THE LOSS OF THE, ELDER.
The London Times Holds the British
Authorities Responsible for 1t.

The London Times Holds the British
Authorities Responsible for 1t.
LONDON, Feb. 6.-The Times gives q
long leader to the causes OF the loss ,
the steamship Elder in which the au-
thorities, whose duty it is to watch over
the coasts of England, are severely
called to account. AS reported in the
dispatches Of the United Press Thurs
day, the Marquis of Lorne, who had
been sent to Atherield by the queen to
watch the wreck, had animadverted a
the absence of coast communications
and urged that coast-guards stations be
connected with each other by telegraph
to the end that assistance might be more
promptly rendered to wrecked ships.
The Times takes up the tale and
lectures the authorities for not placing a
bell buoy over the shoals on which the
Elder stranded. 1T continues: ely
happy chancellor the standing of En-
gland as maritime power it was but a
conditions which might relieve us of all
blame. But it is our duty to pro-
vide the narrow approaches OF the
Solent with all the signs of warning the
ingenuity of man can devise and place
them at the points of danger where they
are most wanted"
Among other changes suggested by
the disaster to the Elder are the transfer
of the fog horn from St. GATHERINGS
point to the Needle, where it is most re-
quired, and the substitution of whist
ling buoys at each dangerous point.

CONGRESS.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Mr. Fithian,
of Illinois, offered bill placing agricul-
tural implements on the free list. and
asked that it be printed in the record,
but the permission was denied. The bill
was referred to the committee on ways
and means.
Mr.. Beltzhoover, of Pennsylvania,
from the committee on war claims, re-
ported back from the committee the bill
known as the border raid claims bill. to
authorize the payment of damages sus-
tanned by Pennsylvania from Union and
Confederate troops during the war.
Mr. Cultivate, of Ohio, from the
committee on military affairs, reported
bill to establish lineal promotion
throughout the artillery, cavalry and
infantry.
The senate bill for public building
at Sandusky, o., was reported favor
ably.
The house went into committee of the
whole on the census urgency deficiency
bill, Mr.. Sayers, of Texas, in charge Of
the bill.
He said that If the superintendent of
the census had been allowed to have his
own way in appointments, it was proba-
BILE that the expenditures in that Office
would not have been so large, but as he
was constantly importuned by members
of congress for positions, who brought
tremendous pressure to bear upon him,
there had naturally been extravaganza.
Men and woven had been given places
who never should have been appointed.
1t was not SO much the fault Of the
superintendent that money had been I'M
wisely and extravagantly expended, as
it was the fault of congressman.
Mr.. Dingley replied that it was to be
regretted that charges against the super
interdent Of the census had been pre-
cipitated in the house ON this deficiency
bill. 1t was unfair to the superintend-
ent of the census. If charges were to
be made, they should be the losers. Mr..
Dingley stated that the house did not
know whether there was any founda-
ton for the charges made.
He thought the superintendent of the
census had faithfully and efficiently dis
charged his duties. One of the reasons
why the expenses of the eleventh census
was so large was the requirement i'm
posed upon the superintendent of the
census by congress to collect data re-
garding farm and real estate mortgages,
which he had opposed. This imposed
upon the superintendent new and un-
heard of duty Of ascertaining for what
purposes farms had been mortgaged.

The Mineola the First Steamship to Make
the Round Trip.

INC hiheoia the FIRST steamship TO MAKE
the Round Trip.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The American
steamer Mineola arrived here Thursday
from San Francisco. She is the first
steamship which ever made the round
trip from here to San Francisco and
back. Two other American steamers
are now on the same trip, but have not
yet completed it. They are the Macki-
nav and Keweenaw. The Mineola was
originally British steamer, but was
placed under the American flag by a spe-
cial act of congress. The Keweenaw
and Mackinaw were built at West Bay
City, Mich, in 1890. They were foated
through the Welland canal in sections,
and put together again in Montreal.
The Mineola left San Francisco on
Nov. 20. She put into San Diego and
sailed on Nov. 2S. On Dec. 25 she put
into Carmel and touched at Pernambuco
on Jan. 1s. She stopped at st. Lucia for
coal on Jan. 26. The steamer made poor

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, Feb. 6.-The
widest excitement prevails here over the
discovery in the Plymouth Rock shaft,
on Gold hill, at the head of Squaw gulch.
At depth of thirteen feet chimney of
ore was discovered which is perfect
mass of shining gold, conservative min
ing men estimating the value at from
$4,000 to $l5, 900 per ton. The matter
is BLUSH gray quartz, impregnated
with veins of gold that make it difficult
to conjecture what the real value of the
ore may reach.
Another rich strike has been made in
the Washington mine on Wilson creek
at a depth of fifty-six feet. The pay
streak in this property has widened ont
to twenty inches, and the last three feet
of the work has been through some Of
the richest quartz yet found in this

