position is worth seeking; and in those
positions the office always seeks the
man.
One of the most peculiar characters in
the worllhousc is Carl Carlson, or Cry
ing Carl" as he is dcnominatcd by his
fellow Migrants. He has an excellent
war record, was a brave soldier, COM
manded a company of infantry and was
three times wounded. Carl has become
n victim of the disease known as alco-
holism and he bcgs for liquor in every
saloon, until he becomes mellow enough
to weep, and then he goes along the
streets with streaming eyes, boo-hooing
like whipped baby, and assuring
every person who will listen to him
that he is dying for just one little drink
of stimulant. In this manner lie gets
more and more, until he falls into n
station house, and is transferred thence
to the worllhouse.
1t is unfortunate that there is no
separate worllhousc or rcformatory for
women in this District of Columbia,
They are hcrded together, almost like
cattle, save for the intervention and
gcneralship of the matron. There
should be widely separated houses and
grounds, so that the unfortunate and
degraded should not see nor hear of
their fellow-suffcrers of the other sex.
From the worlkhouse to the jail is
but few steps; and to the Jail many of
the worlShouse folks are graduated.
have been informed that Guiteau was in
the worlShousc for thirty days, under
an assumed name, in the spring of 1881.
The deputy warden of the Jail has
stated that which seems to me to be
unwritten history concerning Gritcau's
last moments. Immediately after the
death warrant had been read to the as
sassin, he turned to Gen. CroclScr the
warden, and TREMENDOUSLY said:
81 have one last favor to ask of you,
general; and that is, to let me give the
last signal SO that may know the very
instant that | am going"
The warden having given his consent,
Guiteau said: 81 will hold little bit
of paper in my pinioned hand and
when | am ready | will let the paper
quickly, SO that may know nothing
after dropping the paper"
AS soon as the criminal had complet-
ed his weird and crazy ceremony on the
scaffold, Gen. Crockcr kept his eyes
on Guitcau's hands. Suddenly, small
wad of paper FELL and, before it struck
the floor, she drop was sprung, and the
culprit was writing at the end of the
rope, while his soul, if such creatures
have souls, was vending its way to
another court and another sentence.

A Biz cloudburst at Berlin, N. Y.

BERLIN, N. Y, Aug. 2S.-A cloud burst
over this town and the town of
Petersburg last night, followed by a
food that did damage unparalleled in this
vicinity. Had the cloud burst after the
people had gone to bed the damage would
have been awful. AS it was, the wife of
Thomas Taylor was drowned and James
Smith was found dead standing in mud up
to his neck, horribly mangled. The Leba-
non Springs railroad, between here and
Petersburg, was washed in half dozen
places. The large railroad bridge is also
gone, besides number of houses wrecked
and crops destroyed. Part of the village
of Petersburg lying near the Little aoosick
was completely wrecked. A score OF resi-
dences and workshops were washed from
their foundations, and large quantity of
personal property destroyed. The loss in
that village will not be less than $4,000.
The loss in crops is very serious matter
tn the farmers.

The New Town Near La Plata.

OGDEN, Aug. 2S.-[Speclal telegram to
THE HERALD. l-E. r. Ridgely returned
last evening from the new mining region.
He came from where the location of the
new town is made. The town company,
composed prin cipally Of Ogden men, have
formed a town company and located 1t at
at the head of Middle fork at the junction
Cache valley and Ogden roads, two miles
south of La Plata and in Weber county.
The new town is located at a much more
available place than La Plata, being in a
guch several times wider and Just below a
spring of water at least four times larger
than that which flows through La Plata.
The stream is large enough to furnish
water for several thousand people. The
force would be enough to make splendid
system of waterworks. A large number of
tents are stsked on the site Of the new
town, and the foundations of several build
ings have been begun. At least fifty have
left La Plata in the last twenty four hours
and located here.
Claims are staked out all around the new
town. 1t is said some very promising ore
IS being taken out. Some, it is said is
equal to any found at La Plata City. Blast
ing is going on in all directions. No doubt
the new city will be in the heart of great
mining camp. Mr.. Ridgely reports a large
number of men at work on Middle ForB
road. The grade to La Plata City from the
new town is gradual ascent for over half
the way.

