SAN FIMNCIICO , Cala. , Nov 21. An ofllcor
of the cruiser San Francisco , speaking of the
operations preceding the capture of Vnlpa-
raUo , salds "Tho number of men engaged
In the opora'.lons are variously stated at from
10,000 to : WOOJ , on each sldo. The truth Is
that the congrossionalists had about 10,000
and Haimaccdn twice that number , besides
between 8,000 rind 10.00J moro within six or
eight hour's ' call. On August 31 , however ,
when the congressional forces were at Con-
con , where the Aconcagua river empties into
the sou , Balmaccda's generals , Alcorcoca and
Bnrbosa , opened the tight with only O.MK )
men , the Santiago and Valparaiso divisions
not having arrived.
"This battle was fought , it was claimed ,
without Instructions ns the ptesident had
ordered the troops to taito up a position on
the heights , of which the fortress Vina del
Mar was the pivotal position , whereas the
river Aconcagua was on much lower ground ,
without any natural advantages of position.
The taking of this position also allowed the
Junta forces to sweep to the loft of the Hol-
macedlsts and follow the coast line around
the ran go hills on which was Vina del Mar
and attack the government troops on their
loft Hank facing Valparaiso bay.
"Our ship and the Baltimore wore both
lying In tbo soutnern portion of the bay ,
.ilmost under the cuns of Fort Pratt. Di
rectly ahead of us waa \ alparalso. while on
our left , across thu bay , was thu battlefield ,
with a range of Mills back of it. On August
U'J , other government divisions had arrived
nnd the heights from Fort Callao to Vina del
Mar were occupied. The cnngressionnlists'
squadron , consisting of the Cochanane , Higgins -
gins , and Aconcueun , appeared off Concon at
7 o'clock in the morning. Fort Callao llrod
the first shot nnd for several hours the com
bat was continued with scarcely any ellect.
These operations lasted until about August
"I , when the congressloimllst's cruisers , 13s-
mcrclda and Cocbrnne , ventured n little
further and attempted to shell Vina del Mar.
Wo watched their opc'rations ami could see
everything very plainly. They llred a largo
number of shell ? , but the fort was not struck
onco. The nearest ono fell about fifty yards
from the base of the parapet.
While the two vessels occupied an advanced
position Fort Pratt , on our right , tired sev
eral shells over us and at the two vessels.
These maneuvers and short contests wore
kept tip for several days. The congresslon-
ollst force gradually crowded the government
11 oops , so that the latter fell back to Pla-
cilla , which was the Hey to Valparaiso. Hero
the llnnl contest took place , and hero most
of the bloody scones wore enacted. "

-Special [ Correspondence of Tin : Uei.J :
From present indications the Uolit Hill dis
trict will have a largo cumber of stamp mills
In successful operation before next spring.
It Is easier to onumotnto the number of
plants that will treat the ores of the district
than to count up the companies now organ
ized and to be formed that will add to and
.swell the output from tbo quarU leads.
If anything like the quantity of
ere is taken out that is reck
oned oti , every company that operates
ut Gold Hill on n , largo scale will bo forced to
include machinery for treating Its product In
the estimate of expenses necessary to Insuto
profitable operation. In other words , the
owners of claims will ho compelled to pro
vide their own stamp mills , because the com -
panics who are now eroctlnir such works or
negotiating for them either have enough ere
in sight to keep their stamps busy or can se
cure rt lartro enough output by the expendi
ture of a little inoiioy to do this. While a
big custom stamp mill would undoubtedly
pay handsome dividends to any
man or company that erected such
works. the inducements offered to
capital by the minors , Who are poor in every
way , except as to the numberniid richness of
their claims , make it an easy matter , at this
time , to form alliances by which milling men
can orgatil/.o companies and acquire a half
Interest In enough property to Ucop their
stamps going on their own oro. Luckily for
the camp the miners were nule to hold on to
their claims and by combining among them
selves , they are In n position to group to
gether n sufficient number of properties to
make It of advantage to capitalists to pro
vide , the requisite machinery to treat the
ores.
ores.That such things are possible is not a mat
ter of mere conjecture. During the past week
an incident occurred that Indicates that n
new era has dawned at Gold Hill. The time
for purely speculative investments has
passed. The opportunities for a man or n
company of men to slip Into the district nuU
got control or tie up promising properties , by
the paymoi.t ot a small amount of money , to
hold thorn against the tlmo when they could
sell out or unload at a profit has gene by.
