AVlinlcnnlo Urunknrtl'H Crime. There Is great excitement in Fresno , Cnlft. , over the trial of Dr. V , O. Vincent for the murder of his wtfo last December. His wife , Mrs. Anna TJ. Vincent , began ault for divorce against him December II ) , on the ground of Ills hnbltual Intemperance and ox * trcmo cruelty. The papers were served on the same day. Vincent inked the constable to Intercede for him and have his wife con sent to u dismissal of the suit , stating thnt ho would never allow the salt to come to trial. Flvo days Inter , on tbo 18th , Vincent met Fred Currnu on the street and asked linn to lend him a pistol. Ho stated thnt u dog had bitten htm on the leg and that ho wanted to kill It. Currau refused to comply with his request , whereupon Vincent walked Into the gun store of C. llirsshoy , of which Gurran is the clerk , nnd by telling the same story Induced the proprietor to loan him a pistol. Ho examined sovcrnl pistols before Hading ono to suit him , saying that some were too largo , others too hard on trigger , etc. Upon securing the pistol Vincent stepped Into n hack and In structed the driver to take him to Mrs. Vincent's residence. Ho entered the liousowithout knocking and walked to the rcur room , where his -wife , Mrs. Kodgars and Btre. Keed wcro engaged In sowing. Ho asked to tea his wife , motioning to another room. Mrs. Vin cent refused to go until Mrs. Uodgers con sented to accompany her. Upon entering the parlor Vincent asked his wife If she had decided to dismiss the divorce proceeding. > Upon tccclvlnga negative answer ho dmv from his pocket a small phial containing a clear liquid nnd said , KVcll , take thnt. " Mrs. Vincent refused and Vincent drew his revolver and shot twlco at his wife , telling Mrs. Rodgers that if she moved bo would shoot her. Mrs. Vin cent staggered Into the room which she had Just left and received a bullet In the baclt as she entered the door. Vincent pur sued bis wife , who fell on the iloor , and ho tbcn went to the prostrate form , and holding the pistol close enough to the body to burn the clothes and llosli , 11 roil another shot , which entered just below the left nipple , passing through the body and lodging In the lloor , from which It was afterwards exlrnctcd. Vincent was arrested in the same room with the dead body of his wife a tow moments after the tragedy. On the trial now in progress no little sur prise was Treated when the dufonso called Vincent to the stand to testify In his own bo- half. It was generally bclloved that ho would not bo called ns a witness. Ho was not the least embarrassed , and frequently nskcd the Indulgence of his counsel to allow tilm to go ou La Ido the case and relate Inci dents In his life which could have no bearing on the Issues involved. "I am n hard drinking man , " snld the wit ness In reply to questions. "I have been a drunkard tor twenty-live years. I drink whisky bccnuAO I like It. 1 maclo an cstl- inato lust night of the amount of whisky I have drunk during my lifetime , and I place It t 000 gallons , or iiftcon barrels of fort } ' gallons each. I base my es timate upon the fact that I havtftakon for twenty-live years from twenty-ilvo to forty drinks per day on an average. For the past ten years I have been taking chloral to steady my nerves. On ono occasion I had delirium trcmcns. I como down from San Francisco four days before the killing. The first nlghb nftcr my arrival I slept In a saloon. I remember - , member nothing which occurred afterward until I ciimo to my senses In the couaty jail. I don't remember purchasing the pistol ; don't remember asking Mrs , Ro'dgors to see my wife nnd have tbo dlvorco suit dismissed : don't remember the killing of my wife nor being arrested for that crimo. "I was lying on a cot In the jail about U o'clock when 1 chanced to put my hand out nnd saw blood on it. I wondered how it came thcro , nnd about this time Ur. Mauplii cnmo in and told mo I had killed my wife , 'i'hls Is tbo first Information I got on the subject. I loved my wife , nnd when I wont to the house that day I hud no intention of killing her. " On cross examination tbo witness stated that within twenty-llvo years ho hod had charge of several drugstores as prescription clerk and superintended that department , hut was never so drunk but that ho could do his work. Ho was a praduato of the Cooper medical college of San Francisco ana had practiced his profession about ten years. Serious CiinrgeH Against ix I'roaohor. Hov. S. J. Fleming , a well known Motho- cllst preacher , nnd prominent in Chautauqua matters , was arrested in Los Augoles , Gal. , lost week , on complnlat of Annie Petersen , a Danish servant girl In his employ , on a charge of attempted assault. Tlio alleged crime was committed on March 11 , during the