The Wilder Concert.

The Wilder Concert.
The Wilder orchestra OF Montpelier
| drew good house Friday evening al Du-
Bois q Gays hall, Wilder's name having
become synonymous with good music
where the merit OF his concerts are known
The orchestra OF eight pieces plays with
the rhythmic smoothness OF one instru-
ment controlled by single mind, and the
result is such as to please the critical ear
Of musical critic like Walter Damrosch
OF the New York Symphony orchestra,
who heard these artists at the Pulitzer
Webb wedding at Shelburne Farms and
pronounced their music wonderfully fine,
intonatiOn good, time excellent and tempo
perfect and told the leader he should form
a symphony orchestra.
The cornet solo OF Mr.. Karl Forsell was
rendered Friday evening with rare skill
that drew appreciatiye applause, and the
first violin, with no less art, welded hls
bow to draw full sweet tones from the
strings OF bis instrument.
Mr.. Wilder showed his complete mas
terry OF the flute in a Fantasia in which the
trickling notes dropped like strings OF
pearls, and in his encores played the flute
with his left hand and the piano accom-
paniment with his right, succeeding so
admirably that two hands for either per-
formance seemed altogether superfuous.
MISS Adsntu OF montpelier was Alr.
Wilder's accompanist for the Fantasia.
After the concert came ball, at which
about fifty couples tripped il merrily to
the exquisite dance music OF the orchestra.
There were several present from out OF
town, among them Mr.. aud Mrs. Layton
Elliott Of North Ferrisburgh, guests at G..
A. Parsons; Clarence and Miss Mary
Webb Of East Granville, Mrs. j. A. stur-
tevant and II. {. Mooney OF st. Albans, |

Death OF L. N. MartelI.

l.. N. MartelI, the well-known
machinist and blacksmith at MartelI

Sunday morning last. He went to
the city about month ago for treat
ment for an abcess, which bad formed
in one ear, and which threatened
serious consequences. His wife ac-
compained him to the city. nursed
him while occupying private apart
ments on Sixth street. While she vas
seeking rest, Martell, wandering
around the premises, fell from a win
dow on to the roof of building some
Is feet blow, fracturing his hip and
receiving other Einjuries. His life
was despaired of for a time on
account of this accident. But he i'm
proved, and fatal outcome of this
mishap was no longer feared. 1t was
the gathering in the ear that sapped
the foundations of life. The disease
mounted to the brain. Indeed, there
we're but faint hopes held out by the
physicians below of a cure. Mrs
Martell remained with him In the
city until the end. The body was
brought home Tuesday evening, and
the funeral will take place tomorrow

years ago. He leaves a wife, three
daughters, two married, and three
sons, to lament his death. He was

FATAL MINING ACCIDENT.
John Traverse Meets Death in South
Eureka Shaft.

Another of those unaccountable
fatalities in connection with mining
operations occurred at the South
Eureka on Sutter hill, on Saturday
last, the victim being young man
named John Traverse. He was skip
tender at the 1000 foot level.
The chute where the skip is filled
with rock is located about 20 feet
below the level. He had filled his
fifth skip with waste, and assembled
to the level, where he was to get off.
At each level, it is customary for the
engineer, whether signaled or not,
to stop the skip to give sufficient
time for men to get on or of. Where
a longer stop than usual is wanted,
the bell signal Is brought into play.
On this occasion, as the testimony
was brought out at the coroner g IN
quest, nothing more than the ordin-
ary wait was needed and the engineer
stopped the skip as usual of his own
accord. There was one on the
skip beside the Inflated man,
who also wanted to get off at the
1000 level. For some unaccountabIe
reason or from thoughtlessness, per-
haps, Traverse did not step off the
skip with customary alac1ity. He
placed one foot on the landing, and
remained with the other foot on the
skip. He was spoken to by the shift
boss, and asked why he did not step
off at once. The skip started upward
while he was astraddIe of the skip
and the landing, throwing his head
against the timbers of the shaft, and
he fell into the sump, about 400 feet
below. He was no doubt killed by
striking the back of the shaft prior
to his tall. He had been working at
the mine for about a year, and for
two months had been tending skip.
He was thoroughly conversant with his
duties, and the rules governing the
skip and getting on and off. The

getting off by the act of the deceased.
He remained on the skip when it
started upward, and no harm befelI
him.
Deceased was a native of Italy, a
single man, about 25 years Of age.
The funeral took place Wednesday
afternoon, the delay in the last sad
rites was to enable two brothers
of deceased to get here from Napa
and other points. Services were held
in the Catholic church and the body
laid at rest in the cemetery of that
denomination. The local lodge of
Druids attended the funeral in a
body, the victim being member of
that organization.

