There was nothing found on the body except a l ur ch of keys and a one cent piece, the latter being1 wrapped in a piece of paper. The keys were at tached to a small chain and one be longed to a double pad lock, and this is the on'y thing with which the man could ever be identified, as it is of peculiar shapo and had boen broken and fastened together again. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that they were unable to deter mine how the man came to his death. The ieinits were buried in the cemetery rear Rock Bluffs. Smltz Sage.

This writer had the pleasure yester day of witnessing the taking out of the ground of large slabs of ulrao.n pure gold at the Grant, mine, of which so much notoriel3" has been given throughout the bredth of the land, says the Pioneer-Timea of Sunday morning. Layers aboilt one-fourth to one-half an inch in thidknees and as large as a boy'i hand, were found lying upon nn Iron ore In a water cre vice and free from surround Ing rock. They will weight t om one-half to three-fourths of a pound apiece and Mr. Grant has several nundred dol lar' worth of these, which are not taken out of the roc't, but found in slabs between the layers of rock, as If the gold had been melted and poured into tho crevice by human hands. Friday, Mr.-Grantz put a force of sev eral men at work cleaning up and yesterday commenced taking out ore preparatory to loading and shipping another car. The fabulously rich ore which was at first fouod continues to hold oat as good, if not better, than at first, and any rock broken from the body shows a great amount of free gold, s -tne being floe, but very thickly distributed through tbe rock, while other pieces contain large nug gets of gold, which will sometimes hold two pieces of tho ore together by a golden thread. The slabs taken out yesterday are fold and silver com bined, estimated to be about one-third silver and the balance pure gold, and is one of the most wonderful strlKes that has ever been known. The mine, or open cut, has been uncovered quite a distance along the body, and instead of the rich ore play ing out, as had been rumored after Mr. Grantz had shut down the woi Ic ings for a time white he was away with his fir6t car of ore for treatment, the body continues and is gutting thicker, and I! anything, richer, as work progresses. Mr. Grantz had ex pected to close down workings for the winter after he had taken out another car, but is uncertain a present just what he will do regarding the work ings. But there is one thing certain the rich body continues, and it is not known what amount of wealth is awaiting the miners' coming with the limits of this wonderful striko.

THE OLD TORY. ffe Had M System- That Was Abso lutely infallible Walking down the Strand the other day I was attracted by a crowd that was collected ound nn omnibus. It was the usual scene a prostrate horse, with the conductor sitting on its head and an officious policeman Jotting down voluminous notes, says Answers. I was about to pass on when the face of the driver attracted my attention. "By jove! that man is uncommonly like , a friend of my under graduate days at Oxford," I said to my self, and as he at that moment took off his hat my impression was con firmed beyond a doubt. What a re verse of fortune! Five years ago he was quite the richest undergraduate at Oxford, for, besides a very liberal al lowance from his parents, he won large sums on the turf. The persist ence and regularity with wh'rdi he won was very marvelous, and he accounted for it by saying that he gambled on an infallible system, which he would not divulge. Hi3 unvarying success produced a belief in us young spirits that he had successfully solved the problem which had been the ruin of so many people. The last time I saw him he was driving his own coach; five years later I met him driving an omnibus. It was a sad sight, and I passed on for fear pf his recognizing me. 1 suppose the sequel ".s plain enough. The old story. Luck changed, and, like all gamblers, he drifted on to hia beam-ends trying to retrieve his reverses. Charcoal Kpt on hand at Egenberger & Tmon's feed store.

PIay the Bole of a 1'retty, Clever Vivacious Thief. Somerville (N. J.) Special to the New York Sun: Never sluce old Farmer PenderKast was groid-brirked out of $0,000 has the Watchung Ridge section j been vi.MteJ by n; clever an impostor as recently let herself loose among tne hills. EUe was yo-.ms and vivacious, with a pretty ovai f.ie and dark eyes, topped with a wealth of bleached hair. Her form wa sler.der and graceful, ond tho walked with a jaunty air. She wore a tailor-made gown, a 9tyllsh hat and a fur cape, all of the best ma terial. The most str!!:lng thing about her appearance was the absence of her left arm. which was off at the shoul der. One stormy night she knocked at the door of Garret C. Brokaw, a well to-do farmer living on the ridge near White House. She gave her name as Mtes Leona Deminar of New York City, nnd said she had got off the cars at the wrong station and had lost her way. Her destination was Fleming ton. sixteen miles awa3, and she wanted shelter for the night. The sight of thi3 pretty miss in the storm appealed to Farmer Brokaw, and he gladly gave her shelter. Her manner was that of a woman of culture and refinement. She said she had lost her arm in a wreck on the Philadelphia & Reading railroad, near Trenton June tlon. and had got a verdict for $23,000 damages against the company, and that the settlement was about to be made at Flcmington by her lawyer, O, P. Chamberlain, of that piace. and the agents of the company. The Brokaw family were cT-armed with tho stranger, and invited her to remain :.t least a week. She protest ingly accepted the invitation. On the day alleged to have been set for the settlement of her claim Brokaw. with his best span of horses, drove the fair stranger sixteen miles to Flemington. She alighted from his carriage in front of the county clerk's ofTice, where she said she was to meet by appointment her lawyer and the agents. Brokaw saw her enter the building, and drove to Humphrey's hotel, where he was to takt (lii:inr with her an hour later. He walit-d in vain. Bonus later he searched the town for her and Inquired at every railroad station, hu could get no trace of her. At the office of O. P. Chamberlain he learned that he had been duped, as the lawyer was without knowlec.;3 of the fair damsel. Brokaw then whipped his horses into a run and started for home. After taking an inventory of the family cash and val uables he told his wife never to harbor another strange woman, even if she had both arms off. Mrs. Brokaw retort ed that the stranger would never have been harbored at all if Mr. Brokaw had not been so taken with her. Bro kaw's loss is believed to be heavy, but he refuses to tell about it, as he has recently Iipcii laughing at a neighbor who was gold-bricked. Information ha3 been received here recently of the ar rest of a woman giving her name as Miss Giherson and answering the de scription of the swindler at Westches ter, Pa. She is held by Chief of Police JdTries of that place, charged with stealing jewelry from people at Bristol and Wilmington, whose confidence she gained through a story about he. lost arm. a railroad wreck and a verdict of $40,000 against the Pennsylvania rail road yet to be collected.

While the mahogany is the sawdust most largely used in cleaning furs, various other kinds are also employed for that purpose. The use of boxwood sawdust for cleaning jewelry is traditional. Boxwood saw dust is also used for polishing silver. Some sawdusts are used In marquetry work. Some are used in making press ed mouldings and ornaments. Sandal wood sawdust Is used in scent bags. The production of coarse sawdust of various hard woods, such as oak and maple, is greater than the demand for them; inch sawdusts may be burned in the mills where they are produced. Coarse mahogany sawdust may be sold for commonplace uses, or employed as fuel where it is made; but for the fine sawdust of all the hard woous there is more or less demand; for many of tnem there is a ready market. The most costly of fine hard wood sawdust is boxwood, of which the supply is less than the demand. Fine hard wood sawdusts are shipped from New York to various raits of the United States; tney are exported in considerable quan tities to Canada, and seme are sent to England.
