Merida, Yucatan, August 17.-There
great enthusiasm over the intention
u President Diaz, as announced in the
'lty of Mexico, to occupy Baclar with
SSIong force of troops. The Santa
l1uz Indians are filled with dismay
because they now realize that their
0rpredations are to be severely punish
H. Many of these Indians are fleeing
J.. Btlze to accept British hospitality
among the people who for many years
nave been furnishing them arms and
ammunition.
Il Is not believed that the leaders OF
Ie Indians can bring over 600 into the

'"rn to take up farms at Baclar di-
'tctiy the troops succeed in dislodging
ule hostile Indians now there.

Loaf Art discovered,

Pittsburg, August 13. - George
Crowley, Cornelius Shay and John
Ryan, iron wokers have found the
lost art of welding copper to iron or
steel. They show several samples of
the metals perfectly welded. The last
record history gives of these metals
having been welded was in 500 B. G.
The value of the discovery comes In the
fact that copper offers greater resist
ance to the action of salt water than
any other metal
The Carnegie Company has offered
the men fixed price for the secret. A
shop has been fitted up for the men at
the Homestead plant, where tomorrow
the men propose to weld plate OF
copper to an ingot Of nickel steel armor
plate. The Carnegie company hopes
to be able to cover all armor plates for
the big battleships.

JACK BRADY is HELD.
Will Answer Before the Superior Court
for Murder.


for Murder.
Marysville, August 15.-The exami-
nation OF Harry Williams for the mur-
der of Sheriff ]. J. Bogard, was re-
sumed in Justice Aldrich's court this
morning. Evidence was introduced
showing the close relationship between
the dead robber, known as Sam Nc
Gulre, alias Browning, and the de-
PENDANT, better known as Jack Nc
Guire, alias Jack Brady, they having
passed as brothers. 1t was proven that
the defendant had been in this city
the day before the robbery, and had
cycle when he left town. This was
taken with the fact that bicycle was
found near the scene of the holdup,
that was identified as having been
rented to Brady. The prosecution did
not think it necessary to introduce any
more evidence, as the tralnmen had
testified the previous day that the de-
PENDANT resembled the small robber
whom they could not positively iden-
tlfy, as he was masked
When the prosecution rested, Attor-
neys Carlin and Forbes consulted and
said they would reserve their defense
for the superior court.
Judge Aldrich said that it appeared
from the evidence that there was suffi-
cient cause to believe that a public
Otfense had been committed, and that
the defendant was guilty thereof, and
a Id hnl 20 1,nf
the superior court ON the charge of
murder, without bonds.
While there was sufficient evidence
to hold the defendant, the detectives
will have to hunt up considerable more
evidence in order to get a Yuba county

persons saw the killing, but refuse to
talk about it until the inquest, and
Carter's story is the only one obtain
able. He says the Chinaman abused
him because he complained that the
coffee at breakfast was watery, and
when he went into the kitchen to de-
mand that he take it back, Ling picked
up bread knife and made for him.
He vested the knife away, cutting his
hand in so doing, and then Ling raised
a chair to brain him, but he received
the blow on his arm. He admits that
he then made a rush at the Chinaman,
but only realized that he had stabbed
him when he saw the blood flowing
from the wound. The knife entered
the left side, cutting the kidney almost
in two, and almost came out through
the abdomen The Chinaman was the
only one of the race in the service Of
the Puget Sound & Alaska Steamship
COMPANY.

A letter received today from ex-Con-
sul-General Waller, by his stepson,
Bray, says that his baggage was taken
from him by the French on his arrival
at Marseilles, and that he made COM
plant to the United States consulate
at this place, but has heard nothing of
it since. He has not yet received a
word from Mrs. Waller or her child
rem since their departure from NADIA
gascar, nor has he as yet received the
money sent him by friends few days
after word reached this country that
he was i'll and without funds to supply
himself with medical attention. The
letter is dated July %.
Waller expresses much gratitude for
the interest taken in his case by the
newspapers of the United States and
by his friends, and was especially glad
to hear that the department of state
was looking after the protection of his
family. He expressed the belief and
hope that he will be released soon.
His health is little better than when
he last wrote.

THE VlNSON LYNCHING.
Regrets That the Law Was Not Allowed

Regrets That the Law Was Not Allowed
to Take Its Course.
Ellensburg, Wash, August 16.-The
body of the Wilson's were cut down
early this morning, taken to the under
takers and prepared for burial. Their
family was notified that the bodies
were at their disposal, but they tolu
the authorities they would have nothing
to do with them. Consequently the
court will bury them. There has been
no undue excitement here today, but
more than the usual number of men
have been on the streets discussing the
affair. Beyond question, there is not
a particle of sympathy for the despera-
does. All concede they only got what
they deserved, yet, while this feeling
prevails so extensively, it is a matter
of very general regret that the city,
which has heretofore been so law-abid
ing, should be brought into such un-
pleasant notoriety, and much regret is
expressed that the law was not allowed
to take its course. While the Jail was
being stormed Judge Graves and Major
Frost made an effort to get the militia
company out, but SO many people were
camping in the mountains that they
were unable to collect a guard until
the affair was over. No further trou-
BILE of any kind is at all probable, and
affairs are rapidly assuming their nor
NAL condition.

