NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Coroner's ' Jury in the McMillan Owe Unable to Reach a Verdict. MYSTERY OF A WOMAN'S DEATH UNSOLVED Krldenea TnKcn VnlU to Show If Slio Murilrrml Moro ToUlmonjVniitml and Anotnnr SoMlon to ! > Held To ( Inf. The coroner's Jury In the McMillan shootIng - Ing case mot yesterday tnornlnz , and , after trying In vain to doclilo upon a verdict , agreed to a postponement until this after noon at ! 1 o'clock. Indications now tire that there may bo necessity for another Inquest , and the coronar has given the undertaker Instructions not to bury the body until after the Jury ingots this afternoon , as the sta tutes provide that the Jury must view the boJy over which the inquest Is held. It is stated on good authority that two of the Jurymen voted yesterday forenoon in favor of a verdict of murder and the third for sui cide. Slnco the vote w.ts taken moro testi mony of a more or less Important nature has transpired and will bo introduced this after noon , Mrs. Gcorgo niaxslm and a man named Johnson , both of them living near the saloon where tno shooting took piaco , heard sounds of n man nnd woman quarreling in the saloon shortly before the fatal shot was llrod , nnd they will testify to tii.it fact. Oniccr Henry Louch was witness of the same thing. U II. Cousins , H. V. Hates ana Charles Urown , together with Chief Sc.tnl.iu and a few others , paid .1 visit to the Ptuualx saloon Saturday night for the purpose of determining for themselves whether it would bo possible for Jones to see whether his gun was in its proper place without the aid of any llzht save that from the street , as Uo had said ho did. About oven tills point there was sonic doubt In the minds of the investi gators , Hites and Scanlnn saying that they could see whether or not the gun was there , whllo Cousins and Urown did not seem to have so goad an optical apparatus as their companions and took the contrary viaw. Henry McCardlo , ono of the South Main street llremcn , who was llrsl to get Into the saloon after the shooting , is said to hive a little information under his hat which was not brought out during the inquest. Ho states that when ho entered the place there wits alight burning over the wine room , Jones' statement to the contrary notwith standing , and this would have enabled JOIICF to see all the contents of the bar clearly. The apparent dlscropcne-.v between his story ami that of Jones might bu explained away m : the theory that Jones was so drunlc that he did not know much about what was going on , and his theory is by no means out of the question , since Jones' barkeeper , Ton Mitchell , said he brought the quartet "sev er.tl rounds ol beer ilvo or blx or seven any way. " A great many circumstances connected with the atlair seem to indicate that ; drunken quarrel was in progress botweei Jones and the woman , anil it is cxtromnlj doubtful if Jones could toll a straight stor.i about it , even if lie were so dlsnoscil. Another attempt will bo made to arrive a a verdict this afternoon , and if the Jury dis agrees tlio probtbility Is that it will bo dis charged and a now ono empaneled.

A peculiar and not uninteresting stor of the devotion of man to woman is tel < in an application recently filed in tin olllco oi-tho governor of Indiana for tin pardon of Jacob Noel of lilkhart county now bcrvlng a lifo sentence in the stat prison for murder. On the morning o August 22 , 187iJ , Noel and his wife , ai exceedingly attractive woman , engage * in un altercation in the rear of tlici homo in Ulkhurt and Abraham Paulus a neighbor , entered the yard and too ! the part of the wife and was shot und in stantly killed by Nool. Th.o murdoro immediately surrendered himself to th authorities , but refused to make an , . btutomcnt of the circumstances leadin ' , ; to his crime except that Paulus had ci K torcd his yard and interfered in u quai rol in which ho hud is no coi isy corn. Tlio trial wus culled i December following and on th isI d btund in his own behu I Noel still udhorealto his determinutioi h not to toll anything moro of the crim than was already known to the publii Further than the btutoment that lie an his wife were quarreling and tin : Puulus intorfqrcd ho would say nolhiiu His cotnibol sho\yci his previous gou v , character , his quiet , iiiolTcnslvo dispos 10 lion and Unit the fatal encounter wit re Pauliis wa the only trouble that ho ha .it over hud. It was shown that , bofoi JS going to Elkhurt , ho had lived at Pul man , near Chicago , and had there in ouuuilal''d homo property and that ho lui been employed for a number of years i u draper by Marshall Field & Co. ( that city. Beyoiul this nothing wi ottered in mitigation of the crime am while the jury believed that somothiii wus lacking , it hud to bo governed 1 the facts adduced and Noel received CO lifo bontcncc. I' , \Vhon Noel reached the prison ho wi toil placed at work in the cooper shop ui il- lor nearly ton years