After Jefferson River Gold.

There is an excellent prospect that the
rich bars on the jefferson river, just below
Three Forks, will be made this season to
Weld their treasures. Though it has long
been known these bars are rich in gold, 1t
is so fine that heretofore it has been i'm
possible to save it. A new amalgamati
process for saving fine gold was success
fully operated near Denver last year, and
this process will be made use. OF on the

THE movement of China toward mon
citing silver will be narrowly watched
by students of finance. A correspondent
of the London Financial News, writing
from Shanghai, says: THE friends of
the silver dollar. and the millions who
in England are beginning to recognize
the 0 issues which depend upon
some fixed settlement of the ratio be-
tween that metal and gold, will be glad
to hear that there is a prospect Of
China, in the not remote future, playing
an important and unlocked for part IN
the monetization of silver. | am not at
all inclined to take a sanguine view Of
anything that China may do; but there
is a very fair prospect of something like
a general reform IN the currency of the
empire taking place. From remote an
tiquity the only medium of exchange in
has been that horrible numismatic at
rocity, the copper cash, which is carried
about in strings a yard long, fastened
. together by a bamboo fiber cord through
the square holes in their c%enters. But
this year the newly-established mint il
Canton has commenced to coin dollars
and various other subsidiary coins
ranging in value from five cents to fit,
cents, and the new currency, despit,
some opposition, is rapidly gaining il
favor in the south"

A WHOLESALE LYNCHING.
TIME In THE
STREETS OF NEW WORLEANs.

The Slcilian Assassins Found Not
Guilty by the Jury and the En-
ragged People go to the Jail and
Hang and Shoot the NIurslerers.
New ORLEANS, March 14.-Tn the Hen
nessey case yesterday afternoon the Jury
rendered the following verdict as to
those charged with being guilty of mur-
dering Chief of Police Hennessey: Mis-
trial as to Holizzo. Not guilty as to
Macheca. Marchesi, Bagnette, Marchesi,
the boy. Cardoni and Matranga.
The afternoon papers got out extras,
spreading the news of the mis-trlal far
and wide. Intense excitement was
thereby created and as if by one impulse
the people began to flock to the square
around the Clay statue. There speeches
were made by several persons indig-
nantly criticising the finding of the jury.
As the speaking proceeded there were
cries of Lynch them" and when the
meeting adjourned it was to go to the
Parish prison, which was soon sur.
rounded by several thousand people.
The doors were forced open and six of
the Siciian assassins were either shot or
hanged
The killed are: Manuel Pallet, Pietro
Monastorio, Antonio Scaffed, Jos. P.
Macheca, Antonio Marchesi and Anto-
MO Bagnettl.
The excitement is at fever heat in the
city and the streets are thronged with
people discussing the lynching and t he
finding of the jury.

IT'S FIRST FORM.
How the Improvement Bill Went
to Raleigh.

to Raleigh.
From correspondent at Raleigh THE
CITIZEN has learned few facts concern
ing the manner in which the much-dis-
cussed appropriations bill was passed.
The bill as 1t was finally passed by the
legislature, differs vitaly from the form
in which it was first introduced. City
Attorney Cobb. after consultation with
a number of citizens at meeting called
for that purpose, went to Raleigh and
had the bill introduced in the house. As
the bill read then it gave the board of
aldermen of Asheyille absolute authority
to issue bonds to the amount of $780,
600 for the improvement of the city's
streets.
Had it passed that way, the people Of
Asheville would not have been allowed
to vote on the proposition at all
The bill was referred to the house com
mittee on corporations, to be reported
on. Representative Mark l.. Reed, in
the committee room, in the presence of
Mayo. Blanton, who had been tele-
graphed for, Mr.. Cobb and several others,
declared that it was an injustice to the
voters of Ashevile to allow the bill to
pass in it's original shape.
After that it was considered advisable
to change the bill, allowing the voters a
chance to say at the polls whether or
not they desired to have the city i'm
proved. That change was made, and in
that shape it was passed.

The VTaual Result when am Insane
Asylum Takes Fire-The saved
Inmates Hudiled Together in
OuthOuses.

NASHVILLE, March 14.-The beautiful
Central insane asylum seven miles from
this city is almost a mass of ruins, and
beneath it are the charred bodies of half
a dozen inmates. In the out houses near
by are huddled the poor demented Great.
ures who found an asylum in the struc-
ture now laid in ashes.
At 1915 last night tongue of flame
broke through the roof on the western
main wing.
An alarm was given and tour hundred
inmates of the institution were thrown
into wild commotion.
Twenty-eight men were in the wing
when the fire caught and twenty-five of
them were quickly removed to the main
hall. The other six were left to their
fate behind the impossible wall Of fame.
The loss is heavy, but the building was
insured.
