Strange Find of q FuH-EsigGed Ship il. a
Gaze in Parkway Australia.
A story which smaclzs of the marvel
GUS is the theme OF much speculation al
Sydney, Australia, says the New York
Journal In May, 1890, four men left
the Australian metropolis for pros
pecting tour in the mountains of New
Zealand. During July and August they
had done much hard work around the
base Of Mount Rraperhui and in the
immediate vicinity.
In tic following month they pene-
trated the unknown wilds on the head
waters OF the river Waikato. October
9 their crowbars loosened an immense
ledge Of rocks which arose like a preci-
pice from the bed of small creek
tributary to the Waikato. When the
debris was cleared away, a small crack
some ten inches wide. was revealed.
Within two feet of the opening this
crack became wide-mouthed sub
terranean chamber. A little more
labor admitted the men into the open
ing. Printing their miners lamps they
started on tour of exploration.
Bones, charcoal and rudely con-
structed pottery was found everywhere;
some nurnmified remains of small
race OF people with long, plated hair,
and a few copper weapons were also
found. Finally they emerged into
an immense chamber, the dome of |
which was several hundred feet above |
their heads. But the Titanic nature of
the cavern did not excite their curiosity
as much as strange-shaped object
which was dimly outlined in the center
of the chamber.
In their unboundcd amazement they
the uncanny object and
found it to be a sailing vessel of mar
Vicious symmetry and surprising beauty.
The deck was Of rosewood or of some
much resembling that valua-
bic cabinet timber, and the masts of
ebony, polished as finely as the case of
4 music-box. The remains of sails
which hung idly around copper wire
'opes or cables proved that they had
oeen of pure yellow silk, almost as
,hicl as a farmers grain sack.
The vessel was upwards of one hundred
Get in length and some thirty broad.
llthough there were many copper wires
md bands used in its construction, not
single nail or screw OF any metal was
o be seen, every joint being secured by !,
lardwood screws or pine. Here for |
nee is room for unbounded speculation. !
When, how, and under what circum-
tances was this piece of unknown
larine handicraft transported to the
outh Pacific island and buried hun
reds Of feet in the interior of a n
'fty mountain? No means of egress Y
: ingress were found except the mar
IVY opening revealed by the crowbar's
orl1.

Probably one of the busiest and at

men Of this city is he whose business it
is to minister to the large class of peo-
pie who are afflicted with an itch for
social distinction, says the New York
News. The business of furnishing APP
pearances for the public has sprung into
one of considerable magnitude during
the last few years. Prominent among

Every busy indeed. He has to ar

This answer was hardly given when
the proprietor entered. In a few brief
words the object of the interview was
stated and Mr.. Brown said:
81 have been caterer for good
many years, but it was not until few
years ago that was compelled to fur
nish many things that were foreign to
my business. 1t would surprise the
public to know to what an extent this
is carried on not only by seemingly
people, but by families who at
one time rated among the highest in the
city, who, like everybody else, have felt
The depression of business and are no

THiRTY-ElaAT YEARS APART.
a Family Eeunion Which was Tota
Surprise.


a Family Eeunion which was a Tota
Surprise.
Two brothers who had not seen each
other for thirty-eight years, but who
had been living and working within q
few blocks of each other for months,
were accidentally brought together re-
Gently. Their meeting, says the Chi
cago News, was followed by a family
reunion which completed a family circle
that had been broken since 1858.
In that year John Stephenson left
his home in Oneida county, n. Y. He
drifted sou3h and when the war broke
out he was running a locomotive on a
railroad in Texas. In some way a ru-
NOR reached his parents that he had en-
tered the confederate service and had
been killed in one of the early battles.
He was mourned as one of the unknown
dead in an unnumbered grave of the
battlefield.
Milton w. Stephenson was only two
years old when John left home, and the
younger brother knew his lost brother
only as family tradition. Milton came
to Chicago in 1870 and for some time
has been the. engineer of the Weber
music hall building at the corner of
Wabash avenue and Jackson street.
The other day he was surprised to meet
man of the same name-not a com
mon one-and comparison of family
history convinced the strangers that
they were brothers.
Il continued as a locomotive engineer
in Texas for several years." said John,

OF many night, made doubly long by
its protracted agony, the rheumatic SUI
ferer losses to and fro on his sleepless
couch, vainly praying for that rest which
only comes in fits and starts. His mall
ady is one which ordinary medicines too
often fail to relieve, but there is ample
evidence to prove that the efficient blood
depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
affords the rheumatic reliable means OF
relief. Check the malady in its incipient
stages, when the first premonitory twing-
es come on, with this agreeable medicine,
and avoid years of torture Whatever
be the rationale of the active influence Of
the Bitters upon this malady, certain ii
is that no evidence relating TO it's effect
is more direct and positive than that
which relates to its action in cases OF
rheumatism. Like all sterling remedies. |
however, it deserves a protracted, syste-
matte trial, and should not be abandon
ed because not at once remedial. 1t is
equally efficacious in dyspepsia, indiges-
ton and kindred disease.

