The bronzed , hards , and healthy tea- , turos of Captain I'anl Hoyton wore seen in the Pnxton yesterday nnd their owner was soon engaged In n eonvorsa- lion with n reporter for the Ilr.E. lie had just como In from Denver ami other points in the mountains , whcro ho hud been giving exhibitions of Ills water- dress in the lakes and rivers. Where- over ho had been , his exhibitions had been attended by hosts of people , who coined interested to the greatest degree. Previously to his appearance in Colorado rado , ho had spent some tlmo in Cali fornia , whore ho hud exhibited in the bay and at difl'eront points along the Columbia. Tl.u display in front of the Clin" house was witnessed by-10,000 pco If Captain lioyton regretted ' that there wns no place In Omaha In which he could give an exhibition , lie ro.nioni bored his pasting through the city about four years : igo , when ho was floating down the Mis souri , and loll that a wonderful change had taken place in many ways hero sineo then When asked how ho had gotten onlj of the scrape ho occasioned when ( lie put the "torpedo" under the bow of the English man-of-war , which lay in New York Harbor , some months ago , ho re marked that it did not eflbet him in any manner except to advertise his invention. The placing of that torpedo , In ; said , was currying Into practice a threat lie had made ten years before when ho endeav ored , to have his dress adopted by the English board ot admiralty. When he went before the body and claimed that with his drefrs ho would be able to place n lorp"edo beneath an enemy's vqssel"old Smith , " who was then lord of tlib admir alty , claimed that such a thinir was pre posterous for u moment. The world has long fliuco been a witness of the currying out of the threat on vessel under no loss authority than of the , board Of admiralty mentioned. 6JS3 ' dipt. Hoyton is'in excellent spirijs and chjoyiiig life in a most satTsia'otory fuan- nor. He is on bis way toward the south- cast , and will give an exhibition in Run- fias City one Of these days for which t > Jac3 he will leave to-morrow. Ex-Agent MeGilliouddy , formerly of Pine Ridge , and now a oitizoii of tlio world , with a light ilanncl cour/hid vest , imperial and llowinu moustache and slender frame. , was seen at thn Paxton at the same time. To a BEU reporter he said , that ho was on his wav to tlio ex treme mist , aud that ho would eventually settle in the hills , the remarkable" richness of which was bcjng developed every day. lie hgd juet come in trom Rapid City wljefo there had been a celebration on tlio Fourth of a grand character. That was ojyi of tlie mo.it promising cities of the country and the mineral rcsourses of the country was attracting ntj attention not less than thai whicli followed the dis coveries at Leadvillo. With regard to his removal by the present administration , ho was unt Broatly nlleoted. lie had expected it ; ( n ffldt , ho Imd brought it out , because no luiejv that In the course of events , on the principle of tlio spoils belonging to the victors , he would have to relin- liniib ] ( his ofilco. When charges were l rolorred against him , lie did not want to retire , booitnso lie know upon what worthless grounds they were based. But when , as part of the partisan ddsiro to oust him , thointcriordcpartmontdccidod to ! ippoii\t a clerk of their own who was ut times to not in IMS steud , handle mon ies for whjch ho Was responsible , ho felt that ho wo'uld not stand it , and accord A Slight niso In the Temperature Notes. ' Yesterday , while not as hot as AVcdnes- toruay , was sufficiently wsjnn to make the average pedestrian sigh for tv few Whin' * from Manitoba , 13Wednesday was an intensely hot ono. Up to njjout two or tlirco o'clock in the wornin.tr there wns scarcely a breath of \vind Btitjring. Shjep was almost impos sible. Sinners swore and the reverent prayed , but everybody sweated nnd gasped for the relief that threatened iiovor to como. Towards daybreak the mercury fell slightly , howovcr , and when the sun rose yesterday the heat had abated considerably. At six o'clock the thermometer in the signal service ollleo indicated the temperature of 73 degrees ; at ton o'clock the mercury had risen to 81 degrees , and at 13 o'clock to 80 while at four o olock It registered 03 degress. This thcrniomo- tor , however , is located at n high point on the government building , and is sub jected to cool iiillnonccs which are not t'olt on the streets below. So that the or dinary thermometer would read about ten degrees higher than these figures. This circumstance would make thu actual highest point of temperature touched to day at least 100 in the shade , or 125 in the sun. The signal service men predict nn in definite continuation of this sort of weather. The compoundor of cold drinks , and the men at the lemonade stands and ice cream fountains have been kept unusn- nlly busy all day long , No cases of sun strokes have BO far been reported. HOT WHIKFd. How long will this keep up ? Everybody , including tlio "oldest in habitant , " agrees that yesterday