Representatives of n company organized in
thu east , to operate at Gold Hill , will corrob
orate what I sny in this connection. They
can furnish indisputable proof , from tholr
own experience , that has boon a bitter one ,
as to disappointments. These eastern
men came out here ostensibly to
carry out a compact previously made
with a number of miners , who had
bunched their claims , which they were to
put up against a considerable amount of
money us working capital. Everything went
along smoothly fora whilo. A company was
Incorporated. Both capitalists nnd miners
were elated. Then the whole plan fell
through. That was because the eastern men
were disappointed in finding that the ere
wont WO to * : )0 ) In gold a ton instead of $200
to * 'U)0 ) as > they expected. They sought to
modify their contract and to postpone for an
indefinite period the purchase of a stamp
mill for which they were negotiat
ing. No stamp mill , no claims was
the ultimatum of the minors. Thn
Eastern men hesitated too long. The minors
broke up the trade. The custom outfit will
have to make a deal with somebody else , for
the miners don't ' have to beg or entreat capi
tal now to take hold.
This is vastly different from what It wns
pnlv a few months ago. Then almost any
inducement was offered to whomsoever
would put up the money to develop claims.
But enough development has been done to
demonstrate that there is plenty of mineral-
bearing 010 in the camp that will pay a big
profit to work on the ground. That is why
the promise or provision for a stamp mill is a
pro-requisite to a contract or compact Be
tween claim owners and men with capital.
But It must not bo inferred from what I
have said about bonanza hunters from the
east and their failure to realize high expecta
tions as to the richness of ere , that there
isn't high grade ore in Gold Hill. There is ,
aud plontv ot it.
Anybody who has had any cxperienco in
mining would not only bo satisfied but en
thused over such a return as that which dis
appointed the easterners. Gold minors from
nil over will tell you that $ iO ere is a big
thing if you can run it through a stamp
mill. The profit , after paying the expense
of mining and milling , ought to range
anywhere from $15 up to $17 a ton. With a
California quartz mill of heavy stamps cost
ing SO.OUO 10 $7,000 at the outside upwards
of twenty to thirty tons of ere a day ought
to bo put through. You can Jlguro the profit
yourself nnd the lowest estimate would bo
$0.100 a month and ranging fiom that up to
$15,000 for thirty days. That ought to sat
isfy anybody.
Now the miners have boon convinced ana
hardhoadcd business men have seen for
themselves that Gold Hill ere will pay when
treated ut or near the claim. There are no
drawbacks about getting machinery into the
camp for ten stamps and the boiler and
other parts of nn outfit were last week
hauled into Gold Hill from the railroad over
the Saratoga road in three days. Never was
there a camp with BO many mill sites posses
sing great natural advantages. Timber and
cordwood can bo had for the cost of felling
and cutting , right lu the cumn and almost
within a stone's throw of where n mill is
erected. These are matters that enter largely
into consideration on any proposition for the
erection of a mill. If those do not entail largo
expense then n milling man is ready to go
ahead anywhere that ere may bo In sight to
run his stamps.
If all Gold Hill ores were high grade they
would ho shipped , perhaps , and railroad com
panies got a big share of the profits. But by
treating them right In tbo camp , not only
keeps the money at homo but furnishes em
ployment to many men nnd increases tbo
chances for paving big dividends , It will
make of Gold Hill not alone a place where
mineral is produced , but an industrial point
of consequence. That is better for all con
cerned. It insures a bright future for the
Upper Platte valley , where big crops of nil
kinds can bo raised , and good fortune to
Saratoga , the metropolis and commercial
center of the vallny.
