SOME BONANZA MEN

Denver Minrng Industry.
Multinillionaires are not the
product solely of modern civiliza
ton. In ancient times there were
rich men who could measure their
nhllions with the Goulds aud
Rokefellers. SO far as one can
tell from the classics, or their
murdered translations, there ap-
pears to have been only three me-
thods by which wealth was accu-
mulated in ancient days. when we
except robbery. The first was by
mining, the second by money loan
ing and the third in politics.
How did he get it may well have
been asked about all the rich
ancient politicians.
Certainly in proportion to popu-
lation there Is an immense lot OF
metallic monsy among the people.
II is difficult to conceive that the
accounts given of the value of the
! interior decorations in Solomon's
Temple was more than three times
as much as the total value OF the
gold and silver money In the world
at present, but Villalpandas' esti.
mates maks it such. While the
exterior OF the Temple is said to
have shone with FURNISHED gold,
/ it is probable that it was gilded
because the art of gold beating
into gold leaf was then known.
The metal used IN the construction
of the interior is said reducing
the gold talents to American mon
ey-to have been valued at $6,S79,.
$4,000, or as much as all the
money in the world at this time.
The jewels used are said to have
been OF equal value. Josephus
says the vessels of gold in the
Temple were valued at S2g600,000
900. and the vessels Of silver at
$3,200,000,000. The vestments
and robes of priests we're valued at
SI0,0O0,000, and the trumpsts at
$l,000,O0o, The total coat OF the
Temple is placed by Josephus at
SIT ,52l ,665, 1886, or about ten times
as much as all the money now in
the world. Pythen was worth $l5,'
100000; Senacss conhsticated
fortune amounted to Sl2,500, 900;
Lentellus was estimated at SIT 800
600; Augustus Ceasar was esti-
mated $l60,0oo,000; Tiberius left
n fortune of $lsS,000,000, and Cal
igula, who inherited it, blowed it
all in in twelve months.

DAYS. Julius Ceasar owed $l6.000,-

paid il all in a short time. In adj
ditiou he purchased the friendship
of Curio for $2,500,0 900, and that of
Lucius Paulus for $7,505, 900.
Antony owed 100000 when
Caesar was killed, and he paid it
all in two months after assuming

after it was dne, The other should
have th right to cancel the con
tract as to all ore not delivered at
the time Of such default, il
appeared that the purchaser made
the first three payments. but, not
needing all the ore, the seller de
livered less than the amount called
for by the contract during such
three months, and the purchaser
failed to make the fourth payment,
wbereupon the seller refused to
ship more ore until the same was
made, SO that no more was shipped
and no further payments made,
the Circuit Court of the United
States held that the refusal to
make further shipments was an
exercise Of the right reserved by
the seller by said stipulation in the
contract; that this did not amount
to an absolute recision OF the con
tract, emitting both parties to be
retorted to their original position,

purchasers failure to pay as
breach OF the contract, justifying

an accidental 01p1oslOn, Holmes stated to his friend that he got aIpipe of Pitzel's, filled it with tobacco, lighted it. then blew out the flame after the tobacco had been partly consumed and placed the pipe be- side the dead mans body.
 Itwas nearly o'clock in the afternoon, Holmes states, before he left the Callow Hill street house. He put on n hat of Pit zel's to partially conceal his identity and placed his own hat. which was of felt, un- der his coat. The criminal went directly to the Broad street station, so he alleges, and inquired at what hour the first train left for Chicago.
 Holmes says he does not distinctly re- member at what hour the railroad officials told him Chicago train would leave Phil adelphia, but believes it was between g assd 9:30 o'clock at night He then went to the house where he was staying and made preparations to leave the city. He and his wife, Holmes alleges, left for Chi cago that night.
 It is understood that if the prosecution conclude to indict Holmes for the murder of Pitzel in Philadelphia they will pro duce a witness who, it is said, heard the conversation between Holmes and Pitzel on that eventful evening when the latter threatened to do away with his life. It has also been learned that the state has another witness who was on the train on which Holmes and his "wife'' travelled to Chicago. --s.-.. This witness it is understood, can tes tify that Holmes sat in an apparent stu DOT on his way to the west; that he held a novel before him for over an hour, and was seemingly so much daZed that during that time he never turned page of thu

 "Aha," snoered the attorney, ESQ? And what was in the bottle?"
 ''It was empty"
 Empty, eh2 How could a man get drunk on an empty bottle?"
 "There had been whisky in it. It was labeled, and besides I could smell it"
 "Are you willing to swear that he drank it?''
 "Yes, sir"
 The attorney became very serious.
 "Now, MT. Officer,' he said sternly, "you have just said you found the pris- oner flat on his back with the bottle on one side of him and the contents on the other. Will you please explain to the court how you can make your state ments agree?''

Alleged Graveyard Insurance Fraud Con-
 sPiratOrs Brought to Trial.
 MoREHEAD CITY, N. C., July 3o.-The noted graveyard insurance conspiracy ex- isting at Beaufort comes up for legal in vestigation before a justice of the peace here today. A number of alleged conspira- tors are under arrest, some of them men of considerable prominence and respeeta- bility in the community. Colonel John W. Hinsdale is in charge of the proseeu- tion, and startling developments are antic- ipated.
 It will require week or more to take evidence of 50 or more witnesses to be ex- amined. It appears that there has been a conspiracy for some years to swindle in surance companies, and the charge is that the local agents, examiners and others have been working together. Their plans seem to have been to insure some person who was on the very verge of the grave from some fatal malady, and when the in sured party died to send a certificate that he died of pneumonia caused by exposure or some similar disease.
