Judge Brown in the United States
Court at Detroit has decided that the de¬
vice. “Patent Applied For" is no protec¬
tion to an inventor.
It will require about 12,000 men to
man the new American Navy. It would
prove interesting to know how many of
the number will be native Americans.
The number of stars in the United
States flag for all branches of the service
is thirty-eight, and the number will not
be changed until the Fourth of July,
1890.

A Bishop has been found who defends
boxing. The Bishop of Bedford, Eng¬
land, has just said: “I can see no possi¬
ble harm in boxing. It is a capital ex¬
ercise, and calculated to promote good
temper and self control. I do not know
•why every man should not know how to
defend himself.”
1 One of the peculiarities of the United
States .which forcibly impresses foreign-
«rs, states the San Francisco Chronicle , is
the bad condition of the country roads.
While the facilities for moving goods
from one remote point to another have
increased at a prodigious rate in America,
very little has been to improve the road¬
ways traversed by wagons.
A French missionary gives a serious ac¬

Though it is not a legal institution, yet
the law permits the Indian to sell himself

debts, and once a slave he is rarely able to
free himself. lie may be bequeathed by

The custom of the Digger Indians in
California has always been to cremate their
dead. The first funeral of an Indian by
burial from the neighborhood of Smarts-
ville tbok place a day or two since. The
remains were interred in Nevada County.
They were of a girl who was one of the
fifth of six generations in which they were

The little country of Holland has fallei
so far from the proud position it once
held among the nations of the earth, that
we are accustomed to think of the sturdy
Dutch nation as a people of little conse¬
quence. Yet, notwithstanding the de¬
cline of her strength in Europe, Holland
is still one of the great colonial powers of
the world, ranking, it is said, only next
to Great Britain in that respect. Her
colonial possessions comprise some eight
hundred thousand square miles of fine
and fertile tropical territory.
Observes the New York Telegram;
“By the by, there’s something very droll
about Gould making his private physician
—one Miinn, or Bunn or something of
that sort—a director in Union Pacific
The medical gentleman receives a salary
of $20,000 a year from Gould. Of
course the better part of this will go into
investments in the stock of which he is a
director, and equally, of course, the bet¬
ter of that $20,000 will eventually get
back into Gould s pocket. That's why
the whole thing strikes me as droll. - ’
Says the New York Graphic: “J. L.
Bell, the new Superintendent of the Rail¬
way Mail Service, has not gone into the
service of the Government to make money.
He was earning as a railway expert about
$20,000 a year, and received $5000 as a
fee for his advice and work in one rail¬
way case just before he was asked to takt
the present office. His salary as Superin¬
tendent of the Mail Service is $4000 a
year. He is a personal friend of Post-
master-General Wanamaker, and haj
sacrificed his financial interests to do th?
Philadelphia statesman a favor. - ’
Governor Porter, the new Minister tc
Italy, is said by the Alta Californian tc
have the same disease in his foot that once
troubled the late Vice-President Hen

his specs, took out his jack-knife aac

tobacco. When asked what ailed Hen.
dricks he replied: ‘ ‘A bite on his bis
toe.” The toe got .well. The Californu