ho performed h ilIt - dally tuslcs without u murmur , never It. this time referring to His crime and , i llg far as known , never making u contld.i of of anyone regarding it. Tlio uttontic > the ho l of thu pribon authorities was attract ! ire by his uniform good behavior and son bo yours ugo ho was mudo a "trusty" ui placed in charge of the groun surrounding the wurdou'w residence , \o this capacity he hits butm ulwu faithful and has the unlimited conlldun of the prison olliciulb , taking full chari of the grounds , irolnj ? to and from ti railway station with vibltors and kee of ing everything in the mi un perfect order. At night ! an makes the rounds of the prcmih to bee that everything is bccure and ih reports nt the prison , goes into hib ct and is locked up till morning , \\hon leaves it again lor his duties ouUidc t at- prison walls. During all his fourtc tut years of confinement he 1ms never be In- known to utter a complaint , and , thou Inhu the olllcofs would gladly have becond an olToi'c to gain a pardon for him , never suggested such a stop till witli i to the past tow months. It was then tli ud i to the btory of the killing and the ovci try load ng ui ) to it was llrbt told by t lie convict , who hud kept silent for years itu- reference to a crime that hud many u itu.ho .ho tenuuting clrcuiTistuncos and the pi iOf bhinent for which he might have i ov- had ho shown little imped entirely as i ivo CO , gard for the fair fume of his wife us s i to had shown for her marriage vows. According to Noel's story , ho had d covered that his wife was unfaithful him and ho wus upbraiding hur on i in count of hur inlldnfity on tno mornl list of the murder. Ho loved her with by passion that dwurfcd every ether sen iloto inunt in hlb breast and his fooling \ \ to that of coinmiberution rather than icil anger for he bolitsved that bho hud be biibjcotod to some torrlblo tuinptutl and had fallen without being uttoi Dr.at bad. Just at that moment Paulus i at poured upon the bcone. It WUB ho who h brought ruin upon his house and wL Piuilus appeared and sought to pose as his wife a protector , It llrcd his brain and almost without knowing what ho did ho llrcd the shot that sent the soul of the seducer Into eternity. Ho re gretted the act the moment It was com mitted nnd resolved that , however un worthy the wife had been , ho would bo true to his vow to protect and honor her. Under the magic Inlhtonco which sbo exerted ever him , ho still bclloved her capable of living a correct lifo , and though ho believed that ho might escape - capo the veiigoanco of the law if ho would show the great provocation under which ho labored and give the proofs upon which it was based , ho de termined to sutler rattier than to send the woman ho lovoij out into the world with a reputation forever blasted. ActIng - Ing In accordance with this resolution , ho refused to produce In court any of the proofs which might have saved him from conviction and which certainly would have mitigated his crime and resulted In a lighter sentence. Ho said that ho had lived In the hope of being some day a free man , but ho had proposed to dlo In prison rather than lot ono word es cape him that would sully the reputation of his wife. "Ho had expected Umt his wife would got a divorce , and wished that she would , but oven this would not have caused him to break his long sl [ lenco. She had recently married , how ever , without going through the legal form of getting a divorce , and this had urovoJ to his mind that she had not only ceased to euro for him , but as well Had no respect for the obligations of the law or regard for the estimation in which her own name wus held. Unknown to Noel , rumor had boon busy in Elkhurt with his wlfo's name in connection with that of Paulus before the murder , and It was generally be lieved that their intimacy led to the killing. Noel's reticence could not bo explained and his conviction followed as a matter of course , for ho hud refused to lay hold of tlio only thing that would save him. As soon as it was learned that ho had made a statement of the facts his friends in and around Elkhurt got up petitions to the governor for a pardon , and some three weeks ago the case was formally culled to his attention. Warden French has written a letter in which ho speaks of Noel's splendid prison record , and many of the prom inent citizens of Elkhurt have written personal loiters to the governor in his behalf. In addition to these , the gov ernor has evidence which helms h tinsel I gathered in the case , and Noel will be liberated. AN OYSTER OF WORTH. The 1'cnrl Clus * Hiul IMioro They Are I'ou nil. Very few people are aware that the pearl oyster is not in any way llko the oysters which we eat. It Is of an en tirely different species , and , as a matter of fact , the shells of the so-called pearl oyster arc of fur moro value to those en gaged in "pearl fishing" than the pearls. There are extensive pearl fisheries in the Gulf