Died at Napa.

Word was received by Perry Lepley
yesterday morning, from the author
tiles of the Napa asylum, stating that
Isaac Lepley had died in that in
stitution. Ihe deceased was weaken
ed in intellect owing to advanced
years, and was examined for insanity
two weeks ago, and taken to Napa
on the 9th instant, by sheriff Norman.
Although perceptibly failing in body
and mind, it was not expected that
the end would come so soon. The
remains will probably be brought to
AmadoI county for interment. He
was 76 years of age, and born in
Pennsylvania. He leaves a son and
daughter, both married.

THE CHESTER MAKER MURDER.
Samuel SWearingen Indicted for
that Crime.

The grand jury which met this week
brought in true bill against Samuel
E. Swearingen, alias Love, for the
murder of Chester E. Maker in
Lancha Plana, on the 18th of June
last. Swearingen pleaded guilty to a
charge of murder in the killing of
Mrs Phoebe Williams, and confessed
to. the officers the part he took in the
Lancha Plana tragedies. He accused
Clarence Murphy of the actual killing
of the old lady, while he kept watch
in the front yard. The weakness of
his testimony in the Murphy trial
consisted mainly in his profession of
ignorance concerning the killing of
the grandson. According to his state
ment, Murphy took Maker away,
while Swearingen remained at the
Williams dwelling. Murphy was away
half an hour he said, and returned
alone. That was all he knew about
the taking off of the boy. The story
was deemed utterly incredible, and so
treated by the jury. No one could
believe that he would share in the old
lady's death, and not be conversant
with, and actually present at the
murder OF Maker. This improbable
version no doubt influenced the jury
in disregarding the testimony of Love
altogether, and acquitting Murphy.
Swearingen is under sentence of life
Imprisonment for the part he took in
the murder of Mrs Williams. The
Maker crime was not considered by
the grand jury when indictments for
the Williams killing were found.
But this week that matter was called
to their attention resulting in the find
ing of the second indictment against
Swearingen. What additional evil
dence the officers have to connect the
defendant with that otfense we do not
know. Doubtless, some new facts
have been discovered, which led to
placing him on trial for this first
killing on that fateful night in June
The case is perhaps without a parallel
in the history of the state. Indeed,
the annals of criminal prosecution in
the United States will doubtless fail
to furnish a similar case. of con-
victed felon-convicted on his own
confession, and sentenced to life i'm
prisonment-being put on trial for
another crime, growing out of the
same plot which led up to the self
confessed murder.
Swearingen has been held in the
county Jail ever since his sentence.
He Is still there. 1t makes no differ
ence to him how long he is held here
Rumors are afloat that he has made
other admissions of his completely in
taking the life of Maker; that he
lied in that regard in his confession
and on the witness stand, as everyone
believed he did. Few men would do
otherwise than endeavor to screen
themselves under similar circum-
stances. 1t is nothing uncommon for
criminal to lie to escape the con-
sequences of his crime. What will
Swearingen do now? The fact of his
second Indictment necessarily carries
the idea that the prosecution seeks to
impose additional punishment, and
the only additional penalty is death.

Suicided in San Francisco.