were indicted by the grand jury at Chi¬
cago, Ill., on Tuesday for the murder of
Dr. Cronin. The three prisoners were
included in one indictment, to which
there were three counts, one charging
them with killing Dr. Cronin with blunt
instruments, the second alleging the use
of a sharp instrument and third, instru¬
ment and means unknown, The con-
fession of Sullivan in all probability
will lead to the arrest and punishment
of some of the murderers of Dr. Cronin.
The civil engineers and those of the
Savannah, Americus& Montgomery, col¬
lided in the upper part of Tattnall coun¬
ty, two or three days ago. The Central
corps started out ten days ago to locate
the Eden extension west towards East-
man. Col. Hawkins has had a corps in
the woods for three weeks, running a
line from McRae to Savannah. To the
surprise of both parties they ran plum
against each other this week. The Cen-
tial men were surprised to find their ri¬
vals so far north. No blood w r as shed,
nnd each party went on its way. Where
the two lints are to strike the East Ten¬
nessee, they ate fifteen miles apart.
D. W. Harvey,-when opening anew
road about two hundred yards up on the
side of Pigeon mountain, Dear LaFay-
ette, Ga., a flat rock was moved. Be¬
neath it was a stove pot, that contained
$2,688.60 in specie. Fifteen years ago
theie was a find near Trion. Some
hands were at.work cutting down a hol¬
low post oak. As it broke off the stump,
a Mexican dollar rolled out. When a
thorough search was made, a number of
them were found. All were counterfeit.
Some shover of the queer had in times
past used this oak as the keeper of his
secret.
CHICAGO’S HORROR.
A DETECTIVE CHARGED W1TII DECOYING
A MAN TO A HOUSE TO BE MURDERED.
Dr. P. n. Cronin, of Ireland, and a
resident of Chicago, Ill., was muidered
a few days ago. One reason for the re¬
moval of Dr. Cronin was the minority
report which he had prepared as a mem¬
ber of a committee of the National
League, which had been misappropria¬ appointed to
look into certain rumored
tions of League money. This report of
Dr. Cronin is said to have implicated a
number of prominent officials, and
would hare been read before the meeting
of the League next January. There was
scarcely an Irish benevolent, political,
literary or social society of which he was
not a member. He was an ardent sup¬
porter of the policy of Parnell, and was
prominent in Irish-American political
movement. His friends attributed his
disappearance to a conspiracy of his
Irish political enemies, and asserted that
he had several times said to his wife: “If
I lose my life, or anything happens to
me, Alexander Sullivan will be the one
back of it.” A member of the Chicago
police force is implicated in the taking
off of Dr. Cronin. The officer in ques¬
tion is Detective Daniel Coughlin. On
the morning of the day on which Dr.
Cronin disappeared, Coughlin engaged
at a livery stable, not far from where
Dr. Cronin lived, a horse nnd buggy,
which he said a friend of his would call
for that evening; that he called and was
given a white horse similar to the
one attached to the buggy in which
Cronin was decoyed away; that the time
of going and the description of the man
corresponds minutely, both with the time
when the man came for Dr. Cronin and
with the appearance of the man himself;
that Coughlin subsequently cautioned
the livery stable keeper to say nothing
about the matter. Coughlin was
a member of one or more societies of
which Cronin was a member and
they were enemiis. The matter was
finally brought to the attention of Chief
of Police Hubbard, who seems inclined
to take a serious view of the matter and
promises to probe it to the bottom. It
is reported that C. I Long, who sent
dispatches from Toronto to several Chi¬
cago papers to the effect that he had seen
and conversed with Dr. Cronin in that
city several days after he was murdered
there, has been seen in Chicago within
the past week. The rumor cannot now
be verified. The whole affair is a singu¬
lar one, nnd seems to bear out the theory
of the police that it w-as a political mur¬
der, and that Detective Coughlin is cog¬
nizant of the particulars, if he did not
take part in the actual murder.
LUCKY TENNESSEEANS.
a pedler’s fortune will be divided
AMONG 8QME DESERVING PEOPLE.
S‘atc Representative Jones, of Benton
county, passed through Nashville
on his way to Plainfield, N. J., to look
after a large fortune left to some of his
clients. About fifty yeais ago a mau
named Latimer was tramping through
North Carolina with a pedler’e pack on
his back, when he fell in love with a
poor girl named Sarah Mitchell, whom he
saw working in a field. He at once pro¬
posed to her father to work in the giri’s
place for his Iu board, if she would go to
the house. a few weeks he married
the girl and the two went to Plainfield,
N. J., to live. They prospered, and five
years ago Latimer died wor;h $1,000,-
000. Half of this he left to his relatives
and half to his wife. A few weeks ago
the widow died, leaving something over
$500,000. One half of this she willed
to the children of her brothers an i sis¬
ters, who had removed to Benton and
Humphreys counties, Tenn., soon after
she had gone to New Jersey. 3Ir. Jones
says the $250,000 will come to about
twenty heirs in bi3 county and Humph¬
reys, and will lift them out of } overty
into affluence. One of the family, A.
II. Mitchell, is a trustee of Eenk>n coun¬
ty, and gets by the will $40,COO.

