LEWISTON, Idaho, Sept. 3O.-Snnday
morning Two prospecfors. named George
Nash and Andrew Gilbert, hailing from
British Columbia, were in town with
their pack horses replenishing their sup.
plies of provisions, and became intoxi-
Gated.
After taking their departure, and
about four miles from town, they got
into dispute. Nash started for Gilbert
with pick, and Gilbert grabbed an AK
and hit Nash in the head. crushing his
skull and slashing a portion of his hat
into his brain. The injured man was
brought to town and DIR. Shaft summon
ed Six pieces of the skull bone. TO.
gether with portions of the hat, were
removed from his brain. The head was
sewed up and the injured man taken to
the county hospital. Last reports say
he is raving maniac.
The man who dealt the deadly blow
now rests in Jail. He accompanied the
injured man to town and was chief
among those who helped in caring for
him. or the cause and nature of the
quarrel but little can be learned. Both
men were drunk and they were entirely
alone. They pitched camp on Saturday
night about four miles from the city.
On Sunday drunken quarrel was en-
gagged in with the above result. Gilbert
says that he struck Nash with an ak 10

Nash having cornered him between the
fence and the camp was rushing down
upon him with pick uplifted. He,
seeing no escape, seized the ak and
struck Nash Oh the head. The ak and
the pick were both found on the field of
the struggle. Gilbert appears to regret
deeply the result of the fatal quarrel,
saying that whiskey was the soc
cause for the trouble.

The dispatch which follows originated
in Boise City some weeks since, and has
been burdening the telegraf wires with
increasing horrors ever since. Such
dispatches do infinite harm to the state
at large. and Camas Prairie, as usual, ia
the principal sufferer. Just as begin to

a black eye by starting a bloody Indian
outbreak. We have Indians here, it is
true, but they are not the fighting kind,
and life and property is as safe here as
in Indiana itself.

Z A WONDERFUL AFRICAN LAKE.

Sheet Of Water Deep In the Crater of a
Volcano.
Letter to New York World.1
Two hours march north of Taveta is Lake
Chala, one of the loveliest and most remark
able sheets of water in East Africa. \ =
The peaks OF Kilmanjaro were hidden behind
veil Of clouds. Nothing was to be seen Of
the mountain but the rolling foothills
ending in banks of mist, and none would
suspect that behind those cloud masses
stood In silent and awful majesty the mon
arch OF all African mountains. Several
miles ahead OF US, as also on our left, many
minor cones reared their heads a few hun
dred feet above the plain. The internal
forces which in their mightiest days pro-
duced Kibo and Kimawenzi upraised. in the
feebler efforts of their decline, these lesser
peaks. One Of these cones, toward which
we were vending our way, seemed to have
collapsed within itself. Its upper part was
gone and the sloping sides of its lower half
ended In an irregular ring, suggesting an
inverted bowl with the bottom broken out.
Arriving at the foot of this bowl a stiff
climb of some 400 feet brought Us to its
narrow. Jagged rim.
The inner side of the rim turned out to be
a steep, rocky precipice which dipped down
sheer 400 feet, or to the level OF the plain
we had just left, where it disappeared in
the waters OF the loveliest little crater lake
imaginable. Four hundred feet in the
bowels of the hill, not a breath of wind can
ruttie the surface OF Lake Chala, and it lies
there in its deep setting, smooth and gleam-
ing as sheet OF glass. The rim of the
crater appeared to be about five miles

