LARGE NEW MEXICO TURQUOISE
Probably the Finest One Ever Taken
 From American Soil.

Santa Fe, N. M., Sept. 17.-Probably the largest and finest grade turquoise ever taken from American soil was received here yesterday from southern New Mexico and is now in possession of Lapidary Thomas Moore. It weighs 175 carats and 1t is estimated by competent experts that it will weigh fully eighty-tight carats fine when cut and polished. It has the best color known, being a delicate sky blue, just shade lighter than a bluebird's wing, which is the tint known as the American standard of color. This, with number of small CT turquoise running from forty to ten carats, was taken from a newly discovered mine, the location of which, it is believed, is in Lincoln county, N. M. Absolutely, no details of this dis covery can be learned, but 1t is thought by mining men that the dis play of these stones will start wig orous search for turquoise properties. This large stone is estimated to be worth $6,O0O.

City of Mexico, Sept. 17.-Arnulfo, who attempted to assassinate Presi- dent Diaz yesterday, was lynched last night by a mob of common people, who broke into the jail. Crowds thronged the streets cheering for Diaz and the republic.
 The act is unprecedented in the his tory of this country. At 1 o'clock this morning 200 men forced their way into the municipal palace, ascended the stairway, overcame the guards and made their way to the office of the inspector general and killed Arnulfo. whom they found there- The killing was wild and savage scene. and was followed by a noisy retreat.
 The assistant chief of police was sleeping in an adjoining room and was awakened by a noise. He arose and ran to the balcony, firing this pis tol as a signal for help. At the same time he called to a policeman to make an attempt to detain the lynchers, who were making their escape. The firing of pistols and the whistles of the po- licemen brought other officials, who succeeded in capturing a score of per sons The inspector general and In spector Viliavicenir soon arrived on horseback.
 When the police entered the room they found the body of the dead man lying in the middle of the floor lit eralE riddled with bullets and knife stabs By his side was found a door bar and several knives and other steel instruments. The gend' d'armes guarding Arnulfo were unarmed When they surprised Arnulfo he was in a straight jacket and could make no resistance. He seemed too terri fled to speak.
 General satisfaction was expressed here today and the news of the lynch ing of Arnulfo spread through the city, although the more reflective people, especially business and pro fessional men, said they deplored the act of mob violence and feared it would be misinterpreted abroad. Ar nulfo was confined in the general po- lice headquarters and was conversing with one of the officers when a great crowd of people, apparently of the lower class, entered the building and overcoming all resistance stabbed the assassin to death. Over twenty ar rests were made and strict inquiry will be instituted.

FIGEL LIVED TOO HIGH
He Must Answer for the Murder
 of Isaac Hoffman.
A Writ of Habeas Carpus Sworn Out Based on the Theory That it Was Not Shown That Hoffman Had Been Murdered.

San Francisco, Sept 17.-Judge Campbell this morning held Theodore i. Figel, formerly bookkeeper for Hoffman, Rothchild & Co., of this city, to answer to the charge of having murdered his employer, Isaac Hoff- man, in the office on Battery street on the evening of June 1 last, and re- manded him to the custody of the sheriff without bail. Figel had all ready been held to answer on several charges of forgery and embezzlement and it is believed by the prosecution that he murdered his employer after the latter had informed him that his thefts had been discovered, and threatened exposure.
 Although in receipt of a salary of s200 a month only, Figel owned a stable of thoroughbreds and twas known as plunger nthe local track. It is alleged by the prosecution that he maintained his sporting proclivi- ties at his employers expense. His defalcations amount to about -$10 ,000.
 Judge Cook issued writ of habeas corpus returnable on Tuesday next, at the instance of David Figel, father of Theodore Figel, requiring Sheriff Whalen to show cause why the young bookkeeper should not be released from custody.
 The petition for the writ is based upon the claim that no evidence has been produced to show that Isaac Hoffman, for the murder of whom Fiji gel was held to answer, was murdered.