Referring to the cost of working the free
milling ores that prevail , generally , in the
Gold Hill camps proper. It may ho wi > i. to
cite the estimate that was made I Colonel
S. W. Downey a few days ago in louver by
an official of the Edison'Eloctrlo company.
There was published In THE Si'snvv BEE
recently nn interview with Wizard Kdison
In which ho declared that electricity would
era long como to bo depended upon to work
gold mines and produce bullion from their
ores. It seems that the agents of Kdison are
aiieady casting about in this western
mining territory on the lookout for
some field In which to test the great
electrician's theories by putting thorn
and some of his recent Inventions into prac
tical use , Colonel Downey who , as Is well
known , practically has all his mining inter
ests centered In the Gold Hill district , was
among those to whom Edison's now processes
huvo been In part revealed , or so much of the
workings explained us to excite his interest
and a desire to apply the principles In actual
mining and milling operations. When Col
onel Downey came to Saratoga yesterday on
his way up to Gold Hill to look after his ten-
stamp mill on Arastra lake , In the upper
camp , 1 found him "chock full"
of enthusiasm aver the Kdison processes ,
The colonel told mo that ho was convinced
that ere from the mines ho controlled at Gold
Hill could be taken out and thn mineral ex
tracted at a cost not to exceed $1.50 n ton.
This Is about hall what is regarded as the
minimum cost by the most economical meth
ods now in use. At such 11 euros the fortunes
to bo made out of the profits in working our
orc will bo simply colossal.
Athough no definite plans have been deter
mined upon and no spcclllo agreement yjjt en
tered into , Gold Hill bids fair to ho the scone
of u practical demonstration of Kdlson's
electrical mining discoveries ,
What will bervo to reduce the expense of
such an electric system at Gold Hill ls the
abundant , not to say marvelous , water power
that can bo utilized thoro. South Brush
crook , tnat tumbles uown the mountain sldo
and rushes pint the cdmp where there U tbo
greatest activity , wouULIurnlsh sufficient
power to run an clcetrlir plant to operate the
entire district with If lu force were properly
conserved. Then , within too district is the
North Brush crock , tho. ( all of which Is
'
even greater , moro tlm'a 1,000 feet to
the mite for n con ( ilcrablu uis'aucc.
' 1 ho volume of water In ( both those streams ,
while Irirgo nt all so.isooh of the year , Is , In
the springtime , when the huge snow bauks
and drifts begin incltlutf , p porfjct torrent.
This llnod of water oblaln * > iill early autumn
and during almost the on tire period when
the greatest activity prevails la thu district
nnd the gtound Is without , its coating of
snow. _ . , .
Among the other clur is niadc for the Edi
son processes Is the important one of concen
trating ull the force requisite for operating
a district at some "central point.
By means of wires' -nnd electrical
conductors the power can bo distributed to
places some miles remote from there. Such
an nn vantage cannot bo appreciated by otiu
who has never train pod over the mountains
In the Medicine Bow range in winch Gold
Hilt Is situated. The difficulties encountered
in building roads over which supplies and
machinery can bo transported nro not to bo
underestimated. It is n rough nnd rugped
country in which these recent mineral finds
were made.
Although numerous attempts were made
by the Laramlo people to build a road into
Gold Hill and much labor and money was
expended , the tr.sk was fruitless. There Is
no route from Laramlo yet and no possibility
of one being provided this season. As for
the road from Caruou , that doii't amount to
anything. ' 1 ho county spent a lot of tnonoy
on it and citlons of the town ana the coun
try through which it runs contributed moro
to the fund. The road Is a hard ono to
truvcl , even on horseback. Saratoga lias an
excellent mountain road Into Gold Hill ana
the only ono that can be kept open this win
ter. But it cost n heap of money nnd the
miners , saw mill men and others who have
to travel it have put In n great deal of time
and labor on it. This tends to show the
ttoublcand expense Incident to opening com
munication with the different localities
wnoro mining camps have been started or
will bn established.