Rev. Doctor Beacon Wouldn't Trip le and
He Doesn't Like FrivoIIty.
The appended story is given third-hand.
The writer did not hear the sermon and the
narrator said he didn't either, but he re-
garded his information as reliable, in fact,
wrose Accepted" on the back of it.
Without circumlocution or prevaricatiou
it is that on last Sunday Rev. DR.. Beacon,
pastor of the Forest Grove Presbyterian
Church, of Robinson township, metaphOri-
cally took of his collar and cuffs, spat on
his hands and proceeded to read the riot act
to some Of his auditors. The casus Geli was
party given by lady in DR.. Beacom's
bailiwick, at which sundry lads and lasses
"chased the glowing hours with flying feet
one night last week.
On last Sunday morning, according to the
narrator, DR.. Beacon made the party the
burden Of his discourse, and in language
more emphatic than emollieRt told the rev.
elers what he thought of dancing, finding
no Justification thereof either IN the Bible,
Westminster Confession, Thirty-nine Arti-
cles, nor in the Solemn League and Cove
nant, even If David did dance before the
Ark of the Covenant.
Then, as the story goes, the doctor, whose
structures are received with due Christian
humility by his flock, gave an opinion Of
oil well drillers in general, score or so of
whom turn the screw within sight of the
church and parsonage. 1t is said that DR..
Beacon does not find either their faith or
practice conducive to morality, so far as he
is informed, by observation and report.
So far as can be learned the structures OF
DR.. Beacon are regarded more in sorrow
than in anger" by some at least of those at
whom they were aimed. A gentleman who
is relative OF the lady who gave the Christ
mas reception states that he is sure she
meant no ofense, and that it isn't a case of
sour grapes on the part Of the pastor, as the
lady would have been glad to have had him
and his family present to share in the, as she
thought, innocent pastime.

SOME WORKHOUSE STATISTICS.
What the Day After n Holiday Shows and
the Mortality Percentage.

hhut the Day AFTER H0l1day SHOWS and
the Mortality Percentage.
Since the day when Cain fractured Abel's
skull with club crime has been rampant
upon the earth, but it is noticeable in look
ing over prison records that there are Ger
tain periods during decade and during a
year when the number Of inmates is tripled.
Whether the increase of crime at such
periods is caused by changes of the moon,
indigestion, changes in the earth's orbit, or
to the presence of his satanic majesty on
this little ball in the vast universe is a
question for psychologists.
A glance over the workhouse records for
the last nine years shows that ON the day
succeeding Christmas the following number
of persons were incarcerated within its walls
for oienses of various degrees of gravity
against society: In 1880 there were 333
males and 81 females; in 1881, 1928 males and
79 females; 1882, 507 males and 81 females:
1888, 482 males and 81 females; 1884, 739
males and 90 females; 1885, 755 males and
81 females; 1886, 597 males and 60 females;
1887, 703 males and "a females; 1888, 635
males aud 80 females; and for the 26th of
December for the present year, 633 males
and 76 females.
1t will be noticed that in 1SS2-S4-85-S6-S7-
1889 the number of females averaged about
10 per cent of the entire number of prison
ers. Superintendent Warner said that at
the last meeting of the National Prison As
ISOLATION the question of mortality had been
discussed. The mortality is greatest among
the convicts in the Southern States, especial
lY in Alabama and Tennessee, ranging from
to 16 per cent, while at the workhouse the
percentage of mortality, during the 10 years
which it has been in existence, is only X of
per cent among the $4,000 prisoners who
have been confined there during that time.
Only 124 prisoners have died within its
walls, which speaks well for the sanitary
condition of the prison and the work Of its
officers.

