For instance, one states that in 1892
South Dakota leads in capital invested
in gold mining machinery and another
that the same state leads in capital in
vested in new mines. The novelty
which attracts most attention is the
display of pctrified woods, more durable

be employed for. and far more beauti-
full than any material Of the kind, with
the possible exception Of porphyry. 1t

WEDGED IN A SEWER PIPE.

A Game of Hide-and-seek Which
Nearly Resulted Fatally to a Little
Girl.
A little girl while at play was wedged
In sewer pipe the other evening, and
while suffering intense pain was finally
released by the breaking Of the crock.
For while, says the Pittsburg Chroni-
cle-Telegraph, it seemed that the child
would lose limb or perhaps her life.
The accident occurred at the corner of
Cherry and Main streets, Allegheny,
Pa.
Strung along the corner Of Cherry
street are a number Of clay sewer pipes.
The pieces are three feet long and ten
inches in diameter. About dusk a
crowd Of children among then Mamie
Kaylor, daughter of Councilman Kaylor
Of the Fourth ward, were amusing
themselves scampering over the pipes.
This sport grew tame and some one
Of them thought there was more ex-
element in playing ''hide-and- seek"
Little Mamie Kaylor, like the other chill
dren, would crawl into the pipes and
hide. After the game had proceeded
for some time it was noticed by the
other children that Mamie was missing.
While they were searching for her they
heard mutfied screams from the interior
Of one Of the sections of pipe. Running
to it, Mamie was discovered wedged
rim. In crawling in she had doubled
u leg, and the knee joint and
foot became wedged. The other chill
dren tried to release the girl by pulling,
but their efforts only added to the pain
she was enduring as well as to tighten
the hold Of the pipe. Some men We're
attracted by the cries and the efforts
of the children to release Mamie They
carried the pipe into the saloon Of John
Dickreader. Here they tilted the heavy
pipe and tried to shake out the little
one, but without success. The chlld

and fright and the men decided to break.
the crock. This was a delicate Job.
for chance blow might break the
child's leg or do more serious damage.
1t was determined TO chip thes-clay
pipe, beginning ut the end where Ma
mics feet were. With a mallet the
chipping process began, when suddenly
the crock split squarely in half and the
child was liberated.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 16.-The Ctroni-
Gle has the following special dispatch
from Chicago in regard to the efforts
which are being made there toward hold
ing Midwinter Commercial Exposition
in San Francisco:
Herr Cornely concluded his labors
among the foreign exhibitors to-day. He

Midwinter Columbian Exposition pro-
ject a grand undertaking, which. if
carried out, will benefit every exhibitor
who makes display quite as much COM
paratively as it will the State of Califor-
MIA. Exhibitors of all nationalities and

purpose of explaining to Californians IN
person how anxious the hosts of foreign
exhibitors are to open up a field of
commercial relations with the Pacific
Coast. They will take with them plans
OF the four buildings, which are to COM

figures and statistics enough to satisfy
all interested as TO the exact cost Of car

BORDEN MURDER TRIAL.
EVIDENCE TAKEN IN BEHALF OF
THE DEFENSE.
Testimony Relating to a Man Seen
With Bloody Hatchet
Ruled Out.
Special to the REcoRD-UNIox.