Should Edison's project prove feasible and
power to run mining machinery , nnd stamp
nulls bo provided from * a central station ,
then there would bo fewer or no necessities
nt all for building w.igon roads to inaccessi
ble camps or now ones. Machinery could betaken
taken in on sleds in the winter by cutting u
way through the timber. At other seasons
ordinary supplies could bo pticiied in , aud
trails are easily and cheaply constructed. So
if electricity is to bo harnessed to the uses of
thu miner and milling man , there could bo a
great saving in time and expense.
A rasn In point presents Itself right now.
An old lake navigator who retired some years
ago , Captain O. L ) . Thomas , c.uno out to Gold
Hill last spring , attracted by the stories of
tlio rich mineral discoveries made there. Ho
spent the season in the district prospecting ,
and did something in tbewayof development
of claims his prospectors and himself lo
cated , and of others that he bought. Captain
Thomas is ono of the men who
helped open up and demonstrate that
the territory on French crook , on
the edge of the Gold Hill district , contains
valuable mineral deposits. Ho is now at his
homo in Turner , ill. , and has Just organized
the French Creek Alining and Milling com
pany , having interested capital for tbo de
velopment of some of his promising silver
and lead-bearing loads. Money is to bo spent
in working those properties. But the com
pany will bo handicapped by the lack of good
roads or in fact roads of any kind for a con
siderable distance. If they could utilize
electric power generated in 0110 of the prin
cipal camps ot the district , what a gavine
could be made I

Gold Hill will border on the fabulous.
In the meantime and until the marvels of
modern science are exhibited at Gold Hill ,
preparations are making for the treatment of
ores by the most approved methods known in
quartz mining. Colonel Downey's ton stamp
mill would have started up this week save
for the failure to receive in season small but
essential pieces of machinery. This una
voidable delay has boon o serious disappoint
ment to the colonel , but more bo to the min
ers and others directly interested in Gold
Hill. Had it not boon for this _ n
good clean-up was anticipated by the
first of thu year. Ono may bo made then ,
after all , for Superintendent "Jack" Martin
of the Downey null thinks that if ho bus
good luck he can got the stamps ready to
begin dropping on or about December 1.
Much depends on the first clean-up on the
pioneer mill at Gold Hill. If it shows up
well not only will claim owners bo encour
aged to ? o ahead with development , but at
leas.t half a dozen other mills will
bo oraored instantor. To Colonel Downey ,
individually , it will moan much. Big or
oven good results will enable him to com
mand moneyed interest and support in n
proloct , the burden of which ho now
shoulders alone. It is no secret that men
well known in the mining world have made
promised aid conditional on the success or
failure from nn Investment stand point of
clean-up No. 1 on the Downey mill.
It has generally boon talked of that Emilo
Gnrnier , the French capitalist , who has
spent over MOOOOOJ on a hydraulic
plant in the Atlantic mining * district ,
in Wyoming , is among the number of thoio
"doubting Thomases" whoso financial assist
nnco will bo at Colonel Downey's command
so soon as he shows how Gold Hill ores will
pan out. The belief is general that the
strings tied to all those offers will DO cut
when the returns are made OH the practical
test of a thirty days' mill run on the ere from
claims In the Downey group.
With larger capital at his disposal the
colonel would bo In a position to employ a big
force of minors and open up hills that are
confidently expected to turn'out rich treasure
bearers. Such a campaign Inaugurated and
the camp , and in fact the whole district ,
would bo lively. Ton stamps only are to bo
started at the outset , but ten moro are on
hand that could bo sot up m n few uays.
Twenty of them would increase the monthly
bullion record very materially , and help ou t
the score for 1893 for Gold Hill.
Tunnels are being driven at the rate of llvo
foot a day on the Lake Side and Acino claims
near Greonvlllo , the lower camp in the dis
trict. Each is now in over 125 foot , ana in
either or both of thorn the loads may at any
time bo tapped. This done , and the work of
taking out ore will bo actively begun. It
will bo easy enough to secure a mill on the
strength of such development and tno oppor
tunities for keeping the stamps profitably
pounding away.
