COnyictS Turned Loose.

Knoxville, Tenn, Nov. 2.-At 10
 o'clock this morning 200 mounted
 men came in from the mountains
 and liberated the 200 convicts work
 ing in the mines at Oliver Springs.
 So quietly was it done that the peo- pie of the town knew nothing about what had happened until 6 o'clock this morning, when they discovered that the stockade of the leeses was a mass of smoking ruins. All of the short term prisoners were fur nished with citizens clothing, and, with the exception of few who have been captured, all are now at large. This makes more than 500 penitentiary convicts turned loose in that locality since Friday even- ing. The Governor of the State was here yesterday, but left this morn ing for Nashville. It was given out after his arrival here that the force of guards at Oliver had been large ly increased, and that an attack up- on the stockades would be stoutly resisted. It does not appear, how ever, that there was any resistance at all and no one was hurt. The widest rumors prevail, one of which is that the miners will immediately proceed to Tracy City and release the convicts there. There is now no we'll founded evidence for this, but no man can tell what the end is to ho

AFiSh Story.

w. Bartholomew came in this af- ternoon from Jo. Hoefer's ranch where he spent Sunday. Among other things he brought back with him was a carp which he caught with hook and line in the pond at the ranch. There was nothing peculiar about catching a carp as there are plenty of them, but this one is curiosity. In it's infancy 1t had been cut in two, that is, the tail and half of the body had evi- dently been bitten off by some larger fish. This didn't settle the little ones hash, however. He heal ed up where he was cut off and is now two inches long, whereas it would be six inches long if it were whole. It is the most peculiar thing in the shape of a fish ever seen. It is alive and enjoying life in pickle bottle at MT. Hoefer's store.-Pros- pector.

Malicious Puebl0S.

Superintendent Dyer,o the Santa Fe road, went south this afternoon in company with Pueblo Indian Agent Robertson to investigare into the cause of numerous outrages which have occurred for several weeks between Wallace and Ago dones, says the New Mexican. It appears that almost nightly large rocks and other Instructions have been placed upon the tracks in that locality and much damage has re- suited to rolling stock besides lives have on several occasions been en- dangered. The company has con- ferred with the Pueblo Indians at Santo Domingo and San Felipe, but can get no satisfaction out of them and now proposes to take decisive steps to stop the outrages. Agent Robertson has gone with Mir. Dyer to confer with the governors of the two pueblos. The company offers a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the mischief makers. Alb. Citizen,

The Wallapais readily learn their lesson in the manner of disposing of marital infelicities from their white brethern. The other day a motley crew gathered at the court house and after side issues were amicably settled one of the arty asked Sheriff Lake and Judge Blakely to act as referees in a di- vorce proceeding betwwen young squaw and middle-aged buck. It appeared that the buck had pur- chased the squaw some months ago from her parents, but they were un- able to dwell in harmony together, so the youthful bride deserted her liege lord and returned to the pa rental roof. The Sheriff and Dis trict Attorney declined to act in the desired capacity, but advised the appointment of Levy-Levy as me- diator, which was done. The veter- an chief, after hearing the evidence pro and con, decided that inasmuch as the Indian had purchased the squaw she was his property to do with as he saw fit; that the sea
 son for divorcein their case had not arrived, It appears that just before the winter winds blow it is the duty of the buck to ask the squaw if she is satisfied and if she replies in the negative she is allowed to pack up her effects and hie herself away to the home of her parents, but not before she has lived with the buck at least one year.-Mohave Miner.

City Sentinel.

The water in Salton Lake has lowered rapidly during the past week, says the Yuma Sentinel. There is no longer any water flow into the basin, and where three weeks ago a large stream was run ming, there is scarcely a sign of moisture to be seen. Last week En- gineers Hangwood and Swaine rode from FlowingWells so Cariso Creek, in buggy, and found that there was no water coming desert-ward from the Colorado river. In fact, where short time ago a respecta- ble river had been running, no trace of water could be seen. It was found also that the sand dunes which had been cut through by the spring floods, were reforming and within a few months the sands of the desert would again build up a barrier against the encroachments of the Colorado river. From these facts it can readily be seen that Sal- ton lake will soon be a thing of the past. The evaporation is rapidly diminishing it's volume and it will require only few weeks more to finish up the wonderful lake which appeared for short season in the Colorado desert.

Highway Robbery.

Jeff King, who has escaped mer- ited punishment for former crimes has assumed the role of the lone highwayman. On Monday the 18th instant, he held up Thomas Jack son foreman of the Ell Paso Smelt- ing company's mines at Cooks Peak, on the road between the peak and Florida station. Jackson was riding in a blackboard when King rode up on horseback and after rid ing alongside for a time presented a cooked sixshooter and ordered Jackson to drive off the road. which order was readily obeyed. Jackson then complied with a demand for the money he was carrying, amount ing to $1 ,032.50. After securing this the robber compelled Jackson to drive back toward the station by a side road and then made his es- cape across the Cooks Peak moun- tains, and has not since been heard City Sentinel.

How Deep Does the Earth Quake!

The Mississippi valley has re- gently experienced an earthquake shock which for severity has not been equaled for years. an incident which revivies interest in the query !: How deep does the earth quake" when nature shakes her crust as the cyclone does the circus tent?
 At Virginia City, New, the great earthquake of 1870 was not noticed by the miners in the deeper portions of the Comstock mines. The fa- nous earthquake at chimneys, fire walls, etc., and cracked every brick building in the city, was merely noticed by some of the miners work ing in the "upper levels" but did them no damage. not even shaking down loose rocks and earth. The station men in the various shafts felt it strongest, and the deepest point where it was noticed was by the ninth station man, who was on the watch at the 900-toot level, which is, of course, 900-feet below the surface. He said it felt like a faint throb or pulsation of air, as though a blast had been fired above, below, or in some indefinite direc- ton. In some of the Virginia City mines the shock was not felt at all, not even by station men in the shafts.-St. Louis Republic.

Mir. Wiseman, the English rail- road engineer, has proposed build ing a railroad across and through the heart of Africa. This railroad would be about 5000 miles long, and it's cost about $77, 100000. It would be about as long as the Ca- nadian Pacific and only 2.O00 miles shorter than the great Russian-Si- berian line.
