A NEW INDUSTRY. Pittaborg People Incorporate for the Pur-po- se or starting a Lampblack Factory. Among: other projected enterprises to which the tapping of the gas belt has given birth to, is that of a lampblack factory, articles for the same having already been signed, the same to be filed with the secretary of the territory. Pittsburg capital which is al-ready largely interested in the industry in its native state, have for some time been Inquiring into the foundation fr an enterprise of this character and after a number of experiments have satisfied themselves that there are ample resources here for a plant that will supply all of that country extending from Denver to the Pa-cific. At present there is not a factory of this character west of St. Louis, and the wants of the intervening field offer abun-dant assurance of the prosperity and perma-nency of such a plant. For the benefit of those who have not looked analytically into the uses of this article it may be said that it is employed in the manufacture of paints and polishes, blackings of every description and com-ffl&tid- s a steady market price. It is under-stood that for the encouragement of the project ten acres of land have been given the company by the Natural Gas company the works to be located on or near their townsite.

Sax Francisco, April 30. The steamer Belgic yesterday brought from Yokohama details of the closing events of the Hetker-ingto- n 1rinl. Commander Bartlett, his wife and (.thert gave further testimony, and Hetherington testified at great length. He j told the story of his troubles, and. coming down to the latter part of the affair, ssrid that in January, while Robinson was absent in Kobe, Mrs. Hetherington made a confes-sion to him of her relations with Robinson. Hetherington, in describing it, said that it was a long and painful story; it produced a revulsion of feeling in him, and, when he understood all, he freely forgave her. His feeling against Robinson was intensified, and. while his wife bad done things which were inexplicable to him, he looked upon her as an outraged woman; he has never heard anything more terrible, and couldn't describe his feelings. Robinson returned from Kobe ahout Feb-ruary 10th. Lieutenant Hetherington described the state of feeling which Robinson's return produced in him, and said that, on the day of the shooting, his ideas were confused. He fired the shots more to stop the carriage than with any idea of hitting Robinson, and did not know for some minutes that a bullet had struck him. Consul Tillotson, in ren-dering his decision, gave an exhaustive re-view of the testimony and called atten'ion especially to the confess which Mrs. Hether-ington made to her husband snortly before t!ie 6hooting, in which she described her wild mid-nigh- t ride to Robinson's house last October, and told of the threats Robinson held her. In finding Hetherington not guilty, the Consular curt declared that this confession, together with the other long train of dis-tressing circumstance in the case, bad pro-duced a great state of mental disturbance in the defendant, and he was not responsible for his actions in the moment the fatal shot ' was tired.

THE 1L0WST0NB Again the Subject of Investigation bJ the House Committee on Pub-li- e Lands. A Deal of Some Kind in Which th Name of Bussell Harrison is r Mi .ed Up. t $5000 WORTH OF STOCK. Was Given Away for the Purpose of Secur-ing Certain Leases From the In-terior Department. THE STORY OF THE DEAL As Told by E. C. Waters, for Four Years Manager of the Yellowstone Park Association What Had K. C. Kerens to Io With It. Washington-- , April 30 The question of the Yellowstone park leases is again being investigated by the house public lands com-mittee, E. E. Waters of Montana, for frfirr years manager of the Yellowstone Park testifyiug. A letter was read by him addressed to T. F. Oakes of St. Louis, in flibstanee as follows: "The party to whom $5000 worth of Yel-lowstone Park association stock is to go when paid for in dividend is R. C. Kerens of St. Louis. Will you please have Gibson or the pfopei person notify him of the situation, namely, the amount held by the order of the aree-tor- s. My friend will probably explain to him as fully as he desires." A member of the committee asked witness to whom the term "my friend" referred. The witness replied that it was his lawyerj, The witness was again asked to tell why ?r000 worth of stock was promised and for what purpose. Waters said he had come to Washington to secure certain leases from Secretary of the Interior Vilas, but he had accomplished nothing, and upon seeing thai he could not get anything done, he said to Oakes that when another auministration came in he could get the matter through. . He acknowledged acquaintance with Rns-- , sell Harrison and said at that time he might intercede in the matter and help him get things fixed up. Upon close questioning by a member of the committee witness said $5.00 of stock was intended for Russell Harrison, but neither he (Harrison) nor Kerens knew' anything about it. Harrison, however, was to give his aid purely for the public good and did not know the stock was set aside fcl him until last spring, when he was told so. V Waters further said he never promiaJJ EUtMeU Harrison the Uelc for hii intf-je.nJP-and when he was told of it, Harrison appeared very much embarrassed, and said he would not have had the matter done for anything. Harrison told him, said Waters, that he would see Secretary Noble and lay the matter bsfore him; but whether that was ever done, he did not know, as Gibson had come on to Washington to at'.end to the matter and stayed until it was concluded. The com-mittee will continue the investigation on Monday. THE MYSTERIOUS GARZA. A Band of Garza's Men in the Field hut Their Leador is Reported to be iu Canada. Abelixe, Tex., April 30.

Y., April 2, 1800, and lived in that city until she became a resident of Niles in 1828.