of California , says Harper's Young People , and some of the finest peurls have boon taken from these waters. In 1881 ono pearl , a black ono , was bold for $10,000 , and every year since that time many pearls have been taken from the beds in the California gulf valued at ever 87f > 00 ouch. But such "finds" are very rare , and , as u rule , the pearls which nro brought up are of very little value. The shells , however , are very valuable ; most of them are shipped to Europe , where they are manufactured into ornaments , knife bundles , buttons , and the hundreds ol ether articles for which "mothcr-of- pearl' ' is used. Another fact concerning the pearl oyster and the pearl itbolf is very little understood. I have scon in books of in struction both in this country and in England the statement that "the forma tion of the peai 1 in the oyster shell h caused by a di&oaso of the oyster ; " and this statement is more or loss generally believed , as is also the erroneous in- forcnco to be drawn from it. that the oyster referred to is the cdiblo oyster. The mother-of-pearl is nothing more than a sorius of layers of nacreous mat- tar deposited by the oyster upon the in torlor of the shell , und the pearl itboli is a perfectly accidental formation. 11 is caused by a bimilar deposit of nacre around borne foreign object. This for eign btibstanco may be a grain of sand a parasite , or borne similar object ; btr most authorities agree that it ib more .isuully an undeveloped egg of the oybtoi around which this natural deposit ii thrown. The largest pearl ever found measure ! wo inches long , nnd weighs thrci mnces. This ib of eastern origin. Tin largest found in the Gulf of Californii lid not exceed an inch and a quarto : eng , and was bomowhat larger than tin egg of a bluebird. Many of the Call 'orniun pearls are black and speckled Thcao are considered moro valuabl ihan the white pearls in Europe , bu tlio most highly prized peurls of all ar pink. BISERIA'3 SALT LAKE. teen miles long , yet , except in a fo\ \ places , it is solidly roofed ever with dopobit of salt , which is getting thlcko and thicker every year. Our guide who is un old man , suld that ho coul remember when the salt orybtals firt begun to form upon the surface of th water.

Splendidly mounted on a jot-black horse , ho was making rapid progress , but wo could not at tlrat imagine why ho pressed on so furiously , nor why , us ho could plainly BOO our white topped wagons , ho did not make directly for us.

" Sure enough , wo could now see , just coming ever the rldgo of a distant rise In the plain , a band of mounted Indians , who , as they advanced , gradually ox- tcndod their line as if to prevent the hunted man from swerving to the righter or loft. "Why in thunder don't the blamed fool ride straight for us ? " impatiently exclaimed Tom Hess , our captain. "For a mighty good reason , " replied Joe. "Between ua and him , right in the middle of that smooth looking plain , and running square across his path , lies Devil's Gulch. It's more than three miles long , very wide in places , and no living thing has ever seen the bjttom of it. The reds bay it 1ms none. There's no rise on cither side of it , and it can't bo seen till ono gets close up ; but those devils and that poor follow , too , know it's there. He's opposite the center of it now , and the bloodthirsty brutes see that ho won't have time to clear either end before they overhaul him. So they're sure of his scalp , but they'll have to ride around the gulch to got at us. " "They'll ' pay dearly for that scalp , then , " savagely shouted Captain Hoss. "Grab your ridesboyri , and thirty of you come along. Lot the others stick to the corral. I'm afraid we can't save the man , but if a lot of you can got to the gully before the reds retreat beyond ride shot we'll have revenge , anyhow. " Wo had no saddle horses except those ridden by Ross and Carroll , and as wo wore barely a half milo from the ravine , no time would bo gained by unharness ing and mounting the draught animals. So our leaders spurred on ahead and wo followed on foot as fust us our legs could carry us. At the moment wo started the beset horseman was about as far from ono side of the gulch as were wo from the other. Ho was still riding at top snood , but to our amazement , as we judged , within 400 yards of the barrier ho brought the pace of his horse down to a hand-gallop , thus enabling the yelling1 , exultant savages ta gain rapidly on him. It seemed strange that the apparently doomed man should deliberately , in this manner , shorten his brief span of life. It must bo , wo conjectured , only be cause ho wished to soil it more dearly , for now wo saw him half turn in his und- dlo and throw up his rillo. A putt of smoke , u report , almost inaudible to us , and the foremost warrior , who had come within 150 yards of his hoped-for prey , reeled in his seat and pitched headlong to the earth , his trained pony rcmainiiiir motionless