1t is estimated that $500, 900 steel pens
are consumed daily. 1t is interesting to
think what they do. For instance, they
make love, write gushing poetry, scrape
out the briefs in breach of promise
suit, cut and thrust at reputation,
scratch out realistic novels and political
editorials, chronicle sensations, puff this
and belittle that, and, in short, do more
to make and break, to save and destroy,
to civilize and degrade the human race
than anything else under the sun.-De-

Oregon as a Vast Fruit Farm.

Oregon, according to Portland paper,
is certain to become "the greatest fruit
growing state of the Union" One ex-
pert says that Italian prunes grown in
the Willamette valley are superior to
those of Italy. The climate, he declares,
resembles that of the fruit region of
Asia Minor. One grower has planted
about $4,000 prune trees in $50 acres in
the Willamette, and it is said that prunes
and other fruits are being cultivated in
thousands of other farms.

FINDLAY (O.), March 30.--Joseph Lyle,
an inmate OF the National Soldiers Home
at Dayton, butchered his divorced wife
and two daughters in horrible manner
here this morning. He returned home
Sunday on leave of absence, and STAYED
quietly in the house with the unsuspect-
ing though estranged family. Yesterday
he carefully sharpened murderous
Ratchet After breakfast this morning
he crushed the skull of his daughter
Della with the weapon, and leaving her
for dead, dealt blow at his daughter
Emma, who escaped with slight wound.
He then rushed upon the invalid, who
was once his wife. He landed SIX blows
on the woman's head without breaking
the skull. The finger of her right hand
was cut off by blow. When the woman
became exhausted the fiendish ex-hus-
band crushed her skull. He then cut the
piano, pictures and furniture to pieces,
and gave himself UP. The jail is guarded
to-nIght, and public feeling is at lynching
point. Mrs. Lytle and Della will die.
The only motive assigned is total de-
pravity.
LATER.-At 1890 this Thursday morn
ing mob stormed the jail, took Lyle
out and hanged him. When the mob first
reached the Jail they could not gain adj
mittance. They then procured oil-well
drills and battered down the doors.
Lyle was dragged out into the street
and taken to bridge. A rope was placed
about his neck, but just as he was being
pulled up shot from revolver was
heard and the rope parted. The deter
mined men were not to be baked, how
ever. Lyle was picked up and taken to
the nearest telegraph pole, where he was
strung up. The victims are still alive,
but the death of Mrs. Lytle and daughter
Della is hourly expected.

Gallagher in the wind with his right, on

VIRGINIA New, March 30.-The intro
duction of the bill IN Congress providing
for establishing a United States military
post at Reno, by Senator Stewart Of this
State, is viewed with marked disfavor by
the members of the Nevada Miners
mons. The miners consider that it is
an entering wedge aimed at the destruc-
ton Of the labor organizations, prepare
tory to a reduction Of their present
wages, and that the soldiers at the post
will be used against the Miners Union
members, should they resist an attempt
to introduce cheap labor in working the
COmstock mines. The miners suspicion
that the bill is fraught withSpischief to
their union appears well-fouTMed. There
are no hostile Indians in this State, and
no other interests requiring military pro-
lection. Should there be an uprising
among the Piutes and other tribes, the
Nevada National Guard is considered
ample to protect the property and per-
sons of the whites from injury. The
companies Of the National Guard are
composed almost exclusively of miners,
who would naturally side with the
unions, should an attempt be made to in
troduce cheaper labor in the mines. The
Miners Unions of Storey and Lyon
Counties contain :, 800 members.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-In the Pen

Of Clerk Remand, who was DISCHARGED

ten articles which appeared in the New

them from the files. Renaud denied

Raum further stated in his complaint to

Physical Wreck articles. A Tribune
correspondent denied that Renaud wrote
the articles or furnished the facts.
Then ensued long colloquy between
Raum and Enloe. Enloe asked if Raum
sent somebody to see Russell Harrison to
get him 10 use his influence with the con-
trolling powers OF the Tribune to stop this
attack upon his (Raum's) administra-
ton. Raum said he had no such
knowledge or information, and knew
nothing of anybody having spoken to
Whitelaw Reid to get him to stop this
matter. He understood one of the princi-
pal men of the Tribune had a converse
ton with General Hussey. That gentle
man seemed to be laboring under the
impression that the department was
much dissatisfied with Raum's manage
ment, and they informed him quite to the
contrary. He supposed this gentleman
also saw Secretary Noble. He (Raum)
knew absolutely nothing about Russell
Harrison, Lemon or others interceding
with this man. He had not understood
that the influence of the Administration
was brought to bear on Whitelaw Reid.
