Two men killed and several others wounded in February last; tive men just convicted of murder in the sec ond degree and sentenced to life imprisonment. leaving two women and several children worse than widowed and orphaned, is the result of running personal and highly sensational journal in Columbus, Ohio. The paper was the Sunday Capital. Its two editors, who were recently convicted of murder, were named Elliott.
 An erroneous impression seems to prevail in the community in regard to the action taken by the United States attorney before the grand jury The impression has obtained that he has instigated these investiga- tions on his own motion for the fee that there is in it for drawing the indictments, etc. While the United States attorneys salary is gauged by fees like the salaries of many other United States officials there is max imum allowed by law, and whenever the fees exceed this amount they are turned into the government if col lected, and if payable by the United States are not collectable. In the case of the United States attorney of this territory the maximum salary is always realized so that this idea that he realizes any benefits from the fees chargeable in these eases il will be seen is an erroneous one. Again. as a matter of fact the United States attorney has not instituted single investigation before the grand jury but has simply presented to that body, as is his duty, such eases as complaints have been made to him.

IN MEMORY OF JOHN HUGUEN0T MARION, DfrD my 27ru. 1891.
There arc still some fes remaining Who remind us of the past, - - ss ". ss

There arc still some fes remaining Who remind us of the past, But they change. ali thlnEs change here- Nothing ia this world can lss,."
 Again We are called upon to mourn 1 the loss of one, bound to us by the mystic tie. John II. Marion, after a life of labor, has obeyed the sum mons of the Grim Tyrant and gone into the unknown dark" The hon ors paid to his remains, the eulogies spoken at his grave, the tributes pub lished by his brethren of the press, show that his work on earth was not unappreciated. It remains for us to tell of his Masonic life, and place his record in our archives.
 Brother Marion was initiated in Aztlan Lodge No. IF, January s9th, ls69, at the age of thirty-four, and remained a member until death. His profession, entailing as it did much night work, did not permit hiln to be very regular in his attendance, and 1t Is probably due to this reason that he never held any office. He was none the less lover of the In- stitution and early learned to prae- tice its sublime teaching cf Charity. At the last session of the Most Wor- shipful Grand Lodge, he was app pointed W. Grand Orator, and by his death the Graft has been deprived of a characteristic oration. Like others who take no prominent part and are not conspicuous m our Institution, Brother Marion served faithfully and will long be missed; thus proving that they who perform their duty even in private station are justly en- titled to our esteem and respect as he who is invested with supreme authority.
 To the widow and the orphans of our deceased brother we have. in the language of our ritual. ''but little of this worlds consolation to present" But when time shall have soothed their grief. may they find in this re- cord of our esteem for our departed brother, that consolation which spoken words cannot give.
 The silver chord is loose<l: the wheel
 of life and golden bowl are broken;
 The sunny days return no more:
 Thcle comes through every avenue the token That desth Is knocking at the door,.

The narbed Wire rrus,.

CRicAeo. Aug. 3.-The Barb Wire T rust goes into effect to-day, and
 an immediate increase in the prices of this material may be expected. The only licensed manufacturers who are out of the deal are the Cleveland Barb-Wire Company, of Cleveland; the Superior Barb Wire Company. of De kalb. Ills, and Ja- cob Haish, of De Kalb. Under the trust the manufacturers will sell all their output to the Columbia Patent Company, and this corpora ton will have entire control of fully ninety per cent of the entire pro duct. The manufacturers will also pay an increased royalty of three dollars per ton. the present royalty being one dollar, and to meet this prices must necessarily be ad- yanced IL is thought that the few licensed manufacturers who are still holding out will come into the fold before many weeks. If the present trust Is successful. the agricultural classes will reap no advantage from the titt that tut patent tAplTcH tNp years hence, from the simple fact that the monopoly will be so strong that 1t will be enabled, if necessary. to undersell, and consequently to crush out any competitors that may be inclined to try competition with it. No manufacturer, or com bination of minor manufacturers, it Is boasted. will be able to hold its own against the Columbia. An in- crease in the price of barb-wire from s2.75 to $50 per hundred lbs. may be expected within week. The Washburn Moeu Company has, of course, the big end of the combina- ton, having been given the privilege of manufacturing forty thousand tons of wire annually free of royalty. When the advance goes into elect, therefore, this company will in- crease it's present profits by six hun dred thousand dollars annually, without any increase of expense.

