Followed BY Detectives,

A man giving his name as John
Henselman OF San Francisco has ap-
pea!ed to the police OF Plttsburg, Pa,
for protection from Pinkerton detect
ives. He said he had q letter from
Frisco which he had just received
from his mother in that city, and
that it warned him against the Pinker-
tons, who, she said, were on his track
for an alleged embezzlemeno OF $40
600 from the Overland Stage and
Transfer company. The young man
said he wasinnocent and that he had
been driven about the country for
several months past by PinSeroon's
men, vino he claims, are continually
DIGGING his steps. He said:
For several years past | nave neld

that if the confession refers to the
murder of Alice Mackenzie. which oc-
CURED in 1889 and OF Mary Kelly,
which was committed in 1858, it is
possible that Deeming is telling the
truth.
The Liverpool police who have
charge OF the Rain Hill Gaze have no
further knowledge OF the confession
made by Deeming than that contained
in the press dispatch from Melbourne.
The story OF the confession has caus.
ed an immense sensation In Rain Hull
district, but it was not required 20
convince the residents there that
Dseming had killed the woman and
four children found at Dinnam villa,
whose bodles now lie in the parish
churchyard. 1t was only the cor
roboration OF the belief OF every one
in the vicinity OF Liverpool that he
was the murderer. The Scotland
Yard authorities have received no
private information from Melbourne
regarding the confession, and they
attach little importace to Daemings
statement that he killed two of the
Whitechapel women. They say they
believe Deeming's object in making
that confession is to secure q remand
and to be brought to England. This,
they add, is well known trick o..

ratio with the size of the spot. They
further show that the "spottiness" OF
the sun reaches it's maximum every
eleven years, dying gradually down
to it's minimum of absolute freedom
from spots, and as gradually increas-
ing. There was, for instance, q mini
mum in 1873 and q maximum at the
end of 1882 or the beginning of 1888.
Then, again, there was minimum in
1889, since which year the number
and frequency OF the spots has been
increasing. It is q notably fact that
when there are the fewest spots they
come near the equator, but when q
fresh cycle begins the spots appear in
higher latitudes-about 35 degrees or
so from the equator, though never
appearing at q greater distance than
40 degrees.
These are the collar phenomena in
connection With the spots. The tier
restrial magnetic phenomena are
equally striking, the magnetic storms
or disturbances being ofereat ex tent
amounting to several degrees IN the
deviation Of the compass. In the
present instance, soon after the spot
had passed the central meridian, there
was a great magnetic disturbance
from noon on Saturday to noon on
Sunday, and that was accompanied
by aurora on Saturday night. Dur.
ing this period both the movement of
the needle to the north and its at
traction to the earth showed q great
disturbance. This has been fixed by
the recording instruments at Green
wich, which work in this way.

discuss what is theconnection between

OF d large spot being seen without
magnetic disturbances being felt, there
are cases in which the latter have

Greed Over Again.

There is every probility that an ex'
element similar to that at Creole,
COL, will enliven the southern Hills in
South Dakota, during the coming sum-
mer. Early last spring the discovery
of rich galena at the Spokane mine in
the squaw Greek district, IL miles
west OF Harmosa, created no little ex-
element. Within q few weeks q typi
cal mining town sprang up upon the
Judd ranch IN the picturesque valley
OF Squaw Greek. Pine shacks. board
shanties, tents and more permanent
structers speedily arose and Spokane
soun boosted six saloons, with fair
prospect OF q dance house. The PUNK
OF the pick and the seductive click of
the poker chip were heard on every
hand, while claim stakes were planted
for two or three miles about the
withdrawing Spokane. Several car
loads OF ore were shipped to Omaha
with good results, and the prospectors
VINO owned the mine saw their dreams
OF wealth rapidly materializlng.
This time litigation, the incubus OF
most good mines, stepped IN. John
L. Buckingham, OF Hermosa, claimed
to have staked Judd, the discoverer,
to various amounts OF -four and ba.
con, and on this claimed half inter

eighth interest, saw more money in

In an interview with q correspond

tiations were pending for the organic

the bottom OF the shaft, true assure
with we'll defined walls. The ore body
averages from 80 to go ounces OF
silver and from 80 to SO per cent of
lead with some streaks running as
high as $4,000 per ton. Good ore
bodies are exposed in the cross cuts
on both levels and there are now two
car loads OF ore ready to ship to Oma-
he,.
There is no doubt but that the
smel:er project will prove a success,
as the district ID one of the best IN the

Keystone and Bullion gold groups lie

Rigan, pretty nineteen-year-old girl,
was struck by lightning here yesterday
and instantly killed. She had been
bathing in the Passaic river. and when
tho storm broke at 4 o'clock she came
ont of the water and went under a
small white birch treo near the river 70

standing under an umbrella near ner
when tho bolt of lightning struck the
tree and killed her
Miss Ryan had not had time to put on
any OF her clothes; she only wore. par
OF rubber boots to protect her feet IN
going from tho water to the place whore
her clothes were. She never moved
after the lightning struck the tree. Tho
upper part Of her body turned dark
blue color, and the rubber boot on her
left foot was cut down the side as II by
q knife. r
Yesterday the heat was intense. The
Thermometers registered from 100 TO
1852 of heat, and the weather sharks
predicted heavy thunder storm. 1t
was nearly 4 o'clock before there was
any sign 81 an approaching shower, aud
this was the time that Miss Ryan selec-
ted TO go bathing. Miss Annie BALDWIN,
OF Gloucester City, girl about Gussle 9
age, came TO visit hor last Saturday ana
accompanied Der yesterday afternoon
to the bathing pool in the Passaic. The
pool icy favorite place Tor young
women, and is back OF John McGraths
farm house.
Gussie took off her clothes under the
white birch on the bank and plunged
into the river. For ten minutes she re.
NAMED in the water, while her fIiend
stood on the bank and watched her:
The air suddenly became cooler and
thorc was far.off peal OF thunder, tol-
lowed in few minutes by large drops
OF rain. Annie put up her umbrella
and called to Gussie to como out OF the
water at once and get dressed. as the
girl left the water Annie said TO her:
''There is going to DO lightning, Annie,
andits dangerous to stand under that
tree"
"IfI am to be struck" responded
Gusslo, II might as well be struck here
as anywhere" She slipped her feet into
tho pair Of rubber boots that were wait
ing for her on the bank, and ran up to
the tree underneath which her clothes
werc lying. Gussie had Just reached
tho white birch when bolt OF lightning
shot down toward tho birch. Annie
says there was an explosion and u
strong smell OF sulphur. Her umbrella
was wrenched from her hands, and for
a moment she was stunned. She said:
"The air seemed to be filled with
smoke. Whom / recovered myself l
looked for Gussie. She was fiat on tho
ground, and knew she was dead. The
white birch was split and the bank was
torn from it."
It is probable that Gussie was lean
ing on the tree at the time. Near her
left heel, as she foil, there was hole
several inches in diameter in the
ground. Her clothes, which had been
lying on the ground beside her, were
uniniured. The storm was furious
one for the hour which it lasted. The
body was removed to the farmhouse OF
her grandfather.