Special to the RECoRD-UNION.
NEW BEDFORD (Mass.), June l6,-The
Borden trial was resumed this morning.
The court decided not to admit the evil
dence as to the man seen with a bloody
Ratchet, muttering "Poor Mrs. Borden. -
This is the testimony given by French
man named Lemain, who stated that he
lived at Steep Brook, three miles from
Fall River on the New Bedford road. and
he is woodchopper. Two weeks after
the murders he said he was in the woods.
when on the other side of stone wall he
heard a voice which kept repeating:
''Poor Mrs. Borden Poor Mrs. Borden ~
He got over the wall, and approaching
the man, spoke to him. This man BRAN
dished an ak in threatening manner.
and the Frenchman raised his own ak.
AS the two stood there glaring at each
other, the Frenchman noticed that the
strangers right sleeve and coat were
covered with blood, and without word
the stranger turned and went away, The
Frenchman notified the police, who. in
stead of searching for the blood-stained
stranger began ponderous investiga-
ton into his (the Frenchman's) private
character and antecedents. The man was
seen again and the police were again no
titled, but nothing was done.
Sarah B. Hart testified that shortly be-
fore 10 o'clock on the morning of the
murder she passed the Borden house and
stopped at the north gate, and saw a
young man standing in the gateway. He
was still standing there when witness
drove away.
Charles 5. Sawyer, a painter of Fall
River, testified that he was put on DUTY
at the side door of the Borden house after
the murder. He was close to Lizzie Bor-
den all the time. She appeared dis
tressed. Saw no signs of blood on her.
A number of witnesses were then ex-
amined regarding the story published
about the time of the murder, in which
Police Matron Regain was quoted as say
ing thatshe overheard quarrel between
the Borden sisters which went far to fix
the guilt on Lizzie. All testified that
Mrs. Regain pronounced the publication
false.
Emma Borden, LizZie's sister, denied
that there had been any quarrel between
them, as reported. She said Lizzie was
at outs with her stepmother at one time,
but they had been good friends for three
years before the murder.
Emma Borden further testified that the
dress with paint on it was stained in
May, when painters were working in the
house. She said she asked Lizzie why
she did not destroy the dress, and thought
she did so. Witness knew of no enemy
her stepmother had.
Marshal Hilliard was the first witness
called in rebuttal after the defense rested.
He was asked as to the quarrel in the
Matron's room, and said he told the Ma
tron not TO sign the paper, denying the
give away story"
The defense then ended, except for the
testimony OF one boy, who will be heard
on Monday.

4otal OF 900 votes registered the Social
lists obtained l59,500, an increase of nearly
One-fifth over the election of 1890.
The only favors worn were by the So
cialists, whose agents were stationed out
side every polling booth, whereof there
were 62S in Berlin alone, and sold little
scarfpins with red roses and carnations,
which everywhere were adopted as the
Socialist colors. These little badges were
noticeable everywhere, and testified,
without the assistance of the polling rec
ord, to the enormous strength of the So
cialists here.
Late in the evening all the newspaper
offices had in front of them enormous
crowds waiting for the election returns
as they were posted up. The police were
obliged to clear way through from the
local Anzetger bureau, whence 200.000
copies Of an extra edition, giving the re-
suits, were distributed gratis.
Although in the provinces the Social
lists were not so uniformly successful as
in Berlin, yet the returns are eminently
satisfactory to them.
The only unfair maneuver which might
be described as a hit below the belt at the
Government was the action of the Kreuz
Zettung, which, on the morning of cleo
ton, published what is declared to be the
terms of Russia's contemporaries for a
treaty of commerce. These alleged pro-
posals were calculated to create the great
est alarm in the country districts, en-
bodying everything likely to prejudice
the German agrarian interests, and the
KrelSz ZettUng based upon them violent
attack on the Government, whose cowar-
dice, it said, had been taken advantage
of by Russia to make these almost in
sulting proposals, which, if adopted,
would mean nothing but ruin for German
agriculturists.
The official ReichSdnzeiger and semi
official Nord Deutsche Zeitltng in the
evening fastened to publish emphatic
denials, but the mischief had been done,
and the Kreue' object was gained in hav-
ing the fictitious proposals telegraphed
throughout the country. where they un-
doubleday had material influence on the
farmers choice Of candidates.