One thing Gold Hill has needed is bettor
mail facilities. With the Introduction of
capital from a distance , it is imperative that
the representatives of companies or in
dividual investors in the camp should bo in
speedy and easy communication with tholr
principals. A daily mail to and irom the
camp would help things out mightily. The
Wyoming delegation in congress has prom
ised to secure this if possibo | and the assur
ances are of such n character that dally ser
vice can bo reckoned on in the near future.

Wabash has been losing business on Its Nl-
tigara Fulls Short line and threatens to meet
the competition by an open reduction of
rates. Chairman Fiulcy has urgently re
quested the Wnbasli to postpone that notion.
Ho has addressed a loiter to the general pas
senger agents of the northwestern line * ,
asking them not to honor any moro of the
split tickets.
Chairman Midt'eloy of the Western Freight
association has been subpu'imed to appear
before the federal grand Jury at .Omaha No
vember UO to tell what ho knows about gro. > s
violations of thu interstate coinmorcolaw. It
Is said that this is to be practically n con
tinuation of thu investigations recently begun
in Chicago , and that more conclusive proofs
of law breaking will bo produced than any
that wore brought to light hero. A form of
manipulation that has , it Is said , been popu
lar with Omaha firms , Is the billing ot freight
to eastern and southern points via
Kansas City. The rate to such points is tbo
same from Omaha and Kansas City. The
allegation is that n car Is loaded with , say
' , ( )00 ) pounds of salted moats at Omaha and
billed to Now Vork. Supposedly It roaches
"
Now York with the same load" , but when it
arrives there It contains i)5,000 ) pounds of beef
tongues and cured moats. Besides the dif
ference In weight , the car is filled with com
modities taking a higher rate than salted
meats. The shipment is traced back , and it
is found that the c.ir has been unloaded and
reloaded nt Kansas City without any chaugo
being made lu the billing.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars , It is
claimed , have boon netted by the interested
firms by the practice of this scliomti , which
could not uf course have been successfully
operated without the assistance or conni
vance of the railroad agents.
Chairman Midgley has also received n sum
mons to appear onforo the federal granil jury
at Kansas City. He will. It is said , try to
avoid going to cither place on the ground
that ho Is under a physicians care and i not
In condition to travel.
An Injunction has been served on the
Atehison road to compel it to carry put its
contiact with the Indiana , Illinois & loiva
road in ronurd to divisions of t'io through
rates. The latter company bad decided to
postpone this action until after the return ol
President Manvol and Vice President
Springer from Denver , but it changed Its
mind on receiving formal notice from the
Atohison that it had concluded to adopt the
basis of divisions ordeicd by Chairman
Walker and his fellow commissioners of the

Nebraska Railroads Have Trouble in
Handling the Immense Crops.
The shortage of cars at all points in the
state is growing to bo a very serious question
with shippers and particularly so with the
farmers in the western part of the state ,
where there was no old groin loft from last
year on which tha farmers could roali/o
enough money to carry them over the rush
for market. These people now have their
grain ready to ship and are moving heaven
and earth in order to soli the result of their
labors and obtain money to pay off mortgages
and other debts.
The demand lor cars is most pressing from
this section , but there is a strong demand
from all parts of the state. All the ronrls are
short moro or less and from three to ton days
nro required to fill orders for cars. Some of
the linns allowed tholr cars to go off their
roads early in the season > ind nro unable to
got them back. The Missouri Pacific , lor in
stance , allowed about C'JO cars to go to south
ern points and the roads , there refuse to re
turn them until after the cotton season is
over.
The Missouri Pacific was short 1,200 cars
north of Kansas City yesterday ana has
been short about 500 cars every ihiy for the
past two weeks.
The Burlington issued order- , the first of
thu wood to refuse all shipments of grain to
Chicago and no shipments huvo been taken
since Tuesday. Yesterday nn orc'or was
issued to resume Chicago shipments.