absence of Fleming's wife from homo. It is also claimed that whoa Mrs. Fleming was told of her husband's fault that sbo bclloved tbo story and tuolr relations have since boon strained. A further feature adds sensational interest. It seems that when Fleming's con duct was discovered by bis wife , Flomlnc asked her brother to Intercede for him- , which the latter promised to do , with the stipulation that it was to bo only for the purpose of giv ing him n chance to establish his Innocence. The snmo morning it Is said that Fleming called nt tbo house where his brothor-ln-lnw roomed and went to bis room. He loft shortly nftcr. Some time Inter the landlady entered the room and found her lodger asleep. His els tor went to his room afterward and dis covered that an attempt had been made to umrdor him by saturating the bodclothlng with chloroform nnd drawing thorn ever the victim's head. When the latter recovered consciousness ho could clvo no account of his narrow escape from death. The affair created a great sensation , as only a short time ago fleimng was tried before - fore the church committed for misappropri ating funds amounting to ffiOCO. Fleming was released on $5X ( > 0 bonds. Mrs. Flem ing's maiden name was Minnie Lyman , and Bho Is a daughter of tha Into N. E. Ly man of KocKford , 111. , who was president of tbo People's bank of thnt plnco. Miss Lymun became acquainted with Fleming whllo on a 'visit to n schoolmate nt Los Angeles. An cngatromcnt soon followed , which culminated In an elaborate wedding ntthoLyman resi dence hero. While Fleming w&s visiting with tbo family Mr. Lymau died very sud denly of apoplexy. The widow soon disposed of her property , und of Into has been making her home In California. Soon after the mar- rlago of Miss Lymnn , her friends In. Illinois heard thnt Flaming had had trouble in Pennsylvania , and tnat ho was only recently divorced from his wife in that state. For the suko of the family , It Is said the matter , whtoh was quite thoroughly ventilated in the Keystone state papers , was suppressed in the local dallies. Fleming claims that all the charges are part of a conspiracy that has been oa foot for years to ruin him. Ho denies everything nnd states that bis wife bus boon taken from luni by his uncmles , nnd that bo cannot got to her to speak or talk 10 her. Fleming's friunds have the utmost conlldenro In his ability to clear hlmsolf. He has suit vending against E. II. Wlnatis for $30,000 lor defamation of character. Some weeks ngo his financial transactions lu connection with thu Kcdondo Bench Chautauqua associ ation , of whlrh ho was agent , wow Investi gated by a number of ministers and bo was exonerated. Now on the heels of that trou ble comes these overshadowing difllculttes. lilown Up by ( limit 1'owdcr. The Kllu mine , rltuatod nt the foot of Idaho street la Butte , Mont. , was the scene of a frightful explosion last Thursday morning ' ing , by which Walter Trcstrall was fright fully Injured. Joseph Stuart and Uoy Cru in , who were working with him , wore badly shocked by concussion. When work was re sumed that morning only Walter Trcstrull , Joseph Stuart and Uoy Cruin wont down , tolling with them eigh teen sticks of ginnt powder to save climb ing the ladder during the day. This powder was placed near the puuip to thaw out , und work was commenced lu the level about ( Ifteen foot nwuy. About 8 o'clock Treslrall put in u shot , which ho warned Ills com rades was unusually heavy. Trcstrnll and Cruui climbed the ladder about ( ortv-llvo foot , whllo Stuart went back Into tbo level , where ho thought he would bo safe. When ' .the "shot was llrcd the powder all wont with it and a fright- full explosion followed , filling the shaft Cl'U flying pieces of rook and timber ) , shat tering the pumpi Into fragments nnd lift ing the roof entirely oil from over Its mouth. The concussion wus so strong wboro the two men were hnnemg upon the ladder that Tnntrnli was torn from it and fell back to the bottom of the shaft. Cruin fortunately was nblo to retain his hold , but It was only by tbo most violent exertions , the force of the blast being sufllclont to tear his jacket Into ribbons. Immediately after the explo sion the powder fumes uoiran to rlso so dense that it was with dlfllculty that Crum was able to climb out. Stuart had been ter ribly shocked nnd almost stunned by the con cussion , but managed to crawl out through the smoke and up the ladders. It took the men n few minutes to recover , nnd then they went back down the shaft to bring up Trost- mll. Ho was found stretched across n pile of timbers at the bottom of the shaft uncon scious from , the combined effects of the fall nnd smoko. Ho had been working in the Ella but two shifts. Now Line Over tlio Sierras. To cncourago the