UNITED IN DEATH.
CRAWLING, Mich, Aug. 29.-James
Burns has been living on fern
near Red Oak for four years. He
was As years old, apparently Of con-
siderable means and cHlture, and
lived quietly with a handsome girl
Is years old, whom he said was his
daughter Alice. Burns had not
been seen for several days, but the
neighbors paid no attention to the
matter, as he was reserved, and
seemed to care only for his daughter
Yesterday Herman Grosty went TO
the house, but could not get in. He
ouud a famishing horse in tue
barn and then broke in the rear
door Of the house. A horrible stencil
nearly drove him back, but on going
into a back room, he discovered
Burns body on a bed with the
girls body lying across It. A tight
cord around the glrl's neck showed
that she had died of strangulation.
There were no signs of a struggle,
and everything in the house was in
order, The supposition is that
Burns died natural death or COM
mitted suicide 5y poison, and that
the girl, on discovering his death,
strangled herself. Papers in the
house showed that the girl was not
Burns daughter.
THE PINE NUT MINE.
| CARSON, New. Aug. z9.-J. w.
Haiues, Nevada's Worlds fair com
missioner, left Carson last night
with many specimens Of gold from
Pine Nut for Chicago. Senator
H4nes visited the mines in company
with &. G. Kellogg, the man who
built the first quartz mill in Gold
Hill years ago. Zirn took both into
drift never before opened to auy
one. Haines says: "The mine is
simply wonderful. l have been in
Nevada and California since '49,
and during that time have visited
, and been interested in every camp
of importance including Virginia,
Gold Hill, and Bodie, aud | am pre-
pared to say that this beats them all.
saw in one tunnel, by candle light,
chunks of gold sticking out of tht
quartz as long and full as cigar.
T Bodie in its palmy days never was
in such a good way. Nevada will
be heard of again throughout the
universe. 1t is the grandest mine
ever saw"
J GREAT RAILROAD SCHEME.
CHICAGO, Ills, Aug. pa
morning paper says: 1t is generally
understood that Jay Gould has Writ
ually relinquiih control of the
= Union Pacific Railway that the
( stocks and bonds of the company
have been placed in the hands OF
] banking firm of DreXel, Morgan and
; Co. have acquired control of tn,
I Union Pacific in the interest of the
/ Vanderbits. They are the financia.
agents of Vanderbilts and are ais,
/ In control of the Chicago Milwaukee
& st. Paul. This indicates a close
, alliance between the Union Pacific
and North Western and st. Paul
roads when completed. Vanderbllts
have long been anxious to secure a
foot hold west of the Missouri
river and gain an independent
outlet for their system of roads t.
the Pacific coast. 1t is not likely
they will be content with the Union
Pacific alJne but that they mean to
acquire other important railway
systems west of the Rocky
mountains. If the Vanderbilts sue
ceed in getting the Rio Grande, it is
believed their next move will be t.
secure control of the Southern Pacific
aud there Is no serious obstacles in
the way of their getting it. Witt
this road in their control, the Van
derbilts will be able to dictate terms
to all other lines so far as through
traffic between the Atlantic and
Pacific are concerned. Gould is prob
ably interested In this scheme and
has an understanding with the Van
ierbilts and DrcXel, Morgan d Co.,
whereby his railroad interest in the
West will receive ample protection.
