the horrible manner in which VIM.
Davenport com mitted suicide at Pam
AGA last Wednesday week. He had
been sick for about two weeks and
the pain in head set him crazy. Bor-
rowing a penknife from friend, he
repaired to a vacant lot, and inserted
the knife half way between the navel
and the right hip, cut into the abdo-
men aud let his intestines out, six
feet of which he threw away. He
also made two incisions in the left
side of his throat, which missed the
iugular vein, but cut the windpipe.
He lived for some hours in intense
agony. Before dying he said: 81

This Is the age OF cranks. The Rev.

received fine calls from large congre-
cations aud was travelling on the
train with his wife when he develop

suspicious of his family has been
confirmed by his family physician.

A very grizzled old prospector,
against whose wrinkled brows the
storms OF many years had beaten,
was last night lamenting the deca-
dence of the traditional old-time
prospector and the usurping of his
place by the eartern tenderfoot, says
the Inter Mountain. The picturesque
character OF We olden time is fast
disappearing from history and in his
place comes hardy race Of younger
men who with college educations can
cover twice the distance and undergo
as many hardships and privations as
the pioneers of 40. A week ago
young man of this class arrived in
Butte from summers prospecting
expedition. He made several valu-
able locations on his trip and being
we'll up in chemistry he had made
all his own assays during the season.
He did not carry any elaborate out.
fit, but the tests he made were suffi-
oient for every purpose. His assay
ing outfit consisted OF small bottle
OF iodine, and a small bottle of car
Donate of ammonia. A blow-pipe
and a small mortar with a porcelain
dish and few sheets of filter paper
completed the outfit. When he made
a discovery of gold bearing quartz,
II 1t was free oxide ore like hema-
lite, he took little of it and after
pulverizing it, placed it in the cup.
Then he added enough of the solu-
ton Of the iodine to cover the con-
tents. After allowing it to stand for
two hours, or less, il very rich, he
filtered the solution, and dipped the
fltering paper into it. If it gave a
purple color after being burnt it con-
tanned gold aud the deeper the color
of the paper the richer the ore. In
making test OF iron pyrites be first
pulveriZed and then roasted the ore
over an ordinary campfire. 1t was
roasted at dull red heat at first and
then raised TO cherry red. This
decomposed the sulphates that were
formed and placed the ore in the same
condition as the free ore test. In
limestone districts little carbonate
OF ammonia was added to the charge
and the roasted ore was heated again
until the carbonate of ammonia was
decomposed. This prevented the
lime in the ore from interfering with
the test. For silver bearing quartz
he used the blow-pipe. First pro.
curing a small quantity of the quartz,
he bored a hole in a soft stone aud
put the pulyerized quartz into it. A
little test lead was mixed with the
ore. and was melted with Stag. The
resulting lead button was then cupel-
ed, and If it contained any silver, a
little silver button would be left at
the bottom of the cupel.

The dictum of the Mining Congress
which has Just closed, says the juno
ton (Col.) Star, has gone out to the
public on the question OF free and
unlimited coinage. Out OF a total
vote of 4s9, 4s1 votes were cast for
free and unlimited coinage OF the
white metal. This action OF such
fine body of men, representatives
gathered from almost every State in
the Union and of foreign countries,
must strike terror TO the gold bugs
of Wall street who have profited so
largely from a debasement OF silver.
Reinforced as the above action is by
the language of Secretary Foster at
the banquet of the New York Pro-
duce Exchange, it will start a new
wave OF agitation in favor of the free
coinage of silver. The action of Dem
ver's Mining Congress should be ap-
plauded throughout the whole West
aud South. The friends OF silver will
rejoice everywhere when the news
reaches them that nearly 500 repre-
sentative men with little or no debate
are spontaneously in favor of the
unlimited coinage of silver.

DIR. GILBERT'S METHODS.

