The most of the afternoon was consumed in the examination of Prof. W. S. Robifson, a chomist of Omaha, introduced by the de fense, who is a vory able expert in arsenical poisoning cases. The defendants thomselves went on tho stand today and wero subjected to a very severe examination without shakiug their statements in the least, They aro ignorant German wirls and scarcely realize the enormity of the crime with which they are charged, and from thei childlike statcments it would seem fmpossi- ble for them to meditate such a crime as that of murder. Pulic sentiment is changing in their favor and it is generally believed tho verdict will bo acquittal. 1t is probablo that most of next week will be talken up with this case, Dodge County Teachers Meet. Freoxt, Neb., Nov. 21.—|Special Tele- gram to Tur Bee]—The Dodge County “enchers association held its regular quar terly session here today with a fair attend ance. Some intercsting papers were read. It was determined to erect a building on the Fremont Chautauqua grounds for the accom- modation of toachers attending the annual Chautauqua_ sessions and funds were sub. crived for that purposo. It was also re- solved to compote again this year for the ban- ner offered by the state association for the county having the largest attendance at the annual meeting to be held at Lincoln.

SAx Fraxcisco, Cala, Nov. 2. —An officer of the cruiser San Francisco, speaking of the onerations proceding tho capture of Valpa- raiso, said: *“Tne number of men engaged in the operations are variously stated at from 10,000 to 30,000 on each side, The truth is that the congressionalists had about 10,000 and Balmaceda twice that numoer, besides butween $,000 and 10,000 more within six or oight hour's call. On August 21, however, when the congressional forces were at Con- con, where tho Aconcagua river empties into th Balmaceda's gencrals, Alcercoca and Barbosa, opened the fight with only 6,500 men, the Santiago and Vaiparaiso divisions not buving arrived, “Ihis battle was fought, it was claimed, without instructions, as the president had ordered the troops to take up a position on the heights, of whicn the fortross Vina del Mar was the pivotal position, whereas the river Aconcagun was on much lower ground, without any natural advantages of position The taking of this position ulso ailowed the junta forces to sweep to the left of the Bal- mucodists and follow the coast line around the rango hills on which was Vina del Mar and uttack the government troops on their loft flank facing Valparaiso bay. Our ship and the Baltimore were both in tho soutnern portion of the b under the suns _of Fort Pratt reetly aticad of us was Valparaiso, while on our eft, across the bay, was the battletiald, with a range of hilis back of it. On August 22, otner government divisions had arrived und the teights from Fort Callao to Vina del Mar were occupied. The congressionalists’ squadron, consisting of the Cochanane, Hig- wins, and Aconcaeua, appeared off Concon av 7o'clock in the morning. Fort Callao fired the first shot and for several hours the com- bat was continued with scarcely any effect, “These operations lasted uutil about August 24, when the congressionalist’s cruisers, Es- merelda and Cochrane, ventured a _little further and attempted to shell Vina del Mar, We watched their operations aud could see everything very plainly. They fired a largo number of shells, but the fort was not struck once. The nearest one fell about fifty yards from the base of the parapet W ile the two vessels occupied an advanced position Fort Pratt, on_our right, fired sov cral shells over us ‘and av the two vessels. ‘Those maneuvers and Shortcontests woro kept up for several days. The congression- alist force graduatly crowded the government troops, so that the latter fell back to Pla- cilla, which was the key to Valparaiso. Here lyin Almost tho final contest took place, and here most of thg bloody scenes were enacted.” — -——— ABU. D THE PRISONERS. United States Conviers R 'moved from the Avkans s Prison. Lirrie Rock, Ark, Nov. 21.—Several weeks ago . federal prisoner named Abra- ham Davis, confined in the Arkansas peni- tentiary, complained to the federal authori ties that he had been unmercifully whipped und branded with a hot iron in the presence of the prison officers, and that such treat. ment to prisoners was of almost duily oceur- rence. ‘The United States attorney general at once directed District Attorney Watters of this city to investizate the case and report the facl The warden stated that he had orderea Davis whipped, but te did not know that he was federal prisoner. District Attorney Watters forwarded the testimony without recommendation and the matter was then settled until yesterday, when United States Marshal Spellman récoived peremp- tory orders from Attorney General Miller to remove at once all fed prisoners from the Avkausas penitentiary and convey them to the prison in Columbus, O.. because of the developments made in the recent examina- id that the above order created no littlo sensation in little 1tock only faintly ex- pressos the situation. At noon yesterday United States deputy marsbais and a guard of eleven men went, to the penitentinry ana detivered an_order commanding the authori- ties to turn over thirty-nine prisoners con- fined m the state prison. The order was obeyed and marshals left with the prisoners yesterday. To say - RS OF LIVE STOCK.

