Details of the Discovery of the Rich Tin
Mine Near Durango.

CITY or MENICo, March With
reference TO the reported discovery OF q
very rich tin mine. about 80 miles from
the City Of Durango, John Pershmaker
the owner, gives the following details:
The discovery OF the vein was acci-
dental. He had gone 10 what is known
as the Diabol mine. - miles southwest
OF Durango, for the purpose OF eNamin-
ing the ynld of metal bearing ores, not
knowing that tin had been found there.
He found shaft about 800 feet deep,
which had passed through TWO light
veins OF gold, iron and silver bearing
ores.
In making a close examination Of the
sides Of the shaft. he noticed that the
miners had passed through large and
very rich lead OF oxide OF Tin, evidently
without knowing IL. After making his
calculations A. t. the probable direction
taken Toy the vein. he ran a horizontal
tunnel for short distance. striking a
vein Of ore that Is truly remarkable. II
is over four feet wide. and is composed
Of a solid mass Of oxide of tin, assaying
from 80 10 80 per cent. OF the pure
metal. There is uo sulphur ia IL what

ore simply amounts 10 the work oi

SIR CHARLES DILgg ENERGIES FROM A LONG
SgOLUSION
And Attempts 70 yindcais Himself-An Ancient
Scandal Rsyivet-Iks Woman Fanny SAID
to Have Accounted for Hsrself il Sslis-
factory aanuer-hrs. Crawford
Severely kahgnsd.

LONDON. March "a long statement
has been issued and Is now being circu-
lated among the electors OF Gloucester
SHIRE on behalf OF Sir Charles Dixie.
On February - it was announced that
the electors Of the Forest Of Dean d.
vision had asked Sir Charles Dixie 10 be
their candidate for Parliament at the
coming general election. To this prop
Osition Sir Charles replied that he as
sented 10 their proposition provided that
he had fair assurance from majority
of the Liberal electors that his candi-
dacy would receive their support. Final
ly ii was stated that Sir Charles Dixie
had supplied the Forest of Dean Liberal
organization with a statement for pri-
yate circulation among it, members vim
dicating himself against the charges
made against him la connection with
the famous Crawford Dixie divorce
case, in which he was involved several
years ago. This statement is not signed
but bear. internal evidence that Sir
Charles Dixie j. the author Of the dOcu-
ment IN question. The statement tries
To show that the leading assertions Of
the respondent, Mrs. Crawford, were
untrue. and that she was an abandoned
character and habitual frequenter Of
houses OF III fame. According TO
this statement Captain Forster
ought TO have been the cores
pondcnt and not Charles Dixie.
Referring TO the notorious Fanny
the pamphlet says that she is now
happily married and i known a. Mrs.
Stock. Continuing, the pamphlet says
that Mrs. Crawford. during the divorce
proceedings, made the assertion that
Fanny" had been Sir Charles Dilke'S
mistress. and crowned her own infamy
by swearing that She Mrs. Crawford
aud Fanny" had been in bed together
with Sir Charles Dixie.
In this connection IL has been widely
asserted that Fanny" avoided going
into the witness box, ani that in 80
doing she practically admitted her own
guilt. Since the trial, however, accord !
ing 10 the statement. Fanny has
made statutory declaration giving a
full account Of herself, Of where she !
was staying at the periods il was A.
serted that she was sleeping with |
Sir Charles Dixie. and has made a
sworn denial OF Mrs. Crawford's story, |
81 far aS it related 10 her before the |
Queens proctor "Fanny'S" husband, |
the pamphlet adds, believes his wife'S
story aud says that he has the best
reasons 10 know that she IS a good wo-
man. The statement also compares the
evidence furnished at the trial in detail. |
The most striking novelty Of the whole !
affair are "Fanuys" declarations. The |
general opinion seems " be that the |
pamphlet will reopen the agitation Of
years gone by and Will probably win
over to Sir Charles side number Of the
public who have previously condemned !
him. but that it will fail to completely |
vindicate Sir Charles Dixie.

RKN. j. G. ARMSTRONG.
The Old Fable of His Resemblance TO
wilkes Booth Revived.

CHICAGO, March "A morning paper
says: IL is generally believed by The
people of Atlanta, Ga, that the Rev. j.
G.. Armstrong. who recently died In that
city, was J. Wilkes Booth. Two old
aud well informed citizens OF the
Georgia capital are stopping at the
Grand Pacific, and they declare that the
people OF Atlanta will not believe other
wise than the late pastor was the assas-
sin Of President Lincoln.
"ArmStrong's resemblance 10 j..
Wilkes Booth was remarkable" said
one OF the Atlanta men yesterday.
when he was alive the Atlanta people
discussed the suspicion about the man.
The last time Edwin Booth visited At
lanta he, with the leading members OF
his company, stopped at the kim6all
House. All one day Mr. Armstrong Is
known 10 have been clOSeted In room
at the hotel with the actor, and during
the week = engagement of the company
he made frequent visits 10 Mr.. Booth :
apartments Efforts were made To
learn the mans past history, but
they were futile beyond the
fact that he was at one
time the pastor of church at Wheel
ing, W. VA. The yestrymen there at
tempted IL trace his past history, but
were unable 10 make any progress. He
declined to have anything 10 say ia re-
gard To himself and was force To leave
his church From Wheeling he went 10
Atlanta. The first time his name was
mentioned in the public prints was
when his daughter created L sensation
by deserting her husband the day after
her marriage. Ths young woman
subsequently went on the stage.
Mr.. Armstrong was fond OF attending
the theatre. often saw him in public
places. His presence always caused
comment. His resemblance 70 the as
SaSSin Of Lincoln, he even having 4 gun
shot wound in his leg and the scar on
his neck. These marks were discovered
after death 1t is rumored since the
mans death that he committed suicide
aud the Coroner will be called upon TO
hold an inquest. In case OF such an
event an effort will be made to find some
OF his private papers"
lThe above story is well worn fable.
W men iscN. AIHSViohS was III w hHo'',"s
his former life was an open book TO his
friends. The telegram above is errOn-
eous in stating that Mr.. Armstrong
went 10 Atlanta from Wheeling. After
leaving this city he went to Richmond.
and from there TO Atlanta. The inti-
mated suicide of DR.. Armstrong Is TO be
taken with the same grains OF allow

Teaters Expected to Swing and Made
Preparations for Escaping.


WASHINGTON, PA, March j.-Ge0rge
T.. Teaters expected TO swing for the
murder Of Mrs. sanders The jail
authorities tonight found letter in an
old suit OF clothes which TeaterS left at
the jail when he was taken to the peni-
tentiary, addressed 10 his brother, ia
which the murderer in anticipation Of q
frs; degree verdict, desires his brother
to send into the Jail concealed in jar
Of peaches some diamond steel saws.
With these Teaters intended cutting the
iron bars Of his cell and making an at
tempt 10 escape.
The theory is that the letter, for some

aud as the verdict was not such aS
would hang the prisoner. It's delivery
