His Wife Arranged the CelebratiOns
Though She Had No share in IL.
"Of course every man who has any
appreciation of woman thinks he has
the best wife in the world" said an
elderly member of the Curbstone club
the other night, "but I'll take my oath
my wife goes ahead of all the women
you ever heard of. You all know that
I've been married four times. Well,
that's the point of this story. In few
months shall have been married man
80 years-counting all the years of all
my marriages, you know-and Julia,
my present wife, is determined that
shall celebrate my golden wedding.
She reckoned it all up the other night.
Let me see, there were IL years lived
with Eliza, ten years with Margaret,
Is years with Kate and 13 years with
Ju1ia-a round so years of respectable
matrimonial life.
Julia says that it isn't my fault the
other wives died and that / couldnt
live so years with one woman to earn
my golden wedding; and SO she intends
to see that / am not cheated out of it.
She has an idea, too, that in letting me
have a golden wedding celebration. in
which she, of course, cannot have any
share, she will be sort OF rounding up
matters and be doing the square thing
by my three other wives. I told her
that public opinion would be against
her-that everybody would talk like
the mischief if she got up golden we'd
ding for me when she can't be in it. but
she says she doesn't care a cent--that
when people talk about us somebody
else is getting a rest. So she is going
right ahead, baking cakes and getting
ready for the celebration of my fiftieth
anniversary. She says she knows Eliza
and Margaret and Kate would think il
was all right. Now, isn't that scheme,
and isn't she the finest woman you ever
heard of?''-Dctroit Free Press.

Charged with an Important Nessage-u
Spain Does Not Speedily Put Down the
Rebellion In Cuba the United States
VIII KnterveRe-Gen. Grants Idea.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-Oficjals Of
the state department were very reti-
cent yesterday when asked concerning
a report in circulation that definite in
structions had been given all our for
eign ambassadors and ministers to
European countries to sound and as
certain the attitude of European gov
ernments in case the United States
should interfere in Cuba. While gen.
eral denials were made by some of
them, others intimated that the United
States was ready to assume the posi-
ton taken by Gen. Grant in 1874, as
shown by the instructions of Secretary
Fish to Minister Cushing.
Although it never appeared that these
instructions were carried out, and there
is no knowledge what Spain would hav e
done in the premises, it is possible that
Minister Woodford will have different
report to make.
1t can be stated. on information re-
ceived, here that there is no truth in the
report that Lord Salisbury has sent an
unfavorable answer to a suggestion
that the United States would interfere,
the fact being that he has not replied at
all to the attempt of our ambassador to
sound him on the subject, and that his
attitude gives reason to believe he will
not oppose such action as our interests
may make necessary.
Minister Woodford's instructions are
to intimate to Spain that the United
States will intervene unless the situa
sion in Cuba speadily improves. This,
in effect, was the instructions which
were given Mr.. Cushing by Mr.. Fish,
and, it is understood, that the attitude
Of the United States is almost identical
with the position taken during Gen,
Grants administration. Then, as
now, the good offices of the United
States had been rendered to Spain to
bring about settlement of the war.
But" said Secretary Fish, 1.-The we'll
intended proffers of the United States
were unwisely rejected by Spain"
The secretary reviewed the situation,
which presents many similar phases to
that which exists now. President
Grant, said the secretary, regarded in
dependence as the only certain and
necessary solution of the Cuban ques-
ton. The attitude of the present adj
ministration is said to be on the same
lines, and it is said Minister Woodford
will make it clear to the Spanish au-
thorities that our interests will make
intervention by the United States i'm
perative unless something is done
speedily by Spain to improve the situa-
ton, disastrous as it is toour country.

the Rlondike.

the hlondike.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-PostmasteE
General Gary has received a copy
of the Alaska Mining Record OF
Juneau of August 4. in which is
an interesting sketch of the gold
mining regions. The valley of the
Yukon and its tributaries constitute, it
says, one vast gold field, where scarce
ly a shovelful of earth can be found
that will not show color of the precious
metal. But it also calls attention to
the difficulties which lie in the path OF
the gold seekers.
''1n the first place, whoever comes tc
Alaska must be prepared to support
himself for at least two years. In
the field of industrial labor every
position is filed. The professions are
fully represented; the labor market is
glutted. Mining and prospecting alone
remain open to the newcomer. He
can not depend on his own labor for
support in any direction. Little can
be accomplished in less than three
years stay. A good part of the first
season will be consumed in reaching
the mines; then even if claim be at
once located only preliminary work
can be done; the second year the claim
gan be well opened up and probably
some money made; the third year gen.
orally renders the promised returns,

he was to be executed to-day, but he
appeared to be surprised at and Bit

of the priests, declaring they would
obtain nothing from him. He de-
clined to enter the chapel, saying he
was comfortable enough in his cell.