Gold Hill's Mines Are to Be Work Wizard Edison's Recent Discovery. d by ORES CAN BE TREATED FOR 81.50 A TON. Wyoming's Rich Gold Camp Wil Have Many Stamp Mills Running Be Spring. Sansrooa, Carbon county, Wyo., Nov. 20. [Special Correspondence of Tur Ber From present indications tho Gold Hill dis- trict will bave a large cumber of stamp m in successful operation before next spring. It is easier to enumerate the number of plants tnat will treat the ores of the district | than to count up the companies now organ- | ized and to be formed that wili add to and | swell the output from the quartz leads. If anything like the quantity of oro is taken out that s reck- oned on, every company that operates | at Gold Hill on a largo scale will be forced to | include machinery for treating its product in the estimate of expenscs necessary to insure profitablo operation. In other words, the owners of claims will be compelled to pro- vide theirown stamp mills, because the com pantes who are now erecting such works or ogotiating for them either have enough ore in sight to keep their stamps busy or can se cure a lavge enough output by the expendi- ture of a little money to do this. Whilo a big custom stamp mill wouid undoubtedly pay handsome dividends to any man or company that erected such works, tho inducements offered to capital by the miners, who are poor in every Wiy, except as to the number and richness of their claims, make it an_easy matter, at this time, to form alliances by which miliing men can organizo companics avd acquire a half intorest in enough property to keep thoir stamps going on their own ore, Luckily for the camp the miners were aole to hold on to their claims and by combining among them selves, they are in a position to group to- gether a suficient number of properties to make it of advautage to capitalists to pro vide, the requisite mactinery to treat the ores. “Phat such things are possiblo is not u mat- ter of mere conjecture. During the past week an incident occurred that indicate that new era has dawned at Gold Hitl, The time for purely speculative investments has passed. ‘The opportunities for a man or a company of men to slip into the district and et coutrol or tie up promising properties, by the paymert of a small amount of money, to told tuem against the time when they could sell out or unload at a profit has gono by. Representatives of a_company organized in the east, to operate at Gold Hill, will corrob- orate what I say in this connection. They can furnish indisputavle proof. from their own experience, that has been a bitter one, as to disappointments. These eastern men came out hore ostensibly to carry out a compact previously made with u number of mivers, who had bunched their claims, which they were to putup agaiost a considerablo amount of money us working capital. Everything went along smoothly fora while. A company was incorporated. ~ Both capitalists and miners were elated. Then the whole plan fell through, That was because the castern men were disappointed in finding that the oro went £20 to £30 in gold a ton 1mstead of 200 to #400 as they oxpected. They sougnt to modify their contract and to postpone for an indefinite neriod the purchase of a stamp miil for which they were negotiat- ing, No stamp mill" no claims was the ultimatum of 'the miners, Tho Eastern men hesitated too long. The miners broke up tue trade. The eastern outfit will have to make a deal with somebody else, for the miners don’t have to beg or entreat capi- tal now to take bold, "This is vastly different from what it was only a few months ago. Then almost any inducement was offered to whomsoever would put up the money to develop claims But enough development has been done to demonstrate that there 1s plenty of mineral- bearing ore in the camp that will pay a big profit to work on the ground. That'is why the promise or provision for a stamp mill isa pre-requisite to a coutract or compact be- tween claim owners and men with capital. But it must not be inferred from what I have said about bonanza hunters from the east and their failure to realize high exnecta tions as to the richness of ore, that there 1s0’t high grade