The present state of lawlessness
in Cochise county. is somothing mos
deplorable. It reminds ono forcibly
of tho Kansas border troubles of
twenty years ago. Law-abiding-citizens
ask one another where the mat
ter is going to end? All agree in
one thing, and that is that law and
order must bo maintained. Tho
event of yesterday, notwithstanding it
cost tho life of ono good man, is a
step that reflects great credit upon
Messrs. Harley and Breakenridgo and
the special deputies who took part
therein, and tho opinion has been
very freely expressed by our best citi
zens, that had the same heroic meas
ures been adopted one year ago by
the sheriff, the present deplorable
state of affairs could not now have
existed. Mr. Harley believes that
he is how on the right track to com
pletely unravel the mystery of tho
Peel assassination, and he is follow
ing up tho slender threads in his pos
session with a determination to get
at the bottom of tho affair and bring
the guilty ones to a deserved pun
ishment. It is to bo hoped that tho
beginning of the end has at last been
readied. Upon one point all will
agree, and that is that life and prop
erty must bo mado as secure in Co
chise county as in any other part of
tho territory, even if tho last bad man
has to travel tho road that Hunt and
Grounds wero made to go yesterday.
The value of metropolitan jour
nals is somothing marvelous. Tho
New York Sun is represented by
350 shares of stock of which one
share was sold the other day for
4,100. This puts tho valuo of the
whole $1,400,035 not a bad esti
mate for a small daily paper. But
this sum docs not represent tho
value. This single share was not
hid up to tho real value. Tho actual
price of tho Sun stock is $5,000 per
share, which brings tho valuo of the
entiro interest up to 81,750,500. Five
thousand dollars per share is Ave
times more than par value, which is
8 1,000 per share. For yoars tho
Sun has pad five per cent dividends
on tho stock; so that one share
brings to the holder 8500 per year.
At this rate of interest, $5,000 per
sharo is not a high price. Mr. Chas.
Dana's income from salary and inter
est on stocks is said to bo 875,000
peryear, and Mr. England's, the pub
lisher, is quite large.
Can any one explain tho lack of
cordiality in the Nugget as regards
our govenor? It surely cannot be
on account of anything he has dono
since he was installed in olliec, unless
it be because ho has expressed a
firm determination to put down
tho lawless element infesting tins
country, in which event the Nugget
might lose some warm 'supporters.
According to tho Bodie Free
Press of March 25, a most important
development has been made, in the
Noonday mines, at a depth of 612
foot. Thoro is a 4-foot vein of rich
ore at a depth of 61)8 feet which av
erages 73.19, and at 712 feet tho
average is $92.30. Tho Press says:
" tho general expression of opinion
among visitors is to tho effect that
the development, considering its
depth and position at the south end
of the. camp, is the most important
that has been mado for a long time."
Tub San Juan Herald reports that
a rich discovery of tin has been found
in the " Gnome " lode, situated in
the American basin, on the Lake
fork of tho Gunnison and Hinsdale
county, just beyond tho San Juan
county line. A poor prospector
named James Dooy commenced work
on tho mino in 1874. Tho oro is of
two kinds leaf tin, and English or
silver tin, carrying also 50 ounces of
silver ana fivo ounces of gold. The
vein is 12 feet wide, and shows on
the surfaco for 1500 feet. Tho oro
is pronounced by experts in Denver,
Pueblo and Washington tho richest
tin oi e ever discovered in this
country.
On this bright, spring day we vio
late no confidence in saying it will
not be a difficult matter to "down"'
Bchau and Woods or their pi oxics
in tho noxt campaign. Pasto this in
your hat.

