The demon who so villainously out
ragged and murdered Mamie Walsh, near
Milwaukee, is now in custody at Oregon
City. He has been in the state but about
a month, from Iowa, and bears the name
of George Wilson. A complete chain of
evidence fixes his guilt. The vagabond
cringing under the fears of lynching, had
the audacity to ask to be buried in the
same cemetery as Mamie Walsh, because
she was innocent and he also is innocent.
1t is possible he may be lynched before
tomorrow.

Taking Treasure From the Sea.

A scientist of Christiana proposes to
immortalize himself by proving the
feasibility Of retaining the gold and
silver in sea water by electrolytic action
He suggests that channel about sixty
meters wide should be selected for ex-
pertinent The place should be well
sheltered from sea and wind, and there
should be current of about four meters
per minute. Across this channel sixty
plates of galvanized iron, each two
meters by three meters. should be fixed
at an angle of eighty degrees with the
stream, and an electric current be sent
through the series to precipitate the
precious metals. Herr Munster. to whom
the credit of this conception is due, has
hit on a very fascinating idea.