ore in Gold Hill. There 13, and plenty of it. Anybody who has had any experienco in mining would not only be satisfied but en- thused over such a returu as that which di appointed the easterners. Gold miners from all over will tell you that $20 ore is o big thing if you can run it through a stamp mill. The profit, after paying tho expens of mining and_ milling, ought to rang anywnere from 815 up to$17 a'ton. With a California quartz mill of heavy stamps—cost- ing $5,000 to $7,000 at the outside—upwards of twenty to thirty tous of ore a day ought to be put through. = You can flgure the profit yourself and the lownst estimate wonld be 0,000 w mouth and _ranging from that up to $15,000 for thirty days. That ought to sat- isfy anybody. Now the miners have been convinced ana hardhoaded business men have seen for themselves that Gold Hill ore will pay when treated at or near the claim, There are no drawbucks about getting machinery into the camp for ten stamps and the boiler und other parts of an outfit were last week hauled into Gold Hill from the railroad over tne Saratoga road in three days. Never was there a camp with so many mill sites posses- sing great natural advantages. Timver and cordwood can be had for the cost of felling and cutting, right in the camp and almost within a stonie’s throw of where a mill is erected. These ure matters that enter largely into consideration on any proposition for the erection of u mill. Lf these do not entail large expense then a milling man is ready to go ahead anywhere that ore may be in sight to run his stamps. 1f all Gold Hill ores were high grade they would he shipped, perhaps, and raiiroad com- panies et a big share of tue profits. But by treating them right in the camp, not only keops the monoy at home but furnishes em- ployment to many men and increases the chances for paying big dividends, It will make of Gold Hill nov alone a place wnere mineral is produced, but an inaustrisl point of consequence. That is better for alt con- cerned. Itinsures a bright future for the Upper Platte valley, whare big crops of all kinds can be raised, and good fortune to saratoga, the metropolis aud commercial center of the valluy Reforring to the cost of working the free milling_ores that prevail, gencrally, in the Gold Hill camps proper,’ it may bo'wol. to cite the estimate that was made 1 Colouel S. W. Downey a few days ago in Liouver by an oficial of the Edison Electric company Thero was published in Tie Susoay Bee rocently an interview with Wizard Edison in which he declared that electricity would ere long como to be depended upon to work Kold mines and produce bullion from their ores, It seems that the agents of Edison are already casting about in this western mining territory on the lookout for some fleld in which to test the great electrician’s theories by puttiog them and some of his recent inventions into prac- tical use. Colonel Downey who, as is well known, practically has all'his mining inter- ests centered in the Gold Hill district, was among those 10 whom Edison’s new processes have been in part revealed, or so much of the workings explained as 10 excite bis interest and a desire to apply the principles in actual wining and miling operations. When Col onel Downey came to Saratoga vesterday on his way up to Gold Hill to look after his te stamp mill on Arastra luke, in the upper camp, 1 found him ‘ohock full” of enthusiasm over the Kdison processes, ‘The colonel told me that he was convinced that ore from the mines ho coutrolled at Gold Hill could be taken out und the mincral ex tracted at a cost not to excdod £1.50 a ton This is about halt what)s regarded as tho minimuw cost by the most economical meth- ods now in use. At such figures tho fortunes 10 bo made out of the profits in working our ores witl be sumply colossal Athough uo definite plans have been deter- mined upon ad no specific agreement yot en- tered iuto, Gold Hill bids fair to be thé scene of a practical demonstration of Edison's electrical mining discoveries What will serve to reduco the expense of such an electric systom at Gold Hill is the abundant, not to say marveloas, water power that can be utilized there.