Mrs. Worthington Convicted.

San Francisco, August 16.-The
third trial of Mrs. Louisa Worthing-
ton, for the murder of Harry Baddeley,
ended this morning, the jury return
ing verdict of murder in the second
degree. In 1898 Mrs. Worthington
shot at Ferrin, her paramour. 1t was
said she had been urged to the murder
by her husband. Mrs. WorthingtOn' S
defense was insanity. The first jury
returned verdict of murder in the
second degree, with recommendation
of mercy. The supreme court ordered
new trial ON the ground of errors in
the charge to the jury, Judge Wallace
having sentenced the prisoner to twen-
ty five years. The present verdict is
without recommendation of mercy.

The official returns for August show
that the prospective fruit crop OF the
country, taken as a whole, is much
larger than for several years. The
report follows:
Apples-The crop met with no SER
ions obstacles to development during
July. The influences upon which the
proper maturity of the crop naturally
depends have been so favorable that
general increase in the index figures
have resulted. There are, however,
some very important states i'll which
the crop produced is less than half the
normal product. This is the case in
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Michigan and Wisconsin, the recent
percentages ranging from % in Michi-
gan to 40 in Vermont.
Peaches-The average condition of
peaches August l was 1913, against
92.3 in 1894. The prospective yield
has declined heavily in Delaware,
where about one-third the normal crop
is now indicated. New Jersey has also
suffered, the percentage falling II
points and resting now at 81. Condl-
tions in Connecticut and Georgia were,
respectively, 80 and 104. Maryland
hopes for two-thirds crop. Virginia
something under that. A short crop
is indicated for Ohio and for Michi-
gan, about half the normal product.
On the Pacific coast conditions approx
mate the general average for the coun-
try. Much complaint of dropping and
rotting is made, the latter especially
in the South.

SECOND DEPOSIT MADE
Syndic lie Is Determined to
Protect the Reserve.
MORE LARGE WITHDRAWALS
Another Million Dollars in Gold Was
Withdrawn for Export to Europe
by the Next Steamer.

Washington, August 16.-United
States Treasurer Morgan today received
a telegram from Assistant Treasurer
Jordan, at New York, stating the bond
syndicate had deposited $l,658, 900 in
gold in exchange for legal tender.
Later in the day another telegram was
received stating that $1,15O,000 in
gold had been withdrawn for export to
Europe. This leaves the gold reserve
at the close of business, $1O2, 431, 061.
This second deposit by the syndicate
confirms the officials in the belief that
it fully intends to see to it that the
$780, 900, 600 gold reserve is not in
vaded.

WE'RE ALL TOO DRUNK.
No One Able to Unlock the Doors of
the Cells.

No One Able to Unlock the Doors of
the Cells.
Lebanon, Ind, August ia mob
of forty men went to the Springfield
Jail about o'clock this morning and
demanded the keys of the cells of Mat
thew Lewis and James Ray, who as
saulted Mrs. Shields recently. The
jailer, seeing resistance was useless,
handed over the keys, and the mob
proceeded to business. Everybody in
the mob was drunk, and none of them
seemed to be able to unlock the Jail
door. After working about the locks
and bolts without result, they secured
sledghammers and tried to break down
the doors. They proved too strong for
them, however, and after two hours
hard work they abandoned the job.
They then emptied their revolvers into
the cells Of the Jail, but no one was
hit. Returning the keys to the jailer,
they said they would be back tonight
and left. The mob was made up of
men from Washington and Marion
counties. The two negroes will be
confined at Louisville until the excite
ment is over.
Nebraska's Prison Contract.
Lincoln, Neb., August 13.-Contrac-
tor Dorgan has left the state prison for
good, taking with him his personal
property His $33, 4O8. 80 warrant,
however, still remains in the hands of
State Auditor Moore. Dorgan secured
the penitentiary contract from Bank
Wrecker Mosher, when that worthy
went to the Sioux Falls penitentiary
for stealing 100000 from the Capt.
tai National bank. The state purchased
his interest, but his creditors purchased
the warrant. The land commissioners
said the affairs at the penitentiary
were in good shape so far as he knew.
He was inclined to believe that from
now on the various officials would be
obliged to depend on the board of pub
lie lands and buildings for the sinews
of war in the line of food and clothing
supplies. This revives the old question
of how much, if any, of the states ap-
preparation of SOL, 900 for the two
years can be used in the maintenance
of the prison. Warden Leidilgh may
possibly solve the problem by making
the institution self-sustaining.

BangOr's Relief Method.

