the allegation that the defendants are in

Mining Matters.

From private advices the EAGLE is
pleased to learn that the Gallinas Min
ing and Smelling company has received
final receipts through the Roswell land
Office, for its claims, the "Red Cloud"
and "Deadwood" in the Gallinas noun
tains. These are the claims which were
Jumped last year, mention of which
was made by the EAGLE. 1t appeared
at one time as though The rightful
owners, who had spent upwards of
$4,000 developing the properties, would
experience much difficulty in recovering
them, but, through the indefatiguable
efforts of Judge II. G. McDougal, of
Kansas City, who was here last July
and, probably, because of the death of
the leader of the Jumpers the matter
has finally been righted. With the
building of the Short line railroad these
mining properties would become active
and valuable producers at once.

A Flagstaff, Arizona, dispatch says:
The San Juan river gold excitement has
about subsided. Parties are returning
from the placer fields every day. The
majority say there is no gold to amount
to anything in the placers. II there is
any kind Of development done in the
river it will have to be done by capitalists
and the proposition as TO whether or not
it will pay is doubtful one. 1t is from
twelve to thirty feet to bedrock and lots
of water to contend with. There has
been no gold taken out of the San Juan,
notwithstanding it has been reported
that large sums have been panned out.
The camp is no place for poor man.
The country over which they have to
pass is desert one, and there is no work
there nor any gold.

THAT MISSING MAIL BAG
Found on woodpile in the Railway
Station.

Boston, August 1.-The leather pouch
from the Woburn post office, due in Bos-
ton on the 9.45 train Monday morning,
did not arrive. Yesterday forenoon the
pouch was found cut open on WOOD
pile in the rear of the Lowell statlon on
Causeway street. The postmaster at
Woburn had classified the letters and
tied them in bundles. Three OF these
bundl es had been undone. Some OF the
letters had been opened, but the great
majority of mail matter remained intact
The opened letters have beeu forwarded.
One letter. of which the address was
missing, was returned to the sender. In
spector Evans thinks the loss small. His
theory is the robbers took the pouch as
it lay on the platform of the station, cut
the Strap and opened it and were just be-
ginning to ransack its contents when
something frightened them away.

PEARY MAY BE ALL RIGHT.
At Least Here Is an Argument Which
Goes to Show That He Is.

The New York Sun thinks that Lieut..
Peary and his Greenland expedition are
the victims of sensationalism. Here is
the argument which the paper presents
to prove this:
The persons who are telegraphing
Lieut.. Pearys expedition are striving to
statements in these dispatches are as
follows:
1. That it is comparatively necessary
for Peary to procure Labrador dogs, but
that the prices asked by the natives are
so high that Peary has refused to buy
them.''
1t is not imperative that Peary should
buy Labrador dogs. though he desired to
procure supply there. If it was I'M
perative he would buy them, for he has
money enough to buy anything in
Labrador that he thinks he needs. The
exhibition of his vessel in Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, Boston and Portland added
fully $4,000 to his resources during his
last days here, and this sum was over
and above what he expected to have. He
can buy dogs in Greenland, and declines
to pay an exorbitant price for them in
Labrador.
2. ellis donkeys are perishing from
exposure"
Not one of them had persisted, how
ever, at last accounts. These same
burros are Injured to carrying heavy
loads of silver ore through snowdrifts in
the Rocky Mountains They won't sue
cumb easily.
"Peary is very much later now than
ax<r,oIifin, which
started, and may be prevented altogether
from carrying out the objects of his ex-
petition. The forming winter ice renders
it extremely likely that his ship will get
frozen in and be compelled to stop there
till next year.
This is simply nonsense. About ten
days ago Peary, according to the reports
from Labrador, was within few hun
bred lies of the South Greenland coast.
In 1891 he was only five days steaming
from the Strait of Belle Isle, much
further south, to within sight of the
Greenland coast. He has had ample
time now to reach Upernavik, or even
| the southern edge of Melville Bay.
No intelligent person would write that
| ''Peary is very much later now than any
| exploring expedition which ever start
ed" AS a matter of fact he is earlier
than most previous expeditions bound
for the same region. Melville Bay is the
only troublesome piece of navigation on
his route, and it is least likely to be
troublesome in August Ross crossed to
the north side of Melville Bay on Aug.
| II, Inglefield on 20, and Hayes on Aug.
25. Kane reached Smith Sound, a little
above Peary's supposed camp, on Aug. 7,
| and the Polaris reached the latitud OF
Peary's camp Aug. ~.
Judging from the etters from Labra-
dor Peary has good prospect of getting
north of Melville Bay somewhere between
Aug. and 10, which is earlier than most
other expeditions. He may be a week
longer in reaching BowdoinBay, where he
expects to build his house, if he carries
out his purpose to stop at all the Eskimo
settlements between Cape York and his
/ winter camp.

