ASKS A SIXTH INTEREST.
Sensational Allegations as to
the Manner in Which Heirs
Are Defrauded.
DECEIVED as TO THE VALUES.
For One Thousand Dollars the De-
PENDANTS Secured Property
Worth Millions.

DENVER, Colo, June 19.-Thomas D.
Kelley OF Galena, H., in the United States
Circuit Court to-day petitioned for re-
ceiver for the Little Johnny Mining Com
pany, asking for the removal of the present
officers and an accounting of the COM
panys affairs. He also asks possession of
one-sixth interest in the Leadville b.
nanza mine, which is alleged to be worth
from $50, 900, 900 to 800 coo, 900. The plain
tiff represents himself, Margaret o. Kelley,
Michael E. Kelley and Annie 3. Kelley, all
of Galena.
The basis of Kelley's sensational and
enormous claim is rightful ownership of
one-sixth interest in the Little Johnny
mine. which was wrested from them by
connivance, conspiracy and fraud on the
part of the defendant persons and COM
pany. 1t is charged that for the paltry
sum of $1,000 they were fraudulently de-
prived of property which at the time of
the transaction was worth many millions
of dollars and which has since steadily in
creased in value.
The complaint alleges that Thomas J.
Kelley, son of Thomas D. Kelley, was
one of the original locators and patentees
of the Little Johnny. He died November
6, 1886, and by Colorado law the plaintiffs
are his heirs. In 1893 they conveyed their
interest in the mine to the defendants, be-
ing, it is alleged, by fraud and collision,
kept in ignorance of the value of the mine.
1t is further set forth that before, or soon
after the death of Thomas j. Kelley in. 1886,
the Little Johnny mine had become worth
from So, 600 to 100000. and had be-
come one OF the most wonderful bonanzas
in Colorado, and was paying many millions
of dollars of gold and silver at the time the
said fraudulent deed was secured; that it
has become richer and richer since that
time, and is now worth from $50, 900 900 to
$100, 900, 900; that the Little Johnny mine
is now yielding from 100000 to $500, 900 in
cash a month, all of which is being
fraudulentlY appropriated.

SILVER THE QUESTION.

CLEVELAND, ONO, June 19.--There is
no question before this convention but
that of silver. The silver men from Colo
RADIO are here and they have added their
forces to that of their brethren from the
farther western country. Colonel Trum bo
of California has prepared his resolution
and the Western delegates will stand by it.
1t reads thus:
"Resosred, That the Republican party

United States, and continued for the sole
object of protecting the people thereof and
maintaining their prestige as American
citizens among the nations of the earth

greeted with an outburst of cheers. The
Emperor, who appeared to be in the best

Order of the Black Eagle. On his head
was sparkling gold helmet, surmounted
by white eagle. The four young Princes
were dressed in white sailor suits and wore
straw hats. On the lawn in front of the

We have simply determined that we will not

We have still to say whether silver shall be 9
subsidiary coin, whether it shall be sustained
by the force of an International agreement n,
whether we shall bring it up to the gold basis
and establish 1t as primary money. These are
perplexing inquiries, and the time has not vel
come for the Republican party to announce its
views upon them.

victory was entirely due to the women and
the preachers.
She congratulated the people of Colorado
on their emancipation from "Waiteism"
and stated that the women of Colorado
''did it." She cited the fact that more
women had voted at the last election than
men and that nine-tenths OF the ladies had
voted the Republican ticket
Mrs. Foster created qnite a stir in her
closing appeal for free silver. She recon-
mended the Western Republicans to stand
by the party as long as the party favored
bimetallism, and that was the party's
record. She said the Republicans of the
West were more conservative on the silver
question than were the Republicans of
Pennsylvania and other States on the
tariff. She insisted that anything else
than bimetallism was dangerous to the
grand old party. With an ovation to Mrs.
Foster the meeting closed.

Perpetual Ice in Virginia.