By meaos of wirds' ‘and electrical conductors the power can be distributed to places some miles romote from there, Such an advantage caunot bo appreciated by ou who has nover tramped over the moviitains in the Medicine Bow range in whict Gold Hill is situated. I'he difficuities encountered in building roads over which supplies and machivery can be transported are not to be underestimated, It is a rough and rugged country in which these recent mineral finds were made Although numerous attemots wero mado by the Laramie people to build a road into Gold Hilland much labor and monoy was expended, the task was fruitless, There is no route from Laramie yet and no vossibility of one being provided this season. As for the road from Carvou, that doi’t smount to anything. The county spant a lot of mouey on it und citizens of the town ana the coun- try through which it runs contributed more to the fund. The road is a hard one to trevel, even on norseback., Saratoza has an excelient mountain road into Gold Hill and the only one that can be kept open this win ter. But it costa heap of monoy and the miners, saw mill men and others” who have to travel it have put in a great deal of time and labor on it. This tends to show the trouble and expense incident to opening com munication with the different localities wnore mining camps have been started or will be established. Should Edison’s project prove feasinle and power to run mining machinery, and stamp wlls be provided from' a central station, then there would be fewer or no necessities atall for buildiug wagon roads to innccessi ble camps or now ones. Machinery could be taken in on sleds in the winter cutting a way through the timber. T seasous ordinary supplies could be packed in, and trails ure casily and cheaply constructed. So if electricity is to be harnessed to the uses of the miner and milling man, there could be a great saving in time and expense, A case in point presents itsclf right now An old lake navigator who retired some years ago, Captain O. D. Thomas, came out to Gold Hill last spring, attracted by the stories of the rich mineral discoverics made there. He spent the scason in the district prospecting, and did something in the way of development of claims his prospectors and himself lo- cated, and of others that he bought. Captain Tho is one of the men who helped open up and demoustrate that the territory on Frouch crock, on the edge of the Gold Hill district, coutains valuable mineral deposits. He is now at bis home in Turner, 11L, and has just organized the I'rench Creek Mining and Milling com- pany, having interested capital for the de velopment of some of his promising silver and lead-bearing leads. Money is to be speut in working these properties. But the com- pauy will be handicapped by the lack of good roads or in fact roads of any kinu for a con- sidorable distance. If they conld utlize clectric power generated 1h onic of the prin- cipal camps of the district, what a saving could be wade! Readers of Tue BEr will remember that in the interview with Idison he expressed great regret tnat the gola fields of the south- orn states were so far removed from the scene of his laboratory aud experiments, at his New Jersey homo, so. he could test his new appliances. By proxy, though, he may be able to make the trial here in this noted Wyoming district. Should this hope be real- izéa and half what the Wizard claims for his process be accomplishea the bullion outgut of Gold Hul will border on the fabulous. In the meantime and untit the marvels of modern _scienco are exbibited at Gold Hill, preparations are making for the treatment of ores by the most upproved methods known in quart mining. Colonel Downey’s ten stamp mill would have started up this weck save for the failure to receive in season small but essential piaces of machinery. This una- voidable delay has been a serious disappoint- ment to the colonel, but more so to the min- ers and others directly interested in Gold Hill. Had it not been for this _a good clean-up was anticipated by the tirst of the vear. Oue may be mado then, after all, for Superintendent “Jack” Martin of the Downey miil thinks thatif ho hus good luck he can got the stamps ready to bagin dropping on or about December 1. Tuch dovends on the tirst clean-up on the ploneer mill av Gold Hill 1f it shows up well not ouly will claim owners be encour- aged to zo ahead with develonment, but av least half a dozen other mills will ve ordored instanter. To Colonel Downey, individually, it will mean much. Big or cven good results will enable him to com- mand monoyed interest and support in a proicet, the burden of which ho now shouldérs alone, Itis mo sceret thav men well known in the mining world have made promised aid conditional on the succass or failurs from an investment stand point of clean-up No. 1 on the Downoy mill. 1t has generaily been taiked of that Emile Gavmer, the French capitalist, who has speut over §400,0000 on a hvdraulic plant 1 the Atlantic winings district, in Wyoming, is among the number of those “doubting Thomases” whose financial assist, ance will be at Colonel Downey’s command 50 s0ou as he shows how Gold Hill ores will pan out. ‘he belief is general that ftho strings tied to all these offers will ve cut when the returns are made on the practical test of a thirty days’ mill run on the ore from claims in the Downey group. With larger capital at his disposal the colonel would be in a position to employ a big force of miners and open up hills that are confidently expected to turn out rich treasure bearers. Such a campaign inaugurated and the camp, aud in fact the whole district, would be lively. Ten stamps only are to bo started at the outset, but ten more are on hand that could be set up n a few auys. Twenty of them would increase the monthly bullion record very materially, and he!p ou't the score for 1892 for Gold Hill, ‘Tunnels are being driven at the rate of five feet a day on the Lake Side and Acme claims near Greonville, the lower cump in the dis trict. Each is now in over 125 feet, ana in either or both of them the leads may at any time be tapped. This done, and the work of taking out ore will be ively begun. It will be easy enough to secure a mill on the strength of such developmeut and tue oppor- tunities for keoping tho stamps profitably pounding away. One thing Gold Hill has neeaed is better mail facilit ‘With the introduction of capital from a distance, it is impevative that the representatives of companies or in- dividual investors in the camp should be in speedy and easy communication with their principals. A “daily mail to and from the camp would help things out mightily. The Wyoming delegation v congress has prom- 1564 to secure this if possible and the assur- ances are of such a character that daily ser vice can be reckoned on in the near future. Gronr F.