It is a settled fact that Denver,
Colorado, is to have a mining expo
sition to open on the first of August.
Tho cost of the main building will
bo $150,000, with other improve
ments estimated at 50,000. Tho
general plan of the building closely
resembles the now National Museum
at Washington, D. C, and the por
tion to bo completed and occupied
this year will bo a cruciform, with a
frontage of 500 feet and a depth of
312 feot. These measuioments will
convoy an approximate idea of tho
extent and importance attached to
the exposition. Arizona ought to bo
largely represented at this mineralo
gic.il show, and particularly Cochise
county. It will, no doubt, have an
effect similar to the late cotton ex
position at Atlanta, Georgia, and will
dravv thousands of capitalists from
all parts of the United States to wit
ness the rare collection of minerals,
improved machinery, and methods of
treatment of ores there on exhibition,
in which event the mining industry
will be greatly stimulated by tho in
fusion of now capital.
It is generally conceded by those
best informed in relation to tho mines
throughout Cochiso county that wo
have as yet only just begun tho work
ofdovelopment. Out of thousands of
promising locations and prospects
there are but about :i dozen produc
ing mines, where there ought to be a
hundred or more, allowing for tho
usual ratio of barren ledges. These
are Grand Central, Contention,
Head Center, Girard, Good Enough,
Tough Nut, West Side, Ingersoll,
Stonewall, Old Guard, Vizina and
Copper Queen. Tn this list wo have
only included those mines that are
largo and regular bullion or ore
producers. There are scores of other
mines in and around Tombstone and
Bisbee, to say nothing of the Hua
chucas, Swisshelms, Chiricahuas, Dos
Cabezas, Winchester, Yellowstone,
Cochise, Dragoons and Turquois that
might he put upon a paying basis at
an early day, wero they worked in a
systematto manner like thoso first
named. It is this class of mines that
would bo greatly benefitted by a rep
resentation at the Denver exposition,
and stops should be taken among tho
mine owners to have them repre
sented. The mino owners are not the only
ones that would he benefitted by
such a movement. Every merchant
and mechanic, all professional men
and laborers would equally feel tho
stimulation wrought by tho infusion
of new life and more capital into
mining enterprises. The stockraiser
and ranchman would bo equally ben
efitted with tho balance. If tho pro
ductive mines in Tombstone are to
day sufficient to suppotta population
of six thousand people, as many
more would double tho population
and make tho valuo ef property cor
lespondingly greater. These are in
controvertible facts, and facts that
should aronso our business men to
early action on this subject. A moot
ing should be called by our most
prominent men to consider this" sub
ject and take steps for a concert of
action so that a creditable exhibit
mav be mado.
A man named Peter Dolaml killed n
young German unmeel Peter Smith, with a
poker, in Cochise county on the 21st inst ,
and so our neighbor keeps ahead of us.
(JovEiisoii Trltlo w as last night tendered
a grant! reception by the cituens of Tomb
stoue. '1 he affair took place at tho comt
house. All the principal cilicns partici
pated, nn.l thus Tombstone has got nltfud
of us again.
The above grouping of items occurred
in the same order in the Arizona (Tucson)
Daily Star of jesterday. The flrbt, pie.
sumably a fact, is a matter that no good
citizen of this county orterritoiy need care
to bu considered "ahead of," hut the second
is an event that the people of Tombstone
and vicinity may Justly feel a manly pride
in, and more especially as the reception of
a live governor has never bctorc fallen to
our lot. Tucson, usually ahead in affairs
of this kind, has evidently lost its grip or
is taking a long rest. Perhaps tho selec
tion of Mr. Tritlo as governor was not to
Tucson's liking. 'Who knows!
Ketuhucans rally. There will bo n
meeting of the Tombstone Republican
club at the district court room at 7:30
o'clock this evening, for tho purpose of
perfecting the organization. All members
ore requested to be present, "Ucpublicans
who have not vet sigued the roll should
come forward and do so at once.