This road has 2,000 cars on the track in
Chicago loaned with wheat. General Freight
Agent Crosby states that this state of affairs
is caused by thu fact that the whnut grades a
shade below No. U , and consequently the
elevators rate It No. II ana pay only the latter
price for it. The owners then soil the grain
"by sample1' In order to realize a bettor price
ou it , and this delays the unloading several
days. In consequence the yards become
blocked and the roati is short of cars.
The Burlington Is short about 500 cars
every day. on orders.
The Union Pacific is having very little
trouble because it refuses , point blank , to
allow a car to go oil the roads. Shipments
consigned to other roads are loaded in the
cars of that road. This has a tendency to
force a croat donl of grain Into Omaha , Coun
cil Bluffs , Kansas City & St. .loo , where It is
unloaded and passed through the elevators.
The Northwestern road reports very little
difllculty in handling all that comes.
the Union Paoillo.
The action of ox-Prosidont Moffat of the
Denver & Hlo Grande , in diverting to the
Union Pacific tbo Immense- ere shipments
from the mines in which ha Is Interested , has
struck a blow that falls heavily on the Atehi
son road which connects with the Hlo Grande
and It seems President Munvol's ' trip to Den
ver was for the purpose of looking into the
situation and ascertaining whether anything
could be done to recover tbo lost traffic.
Advices from there are to the affect
that the quarrel can hardly bo settled ex
cept by war. Strong efforts will bo made ,
however , by parties interested In the success
of the Western Traffic association to prevent
n disturbance. To this end , It is said , the
question of terming n traffic pool like the ono
now In force at southwestern Missouri river
points will again bo agitated. Such u
division of business would no doubt bo satis
factory to all the roads except the Union
Pacific , but thu latter would only go Into it
under condition that it were allowed the
lion's share of the traffic and It Is doubtful
if any agreement could bo reached as to per
centages.
Chairman Flnloy has preferred charges
against thu Chicago , St. Paul & Kansas City
road , alleging rate cutting in securing the
Minneapolis delegation on its trip to Wash
ington to secure the republican national con
vention for Minneapolis. The complaint Is
made at the request of competing lines which
were defeated In their efforts to get the
party. Officials of the Maple Leaf say they
are prepared to prove that full faro was paid
by the members of the party and assort that

Plttsbiirg forsomo tlmo , yoUorday receive * !
notice from the state department that the
property taken from him by the German
government had been recovered and awaited
his orders. This was a case growing out of
tlio Chilian trouble. AS It had bion pressed
by him to a successful issue lu the State de
partment , Mr. Burns felt free to tell all about
it. Ho said :
" 1 started for Chill on a business mission.
The night of my arrival In Buenos Ayres ,
Argentine Republic , the bombardment com
menced , and insldo of twenty-four hours that
city of 000.000 people was practically knooki-d
out. I left immediately. I reached Santiago
and hero 1 found the lovolutlonists In an
extremely violent mood. Officers of the
United Statei legation advised mo to keep
my room and I spent the night lying on the
floor in n thoroughly sleepless aud thrilling
situation.
" 1 had heard considerable shooting , but
was not ready for the surprise that greeted
mo next morning , wlion I saw forty dead
bodies In front of the hotel in the street. That
morning 1 wns commissioned in tlio secret
sjrvicoby the minister of war of Chill to
present to the proper authorities in any
country my right and title to such capacity.
I made a hurried trip through Chili and then
wont to England. What my mission wns
never has been known , but 1 can now say
that It was for the purpose of procuring nrin <
and ammunition in European countries.
"At Ply mouth , England , ( was cibled to
proceed to a certain city ou the continent
where I could got special munition ! ) of war ,
thu special ones being muskets. At Berlin
the Balnmccdans had plmvd to my credit
bO.OOO ilnemoi. but when I had occasion to
draw nenlnsl It 1 was thrown into prison on
n charge ot being a suspicious chnr.ictcr.
