DEADLY SHOTS FINED By SUN.

In one Instance an Innocent Man was
Sentenced to lie Hanged.
In recent paper appeared an ac-
count of a strange accident in which
a man was killed by the discharge OF a
gun while lying asleep on lounge
in his room, the weapon being dis
charged by reflected rays OF the s""
falling upon the cartridge chamber
of the firearm, says the Cincinnati En-
uuirer. Since the publication OF inc
story correspondent from York, fa''
writes concerning the accident ana re-
fers to similar case, in which, through
the efforts OF clever Cincinnati law
yer named G. Z. Wallis, the person ac-
cused of murder and sentenced 10 De
hanged was set at liberty, the circum-
stantial evidence on which he was con-
victed being entirely exploded pS u
witnessed demonstration as to how the
accident really occurred. The YORK
correspondent referred to volume ID
of the Criminal Law Magazine page
6O7, on which a full account of the case
appears. The case was that OF the
state of Tennessee against Avery. trleo
in Henry county, that state, anu Is one
of the most remarkable in the histor!
OF criminal jurisprudence. III June
1887, Charles Ensley, the cousin ol
man of the name of Avery. was kiileo
in his room while lying on lounge
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Inc
weapon which caused the death was
small rife, sending a 32-callber Dali
through Ensley's brain. NO one was
in the house at the time but Ensiey.
An empty rifle was found lying on q
rack on wall of the room in whlch
the killing occurred and the Dulle'
fitted the tube. Avery was arrested lo'
the crime. as he was the only living
relative to Ensley. and by his death
profted to the amount OF about sl"V'-
900. Avery was tried. pleaded moi
guilty, but was convicted OF mnroer III
the first degree and sentenced to DE
hanged. He appealed to the supreme
court and engaged Mr.. Wallis TO ue-
fend him. The Supreme court remand
ed the case back to the Circuit court on
technical errors. Two mistrials were
brought about and then came the
strangest part OF the story. The Drill
liant Wallis struck the keynote to the
mystery In August, 1891. he mad the
rifle loaded and hung on the wall. a
white sheet with the form OF man
marked on i; was placed in exactly the
position occupied by Ensley when
lying asleep. and heavy cut-giass
pitcher of water like the one found
in the room was placed on the shelf
above. The temperature was 10 de-
grces in the shade. one Of the hottest
days of the year. The pitcher acted as
s,!ngIass and the hot rays of the
sun shining through the water were re-
fractcd directly on the cartridge cham
Der Of the rifle. Eight witnesses were
in the room and few minutes after .
o'clock puff and report occurred ana
the ball struck the outlined form back
of he ear in the exact location where
Ensley was shot and the theory OF cir
cumstantial evidence went to pieces.
The incident, being witnessed and
sworn to, readily explained itself to the
Jury.

A Papuan Feast.

According to recent visitor to the
Island of Papua, the basis OF exchange
there is arrack or Java rum. one-half
gallon OF which is reckoned equal to
one days work at fishing or rattan

the family devices all its attention
with enthusiastic energy to its con-
sumption. Their efforts never flag

1t is not fair for cats and dogs to
carry Off all the glory. Allow me to
tell two stories from my own personal
experience of gratitude in a goose, of
humor in a raven. l was walking one
day with friend through his poultry
yard, when a goose hurried UP to him,
fondly rubbed its neck against his
trousers, and followed him every
where. he told me that he had once
rescued it from being done to death
by it's feathered companions, because it
had broken wing. Could any un-
feathered bipeds have shown greater
affection? May we not say with Wads-
worth:
alas! the gratitude of men
Hath often left me mourning."
And now for the raven. l had been
taking duty lately in the Tower for
! my friend the chaplain, when my
SAUNDERS were disturbed by the rau.
cous croaking of venerable raven OF
unknown antiquity, but, by all &C.
counts, the oldest inhabitant there. BY
his jaunty hopping about under can.
mons and shady trees, he clearly shows
that he considers the entire precincts
to have been provided for his comfor,
by a grateful nation. On returning one
day from lunching with the governor
to whom l complained of his sleep
destroying noises, l found my gentle
man perched on the back Of a garden
chair. l solemnly admonished him O.
/ his offenses against the church. H,
listened calmly, without sound o.
movement. When I concluded m,
homily. he turned up his right eye t,
me and deliberately winked. l fed

Louisville, KY, April IA special to
the Evening Post from Frankfort says:
The latest rumor that has gained ourren-
cy is to the effect that within the next 48
hours, a sensational resolution is to be
introduced in the house by Hunter, GEN.
suring and denonuncing Governor Brad
ley in the most severe terms, for taking
part in the alleged bribery charges which
have been brought against DR.. Hunter.
The followers of the latter openly charge
that Governor Bradley, as we'll as the
silver Democrats, had hand in instiga-
ton the bribery charges. Governor
Bradley's friends vehemently deny that
he had any connection with.it, and say, if
such a resolution is Introduced, Governor
Bradley will at once 60 upon the floor Of
the house, and make speech that will be
full of sensations frem end to end.
It is said that an effort will be made to
dissuade Governor Bradley from this
step as IL is feared serious trouble might
result. Congressman Wilson and E. T..
Franks, Hunter Republicans, who are i'm
plicsted with the leader in an alleged at
tempt at bribety, were summoned before
the grand Jury this morning, on the req
ommendation of Attorney General Taylor.
Representative W. A. Baird, sound money
Democrat from Davis county was also
served with subpoena. The situation
here is grave. Feeling runs high, and
personal alterations are looked for.
When vote was taken today the oppo-
nents of Hunter broke the quorum by re-
fusing to vote.

