TO the county Jail Yesterday and two others
will have a hearing before Judge Sanders
this afternoon on 4 similar charge. John
Connolly, Thomas Crawford and John Car
ney were tried before Judge Sanders yester-
day on the charge OF taking two o%vercoats
from a Main street saloon. Connolly asked
for a separate trial. claiming that he did
not know the other two men. This, Of
course, Was refused. II WIS In evidence

Tuesday drinking, and that whom they
started out Of the door the bar
keepers ehinchilln cont and the
clerks coon skin coA went with
them. Carney claimed to be 50
drunk that he could not distinguish the
coonskin coat from hi s own cloth coat.
Judge Sanders gave Carney. ninety days in
jail, and the other two sixty days each
after they had consented to plead guilty TO
petit larceny. Connolly at first refused to
do this, saying he would go TO Jail tor a
1000 years first. He afterwards relented.
Policemen Callahan and LvnCn Ounoo
up two more men last night on similar
charges. They gave tho names Of Jack
Woods and John O'Leary, and they are
charged with taking two overcoats, one I'm
d%ercoat, a vest, and a iaprobe which did not
belong to them. Most OF the things were
taken from lodging houses, but the laprobe
was taken from Ziegler's stable while an
employee was buying one of the stolen over
coats from the two man for 30 cents. The
officers think they awe y clear case ON
Woods and O'Leary, as n Of them has
shown a disposition to tell on the other.

Corinne.


The Brooklyn Times, in speaking of a
coming attraction, says:
Little Corinne and her operatio burlesque
of monte Cristo, Jr.," met with q pro-
nounced success last season at the Brook
lyn theatre, and returned to that establish
ment last night for a weeks %sojourn. The
petite queen of burlesque received a royal
welcome from an audience that filed the
house. Monte Cristo, Jr.,'' is a London
craze, improved and adapted for the Ameri-
can market. and ia q positive go" Cor
inne, as she appeared in the dual role Of
Dantes and Monte Crlsto, Jr.," impressed
those who had seen and admired her tai
ents before that she was wonderfully I'M
proved in voice, form. features
and chic, and WAS even more charm
ing inc piquant than ever. Her
gorgeous costumes, in the count of
Monte Cfisto. brought out the beauty~of
the winsome little artist She sang exquis-
itely, danced airily, and captured and cap
tivated her auditors at will. Encores mul-
tiplicd with such rapidity that the little
charmer could not respond to them.
"Monte Cristo, ST." was constructed for
fun-making qualities only, and it il above
par in that regard. It is conspicuous for
its parking and original music. gorgeous
scenic effects. brilliant costumes, pretty
ballet girls, military drills and marches;
indeed, it is a potpouri of everything catch
ing to the eye and ear.

Wanted the Earth.

The above play with John Dillon in the
leading role will be presented at the opera
house tonight. This piece has been re-
written; new business putin and established
on a somewhat more modern basis, but
still retains it's pure moral features, which
has so thoroughly stamped it with success.
Mr.. Dillon is given a great latitude, and
fortunately has an opportunity to show
himself AZ the master comedian, whose
peerless place he has sustained for so many
years. He is not compelled, during the en-
tire action of the play to resort to low com-
edy to provoke a smile. The plot is said to
be real and not unnatural; the situations
IRE intensely pathetic and humorous, conn
bined, and with dialogue and action brisk
and devoid Of dull lines, and an admirable
support to Mr.. Dillon's central figure,

A Gard from Mr.. Fioyd-Jones.

L. II. Hershield's interview on the char
ter in TEL INDEPENDENT is characteristic
of the man. Not satisfied with betraying
his egotistical ignorance Of the document,
he insists on imputing wrong motives and a
lack of patriotism to fourteen men who
devoted thirty days time and considerable
a%ration. He says the new charter is a
scheme On the part of men interested in
outlying property to improve their hold
ings at public expense. There are only
three large holders of realty on the COM
mission, and it is an insult to the intelli-
gsnce OF the other members to assume
that they were SO grossly hoodwinked.
The charter provides that additions adj
joining the city may be brought into the
city and thus subjected to city taxes. 1t
also provides that all street improvements
paid by abutting property. Thus sewers
grading, paving and sidewalks must be
made at private expense.
It is too much the custom among men of
Hersh6eld's stamp on every occasion to
cast q slur on real estate men and / want to
the fraternity generally. There is no class
of men who take SO much interest or work
30 persistently for the welfare of the CITY
and in proportion to their means subscribe
SO literally to projects for its Advancement.
We realize that the prosperity Of the city is
advantage of the knowledge when subscrip-
lions are taken for charity-or any public
purpose.

One thoroughly reliable variety is
worth more than hundred of
doubtful character. With a good
mellow soil, all needed preparation
is to manure with no stinted hand,
and then pillow deep and Thoroughly.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
the young orchard receive a good
send off; after that, if cultivated care.
fully for few years, meanwhile crop
ping with vegetables, there will be
no cessation of growth in the trees.
This part of the programme is gem
orally carried out, but, after cropping
with vegetables ceases, how many
people ever fertiize the soil or care
for the trees? More failures result
from this cessation of surface culture
and proper pruning, than from at
tacks of insects, which, under pre-
ventives and treatment of recent
years, are not considered a serious
obstacle. How to place ones fruit
properly on the market may seem a
minor point, but when we preceive
customers calling, year after year, for
packages bearing the imprint of some
noted orchardists, there must be a
reason for it, and the solution is, that
the fruit is carefully and evenly
selected, preserved in first>class con-
dition, and is, in short, just what the
invoice calls for.

