course of a couple of weeks he was
heard of up in the Humboldt valley.
His advent was characterized by feat
which has no peer in stage robbing.
He caught the up stage and the down
, stage just as they were about to pass
each other at 8 o'clock in the afternoon.
, One had five men and a woman, and
the other four men, q woman and a
boy. With the drivers, there were
| eleven men, and all we'll armed, and
yet he appeared so suddenly and moved
about so swiftly that it was at first
bers in the attack.
The drivers he paid no attention TO,
but he lined up the nine passengers,
searched the first, and made him go
through the others. 1t was said that
his haul amounted to $1,000, and as it
was all in gold coin, he had it lying on
blanket in the road when the passen-
gers re-embarked and the stage rolled
away.
| By never interfering with the mails
or express matter, Gentleman Joe es-
i capped making official enemies. Neither
. Uncle Sam nor the express officials were
! much concerned in hunting down a.
man who did not interfere with their
property, and such pursuit as was
made by the sheriffs ended in smoke.
In his first year Joe held up thirteen
different stages and made a gross haul
of at least $4,000 He was never known
to enter a town, and probably lived
alone in the thiclSets and mountains.
He had a good horse and two revoI-
vers, and occasionally appeared at a
mill or country store to make pur-
chases of provisions.
At the end of a year the rewards Of
fered for him amounted to $1,000. His
last hold-up had been on the Yuba
river, in California, and seven men set
out to capture him. They hired a reg
ular coach, dressed one of their num-
Der up as a driver, and hid another in
! the boot.
All We're, of course, armed to the
teeth. 1t may be that joe in some way
got word of what was up, for he caught
the coach in a rocky pass, shot the

SALTWATER NEWS.
AdOlph SchInitz Confesses Rob-
berry and Arson.

Adolph Schmitz, a young man az
rested in this city some time ago on
a chage of having stolen $3.50 from his
uncle, William Reinerts, in Houlton,
and subsequently set fire to the house
to cover UP his guilt, confessed in the
Jail at Hudson, Saturday, that he was
the guilty party. He stated that he
had done the job alone, and told his
uncle where he had hid the money.
A revolver he had stolen was found
where he said he had left it.
John J. Mcdonald, a Saltwater, boy
who is serving a term in prison for
biting mans ear off, is now confined
in the crank room in the solitary,
where he will soon be examined as to
his sanity. Mcdonald has not been
right for some time, but about two
weeks ago he became imposed with
the idea that he is soon to die. A
number of his relatives reside in
Saltwater.
Yesterday was a veritable spring
day, and toward evening buggies and
carriages took the places of cutters
and sleighs. Water flowed down the
streets Of the city in torrents, and the
hill sides are beginning to show bare
spots. This weather is not very ac-
ceptable to loggers, who fear that
logging roads will be spoiled, and that
work will have to be suspended much
earlier than expected

Foremost among road agents was
Joe Quinn.
He was asgambler, a prospector, a
miner, a man who could and did
shoot when occasion required, but
not one to be warned away by a
vigilance committee because he was
worse than the average.
Joe went broke on cards, got
cheated out of rich find" of sill

to pick w a new occupation. With
those who knew him there was no
doubt that he was well educated,
and had been brought up a gentle
man.
He left Virginia City to blossom
out as a road agent, and he had no
partner.
Judge Heller, famous for his de-
cision that Judge Lynch outranked
the United States supreme court,

GUATEMALA WARLITxE
Though Her Officials Assert They
Expect Peace.


CITY OF MEXICO, Feb Pin spite
OF all reports to the contrary, negotia-
lions between Mexico and Guatemala
are not advancing, and the delay is
due to De Leons dilatory tactics, whilst
Minister Mariscal is doing all possible
to hurry the matter up, though it
must be confessed the case is very
voluminous. De Leon asserts that he
is fully empowered to arrange matters
to the end without the necessity of
consulting anybody. The appointment
of Senator Ransom as minister to
Mexico is received here with the great
est satisfaction.
GUATEMALA, Feb. 24-President
Barrios, accompanied by Gen. Molino
and Minister of War Morels, inspected
the troops at the garrison in this city
yesterday. Gen. Molino was inter-
viewed after the inspection, and said
that, whilst there was every reason to
believe there will be no hostilities
over the present questions, it behooved
Guatemala to continue her military
preparations as long as Mexico con-
tinues hers, adding that this country
would not be caught unprepared, and
if war should come Mexico will find
that she will not have SO easy walk
ing as she imagines.

FEW KNOW ABOUT THE Shakers OF
H0UNI lebanon.

