failed. and the
Piutes.yelled them selves hoarse in their ex
a'tasion. The poor white boys lost about
-s7s en- the race and lack Barton now sings
the song this way "TSs SIS in My Inside
