MAIL U STOLEN.
Unknown Thieves Secure an Amount
of Money mt WyandOtte,
Mich.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. ga mail pouch
containing $10O,O 900 in negotiable paper
and an unknown amount of money was
stolen from the Wyandotte (Mich.)
Michigan Central railroad passenger
station some time Thursday night. The
last mail for Wyandotte arrives at 1928
ON the Michigan Central, and owing to
the lateness of the hour it is left in the
station until morning. When the two
mail sacks were thrown from the train
Thursday night Night Operator Rich
ert threw the pouches under a seat in
the corner Of the waiting-room. He
then went to his home in Detroit. Fri
day when Mail Carrier John McCleary
came to the station for the mail sacks
he missed one. About the same time
George Bessy, a driver of an oil wagon,
reported at the station that a pouch
ripped open and empty, was behind an
oil tank a short distance from the sta
ton. The j. B. Ford alkali works is
one of the principal industries of Wy
andotte, and about the time of the find
ing of the pouch two office employees
brought in a number of checks and
opened envelopes they had found
strewn along the railroad track. Post
master johnson, of Wyandotte, was
notified and went at once to the scene
of the robbery. The trail of the thief
was marked along the railroad track
by strewn letters, checks and drafts.
Most of the mail was intended for the
j. B. Ford company, and a force of
clerks was sent out to collect the let
tiers strewn along the track. The rea-
son for this activity on the part of the
]. B. Ford company was that ]. B. Ford,
Jr., said he expected a draft from New
York for $4,000. The draft did not
come Friday, and it is believed that the
robber or robbers took it with other
valuable papers from the pouch.

TO MAKE TEST CASE
Validity Of the Titus Amend
ment to be Determined.

Des Moines, Dec. 29-Attorney GEN
eral Remley and others interested in
the fate of the biennial election
amendment have decided upon a
course to follow for getting the ear
liest practicable decision on all the
points involved in that controversy
and will proceed accordingly They
will carry to the supreme court a
case from Washington county
brought by agreement. This will be
that of N. w. Bailey, county attor-
ney-elect, against 8. W. Brockhsrt,
the present county attorney. The
former will make a demand for the
Office on Jan. s., the earliest day on
which he is entitled to possession,
and on being refused will apply for
an order from Judge Dewey of the
district court. The defense will be
the alleged error in the Titus amend
ment by which the terms of the pres
emit officials were continued next
year, and the plaintiff in the case
will allege that this is not a art of
the constitution, but that even il it
was the defendant would not be en-
titled to his office The attorney
general has put into the case all the
points involved. 1t will be an at
tempt to have the court pass on the
regularity of the adoption of the
amendment as well as its alleged
weaknesses. Prominentattorneys of
the state will be invited to prepare
briefs on the va, ious phases OF the
question and Senator Titus will give
what assistance he can. In short,
the case is to be complt tie in every
particular, and a decision is desired
before the first of February

Wichita, Kan, Dec. 29.-Mrs. Carrie

peared for trial in the city court Fri

next week." was the answer
How will Friday do?"
"Not at all, your honor. Christ was
crucified on that day, and I am afraid
that my enemies will cruelty me, also,
if tried on Friday"
By consent of both sides the case was
then continued until Saturday, Janu-
airy 5. A number of citizens and w. C.
T. U. members have offered to go on
Mrs. Nations bail, but she refuses TO
leave prison until the charge against
her is cleared. She has no fears at all
as to the outcome of the trial, and in
this she is supported by lawyers well
up in their profession. Mrs. Nation
was followed to her cell by at least 100
w. c. T. U. women, who remained in
prayer meeting with the prisoner for
some time.
The w. c. T. U. society has wired
John G. Woolley, late presidential can
didate on the prohibition ticket, to de-
fend Mrs. Nation. Judge Brock, OF
Newton, had been sought, but at the
last moment he refused to act. Mrs,
Nation still asserts that she will keep
a up her violent attacks on saloons any
where in Kansas. She appeals to tenn
perance people ito strike while the iron
is hot" Mrs. Nations action may pre-
cipitate this county into an anti-liquor
war. The W. C. T. U. has taken an ac-
tive hand in the matter and its mem
beers say they will force this fight to the
end. Mrs. Lillian Mitchner, of Newton,
district president of the W. C. T. u.
will personally conduct the campaign
against the sale of ~intoxicants. A sig
nifcant feature of the warrant on
which Mrs. Nation was arrested is the
fact that the document does not accuse
her of destroying any liquors, but only
specifies the mirror and paintings.
Mrs. Nation was offered her liberty
on condition that she would refrain
from saloon-smashing in the future,
but she refused, saying il was her fixed
intention to fling rocks at the win
dows and glassware of Kansas saloons
until the county attorney would throw
away the cigar he held in his mouth.

THE USUAL RESULT.
Attempt to Thaw Out a Lot of Dy-
Mantle Ends Disastrously.

Keyser, w. Va, Dec. 29.-0ne of the
most disastrous accidents in the his
tory of railroad building in this Sec
ton happened at Baker Camp, near
Durbin, Pocahontas county, on the
line of the Coal & Iron railroad now
building out from Elkins. AS the re-
suit of a dynamite explosion six men
r dead and several others are not
expected to live. The accident hap
pened at 400 Thursday while the
men were at dinner. Some dynamite
had been placed about the stove to
thaw out, and shortly after a terrific
explosion wrecked the camp, killed
three men outright and injured eight
others, three of whom have since died.
The dead men were blown to atoms,
legs, arms and hands and even parts
of their bodies being found In differ
ent directions from the little building
in which they lived among the wild
mountains. Physicians hurried from
Greenbank and worked all night with
the wounded, some of whom begged
the doctors to shoot them instead of
helping them to live to be blinded or
MANNED for life. On account of indi.
rect cor uections with the camp it is
impossible to secure the complete de-
tails.

Tn 1893 the Cleveland & Moctezuma

In 1893 the Cleveland & Moctezuma Mining Co.,, of Cleveland, Ono, bought the Nina Grande. Arroyo, Cura Hidalgo, and other mines, open ed up the old workings through new tunnel, exposing large bodies of high grade silver ores, to treat which they erected the lixiviation plant now upon the property. In August 1894 they set the teaching plant into operation, and in two and tne.half years mined and reduced about l4,000 tons of ore on an experimental plant which yleld- ed nearly 500,000 ounces of fine silver In 1897 the ores handled were of higher grade, but the uneconomical methods employed ate all the profits. The ownership of the property gradually passed under the present ownership, and work was resumed about two years ago.
 The ore deposits are in true Assure veins, which are from twenty to forty feet in width, and can be traced along both sides of the canon. The Tajos mine is upon one leoge which runs through the mountain upon one side of a narrow cailOn. while the Miua Grande and Arrovo mines are upon the other side Of the same canon, not stones throw away In the three properties there are in sight several thousand feet of workings and large bodies of rich ore are exposed to sight.
 The two ledges seem to unite in the San Francisco mine, about mile up the caiion, which is owned by J. M. Lopez of Tepupa, and Francisco Ga llegos, of Lampazos From their mine the two owners have extracted some very high grade silver rock. and have shipped and sold at goodly profit. They have contracted with the own CTS of the reduction works to reduce for them 800 tons of ore which will yield 75 ounces O1 line silver per Lob. The San Francisco mine abuts upon the line Of the Sdhuaripa district, but the lodges continue over there. The ground adjacent to the line has been denounced in the Sahuaripa district by Doctor A. c. Wright, surgeon for the Lampazos company and associates Assays of ores from the croppings have given excellent results, and the own CTS believe they have the making of a big mine.