Loxnoy, Nov. 2L.—A dispatch from Teheran, the capital of Persia, states that tho mujutahid, or high priest of the shah seot, which is the predominant religious sect of the country, its followers numbering nearly 7,000,000, receatly fomented n reyolu- tion in Mazanderan, & province in Northern Persia. The government took prompt measures to suppress the rovolt, aud a body of-troops was dispatehed to restore order and to place the high priest under arrest. I'ne rebels were prepared, however, and made a determined resistanco against the shan's soldiers.

The tickets are extended three days beyona she limit and are sold at less than tho short line vates, Iu consequonce of this manipulation the Wabash has been losing busiuess on its Ni agara Falls Short line and threatens to meet the competition by an open reduction of rates. Chairman Finley has urgently re quested the Wabash to postpone that action He has addressed a lettor to the general pas senger agents of the northwestern lues, asking them not to houor auy more of the split tickets, Chairman Midgeley of the Western Freight association has been subpaenaed to appear before the federal grand jury at Omaha No vember 50 to tell what he knows about gross olations of the interstate commercelaw. It is said that this is to be practically a con- tinuation of the investigations recently bogun in Chicago, and that mero conclusive proofs consin of law breaking will bo produced than un that wore brought to light here. A form of manipulation that hus, it is said, been popu- lar with Omaba firms, is tho billing of freight to eastern and southern points via Kansas City. The rate to_such points is the same from Omaha and Kansas City. The allegation is that w car is loaded with, suy 000 pounds of salted meats at Omaha and Supposedly it reaches New York with the same load, but when it arrives there it contains 35,000 pounds of beef tongues and cured meats, Besides tho dif fercnce in weight, the car is filied with com- moditios taking o Wgher rate than salted weats. he shipment is tracod back, and it is found tnat the car hus been untoaded and reloaded at Kunsas City without any change being made 1 the billin Hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is claimed, have been netted by the iuterested firms by the practice of this schome, whic could not of course have been successfuily operated without the assistunce or conni- vauce of the railroad agents. Chairman Midgiey bas also recoivod a sum- mons to appear before the federal grand jury at Kansas City. He will, it is smd, try to avoid going to either place on the ‘ground that ho is under a physicians care and 15 not in condition to travel. Au_injunction has been Atenison road to compel it to carry out its contract with the Indiana, Ilinois & lowa road in reeard to divisions of the through rates. The lutter company had decided to postpone this action until after the return of Presigent Manvel and Vice President Springer from Denver, but it changed its mind on receiving formal notice from the Atchison that it had conciuded to adopt the basis of divisions ovdered by Chairman Walker and his fellow commissioners of the Western Iraflic association. billed to New York served on the A CAR FAMINE THREATENE Nebraska Railroads Have Trouble in Handling the Immense Crop: The shortage of cars at all points in the state is growing to be a very serious question with shippers and particularly so with the farmors i tho western part’ of the stato, where there was no old grain left from last year on which the farmers could realize cenough money to carry them over the rush for market. These people now have their grain ready to ship and_are moving heaven aud earts in ovder to seli the result of thoir labors and obtain money to pay off mortgages and other debts. The demand for cars is most pressing from this section, but thero is a strong demand from all parts of the state. All the roads are short more or less and from threo to ten days are required to fill orders for cars. Some of the hnes atlowed their cars to go off their rouds early in the scason sud are unable to get them back. The Missouri Pacific, for in- stance, allowed about 630 cars to 0 10 south- orn points and the roads thero refuse to ro- turn them until aftor the colton scason is over. The Missouri Pacific was short 1,200 cars north of Kansas City vesterday and has been short about 500 cars every past two weeks. The Burlingfon issued orders the first of the weed to refuse all shipments of grain to