A GREAT DEcLlNE IN SILVER.

Tuesday afternoon dispatch was re.
ceived in town announcing that silver
had fallen to the extraordinary low figure
of 70 cents per ounce. This news was
somewhat startling and became the sole
topic of discussion among our citizens,
and remarks anything but complimentary
to Cleveland, Sherman, ct al, were in
dulged in. Wednesday the interest was
so great that Geographic dispatch was
sent to Salt Lake inquiripg for particu-
lars. When the answer came announcing
that the closing of the India mints was
the cause, and that the white metal had
suffered further decline. being quoted
at SO cents. msledictions were heaped
upon the infamous gang of sharks who
have brought silver to such a price and
the country to its present condition.
This is crushing blow to the silver
industry and will result in the shutting
down of every silver mine in the United
States. But while it will cause disaster
to the country. and especially to the
West, it will be the means of settling in
aspeedy manner, one way or the other,
the standing of silver in the world, and
the sooner the matter ia settled the bet.
ter 1t will be for all.
President Cleveland has called an extra

Mike Tovey, express messenger Of
Wells Fargo & Co., between lone and.
Jackson, California, was shot and 10.
stantly killed on the 18th inst, by a
highwayman who attempted to rob the
stage.
ToveY was noted for his bravery, and
all the stage robbers ON the Coast knew
and feared him. He had participated in
many ehcountera with the road agents,
and carried three wounds on his body re.
ceived in encounters with them. He
was the messenger on the atsge that was
held up near San Andreas nearly q year
ago, when lady school teacher was
killed by the highwaymeu.
Upwards of twenty years ago Tovey
was an express messenger on the Carson
and Bodie stage whenit was stopped by two
notorious highwaymen, Dow and Sharp.
Tovey slipped out the back Of the coach,
which was filled with passengers, and
shot Dow dead in his tracks. He was
then disabled by bullet from Sharp's
rifle, after which the latter fred several
shots into the coach to kill or intimidate
the passengers. He then robbed the
coach of its treasure and escaped,
Sharp was afterward captured. and serv.
ed about twenty years in the penitentiary
at Carson. He was released not long
ago.
J. w. Palmer, Of the Nevada hotel
here, who then resided in Bodie, was
one of the passengers on the stage which
was held up by Sharp and Dow. The
highwaymen did not modest the passen.
gers, Wells Fargo & Co. e treasure box

saspicioned as being the person who
killed Tovey, as he was heard on different
occasions to say that he would some day
avenge the killing of Dow and the in.
juries done himself.

Frightful Condition of India Previous
to the SepoY Mutinv
From the St. Louis Star-Sayings.

TOM Llb 81. LOUIS SbdT-SdYln0S.
Up to the breaking out of the Sepoy re-
bellion in India there were no less than
226 different religious creeds in that
country each having numerous follow
ing. There were no less than thirty-two
grades of caste and the lines
were so rigidly drawn that it was almost
impossible for one TO travel or do business.
Even in the ranks of the troops main
tanned by the East India Company every
thing went by caste If a soldier of second
caste walked near enough to the camp
fire of a soldier of the first caste to cast
his shadow across il the fire had to be put
out and rebuilt on another spot Out of
regiment numbering 800 men not
more than 100 could use the same YES
sells for carrying water or cooking food
Up to this same date it was estimated by
English statisticians that there were in
India 100000 professional thugs. IT'S. 900
professional strangers who used their
hands alone, 100000 professional poison
ers, and at least 250,0 men who made
theft, robbery and murder by violence
their daily and only avocation All but
the latter class Travelled about as religious
devotees and sheltered themselves
behind the mantle of faith" India was
intensely religious, and yet each and
every creed was declared by all others to
be a fraud and a sham. Every ruler. even
down to the head man of the village,
had arbitrary powers. but so long
as murder and robbery were perpetrated
in the name Of religion, the authorities
dared not interfere. The British were in
India for money. Previous to the mutiny
they were careful not to interfere with
caste or creed. If a British official in a
town on the Nerbudda, Gadavery or
Ganges river counted forty corpses per
day floating down stream, or il he figured
up 200 murders in q month in his territory.
not even an official inquiry was set on
foot AT Eagpoor, 500 miles east Of Bonn
bay. the number Of deaths az the hands Of
thugs, strangers, prisoners and profos-
sional robbers during the twelve months
preceding the outbreak was ,3S4, and yet
not one single criminal was brought TO
Justice.