A novel and effective plan for the re- lief of the suffering poor of Bangor, Me-, has been put in operation by the relief committee of that city this win ter. Paper bags were distributed among the householders, accompanied by printed slip, saying: ''Please put in this bag any contribution you may wish to make, however small, and re- turn to -" The result was very satisfactory. Many people in moderate circumstances had before refrained from giving because of the smallness of their contributions. but this method opened way for the mite of each one to reach the proper channel for the re. lief of the poor. The paper bags were returned, containing groceries, provis- ions that were not immediately perish able, clothing and money. The small individual gift in the aggregate became a mighty collection of food and cloth. ing for the relief of distress.

HON. ". I. SMITH
Returns From a Pleasant Out
 ing on the Coast.
California Is Greatly Interested ir This Valley and Is With Uso
 the Silver Question.

Hon. W. T. Smith returned yesterday morning from pleasant trip to the coast. He reports that he enjoyed the trip immensely aud feels greatly bene- fitted by the outing. He met several Ph9nixites on the coast who are enjoying themselves and are bound to make the most of their out ing. But even in the midst of their enjoyment they were solicitous about affairs in Phoenix and the honorable Tom was assailed with numerous ques. tions which were answered to the best of his ability.
 California" says MT. Smith, "glves every promise of having a prosperous year. All industries are reviving and money is easy. One thing that struck me most forcibly was the attention that Arizona is attracting, but Phoenix and the Salt River valley in particular. was interrogated by many persons of wealth and influence as to our re. sources, climatic conditions, etc. AL though not an immigration commits sioner, took pride in answering all questions about the valley and the possibilities of the future state of Ari. Zona."
 This country has no greater exponent for the free and unlimited coinage of silver st the ratio of Is to 1 than Mir. Smith, and he made it a point to as. certain the general sentiment prevail ing in California. He finds that the silver question is one of particular moment and interest to most Califor. nians and in the great struggle for su- premacy the golden state stands shoulder to shoulder with Arizona.

A Singular Adventure.

The pupils of the Polytechnic school in Paris are, like our naval and army cadets at Annapolis and West Point, re- nowned for their learning and disci- pline; but also, like our own cadets, oc- casionally they become restive and break bounds. Recently some of the pupils met with a singular adventure. They were sentenced to remain within the school limits for some misdemeanor, and of course were then more eager to get outside. One of their number hit upon the idea of escaping by way of a subterranean trap-door which led into the sewers. The foolish boys eagerly followed their leader, thinking it good joke; but, to their terror. they soon lost their way, and for two days and nights wandered through labyrinth, without eating, drinking or sleeping. Fortu- nately, at the end of that time, they met some scavengers and were rescued. The school authorities concluded that the truants had been punished enough, and the pupils agreed with them.

FREED DECORATIONS.

THE Order of the Ear of Corn is the peculiar title of an order established in Brittany in 1442. Its members took an oath to encourage as far as possible the agricultural interests of the country.
 DURING the days of Armenian inde- pendence an order was founded in that most ancient of countries; it was en- titled the Order of St. Blaise, and was established by an Armenian king in ITO.
 THE Order of Christian Charity was established in France in 1858, for the pnrpose of encouraging organized be- nevolent effort. It was one of the few distinctions more benevolent than po- litical or social
 THE Order of the Deaths Head is the somewhat peculiar designation of an order of knighthood, founded by Louisa Elizabeth, of Saxe- -Marburg, in 1709. It is a female order and has very limited membership.
 BEFORE the days ot the empire, the most highly coveted distinction in France was the star of the Order of St. Denis. It was founded in 1267, and was greatly encouraged during the lat ter days of the Bourbons

WOMEN IN OFFICE.
The New England Girl and the Widow
 Are the Ones Who Remain.

The New England Girl and the Widow
 Are the Ones Who Remain.
 In the offices in Washington the principal rival of the widow is the New England young woman, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. There are Massachusetts girls who taught school twenty and thirty years ago who got into the departments and are there yet. In the first place, the New England girl has been educated to the idea of making her own living and to regard marriage as very improbable.
 She is, first of all, scholar, and a scholar of natural capacity and breadth of character. She can do anything any man can do except, possibly, climb a tree. But she can climb a civil service examination, which is infinitely of more importance to the government and to herself. She may be widow, but she gets there, and she stays to a ripe old age. In fact, there is no rec ord of any widow or New England girl dying or getting married from gov ernment office. Any one of them would scout the idea of leaving a salary of s1, 900 or s1, 200 or S1 500 or s1, 800 year to do homework for some man who can't earn as much himself. So the New England girl and the widow stick to a salary and leave romance to cal low fools.
 As the civil service record shows that about one woman out of every sixth clerk is called for by bureau officials, nothing but superior adaptability and staying powers will account for the steady increase of women in all the de- partments. Perhaps the permanent removal of the subordinate places under the government from the polit- ical influences which once controlled them has done more for every class ot employees who can rely upon their owr merits than anything else has done.
