From soon after the dinner hour until dark
has been heard the lusty cries of newsboys
and frequently heard ladies remark Il
am tired aud sick of hearing so much abont
that murder trial and | shall feel very glad
when it is over" One afternoon colored
man approached me aud said "Boss, do
you thuk Lingo killed that woman"
Yes, think he is guilty. Don't you read
the papers?" "No'he replied, II can't read.
My name is Thomas Young. Lingo work
ed Tor me on the day OF the murder. He

If he killed Mrs. Miller hanging is too

By the time the MONITOR reaches its
readers the question III the public mind as
| to whether or not the jury will render
verdict Of guilty will have been answered.
The Philadelphia papers published the pro-
ceedings of the trial in a burleseue way,
| while the Camden Courssr, Post and other
dalies in this city furnished a full and
truthful statement of each days doings.
1t takes politician to write or talk on
political subjects. but anybody can tell
when the science of government is i'm
properly studied. Let me tell your readers
how caucus meeting was conducted here.
Two Republicans, one named Cooper the
other named Lane, strived to secure the
same office. Cooper asked the support of
the good" people of Camden, and Lane
rallied the tough element aud sec ured
the nomination but not fairly. Some of
the challenged voters were seized and
dragged from the polling place, minors
voted and were paid fifty cents for their
votes. One young man, and a minor at
that, | was told voted nine times and
secured a dollar for each time he voted.
Lane, of course, was the regular candi-
date and got elected. Talk about reform
and purity of ballot. ForsooLh.
Hundreds of people in this city are on
the wild cat train or rapid transit route to
wealth. For thirty or forty dollars,
within year or few months you receive
hundred dollars. People are deprivirg
themselves of mary luxuries and even
necessaries of life in order to keep up with
their payments, but the time is coming
when thousands will ges left out in the
cold and will sadly regret they ever at
tempted to accumulate wealth by trying
TO make something out of nothing. A
dirty shirt, horny haud and sweated
brow are the safest investments to insure
income, aud though it may be small it is
all The more enjoyed because it is fairly
and honestly earned. PANTsINBooTs.

VIOLENT MUD ERUPTIONs.

Details of the Earthquakes at the
 Head of the Gulf of California-The Thrilling Story of Indians-The
 Tidal Waves.
 YUMA, A. T., Aug. 9.-Reports continue to come in from the earthquake region at the head of the Gulf of California. Two Cocopah Indians of the tribe that live near there arrived here yesterday. They tell a thrilling story. Early Thursday morning hundreds of mud volcanoes thirty miles of burst into violent eruption The air grew denser and many infants were suffo- cated. At last thunder storm cleared the air only to show the tidal waves ap. preaching with frightful rapidity. The waters rose, swallowing their cattle, horses, grain fields, and driving them for their lives to the top of the mesas 100 feet high above the river. The earthquake shocks then began. The fourth threw every one darkened the air The rumble of the earthquake, the sharp explosions ot the Desplant volcano and the bel lowing of the dying cattle made unbearable the uproar and frightened In dians broke and fled wildly up the river Two only succeeded in reaching here who tell the story. The others dropped ex hausted along the route. Jose Perez, g cattle man, and five white men witnessed the scene from the top of hill to whicf they escaped. The top of the tidal wave was about 100 feet and also a river oi bluish- purple fire which was flowing dow1 into the Colorado, near the gulf. This ii undoubtedly from the Sulphur mountain ,l,s sol> c. fhn D burning material thrown out by the vol canoes. Much property was destroyed | The residence and all valuable building on the ranch of Charles Townsend breeder of fine cattle, were levelled by tn earthquake.
