melting room the Government is re-
sponsible for it. Was notified by G..
d. Meder ON Junoo, 1893 that Piper
was stealing bullion. 1 started down
stairs and when ON the first floor was
informed that Piper had gone in the
basement, going to the head Of the
stairs | saw him at the bottom and
called to him to STOP; he refused to
do SO. / went down to the basement
at the foot of the elevator shaft where
| found several small pieces Of crude
bullion; | passed Piper, who was com
ing up, and said "Well. what have Won
been dolng?" He did not reply. l
notified T. r. Hnfer and Piper was
discharged that afternoon.
G.. D.. Meder: / was fireman in the
Carson Mint IN June, 1893. On June
9TH Mr.. Allen and myself went to a
cupboard where we kept waste etc,
and found amalgam in IL bucket
marked al. p" Allen stayed in the
room Willie / went to inform the
chief clerk; when We returned the
bucket WAS gone.
Archie Allen: ] was engineer in
the Carson Mint in 1893. | moved a
dinner bucket aside with my foot and
found it exceedingly heavy; upon re-
moving the lid some bullion was dis
covered; G.. d. Meder went to the
superintendent Office and | remain
ed on guard and saw Piper come to
the cupboard and take the buck. It
out. | followed him to the elevator
shaft where he dumped the contents
of it to the bottom. l stood at his
shoulder and told him to take back
the bucket and save himself.
Cross examination: | wrote to Pr
per before he was arrested, telling
him that the officers we're on to him
and that if he would give me $50 !
would get out Of the country and not
testify against him. On Market Street
in San Francisco l borrowed So from
Piper. I have not paid it back be-
cause l did not know his address.
At the conclusion of the evidence
for the prosecution, Judge Murphy
asked the Court to instruct the jury
to acquit on the grounds that the
stolen bullion had not been proved to
be the property of the U. S.; and that
no value had been proved; and that
the ~offensc, if any had been commit
ted, was embezzlement instead Of lar
ceny.
The Court permitted the prosecu-
ton to reopen the case and introduce
evidence to fix the value OF the bull
lion. G. D.. Meder was recalled and
fixed the value at 81. The Court
then overruled the motion Of Judge
Murphy and the case was submitted
to the jury without argument. Judge
Hawley read his instructions and the
case was given 70 the jury at $3.50.
At 4:3O the jury returned with a YER
dict OF guilty, recommending Piper
to the mercy Of the Court.
Piper was Immediately surrendered
into the custody of the Marshal and
will be sentenced Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock.

AN ADEQUATE IDEA.
EIGHTY-FuvE MILES OF ST. LOUIS
STREETS OBSTRUCTED.
An Area of six Square Miles in
which Destruction is Seen ON
Every Hand-The Reaction.

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-There have been
Just eighty-fve miles of streets OBJ
structed by debris as a result OF the
tornado. All of these streets have been
made passabte and will be cleaned up
in ten days. In the city there are 4So
miles of improved streets, so it can be
seen to what extent the tornado IN
terrupted traffic. The storm district,
on it's outside lines, extended from the
river on the east TO Tower Grove
avenue. and from Olive street on the
north to Lynch street on the south.
This comprises an area of six square
miles. The extreme limits were three
miles east and west and two miles
north and south.
An adequate idea of the damage can
be formed when it is stated that If all
the houses damaged and blown down
were on both sides of the one street,
that street would be just eighty-five
miles long. The figure is given by the
street commissioner, who has been
throughout the entire district, and from
reports of his general superintendent,
who has cut roadway through the
eighty-five miles of streets.
In addition to this, there were many
more streets obstru"ted by wires and
the like which are not counted in the
total

houses upon the general deficiency
bills, which was reached today, in
cludes the provision for the assaying

erected at these points for the purpose

amendment requires that in no case
shall a less quantity than one-fifth of
any Importation of ore be subjected to
the sampling process.
