ANOTHER BONANZA.
A Rich Strike Made in the Harqua
 Halas.

Yuma Sentinel: News reaches here of another big strike made in the Be- nanza mine at Harqua Hala in this county. .
 For the past year the mill has been running only on tailings, treated by the cyanide process, and for the past six months the mine has been leased to number of old miners, headed by J. H. Murphy. The old workings had indeed been stripped of ore, but on the new incline streak of iron oxide ore had been passed with little notice. This streak was remembered by the leasers and upon it they sunk at venture. At a depth from the surface of 200 feet and but short distance from the incline the streak eX- banded into the ore body, strong and continuous, averaging four feet in width and running in gold, free mill ing, $50 to the ton. The mill is al- ready at work on the ore and the leasers are hiring all the miners who apply. At the rate of nearly s100 a cubic yard the problem of profit can readily be solved by any one.
 Adjoining claims are also develop ing well and the prospect is that soon the camp of Harqua Hala will more than regain all its old4time prosperity and population

silver mine owner, as the free silverites claim would be the effect of free coin age, is it not equally the duty of the government to raise the price of the product of coal owners, of iron mine owners, of stone quarries, etc.?
 If the government could and would raise the price of the product of the coal mine, or the iron mine, or the stone quarry, it would benefit no one except those who own the coal mine, the iron mine or the stone quarry. If the government will take off it's strings from silver, and leave it as it was prior to 1873, the price of silver will rise it. self, and with that rise will come rise also in the product of the coal mine, the iron mine and the stone quarry.
 The use of silver is for measure of values. That is, it has been its chief use since before the beginning of civil ization. It has sovereign power that way. So much so that even the legis- lation of civilization against it cannot break down that power one atom. It buys as much in the rough bullion as ever it did when stamped by any gov ernment in the world That is, as much of everything else except gold. Now, if the government were to de- cree that no iron should be used for bolts or bars or plates; that no iron should be converted into steel for the manifold purposes for which steel is used, and if the government were strong enough to enforce the ediet, naturally the price of iron would fall, would it not, and would it be unreas- enable for the owners of iron mines or for those who wish to use iron, to in- sist that that kind of legislation should be reversed?
 And would there be any sense in a newspaper, in such situation as that crying out that if it was the duty of the government to raise the price of iron, then why not of onions, why not of cheese? The goldbugs have been
 driven into a corner, and the way \ they coil and rattle and show their fangs is somewhat amusing.

MT. D. F. Riggs, who has been here for several weeks past, was the con- signee, one day this week of a special car from his old home in Missouri. It contained precious freight. There was his wife and seven of their chil- dren, a brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and two more children. AS the party alighted at the little station in Capi- tol addition the denizens out there thought an excursion had come to town. MT Riggs has purchased six lots just west of the depot and is put ting up an elegant nine room brick house, furnished with electric lights, screen porches, and all the modern inn provements. When completed it will have cost about $3,O0O. In the fall he intends erecting large, roomy house on the corner lot next the depot. This will be furnished in hotel style and will be made attractive for winter guests.

MILLIONS FOR FANCY.

The accident which brought about fhe death of Austin Corbin, the multi millionaire railroad magnate, furnishes a lesson in human affairs of the day that might we'll be of impressive i'm port to others of his class, but it is doubtful if it will be so. At an ad- yanced age MT Corbin undertook to use his surplus wealth for the indul- gence of a mere fancy, which at best could be of little more than momen- sary qualification of his personal lik- ing, rather than give thought to the betterment of the condition of the struggling world about him.
 The possession of twenty-two square miles of New England hills and val ,@leys, of lakes and streams, isolated from the uses of all mankind save his own, was calculated to afford pleasure for a few hours taken from the busy Whirl of absorbing business affairs and that was all. Entailed upon his iegatees it was like to prove burden and care out of all proportion to the benefits that could possibly be ex- tracted from it's possession, to be final Ivy 1aEf 4r avI ralo int will derness productive of no pleasure or profit to any person whatever. By the expenditure of the same amount of money and care upon something that would give pleasure to the many thou sands who had contributed to his suc- cess in life, he would have left a name to be endearingly treasured for gen. erations, whereas he is no sooner gone than forgotten as a factor in the seri- GUS concerns of life
 It is such an example of purely sell fish devotion that causes the world to look with disfavor upon the accumu- !ation of vast wealth, whether it may come from money making genius or the favor of mere chance. Within the means which were lavished upon the pleasure ground in the New Hamp. shire hills there could have been pro- Vided, less than an hours ride iron the crowded environs of New York, tc be reached by his own lines of trans portation, a public park laved by tht waters of the broad Atlantic, which would have been a blessing to mil lions of people for generations to come To the right minded what a store O. happiness and satisfaction could have been made of such possibility Ant what a different ending of long ant busy life would have come from such { direction of a thoughtful mind
 The sentimental consideration whicI prompts one to speak with charitable information of one whose active lift has been brought to an untimely ent need not stand in the way of a profit able reflection upon wasted opportuni ties where such a lesson can be drawn

yesterday was begun the consideration of
the proposition to increase the number of
bishops. The colored Methodists want a
bishop of their own and so does Japan and

the labors of the four older bishops who
were appointed in 1872. The four women

HAS RETURNED
1t Considerably MOdifieS the Appearance
of His Case.
WAS A SMOULDERING SENSATION
The Young Man stopped Business at His
Bakery and Suddenly Left Town.
This, Followed by Warrant,
Caused Considerable Talk.