HE ASSUMED AUTHORITY.
webb McNall, state Insurance Com
missioner OF Kansas, Liable to In
dictment for Attempting to Solve
legal Question.

Topeka, Kas., April 12.-Webb McNall,
state insurance commissioner, has
secured legal victory in battle with
three big eastern life insurance com panies,
to which he refused license on the
alleged ground that they had not paid
the famous Hillman claims. Judge Foster
of the U. 8. court holds that McNall's
action is not punishable by penalty for
contempt, and dismissed the case brought
by the insurance com paniss In court.
However he instructed the grand Jury to
inquire into McNsll's action, and il they
thought intimidation or any thing to
obstruct Justice to the companies had
been used, to bring an indictment against
McNall. The court also held that the
commissioners action was not justified
BY Law or Justice, and that McNall had
assumed authority in attempting to
determine the question involved in the
Hilman case.

IMPORTANT MINING DEAL
HillsbOro Gold Placers SOld-S35, 900
Paid for the Locations, $25. 900
for Water Rights.
The Rich and Extensive Gold Placers
of Sierra County to Be Worked to
Their Fullest Capacity.

Information reaches tho New MEXICAN
from Hillsboro that an extensive placer
mining deal has been consummated in that
section. This is great and good news, as
not only will Hillsboro and Sierra county
be greatly benefited by this enterprise.
but the whole territory will be the
gamer.
Within few miles of Hillsboro there
exist, as is we'll known, many thousands
of acres of gold placers, gold bearing
gravel and gold bearing cement. For
some time, indeed for several years,
company of which WIS. Hopewell, W. Fl.
Bucher, W. b. Childers, j. L. McLaugh-
lin, John A. Lee and others are mbers,
has had several thousands of acres of
these placers located. For year past
some Pittsburg capitalists have carefully
Investigated the problem of working
these placers, tested the gravel and
cement in every known scientific way and
in every practical manner, spending over
$50,000 in this work. These capitalists
have now closed deal for the placer
claims, it is understood, paying $4,000
tor them.
The water to work the placers and
for use on them, has been sold
to the new concern by Hon. W. s.
Hopewell who controls and owns ex-
tensive water rights on the headwatsrs
of the Animas and Percha rivera in
Sierra county. The water supply is
deemed ample for all purposes and will
be brought to the placers by sys-
tenn of open bitches and pipes,
about lb miles of the latter and about
ten miles of the former. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Hopewell received the sum of
$4,000 for these water rights, which are
on patented government lands and to
which the title is perfect.
The deal is virtually closed and means
the expenditure of much money and the
employment of many men in the enter
prise from now on, as the Pittsburg peo-
pie have all the financial backing to make
the enterprise great success.
Experts who have been on the ground
for months and have diligently and pa
tiently examined the gravel and cement
supply, have reported, that, considering
the supply of water to be had now and
the possible supply that can be obtained
by the erection of reservoirs, it will take
mary years before the supply of rich
gravel can be worked out. The gravel is
said to run from 35 cents to 81 yard.
It is believed, and it will prove so,
that the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad will extend its line from Lake
Valley to Hillsboro, as soon as active
work on it's purchase by the Pittsbur g
company commences, and this will be
within the next few months.

AN INVASION ORDERED.
for An Attack on Larrissn. the
Greek Headquarters.

Constantnople, April l2.-The Turkish
porte informed the representatives of the
foreign embassies on Saturday, that incon-
sequence of the Greek invasion Of Mace
donia, Edhem Pasha, the Turkish COM
mander-in- chief, was marching on the
Greek headquarters at Larrissa. Ac-
cording to authentic information OBJ
tained today, however, the Turkish army
has not yet started, and it is supposed at
the last moment that Edhem Pasha's or
ders to advance were countermanded.
Nevertheless the Turkish government
still seems to have the intention of at.
tempting to seize and hold Larrissa, un-
til the Greeks shall have evacuated the
island of Crete. 1t is pointed out that
Krania, town in Macedonia, which is
believed to be in the hands of Greek in
surgents, and the scene of the present in
vasion, is an important strategic posi-
tion, threatening Edhem Pashas com
with Janina, the Turkish
headquarters in Albania.

CUT IT'S WAY OUT.
Its Way Through n Greek Column
with the Loss Of 30 Men Killed.

London, April IA dispatch from
Trikhala says that the Turkish garrison
of Baltine, numbering about 800 men,
which was besieged by Greek insurgents,
cut its way through the Greek ranks with
loss of 30 men killed. 1t is added, that
the fighting was stubborn. 1t was only at
the fourth attempt, that the Turks we're
able to issue from their barracks. The
insurgents continued to march into Mace
donia, and have captured the town of
Krania. They pursued the Turks close to
Cipria, which is only two hours distant
from Grevena. Throughout these opera
tlons which have been 90 successful for
the insurgents, the latter have lost only
three chiefs killed and four men wounded,
according to special dispatch. tits re-
ported that the Turkish frontier detach-
ment, yesterday fred on and killed a