THE GREAT UTICA MINE

Che Celebrated Gold Producer On Fire
Narrow Escape OF Several aziners-The
Loss win Amount co Hundreds of ThoU--
sands of Dollars While One THOUSAND
Employees WIN be Rendered Idle.
ANGELS CAMP, Cal. Aug. 1S.-The
great Utica mine is on fire. Flames
and smoke were discovered issuing
from the S00-foot level. station No. 4,
at four o'clock yesterday morning. It
was with difficulty that the shift made
their escape. Six men were cut off,
but made their way through the south
end of the new shaft. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from spon-
saneous combustion.
It is impossible at present to es tt
mate the extent of the loss that the
ire will cause, but it is safe to say
that it will amount to hundreds of
thousands of dollars. Not only are the
mine owners affected, but the whole
town of Angels, which contains a pop
1lation of upwards of 1000, who are
almost entirely dependent upon the
miners employed in the Utica group
Of mines. There are 1000 men en-
oloyed by the company, and should the
ire prove as serious as reported, these
men will be left in destitute circum-
stances.
Every effort is being made to quench
the fire as rapidly as possible, but gas
and smoke are escaping from all the
shafts, which are being rapidly bulk
headed. While stopping up the Utica
shaft, several firemen were suffocated.
The mine is being rapidly flooded. All
the main pipes have been cut, and
about 5000 miners inches OF water are
pouring down the shaft. An eight
inch hose is playing water into
the Sickle shaft, where the fire
was first discovered. It will take
1t least four days to food
the mine, and it is estimated that in
case no more serious results should
happen afterward it will take at least
two months to pump out the water and
it the mines for regular operation.
On July 81, 1885. similar fire oc-
cured, and it was seven weeks before
work could be resumed. The shafts
are deeper now and it will undoubt-
edly take a much longer time
The Utica mine, which is the larg-
est quartz gold mine that is worked
by chlorination process, containing 300
stamps and Il roasting ovens, besides
an immense amount of necessary ma
2hinery. is owned by the Hobart es-
tate. A considerable amount of the
property formerly belonged to the
late Senator James G. Fair. It is esti-
mated that the net profits of the mine
exceed 81, 800 600 per annum.

BOLD BANK ROBBERS

They are Pursued by Posse aud En-
Gagged In n Running FIght-One
of the EObbers Wounded.

NEosHo. Mo-, Aug. 17.-This morn
Ing at 1880 three bold highwaymen
entered the Mcdonald county bank at
Pineyille. the county seat of Mcdonald
county, 25 miles south of here, and
held up the only customer, III. NJ.
Lamance, county treasurer, while two
of the robbers went behind the coun-
ter, knocked down Cashier j. w.
Shields, took what money was in
sight, consisting of about 5000, and
left iowa.
When they first entered the bank
the bandits pretended that they
wanted to draw check. One began
TO write, when. without notice, the
other two covered the cashier with
their Winchesters- The robbery OF
the county treasurer and the looting OF
the bank followed quickly. They
threw the money in bag and started
at once for the woods near by.
They were pursued by a posse of cit
liens, and running fight was had
near Noel, where the robbers were sep
arated and one was wounded.
1t is thought every avenue of escape
is strongly guarded and that they will
certainly be captured. They were
making their way to the Indian terri
tory, and undoubtedly lost their
bearings It was the same gang
that has been seen around Neosho
for several days, and it was believed
they had laid plans to rob the Arkan-
saw Traveller. on the K. c., P. & g. E.
r., Sunday night, but were thwarted
in their plans by officers.
Should they be captured it is
thought they will be lynched, as this
is the second bank robbery in the
county in three years. Such officers
as Deputy United States Marshals
Pearman and Copeland are in pursuit,
and their capture is hourly anticipated.
Tonight a report reached here that
the robbers had crossed into the In
dian territory, a few miles north o.
Sloan Springs, Ark. They are sup
posed to belong to the notorious Col
lier band of outlaws One was dark,
short and thick set, apparently an In
dian.