The bakery and confectionery which was
conducted by John f. Ploppert, on East Centre
street. has been closed for three days and this,
in the absence of an announcement, caused
considerable talk, which grew into a smoth-
cred sensation yesterday when it became
known that Ploppert had disappeared and
that Il warrant had been issued for his arrest.
The developments to-day, however, showed
that while on the surface the circumstances
were of a very sensational character the real
facts were comparatively unimportant and,
although a warrant has been served in the
matter and Mr.. PlOppert is under bail, the
whole affair springs more from family dis
agreement than anything else.
The facts appear to be that some time ago
Ploppert was sold out at Shert7s sale on
judgment note given to protect his father,
who claims to have furnished the capital for
the business The bakery and confectionery
was re-opened and conducted until last
Thursday, when George +. Ploppert the
father the son alleges stopped the business.
The cause for this act, it is claimed, was a
family disagreement. The blinds of the store
were pulled down and yesterday morning
John, the son, left town. Immediately after
the father caused a warrant to be issued charg-
ing larceny as bailee The specific charge was
that John had had horse in his possession
rs balee for the father The animal was
injured on account of a defective highway in
West Mahanoy township and a few days ago
John collected 500 damages and kept the
money. Last night John returned of his
own volitiOn and was arrested by Constable
Phillips this morning. John said that as his
father stopped the business he went to
AIahanoy City and Hazleton to look for work,
and that was all there was to his sudden
departure. He furnished $500 bail for trial
on tbs charge brought by his father. 1t is
generally believed that all parties will cool
down in a few days and an amicable settle
ment will be made. The bakery is still idle

THE BURIAL OF HOLMES F!
The Murderer'S Body Encased in a Solid
wall If Cement.
AVERTED A SCENE AT THE END
The Condemned Man Insisted That His
Lawyer, Mr. Rotan, Should Walk with
Him to the scaffold and the Prison
officers Were Forced to Yield.

PHILADELPHIA, May 9-In the presence
of his attorney, Lawyer Samuel p. Rotan,
Undertaken John J. O'Rourke, Father
McPake and the employees of the Holy
Cross cemetery, at Yeadon, the body of
Holmes was, at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, lowered into a grave dug ten feet
deep He was accorded Christian burial,
and the grave-or rather the two graves
selected for his cement filled box is located
in the western part Of the cemetery, where
single graves are sold in consecrated
ground.
Holmes own wishes regarding his bu-
rial have been carried out, and his body is
probably now as safe from the ghouls as
it would be if locked within the vaults of
a safe deposit company. The box which
contains the body imbedded in cement
that has already hardened weighs over a
ton and was too wide to be lowered into
an ordinary grave. After the body was
lowered into the grave, the grave diggers
aided by mason, and under the super
vision of Lawyer Rotan, piled upon the
box layer of cement two feet thick The
material was packed in about the sides
and ends Of the novel sarcophagus and
when the job was finished the remains of
IlplilltS NtTt pTOuOulCtu balt lOE All llIllb.
His tomb will be a solid wall of rock.
1t has been developed that a scene was
narrowly averted at Holmes execution.
just as Holmes was preparing to leave his
cell TO join the march to the gallows he
turned to Mr.. Perkins, superintendent of
the prison, and asked that Mr.. Rotan be
permitted to accompany him to the scat
fold and stand beside him on the gallows
NIse TO-, 4
he could not allow Mr.. Rotan on the scat
fold with him.
''Then," said Holmes, with emphasis,
II will not leave this cell. l refuse to go
to the scaffold."
superintendent Perkins argued with the
murderer, telling him that such proceed
ing was irregular, and that his request
could not possibly be granted.
Holmes insisted that his demand be
complied with. He would not listen to
the objections advanced by Mr.. Perkins,
and finally stepped across the floor of his
cell and stood with his back against the
wall. The superintendent begged him to
leave his cell quietly, but Holmes was OBJ
stinate. He told Mr.. Perkins that unless
Mr.. Rotan was allowed to stand by his
side he positively would not move one step
"Unless you do as 1 ask" he said, Il
will not leave this cell. You will have to
use force to get me to the gallows. You
had better do it, or there will be a scene on
the scaffold."
Knowing the nature of the man he had
to deal with, superintendent Perkins
thought it preferable to give in to him
rather than to precipitate a most harrow
ing and disgraceful scene. So he finally
consented, and Holmes walked from his
cell down the corridor to the scaffold as
docile as a child with Mr. Rotan near him.