was the hottest day of the season , or of many sea sons past. Wet leaves or a damn handkerchief placed in the hat. . are almost infallible pruvontutivo.s of sunstroke , Councilman Uoodrich's friends claim that it this hot weather keeps up much longer ho will soon bo in shape to play the ghost in "IJumlet. " Ho is said to bo losiiig weight at tlio rate of n pound and H half u day. . Professor Smith , the Canadian weather prophet , predicts that the closing weeks of July will bo umumully cool. No clttss'of poopio have suflorod morn intensely during this (191 ( weather than the prisoners of the county and city jails , P1VI3 HUNIWKI ) DOLLAUS. font's Experiment Will Cost the City 'i'lint Amount. Judge Stonborg said yesterday that the introduction and passage of P. Ford's social evil ordinance had , although not yoi fn practical operation , completely de moralized the system of collecting tines from the sporting women and would cost the city this month fully ? 500. "These women , " ho said , "have became fright ened and have lull town in largo num bers , or else have scattered so over the city that it is going to be a hard matter to get UfVVU together agaju. Souie of them have gone out to the northern and west ern parts of the city , others have moved tij South Omaha ami others to Council HlulM. It will bo two or thrca months before wecan restore the syMein to what it was before the foQlish measure was pa cd by thq.0uncil. . "Ho the ordinance you propose to enforce ance or n.s it was before the new one wns passed ? " "Yes , except that I shall hold the land lady of each house responsible for the lilies of the girls. That is , each landlady will bo expected to appear nnd deposit the necessary amount for each inmate , instead of allowing the girls to cojno tin ono by one. In this way the system will bo much snnpliiied and the work of keep ing the accounts will be made much easier. Another thing I propose to do is to line the" assignation houses from $25 to JoO n month each. There are too many of them springing up indifferent parts of the city. 'I propose to thin them out. " OUANGU pTu OHKI2.V. They Have Not Yet hccn Wedded In thu County Court House. For some days back one of the county employes has boon engaged in draping the brass clnuulclicr.i of the court house witli variously colored folds of mosquito bar. The intent is not so much to inter fere witli the iguturul prerogative.of the mosquito as to iiYterfcrc with tlio personal liberty ot the ily. the fond appreciation of which for shining resting places docs not conduce to the beauty of tlio samp for any length of time. Whatever taste may bo dis played in the matter of arranging the folds around the burnished frames , the artist has displayed singular inaptitude in tile bestowal of his colors. This is par ticularly noticeable in the tints which do duly in tlio commissioners' room and that Immediately opposite. One of the geniuses of thu former is Air. O'Kcefo. who is quite a patriotic Irishman and yet , his chandelier is shrouded in yellow , the color of tlio unpatriotic rioters of Belfast. The chandelier in the room immediately opposite is hidden behind folds of emer ald green , arid ol thcso.Mr.'O'Kccfl'u may have a view every tlmo ho looks from one room to the other. The decorator did not know , evidently , that "orange and green would carry the day , " if he'did , lie would have mingled them gracefully or given green a little closer proximity to tlie patriot who wears it ou his breast every St. Patrick's day. D12ATJ1 IN A NEW HOME. Sirs. Bcujninlii Barrows Die * After n Short HlnesH. Wednesday nlghtat about 0 o'clock , Mrs Brurows , wife of Benjamin ff Harrows , re cently United States consul at Dublin , died at tiio residence of her husband , 517 Pleasant street in this city. She had been ill but a short thpo and her death will consequently bo a surprise to the many friends who have learned to ad mire tier in the few months she has livid iu Omaha. She loaves three bright and beautiful children , one ; of whom is about eight years of nge. Airs. Borrow was an ac complished lady. She was married to Mr. liarrows in Ireland about eight years ago. while Air. B. decupled the ollicial position above referred to. She was a native of Cashcl and resided in Dublin , while her husband remained there , com ing with him to this country last fall. Her , funeral will take tplace this morning nt 10-80 o'clock Irom Mr. Bar row's residence. Bhinroclc vs. The jury in the case of ShSnrook vs. Mullhall , wns successively addressed.yes terday afternoon by Attornc3's Wilcox , W. S. Felkor , Gen. O'Brien and C. S. Baldwin. Tlie latter mercifully cut their efforts short , and the jury , in return , poured the most consoling benedictions upon their heads. Judge Felkor made a forcible speech , as did also Messrs O'Brien and Baldwin. The jury retired at about 5 o'clock , and jdTnjrlcd in the jury room throughout the night and yes terday until 0:30 : o'clock , when they were brought into court. Previously to their coming in , however , Judge Neville learned that they had not