Detectives of the congrcgatiomilisls p.irty
wore on my trail and caused my arrest , but I
was quickly released nnd proceeded to
Frankfort-on-the-Maln , where acaiu 1 was
arrested and released on thu ground of un
supported evidence. The personal griev
ances against the e prisons embraced in my
charges on file at Washington were too hor-
rlblo for publication , Every private
paper I possessed and all my money
and Jovvclry was taken from mo , anJ
1 have never seen any of them since ,
nor boon recompensed in any manner for my
loss , I could not speak German , and conso-
quentlv spent five days in a Ox ! ) foot coll. My
only food consisted of small bits of black
broad. Consul Hosscnbrouk finally secured
my lolcaso and I hastened homo.
"Tho principal griovnncoln the whole mat
ter is against. Germany , but at the bottom of
the trouble 1 place the intonsohutrod of many
of the English people for Amoric.ins and any
thing that is American. Our recent recipro
cal relations with South America has proven
so wonderfully successful , and were such a
matter of pride and comment with mo ami
other American business men , that , to sum
up tlio whole matter although Germany is
responsible for the overt act in the way of
damages I would call the initial prompting
simply a case of hounding by Englishmen. "

A Itomarkahle Suit.
BOSTON' , Mass. , Nov. 21. John Stetson ,
banker , broker and theatrical manager , today
paid to Mrs. Anna B. Everett $110,000 and
thus settled ono of the most remarkable cases
ever tried before a Massachusetts court.
Mrs. Everett claimed that Mr. Stetson was
the proprietor of a swell gambling club.
Known as the Carlotou , on Hamilton Place ,
On the night of November 21. 18SO , Mr.
Jonathan Bourne , Jr. , of Now Bedford , son of
the Ibto millionaire mill owner , bucked the
tiger at the Curloton club and lost $ -5,000 in
ono sitting. Ho was drunk at the time anil
played recklessly. Ho gave his notes to
cover the losses nnd then Kicked about payIng -
Ing them. After ho had sobered oft , to keep
the matter quiet , ho compromised by pay in g
$1 ( > ,000.
One of Mr. Stclsen's clerks , George Ev
erett , knew of this incident and u sod it to
good advantage , for when ho was arrested on
the charge of ombo//.lPinent ho nllngpd that
Mr. Stetson wanted to get nil of him that
ho might not see too much ol what was done
at the Carlotou. There werollfty-six counts
in the indictment uml the jury declared him
not guilty of litty-threo of them , nnd dis
agreed as to the other three. 'IHio case was
placed on the docuot for a now trial.
Then Everett's wife went to his rescue in
a novel way. Them is an old law in Massa
chusetts which gives to any person the right
to sue for money lost at gaming by any
other person , provided the loser does not
bring suit within three months. In case of
recovery the plaintiff is to receive three
times the amount lost. Mrs. Everett
learnoa of this law and she immediately
sued Mr. Stetson to recover $51,000 , which H
three times the amount which Mr. Bourne
lost at gaming , including interest. Mr.
Bourne was not a party to this suit. Ho
would have given that sum to have kept the
matter quiet , but Mrs. Everett tiau a two
fold object in view , and would not abandon
her caso. Mr. Bourne thereupon departed
for Ogaon nnd is there now.
The case was brought into the court and
Mrs. Everett was lu danger of loslnt' it on
her original declaration ; but she discovered
more evidence , which , it is alleged , proved
conclusively that Stetson wns the proprietor
of the elub. nnd also that Mr , liourno lost at
gambling tiio sum named.
There was a long legal wrangle over this
amendment , and a few days ago permission
wns granted her to amend her original
declaration , Thn defendant evidently did
not care to have that now evidence go before
the court and vostorday ho offered to compro
mise. Mrs , Everett refused to listen to any
talk of a compromise until the criminal case
againsthor husband was withdrawn. At S
p. m. today that case was nolle pressed and a
few minutes later Mr. S'.otson's lawyer paid
to Mrs. Everett 10,000 In cash.

General Eslabrooko told of the first sur
vey made of the city by Mr. Jones , who was