Of Deeds that are Dark and t'l lines
that are Foul.
Early this morning; a report was circu
lated upon tho f-t reels that a man had been
killed at Soldiers' "Holes, in Sulphur
Spring valley, last night. But little heed
was paid to it, as no person could be found
who would father the report as a fiet.
About 11 o'clock, however, ati Epitaph to
portcr met a gentleman of well known re.
liability and integrity, who iu formed him
hat lie had seen a man lrom Soldiers'
Holes who s lid that a man had really been
killed there during the night, in a druuken
ow. These were all the particulars that
could bo learned. The man's name who
brought iu the icport was not obtained,
therefore there was no clue to follow tho
nan up and get at the facts of the case.
ANOTIIElt ONE.
Later, Mr. W. B. Williams met u man on
1 orseback who had just come in Horn
fcycamoie springs, who told him that a
I ody had been found near the spiings, or
between there and South Pass. .Mr. Wil
liams asked fr the particulars and was
answered that full paiticulars would soon
be here with the holy. If there, is any
truth in citlfer one or both of these re
ports It may bo learned betore the Epi
T.pn goes to press, in which eventthe par
ticulars will bo given.
Later. Mr. Walker, superintendent of
the Svcamore Spring Watct company, saw
parties who came in ft om the spiiugsthis
morning and they contiaUlcted the report.
This fortunately settles one rumor, and
now if some one would come along and
authoritatively contradict and settle the
one from Soldiers' Holes the community
would be most heartily thankful.

An OldMnn Murdered near St. Davids.
After the EriTAPH went to press last
evening, word was brought from Conten
tion of the murder of an old man vVho
lived across tho San Pedro, opposite St.
Davids, the Moimon settlcmentAttoout six
or seven miles below Contention. The
name of the man was McMenomy. Ho
owned a sheep ranch, upon which he was
living alouo at the time of his death. He
was shot through the head and must have
died instantly. It w.ts supposed that he
had money, and robbery was the probable
cause of the damnable deed. Justice
Smith, of Benson, was notllled of the
murder and pioceedcd to the spot to hold
an inquest, the result of which has not
been learned.

that a man, whose name is unknown to rnc
at the time, was dead at a lallroad camp
on the Babncnninrl creek, and it was sup

We, fhe undersigned coroner's jury cm

Siiiiisclcrs or Cnnuoj'M, Which ?
A gentleman who came in across the
Sulphur Spring Valley from the Swiss
he'.m mountains esterdaj, saw two squads
of men driving a band of about fifty head
of cattle each, at a ver) tapid rate. They
were making acioa the south cud of the
valley toward the Swisshelms, having the
appearance of ht ing come from the upper
San Pedro or lu that diiection. He count
ed seven men w ith one baud, but mado no
count of those driving the Eecond. He
was at such a distance that he could not
tell whither they wcte Americans or Mex
icans, and what excited his suspicions
was the upid late at which the stock were
being driven. It is more than probable
that the cattle had been smuggled across
the border at the south end of the San
Jose mountains between San Pcdtoand
Fronteras, and the parties wero making
for tho tiicndly Chiricahuas, within whose
deep cunvons they could hide In case
of purult. It is said to be a well known
tact that most of the beef consumed it
San Cailos comes fiom Mexico, duty free,
and is sold to tho contractor at a cones
pondingly reduced price. But a small frac
tion of the cattle driven from Mexico ever t e
ports to the customs officers on the border
and pajs Uncle Sain the duty exacted on
imported stock. This is more the fault of
the government than the people, for the
reason tliu customs oflleers are stationed at
Ions distances apatt and nt inconvenient
distances from the line, as at Charleston
for instance, which is twenty-five mi'es
fiom the line. Our Solons tit Washington
are guilty at times of "saving at the spigot
and wasting at tho Lung," our SoDtira bor
der being one of the cases in point.
Drr.iNO the fight at Jack Chandler's

shade of a tree." If he had depended upon
thefiiendly shade of an Arizona tree, lie