FATAL Gas EXPLOSION.
A umb of Miners Killed in the Ocean
Coal Mines.

CLAEKsBURG. W. Va. May :. This
morning about : o'clock at the Ocean
coal mines two miles northeastern this
city owned by Wilson, Black i Shcriden,
a terrific explosion Of gas occurred. The
report was heard f." many miles and
brought a throng Of people from all the
surrounding country To the vicinity Of
the disaster. Men had descended into the
mine and about forty more were descend
ing when the catastrophe took place.
When the explosion occurred two great
clouds Of smoke and a large volume Of
water were forced from the two entrances
to the mine located about l,oOUfcet apart
and there was no idea that any of the
men would come out alive but the rescu-
ing party decided to start into the mine
and five men were gotten out alive. the
other four, Geo. Feather. aged 30, Con
nclsyille, Pa; VIM. Doughtery. 30,
Bridgeport. Nathan Gains, 81, Clarks-
burg; Chas. WEIGH, %. Clarksburg, were
all instantly killed. Feathers body was
recovered 10y a rush made by the iescu-
ers but the others could not be reached.
The mine at once took fire and is burn
ing furiously and there is no hope of
obtaining the bodies. If the explosion
had occurred a few minutes later forty
lives would have been sacrificed.

Sheriff Hamilton returned Tuesday
night from Sweet Grass, a station on the
Great Fails N Canada railroad, having in
his custody James Brown and Jas. How
ard. who were accused by "a Cascade
ranchman of stealing IA horse. The war
rant on which they were arrested was
sworn out before a justice of the peace of
that town. The sheriff captured them
near the west butte of the Sweet Grass
hills. not many yards from the interna
tional boundary. When he overlook
them they were making great strides for
her majesty's domain. The sheriff took
them to Cascade yesterday morning to
be examined, but for some reason il was
not held there. He brought them back
OF the afternoon train and they were eX-
amined before Judge Morehous. Owing
to a lack of sufficient evidence on which
to hold him, Brown was liberated from
custody. Howard is held awaiting the
arrival of another witness. The men
claim the horse was given to them. 1t is
reported that both men were travelling
under assumed names.

CONGREGATIONAL COLLEGE.
They Examine the Land offered by This
City-Distinguished Divines.

The Congregational college committee
who have the power to chose a site for
the proposed university arrived yestcr-
day afternoon from Butte to view the
land offered by this city. The party con
sisted of the following gentlemen: Reys.
William :. Bell, superintendent of mis-
sions, Helena: II. G. Simmons, Fargo;
+. b. Howells. Butte: S. a. Wallace.
Kelsey. secretary of committee. Helena;
f. Cory, Great Falls: Mcssrs. \. w. Miles,
Livingston; c. NJ. Webster. Great Falls;
G. S. Appleton, Helena.
They were met at the depot by a mum
Der of prominent citizens and escorted
to the Park hotel where half a dozen
carriages were waiting for the dis
tinguished party.
Soon as all were seated the carriages
started for the west side to view the 500
acre tract in section - and 23, about
two miles from the city. Then they
were taken down the river to section two
to view the quarter offered there.
After their drive the party returned to
town, and in the evening gathered in the
Board of Trade rooms to meet the citi-
| zcns of this city. 1t was rather an in
formal reception which, despite the dis
agreeable weather, was well attended by
the leading business and professional
men of the town.
As this is the first place the committee
has visited to examine the land offered.
we did not feel like ven attempting to
ask any of the gentlemen for an opinion
as to Great Falls chances. 1t will re-
auire some time after the property
promised by Helena and Livingston has
been examined before the final decision
is made.
The committee leave this morning for
Helena and after viewing the proposed
site there will go to Livingston on the
evening train, spending Saturday in that
city.