construction of a railroad across the mineral belt of Nevada , the legis lature of thnt state has pr.ssod a law of great Importance. The Ccatral Pacific fought it with all the power It could bring to bear , but failed. The state and the law loans the rail road company the credit of the various coun ties to the amount of $3,000 per mlle in 5 per cent bonds , nnd the taxes against the railroad go to pay the Interest nnd principal of the bonds. Tbo amount Is suftlclent to grade n road across the stato. The coun ties named extend from the Utah to the Cali fornia line , and evidently the route in mind Is from Deep Oreck to lleckwlth's Pass. Commenting on this law , the Salt Lake Tribune says editorially : "That charter which the Air Line company has received for a railway subsidy through Kovada. reminds us that with their bonds cashed the money will grade the road through the whole lougth of the state of Nevada , which Is nearly half the dUtnuco to San Francisco bay. The distances would ho about as follows : From Salt Lake to Deep Creek , 1(50 ( miles ) from Deep Creek to Cavson City , 400 miles , or to Wadsworth , 380 mlleo , from cither place to Orovlllo , via Bcckwlth's Pass 100 miles , and thence to Sun Francisco buy , 100 miles , or n total of SOU to 820 miles. On the whole route thcro would bo difficult grading for only about twenty-five miles itown Feather river , below Indian valley. The route from Orovlllo to Indian vulloy has been surveyed. If wo remember correctly it Is sixty miles ; the heaviest grade Is eighty feet to the mllo. nnd It is all 1,000 feet lower altitude than tlio Central Pncillo above Trucltee , and all undo. ' the heavy snow belt. There would be a little lllllng beyond Orovtllo tutd prob- ablv two or three briugos. On this side there would bo a long but notdifllcult or costly grade up the Toyabo mountains , In the region of Austin. The rest of the way is all plain tailing , and the road should bo built and fully equipped for Si'i.WO per mile , or possibly for WJ.OOO per mile. That moans $20,000,000. $ It moans a road through the mineral belt of Nevada ; It means on outlet to the West coast.,1 American Intiot1 * or Tin. The now furnace of the San Jacluto estate , limited , for reducing the cassiterito "black tin" obtained from the Temescal tin ores , lu their test mill lately erected at Cajulca , was started last week , nnd proved a great suc cess. The fuel used was oil , nnd the heat ob tained was very great and under perfect con trol. The furnace la every way proved a de cided success , the bars of tin obtained from thin first effort b lng pronounced first-class by Captain Harris , a Cornwall tin export of great ropulo sent out by the company to wit ness the now method of .separating , dressing and smelting of these ores. The ere was concentrated - contratod onu fruo vannorand handled but once from the battery to the furnace. The cos ting of the Ingots was witnessed by Colonel nel E. N. Robinson , general manager of the estate , Captain Harris , Prof. Motley , the de signer of the furnace , the ofllcors of the com pany and several gentlemen from TUvorsido nnd Los Angeles. The manner of dressing the tin ere hero and the USD of oil for beat Is entirely now , nnd it Is in every way a great success. A large amount of cassltorlto has been accumulated and mudo ready for smelt ing. The test mill Is Working finely , and work on the largo mill and hoisting works is rapidly progressing. Papa Novcr Saw His Ilaby. \Vtllhim B. Gulll of San Francisco has begun a habeas corpus proceeding to got pos session of his infant daughter , whoso tin mo ho docs not oven know. Ho has not seen bis wife since May 5 last , ho says , and all because of the Interference of his wife's mother , Mrs. Schllgran. Judge Sanderson issued the writ prayed for , and In response the grandfather of the infant , Charles Schilgraa , appeared la court and told the whole story. It seems his daughter married Gill , the petitioner , against the wishes o ! her parents. They lived together two days at San Jose , whore the ceremony took place , and tlior. tbo girl returned to her homo , Again a few weeks later sbo returned to bcr.hus- baud and lived with him six weeks. Then she went homo , or was taken homo by her parents , nnd has not scon her husband since. The father said ho was willing to let his now son-in-law call upon Dora , or to let them.livo together , but ho admitted thnt the mother did not agree with him. The husband claims that bis wife is kept from him against her wishes by her mother. Ilocantly a baby win born. The proud father wants to see the woo thing , but the stern niothor-lti-law refused , arid so the father got out a writ of habeas corpus commanding the infant , to bo brought into court. 1'rcsldcnt. of Stanford Unlvnrsltr.