A TEMPKitANCE lecture-was deliveted at

How Ulllrftpio AVnH Killed.
Coroner Matthews' jury, empaneled V
ascertain the cause of tho ilealh of John
Gillespie," met at 11:23 this morning.
a. i.r.wis
testified at. follows:, I reside at Chandlei's
ranch; am a trader by occupation ; was at
tho ranch on the morning of March 29;
they call it nine miles from Tombstone, in
an easterly direction. After waking up I
heard the boys tell solno one that they
would not have breakfast for some time
and to go to tho other house. I asked w ho
was out there, the answer was Jack Allen;
some one in the house asked me if I knew
w ho it w as, I told them I did not. At that
time some one outside called me by name;
I aski;d who It was and they replied
"Com? out, I want to see you." I got up
and went to the cast door and found a man
thero With u gun in Ids hand; asked him
who I19 was and who was calling me; bo
said, who are you, what's your name ?"
I told him, and he said, "Well, jou go
around there," motioning around the cor
ner. As I passed 'round, B'cakeniidge
said, "You know mo now !" I said I did
At that time the firing commenced at tho
east door, wheic I had gone out. I step
ped behind one of the trees, BreAenridge
was behind another. Some one opened
the weit door and shot out of there; Break
enridgo filed into the door and I heard
something fall; 111 tho meantime a mau,
who I found was Allen, ran from the
house and'fell down in tho arroyo, some
two rods above the trees; some one fired
close at me and I took down the arrojo.
I am not acquainted with Gillkpie, but I
thiiik'itwaTlid who'-etood attliedoor
when I went out. We all got in the lower
house and they wanted some one to tome
to town; I came. The parties in the house
that night were Billy Grounds, Hunt, Elli
ott, Caldwell and myself; Grounds and
Hunt were not in the habit of staying
there; I neter saw them theie befoie; hac
been there off and on since last fall. 1
know nothing personally of tho killing of
Gillespie; I did not fceo it; do not know
who commenced the shooting; did not sec
him until after 1 came from town. When
Grounds and Hunt eime to the ranch they
told me that they had botnc business with
.Mr. Elliott; he was not theie and they
concluded to go to Soldieis' Holes. After
caiingthoy started out and returned eirly
Tuesday morning, rem lining the remain
der of the dry and the following night;
they were watchful while they were theie;
w cut out a couple of times w ith a field glass ;
from the con vers itlon I suppose they
thought the officers might ride on them at
any time; iieaid them ttlk about writs
being out for them. Hunt said he would
"just as soon see his grave as the inside of
Yuma iui?on." They said for certain
chaigesthey would surrender themsehes,
but for olheis they would not, as they were
not guilty They had come up the San
Pedro a few days picvloux, did not men
tion ha ing bi en at Charleston on their way
up. 1 could not ee the men Gioundn and
Hunt at the time the shooting commenced,
as it wa dark, but they weie up As I
went out one of them, I ihiuk it was Billy
Gio'ind", aid, "If they ask jou tell them
we aie not in hue." I think Grounds
took the wc-t dom and Hunt the cast;
Grounds was shot at the west door, and
Hunt must hae been at the other where
Gillespie was killed, I suppose it was
Hunt uho killed him.
A lecess'was taken for half an hour.
JOHN It. LLLIOTT
asswoiu and said: I live at Chandler's
ranch; dairyman 'by occupation. I was
in the house at the time of the sliooting;
started to follow Lewis out of the cast
door, but as a man was standing one side of
the door with a guu which cocied me, I
backed fiom him and went out the west
door and got behind a tiee, and at that
time the shooting commenced. Tho firing
lasted about four minutes ; they fired on my
side ol tho houc and I fell flat on the
ground. Grounds and Hunt ci'tne to the
ranch Tuesday morning when I saw them
first; Hunt when he came asked mo to
take a message to town for him; he sent a
note which I delivered to Chandler; Hunt
seemed anxious tint Chandler should come
out. Grounds and Hunt were watchful
and ecited, us though they appiehcndcd
something, hut beatd them sav nothing.
Gi omuls afte. being shot was found in the
west door on his back; Hunt was found
some fite hundrid jaids fiom the house.
It was nearly an hour before we found the
body of Gillopie. Hunt was close to the
east door when I left the house.
The case was then laid oter until to

Silk ns Itullet 1'iooC.
All interesting feature disclosed in the
post mortem examination to-day of
Billy Grounds, was tho finding of a buck
shot partly imbedded in several thick folds
of a silk handketchief which the deceased
wore at the time Ire was shot, around his
neck. The other shots were sent with such
force that they penetrated the skull yet
this did not p-iss through a thick poi lion
of the silk handkerchief. Dr. Goodfe-llow,
who made the cxamin itioii, states that in
a previous instance a man was shot in the
breast through a pocket containing a silk
handkerchief, and bullet did not pass
through the handkciehief but carried it
into the body. A silken armor may be the
next inenlion.
The case of Pete Spenco was called
before Judge Wallaco this morning, and
Dr. Goodfel ow testified as to the n.ttuie of
the wound by which More in Earp was
killed.