American consulate Other naval officers
followed suit. and soon there were enough
foreign sailors and marines on shore to
protect the city against any outbreak. The
streets of, the city by Il o'clock were filled
with q disorganized mob OF Balmacedan
soldiers.
The execution among the officers had
been terrific. In addition TO Generals Bar
bosa and Alzerreca, nearly all the staff Off
GERS have been killed or wounded, and
fatalities among the line officers have been
great. To avoid the bloodshed
which would probably have resulted
from the victorious army entering
the city, heated with the fire of battle,
Veil sent flag to General Canto with
proposition to surrender the city. 1t was
accepted and Seflor Walker Martinez, Con-
the city. Shortly after noon the victorious
army began to enter Valparaiso, led by
General Canto with his staff.
The insurgent troops were greeted
with the widest enthusiasm. The people
were wild with excitement and the streets
resounded of shouts of "Vlve Chilli Vlve
Canto!" Shortly after the army entered,
Captain F'euntos, OF the torpedo boat Al
mirante Lynch, was summoned TO surren-
der. He attempted to steam out and opened
fire with his machine guns. There was
sharp engagement and then Captain
Feuntos hauled down his flag and there
was not an enemy to the revolution from
fort Valdivia to Vina del Mar. During the
afternoon such of the government troops
as were in the city delivered up their arms
and were parolei. The city is as
quiet as could be expected. Nobody
here has aoy knowledge of the where
abouts of Balmaceda, although the insur-
gent leaders are exceedingly anxious 10
find him. The general belief is he is max
ing his way out of the country, perhaps
overland to BuenOS AyreS

LOGAN, L. T., Aug. IS. - Especial
telegram to TIE HERALD - The
richest strike yet made is on
ihe Cache Valley mine, Blacksmith
Fork canon An eight foot vein was found
1t depth of sixty feet. 1t is twenty-six
niles from Logan and about fifteen miles
north of La Plata. Prospectors are locat-
ing TO the north and rich finds continue to
be reported. There aretwenty prospectors

eral belt extends along the whole mountain
range east of Cache valley is being con-
firmed by the discoveries of each day. The
excitement and interest at La Plata con-
tinues undated. The road from Logan
there will be finished by Tuesday next.
Talk of moving the town of Ia Plata into
Weber county is so inexpressibly absurd
that locators there laugh at it. The biggest
town viii be located at Mineral point, six

MITCHELL ACCEPTS.
He Will Fight COrbett for
Twenty-Five Thousand a Side.
1t Must Be to Ftnish-A Private Room and
Bare Knuckles Preferred-Ihe
Choice Of Location.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dlspatch.l
New YoRK, Aug. 2S.-A Herald cable from
London says through the Herald, Mitchell
formally takes up Corbett's challenge to
fight for SO, 600 side. He is ready to de-
post money furnished by his tather-in-
law, Pony Moore, as soon as Corbett, by
cable, announces his acceptance. In add
ton Mitchell authorizes your correspond
ent to say he has English friends willing TO
back him for 100000 against Corbett. 1t
must be fight to a tiniah. Corbett can de-
eide whether the fight is to be in America
or in England. If in America. Mitchell
wants to name the exact location if in
England. Corbett can name the location.
Pony Moore says he will put up as much
money as Corbett likes, The fight can be
with bare knuc6les or with small gloves,
but Mitchell prefers knuckles. Mitchell
says he wants to fight for money and an
honest reputation, not for the cheers of
the crowd at the ring side. If Corbett
agrees TO his ideas. he is willing to fight in
private with nobody present but press rep
resentatives and say five men on each side,
to be named by himself and Corbett. The
main thing is that Mitchell wants to avoid
the usual controversies. He means bust
ness and believes Corbett does. The fight
should come off in three months from tho
time of making the deposit. MITCHELL
friends believe more decisive fight can be
had if in private, thus getting rid OF all
talk about either fighters crowd overawing
the referees. On the other hand, if Cor
bett wishes crowd present Mitchell will
not object. The thing OF chief importance
| is to have the money put up a. once and
| get to business.