Sowing Wheat.

Experiments in various methods
Of seeding wheat have been conduct
ed for a series of years at the Ohio
Experiment Station, with the follow
ing results:
In the average of four years expert
ment, wheat covered one inch or less
has produced at the rate Of thirty
four bushels per acre; that covered
two inches has produced thirty-five
bushels, and that covered three
inches, thirty-four bushels. Judging
from smaller number of expert
ments it does not seem advisable tc
SOW deeper than three inches.
In the average ofsix years, wheat
sown with roller press drill has
yielded about eight per cent. more
than that sown with the ordinary
drill. More or less increase has fol-
lowed the roller press in almost ev-
cry season, but a single trial has
given results unfavorable to the use
of the common roller after seeding.
Broadcast wheat has this year yielded
about the same as that drilled; but
in the average Of five years the pro-
duce from broadcast seed is consider.
able smaller than from the same
quantity of seed drilled. The results
of seven years experiments point
clearly to the latter part of Septem'
Der or first Of October as the most fl,
vorable season for sowing wheat on
this farm. A single experiment
made this year, fails to show any adj
vantage in favor ofcross-drilling over
sowing the same quantity of seed in

SACRED TO THE MEMORY
OF
ED. SCHEFLIEN.
He went prospecting to a
new country.

1.-THE brother was sorry for the loss, but
then he had warned him and it could
not be helped. The Indians had scalped
him.
About week after he had finished
his job and put it in front of the tent, in
jumped the brother, wild looking, but
beaming with joy.
"'Shake, old man, / have found it, he
said to the stay at home; its lying all
around He then began to empty his
pockets of the glittering quartz that he
had taken to prove his statement. And
it was so.
Away up in the gulch he had found
one of the richest mining grounds in the
territory. But he was always peculiar
cuss, this Ed. He and his brother and a
man named Gurd started out for the
place with supplies and tools. He named
this mine the Toughnut because he had
found it pretty hard after he had dis
covered it. There were times when he
would have sold it for drink of water.
The next one they discovered they called
the Goodenough mine. When they
came to the next one they had little
falling out, and he named it the Con-
tention. The latter is the one am in
terested in. These were all disposed OF
by him for handsome sum. And he is
now three times millionaire.
"The tombstone is one of his choicest
relics, and he would not part with it for
its weight in gold. Many attempts have
been made to change the town by
boomers who argue that the strange
and gruesome title keeps out Eastern
capital, and by the new corners. Legis-
lators have been elected pledged to in
troduce a bill for that purpose, but Ed
with his money is always on hand to OPP
pose it. y Denver Republican.

How the Arizona Town CalSs to &c
Its Extraordinary Name.


How the Arizona Town Car4s to Get
Its Extraordinary Name.
When the late Mathew Arnold was in
this country he took exceptions, among
other things to the names of our cities.
So did Historian Froude. They said we
went to the classics and outraged history
for cognomens to designate dugouts and
"boom" towns. Their cultured souls
Were affected.
But they never heard of Tombstone,
Arizona. That is an American name.
The effete cast would never have thought
of such an appropriation, How did it
come by the funeral title? This is ques-
ton that is asked almost every time the
town is mentioned and but few are able
to answer.
Conjectures, and they are many, are
put to rest under a tombstone, it might
be said, by the aid of Mr. c. G. Warner,
of the Contention mine, Tombstone, who
agreed to relate to reporter yesterday
how it received its Western name. Mr..
Warner has been in Tombstone almost
since its inception and passed through
Denver yesterday on his return from
Canon City.
Its quite as simple and natural as the
name is strange and queer how it re-
ceived its christening, he said. "There
were two brothers-one, and probably
both, living yet-by the name of AL. and
Ed. Schetlien. (You will observe that
there is connection between the names
and the town-shuf1iing off the mortal
coil and then the Tombstone.) Well, it's
not often that I perpetrate joke, but
this Colorado air makes fellow do many
strange things. But l am wandering.
The Schefiens were, of course, prospect
ors, and kept hanging about there for
some time without doing much. The
Apache Indians were around pretty thick.
Finally one day Ed. Scheflien prepared to
start ont on a prospecting tour up the
gulch. His brother tried to persuade him
to abandon his project, pointing out that
the Indians would devour him or that he
would get lost in the ravine; but all to
no purpose. Just as he was about to
start he told his brother to look after a
piece of rock that he had found near tho
camp.
"'Yes, 1 will use it for your tomb
otone, said Al. sadly, and away went the
more go ahead brother.
Time passed, but there were no It'd
:ngs of the foolhardy brother Weeks
went and he did not put in an appear
ance. The brother, true to his promise,
proceeded to carve in rude letters in the
quartz rock an inscription which ran:
