Morse on His Sccond Trial — The Jonathun Jones Murder Case— City Council Doings—Lite tle Bits of News, Bagged for Burglary, George Monroe, Charles Turner and James Wilsey are the names given by three men who are awaiting trial this morning on several charges. Wilsey has been identitied by W. A. Maurer’s servant Kirl as the burglar who was in ker room Saturday night. The trio also stole an axe from Cole & Cole, and a rubber coat from M. Marcus, both of which articles they sold for much less than their actual worth, At Mr. Maurer’s residence the g'rl was awakenea by someone striking u match, and seeing & man in the room asked, “Is that you, Mr. Maurer?” “‘Hush !" was the reply, and the light was immediately extinguished. A loud scream from the girl awakened Mr. Maurer, who rushed from his room just in time to see the fellow take a flying leap the whole length of the stairs, jump through a window and run like a deer. About 8 ock Sunday morning Officers O'Brien, vens and Covalt saw the men on the street, and after watching them for an hour, arrested them as suspicious char- scters and placed the charge of vugrancy against them, pending further develop - ments. ‘The result shows the correctness of their suspicions, and the cases will come before Judge Aylesworth to-day. - il The District Court. The triul of criminal cases in the dis- trict court was resumed yesterday. The case of Jonathan Jones, charged with the killing of David Roberts, was set for the first case. Colonel C. R. Scott, now of Omubha, but formerly of this caity ap- peared for the defense. This case has been long in the courts, and the contest has been a hard one. Colorfel Scott se- cured anew trial, and that is to take place at this term of court. He was not quite reatly yesterday to proceed with the trial, and the case wus set for Thursday, when the trial will commence. A special venire of thirty jurymen was secured, and although they were sum- moned for the Jones case especially, yet they were told by Judge Deemer not to leave, although the case had been con- tinued. He thought they might be wanted as jurymen in some other case. The case of William Morse, Rothery’s artner, was then called. In securing a ury most of the afternoon was taken up, The regular panel was exhausted, and some of those summoned by the special venire were put in the box. The attor- neys for the defense objected to this, but their challenge on this™ ground was not deemed suflicient csuse by the judge. Morse will be remcmbvrudyhy many on account of his connection with the sen sational Rothery case. Rothery and Morse were arrested for stealing a dia- mond from Mrs. Burhorn’s jewelry store. Rothery was found guilty, bnt jumped his bondsmen at the last moment. Morse also skipped, but was brought back and tried. ‘The jury disagreed, and now he comes on for a second trial ——— Lightning at Loggerhoads, The lowa & Nebraska Telephone com- pany is endeavoring to procure an in- junction restraining the Electric Light company from crossing their electric cables on the same'side of the street now used by them. The claim set up is that the efliciency of their lines is destroyed by induction, the electric light current being so much more powerful than that of their own system. The cables are to be fastened about ten feet above the wires of the telephone company, the poles and cross-arms being now in place. This distance, it is claimed by the com- plainant, is not sufficient, and at least thirty fe asked to be the minimum distance of separation. The application for the injunction will be argued to-night Judge Deemer. mpression prevails that the in- Jiunction will not be granted, for evidence will be introduced to show t tain places in the the two wires overated well with only two feet separa. tion, The struggle is mainly on upper Broadway, and should the injunction be ranted it will effectively bar the electric ight company from going to many pluces desired to be reached by them. Tney will, at least, be forced to the alter- native of running their cables under- ground, for it is impossible to maintain a distance of thirty feet between the two lines@® —— Dull Monday for Police. There were but two unfortunates in the police court yesterday morning who had to explain the whys and wherefores of their being there. Charles Van Zee was fined $3.10 for being drunk, and William Griflith was gi n a pass to the county jail for thirty days.

While people are wondering what to make of the new Arabian Nights’' Enter- tainment by Count von Mitkiewicz, a little expedition is departing from this port which may effect more jor the Americanization of China than the day dreams of all the counts that have ever been counted. Among the passengers who sailed the 21st ult. in the City of Pe- kin for Yokohama were Mr. A. M. Ells- worth, & mining man of experience; Arthur E. Roberts, assayer; Frank J. Niel, machinst; Mark J. Lidstone, mill- man; Niel Diven, mining foreman, and Charles Taylor, prospecter. All these are in the service of the government of China, engaged under special contract to_reopen and work the gold and silver mines in the province of Shan Tung. To understand the new departure it is necessary to go back a long way. Gold and silver mining was at one time a flourishing industry 1n China. There is reason to believe that the Chinese used gold coins at a period anterior to the date of those Greek and ftarthian speci- mens which form the delight of numisma- tists. They are said to have been cubes without inscriptions. However this may be the art of mining died out. Th due to several causes. In miming, asin other mechanical pursuits, the Chinese reached a certain distance and no fur- ther, They learned how to mine ore and to separate mineral from rock, but they never discovered how to pump water out or pure air into underground workings. Hence in all their mines there came a time when foul gases and water drove out the miners. Still more fatal to the mining industry was the superstition of the Feng Shin. The Feng Shin were underground de- mons who were quiet and- well beh 1 enough so long as they were unmolested in their subterranean abode, but became troublesome and mahgnant if their rest were disturbed. It wus discovered that epidemics and famines followed the workings of certain mi and it was demonstrated without difliculty that the visitations were due to the justly irritated Feng Shin. The controversy lasted some years as such things