agreed on a verdict , and decided that they should re main out for some time. Mr. Baldwin said it ijerhapa would bo for tlio bettor if the jury failed to agree , and then have a nolle entered and neither of the women could then feel that she had gained a victory over the other , which would not bo the case if tlio charge were sustained or tlio defendant acquitted. Ho suggested , therefore , that if the jury were discharged and both the women bo given a good talking to , it would have u boncticial effect. Judge Neville , how ever , seemed not to take kindly to the suggestion. Tlio jury learned that the judge had arrived and asked to be per mitted to see him. They were broiight into court and the foreman read a ques tion which ono of the jurymen desired to ask the judge as to what : i suflicicnt amount of force consisted in , meaning , to what degree Mrs , Mullhall was justi fied in repelling tlio assault of Airs. Shin- rock upon her child. Judge Neville said that that was a question which the jury alone had to determine. Tlioy were then returned to their room. At B30 : ! yesterday afternoon the jury reported Airs. Alnlhallfnllty. / . There were about twenty" witnesses in this case , the majority of whom were upon thosido of tlio compliinant. Amonp these there will bo some disappointed mortals when they call for their witness foes , They will bo informed that there is nothing for them. The case ranks of the misdemeanor order , and the Ices of witnesses in such eases are to bo derived from lines and licenses after the expense of providing for prisoners and other matters has been satislied. When ono considers the amount of lines.collected in this county and the demands upon them made by the outlay above specified it may easily bo seen that the witnesses in question in testifying have been perform ing a labor of love rather than one of money. I'ollco Point * . A , II , Anodou , a Union Pacific fireman , was arraigned before Judge Stonborg In police court yesterday for beating his wife. The latter , a pale , sad faced woman testified that her husband was iu the habit of boating her , calling her names and generally mistreating her when ho was drunk , i'hodaughter , Jon. nlo. a sixteen-year-old girl , bore testi mony to the brutality of her fuTher. "D6 you wanf to have your husband punished , madam ? " queried tlio Ji\dgo. " 1 don't know , " she replica. "Itinight do more harm than good. Ho is a good man and treats mo well when ho is sober , but when he gets drunk | io commences to abuse mo ami accuse mb of all sorts of bad thing * . Besides that , ho don't ' sup port mo properly , " ThomuttoVfiis finally compromised by Anodbn1s agreeing to behave himself and leave whisky alone , The husband and , wife were instructed by the judge to shaVe hands. After this pleasing , bu of formality , father , mother and daughter loft the court room. ' George Kyan was fined $ l and costs for drunkenness and Tom Finig > inavugnuit , was given ton days in tno county jai.l. Hobort Boyd , another vagrant , was given bix days iu the same bastiie. Opolt'a Hotel. Linoojn Nob. , opened March 15th , Ikst class iu every respect , A NARUOW ESOAt'B * A Dastardly Attempt fit Trnln Wreck- Ins Hall Notes. Wednesday night at 0:0o : p'clocK , the Grandlslund pns'en.scr which loft this city nt'i o'elocK in the ovohlng narrowly escap ed destruction at the hands of a [ dastard. It had reached the cast end of the switch atJClark's and was goi g nt quite a rapid rate. Suddenly Engiin-i-rMittliinvs , who was driving engine No. WIO , notiord a sudden upward movement of the engine , accompanied by a grinding , crunch ing sound of tlie whools. The trajn was stopped immediately , but. not before the whole train had pa = scd over the jspot nt which th'p peculiar noise was heard. It was then found that the train had run over n coup ling pin which had been inserted in the triungh1 of the frog of the swlth men tioned. It was o wi'dged Unit It required tlie force of blows with ; \ heavy lion to lee on it from its hold. When taken out it showed where the lliiugo of the trucks Imd passed over it. They loft a groove nearly half an inch deep , which the Meel llanges of the locomotive had cut. Had it It not bei-n for this out , together with the shortness of the train , which consisted of but three cars , there is no doubt but that the intent of the scoundrel would have boon rcnlixcd and thn train overturned. The guilty party is not known but ono of the people living out in that vacinlty is suspected of the tlced , and is already under watch. Tlio pin in question was brought to Omaha byJCondtictor Kusliln , whr had charge of tlie train , ami shown to a BII : : reporter Yesterday. It is of the largf.-st and most approved make , witli llato sides and convex edges , and bearing thu .stamp of the Union Pacilie road. There were eighty people in the train at the time but some of them never learned of the escape they had. If they had and could have caught the scoundrel , there would have been nothing to have prevented a lynch ing. NOTES AND rT.lti-ONAl.S. George S.

