Southern Utah Gold Fields.

The greatest gold fever since tho
Ruby and California gulch diggings
drew thousands of miners into
those camps, has now taken COM
plete possession of the west. At
Denver, as well as in every camp
i'm Colorado, New Mexico and Ari-
IONA, there is nothing talked of
except the new placer fields of the
San Juan river, in Southern Utah.
At durango, Rico and Dolores. in
Colorado, many outfits have already
started for the new fields.
Mining men in nearly every town
are clubbing together and offering
big inducements To professional
prospectors to visit the mines. AT
Albuquerque, New Mexico, and 9TH
err points along the line of the At
lantic and Pacific the excitement
is intense, and railway officials and
clerks have thrown up their posi-
tions and headed the great army
of gold hunters. The fact that OF
the many who have already gone
into that country none have yet
returned is strong evidence that
the sand is rich enough To keel
them there.
New stage lines have been estab'
lished from Albuquerque, Farm
;nutnn md WinsloW. along the line
of the Atlantic and Pacific, anC
also from Durango and Dolores
Col, on the line of the Denver ant
Rio Grande. The gold fields arr
probably most accessible by way o
the latter points, which are onl,
ninety miles from them, and ION
shorter than other routes. Tn
stage runs by way of Bluff City
Utah, which is now the neares
settlement.

Idaho's New Diamond Pield.

Interest in the diamond discov-
ery does not abate. There is still
much skepticism about the matter
and many reasons for being eau
tious still exist. There is much
very good evidence that the stones
found are real diamonds, also
much evidence that they exist in
large quantities, but SO many dis
crepancies appear in various stories
told, that cautious people are
inclined to reserve judgement.
In very short time the existing
doubt will he removed one way or
the other for many parties are
visiting the fields and stones are
being sent away for examination
by persons who have no object in
deceiving any one. A Boise City
real estate firm have imported an
expert from the east Ia make an
examination. Several parties have
gone 10 Boise, that being the best
point and being as near the fields
as any other place.

Deluded Germans Kill Two Men in Fight
Against Cleanliness.

Hamburg, October 10.-Another fatal
riot occurred last night in st. Paul. a
suburb of this city, growing out of the
attempt to enforce the regulations
for preventing the spread of cholera.
The scene of the trouble was in one Of
the districts in the village inhabited en-
tirely by the poor and ignorant classes,
who seem to have horror of being
compelled to observe cleanliness and or
dinary sanitary regulations. When the
sanitary officers attempted to put the ex-
traordinary regulations in force, trouble
resulted. The officers were accompa-
MED by number OF policemen. A mob
quickly gathered when it became known
that the sanitary officers were about.
The mob made descent in force upon
the police and sanitary officers. One of
the latter was captured by the mob,
struck on the head with stone and
knocked to the ground. The mob

sALuTED AS A PRINCE.
The Story Told of Man Who is a Prince
Among Rascals.

Chattanooga, Octo ber There was
landed in Jail here Saturday a swindler
whose career has been as vivid and
varied as that of Jonathan Wild,
although his methods differed from the
infamous London thief's, He was
brought here by Detective True of San
Francisco True himself was once duped
by this. .swindler, SO it can be imagined
he did not give his prisoner chance to
escape during the long, journey from
California. The swipdler is Charles
Oscar Keller, and heds charged with en-
bezzling $4,000 from :, the Chattanooga
Brewing company.
Keller is an adventurer of any..aliases,
whose career reads like romance and
whose feats as confidence man range
from the commonplace trick Of beating a
board bill to the audacious and Napo-
leonic achievement of passing himself off
as Prince Pagow, cousin Of the Gar OF
Russia The latter deception it is
claimed, he practiced in Hong Kong,
China, several years ago, obtaining
thereby national salutes from all the
gunboats in the harbor, honors and fetes
galore.
Keller is a man of striking appearance,
even when viewed through the bars of a
CELL He is of medium height, inclined

hair, dark eyes and a handsome, closely
trimmed beard. His nose is slightly fat,
like Russians, but he might readily
be taken as belonging to almost any
nationality of the white race. He is
fluent conversationalist, speaks twelve
languages, according to his own story,
and is an expert in a score or so of trades.
He claims that at one time he was with
Stanley in Africa, and that at another
he was confidential adviser to the King
of Siam, for whom, at enormous cost, he
built a private circus and museum that
would have excited p. I. Barnums S envy.
Keller's story of his wonderful adventures
is corro borated to a certain extent by
Detective True, who himself fell victim
to his wiles, being beaten out of SIG. SIS in
Sacramento on bogus check, which
little incident led to the arrest of the adj
yeuturer, True also learned from others
of Keller's achievements in China and
Siam.
Keller, in telling his story, said: II
was born in Hamburg thirty-two years
ago, and have been knocking about the
world for some fifteen years I was
educated in Paris, where l subsequently
met the favorite son of the King of
Siam. Later went to Heidelburg.

Thirty-Three Babies Died in Six Weeks in

scandal has been caused here by the
coroner's investigation of the San Fran
cisco Founding asylum, where thirty
three babies died within the last six
weeks. The place was closed Thursday
last and twenty-four foundlings given
into the custody of the Catholic Infant
shelter. The coroner ascertained that
thirty-three waits died from lack OF

dark apartments. Before the coroner
