In the Wrong Envelope.

Wheeling. w. Va, June 10.- There is a social sensation at New Cumberland, Hancock County. Some weeks ago the marriage of John Crawford and Miss Ruth Wylie, members of two wealthy and prominent families, was an nounced. The event was to have taken place last night. Just before the time was set for the ceremony Crawford received a note from Miss Wylie, and on opening it found en- closed a letter of the most ardent nature from Miss Wylie to James Ewing. a former lover. It had been placed in the wrong envelope by mistake. He at once broke off the match. Many of the wedding guests were already assembled.

Between electricity, which turns night into day, and in other ways fulflls the duty of 8 city full of policemen, and photography, which disseminates the features of the con- vict far and wide, the times are not so suspicious for the burglar as they used to be. A citizen of Toledo, Ohio, is accredited by the Boston Transcript with an invention by which an instantaneous photograph of an incoming burglar can be made by the fash-light camera that has been previously set and focused to- ward the door in such way as to take in the entire figure of the in- truder.

New Jury System.

In Minnesota a constitutional amendment was adopted last year,
 making a verdict of five-s sixth of a jury, or ten votes, in a civil suit, valid. They might have gone fur ther and have it to apply to crimi- nal cases as we'll, and other states might adopt the same rule. If such was the law everywhere many mur- derers would meet their just deserts and be promptly hanged upon con- viction. whereas, as it is now, one or two men on jury, either from ignorance, prejudice, obstinacy or from being bribed, can nullify the honest votes of the other jurors, put the state to great expenses, and turn a red-handed slayer of his fellow men loose. He goes forth to repeat his crime and is sure to have many imitators; who seeing the ease with which he had escaped, kill some one upon the slightest provocation, apparently feeling no more com junction than if the bullet had end ed the existence of a mad dog. Were it we'll established that a un- animous verdict was not necessary for conviction, and that there was strong probability of execution fol- lowing the trial without great de- lay, there would be fewer murderers. Let it once be known that hanging for murder is not "played out" and there will not be so many murder trials.-Phenix Gazette.

A Clear Back Down.

New York, June 10.-The New York Tribune which has heretofore had much to say on the subject ot tin-plate, from high protection >tandpoint, recently let it's enthu- siasm get the best of it's judge ment, and today on it's editorial page it makes the following ac- knowledgement of error:
 "The Tribune will frankly say that in a short paragraph in it's ed" torial column of April 24 state ment was made that the production of tin-plate in this country had been so large as to compel the Welsh Trust to shut down. That assertion was a mistake and should never have been made. No one re- grets more than the Tribune that an inaccurate item of that kind should have been printed in its columns"

Geronimo, the all around crimin- al, who for years has been wanted and hunted by the authorities of southern Arizona, met his fate at the hands of a posse of ranchers about thirty miles below Benson on on the San Pedro. Two of his com panions, one wounded, were cap tured and are now in the county jail. The killing of the desperado occurred last Friday, while in pos session of horses stolen from MT. Logan's ranch, and en route to Mammoth, where a store robbery had been planned. The names of his companions are Victoria Sando- val and Guadalupe Redondo. They acknowledge being implicated in more murders and robberies than they have been given credit for, among them the murder of Duncan, in the Huachucas, and the recent Bisbee stage robbery. The reward for Geronimo amounted to upwards of $3,OOO.-Willcox Stockman.

Montana Editor killed.

Butte. Mont, June 10.-W. J. Penrose, editor of the Mining Jour nal, and member of the Legislature was shot dead early this morning near his home. He was found dead on the sidewalk. A bullet-hole was in his temple above his left ear, There is no trace of the murderer. Belle Browning has been arrested on suspicion. The general belief is that the crime was committed for revenge by someone who had been offended by an article in Penrose's paper.

Compared with previous years, mining speculation in England was very moderate in 1890. According to the figures in recent issue of the Economist, the number of new mining companies registered in the United Kingdom was 298, the nom- nal capital of which was 935,lS7,- 125, against 37S companies with a capital of 941 ,015, ,425 in 1889, and 365 companies and 952, ,663 400 in the preceding year. The decrease was undoubtedly largely attributa- ble to the falling off in demand for South African gold shares, which suffered wholesale decline in prices; but there was a general de- preciation ill nearly all mining stocks, which, with the financial troubles which disturbed the course of business during the year, make it difficult for promoters to place new ventures.-Engineering and Mining Journal.

This week there passed through Las Vegas the finest bunch of steers which has been seen in this terri tory in many years. They were from the range of the Chiracahua Cattle Company, of Southern Ari- zona, and were purchased by s. NJ. Newton, of Ogden, Kansas, and consigned to Swift & Co.,, Kansas City. They were even in size, all of attractive colors, and three quar- ters of them were in killing condi- ton. They all showed a strong infusion of Hereford and shorthorn blood, which has evidently been going on in that herd for years.a and their condition was a great adver- tisement of the superior range of the company. It would have been splendid object lesson to many stockmen we know in this territory to have looked at these cattle, and then compared them with the stock they run and insist there are no bet ter in the country. It is understood the 400 head in the lot sold at $31, delivered at San Simon. Arizona. The same parties also purchased of the Chiricahua Company 300 head of spayed heifers, that were equal in quality and condition to the steers.-Stock Grower.

