Geographers say that the river had been vaguely spoken of by Indians to former ex plorers, and Stoney, belne compelled to await me return trip 01 tne lorwin, determined to see If there was anything In it. Accompanied by one attendant and Interpreter, he pro ceeded inland from Hot Basin Inlet In southeasterly direction and struck what he believed to be the mysterious river. He traced it to Its mouth, a distance ol 100 miles, where he saw such immense nieces of float nr? timber as to satisfy him that the stream must be of prodigious length. The Indians told him they came down it 1500 miles to meet fur traders, and that the river went up hicher man mat. ine inuians stated tnat in some places it was 20 miles wide. It is within the arctic circle, but in August, when Stoney was there, he found flowers and vegetables not hitherto discovered in hich latitudes.

From Information received, the city police had reason to believe that the men who were implicated in many of Ihe burglaries lately committed in this city would be found at a Mexican den across the San Pedro, and Mar shal Shardein decided to raid it. At 10 o'clock last night the raid was effected, and the following ate the names of those arrested Jose Maria Hernandez, Pablo Cervantes, An tonlo Vaiquez, Refugio Vasquez and San tiago Vasquez.

Mose Craigston Was Engaged to be Mar ried To-morrow to a Pretty Mulatto Named Rosa Lee. Hut Ineleu.l ot (letting; Martini He Sul- cldee Ami Now Mrs In the Silent drive. Last night a very strange rumor went around e city and on inquiry the Lkhit representa tive found that It was too true. The victim of the suicidal mania was Mose Craigston, a mulatto, aged 22 years, who woiked at the Revolving Light saloon. Mose was ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED to a pretty young mulatto girt named Rosa Lee, and they had arranged to be married to morrow. On Monday Mose saw the girl's parents and got their content to the wedding. He then aiked if they could slay at the btide elect parents' house for a few days after the marriage, but permission was refused. He joked and laughed with his sweetheart, but the refusal seemed to trouble him. Last night he called upon his mother, Mrs. Slcagall, and they had some words, during which Mose got very excited and said, "Mamma you'll be sorry for this." He then left the house; sub sequently he was seen by Officer Wilklns on West Commerce street In distress, and then said he would fix himself. A little while after wards he went to the brown juu saloon, on West Commerce street, and seemed then to be sober and In good spirits. He leaned over the bar, and seeing a pistol he asked Henry Whartonby if he would trade the pistol for the ring he then wore. Whar tonby was willing to do so, and handed him the pistol, at Ihe same time telling him to be careful how he handled It, as it was loaded. Mose remarked t "I know how to handle a pistol," and Whartonby went on with his work, while Mose examined the pistol. Soon after Mose cocked the pistol and was seen by B. Cohen to place it near his head. He then FULLED THE TRIGGER and fell. He never spoke after, and death was almost Instantaneous. Justice Adam was notified of tbe death, and, after hearing evi dence in accordance with the facts recorded here, the inquest jury declared that the de ceased died by a shot from a pistol held and fired by his own hands, with suicidal Intent, The suicide was unexpected and can scarcely be accounted for by any other reason than the deceased was temporarily Insane, FORGERY. Jtoliert Hulpert Is Arrested for it Thirty Thouennd Dollar Forgery. Messrs. Kidder, Peabody & Co., bankers of Boston, a few days since notified their cor respondents, Messrs. F. Groos & Co., bank ers of this city, that on the 27th day of Sep tember last some persons had defrauded them of $30,000 by means of a forged check, in the name of Dewey, and sect a description of the individual wanted for the offense. On Mon day Mr. Robert Hulpert called at Groos' bank In search of M exlcan money, and as his de scription tallied with that of the forger, the bankers sent for Detective Hughes and he was arrested, but when It was found who the man was, that he had resided here for two years, and bore a good reputation, he was re leased. Messrs. Kidder, Peabody & Co, were advised as to what had been dene, when when they immediately instructed that the man be arrested at all hazards, as he was the forger, and offered to Indemnify tbe bank from any damages that might be Incurred by reason of the arrest. Mr. Hulpert was there fore rearrested yesterday and Is now in jail, air. Hulpert is well known In this city and at one time In conjunction with Mr. Laux owned the Jewel saloon. He claims that he is inno cent and can prove that he was in the city when the crime was committed. He there fore petitions for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ of habeas corpus has been Issued and is returnable to-day, but It is doubtful whether the case will be tried, as the Con nolly case still blocks the way. In the mean time bail in $10,000 Is allowed for the prii oner. The case is very complicated. The prosecution claim that there Is a strong case against the accused, but the citizens declared that Hulpert was in the city when the crlm Is said to have been committed. The Lutherfcit at New llraunfels, Mr. Albert Marion, G. Lffbrecht and John Sippel, of New Braunfcls, paid the Light office a visit this morning.