From 11111 Nc' Boomernn;:.
It has been stated, verv truly, too,
that the law of the napkin is but
vaguely understood. It may be said,
however, on the start, that custom
and gootl breeding have uttered the
decree that it is in poor taste to put
the napkin in the pocket and carry it
away.
The rule of etiquette is becoming
more and more thoroughly establish
ed th.it.the napkin should be left at
the house of the host and hostess af
ter dinner.
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion also, upon tho matter of fold
ing tho napkin after dinner, and
whether it should be so disposed
of, or negligently thrown into.
the gravy b at. If, however,
it can be folded easily, and without
attracting too much attention and

be easily found by tho hostess, and
returned to her neighbor from whom
she borrowed it for the occasion. If,
however, if tho lady of the house is

At tho court of Eugenie, the cus
toms of the table were very rigid,
and the most prominent guest of II
H. II. was liable to get the G. B. if
he spread his napkin on his lap and
cut his egg in two with a carving
knife. The custom was that the
napkin should be hung on one knee,
itiid the egg busted at the big end
and scooped out with a spoon.
A prominent Anieiic.111 at her ta

ment shatfercd the shell of a soft
boilded egg with his knife, ami
while prv ing it apart both thumbs
were enoncously jammed into the
true inwardness of tho fruit with so
much momentum that the juice took
him in the eye, thus blinding him
and maddening him to such a degree
that he got up and threw the rem
nants into the bosom of the hired
man plenipotentiary, who stood near
the table, scratching his ear with .1
tray. As may readily be supposed,
there w.u a painful interim, during
which it was hard to tell for five or
six minutes whether the prominent
American or tho hired man would
come out on top, but at last the
American with the egg in his eye
got the car of the hign priced hired
man in among his back teeth, and
the honor of our beloved flag was
vindicated.

On a ledge running nearly parallel

Mr G. W. Sharp reports the find
ing of a copper vein, three feet wide,
of good ore, near the Gila river,
about fifty miles from Globe. Also

prospected.
The repot t which gained currency
on tho streets a day or two since that
a large amount of specie had been
received through W. F. & Co.'s Ex

grew out of the fact tliat the boxes
came heavily filled with iron castings
for the O. D. Co.'s works.
The Centennial mine is taking out
15 or 20 tons of ore a day which as
says from $75 to $500. Mr. George
Beamish is now in charge of the
mine, has had experience, is a prac
tical miner, aud says the mine is one
of the richest in the district. We
may look for developments in this
property which will astonish the
doubters.
A man by the name ot Cornell
was killed about 40 miles above baf
ford, on the Gila, on Friday night of
last week. He was aroused from
sleep by the barking of his dogs, and
with his man servant went out to the
corral, when they were fired upon
and Cornell instantly killed, his com
panion escaping unhurt. During the
day Indian tracks were found near
by, and it is supposed tho murder
was committed by them. The ma
rauders took five horses, but left
three along the road, which were
claimed by Mexicans.

Jlouaeliold Marrlnec
From the Philadelphia Picas.
By the terms of a family compact,
tnudo at Frankfort iu 183G, sons of
the Itothchilds were never to marry
outside the narrow circlo of consan
guinity. Leopold, the son of Lionel,
was tho first to depart from the com
pact, but ho married as much money
as he possessed, the Perugias being
to 1 neste and the riast what Koth-
childs are to western Europe. Mar
riages in the Rothchild family are
stately in ceremonial, and arc the
subject of as mn'cli talk as royal
matches. Intermarriages with very
near relatives is a recognized He
brew custom, and even before the
compact of Frankfort, was an al
most invarianie practice among
these millionaire kinsmen. An-
selm, the firt head of the Frankfort
house, married his niece, the eldest
daughter of Kathan. James, the
head of ths Paris house, married his
brother Solomon's daughtci. Nathan,
however, married outside tho family,
but he married more millions than he
had then made. His astonishing
success in London had excited the
fear and astonishment of his com
patriot, Levi Cohen, one of the then
potentates of the Exchange. Cohen
suggested a union of the two fam
ilies, but after the marriage became
alarmed at tho apparent desperate
ventures of his son-in law. He pro
tested with the arch-speculator, but
received for his pains the character
istic taunt: '-You have given me
but one of your datighers; it would
have been a good stroke of business
to have given me them all, for they
would have died a great deal richer
than they ever will be." He was a
miser to the last, and lived like a
successful retail grocer.