We do not believe in their peculiar
religious views. We cannot enter into
the spirit of their sacrifices, and there
fore we don't study their habits of
life.
1t is not necessary to believe as they
do, nor to act as they do; but we can
and do respect their honesty of pur-
pose, both as far as their principles
are concerned and their worldly deeds.
Almost every prominent man has
some one speciality in which he excels,
especially if he has devoted his life
to its study and development
In one particular the Shakers excel
above all others and above all other
men or classes of men. This is in the
cultivation of medicinal herbs and
plants. They have made this study
for more than one hundred years.
They are also expert in extracting
from them their peculiar essences and
medicinal virtues.
This is their peculiar industry. Their
lives have been devoted to it. By it
they are supported. They excel in this
branch as do the Monks of the Order
Of Benedictine with their famous
liqueur.
Now, this lifelong study on the part
of the Shakers has not been in vain.
They have accomplished much good
Their medicinal extracts and cordials
are known throughout the world.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is
probably the most successful article
ever given to the public. 1t is not
cure for all diseases; it don't pretend
to be; but one disease it will cure,
and that is indigestion. 1t is not pre-
tended that it will cure anything else,
and a sufferer has not long to wait
to see the result.
Almost the first dose will give re-
lief, and, if continued, a permanent
cure will follow. The Shaker motto
is ITO try all things and hold fast to
that which is good" For this reason
the Shakers have put into the hands
of the retail druggists who sell their
Digestive Cordial, small trial bottles,
which can be had for ten cents each.
so that for this small sum the reader
can know if the Digestive Cordial is
adapted to his case.

MINERS sUFF0CATED.
Two Lose Their Lives and Nany
Others Are Injured.


BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. PA fire
occurred in the rock slope of the Tent
Coal, Iron and Railroad company's
mines at Pratt City this morning that
resulted in the death of John Patton
and Louis Stevens, two miners, and
more or less seriously injuring eighteen
others. Twenty miners, all convicts,
We're i'll rock slope near the air shaft,
at $50 this morning, when they detect
ed the smell Of smoke, and shortly
afterwards an immense volume of it
came wheeling towards them from the
engine room, which was between the
air shaft and the cage leading out of
the mine. The engine usually contains
no fire, but is used to pump compressed
heat into the mines, hence the origin of
the fire, which started in the engine
room, is a mystery. Driven by smoke,
the twenty men hurried to the air
shaft, and there huddled together to
keep from suffocating. Meanwhile the
smoke became thicker, as the fire issu-
ing from the engine room seized seven
trans and just on the outside q lot of
oil burned furiously. Breathing became
an affair of extreme difficulty. Twenty
three mules in the stables in the mine
also felt the smoke, and aried to es-
cape and tore about, kicking one an
other to death and making the night
hideous with their cries. John Patton
and Louis Stevens finally left the crowd
at the air shaft and tried to get to the
cage chaft. They never reached it,
but were afterwards found dead near
the engine room. One of the men had
his head beaten almost into pulp, in
dicating that he had tried to kill HIM
self rather than suffocate to death.
Smoke seen issuing from the shaft
brought help via the cage, and III
three hours the fire was out and the
eighteen men at the air shaft We're
brought up in more or less serious
condition from suffocation. The mules,
worth $1,000, were suffocated or killed
by one another's kicks. News as to
the condition of the rescued convicts is
that they will recover.

Only one of them was ever recovered,

of the wounded died, but no one in that

experimental station and to u marine bio
logical laboratory: and that a portion of
the Instruction supported by the gift shall

THE cREMAToRY NUISANCE.


The dcternin ed opposition, first in
South Washington and now in the North
western section OF the city, to the estab-
lishment of garbage crcmatories at those
points ought to convince the Commission
ers that they cannot hope to get such
plants in operation there without the most
annoying and stubborn legislation. This
great deal OF irritation, but will seriously
affect the disposal OF the garbage, and may
become the subject OF grave soIicitude to
the health department.
In spite OF all the assurances given by
the Commissioners the people decline to
believe that a garbage crematory is a
thing of beauty and that the odors enlanat-
ing from it are ''sweet incense in the
nostrils." II is well known that the sup
plies which feed the creniatory furna ces,
are i'll smelling and nau sea pro ducing,
and the ascertained experience OF other
cities warrants the assumption that the
inctneratiOn or these supplies win be at
tended with n number OF more or less dis
agreeable manifestations which would
seriously disturb the comfort OF the resi-
dents in the vicinity and MA terially affect
the values of real estate.
In locating, or attempting to locate these
crematories. the Commissioners seem to
have been more considerate of the conven-
icnce Of the contractor than OF the wishes
of the people. 1t has been the wish of
everybody that has been hea rd from on the
subject, that these establishments should
be put up outside of the city limits. 1t
would be even better il site could be pur-
chased in one of the adjacent Maryland
counties.
One thing the Commissioners can bc
pretty we'll assured Of, the erection Of
garbage crematories In or near the resi-
DENTAL parts of the city will be strcnuously
resisted by every lawful means a t the coin
mand Of those that feel themselves ag-
grieved.
