John Curtin Kent Liberated From an
English Prison.

Pawntucket, X. |. June 25.-Through
the efforts of eX-MayOr Hugh j. Car
roll, of this city, John Curtin Kent, an
American citizen, imprisoned i'll Eng
land on the charge of being IA dyna-
inter eleven years ago, has been re-
leased through the intervention of the
state department. The fact was made
known by letter received from Secre-
tary of State Olney. Kent is very i'll.
1t is claimed he was innocent.
The story of Mr.. Kent's incarcera-
ton is AS follows: Eleven years ago at
the time of the Fenian uprising i'll Eng
land, when many arrests of alleged dy-
namiters were made, Gallagher, of
Brooklyn, was arrested in that country
and convicted on the charge of being a
dynamiter. He was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life, and is now serving
his sentence. The police arrested John
Curtin Kent for completely, and SEN
fenced him to the same term. Kent
was an American citizen, as well as
Gallagher, and has always claimed
that he was innocent of any completely
and that he knew nothing of any plot,
being arrested because he was friend
of Gallagher. The Irish National
League became interested in the case,
and retaining Mr.. Carorll to represent
it, the latter worked through the state
department, and his final success is
shown in Mr.. Olney's letter. Word
comes from England that Kent is very
i'll, and it is doubtful if he can live
many months. He will be cared for
by Thomas HI. Roman, of New York,
well-known by Irish nationalists, and
word to this effect will be sent to Eng
land at once.

Clyde, n. Y, June 26.-William
Campbell, an old soldier from Buffalo,
N. Y, is i'll Jail here. He told Chief
of Police Hamilton that he was on his
way to Washington to kill Grover
Cleveland. Il know the chap well, "
he said, land mean to put him where
he won't be able TO do the old soldiers
any more harm" Realizing that he
had crazy man to deal with, Chief
Hamilton replied that he, too, longed
TO perform the same act, and suggested
that they act together. President
Clevlend could be more easily assassi-
mated by two men than one, you
know" he said to the lunatic. To
this the man assented and away they
started. Chief Hamilton kept the man
talking about himself and telling him
he would carve President Cleveland,
until the Jail was reached. AT this
point the man grew suspicious, and
wanted TO know what they should do
in that building. Hamilton replied
that they would step in and talk the
matter over. The next second the
1unatic was hustled into cell.

MILLIONS IN MINES.
Large Investments Are Made In Pacific
Coast Property.

New York, June 26-"Millions of
dollars have been invested in gold
mines in the past few months" said
John McDonough, president of the
First National bank of Creede, Colo
"A curiours proof of the solidity and
conservatism of the investors is the
fact that they do not allow these de-
tails to be made public if they can help
it, the odium attached of late years to
the mining business being so great as
to almost affect a mans credit. This
spring several large gold properties
have been purchased by New York and
Boston capitalists, but these men adopt
a different method to that III vogue a
few years ago. The days of wildcat
ting i'll this country are practically
gone. Investors nowadays first make
sure of the presence of an ore body.
They pay for ore in sight. That is the
method which has made David Motfat,
of Denver, and other miners so
wealthy. The capitalists step III with
the cash required to bring the ore to
the surface. Deals have been put
through TINS spring III CalllOrnla,
Idaho, Colorado, Montana and Arizona,
some of them running over million
and half dollars. In Europe, espe-
cially in Paris, London and other money
centers, there seems to be mining
craze, but that is for South African
stocks, and we do not want any of
that excitement over here, as it dis
credits the business aspect of the min
ing world.

OUR MINING PRODUCT
Annual Showing OF Resources
of the United States.
A DECLINE IN LOCAL OUTPUT
This Was Mainly Due to Financial Com
ditions, But Special Features Also
Affected the Net Result.