Chicago and no shipments have been taken since Tuesday. Yesterday an order was issued to resume Chicago shipments. This rond has 2,000 cars on the track in Chicago loaded with whoat. General Freight Agent Crosby states that this stato of affairs is caused by tho fact that the whoat grades a shade below No. 2, and cousequently the clevators rate it No. 8 and pay only the lait prico for it. The owners then seil the g “by sample” in order to realizo a bettor price on'it, and this delays the unioading several days. In consequence the yards bocome blocked and the roatl is short of cars. The Burlington is short about 300 ca overy day, on orders. The Unlon Pacific is having very little troublo because it refuses, point blunk, to allow acarto go off the roads. Shipments consigned to other roads are loaded in the cars of that road. This has a_tendoncy to force a great deal of grain into Omaha, Coun- cil Bluffs, Kausas City & St. Joo, where it is unlonded ‘and passed through the elevators. The Northwestern road roports very little dificulty in handiing ail that comes. ghting the Union Pacific, The action of ex-President Moffat of the Denver & Rio Grande, in diverting to the Union Pacific the immense ore shipments from the mines in whicn he is interested, has struck a blow that falls heavily on the Atchi- son road which connects with the Rio Grande and it seoms President Manvel's trip to Den- ver was for the purpose of looking into the situation and ascertaining whethor anything could be done to recover thoe lost traftic. Advices from there are to tho offcct tuat the quarrel can hardly bo settled ex- cept by war. Strong cfforts will be made, hawever, by parties interested in the success of the Westorn Trafio association to prevent adisturbance, To this end, it is said, the question of forming a trafiic pool liko the one now in force at southwestern Missouri river points will again be agitated. Such a division of business would 1o doubt ve satis factory to all the roads except the Uniou Pacific, but the latter would only go into it under condition that it were allowed the lion’s share of the traffic ana it is doubtful if any agreement could be reached as to per- centages. Chairman Finley has preferred charges against the Chicago, St. Paul & Kansas City rond, alleging rate cutting in securing the Minneapolls dclegation on its trip to Wash- iugton to secure the republican natioual con- vention for Minneapolis.

Bostoy, Mas: 21.—John Stetson, baulker, broker aud theatrical manager, 1oday paid to Mrs. Anna B. Everctt £10,000 and thus settled one of the most remarkable cases tricd before a Massachusetts court. Everett claimed that Mr. Stetson was the proprictor of a swell gambling club, known as the Carleton, on Hamiiton Place. Ou the night of November 21, 153, Mr. Jonathan Bourne, jr., of New Bedford, son of the late millionaire will owner, bucked the tiger at the Carleton club and lost §25,000 in one sitting. He was drunk at the time and vlayed recklessly. He gave his notes to cover the losses and then kicked about pay- ing them.

The case was vliced on the docket for a new trial Then Everett’s wife went to his rescue in anovol way. Thero is an old law in Mussa- chusetts which gives to any person the right to sue for mwoney lost af gaming by any othor person, provided the loser does not bring suit withiu three months. In case of recovery the plaintifl is to receive three times ‘tho amount lost. Mrs. Everett learned of this law and she immedately sued Mr. Stetson to recover £1,000, which i3 three times the amount which 'Mr. Bourne lost at gaming, including interest. Mr. Bourne was not'a party to this suit. He would have given that sum to have kept the matter quiet, but Mrs. Everelt haa a two fold object in View, und would not abandon ber caso. Mr. Bourno thoreupon departed for Ogdcn aud is there now. The case was brought iuto the court and Mrs, Everett was in danger of iosing it on her original declaration: but she discovered more ovidence, which, it is alleged, proved conclusively that Stetson was the propriotor of the olub, and also that Mr. Bourne lost at gambling the sum named. There was 8 long legal wrangle over this amendment, and a few days ago permission was grantéd _ner to amend her original declaration. The defendant evidently did not care to have that new ovidence go before the court and yesteraay heoffered Lo compro- mise, Mrs. Kvorett refused to listen to any talk f & compromise until the criminal case against hor husoana was withdrawn.