Sheriff Henderson, who has been on
s;uard the last two weeks .it Slatonville,
111., a mining town, telegraphed for re¬
inforcements. A riot is anticipated, as
the striking miners of Spring Valley,
LaSalle and Streator have threatened to
close the mines by force, The coal
mines at Slatonville are the only ones in
operation in the northern part of that
state.
There was another conflict at Falcar-
ragh, Ireland, on Monday, between
evictors and tenants, during which
twenty five policemen were injured.
Houses were barricaded in the usual
way, and the police for a time were
totally unable to effect an entrance
through the doors. As usual, the su¬
perior forces of the beseigers at last pre¬
vailed, and the evictions were finally
accomplished.
Experiments in the economy of burning
powdered coal side by side with natural
gas at the works of Moorhead Bros. &
Co., at Pittsburg, Pa., were successful.
The amount of coal consumed i:i the
first test was 864 pounds and the amount
of iron heated was 4,600 pounds. The
charge for natural gas is at the rate of
cne dollar per ton of iron, while the
cost under the new process, it is claimed,
would not exceed, iucluding pulveriza¬
tion, fifty cents per ton of iron.
A special freight train from Bridge¬ regular
port, Conn., collided with the
Albany freight, bound south, on the
Housatonic Railroad on Tuesday near
Bull station, causing a disastrous wreck.
Both tfains came together with a terrible
crash, wrecking the engines into a shape*
less mass, telescoping two fruit cars on
the Up train and derailing nine other
cars. Engineer William B. Look, of
Great Barringt* n, Ma'-s., who had charge
of the engine of the up train, was crushed
to death.
A terrific III. windstorm passed Cyclonic over
Quincy, The storm w r as
in its nature, nnd considerable damage
was done. A black, funnel-shaped cloud
sw-ept at a furious rate from northwest
to southwest, descending to the earth at
irregular intervals. Several houses and
barns were unroofed and Irecs were
pulled up by the roots. The full force
of the storm struck the cemetery in the
southern part of the city, and nearly
every monument in the grounds was de¬
molished.
The two companies of the Chicagro,Ill., Braid-
militia, wdiich left that city for
wood, where they have been sent by
Governor Fifer to preserve the peace,had
a close call at Gardner Tuesday. The
conductor of the train, on leaving Chica¬
go, had received orders to run
slowly between Gardner and Braidivood.
It was well this warning was given,
otherwise there would have been a terri¬
ble disaster. On reaching Gardner it was
found that some miscreant had wedge l
stones in the switehr s so firmlv that a
wreck would surely have followed had
not the obstructions been discovered.
Fire started on 3Ionday in an old the¬
ater building, just opposite the depot
hotel at Reno, Nev., destroying the ho¬
tel, six other houses and offices near, the
Pioneer hotel, Lafaye’te house, Pollard

other direction burned the round house
and turn-table of the Central Pacific
Road and two houses and one cement
house. The Silver State Flouring 3Iills
were the next consumed, and after that
the Fogus Flouring Alii Is.
THE SOLDIERS AHEAD.
The Brunswick, Ga., Riflemen art
mad. They went into camp to drill foi
the St. Simons’ encampment, and Satur¬
day afternoon received orders to break
camp and move. The order came not
from Lieut. Morris,now in command, but
from an irate and wealthy citizen who
claims that the orders are given so loud
at 6 o’clock drill as to disturb his morn¬
ing slumbers. Rather than put up with
it, he purchased the lots whereon the
camp is located at a cost of $3,500, and
the boys had to move in short order.
'1 hey have arranged for grounds only
one square further aw r ay, and now they
will raise a noise sure enough. They are
going to fire a salute at six every morn¬
ing and have decided to have the drums
beat the long roll every mght and to
march by the obnoxious house.
A GREAT CANAL.
The steamship Alvena sailed on Sun¬
day for Greytown, Nicaragua, carrying
and fifty men and a quantity of implements
stores for the commencement of the

