FROZEN IN his GRAVE.
A Solitary Miners Unique Way of
Ending Eis Life.

A Solitary Miners Unique Way of
Ending Eis Life.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The tragedy
of a solitary miner, in q remote part Of
Sierra Nevada, was revealed a few days
ago when the sheriff of Fresno county,
searching for two murderers, discovered
the body of man imbedded in grave of
ice.
The sheriff's party found some miners
tools in an almost inaccessible canyon, and
after searching about, suddenly came upon
a dead man lying at the bottom of rude
grave with six feet of ice over him. He
had evidently cut the grave in solid granite.
This done. it seems, he laid down in the
grave. placed large rock across his thighs
and drowned himself as the grave slowly
filled with water from little streams which
the melted snow sent into it.
Although midsummer, yet the grave was
filled with ice that had not melted this
year. The ice was transparent and the
dead man in the bottom of the grave was
plainly visible, the body being as well pre-
served as il be had died but yesterday,
though there can be but little doubt he COM
mitted suicide last fall.
Near by they found note, written with
lead pencil: MY name is Dave Menear. l
have lived like a devil | Will die like
man aud be - like devil Nov 20"
The theory is that he was driven mad by
disappointment, as the mine where ne had
worked was worthless.

A FUGITIVE FROM RUSSIA.

Jewish Societies of New York
Endeavoring to Prevent Ris Return.
NEW YORK, July 19.-Thirty immi-
grants, all Russian Jews, are in the deten-
ton bureau at the barge office, awaiting
the decision of the superintendent of i'm
migration. 1t is probable that they will all
be sent back, as each one has been assisted. ="
One of the detained immigrants. Mende
Rogalski, a young man of 20, carpenter
by trade, tells a thrilling story of his own
adventures and sufferings in Russia. he
became suspect while working at his trade
in Riga. and to escape Siberia, which was
inevitable, he fed from city to city, pur-
sued constantly.
TAKEN PRISONER
He was finally taken prisoner, beaten and
treated most inhumanely, and prepared for
Siberia, when he again manag ed to escape.
He succeeded IN reaching the frontier, and
by the assistance of his cOuntrymen was
sent to Hamburg. Here he was further
assisted and left for America. He has no
means, having been robbed of his little saw
ings for six years when he was taken pris-
oner in Russia, and he says if he is caught
again in that country he will be put to
death. The Jewish societies have taken
hold Of his case.
LETTING UP IN SEVERITY.
ST.. PETERSBURG, July 19.-The per-
secution of the Jews has been somewhat
relaxed. The decree for the expulsion of
Jewish artisans from this city has been in
definitely postponed and renewed orders
have been sent to the press to refrain from
publishing articles likely to excite animosity
against the Jews.