The overland yassonccr train on the Union Pacific , is now held a few minutes in the morning to enable f ho Grand Island to reach the depot without being delayed a few blocks from the entrance. The overland train on the Union Pa cilie this morning was loaded down with passengers. The number of passengers on the Grand Island train fyesterday was about 100 , and of these a larger number than usual went to the 151 nil's. "SNirKKS. " Something About n I'cculhir Class oiUeintrs. . A very common sight on the streets nowadays is the man witli the advertis ing "transparency , " or "sniper , " as ho is occasionally called , ' .this species of advertising has grown quite popular of late years , especially among that class of merchants who dijn't ' believe in the elli- caoy of costly printer's ink. Clothing men as a rule have recourse to this sort of advertising more than any other class of merchants. Thu signs which these "snipers" carry" about are inscribed with all sorts' of 16g- ' ends setting forth the advantages and low prices of the establishment which Is to bo advertised. The common sign is made of white clotli stretched upon a light wooden frame. Still another kind consists of two boards covered with cloth , hanging by means of cords over the street walker's shoulders , ono board bctore and one behind. Still an other ingenious contrivance of the kind is that used by a local liquor house to nd- vcrtiso a certain kijid of blackberry wmo. It is in tlio shape of a light barrel with both ends missing. Inside of this the "sniper" makes his rounds witli the great est case and comfort : . The wages paid to these "walking ad vertisements" arc notlibera.1 , ranging all the way from 25 cents to. TO cents per day. The latter price is tlio highest figure paid and will secure to any merchant who care to indulge in tliis _ species of adver tising any amount of first-class "snipers. ' There are different grailcs in this calling that is to say , some of the men engaged iu tlio business arc better ut it than others. A walker must have good sound limbs and first class powers of locomotion. Granted these and u moder ate amount of willingness to do his work , anil the sniper is pretty sure to bo successful in his peculiar calljng. The men who arc engaged for this sort of work are generally negroes , though white boys are occasionally hired for tlio purpose. Tlio latter , however are too fond of going into some side street , _ there to loaf or "lay , to unit the average merchant. If a youngster is caught in this trick , instant discharge follows , A "sniper" is supposed to bo walking the principal streets ot the city all day long commenc ing 8 o'clock in the mornir.g and quitting at six , oxeijpt during the dinner hour. when ho is granted a brief session of rest , Ono of the best known "walkers'1 in the city is an old negro , who is to bo seen any line day trudging along Farniun and Douglas streets , with a sign on his back. Ho makes from 50 to 75 cents a day , and is said to have saved n snug Bum from his earnings , during the past few years. A Sad lv\iiiiii > lc. "Is ithot enough for you ? " The speaker was u pedestrian who had halted under a Fa mam street awning to mop tlio prcspiiation which was deluging hid face. His listener was a reformed con vict , who was trying to load an upright lifo. The latter did not reply to thu in terrogator's query , and again the ques tion was asked ; "Is it hot enough for von ? " This waa too much for the refo'rmod convict - vict , and with u wild shrlcK ho reached down , pulled up a largo section of the pavement , tuid smote the rash querist , just as ho was about to put the question a third time. The victim fell over-dead. The remains are now lying nt the coroners ners , constituting a sad example of the folly of asking funny questions about the weather. The slayer will not bo arrested. On the other hand , admiring friends have rewarded Ins ollort by securing for him the private secretaryship to Tom Murray , * O. A. J . 31 en. Yesterday a Pullman sleeper nearly full of delegates to the national encamp ment of the G. A. R , nt San Francisco , passed through this city. Among them was Hon. J. W.

Stojc Hift Cnnh. The hot weather and burglars appear to have conic down upon Omaha nt ono 'fell swoop , " ns it were. The latest job accomplished by the latter was reported all police headquarters yesterday in the shape of the robbers * of Charley Hell- wig's saloon on Cuming street between Twenty second and Twenty-third. The intriuiors managed to gain entrance to the cellar and thi-n went up to the first story , where thny broke Into the cash box and stole $200 in ifioney. There is no clue. Sunday's Uuscunll , On next .Sunday tlio Athletic club of this city will play n game of ball with the Gute Citys which members of the latter say , will bo the most interesting that has yet been phiyctl on the athletic grounds. The Gito Citys claim that they arc prepared to make it a great deal hotter for the Athletics than the Fremont Greys made if for them on the third hist , nt the "prettiest town In the state. " At last accounts it hud not been heard what the Athletics had made up their mind to do with their hopeful antagonists. A Hnrtl Case.