by the dead body. Never cheeking the easy lope of his horse the white man reloaded with in- crcdiblo speed , turned once moro and brought down another of his pursuers , while the scattering volley fired at him c in return proved harmless. Our mounted comrades had by this time nearly reached the gulch. Sud denly ono of them , Joe Carroll , turned back and , galloping toward us , shouted : "It's Kit Carson , boys ! And sure as you live bo's letting his horse gather himseif for an attempt to leap the gully in one particular spot whore it's only twenty feet wide. Hurry along like lightning , so as to got within shot of the rods if they're fools enough to follow him to the edgo. " Loud cheers greeted this startling revelation and ovary man of us ran as If the world's ' fate depended upon his in dividual speed. But , strain as wo might , wo wore still over 1)00 ) yards from the , to us invisible , ravine when Kit Carson twisted about , fired , again with unerring aim and a third snvngo fell. Then ho dropped his rillo , throw his heavy holsters and pistols to the ground , and , sitling well down in his saddle , rode straight for the yawning chasm. Tom ROBS had gained the hither-side of the gulch and the guido was hurry' ing back to join him ; but wo , now thai the crisis had coino , were so fascinated by the bight of Carson's sublime dnrinp that wo involuntarily cuma to u full stop , breathlessly awaiting tno result. On , with short , springy bounds , came the black stallion and Hess , as ho after ward told us , was close enough to marl how his mighty muscles seemed to bund and gather into hardened knots as lit caught sight of the awful leap before him. Calmly resolute , his unblinking gaz < flxod upon the spot boleotod for his dcs p era to venture , bat the rider.

Ono half second of suspense nl"I then wo break once more into wil 30 cheers , for the powerful stallion lui nnr 30n cleared the chasm and reached thoopjx nr HIO bunk. Ah , no ! Something is wren < id From where wo stand wo can see th it- head and shoulders of rider and herb < but both are stationary.

Not otherwise can v account for his inaction while fractions of seconds are precious. Ono Instant moro nnd the gallant pair must perish before our eyes. Hut , no ; the old plainsman , Joe Carroll , had como within fifty yards of the * uleh when the leap was made , and now. as ho smira on still fust or , we sco his right hand whirling around his head though too far oil to see what the hand holds , wo know what the motion means and In another moment , while yet a score of fcot from his mark , he has thrown the loop of his la < < so around the Imperiled man's body nnd his horse upon Us haunches at the same tlmo. The well- trained animal Instantly pulls backward , the tough rawhide line tightens , and Kit Car-ton lies sate upon the sward ! Alas , though , for the poor steed 1 Ho- fore his mnstor has been fairly drawn from his back , ho topples ever and , with a shrill cry , more fearful that that of a human being in its agonv , falls down down down to ft swift , but happily painless , dentil Then wo awoke from our trance of terror ami ran With might and main toward the scone. Wo found our leaders unch clasping a hand of the famous scout and were In tlmo to hear him say : "I've lots of squeezed through tighter places than this , men , but have never before paid such a price for my llfo. No amount of money could have tempted mo to part with that horso. He's saved my scalp ever and ever again and has at ] last died for mo. Hut , " turning to us , "quick with your rillo- ! , boys ! Those rod dovlls are going to run for it. " Glancing toward the btifllod Apaches we saw that they had not advanced an Inch since Carson's leap , but had con verged so as to form one body , and were evidently preparing to retreat. Before turning , however , each warrior crouched low on the side of his pony and the whole baud delivered a mixed volley of arrows nnd bullets. Ten of the former fell among us and the latter , being flrod from old Illnt- lock , smooth-bore buffalo guns , did no execution. "Steady mon , steady , " enjoined Kit Carson. "Shoot to kill.1' At that time repeating rilles had not como into general use , but wo all car ried first class mululoudors , and , al though somewhat blown by our race , each man of us stayed his rapid breath ing for a raiment and braced himself to lire effectively. "Now , boys , now ! " prompted the vot- craii lighter , as the cloud of ponies turned tail to us , thereby partially oxp.wlng their riders. Thirty rilles cracked at the word , and four mustangs and nine braves wont down , but before wo could reload every deutl or wounded Indian was caught up between 'two of his unhurt comrades mm , with demoniacal yells of ruge , the whole crowd skurriud away. Then wo brought our wagons down to the ravine , made a temporary bridge with their poles lashed together end to end in pairs , and quickly vocjvered Kit Carson's weapons. "How was U , Mr. Carson1 asked Car roll. "The reds seem to 1mvo got the start of you this time ? " "Yes , " quietly replied the renowned pioneer , "I was fairlj surprised for once. I've ' been out for some days try ing to locate tin easier road through the foothills. Having been no Indian 'sign1 about these parts. I rode carelessly round a blulT this morning , and run almost on top of that band of Apaches. They were coining straight toward mo , not more than forty rods oTund ! nothing but the speed of my horse saved mo. They've paid pretty'dearly for their fun , though. You'll ' see no moro of thorn this trip. " 'i3ut ! why did you tuko the chances of such a jump , instead of riding olT in an other direction ? " inquired another of our party. "Well , " replied Carson , "it was risky. But I knew the width of that narrow spot to an inch , and believed Blackbird could clear it thus in a moment gaining three miles. The rods would have given uii the chftfO then , oven if your party hadn't been in sight , for tlioy would have been obliged to ride a mile and a half twice over to got round the rovine ; whereas if I'd taken to the open country , they would have followed mo for days. Those wiry mustangs have no end of bottom. "My poor horse did jump more than far enough , but , as you can BOO by the murks of his hoofs on the other side , ho Started fully four fcot from the edge , and so fell short in his landing. Still , ho would have saved himself if he'd been perfectly fresh , for ho bus moro than once , with mo heavily armed on his buck , cleared a space of twenty-five measured feet. " Kit Carson , with whom I afterward became acquainted , was at this time in the primp of llfo about -12 years of ago , I think ; and from his rather slight form , low , soft voice and modest demeanor meaner was the lust man in the world a casual observer would have pitched upon us ono of the most adventurous pionuors. daring scouts und successful Indian-fighters known to American frontier History. Ho remained with us two days , but on the third day we overtook n largo party of emigrants , from ono of whom ho pur chased a thoroughbred Kentucky mare , and bidding us a hearty Godspeed , rode off toward his headquarters on the Rio Verde as unconcernedly at though totally unaware that every where In that region lurked ruthless one1 lilies thirsting for his blood. lm | > uttcil l > y the Tnv tliornr.

A most valuable comparison of the cost of oleotrlo ll htln by separate plant and by contract with companies lias been made at Columbia college , The comparison shows that In a largo build- In" ; , whore h.illors , enclnos and engi neers are Indispuimblo for heating , pumping , the running of elevators , otc. , the electric light furnished by dynamos run from the same boilers Is very eco nomical. This has boon believed in n general way for a number of years , but exactly how much money Is saved by having a private plant , ever what It would cost If the lamps were fed by currents supplied from some central station oleutriu lighting company , Is n problem which few persons have taken the trouble to solve. For several years a portion of Columbia college hue boon lighted by electricity , and during the last two years silmost exclusively by Its own plant. It appeared that a com parison of what It cost the college for its electric lighting for a certain num ber of "lump hours" before It used Its own plant with what It now costs for thd same number of lights would be valuable , slnco thu conditions in almost any largo building , hotel , club , etc. , are very similar to the > so In the case in question. Hy un inspection of the com pany's bill for previous years , and the rec irds kept by tlio engineer in charge of the plant , it wns found that the average load per year was 175 amperes nt 118 volts. The ) initial cost of the plant was $5,000 , and allowing 15 percent interest , depreciation and repairs , this amounts to 4-750 per year. This , reckoned with the cost of additional labor , coal , oil , water and an item for waste , made a total cost of S2.851.20 for running the plant tor 019,275 ampere hours , i. c. . for one year's lighting. The company's ' bills for the year previous to the in stallation of the plant amounted to $4S'.I0.22 ' , the prices per lamp hour work ing out to tlirco-qimrtorri of a cent. This makes the total number of lamp hours per year 052,021) ) , or . ' 120,01-1 ninporo hours. Hut the plant supplies light for an average of ll,275 ) ! ) amiioro hours pot1 year , and at the above rate the company would have clrirgod $1 11,780. 12. Ilonca the college saves $ K.OU7.il2 ) per year by j having its own plant , thus decreasing the cost of lighting to about ono-flfth \vlmt it otherwise would be ; i. o. , the lighting costs on nil average ono-boveiuh of 1 per cent per lamp hour. This in structive comparison was only arrived at after a careful examination of accounts , combined with tests of the boiler , engines ginos , dynamos , otc.