A YELLOW" GAME,
Lost by the Portlands in the Loosest of
Playing.

During this season the PRESS has stood
by the Portland ball team, rejoicing in
their victories and sympathizing with
them in their defeats. Censure has been
avoided because the club has been badly
crippled by desertion on the part of the
best players, and the odds against which
they have had to fight in the way of hos
tile outside managers, but disgust was
depicted on the faces of every one OF the
$50 spectators present at yesterdays
game, which was as yellow game as
was ever seen here. Better ones are
seen on the back lots of this city every
afternoon in the week.
Madden six bases on balls.
Dilworth twelve, four being in success
sion.
No wonder the players got disguised,
and two of the players informed the
writer that after the game Dilworth was
fined $50 for Indifferent playing. There
were loud calls for Mains, but the same
old bluff was given, she is saving his
arm" Yet hisarm allows him to slime"
the ball in from deep right every day
with the gfeatestsof ease.
Madden started IN to pitch yesterday,
and in the first the Reds made three hits
and he gave one man his base on balls.
In the second he was hit for double
and gave two men their bases n balls.
In the third he capped the climax by be-
ing hit for five bases with total of six,
and he gave three men their bases on
balls, and the Reds had II runs to their
credit. There were loud calls for Mains,
but Dilworth came in, and he made a
record that will not be forgotten here.
He would hold the ball in an exasperat-
ing manner which aroused the wrath of
those who wanted to get home before
dark. Then the Reds began to guy him
and ratified him badly. In the first four
innings that he pitched the Reds did not
hit him for one base even, and yet in
that time he gave 70 men their bases on
balls and hit another.
In the eighth he went to pieces, and
the Reds had picnic. After two men
out they won the game. The visitors
needed six runs to win. Captain O'Brien
hit for two bases. Guinasso followed
with single, and Whitney brought both
in by a double. Flack flied out and
Meagher struck out. Sullivan hit
through Clymer, scoring Whitney. Kiley
got his base on balls, and Gray singled,
filling the bases. O'Connor got his base
on balls, and the bases were still full
when Captain O'Brien again came to the
bat. He cleared the bases with fine
drive to right for three bases, and they
had won the game, as Umpire ahoney
called time in order to allow the players
to catch the boat. The score:
BosToNs.

CONTEMPT OF COURT
Is the Crime of the Chicago Fair Officers
and Directors.

Chicago, Aug. Judge Stein of the
Superior court this morning decided that
the Worlds Fair directors and officers,
who had been directly responsible for
closing the exposition gates Sunday, July
%, had violated the injunction granted
in the Clingman petition and were con-
sequently guilty of contempt. Directors
Gage, Hutchinson, Henratin, Mentally
and Keerfoot were fined $1,000 each,
stand committed to Jail till the fines are
paid.
In case of Director F. Lawson the court
held that the officer had voted in the be-
lief that the injunction had lapsed and
was not Intentionally guilty. In view of
this mitigating circums lance fine of
500 was imposed.
Director General George R. Davis was
held less directly responsible and was
fined $3.50, with the same provision re-
garding payment.
Messrs. Massey, Forbes, St. Clair and
Higginbotham were regarded by Judge
Stein as instruments for the execution
| of the directors ruling and were dis
charged.
Director Nathan was also discharged.
Attorney Eddy representing the Fair"
company moved for an appeal from the
courts ruling.
At the close of the arguments the judge
granted the appeal.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The Lewiston Journal is authority for
the statement that there is to be gem
eral movement next year, throughout
Maine, led by the Maine cities, petition
ing the legislature to SO amend the con-
stitutional debt limiting clause as to give
cities clear right of way to the pos
session of water systems and the owner
ship of all properties in and under the
public streets, if they so desire. Portland
Augusta, Bangor, Lewiston, Auburn and
other cities will join largely in such pc
tition, the Journal says, the evident in
tention being to develop the idea of mu-
nicipal ownership much more in The
future than it has been in the past.

Those people who put out poison for
dogs little realize the risk they sometimes
take. A baby daughter of Sidney Cheney
of Randolph lately came near losing her
life in strange way. A dog belonging
to neighbor had got dose of poison,
and in searching for water, ran across
saucer with some beans in it, which Mrs
Cheney had set out for her kitten. Some
or the saliva which droppes from the
dogs mouth fell into the saucer, and
later the little girl in playing around
found the saucer and as babies will, be-
gan eating the beans. Her mother saw
her and took her away. She noticed
there was greenish substance mixed in
with the beans, and when in the night
