Good Examination .

NEW HAVEN, July S.-Returns from examination points show the whole number taking the final and preliminary examinations for Yale more than 1900, and the next aca- demic freshman class will probably muster about 325, compared with 300 last year, while the freshman class at Sheffield scientific school will be about 225, compared with POT last year. These numbers may be somewhat reduced if the financial stringency and business troubles continue.

opium smngeIers .

BoIsE, IDAHO, July s. United States Marshal Pinkbam reports the capture of a female opium smuggler named McDaggart, at Banner s Ferry The marshal secured sixty taels of the drug, which was hidden in the woman's berth. He says opium smuggling has been sytemat- ically prosecuted there for some time and thinks the capsure will lead to the apprehension Of large gang of smugglers.

to be considered. Jim Drummond hardly gave single thought to the re-capsure of the safe. So far as he could judge the forces were about equally matched. Some sad dle horses led along after the wag- cns seemed to indicate that their usual riders were, perhaps, with others of the band, resting in the wagons themselves. Surprise now was out of the question. He would marshal his men behind the low ridge on which he lay, form line, then move forward at the lope. No mat ter how noiseless might be the adj vance, or how wearied or absorbed their quarry, some one n the out law gang would surely see them long before they could come within close range. Then he felt sure that a portion at least would stampede for the hill, and that he would not have to fight more than ten or a dozen. His plan was at all hazards to cut out, recapture and hold liar vey's wagon. That, first of all {; then, if possible, the others.
 And now the time had come. In eager but suppressed excitement Meinecke and tue men came trotting up the slope.
