Miss Lillian Lewis, who appears at the
opera house on Friday and Saturday is
not only a very talented actress but is re-
markedly strong and well up in athletic
sports. A short time ago she won a dia-
mond necklace from her manager under
the following circumstances:
In travelling from Little Rock to Hot
Springs something was said about run
ming up hill, and Miss Lewis laid a wager
that she would run from the creek up the
p%recipice to the DEVILS Garden (64O
yards). The place Is situated in a noun
tain gorge; the path lies over boulders of
rock through great jagged lifts, and is al
most perpendicular. 1t is a rough but
picturesque place; as Miss Lewis said,
1T looks as though the gods, in a fit of
anger, had come here and hammered
things" In telling a friend about it,
MISS Lewis said: II won the necklace,
but heaven save me from such an
other trip. Talk about being testersl

A. c. CAMpBELL ArpoInTEp.
The New CITY Attorney to Succeed
Mr.. Potter.

The city council met yesterday after
noon to finish some business which had
been laid over. All the councilmen we're
present excepting Messrs. Bond and
He.lman.
There was some bills left over from the
regular meeting but they we're moi passed
upon as the council desired further time
in which to consider them.
His honor, the mayor, announced that
the resignation of Mr.. c. n. Potter was
on the table and proceeded to make a
few very pleasant remarks concerning the
same.
He said in substance: u regret ex-
ceedingly that | have to receive the resig-
nation of Mr.. Potter as city attorney. 1
have had a good deal of business with
him during my official career and it has
always been pleasant. l had the honor to
present his name for confirmation. to the
city council, when l was mayor in
1879 and that was the beginning
OF his career as a city official.
l truly regret that his duties are SO
numerous as to compel him to resign his
office. He is city attorney. attorney gen.
eral of the state and alsu attorney for the
Burlington. Although we differ in poll
tics and when in the political arena fight
against each other, when politics are laid
aside and we meet for business in our
official capacities, our relations have al
ways been most cordial and pleasant.
When we came into consultation at the
council meeting his advice has always been
courteously given and was always of value.
He offered to hand in, some time ago, his
resignation but as | wished him to con-
clude some very important matters then
on hand, 1t was Withheld. As it il 1 wish
him success in his future undertakings.
Mr.. B~resnahen's speech was well re-
ceived by the majority of the council.
After the mayor had spoken Mr.. Har-
rington arose to ask whether the ~resigna-
ton was presented to the mayor or to the
council as we'll. and wanted to have the
clerk read the document.

ter rose to make a few remarks. He ap-
preciated very much the remarks made by
the mayor and also, as he had stated in
his letter, the good feeling always diplsyed
toward him by the council. He regretted
that his other public duties compelled him
to resign, and as his time was out he
handed in his resignation.
Mr.. Robins presented the following
resolution:
| move that the council extend their
hearty thanks to Hon. G. N. Potter, the
retiring city attorney, for the very efficient,
courteous and geDtlemanly manner in
which he has at all times assisted the
mayor and council in the discharge of
their duty, aud that our best wishes be
extended to him for his future success:
that we accept his official resignation with
regret and that this resolution be spread
on the journal of the council.
The resolution was adopted without
one dissenting vote.
His honor announced that he would
appoint Mr.. A. c. Campbell to fill the
vacant position until he could be confirmed
at the next meeting.
The council then adjourned.

SACRAMENTO, June 3.-Justice of the
Peace W. A. Henry was sitting in his of
fee when two men drove up in a cart and
one of them, about SIS years old, asked o
see the judge privately. He said his name
was John Sewald and that he lived on a
ranch a few miles south of here near SUIT
t~erville. He said his conscience had been
~torturing him for two years and he had
decided to make a confession and take the
consequence.
Sewald was accompanied bv his eldest
SON, and as the latter never heard of his
fathers crimes, the old man requested
him TO lear the confession. Sewald then
said that he had murdered " wives
eleven years ago. He said he lived in
Ohio with his wife Catherine and four
children. His wife began to drink and it
became impossible to live longer with
her. He took two OF the children and
fed to Minnesota. settling at a place
called Anoka. A few months later his
wife followed him and the unhappy life
was resumed.
Finally, Sewald says, he became so ex.
asperated at his wiie's drunkenness that
he concluded to put an end to it. He
purchased arsenic and put it in her
whisky. She died IN two days, and he
buried her without creating any suspicion.
Three years later Sewald moved with
his children to Wayne, Neb., and married
again. His second matrimonial venture,
according to his story, was worse than the
first, and he had succeeded so well the
first time in Kidding himself of his wife,
that he tried it again. This time he
s~mothered his wife with the bed clothes.
The coroner of Wayne Investigated the
case, but could get no evidence and Sc
valid escaped. He came to California
then and took up his residence near here.
Justice Henry believes hat Sewald
tells the truth. Neighbors who have
known him during his residence here say
that he is not insane, but morose over
trouble The matter was reported tC
Sheriff Stanley. who took Sewald into
custody at his own request until the mat,
ter has been investigated.

The vivid and stupendous processes in
modern iron working, with their remark
able capabilities of representation on
canvas, have been availed of, it appears,
in most attractive manner by Ger
man artist, Adolf Menzel. In great
picture, the "Cyclop's Workshop" there
is represented the interior Of large iron
foundry, with its giant steam hammer,
its blast and pudding furnaces, and its
huge cylinders, that roll out glowing
masses of iron of vast weight as If they
were but soft paste. One Of these glow
ing masses forms the center around
which the interest Of Menzel's picture
moves.
1t has passed through the first rollers,
and is being taken up with great tongs
by the foremost workmen in order to be
passed on to the second. proceeding
that involves prodigious exertion of
strength. Other workmen are employed
in different processes-some directing
the machinery, one in the foreground
wheeling away a newly forged cylinder
on barrow, Others are undergoing a
very necessary process of publication
and shirt changing, while others again
are seen In group in the background,
already beginning their midday meal,
and in the background of all is dimly
visible the iron and steam monster that
supplies the motive force for all this
wonderful work. New York Sun

with a large head, which he wore in

of the wagon had neglected to fasten to

Suddenly the horse cast his eyes to

ear. An abandoned newspaper had drift
