Water Too Much for an Arizona NJ,


Right in San Francisco today lives a
man who was a rlngleader of mob in
Tucson that was foiled in most peculiar
way in an attempt to lynch prisoner who
was charged withsmurdering prospector
Court was in session at the time and the
prisoner was confined in a cell in the Tue
son court house, through the main entrance
of which was the only way of access to the
Jail from the street. An adjournment had
been taken for the day, and, as it happened,
the only man left at the court house was
the janitor "a slow, methodical old fellow
named Hand.
Rumors had been circulated for several
days that an attempt would be made to
lynch the prisoner referred to, but as no
demonstrations had been made the sheriff
had grown careless, and had removed the
guard. Just about the dusk of the even
ing in question, the old janitor, who was
enjoying q smoke on the court house steps,
saw mob approaching, and in an instant
realized its meaning. Slowly removing
his pipe from his mouth, he laid it care
fully aside and stepped into the corridor OF
the building
A section of fire hose stood near, and de
lberately unreeling it, he screwed it onto
the hydrant and adjusted the nozzle. He
stood there In readiness. and when the
leader of the mob reached the doorway he
turned the water on full force Owing to
the great elevation OF the reservoir the
pressure is enormous, and the stream ms it
struck the teader staggered hfm He hest.
tated and turned to face his companions.
That settled it, and before they could re-
cover from their surprise every man in the
mob was drenched from head 20 foot.
The stream seemed To increase in force
and volume, and one after another the
would he lynchers fled. In five minutes
not one of them could be seen in any direc.
ton, and when the sheriff put in an ap.
pearance old Hand had reeled up the hose
and was again seated on the steps smoking
away us If nothing had happened. San

The recent hanging of the Virginia
desperado, Taltou Hall, has brought in.
TO prominence remarkable little toHU
called Big Stone Gap, situated among
the mountains, twenty miles from Wise
Court House. FURNISHED the courageous
judge who tried Hall, eight of the jury
who convicted him, and the captain and
two.thirds of the guards who saw his
sentence executed. Three years ago Big
Stone Gap was the worst spot in this bad
REGION. 1t was settled then by young
blue grass Kentuckia and Eastern Vir-
rinians, 'furrners' rs the mountain peo'
pie call them. They represent the best
blood in both States, and most OF them
are graduates of the three big Eastern
colleges and one Southern university.
Il was the habit of "toughs" TO come
into town aud gallop through the streets,
firing their pistols right and left, while
the storekcepers shut up shop and went
to the woods. These young Kentuc'
kians and Virginians settled at Big Stone
Gap, organized themselves into volun.
teer police force, equipped with revo'
vers, billies and whistles. They fought
the toughs with Winchesters aud pis.
tolls, and for a time street fights came
daily. They maintained the law, how
ever. To-day a whistle anywhere in the
town, at any hour OF the night or day,
will bring a dozen men to the spot in as
many minutes. 1t is the one place in ali
the Cumberland range where feud or a
fight is now impossible-the one place
where the law is enforced with Spartan
sternness, and in which there reigns the
peace Of a Quaker town.

A scientific writer saws that if peo-
pie on the star Sirius have telescopes
powerful enough 10 distinguish OBJ
iects on this planet, and are looking at
it now, they are witnessing the
destruction OF Jerusalem, which took
place over 1900 years ago. OF course,
the reason of this, explains the Atlanta
Constitution, is that the light which
the world reflects, travelling as it does,
at the rate of 1856, 900 miles per Soc
ond, would take over eighteen centur-
les to reach the nearest fixed star. In
the light of this astounding fact, the
problem of the Judgment Day be-
comes q simple one. Somewhere in
space q mans whole history is un-
winding itself in awful panorama, and
so always will be told and retold in
some portion Of the universe. The
iisembodicd spirit Of the dead, wan
leling thousands Of years hence on
some remote star, may suddenly be
confronted with chapter from his
former life on Garth and mourn again
over his old mistakes or rejoice again
In his earthly victories. 1t will pay q
man to send hurliug out through space
at velocity of 1856, 900 miles per sec
ond record which he will not be
ashamed to face if he runs up against
il on Sirius 1900 years in the future.

Curiositles of Grave RObbing.

Under the laws Of Draco, which
you will remember as being the most
severe code ever drawn up, all grave
robbers were put to death without
trial. The old Athenian laws put a
slave 10 death for disturbing body
after interment; but, in the case of a
freemau, q "confscation of moiety
of his possessions" was the penalty.
At one time Gin the time OF The
seycnth and eighth lIenrys) the Eng
lish laws held that at is deemed un-
lawful 10 open grave for a second
person, except for husband or wife "
If have not been misinformed,
grave robbers in this country only lay
themselves liable to fine and imprls-
onment for a short time, unless II can

clothes along with the body. For this

The value of the foreign trade of
the Great Lakes is inconsiderable as
compared with the immense coastwise
trade, being but &C per cent. of the
cargo tonnage. During the season of
1890, the foreign commerce of the
lakes was sl9, ,062, 800, and total value
of the entire lake traffic was estimated
at $342 ,522, 290 for the year 1890. 1t
is said that The freight carried on the
lakes in a single year would cover four
tracks stretching from New York 10
San Francisco, with continuous lines
of fully loaded cars, and there would
be sufficient amount left to cover in
the same way two add itional tracks
from New York to Chicago. The
tonnage of the lakes in 1891 was about
one fourth of the total tonnage of the
entire merchant marine of the United
States