A TUNNEL PROJECT. The Ranchers of Wasatch County Want the Water of Strawberry Creek and Propose to Have It. The ranchers of Wasatch county are after the water of .Strawberry creek and have a gigantic tunnei in prospect to get it. The Park City Miner has the following details of the scheme as furnished by Mr. John Lind-say, a prosperous rancher of Wasatch: The W'illow Creek Canal company, a stock company composed of twenty-fiv- e or thirty ranchers and having a capital stock of 5000, has been organized in Wasatch county for the purpose of tunneling through the moun-tain which separates Daniels canyon from Strawberry valley in order that they may tap Strawberry creek and use the water thereof for irrigating purposes. This tunnel, when completed, will be about 780 feet in length. Mr. Lindsay, in com-pany with his brother, Andrew Lindsay, and George Muir, have entered into a co i tract with the company to drive this tunnel, and during the past winter have been busily en-gaged In prosecuting the work. They have penetrated the mountain to a distance of about 320 feet 160 feet on either side and have about 450 feet to drive yet, which they expect to have completed by the first day of October next. The tunnel will be the means of obtaining sufficient watt r to irrigate in the neighbor-hood of 150 acres in dry time aud almost double that amount in the wet season. The estimated cost of the undertaking is a little less than $3 0D, an amount which all will declare is "cheap enough," when it is con-sidered what a vast benefit it will be to the ranchmen who are interetted in it. Mr. Lindsay is an old timer in Utah, hav-ing resided here over thirty years. He was a teamster for the Ontario when all that there was of the now great works was a windlass which was operated by two men. They were then working on the vein, but had little thought of the extent of the bo-nanza which is now pouring dividends into the lap of its stockholders at the rate of $75,000 a month. - .

Two Lewiston, Me., liquor constables raided a drug store which was provided with a surprising outfit of trap doors, pitfalls, vaults and strong rooms. By climbing to the top of a partition ana dropping twenty-tw- o feet into a cellar-lik- e abyss one of the constables reached a stairway which led to a secret chamber, built of brick and having a brick door framed with iron. A strong room was provided with an oaken door six inches thick. A big haul of liquors was made, and after settling his case the drug-gist will not only have to get a new stock but also devise new means of secreting his goods. Kev. Francis Marsten, a Pnsbyterian clergyman, of Columbus, Ohio, evidently doesn't believe that a prayer should be a string of pious platitudes. He was invited the other day to open the session of the lower house with prayer, and this is how he did it: "Remember, 6 Lord, the welfare of these, thy servanU, gathered here in this maelstrom of iniquity, fraud and corruption. Thou knowest with what suspicion this leg-islature is looked on by the people of this great state. Lord, deliver us from the bribes, bribers and bribetakers in our midst, and keep them from tho ways of temptation which surround them on every hand, and may their acts be righteous and not cor-rupt." A Maine paper tells of the queer predica-ment in which a Biddeford man is. He owns fifty acres of land in the suburbs of Biddeford which his grandmother left him, but he can't find it The boundary lines haven't been run for generations. There is some dim record of the original grant at Alfred, but not clear enough to enable him to find out just what he owns. He has had a surveyor at work trying to run the lines, but each time he has encroached on land to which others have clear titles. Now the property is advertised for taxes and a possi-ble solution has preeented itself to the owner. He says he is going to let the city sell the land for taxes, bid it in himself, and let the city find it for him. The city, he argues, can't' sell anything it can't deliver, and can't deliver anything it can't find. "fhe blind faith of the Italian fishermen in the efficacy of holy relics is pathetic. "Many of them," says a correspondent, "keep themselves iu a state of utter impoverish-ment in providing necessary amulets and charms. Not only is the fisherman's person covered with these, but his boat must also possess all possible saving power through these religious appliances. Should some great storm arise and genuine danger come, one by one of these objects are cast upon the waves with a faith that is positively sublime. Meanwhile his wife ashore, possessed of the same implicit and pious gives her most precious relics to the. sea that her husband may come safe to land. And I have no doubt that when fatal disaster conies, as it aiwajs does, this man sinks into the si-lence beneath the tempest with his last spark of vital consciousness an unditnmed flame of trust and faith." Not half a lifetime ago a wealthy New Yorker, who died recently, missed from his picture gallery two small but very valuable canvases. He suspected everybody in the house. Tt was said at the time that he ac-cused one of his sons, who was a little wild, of having stolen the pictures in order to raise on them money which his father had refused him for his extravagances. How-ever, the facts remained a mysterj" for some years. Then an expressman delivered a package at the banker's door. In it were the missing pictures, intact, as they had been taken from their frames. There was no mark or sign upon them or the package to denote the source from which their restor-ation proceeded. The owner was as curious now as he had been furious before. He seta detective on the matter. The pictures were traced backward, through the express office, to the widow of one of the owner's most in-timate and trusted friends. This man, him-self a millionaire, crazed by cupidity, for he was a collector of pictures himself, had stolen them one night after he had dined with their owner. In One Solid Body. New Yokk, April 30. Delegates from 253 labor organizations in this city met last night for the purpose of settling all past differences and united in one solid body, to work in harmony in future against organ-ized capital, and create the same condition of things as prevailed several years ago when the labor movement was at its zenith. The delegates present represented about 150,000 men ia this city, and every branch of trode. Addresses were made counseling harmony and unity of action. Solving Two Problems.