do in China, But it enaed 1n the 1ssue of an imperial rescript absolu- tely prohibiting the prosecution of drift- mining under penalty of death, This edict is supposed to have been issued about a century ago before the discovery of America by Columbus. It _has never been strictly enforved. Min- ing has always beep prosecuted to some extent in Shan Si Yunnan and Honan, On the Yangste Kiang and its confluents,is the stream of Sze Chuen, and throughout Mgntchooria, gravel mining hus always been followed as a business by a portion of the people. Al- lusions to the mineral output of the empire are seattered through the works of Pumpelly, Davis, DeCarne, and oth- ers, More recent writers, such as Wil- liams and Von Richthofen, mention the fact that the precious metals are pro- duced, without entering into details. Still, the disappearance of gold and the absence of gold currency, show that the ediet, though not strict!y carried out, had the desired cffect of putiing a stop to mining as a regular industry. It is only within a few years that the Chinese gov- ernment resolved to reverse its policy in this respect. The frightful strais in which the empire found itself during the French war was satisfied its leading men that China could not hold its own in the family of nations unless it provided itself with a gold currency, It was resolved to reopen the mines, . Gold, lke coal, is found in every one of the nineteen provinces of China. But the largest and most accessible source of supply is to be tound in the range of hills which divides the loess prairie of North Central China from the ocean slopes. Those hills can be traced from the shore of the Gulf of Pectuli, 1n the province of Shan Tung, down into Quaug Tung. It is quite likely that they are mineral-bear- ing throughout. Mr. "Ellsworth told the Herald correspondent that Americans could form no idea of the quantity of old in China; there was far more there than here, . 1t is pretty dufficult to set a limit to the possible consequences of a general re- sumption of gold-mining in China. Un- less Mr, Ellsworth is much mistaken, China is richer in_goid than any other country known. ‘I'ne people have been washing gravel for gold for fifty cen- turies or more, but the veins are com- paratively virgin. And never did a nation need fuhl 50 badly as China does now, to pay for her tleet, her fortitica- tions, her ruilronds And telegraphs, and }he other improvewents which'she must have. If a few score mytaps in the foothills of Shantung, Kiang Su, Che Kiang, and Fo Kien should begin te output $40,000,000 or $50,000,000 of gold silver per year through Americad management and with the aid of American machinery the event could not but be followed by im- portant commercial and political conse- quences.

Of course the greater number of men, and women too, of this class, are employed by the operating department, and purticularly in the passenger line. Most of them come under the head ot ‘spotters,’ although they are sometimes spoken of ‘stuffers.” ~ By the regular employes of the line to whom their at- tention 18 chiefly devoted,they are known by another name. but as it wouldn't look well in print, I won't give it to you, “What are the duties of these people? Well, they are engaged in various ways. One man may be particularly bright in detecting the ‘knocking-down’ methods of dishonest train men, and be able to report the exact sum sequestered from the revenue of the company by a given man during a given period. *Others Jevelope an aptness tor dis- covering whether friends of the train- hunds are allowed to ride without paying are. ““Then there are those who are set to watch ticket-scalping operations, Not long ago there was & big list of these sharp-eyed individuals on the Soutnern Pacific company’s lines. and their labors resulted in the ejectment of many* per- sons from the trains of the con:}mny.um! the taking up of their scalped tickets. ‘This is not an easy task, as you may be- lieve, but one in which great shrewdness is essential. It is by no means a pleasant duty, either,and is one in which a sympa- thetic or compassionate man cannot very well engage. Besiles there are great risks and responsibilities, for in putting off a man whose ticket you suspect has been purchased from a scalper, you may eject & person who is periectly innocent of such an action. Scalpers like to put up jobs on spotters and train agents by leading them to belleve that tickets have been sold through their agency, when in reality they are perfectly straight, hav- been bought at the regular ticket In the case of an ejectment under ircunistances the spotter does not rensure for bungling, and as the company sometin has to settle damage suits on an expensiye busis, it behooves the spotter to exert the utmost caution, ‘“There is a cluss of spotters who are assigned to the rather uncertain business of detecting cut rates. eis a great deal of this sort of business going on now—I mean rate-cutting—and in order to et vroof of 1t the company sends out its spotters and stuffers on thestreets and on the road to inquire into the matter. A party of a dozen Portuguese was ticketed 10 Boston une day tlis week at heud. The rcgu?m‘ te is $64 tickets were sold at an ou > office having no connection with the Southern Pueilic, and the rate was, of course, a paofound secret, as the ticket-sellers did not wish to run afoul of the 1ntc commerce law, A spotter emplo; the compauny secured an intern went aboard the train and in a very short time afterward came back to (Elmrters with full information reg: the cut, and it has created a row among the pas ger agents that is stul very far from being quieted. “How are spotters paid? Well,as their services are of u transitory character, their remuneration is not very great, de- pending, as a rule, upon the value of the work to the company. It is therefore difficult to say what they do get. [ will tell you one thing, however—their names never appear on the pay roll, and the money used for the payment of their ser- vices is all drawn on general vouchel If it were otherwise, the syvmpathy b tween the hundred odd clerks who han- dle the vouchers and accounts and the rond men whom the spotters are set h would nullify the object of the system of secret railroad service. At least the department oflicials think it would, and for that reason the spotters remain name on the records of the railroad expenditure. An Important Element.