Tho Diamond is a Lcipsic journal
devoted to glass matters, and from
that vvi- clip the following bit of in-formation:
Place your tumbler, ehimnevs. or
vessels which you desire to keep" from
cracking in a pot filled with cold
wvter and a little cooking salt; allow
the mixture to boil ovei a fire and
then cool slowly. Glass treated in
this way is said not to crack, even if
exposed to very sudden changes of
temperature. Chimneys become
very durable by this process, which
may also be extended to crockery,
stone ware, porcelain, etc. The pro
cess is simply one of annealing, and
the slower the process, especially
the cooling portion of it, the more
effective will be the work."

Steamer Ilurned Loss otjJJvea.
MEJirms, March 30. The Cincin
nati and New Orleans packet Golden.
City, en route from New Orleans to
Cincinnati, was burned at the wharf
this morning at 4:30 o'clock. Be
tween 30 and 50 lives were lost, prin
cipally women.and children.
Later. The steamer Golden City,
of the Southern Transportation com
pany, when approaching tho wharf
this morning at half-past four o'clock,
was discovered to be. on fire by see
o'id engineer Orrin Kelly, who im
mediately notified Capt. Purcell and
the pilot on watch. The boat was
headed for the shore and four min
utes afterwatds she touched the
wharf at the foot of Beale street,
where the coal fleet was moored.
A line was hastily thrown and made
fast to ono of the coal barges. The
current being swift it soon parted,
and the burning steamer floated on
down the river a mass of flames with
many of the passengers and crew
aboard, who were unable to reach the
shore and were lost. The Golden
City left New Orleans Saturday, en
route for Cincinnati, and carried a
crew of about sixty hands and about
forty cabin passengers, fifteen of
whom were ladies, and nine.children.
Her cargo consisted of 300 tons,
among which was a lot of jute, in
which it is supposed the fire origin
ated. Among those known to be
lost are, Dr. Monahan and wife, of
Jackson, Ohio; Mrs. Crarv and Miss
Luella Crary, of Cincinnati; W. II.
Shernes, wife and two children, Oli
ver Wood and "wife, of Henderson,
Ky.; Mrs. Anna Smith, Mass.; Miss
Campbell, Mrs. Helen Percival, and
Mrs. L. E. Kouutzer .and three chil
dren. Her books being lost, it is im
possible to give .1 complete list.

The second engineer gave the
alarmfand remained at his post until
cutoff by the flames, which sptead
like lightning, sacrificing his life to
save others. Neatly all the cabin
passengers and deck crew of the
steamer were saved, Stowe's circus
was taken aboard at Vidalia, La.,
and six cargoes of animals and birds,
together with tho ticket and band
wagon, tents and horses were lost.
Marion Purcell was in the clerk's of
fice when the alarm was sounded aud
he rushed through the cabin, bursting
state-room doors' awakening tho pas
sengers. So rapidly did the flames
spread that within five minutes after
discovering the fire, which broke out
amid ships, the after part of the
steamer was all ablaze. Those that
were saved had to (lee in their night
clothes. When tho burning steamer
touched the wharf the fire communi
cated to tho coal fleet and tho tug
Oriole, wh'ch were also burned.
As nei.r as can be ascertained
twenty three ladies were aboard, but
two of whom, o far as known, were
rescued. It is estimated that thirty
five lives are lost by the disaster.