A Practical Address to Sundays School
Teachers.
Rev. J. E. Gilbert, Superintendent Of the
International Sundsy-schoOi Institute, re-
sumed his course Of meetings last evening
in Central Methodist Church, when he
spoke on the subject, "The Teacher Teach
ing"
He said the supreme moment of a teach
er's life was the moment he appeared be-
fore his class, after properly studying the
methods of teaching, fully prepared to in
struct them to the best of his powers. He
gave practical Illustrations of his methods
from the opening of the class to the closing
exercises, and divided tie routine rs fol-
lows: Conversational, ca.echetical, recitatYe
ana lecture.
In this department Dr. Gilbert claimed
that If any kind of labor is required. it is
skilled labor The first thing TO be looked
after IN the classroom is the comfort of the
pupils. and, secondly, neither pupil nor
teacher should be allowed to have any other
book than the Bible. After brief opening
services Of praise and prayer, nothing
should be permitted to interfere with the
regular methods of instruct ion which would
mOre than fiji M the time allotted for the
special lesson of the day.
At the close of his address Dr. Gilbert
answered numerous questions that we're
submitted to him by teachers and parents
In tile audience. His next meeting will take
place at Calvary Presbyterian Church on
Friday evening, when the subject will be:
The Spiritual Natnre-HOw Nurtured."

to be most excellent woman, wearied of
her husband and left him and Gait The
husband, it is said, has an aversion to hard
work. Brewster took his wife's departure
greatly 10 heart ana sought to drown his
sorrow in a way very peculiar to a large
portion Of mankind. He finally sent word
to his wife that he was sick nigh unto death
and cxhOrted her To come back TO Gait and
see him die. The woman S sympathieS were
aroused and she FASTENED back TO Gait only
to find that her husband waS suffering from
no worse 2ilment than drunkenness. HaY-
ing satisfied herself on this uOint the woman
again shook the dust Of Gait from her feet
CD Friday last and the husband was
plunged more deeply into sorrow and gin.
He finally became so worked up that on
Sunday last he fred two shots from a re-
vOlVer at himself with suicidal intent but
his aim was bad and he escaped unhurt.
Last evening, however. Brewster procured a
bottle Of iudide of potassium and MS fanil-
iarity with the location of his mouth made
his aim more deadly than it had been with

TIT FOR TAT.
A Strike on One of the Sacramento River
Steamers.

Strike on One of the Sacramento River
Steamers.
There was a strike yesterday morning on
the San Joaquin No. 2, the bay steamer
that runs up the Sacramento River. When
she was about to leave Sacramento for this
city, the captain was surprised to find that
the entire crew OF deck hands had struck
for ali advance of S., and, as he could not
secure men at that place, be mad to give in.
In San Francisco, however, things are very
different. as the front is full of able-bodied
men willing to work for $40 month.
The strikers were taken all aback when
they were called into the Office and every
one of them paid off. In a short time
crew of Portuguese took the places of the
discharged, and then the old crew perceived
that mistake had been made, and at once
offered to 60 back for the former wages
but Manager Harvey informed them that
the company had no further use for their
services.
This made them angry, and the striker g
then undertook to drive the newcomers off
the steamer. Word was sent to the North
HarbOr station, and Officers Dover ami
MahOney were sent down and arrested big
fellow named Charles Hughin for disturb
ing the peace. The others took the hint,
and the steamer departed in peace.

The Michigan Furniture Company Burned
Out at EmeryvilIe.
There was a lively blaze at Emeryville
last night. The large frame building be-
longing to the Michigan Furniture Com
pany, and used by it as finishing house,
took fire shortly before o'clock. The
building was filed with oil and varnish
tanks, and made blaze that lit up the en-
tire harbor.
The alarm was turned in from the Judson
Iron Works, and was responded to by the
fire companies from Oakland aud the hook
and ladder truck from Brooklyn; but long
before the fire boys arrived the big building
was doomed. AS soon as the flames were
discovered Mr.. Fleely, Superintendent of
the JudsOn Works, turned out his entire
night furce, and their timely assistance be-
yond doubt saved several buildings close by,
and also a good deal of the furniture stored
In the burning building.
Sheriff Hussey, with several deputies, did
great deal also 10 keep the crowd back,
and by his orders the trains were slowed
down as they ran by the fire, which was
close to the track. The building and stock
were partly insured, and the total loss will
not fall far short of $4,000. This is the
second time within one year that the COM
pany has been burned out, and both times

This was open to the objection that il a

be attacked by parties who are openly OPP

the Government. After spending a great
deal OF time and money in preliminary sur
