GRAFTON.

A strike was made a few days ago,
almost within the town of Grafton,
that Is Of great Importance and one
that is bound to have the effect OF
overthrowing some of the old time
theories of the p%rospectors of this Sec
ton, as we'll as other parts of the
country. 1t has been a fixed doctrine
with those looking for gold in the coun
try to think that that metal could not
be found IN any other formation than
crystallized quartz, therefore they
sought for 1t in that particular matrlx
and no other, and in many instances
with good results. as the different
workings on the quartz veins OF this
great gold bearing district show, the
proof of its value being gwen in the
many good returns of high grade val
ues IN gold from the different ores that
have been shipped in times past to re-
duction points. To Mrs. Mary Yaple,
of Grafton, is due the credit of finding
this new formation that is destined to
mark a new era in the future mining
development of the camp. The find
was made last Sunday afternoon. The
lady herself the irst to break off the
groupings and also being the first to
crush the rock IN a mortar and pan 1t
The result Of the panning was a string
of gold in the pan that would not only
dazzle the eyes of a tender-foot, but
would excite old timers. The result OF
the panning being satisfactory some o.

BUZZARD'S BAY. July 13.-Mrs. Cleveland came forth resplendent at the Rolfe-J Jefferson 7Heddfng at But termilk Bay. It was her first appear ance in shore society" this summer.
 She arrived ten minutes or more af- ter the hour set down for the cere- mony. Mrs. Cleveland's fondness for strong coloring and her ability to wear it with good effect was noticeable. Her gown was of silk, with the new foulard finish, with large, irregular heliotrope figures on white ground. The skirt was full. plain and flaring. It was stiffened we'll. The bodice was of a soft cream lace, with black velvet ribbon bretelles tapering from shoul- der to waist, front and back.
 The sleeves were of the same ma terial as the skirt in a modified gorgot form, noticeably less voluminous than those of a year ago, and wholly grace ful. White gloves completed this toilet. Her parasol was of heliotrope color, with pillows of white lace. The Frenchiness of her costume was heightened by the hat, large, black straw, with masses of black lace and black aigrette at the left, cache peign of natural looking white roses with bits of green foliage.

JINGosTs oEAagE TROUBLE.
Of Course The Greek Flag Should
 Float.

AURORA, H., July 13-Hhe trouble which occurred here Saturday when two misguided patriots pulled down a Greek flag surrounded by American emblems is growing rather serious. A representative of the Greek consul general in Chicago is in town with in- structions to investigate the unpleas- antness thoroughly and report the de- tails of the affair to the consul.
 The representative said that the Greek ought not to have been molest- ed, as he had his banner completely surrounded by American flags. This IS eminently proper under information al law, and is custom observed with nations at peace with each other. Fur thermore the Greek was arrested by the orders of the mayor and taken away without being given chance to protect his stock.
 The consul says that an apology must be made and the flags returned besides compensation for the loss ot the mans stock.
 Mayor Scott has gone to Chicago to arrange matters.

Yuma Sentinel: The office of the customs collector at this place has been abolished and the custom house closed. The customs inspector re ceived notice from headquarters some time since to hold himself in readi- ness to be removed.
 If the United States officials WD have been instrumental in abolishing this office were acquainted with this section they never would have issued orders to do away with the customs officials stationed here.
 At no other point on the frontier between here and Nogales, is a GUS toms house in so much demand as right here in Yuma and there is nc other place along the whole boundary line between Mexico and the United States that affords such opportunities for carrying on extensive smuggling business as Yuma does today.

DIED OF BAlSIEEFULINESS.
Killed Himself ito Avoid Annoying
 His Bride

TOPEKA, July 13.-While watching his wife cook breakfast yesterday morning, Robinson c. Hutchinson dashed ten grains of strychnine into his mouth, walked into his bedroom, lay down on the bed, plunged his face in towel saturated with chloroform, and in few minutes was dead. He had been married but three weeks to a handsome young woman, and was possessed of fine farm of 240 acres near Holton, besides plenty of ready cash. He left a letter to his wife, in which he said that he realized that his extreme bashfulness would be a source of never ending annoyance to her through life, and that he would relieve her of it "by dying. He, regretted, he said. that he had put her and her peo- pie to so much trouble getting ready for the wedding, and hoped they would forgive him. The bride was a Miss Thowe, whose relatives lived on a farm near Alma. MT Hutchinson had never shown the slightest signs of in sanity, and to all appearances was happy.