succeed in bringing this matter to their at
tention would be to secure their aid. I'm
agine the chagrin and disappointment we
felt when in numerous instances the proprie-
tors of workshops, mills, etc., refused us
even the poor privilege of placing these cir
culars in their establishments. Since then
we have made no attempt at advertising ex-
cept in limited way in the newspapers.
THE HOMEOPATHIC HOSPITAL.
A call at this hospital found the Superin-
tendent, Colonel W. ID. Slack, occupied
in attending q meeting of the Execu-
tive Committee, hence no statement Of
details could be obtained. An interview
with DR.. ]. 81. McClelland on hospitals and
their needs proved most interesting, though
pressing professional duties precluded its
extension to any length.
81 have devoted 25 years of my life to the
practice of medicine and surgery, and q
large share Of it has been given to hospital
work. The hospital is a necessity. We
need more of them here, and those we have
now should be enlarged.
Most pressing among our immediate ne
cessities is the establishment of hospital in
a central location for the treatment Of acute
diseases and emergency cases. Next the es-
quently occurs that patients with contagious
diseases apply for admission at the general
hospitals. The necessity and justice of re-
fusing them is evident, though the report of
such occurrence recently brought forth ad-
verse and unfair criticism. The State
Board of Charities pronounce our hospitals
equal in every regard TO any in the country,
while the famous physician and Surgeon
DR.. Keith, of Edinburgh, cited the Homeo-
pathie the best constructed and appointed in
the United States.
TO FEND OFF GERM ACCRETIoNS.
There is continuous effort toward elimin-
ating what is called hospitalism-that is the
accumulation OF diseased germs in one
building-and this is being rapidly accom-
plished, so much so that we rarely ever have
anything that approaches what used to be
the bane of such institutions.
In Europe people point with pride to
their magnificent hospitals, and there is
never day in the larger cities without
meeting of some character to consider and
promote their extended usefulness. That is
what is the matter with our people They
do not lack iberality, but they do seem to
lack a proper degree of interest in matter
which is OF the most vital importance to the
entire community. Iftheir pride can only
once be stirred up there will not much
longer be complaint of insufficient friends,
inadequate quarters or the absence of any
thing which may minister to the wants Of
the suffering sick.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.i
NEW YORK, January 1.-When the Pan
Americans were in this city there was 3
small group of the Spanish-speaking dele
gates who did not JOIN the general body in
eating big dinners and celebrating publicly.
They obtained the services of young
Spaniard who has lived here long time,
and saw the town in their own way. 1t seems
that they wasted little time on the conven-
tlonal sites, but devoted themselves strictly
to business, and bought lot of real estate.
In this group were Senior Henriques, Count
Villareme and Countess Chamoord de
Peseta.
The Countess Chambord de Peseta bought,
through Ames s. Co. and others, w. Bourke
Cockran's house, 125 West Sixty-fourth
street, for a residence. This house was
originally bought BY Mr.. Cochran for his
own residence, but he changed his mind
about it, and put it on the market OF this
purchase Mr.. Cochran said: :
Many of the Spanish-speaking Ameri-
cans, who have been and are acquiring
property here, will 90 into the export busi-
ness. Others may go into banking. l un-
derstand from them that the reasons for their
action lie in the low rate of interest obtain
able in the Spanish American States They
are highly grati6ed to be able to invest in
such way that they may gain to per
cent net for their money. In their own
countries they say that the returns from in
vestments would be barely 1 per cent. A
good many more purchases of real estate are
likely to follow"

during the year 1889 was s., ,562, ,763.
The annual appropriations for the United

double the amount stolen, while the sum
would meet the expenses Of the War De

equal to the total value of either the living
animals, fresh and salt beef, lard, leather,
petroleum, or cheese exported from this
country to Great Britain in year, more
than equal to the combined annual exports
to Great Britain of iron, copper and sugar,

State Vice Councillor Stephen Collins, of
the Jr. o. q. A. NJ, was asked yesterday
whether it was true, as recently stated, that
a general movement would be started to
drive the Hungarians from the Connells-
vile region. Said he:
''NO action is being taken by the order as
an order looking to the expulsion Of the
foreign element from these regions, but it is
quite possible that individual members of
the order are taking such steps. You are
aware that there is very strong feeling
among Americans and naturalized Amer
leans against the employment of men Of
such character as these Huns are known to
be. The Jr. o. q. A. NJ. are agitating for
the passage of a measure which will limit
or altogether restrain the importation of
this class of emigrants; but other than in
this respect it is not taking action regard
ing them"

READING, January Thomas Jeffries,
aged "a, wealthy Philadelphia patient at
the hotel near WernersYille, committed sui
eide on the mountain yesterday afternoon.
He had been guest at the hotel for several
weeks, suffering from nervous prostration,
and was seeking rest. About 2 o'clock he
left the hotel, taking with him the linen
sheet of his bed, and walked up the mount
ain for over mile. He then left the road
and walked into the woods for about 20 PAGES.
where he selected tree whose lower limbs
were five or six feet from the ground.
Climbing up the tree, he tied the sheet
about the limb ami around his neck and
dropped into eternity.
The absence of the man was soon noticed
and parties were sent out in search of him.
At 2:45 his dead body was found hanging
from the tree. The body was at once cut
down and taken to the hotel, where Coroner
Hoffman, held an inquest and verdict
was rendered that the man came to his death
through suicide while out of his mind. The
body was sent to Philadelphia. A widow
and four children survive him.
