Mysterious Shooting at Port Huron.


A very strange case of murder or sui
eide is connected with the death of
George King, of Port Huron, who died
from wounds received two days before.
During that time King was about town
with large cash on the right temple
which exposed the skull and it was
thought that this was the cause of
death, but during the postmortem a
bullet hole was found in the skull half
an inch above the cash. The bullet
had plowed through the right lobe of
the brain and lodged against the top
of the skull on the left side. DIR. Hen
derson stated that there is no doubt
that King received the bullet wound
along with the cut, but where and how
he received the wounds is a mystery.

never so great and the export trade
v so large as at present. We are

abroad where We buy one dollars worth
and a great foreign nation is attempt-

touched one-half of one per cent, and
Chicago borrowers with approved col
lateral have beer accommodated as low
as 3k per cent. Five per cent coupon
issues were sold on the Chicago ex-
change Saturday for 1877 and high-grade
stocks paying dividends at the rate OF
5 per cent per annum sold at 1872. The
expansion OF he currency for the past
sixty days has been about SIS, 900, 900.
and compared with a year ago the cir

near future reveals even greater ex-
pansion OF circulation. On the first of
the year corporations will distribute
about 500, 600, 900 in interest and divi-
dends. Besides exports are increasing
rapidly, while imports are decreasing
quite as rapidly. The latest figures tell
that the exports of merchandise from
this country exceed that of Great Bri-

Regime will restore a broken consti-
tuition. Urdini, a count of the last GEN.
fury, who, at the age of thirty-nine had
ruined his health by dissipation, was
told by his physician that he must die
in less than a year. He consulted all
the men of learning of that age, but all
agreed that his constitution was ruin
ed. and had not sufficient vitality left
to sustain life much longer. An old
alchemist, who had studied 'i:e CRU
lation of the blood, discovered that it
fed on w unknown powers One he
described as the breath of life (corre-
spending probably to the recently dis
covered glame), and the other he de-
scribed as a good disposition or, active
cheerfulness.' These two powers di-
gested food and made blood, while ex-
ercise gave strength. Here we find the
four points of health m%consciously dis
covered by a now unknown alchemist
of the last century, and adopted by
Count Urdini. He is resolved to re-
cuperate his lost health, to regenerate
his blood, to rebuild his body and to
live. In three years he was a new man,
he lived to a good old age, and died at
ninety-eight."

THE VAULT TORN OUT.

The work of tearing out the old rec
ord vault at the Union Pacific head
quarters has been completed and the
large a formerly occupied by ii has
been added to the car service depart
mert. BY this change not only is on
siderable more ocm added to the room
where a dozen men and women are en-
ployed in keeping track OF the cars of
the Union Pacific system, but the light
ing Is improved by the added use
of three large windows which were
heretofore closed by the record vault
The old vault was built in the head
quarters shortly after THE Union Pacific
took possession of the old hotel stnuc-
trre for its general uses in 1884. The
vault was constructed with the idea of
preserving the most valuable papers of
| the railroad company from destruction
| by fire or water, or from being lost as
years rolled along. The outer wall of
| the vault was a heavy steel and the
| foundations were of stone n brick.
The men who had the job OF tearing 1t
| out last week found that 1t had been put
in with the evident intention Of stay
| ing there. But the vault has not been
used for half a dozen years, n the
iron room has beer deserted except by
rats and mice. The valuable records
that the company wished to preserve
against possible destruction were then
placed in the new vaults built on the
first floor just east of the main hall
In here are kept the records OF all tht
administrations that have e at the
head of the Union Pacific through its
varied career.-Omaha Bee.
