A Celebrated Case.

The trouble between Fisher and Haffner, which began several months ago and terminated in the death of the innocent man Holmes at Fairbank, still has the boards at Justice Alvord's court. Fisher today secured g judg- ment against Haffner for possession of the blacksmith shop where Holmes met his death. Judge Sloan refused to grant an injunction against the sale of the property under execution out of Ohnesorgen's court at Benson. Justice Alvord decided, however, that Ohuesorgen had no jurisdiction, and placed Fisher in charge of the proper ty. This is what caused the death of Holmes and the arrest of Fisher, who confessed to the killing.
 It was supposed that the end had come but it seems not. Fisher sued for possession. The case was tried, judgment given for plaintiff, an appeal taken and the opposing forces will rest till after Christmas when, it is stated, that Judge Sloan will appear and take hand in straightening out the tangle which led to one mans death through some ones laundering ignorance. Human life is too sacred to allow such affairs to go uninvesti- gated.

St. Winifred's We'll.

One of the most copious springs in Great Britain is the famed St. Wini- fred's well, near the town of lIolywell, in Flintshire. The well is an oblong square, about twelve feet by seven, and its water, say the people of the district, has never been known to freeze. This latter assertion may be true, as, be- sides containing fair percentage of mineral matters that lowers it's freez- ing point the well is inside a beautiful chapel, which was erected over it by Queen Margaret, the mother of Henry VII. The water thrown up is not less than eighty-fonr hogsheads every min ute, and the quantity appears to vary very little either in drought or after the heaviest rain, showing doubtless that its primitive sources are numerous and widely distributed. St. Winifred's has been the object of many pilgrimages.

THE RUTHLESS TURK.
A Striking Pen Picture of the Scenery of
 the Phosphorus.

A Striking Pen Picture of the Scenery of
 the Bosphorus.
 The Turk has been for centuries, says Alfred D. F. Hamlin, writing in the De- cember New England Magazine, the most ruthless of Vandals in classic lands, destroying the most precious an- tique monuments to obtain lime and mortar. Much havoc of this sort has been wrought in and about Stamboul, but wiser use has sometimes been made of ancient ruins. Wherever a bit of medieval wall could answer his purpose, he has made of it the base ment of his house, thus subserving at once the interests of his purse and of the picturesque. The drowning machi- colations of the old fortress become the windows of his kitchen and store- room, and upon their crest his wooden walls perch in truly triumphant fashion. Part of the walls of old Byzantium are thus crowned with houses, and at Roumeli-Hissar, beneath the windows of the American Robert college, a whole village clings to the scarpments and towers of the drowning ''Castle of Oblivion" No odder or more delightful confusion of beetling walls and comical houses could be imagined. The tops of the thick walls form lanes and alley ways, leading down from level to level by steep lnclines or crumbling steps. The crow's nest houses stand at every possible angle and elevation, overhang- ing the abyss on the further side of their lofty foundations, and gay with all the hues of the spectrum.

!, SHAVED WHILE YOU SLEEP.

How the Native Barber of India Performs
 the Operation.
 '"Talking about barbers, now," said an elderly gentleman, whose clean shaven face still bore the tan of the Indian sun under which the greater part of his life had been passed, to a New York Sun man, q know that the American artist is very skillful with his razor and the luxury in and surrounding barber's chair in any of the large cities of the United States is not equaled in any other part of the world. But, after all, the American barber has all is different.
 ''The Hindoo who slaves you while you are in your bed in the morning car ries with him little more than brush, razor and pair of scissors. He ex- poets to find everything else that may be necessary in your bathroom. You pay him, as you do your other servants, by the month. and he visits you every day or every alternate day as may be agreed upon. If he finds you sleeping he never arouses you. He just studies your position and then slaves only the parts of your face that are plainly ex- posed to him, and so gently and softly does he do it that unless you are very light sleeper indeed you do not know that you have been lathered and shaved until you open your eyes and see him sitting on the floor beside the bed.
 'Then he makes his salaam and begs you to turn over so that he can finish his work. But if you are lying on your back no delay is necessary. He finishes the operation and goes away without disturbing you and you awake to find yourself shaved without having seen the barber. Your face is, probably, little clammy after it, because, of course, he cannot wash it. But as every man in India takes a cold bath the mo- ment he arises from his bed in the morn- ing that does not greatly matter"

 There is considerable slang and good naturcd chaiiing among the buyers ant sellers in the London BillinGsgate, bu one is not overwhelmed by that torren of foul language he has been taught ts expect from his associations with tn, word. Inc best time to visit the mar lSet is on Friday morning. The wooden barn-loolling square where the fish i. sold is crowded soon after six o'clock with shiny cord jackets and greasy caps.
 Everybody comes to Bliiingsgatc in his worst clothes, and nobody knows the length of time d coat can be worn until he has been to fish sale. Over the hum of voices are heard the shouts of statesmen, who, with white aprons, pcering above the heads of the mob, stand on the tables roaring out their prices. All are bawling together salesmen and hucksters of provisions, hardware and newspapers-till the place becomes a perfect Babel of con- petition,

The only papers filed today in the recorders office were the abstracts of judgment in two cases tried in 1881, in which Richard TwOmey was plaintiff and the Neptune Mining Company was defendant. Twomey claimed ] interest in the Uncle Sam and Hayes mines but could not perfect his claim, and Judge Pinney gave judgment for defendant. The abstract of these ancient judgments was to complete the chain of title on the recorders books.

The people of southern Arizona should make as rong protest against he Mexican law allowing but an eight days pass to teams from the United States. It is impossible for a mining company to work without supplies, and supplies with teams can not be taken in on an eight days pass. Our Sonora trade is too valua- ble a source of revenue to block by a spirit of apathy at this time.

A few suggestions taken from the Medical World of Philadelphia, on authority on medical matters, will not come amiss at the present time. Dr. N. w. Gayle has made e study of the epidemic for thrae years and says:
 q am a firm believer in the germ theory of the disease. Influenza has been divided into three varieties: First the neurotic form second the catarrh- al form third the gastric form. There may be combinations of the above va rieties.
 "In my opinion influenza is due to a definite micro-organism which is in the atmosphere under certain condi- tions and at certain places, which con ditions eff the atmosphere last for a longer or shorter period. When these micro organisms come in contact with mucus membrane. of the respiratory tract, if the conditio 's are such that they find Judgement then the disease is manifested.
 uIn the catarrhal form there is in the outset sense of chilliness along the spine, in some cases pronounced chill with high fever, sore throat, frontal headache, sneezing, pains in the limbs and various parts of the body, particularly in the thoracic region. Pneumonic symptoms occur in many patients. The usual order of things has all the symptoms of bad cold.
 "In many cases the convalescence is slow and tedious. Stimulants and re- stcratives are here absolutely needed. Epidemic influenza, if not properly managed, is more liable to serious complications than nearly any other disease.
 "Quinine is the best germ destroyer we have for the microbe of influenza. I aborted quite a number of cases with antikamnia in combination with salol and quinine."