Sensational Developments in the Mar

Sensational Developments in the Mar
riage of a Kentucky Belle.
HAwEsvILI,E, KY, Feb. 6.-The great
est sensation that has been produced in
this county for years is now at its high
ton, about five miles from here. In a
large two-story brick mansion ON a
beautiful plantation lives John II. Rob-
bins, highly respected and prosperous
farmer, who has raised large and in
teresting family, most of whom have
married and settled around the old
home, except Lama, the belle and
beauty of the family.
In the summer of 1889 J. t. Dawson,
who represented himself to be an agent
of ST Louis range company called at
the Robbins mansion and for several
days partook of its hospitality and was
introduced to Miss Lama. In a short
time he returned and it was plain that
all his attention was directed toward the
fair daughter of his host. Finally an
attachment sprang up between them.
A marriage followed soon after, and
the couple left for Wichita, Kan, where
they lived happily for a short while,
and from there went on tour through
the south, and returned to the Robbins
home in April, $780, where Dawson
persuaded his wife to remain, telling
her thathis company had decided send
ing him to Europe ON business, and that
he would travel through England,
France and Germany, and be gone
probably year or more. In a reasona-
BILE time she received letter from him
dated and postmarked London, England,
and which purported to have been sent
to the st. Louis firm, and by them sent
to Mrs Dawson in Kentucky. Then
came similar letters from Paris, Ham
burg and other points.
At last by some mistake he placed the
required amount of United States post
age on the letter post marked Germany
Thir led to an investigation which devel-
oped the fact that Dawson had never
gone to Europe at all, but is now and
was at the time of his marriage to Miss
Robbins, q man of family and living
with his wife and children at Belmont,
Mo. Mrs. Robbins Dawson, her father
and brother-in-law left here for the
latter place to secure Dawson's arrest
He will either be prosecuted there or
held until a requisition can be obtained
for his return to this place for trial.

But No One is to Be Punished
for Killing Him.

One of Coal HEAVIER TurnbulIs Murderers
Gets 02O Days Imprisonment and the
Other see Days The Sentences Sub
ject to Review by the Chilian Court of
lected by the Families of the Murdered
Men.
VALPARAISO, Feb 6.-Judge of Crimes
Foster has passed sentence in the long
pending and much discussed Baltimore
assault case of Oct. 16, 1891. His sem
tence is subject to review by the court
of appeals. The document covers $50
pages, and goes all over again the evil
dence against the accused, and COM
pares it closely with the evidence pre-
sented by the prisoners.
The finding of the court is as follows;
Carlos Arena, alias Gomez, sentenced
to $40 days imprisonment for wounding
William Turnbull, the coal-heaver of
the Baltimore, who died of his injuries,
300 days for public disorder, sixty days
for carrying knife and twenty days
for giving an assumed name. This
makes a total OF 920 days.
Jos. Lahumada, sentenced to 800 days
imprisonment for injuring Turnbull.
FREDERICK Rodiquez, sentenced to 140
days Imprisonment for wounding Boats
vain Mate Riggin, another of the
murdered American seamen, for public
disorder and for carrying knife.
1t is held by Judge Foster that the
evidence does not show that Rodiquez
killed Riggin. On the contrary, it
is claimed that Higgins death was
caused by a shot which was fired by
some unknown person. The American
sailors claim that Riggin was killed by
policeman.
Gomez and Rodiquez, under the
Chilian penal code, must pay the fam
lilies of Turnbull and Riggin damages.
These damages are recoverable by civil
suit.
Congress will meet again in April.

CHICAGO TO NEW YORK.
New Air Line Railroad Proposed Be
tween the Two Cities.

tween the Two Cities.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 6.-Ex-President Kin
ney, of the 500 line, proposes to build
an air line from Chicago to New York,
and he is now in New York making pre-
liminary arrangements He outlines his
plans as follows: A straight line drawn
from Chicago to New York city passes
almost directly through Cleveland, and
a straight line from Cleveland to New
York is about 234 miles shorter than the
distance between the said cities by way
of Buffalo and Albany. Now, with the
enormous value of business between
Chicago, the great depot of the west,
and New York, the great seaboard port
of America, it seems as if q saving Of
234 miles in distance and of six hours in
time by express trains would warrant en-
outlay sufficient to accomplish the con-
struction of such railway.
