THE DEAD SEA.-The Dead Sea is one Of
the most remarkable phenomena on the
earth. The Bible calls it the Salt Sea or
Sea of the Plain; the Greeks the Lake OF
Asphalt and the Dead Sea, while the Arabs
know it as Bahr Lut, or Sea of Lot, preserv-
ing the memory of the tragic catastrophe
which occurred on it's shores. According TO
the old traveller Msundrell, the name Dead
Sea is derived from the fact that it moveth
not, but is ever still. A modern traveller
SAYS it is the least dead of anything he
knew. "On the day of my visit it was
greatly agitated-its high and angry waves
crested with foam. For other reasons it de-
serves the title. Not shrub grows on is
shores. Not q fish dwells in its brackish
waters. Not boat floats upon its surface"
Hero and there ON tho beach lies the dead trunk
of tree, brought down by the Jordan but thrown
up by the unwilling lake. 1rby and Mangles tried
to light one of these pieces of driftwood, bat in
vain.

A Desperado's Career Closed for Awhile
by Six-Year Sentence.
In the District Court to-day, Dick Rogers,
cowboy of IS. was tried on a charge of
assault, found guilty and sentenced to six
years in the penitentiary. The offense was
committed September I'd last, when Rogers
stepped upon the depot platform at the Hot
Springs station and emptied his revolver at
a coach loaded with passengers, Just leav-
ing for the city. A lady passenger was dan
gerOusly wounded, but afterward recovered.
Rogers immediately escaped. At one time
he was corralled among some rocks at the
foot of precipice. He succeeded in stand
ing off the officers for four days, but on the
morning of the fifth 1t was found that he
had scaled the cliff and had started across
the mountains toward Logan. He was
in his Shirt-SleeveS and spent several nights
thus at the snow line. His flight across the
mountain was indicated to the officers by
flock of buzzards. which followed him for
days, expecting to get a chance to pick his
bones. Rogers cursed the birds and threw
rocks at them, but they stuck to him. Near
Logan he entered a farmhouse to get
something to eat, but was betrayed and
arrested.
He was placed in the County Jail at
Ogden, and, while awaiting trial, found
means of constructing a tunnel and escaped.
He Travelled by night, and was captured
eight days after his escape in the extreme
northwest corner of the Territory at sheep
camp. His retreat was betrayed to the offi-
GERS by fellow-prisOner. whom he had
taken into his cpnfiiience.-Ogden special to

called, had entered the capital. Then opened
the gloomiest page in the history of France.
On one side were the vanda's Of the COM
mune, doing their best to burn Paris to the
ground, numbering innocent hostages, un-
claiming all the horrors of civil war; exhib-
ting all the heroism, every act of ferocity
and cOwardice, into which human nature
when unrestrained will rush. On the other
side were the troops irritated by the strug-

upon them, exasperated by so many horrors
Torrents of fratricidal blood deluged the
pavement Of the great French city. While
the struggle was going on, there could be
seen arriving at Versailles, escorted by the
soldiers, gangs of prisoners. the savage
fagration, and who. in blind obedience to
their leaders, had committed unparalleled
acts OF barbarism. They arrived on the
great Place d'Armes, under bright and
probing sun. The perspiration ran from
their faces, blackened with gunpowder and
dust. Their cloths were in tatters. smelling
OF smoke. and petroleum. There were wo-
men, with features distorted by hatred and
anger; precociols children. casting a
stealthy look around them: and old men,
blood on their white hair ana boards, mark
ing them out as apostles of revolution. Some,
who had been jolted amidst the lumber
heaped on the carts, were taken out and
put fiat on the ground. They, lay stiff
and motionless, with their eyes wide
and staring, as if, after a long fit of
madness, they had lost all consciousness of
an outer world. The captives were separa-
ted into groups, and sent to improvised
prisons, where an attempt was made to
shelter this army of disorder. They had
added shame to defeat. who had with fire
and sword ravaged Paris. They had done

The Judson Iron Works were closed down
yesterday morning for repairs. The rolling
mills were repaired during the first week of
the strike, and are in need of nothing but
iron-workers at the present time. To-day
will be the last granted by the Council of
Federated Trades of San Francisco for the
JudsOn Company to settle the strike. The
boycott on the products of the mills is
threatened if the company does not settle
the strike to the satisfaction of tho strikers.
The strikers are very indignant over the
discharge. by Superintendent Beauregard,
of one Tom Gator, laborer at the iron
works. His brother, George Gator, is a
striker, and the workmen say that Tom was
discharged because he is Georges brother.
