of Bruner, the California ex-Assem-
blyman charged with embracery,
for trial Aug. Sth.
Sarah Brady, the courtesan who
relieved man of 800 at Oroville a
few weeks ago, has been sentenced
to San Quentin for two years.
Chinese highbinders are getting
their work in in Marysville, Cal.
They are demanding money and
threatening the lives of other China
men. No killing yet.
Rev. J. C. Read, pastor of the
First Baptist Church of East Port
land, is missing and it is thought
he was drowned while in bathing.
His clothes were fonnd on the river
bank.
Wilson, who is in Jail at Salem,
Or, for numbering Mamie Walsh,
has confessed that he has killed five
persons. He used to travel with a
circus as contortionist. His con-
tortions will be great when he hangs.
Robert A. Laurin has been sued
for $4,000 for breach of promise
by Miss Frances Pope, whom he
wooed in Sidney. He came to Cal
ifornia and wrote loving letters for
a while, but finally repudiated all
his promises.
A newsboy on train from Vinita
reports that one of the bandits
wounded at the time of the recent
train robbery, near Salina, Mo-,
was buried Thursday. Another one
was wounded, but not fatally. The
dead man is supposed to be Jack
Walton, who was formerly mine
owner in Arizona, but for the past
few years has led dissolute life.
All Gum, a Chinese belle of
Portland, Or, committed suicide
Tuesday by an overdose of opium.
The singular part of the case is
that, although two physicians de-
clare the woman dead, the China
men refuse to deliver her body to
the Coroner, claiming that she is
still alive. One intelligent China
man says that he has known of a
number of cases of supposed death
from opium in which the patient
after several days was restored to
consciousness.
A special from Silver City, Idaho.
says the Grand Jury has indicted
Constable William B. Fleming for
murder for killing Samuel Pritchard
last April. Pritchard was Deputy
United States Marshal and Secre-
tary of the Republican State Cen
trail Committee at the time of his
death. He was intoxicated, and
was raising disturbance, and start
ed out into the country, when Con-
stable Fleming met him and Or
dered him to throw up his hands.
Pritchard refused, and Fleming
shot him. Fleming was arrested,
but discharged on the ground of
self-defense. Pritchard was known
to be unarmed, and many express
the opinion that there was motive
for killing him which has not been
brought out.
The testimony in the murder
trial of Ivy Carson for the killing
of her lover, Frank Hosler, was
closed Thursday, and arguments
were made. The case went to the
jury yesterday. The testimony for
the defense showed the deceased to
be a worthless fellow, who had fire.
auently assaulted her and threat
ened to kill his mistress. She lived
under constant abuse from Hosler,
and all the while supplied him with
money to gamble. She said Hosler
circulated counterfeit money in
Stockton. On the morning of the
killing she says that he struck her
on entering the room. She fell, and
regaining her feet, ran into another
girls room, where she found the

Detecting Light Coins Electrically

There is not little spice of humor in
the way in which both sharpers and
those whose business 1t is to circumvent
them have recourse to electrical methods
for the attaining of their ends. A large
consignment in gold eagles was sent to a
New York bank from California, which
on examination was found to contain
twenty light weight coins, bearing the
date of 1891. These were apparently
new and bright, but they were rejected
on being passed into the electric light
coin detector. On being examined with
lens their surfaces were found to be
covered with infnitesimal pores. About
81 worth of gold had been extracted
from each eagle by electrolysis, which is
process now in high favor among pro-
fessional coin "sweaters, of whom the
American Chinaman has the reputation
of being by far the most adroit and dill
gent. In the coin detector the coins are
pushed in succession from the balance
pan on to knife edge, and according as
this knife edge is at The right hand limit
of its range or the left hand limit the
coin, when pushed on it, tits off to the
''light' channel or the "full weight"
as the case may be. The right
or left position of this shifting knife
edge is determined by an electric contact
made by the balance beam, and thus an
electro magnet is brought into action.
The coins run through the machine at
the rate of about sixty per minute by the
turning of handle.-New York Com.
