MINERS RELEASED FROM JAIL.
The trial of the 81 strikers end
ed last Saturday, the Court de-
Gliding that they had violated the
injunction. but as their general
behavior had been most COM
mendable the sentence was made
extremely light, viz: that the
prisoners be confined in jail 8
days longer. The opinion of the
Judge is given in full on page 8
of this issue and is>such a COM

testimony offered that further
explanations are unnecessary. The
miners generally are very well
plesed with the decision.
The case was eloquently argued
by Judge Fleming and Hon. w.

and by Messrs W. Scott and Jno.

latter as chief counsel for the
strikers handled his side of the
question with commendable tact

A halt was ordered in front ofithe

addresses were made by Messrs

speakers made strong appeals for

The Mummy of a Pharaoh.

The greatest discovery of mummies
ever made in Egypt was in the year
1851, when the remains of 80 royal
personages were brought to light at
Dier-e Bahari, Thebes. One of these
was proved to be the mummy of King
Rameses II, the third king of the
ninth dynasty and the pharaoh of the
Jewish captivity. This mummy was
in perfect state of preservation. The
mummy case itself was of sycamore
wood, plain and unvarnished, and
without spot or stripe of paint,
something reckoned as unusual. The
case was, however, carved to repre-
sent Rameses in the position of
Osiris. The crossed arms rested up
on the breast. In the right hand was
the royal whip and in the left the
royal book. The features were most
delicately carved in the soft wood,
and the whole was surmounted with
the crown of upper and lower Egypt
anil surrounded by a carved represen-
tation of the uraus serpent. The
name of Rameses was written in plain
black characters upon the case, which
bore no other text or representation
whatever, strongly contrasting with
the exaggerated dedicatlons noted on
almost all the other cases found in
the same pit.
The mummy itself was carefully
wrapped in rose colored and yellow
linen of texture finer than the very
finest india muslin. In the different

A OoUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police Of Syracuse Make an Important
4 Capture.

On Monday the 18th Harold Mar
quisee, of Utica, N. Y, was arrested
in Syracuse, N. Y, on warrant sworn
out by the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., charging him with forgery. On
the 18th of December Marquisee
visited a photo-engraver in Syracuse,
saying he was the representative OF
the DR.. Williams Medicine Co., and
arranged for the making of full set
of plates for the direction sheets,
labels, etc, of the famous DR.. Will
iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the home Office, and
no time was lost in arranging for his
arrest when he should return for the
plates. He returned on the 18th and
was accordingly arrested and is now
in Jail in Syracuse awaiting examina-
ton, which occurs on March ed.
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plunder,
such as medical books, typewriters,
rugs, etc, found in Marquisee's trunk
when arrested, the police also found
counterfeit coin both in the trunk and
on his person; and in search of his
apartments at Utica found a complete
outfit Tor counterfeiting consisting of
Crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead, bis
muth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge, charcoal furnace, and several
plaster -of-paris molds. The United
States marshals want him just as soon
as the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.
are through with him, and, no doubt,
he will be sentenced for long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for his counterfeiting operations,
he showed his knowledge of the pro-
prietory medicine business for these
pills are in such great demand that
they are easily sold at any drug store
in the United States. His scheme was
to work the country druggists and sell
his limitations at discount of from
per cent. to S per cent, explaining
the reduced price by the fact that he
had picked them up in small lots and
at a discount from dealers who were
overstocked By working fast and
making long jumps, he would have
secured many hundreds OF dollars in
short time. The proprietors of DR..
Williams Pink Pills are most fortunate
to have caught the rogue, before he
had fairly started, and to have thus
kept these spurious goods out of the
| market