THE "GOLD GUNNY-SACK" MAN. Three alining Prospectors Found Dead In a Wyoming Cnbln , At the head of a dee ] ) < ; uleli at the base of a hijli peak rising from tint great water-si.ed of the Green , Snake"and AVine ri\ers a party of hunters , early this sprlnp , were gathered around and passing in and out of a rotten , falling cabin , writes a Cheyenne correspondent of the St. Louis ( ilotie-lenioerat. A wo and pity were marked upon the rugged , weatlierbeaton countenances , and the rough voices were modulated to tones low if not soft. Lot us enter and see what has produced such nn extraordinary ellect upon thorough rough men of the mountains. It is soon s-een. In rude bunks , still elingitifr to the rotten and falling walls ! , arc huddled in shining , ghastly heaps , the bones of three human beings. Moldenng fragments of blankets still envelop the skeletons and give them an air ol uncanny repose In the long , matted grass which grows rank on the Moor of the hut are half-eoneealed rusting mining tools and mildewed eook- ing utensils , wliilo scattered about in every stage of "looped and windowed niggedness" nro what oneo were articles of wearing apparel. Suddenly some one steps upon nn ob ject concealed in the rank and matted grass , stoops , picks it up , and utters an exclamation , and the otni'r.s crowd about him. The object is a thin broad rock , overlaid with green , damp inoss , through which can be traced some written char acters. Hastily the stone is cleansed from its green and clinging covering and letters of record stand ont sharp and clear. They have evidently been traced by one of tlie skeleton hands lying in ono of tlio bunks , and every one is eager to read. And this is what the graven legend of the moss-grown tablet says : ; 1870. Three miners. Bulled by n snow- : isllde. Winter quarters. .Mine ten miles : : due south. Much gold burled there. Provisions - : : visions all eo'ne. Kxpcct to die. New : ! York men. Names are Lu : And then an abrupt termination , Tlie writer of liis own and his companions' obituary was prevented by sonic cause from adding nnyting ftfrthcr to tlio mournful record. The hunters dug a dcop grave in the floor of the cabin which had witnessed tlio last agonies of the en trapped men , and reverently returned tlio long-exposed remains to mother earth. Tlie party then hot forth , guided by the injunction'Duo south ton miles , " to search for the mine and the treasure hidden there. The search lasted a month without result , and the party came into the railroad , laid in a Mipply of pro visions and will spend the summer in the search. Q'here is no doubt but that the remains found are thosc'of "tho man of the golden gunny-sack" and his two companions. This man is famous in tlio wild traditions of tlio mountains , and his story , or that portion of it known to be true , is as fol lows : In September , 1SC9 , there came into the little station of St. Mary , on the overland stage route , and in the Swcetwater val ley , a man tired , foot-soro and ragged , but who bore upon his back a large gunny-sack full of gold nuggets. Ho re mained at tlio station one night and took the eastbonnd stage. The next spring ho returned with a small though well ap pointed pack train and two companions. The party went toward the mountains of tne great watershed from which the man with tlie golden pack had como in the preceding fall , and nothing was ever heard of tlio party again. A LITTLE-KNOWN ISLAND. A Former Htuint of West luil Ian fluocaiicci'H. AAraslnngton Hatchet : Capt F. M. Ever ctt , superintendent of Navusa Island , , in in Washington spending .1 week or so on business. But few of our people are aware that a company of capitalists and merchants of Now York and Baltimore own this quaint little Navitsii Island in the AArest Indies , about forty-live miles from Saint Domingo and about seventiMlvo from Jamaica. The island was discovered by 15. K Cooper , a Haltimoro sea captain , in 11337 , who quietly took nos.scsbion of it as an American citi/.en , and afterward sold it for a round million dollars. Tlio Ilaytion government attempted to annex tlio island after tlioy saw the Americans were going to make something out of it , but Cnpt. Cooper's conquest hold good , and the stars and stripes lloat over it to this day. Nnvasn Is but three miles long by ono and a half in width. H is ti rock rising lifty or sixty feet out of tlio sea , with grasses and palms growing on its crown. It was no doubt discovered by Columbus. Washington Irving , in his lifo of Colum bus , Rpeaks of ono of the lieutenants of the great discoverer landing with several companions on .Nnvasa in 1501 , on their way from Jamaica to San Domingo in canoes. The island was uninhaiiitcd when the American adventurer hoisted our Mag over it , but pieces of pottery mid stone implements of line finish have been found buried in the phosphate beds , which Indicate that it was inhabited in the past. The French used it for n short time as n convict settlement , during their occupation of Hayti , about IT'.IO. ' it was BOOH abandoned , however , because of buccaneers taking the convicts oil to re cruit their crows.
