 Marry Him.

ASPEN, Coio., Sept. 2S.-Urce equited love on the part of Sadie Sovereign, a rather comedy young woman, for one John Sanger, man old enough to be her father, has landed him in jail on charges of threats against her life. The woman is staying at the Lincoln hotel, and, according to her story, she has been imporIuned by Sanger to mar ry him so often and with such per- sistency that her life has become a burden. Until recently Sanger's love story has not been embellished with any visions of murder, but about ten days ago, the woman says, he began to intimate that unless she would wed him that he would kill her and then probably shoot himself. The climax was reached last night, when Sanger wrote her letter, in which he renewed his threats The murderous intention of the aged John, set out in cold words, frightened the woman, and she went to the district attorney, who caused the matter to be taken inl.o court. The case will be tried tomorrow.

At the invitation of Hill, it is said, an invita- tiom will be extended him to meet the leaders at the Fifth Avenue hotel and advise with them. The Democratic leaders have announced that fusion with the Popu1ists has practically been perfected in every state where it was attempted except Indiana, and the plans there have not been entirely abandoned. The last state to agree on terms was Kentucky, and the silver men say they are more than encour- aged to hope for success there.

 He was arrested on August 29 for snatching a pocketbook containing $2 from womans hand at Church and Vesey streets.

 Assistant District Attorney Battle who had also taken an interest in the young mans experience, asked Judge Fitzgerald to suspend sentence, stating that he had secured employment for him. The judge said he would put the case over until Thursday to investigate it.

JEROME MINES.
Mining News From a Rich and Pros
 porous Section.

The arrival of D. Sheedy and F. F. Struby, Denver capitalists, in Jerome last week awakened a great deal of in terest in mining circles, says The Min ing News. They came to look over the mining property of Hull & Whining ham, and were so we'll pleased wilsh it that they have taken a bond on it for s125 ,000; $50,000 to be paid on the 18th day of September, 1897, and $25,- 900 in three six months payments. Work is to be stalted within sixty days and continued without interruption. This group contains five claims, the Silent, Buncom, ''99," Sunny South and Number One, commencing about 1000 feet little east of south of the United Verde Copper company's smelter and running in a southeasterly direction, the length of three claims. Work will be pushed in the tunnel which pene- trates the claims from Walnut Cullen. The above is a gold and copper prop osition.
 The gentlemen who have bonded the above property are thus spoken of by The Journal, Miner: "D. Sheedy, the richest man in Colorado, is visiting Prescott on mining business. MT. Sheedy is president and general man ager of the Globe Smelling and Refin- ing company of Denver, vice-president of the Colorado National bank, be- sides being interested in banks in Salt Lake, Omaha and other places F. F. Struby, of the Struby- -Estabrook Com mercial company of Denver is making a, visit to this section.''
 1 There has not been deal made in this district since w. A. Clark pur- chased the now famous United Verde ! mines, which means so much to the future prosperity of Jerome Thsee claims lie almost within the boundaries of the city of Jerome and their de- velopment means an impetus to our now growing camp. Jerome has more than doubled in size during the past year, and if she continues to move along during the coming year as she has in the past one, we will have a larger population than any city in Yavapai county. MessTs. Hull & Win ingham are to be congratulated on their having been able to have placed their property in such excellent hands

The Greater Part of It Shipped Against
 Commercial Bills.

Of the balance of the s40,O00,0O0 or there abouts engaged in all to date, $25 5,O0O,- 900 was drawn against commercial bills.

The steam ship Servia, leaving Liverpool tomor- row, has on board $1,000,000 in gold consigned to Kidder, Peabody & Co.,, Of Boston.

 cal Contest.

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 23--A com plaint was filed in the municipal court this afternoon by R. E. McCord in which Fred Cook and Jossph Hoey are made eo-defendants h tl,c complain
 McCord alleges that he made a bet with Cook before the Republican coun- ty convention to the effect that Cook would not get as many delegates from the Eighth ward as John Rees would. The bet, he said, was accepted and the money put up in the hands of Hoey.
 After the convention it was found that McCord had won and as soon as he conveniently could he called on Hoey for the money. The latter told him it had been given to Cook to keep, and that the latter had promised to deliver it to McCord when called for. The plaintiff alleges that neither Cook nor Hoey will give him back his own money, much less that put up by Cook.

Washington, July 30.-Judge r.
NJ. Otter If Hillsboro, Ohio, who is
n gold Democrat, aud quite active in

porter on the situation in Ohio.
81 neve saw sush situation in
politics before" he soid. MANY
waves OF sentiment have swept over
Ohio; but l have never seen any
thing like the present. In the coun.
try districts the silver sentiment 10
is intense. Every man you SEQ is
loaded with arguments, and there is
no use trying to tall; with him.
The silver men have been read.
ing everything they could get hold
OF on their side OF the question, un.
til they can outtalk Harvey. They
are as glib as possible with argu.
ments which l regard as false. but
which they are satisfied with. and
they will dance all over any man who
says gold. II is become "a sort of
religion with them and they will not
listen to or tolerate opposition. Yon
can't make any impression on them
any more than You can argue q man
out OF his religious faith. The thing
has spread so that I regard the re-
suit IN tho State as doubtful, and
perhaps with the probability favor
able to Bryan.
AT all events, it is by no measu
certain that Mckinley can carry the
State. The normal Republican ma
jointly is about $4,000. That is the
safe natural Republican majority.
There are about 52,CO0 Populist
votes and 10000 prohibition votes.
Bryan will probably get $4,000 Popu
list votes and $1,000 Prohibition
That is, he viii get the silver votes
OF these two parties.
I'm the cities there will be q con.
sidersble gold Democratic vote for
Mckinley; in the country districts
there will be large silver republican
vote for Bryan. These may pretty
nearly offset each other, though Il
looks as If Bryan would get more