Governor Irwlu of Arizona has offered a reward of $ W for tbo apprehension of Man uel finca , who recently deliberately shot to death Matlas Analla for an alleged Insult , and that he would give an additional reward of fcW ! for the capture of Bam. Tha mur derer has a bad rrcorti for killing , und seems to thirst for blond. Lut unimer ono or the sheep herders of Louis Hen- ning was killed m the White moun tains , in Aparibn county Ills comrades burled him without notifying the author ities or going through the fornullty of an In quest. It now turns out that Ilaca one day rode among the herds and calling Antonla Apoduca from tlio gang , pulled bis pistol and shot the unsuspecting man dead In bis tracks. Soon afterward the murder was re ported to Mr. llentiing and bo Informed the ofllcers.who made a visit among the herders , and when asked who uld the shootluc , they remarked : "Oh , he shot himself. " It ap pears thnt the hsrdora hold Ilaca In dread , and would rot tell the correct story of the killing. The body was roughly dumped into the eroucd , aud was a feast for the coyotes uiid buzzards. out Oliureh Some mouths ago Presiding Elder V. A. Rurdlck called a meeting in Aberdeen , S. I ) , , of all the Methodist pastors in the Aberdeen district , and put before them the plan of sow ing acres of wheat for the liquidation of church debts. The pastors took to the Idea , and after n talk with their people found that the fnnnors would furnish the land and do the work if the church would furnish the seed. Tbo general societies of the church , which bnvo their head quarters In the cut , then took hold of the matter nnd shortly announced that the money for the seed should bo forth- coming. Kov. Air. llurdlck says : "Wo hope to have at least forty acres of wheat on every charge In the Aberdeen district nnd oa some as many ns sixty. .As a matter of foot the church at Bath bus already started the ball rolling with sixty acres. Tholncomo from this source will bo applied altogether toward the payment of church debts , and I confi dently expect to sco several cleared away before fore another winter. " New Tjcnno for jVrlr.nun. The sixteenth legislature of Arlzonia ad journed after a sixty-days' session.

United States Senator Suoup o f Idaho was the central ilguro In a rather romantic Inci dent in Pittsourg recently that has only just como to light. It seems that during tbo late war the Slump family lived In the south , and the present senator nt the time the trouble began joined tbo Union array. The other members of the family drifted apart , and ono sister went to Allegheny , the resident part of 1'ittsmirg. She lost nil trace of the others , aud finally , bellovlng them all to bo dead , she married Alderman Harrington of Allegheny , who before fore many years committed suicide. Later she married Councilman McAfee of Alle gheny. A few months ago she saw the name of Senator Shoup m the papers , and thinking he might bo a relative , wrote him , and was pleasantly surprised to llnd ho was her brother. Ho had gone through the war , been governor of Idaho territory , and Inter became senator. Ho has been on a visit to tils sister and not only told her of two otuor surviving orothors , but assured tier of her title to a sbaro in tno family estate , amounting to many thousands of dollars. Forsaken by tno Saints. The death of Mrs. Amelia C. Rhodes attho , county Infirmary , at the ago of seventy seven , and her burial In a pauper grave , reminds some old citizens of nn Incident which hap pened some twenty odd years ngo , says the Salt Lake Tribune. She and her husband came from Denmark at an early day , devout Mormons , and were in hi * time willing sub jects of Brigham Young1. Rhodes became possessed with a largn amount of gold at ono time and was asked to turn it over to the great prophet , seer and revelator of the kingdom of God on earth , so brother Rhodes took somothlng ever sixty pounds of gold to Brigham and laid it nt his foot as a free gift , and of course it was taken in. The moral of this will bo fully understood by all old residents , whllo the newer citizens can ilguro out how much good that sixty odd pounds of gold would have done the old lady in her last days , nnd saved her from becom ing a county charge. f jiving Tomb 1'ura Duy. A twelve-year-old boy named Hutchlnson who lived with his fatboy between Kibbey and Monarch , Mont. , recently started out on foot across the country. Ho becoming be wildered by the blinding snow , lost tus way , nnd la crossing a coulee partly filled with snow was submerged by a high mass of snow which slid down upon him and being unable to extricate himself was .frozea