work to be done will be the balding of
the pier at Greytown, the erection of per¬
manent and slips, quaiters, and ihe hospitals, warehouses
putting up of tele¬

An Illinois notion for making church
sociables pleasant is to give each person
a card on which a dozen names are writ¬
ten, nnd the recipient of the card must
talk five minutes to each one whoso
name is on the card. At the end of each
five minutes a bell sounds and conversa-
tion must cease and new partners be
found. This scheme is said to be death
to wall flowers and cliques, and of great
advantage to the social success of the
HLtert&inment.
FRUIT AS EVIDENCE.
FIT* SUPERSTITIOUS MURDIRERS FUK-
KISH CONVICTING PROOF.
During the trial of Gilbert Lowe at
Birmingham, A*»., for murder, the testi
mony of Ben Elzey disclosed the fact
that the superstition of five negro mur-
derers was largely instrumental in the
identification of their victim and their
arrest. One night last January, Ben
Elzev. Lawrence JohnsoD, Joe Halachi,
Gilbert Lowe and Henry Joe, all negroes,
found J. W. Meadows, a white man,
drunk on the streets; learned he had
about $100 dollars in money in his pock¬
et, and they took him ont on Red Moun¬
tain and robbed and murdered him.
Meadows had a cocoanut in his hand
when murdered. One of the nigrois
picked it up and was going to cat it, so
Elzey testified on Thursday, but the
others told him if he ate the fruit the
ghost of the dead man would haunt
him. This frightened him, and he left
the cocoanut laying by the body. It was
six weeks before the body was found,
and then it was little more than a skele¬
ton, and could not be identified, The
shell of the cocoanut was still laying by
the body. A fiuit dealer, hearing of
this, remembered selling a cocoanut to a
drunken white man, who went away
from bis place in company with five ne¬
groes. This was the first, and one of
the most important links in the chain of
evidence which led to the identification
of the body and the arrest of the mur¬
derers.
THREE VERY BAD BOYS.
Chief of Police Wood, of Fhiladt-1
pliin, Pa., received a telegrom from Jer¬
sey City, signed by John M. Deemer,
requesting him to arrest three boys whe
left there on a train over the Pennsyl¬
vania railroad. Two detectives were
accordingly detailed and when the train
arrived at Broad Hreet station the boys
were arrested. At the Ceutral Police
Station they gave their names as C. E.
Burges, aged 14; Volney Gilbert, 14,and
Charles Dupret, 15. The boys were
walking arsenals. Each was provided
with a rifle, cartridge Celt and revolver,
and a search of their baggage brought
to light a small brass cannon, ammuni¬
tion therefor and fully 2,000 cartridges.
In addition to this, they had fishing
tackle, dark lanterns, base-ball outfits
and the other paraphernalia of sports-
men. All there accoutrements were ol
the finest kind, Tliey ha 1 through
tickets from New York to Louisville,
Ky., and one of the lads stated that their
destination was Sacramento, Cal.
A BOSTON MYSTERY.
A bomb was thrown through a win¬
dow of the house of Mrs. C. 31. Weld,
iu Jama'ca Plain, Mass., near Boston, by
some unknown person. There was no
one in the huuse except a servant girl
nam d Rogeis, who was in the kitchen,
and sLc lor unately escaped unhurt.
The side of the house was partially
blown out, and a large hole was made in
the kiichen floor by the force of the ex¬
plosion. The pipe missile was made of a
piece of gas about a foot in length,
filled with bullets and with both ends
closed by caps.