Mrs. Lille Arditto committed
suicide at her residenc, 1856 Twenty
fifth street, shortly before noon
yesterday by drinking the contents
of bottle of carboIIc acid. Despond-
ency caused by her hubsands' epIlep-
tic fits is attributed as the only
reason for the rash act. Her husband,
David Arditto, brickIayer, employ
ed by the Board of Public Works, had
one of the fits in front of his resi-
dence on Friday night, which almost
drove her frantic.
Shortly before noon Mrs. Arditto s
little girl Oracle, 5 years of age, was
in the house with her and she saw her
drink the poison. She screamed and
ran to her aunt, Mrs. Lizzie Brum-
field, who lives at 1852 Twenty fifth
street, and told what her mother had
done. Mrs. Brumtield ran to the
house and at once summoned DIR. III.
o. Won der Lieth., who found on
arriving that there was no hope, and
Mrs. Arditto died in a few minutes.
The body was removed to the Morgue
by Deputy Coroner Brown.
Besides the little girl there is
another daughter, Madeline, years
of age. Mrs. Ardltto was 26 years of
age and her neighbors all speak we'll
of her.
She had left a note written in
pencil which reads:
''For Gods sake, be good to my
babies. L tried to live for their
sakes, but the future looks darker
than the past, and l can't stand it
any longer. | would like to take
them with me, but ] haven't the
courage. L can't stand it any longer.
Oh my God, be good to my babies
| hate to leave them, but if | stay |
might make things worse for them.
Be good to them and remember very
time you say harsh word to them
you are hurting me. Good d-by all, and
God bless you'll God forgive me, l
am a coward. Don't be mean to
Madeline. If she is little wild she
will grow out of that after a while,
and please be good to her. If you
possible can keep both my babies
together; don't separate. them. - S.
F.. Call, Dec. II.
Deceased was sister in-law of G..
b. Arditto of this town. Chez left
Monday morning to attend the
funeral. The victim was a San Fran
cicso girl. Her husband is an ANA
dor City boy, and we'll known in this
county, although for number OF
years he has made his home in San
Francisco.

MINING NOTES.

Wildman- -Mahoney. = Underground
work at this mine came to stand
still on Friday last. Nothing is being
done except to keep the mine free
from water. The men expected to be
paid the wages due them on the 18th,
and the money not Eeing forthcoming
they decided to quit. The company
is many months in arrears for wages,
some are reported to have one years
wages due them, and all are creditors
to large amount for men working
for wages. The merchants of Sutter
Creek, where the mine is located,
have carried most of the toiIers dur
ing this time, and the shut down
falls especially heavy on them. The
mine is in debt otherwise than to the
wage -earners, and this fact compIi-
Gates the situation materially, adding
to the uncertainty of protection by
labor liens. John Ross, the superln-
tendent, has worked hard to keep the
mine running, pending negotiations
| for sale of the mine with adjacent
claims. Reports say that pay Gre has
been lately encountered, which would
likely place the consolidated pro-
perties on paying basis. Notwith-
standing the improved underground
prospects, the sale has not been con-
summatod, and the shutdown has
resulted. Mr.. Ross is still working
to dispose of the property, and every
one in Sutter Creek hopes he will
succeed. With a little capital it is
the general opinion that the mine
could be placed on paying footing.
Valparaiso-This property which
adjoins the Mammoth mine on the
north, is located in Murphy's gulch.
1t has turned out considerable gold,
the formation being of a pocketty
character. 1t has been owned by
seven parties, and has been idle for
several years. This week it has
changed hands. Ginnociho Bros,
who owned the largest interest, also
q. Poggi and W. F. Detert, sold out
to party of five, namely D. Bora, g.
Badaracco, h. Garibaldi, Demartini
and another. The price paid was on
an appraised valuation of Sl2OO0 for
the entire mine. 1t is expected that
the new owners will go to work on
the claim at once, and the prevailing
opinion is that by judicious. man
agement it can be made to pay we'll.
The South Eureka has levied assess
ment No "A of five cents per share.
This company has been paying assess
ments for over twelve years. and the
manner in which the stockholders
have stood up under the financial
strain is without a parallel in the
history of mining operations in this
county. The prospects of the mine
have been bright occasionally. When
the addition to the mill was started
over year ago, it was hoped that the
| dividend paying era had dawned. and
strong hopes are still entertained that
it will ultimately come out all right.

The City Fathers Meet.

The first meeting of town trustees
was held Monday evening at the
office of Jas. Jay Wright. 1t was
merely an informal affair, and for the
purpose of fixing upon a time and
place for holding the regular meet
ings. AS almost everything pertain
ing TO the city government must be
done by ordinance, and the ordinances
must be published for one week,
little could be done at the first meet
ing. Word has been received from
the State officials, announcing the
Incorporation of the city, and In
answer to inquiries, stating that the
city officials would have to be elected
again in April next. The meeting
place for the time being has been
named in the hall of records, we
presume in the Supervisors room,
and the time, the first Thursday in
each month at :p3O. m.
