El Paso, Tex., March 14—The treatment of H. Heszell, who con- ducts mining operations in Chihua- hua, shows the difficulties under which business is done with Mexico. Yesterday he made heavy purchases in El Paso for his camp and then went toa broker to have them put through the custom house. The broker was not in and by official suggestion the goods were taken across the river in wagons, with the intention of having them examined directly at the custom house, but as soon as the Mexican side was reach- | ed a seizure was made and Haszell was thrown into jail, heavily fined aud made to pay additional duties, which amounted to confiscation. Proof that no violation of the law was intended would not be enter- A Miser’s Estate. Last Friday an old man named! George C. Hayden died in a cheap German boarding house at 1623 Franklin avenue. Helivedinsqualid quarters, wore the cheapest clothing, and was generally believed to have been very poor, though he never did any work. When public adminis- trator Scudder took charge of his effects, however, he was greatly sur- prised to find a key to the safety de- posit vaults in which he found be- tween $35,000 and $40,000 in bonds, stocks and securities. Among these were 35 shares of Boatman’s Bank stock valued at $3,900 and a deposit of nearly $1,000 in that in- stitution. Cashier Thompson in- formed a Republic reporter yester- day that Hayde= was one of the bank's oldest stockholders and de-| positors. He was formerly a stone- mason and accumulated his fortune! To The People of Old Mt. Pleasant Township. As the time is drawing near when a levy for the payment of the inter- est,and perhaps also for a sinking | fund for Mt. Pleasant township bonds, and as our taxes are tolerably | heavy at present, without a levy for a sinking fund, I thought that per- haps the township would like to re- fund their bonds at a lower rate of interest, and having that end in view Liav been in correspondence for | some time with parties that deal in | that class of securities and Iam satis- | fied that refund bonds, and issue new ones draw- ing 4} per cent d find purchasers in advance of issue for them at present. I don't believe we can get par for refunding bonds at a less rate than 44 per cent and may possibly have to issue 5 per cent bonds in order to receive face value, but even at 5 per cent there would be a saving to the Twp. of $1,700 per year, or in twenty years a saving to the township of at least $40,000 or nearly one-fourth of the present debt. Would like to know we can or 5 | through our paper or otherwise the feelings of the residents of old Mt. | Pleasant township on the proposi- | tion. Very truly, W. H. Warnock. An Absolute Cure.

The Oklahoma Boomers Telegraph President Harrison. Purcell, I. T., March 14.—The fol- lowing message on the situation was to-day sent President Harrison by Oklahoma Hill and party after spending the day at boomers’ camp and Purcell: “The situation in Oklahoma is citical. It is a national necessity to have action at once in Oklahoma. If the thousands of actual, honest set- tlers clamoring for admission are deprived of the right to settlement till too late to make a crop it will be a severe disappoinment and will cause actual starvation on the bor- der.” Prairie fires, believed to have been started by the boomers, raged all last night and to-day, and immense tracts of grazing land and a large number of cattle have been burned. Consultation to-day between leaders ended in a complete formulation of the invasion. The cattlemen here have to-day made dire threats against Hill, and he leaves to morrow for Oklahoma. They Were Colored. Richmond, Va., March 14.—Gov. Lee astonished the public yesterday by allowing a negro couple to be married in his office in the capitol and then presenting the groom with a pardon which saved him from spending his wedding day in the penitentiary. This is the first wed- ding ceremony ever performed in the Virginia capitol and it is a sin- gular circumstance that the couple by miserly habits.