to death. At least that Is the theory advanced , judging from the position In which tbo body was found , and also to the fact that the spinal column was broken. Mr. Hutchinson who had given his boy up for -lost after spending all the week in a fruitless search for some traro or vcstlgo of him , happened to bo in the same eoulco and attracted by a dark object which the melting snow exposed was horri fied by discovering the frozen body of his lost son. From tbo Immense amount of snow on all sides a snoiv-slido must have entombed him. Wont " \VronR After a fardon. The latest abscondcr from Tacoma is Wal ter E. Qualfo , who has been In the employ of Phil A. Wood , a wholesale liquor man. Atone ono time ho was purser on ono of the Pacific Coast steamship company's ' steamers. Ho had recommendations from nil tils old em ployers , but they were probably Icnorant of ills real moral character. He asked for a half-day's absence , but has since failed to re turn to tbo oflico. As ho was not back by the evening of tbo next dav his em ployer became alarmed. Examination by an export accountant 'sbows that Quaifo Is at least 52,000 behind his accounts. About a yonr ago Qualfo was committed from King county for wlfo-beatlncr. Ho was subse quently pardoned by the governor for that offense. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Scalded While Skating.

Charles Johnson n grave-digger at Mount Moriah cemetery , Butte , Mont. , was found upon tbo bed In his cabin , within the grounds , ono morning last week , with a frightful gash In bis throat , which had evidently caused his death several hours previous. Judging by the position of the body , Johnson stretched himself upon the hod , nnd opening the small blade of his pocket-knife , plunged It into the right side of his neck. Then , with wonder ful determination , ho had drawn It half across his throat , severing the jugular vein. After this , with equal determination , ho had lain without a struggle and bled to death. Drink ing uiid gambling had made him tired of life. llrllllanc Yankee huhcnic. A man who llvos la Negates , just across the Arizona line In Old Mexico , has a bril- liaut scliomo for evading the high tariff on opgs.

Several months ngo George Montgomery , an experienced minor well-known in tha Wood river region of Idaho , was on a pros pecting trip In the region to the southeast ward of Death valley. The road afir leav ing SnnBornnrdliio city runs through tha Cnjon pass nnd then strike. ) off In n north easterly direction across the Alojavo desert , passing Hasting Springs , the Kingston mountain * mid then traversing the I'ahnimp vnllov. This valley lies just on the boundary line between California and Nevada nnd 1ms a general nortwesterly and southeasterly course , the Kingston mountains lying to tha west and the I'ahrump inmpo to the cast. While prospecting in the mountain last named and at the upper end of the valley , Montgomery made a discovery early In .Tan. unry which hears every Indication of being tlio long souchtRreyfoglo mine , or , at loust , ono exactly similar. lut ) the location answers to thnt given by Uroyfoglo , while ) the gold has been found Just as ho said so. plentiful that It could bo dugout In nuggets with a knlfo. One lodge located by ftlontpomory is eight feet wide , and'tias boon tweed by Its outcropping - cropping ! for a distance of t',000 ' feet. In the decomposea surfnco rock the gold Is found al most HUe plums in a pudding. Pieces of quarts picked out nro from a quarter to n half bright yellow gold , whole , with a hand-mor tar , the lucky discoverer pounded out in a short , time n. yeast powder can full of nuggets ol various sl/es , .All along the ledge f rco gold is found lu qunntltlo. , that astonish the oldest prospectors ana which seems scarcely credible. After making several locations Montgom ery sprcnd the news of his discovery , the ro- suit being thnt sonin thirty to forty minors are now at work In the valley , whllo others nro hurrying In from various direction. Montgomery himself packed up as largo a quantity of tha richest specimens as ho could carry and made his way across the do > ert. to Dageett , the nearest railroad point , 100 , mlles away. From there ho went to San l rancisco , whore ho is getting tools , supplies , etc. , to open the mines. Ho will return , put up a small mill and go to work getting out oro. The mines , Montgomery says , nro the rich est ho over saw , and ho Is sntisllotl that ho can realize n fortune by working them him self. There ought to bo plenty of placer gold in the pulches leading from the ledges thnt have b'con discovered but no effort has been made to find any.