VICTORIA (B. co. June 16.-The Su-
preme Court room was crowded to-day
at the adjourned hearing of the extradi-
ton proceedings against Rev. Alfred r.
Reams of MERGED, Cal, charged with the
abduction of Lucy Rucker. Justice
Drake presided. Counsel for the prose-
cutIon applied Tor further remand until
Thursday, to allow the presence of the
girls father. Sheriff Warfeld Of MERGED
produced a warrant for the arrest of
Reams in the State of California.
Counsel for Reams did not object to the
adjournment, but stated that the girls
counsel had writ of habeas corpus for
the production of Lucy Rucker at the
hearing of the case. He had gone to the
Refuge Home, where the girl is confined,
to serve the writ upon the matron, who
refused to be served.
Justice Drake stated that he could not
allow anyone to interfere with the court,
and accordingly the writ was serveda few
minutes after court adjourned.
The prosecution say they are prepared
to produce evidence that the girl is under
IL years of age. The girl herself says
she is nearly Is years of age. Her father
is said to have record of her birth in
his family Bible, but it is claimed that
no official records can be produced.
The matter will probably be settled
when the case comes up again in few

c. w. Swain happened along going to
lone as the stage came to a halt. He took
Tovey's gun, in which had been placed
charges of buckshot. AS he passed round
the stage carrying the gun the road agent
was seen to stoop down behind the rock
and raise his gun, as if preparing to take
shot in case Swain should make any
effort to shoot. Finding there was no
such intention, he walked away.
A strong force is out guarding every
road and trail likely to be travelled. The

meager description of the robber passed
through Valley Springs, inquiring the
way to Copperopolis. Sheriff Gregory

w. Love visited the house nearest the
place of the tragedy shortly after 7
O'Clock last night. Kelly asked the occu-
pant what had been going on around

the Constable.

1t is said that the place where the rob-
Der stood could be seen from the porch.
and that man travelling in the direction
he was seen to take must have passed in
plain view of any one on the porch.
When told that Guard Tovey had been
shot dead near by he appeared surprised,
as though it was the first he had heard of
the tragedy. 1t is reputed that Tovev
and stevens had words at ball given at
jackson Gate three weeks ago, which led
to blows. [ Several persons in Jackson
say that Tovey told them that he received
letter few weeks ago signed Sharp.
telllngshim he had better leave Wells
Fargo's service and get out of the State.
Otherwise he would be apt to be killed. \
Sharp is the name of the man whose
partner, Jones. was shot dead by Tovey
in 1880 while the pair were attempting to
rob stage running from Carson to
Bodie. Sharp shot Tovey in the arm on
that occasion. Tovey went to farm
house to have his wound dressed. In the
meantime Sharp returned to the stage
and secured 500 booty while his partner
lay dead in the road.
Some think that the killing of Tovev
was from motives of revenge. The gem
eral belief is that it was for plumber
alone, and that if the letter of warning
was sent to the victim it was merely a
blind to direct suspicion to delusive
channels.
In conversation with W. w. Scott in
lone yesterday Tovey said that he ex-
pected to be killed; that he was apt to be
taken off at any time on account of the
trouble in Nevada in 1850.
NJ. B. Church, the Corofer, held an in
quest to-day. The verdict was that To-
vey came to his death by a rifle ball fired
by party unknown.

The Quick Response of Soldiers Pre-

BUFFALO IN. ", June I6.-What has
been threatened and expected all season
happened to-day, and Tonawanda is un-
der guard of militia. The Twenty-fifth
separate company of Tonawanda and the
Forty second of Niagara Falls are already
in the field, with Colonel WEIGH in com
mand, and two companies of the Sixty
fifth Regiment will be sent there if the
situation should become serious. Tona-
wandas say the beginning of the riot was
to-day, and only the quick response of
soldiers to the call for help prevented
bloodshed. The expected outbreak
among the striking Poles in the lumber
yards did not materialize, and tonight
the excitement has largely subsidized.
The Sheriff was called upon for protec-
ton, and in turn made a request for
militia. The lumbermen were sent word
they would be paid off this afternoon,
and this had the effect of quieting the
crowd. The men received their pay. as
promised, and most of them departed for
their homes in Buffalo.