Washington, June 25.-The annual
government report of the mineral re-
sources of the United States for the
year 1894 has been completed. 1t was
compiled under the supervision of DR..
d. T. Day, chief of the mineral depart
ment of the geological survey, and is
based on reports of many experts and
special agents The total product
shows a great decline from the output
of 1898, due, the report says, mainly
to the financial conditions, but also to
special features, which effect the net re-
suit. The most notable of these was
the strike of the bituminous coal min
ers, accounting largely for the greatly
decreased production and increase i'll
price for part of the year. The strike
naturally increased the use of anthra-
cite, which partly made up for the in
creased demand for this substance due
to depression of manufactures.
The low Price of silver is RESPONSE
bic for the decreased production. The
consumption of petroleum exceeded
the production, greatly decreasing the
stocks at the wells and increasing the
prices. The total product was valued
at 1924, 1856, 131. The total value of
the non-metallic mineral product was
$3.50, 1856, 343; metallic, $218, 1853, 1888,
and unspecitied mineral products are
estimated at $11 ,000,00
No statistics are given of tin. The
report states that the declining tend
ency in iron and steel for 1898 cOntin-
ued for 1894. The pig iron production
decreased from 1924, 500 long tons to
6,657,38S, and the valuation decreased
nearly 500, 900, 900. Iron ores increased
292, $50 long tons i'll production and
81, 687, 938 in value.
The gold product for the year is the
|, 739, 0S1 troy ounces for 1898, with
coming value of $50, $50, 900. The sill
yer production declined over $1,000, 900
ounces The rapidly increasing zinc
product of the late years was checked
in 1898 and 1894 and a slight decline
is noted in both years. The exhaustion
of the Virginia pockets of ore caused
decline in the manganese product,
which was less than half the output in
1892. Careful examination of the zinc
mountain, North Carolina, locality,
indicates considerable which may yield
3 per cent The nickel product was
reduced one-fifth of the 1898 output, and
antimony valuations decreased $4,000.
The product came from Nevada and
was smelted in San Francisco. The
petroleum export was the largest yet
recorded, over 10O,0O0,O00 gallons
more than in 1898.
The total value of the total product
of stone of all kinds increased from
1888, 8S5, 1853 to $4,000, 1902. Baryts,
ochre, amber, soap stone and venetian
reds showed a material increase. The
value of rough gems decreased from
1884, O41 in 1898 to 1882, $50 i'll 1894.
The mica industry is still supplied
by irregular mining methods, and min
eral waters declined over $4,000 i'll
value during the year,

OATHBOuND WITH PASSWORDS
A New York Conspiracy to Defraud In
surance Companies.

New York, June 25.-As result OF
the Investigations made during the last
few weeks, much evidence has been ac-
cumulated tending to show the exist
ence of a gigantic conspiracy to de-
fraud insurance companies and divide
the insurance money.
On the confession of one of the chief
instruments in the conspiracy, cor
robrated by documentary evidence, 1t
would appear that for five years or
more combination Of fire insurance
adjusters, policeman, attaches OF the
fire marshal's Office, attaches of the
district attorneys Office and hired in
cendiaries have made business of set
ting fires and have thrived upon the
proceeds.
They did not content themselves
with setting such fires as came III their
way. One or more Of their men
drummed up trade. They went to
merchants in this city and Brooklyn,
coolly set forth the advantages of fire,
and opened for signature contract
stating the per centage of insurance
money they should receive for their
troubles.
1t is confessed that as the result of
the operations of these conspirators
seventy-tive fires have been deliberately
set within the last two years, and the
insurance companies have thereby been
swindled out of nearly 81, 100000. On
one fire $149, 600 was received i'll in
surance, and on another $28,000 was
paid. The incendiaries used a fluid
consisting of gasoline, benzine and
naptha. This was smeared on the
stock and candle was left burning.
When the candle burned down there
was an explosion, followed by roar
ing flames.
The insurance money was divided
between the fire insurance company
adjusters, the fire marshals men and
the insured, and the men that set the
fire got from $25 to $500, according to
the magnitude of the job.
The conspirators were oathbound
and had passwords.

ceiVed a severe cut in the head and two
of the porterS, who We're in the baggage
car were slightly bruised.

moved, with the obvious purpose Of wreck
ing the train. Notice of the accident was
telegraphed to Charleston. the headquar-
tiers of Supt. Gadsden of the Charleston
and Savannah railway, and wreckine