Baby Seals.

The sea lions have returned to Lion Rock. They set up howl and commenced quarreling and fighting to celebrate the event, and to let us know they had arrived. As surely as the swallow flies south, so surely do these lions or seals take them selves away to the grassy seas many miles from shore in the ocean deep, where they breed and have their young. They generally return about June l4th, and the deep, guttural growl of those old males can be heard for two miles. We would naturally suppose the little cubs could swim the same as little ducks and fish, but they cannot swim at all until taught by their mother, and are almost as helpless and would drown almost as quickly as baby. The mother takes the little one out to sea on her back, then slips from under it and watches it, ready to help if it goes under. The male. who generally has half a dozen wives. goes along to superintend the busi- ness, and if it is not performed satis- factorily to him, he gives the mother sound threshing. The little ones are several weeks old before they take their first swimming lessons. They are a beautiful silvery gray color and have black spots on them. This time of the year they are often found where they have lost their mothers and washed ashore. They utter plaintive cry that sounds like 'mamma;' and though they have no teeth when young, they snap vici- ously. They are easily tanned and live to be quite old as pets, taking daily trips to the ocean for bath, when 1t is not over quarter of mile distant.-Ex

Me,hoal., Church to be Rebuilt.

Wgthtutet snaEtn tt ts fs'H*htr
 A meeting of members and friends of tho Methodist church was held at the parsonage last evening, to dis cuss the loss of the church build ing, and to take some action m re- gard to having it repaired or rebuilt The number in attendance was not very large, but what was lacking in numbers was made up in the enthu- siasm of those present. W. IL. Throne, who made an examination of the burned building reported the inadyissbility of attempting to re- pair it, and recommended the cree ton of new building, sn estimate having been received during the day from a contractor for the cree ton of one at probable cost of about xsO00. Rev. c, F. Spray, Professor l.. W. Taylor and A. A. Johns were appointed as a commit tee to solicit subscriptions, and subscription paper was presented to those present, which was started with two subscriptions of $500 each and four others of smaller amounts, aggregating in all SS50 The socie- ty hopes to receive some aid for their new building from the Church Extension Society of the demomina- ton. while the fact of its being the oldest church in the town and proba- bly the oldest protestant church in the territory, causes pride on the part of many to have it rebuilt. In order to procure funds Tor this pur pese, the ladies of the church have decided to reorganize the Ladies Aid Society. and meeting for this purpose will be held tomorrow. They will also serve ice cream, on the first floor of the Prescott opera house, after the close of the per formance of the Peaka Sisters, the proceeds of which will be given to the church.

Secretary. Salary E.aaa..,nr the Fund.


 NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The Grant monument association comes down to bedrock business principles to- day. Up to last night it had been paying its secretary salary of twenty-four hundred dollars per year. This is now cut of and every cent hereafter contributed to the fund will be devoted to the actual erection of the monument. The total of the fund now in the bank is in the neighborhood of Sl55,OO0, and the interest which this IS drawing is about sufficient to pay for the concrete foundation of the crypt, the work of excavation for which is now going on under the supervision of contractor James Brady.

 that said justice on the 18th day of
 July, 1891, openly stated that he
 proposed to hold affiant to answer upon said charge, and that he would not admit him to bail; and affiant states that since the 18th day of July, 1891, in all these proceedings the actions of the said justice, have not been those of an afficial whose aim was that only equal and impar tial justice should be meted out be- tween the parties but his whole course has been that of prosecut- ing officer intent upon heaping as much indignity upon affiant and causing him as much annoyance and trouble as be possibly could. That the said justice is also a witness in the above entitled cause" On con clusion of the reading of the affidavit Justice Huson immediately gave proof of the truth of it so far as the allegations of bias on bis part were concerned, by pronouncing it false in every particular and refusing to grant the change of venue.