In Senators Vests opinion the Democratic ticket next year will be Cleveland and Gray. This is prob ably correct prognostication, but Gray's friends would do we'll to advise him to separate himsIf as promptly and distinctly as possible from any implication with the Hill outfit. It's ot no consequence, per haps, but Voorhees can do as much anti-Cleveland talking as is strictly necessary from Indiana, and there is no urgent necessity for Gray and his friends to say anything now that they will have to take back next year.-St. Louis Republic.

Fifteen million dollars is the modest little sum that will be paid out of the national treasury for sugar bounties during the coming year. Eleven millions will go to Louisiana, and at least $100,000 to the owner of single plantation 15O miles long. The money will come out of the pockets of a variety of unprotected workers, especially of the California wheat-growers. The tax on five million grain sacks will just about meet the check the Gov ernment will send to the great Louisiana sugar-grower. - Exam iner.

Prof. Charles A. Young, the emi- nent Princeton astronomer, recent ly sat chatting in the court of the Palace. One of his listeners could not refrain from asking him in an off-hand way: "What is to you the most wonderful and startling fact of astronomy" "The fact that your great Lick telescope reveals about 1OO,OOO,OOO of stars, and that every e.of them is sun, theoretically and by analogy giving light and heat to his planets. You know the Lick telescope reveals stars so small that it would require 3O,0O0 of them to be visible to the naked eye."- San Francisco Examiner.

4 Cat Haul.

Bat Holland had an adventure with six wild cats yesterday which was full of interest. He saw one cat near small cave above Young's place and shot at it, at the same time he raced toward it and was greeted with a warm reception. Two old cats and four young ones jumped upon him, but being a tall, strong young fellow, he kept them at disadvantage with his gun used a club. He kept backing away all of the time and after tearing his clothes almost entirely off of him, they retreated and he came down to YGung's house. The latter re- turned with him to the scene of the conflict and were met by a volley of cat calls from the cave. Seeing that the old cats were away they re- solved to capture the young ones which they did at the expense of getting scratched and somewhat torn. The youngsters now sport around in a close pen in Bats back yard.-Tombstone Prospector.

The State of New Jersey has done itself infinite credit by the publica- ton of an enumeration oi the plants of New Jersey, which has been conducted under the supervi- sion of Dr. Britton, of Columbia College, New York, and is indeed mainly his work. It has occupied some fifteen years, and is undoubt- edly the grandest work of the kind ever issued. The number of species is found to be 5,641, of which 1919 are of Towering plants (Phanero- gams) and 17O5 of fungi; of the family of mosses 461 species are recorded, and no less than 3O21 Thallophytes (Lichens and Alge. The remarkable feature of the work is the attention given the lower orders of vegetation, usually omitted in great part from such llsts.-New York Independent.

The dynograph car is one of the most wonderful inventions in rail way work. It has only to be rolled over a track to indicate every im- perfection in the rails, whether it be spread rails,-open joints, or defec- tive iron. Suitable markings are left on the track according to the fault to be denoted, so that the trackman who follows in the wake of the car has large proportion of his labor saved and can see at a glance where his repairs or altera- tions must begin.-Louisville Cour- ier-Journal.

Converted the Missionary.

One year ago Dr. Arthur Greaves of Boston, went west to do mission ary work among the Indians. For the last ten years he had been an active member of the eastern socie- ties formed in aid of the red men, but he wished to visit the savages iii person and to administer spirit ual and worldly blessings to them. He visited number of the agencies and conversed with hundreds of Indians. Faithfully he labored for nearly year. Then he quit. Dr. Greaves was at the Richelieu yes terday. journeying toward Boston. He is totally disgusted with the aborigines.
 1T have worked like an apostle of the olden times with the In- dians," he said last evening, "and have retired from missionary work for good. The western Indians know more than most of the people of Boston, and they are as crafty as veteran detective. For years l p;tied them, for I thought they had been treated shamefully and were innocent and ignorant. They know considerable. would tell them bible stories at the Rosebud agency and they would listen most attentively. When I had finished they would get together and guy me unmerci- fully. When I was with the Sioux, Chief Red Cloud said that I could make a hundred Indians happy by getting our society to send out fifty plows and other farming imple- ments. I got the people at home interested in the matter and tGey shipped me two carloads of heavy tools. Thesewere distributed among the Indians, who appeared overjoy- ed with the prospect of having the means of tilling the soil. Shortly after this l went west for a month. When | returned 1 could not find any of the implements sent from Boston. After a deligent search it was discovered that the heathens had pitched them all into the White river and had made a bridge of them. The costly tools sent out for farming purposes were used as you would use stones, and bridge across river was all the good that was accomplished. This is one instance and there are many more simIlilr cases. At this time I began to lose faith in the sheer ity displayed by the Indians, and subsequent events proved to me that the Indian could only be an Indian. All the teaching in the world could make no difference. The best way to solve the Indian problem is not to bother with it Leave them all to the western peo- pie and they will treat the red man fairly and keep him in his place at the same time. Eastern philan- tropists, who meddle with affairs of which they have no accurate knowl- ege, do more harm than good."- Chicago Times.