II was not long ago reported that a
natural ice hosuse on grand scale
had been discoxered under singular
circumstances, on the north side of
Stone Mountain, six miles from the
mouth of Stony Creek, in ScottCounty,
Va. AS the story goes, it appears that
one of the old settlers first discovered
it about 1880, but owing to the fact
that the land on which it is situated
could not be bought, he refused to tell
its whereabouts, and would only take
ice from it in case of sickness. He
died without revealing the secret to
even his own family, and but for a
party of seng-diggels entering the re-
gion it might have remained a secret
for generations, as it is situated in an
unfrequented part of the mountain.
The ice was only protected from the
rays of the sun by the thick growth of
moss. resembling that seen dangling
from the oaks of Louisiana and Texas.
Its formation was after the fashion of
a coal vein. being a few inches thick
in some places, while several feet in
others. The formation indicates that
il had been spread over the surface in
a liquid state and then concealed. BY
what process it freezes or was frozen
is matter of conjecture. Some think
that it was formed in the winter, and
had been protected since by a dense
growth of moss which covers it. while
the more plausible theory is that be-
meath the bed is situated great natu-
raj laboratory whose function is a
formation of ether. and the process of
freezing goes steadily on through the
heat as well as the cold. The bed
covers ore acre-BroOkland Eagle

Pathetic than Humorous.

! An aged couple living in the south
part of this county. who had devoted
their three score and ten to rural life
and the making of farm. sold cheil
possessions for the snug sum OF
SIG. .OOO.
When the purchaser called with a
notary to close up the deal by taking
the deed OF title, the husband having
signed and passed it to the wife, she
positively refused to sign without a
consideration. saying that she had
spent her life in making the farm and
had never realized anything she could
call her own, and now was her oppor-
tunity. The husband failed to satisfy
her and secure the signature. Then
the purchaser asked to know what she
would take and sign the deed. fearful
that she would be eXacting beyond his
inclination to comply. After Il good
deal of hesitency she said she thought
she ought to have S2.which hhepromptly
handed her, and she signed the title.
She turned over the silverdollars time
and time again, laughing over her
good luck. She said:

UnciviliZed Corea.

/ Whatever may be the terms OF peace
! between China and Japan. the future
of Corea is assured. The Hermit
/ Kingdom, which from time immemoral
I has been more exclusive than our Four
Hundred, will now be thrown open as
! the Bowery.
To understand this change as it ef-
| fects the family relation it suffices to
say that in Corea every man is re-
quired to get married, and to be quick
about it. He cannot marry for money,
because nothing goes with the bride.
On the part of the wife, her education
teaches her only to make things pleas
ant for her husband and to do as she
! is hidden.
As a result of this adherence to an
cient customs Corea has absolutely no
FOUNDERS, wine-openers, gayety girls,
pantatas or other features of the Ten
derloin as we know it. It has no di-
vorces. elopements or scandals. 1t
has no superfuous woman, no erotic
novels, no worry over the question of
marriage being failure and no female
bicyclists.
Civilization will on the whole be an
improvement for Ctrea, and while the
future generations of Coreans will
probably thank us for extending its
benefits to them there are some aspects
of the situation which suggests that
we might be thankful if Corea would
uncivilize us.-New York World

this as one of the most important mea-
sures of the season. All the more
prominent lawyers support it. and say
it will save an immense amount et
money in criminal costs. The argu-
ments used in behalf of the measure
are to the effect that as class prose
cutting attorneys are young and mex
perienced lawyers, and consequently
unable to cope with the able counsel
usually employed by persons charged
with crime. 1t seems prosecuting at

What Ingersoll Would DO.

In his new lecture. (which Way"
Col. Ingersoll says:
Iwould put theology out of educa-
ton from the common school 10 the
college. Iwould hire no teachers tomake
superstitious savages out of my chill
dren by telling them of the things they
guess at rather than the things they
know. | would not have professors
chosen by their faith rather than by
their works. We produce no great
men because the faculties of our col
leges are afraid to teach. They are
afraid because the President of the
college is usually some narrow little
parson much more concerned to pre-
serve the credulity of the pupils than
to increase their knowledge. Theology
is shaekle and gag upon American
learning.
