The sixth, seventh and eighth days of the Emma Bond case, at HUUboro, I1L, were unproductive of any new or startling developments, the time being largely occupied by arguments of counsel touching the admissi
bility of certain evidence. Judge Thornton, grading counsel for tbe defense, made a motion for the discharge of Clement! and Pettis, on the ground, as he claimed, that no testimony had been elicited implicating them in the crime, and pressed his motion npon tbe court with a powerful argument. Judge Phillips, however, refused to view the matter in the tame light that the defendants' able counsel looked at it, arid decided to let tbe case be passed npon by the jury. Tbe ninth and eoth days were devoted principally to the efforts of the defense to establish an alibi, dementi, one of the defendants, first told his story, which was a very straightforward and apparently truthful one. Be accounted elearly for his whereaoouts and movements en the day of the commission of the crime. Pettis corroborated dementi's narrative the two, according to their testimony, having

Friday afternoon a huge mass of snow started from the top of the range and swelled into an avalanche as It descended, striking the building used as a boarding boose, where eleven men were resting. It swept tbe building completely away, crushing and burying tbe mea fifteen and twenty feet under the snow, among the rocks and timber, fortunately missing the engine-hotise. After the noise and confusion the other miners were posted from the shaft and started In search for their comrades, five were taken out alive, but badly crushed, and may die.

A Murderer Lynched at Fetentarg, Indiana.
A. If ob Takes Him from Jail and Hangs Him to a Tree. (Telegram from Yincennca, Ind.l Sunday morning, between the hours of 1 and 3 o'clock, from fifty to seveuty-flre men surrounded tho jail lnPolersburg,Pifco county) tnd., in which was confined young Charlie Harvey, the murdoror of Henry Custin, Jr. Tho front door was broken and unfastened, and a guard was stationed near it, but lis was quickly overpowered. The jailer was it bed, and tho loaders of tho mob crowde Into his room and demanded the ken to the jail doors. Those bo gave up a once, seeing that it was useless to at tempt resistance. The mob marched with tho keys to tho coll where Harvey was con fluod. As soon as ho heard tho nolBo he wat struck dumb with terror. Grabbing hold 01 him tho mob placed a rope arouud his nock, pinioned his arms, and bade him walk ahead. They hurried tho doomed man to tbo edge of tho town, and, arriving at a locust tree, proceeded to bang him up. After hanging him, they placed a card in his hand bearing the words: "More to follow." It is stated that Harvey mado a confession of tho murder of Honry Custin, whioh oocurrcd Friday night. Nothing positive is known, as the men who rocoived the confession aro mute. The confession is said to implicate one of the most desperate characters of Polorsburg. The body hung suspended from the tree from 3 ut'tll 10 o'clock Sunday morning, and was covered with sleot and ice and frozen stiff. Thrco thousand people visited tho scono Sunday. The 'oroner out the body down bi-twecn 9 and 10 o'clock, and rendered a verdict that Charles Harvey came to his death by banging at tho hands of unknown parties. ' Tho crime which young Harvey expiated in so horrible a manner was one of the most cold-blooded murders on record. Henry Custin was employed in the dry-goods storo of Ed Montgomery, and it is supposed tho murderer thought he carried some of Montgomery's money or that ho mistook Custin for Montgomery. Custin was returning home about 10 o'cloek in tbo evening, and was shot almost at his own door. A barber who lived near heard two shots, raised a window, and saw ono man bending ovor tho prostrate form of another. Tho murderor tied, and the dead man w as borne to his home. Tl oso in pursuit wont to Harvey's homo, two miles east of Petersburg, at a village called Alford. Harvey was requested to como forth, and with reluctance put on bis clothes. Ho put on one boot, and then refused to put on tho other. His mother brought his boot from the kitchen, and was noticed rubbing it with her fingers. The , AM ,. . -i. .1 .... r 1. .... 1. .1 u .1 MfliJ
was discovered upon it. Tho boot exaotly
fitted the track of tho man who Shot custin. Harvey was takon to Petersburg. He requested thnt thoy should lock him securely in jail, as ho feared the mob.
AN OCEAN HORROR. frightful Scenes of Despair on s Bum ing Steamer,
Cable dispr tch from London. Tho second engineer of the burned steamer Et. Augustin, who was landed at Shields, tells a heartrending story of tho wreck. He says that when all tho boats had boon filled there were still thirty people, on the bunting ship. The lifeboat, which was already loaded down to the gunwales, was appealed to hy these unfortunates to savo them. Their agonized cries were Irresistible and even the strong desiro for lire, always relfUhly manifest under extreme clroum stances, was overcome, and tho boat returned. The folly of tho attempt was apparent to all. The weight of one more human being, let alone thirty, would bo fatal, but this was forgotten or disregarded and the lifeboat turned her course toward the doomed vessel. She approached as carefully as possible, laboring over tho big seas, only to bo dashed to pieocs, for when near the St. Augustin sho was thrown with lorriflo force against tho sideof the ship and crushed. Nearly all in her were drowned at once. The rest clambered over the sides, catching ovorhanging ropes, and suffered probably a worss fate with those on board. Tho Captainof the St. Augustin, after having his legs cut off by a falling spar, begged of the crew to tie some weight to bin body and throw him overboard. Ho preferred drowning to being burned. Tho crew finally complied, and ho was heavily weighted and thrown into tho sea. The second mato, after his master had gone, became perfcotly frantic, and, pulling his pistol, he put the muzzle into his mouth, and Vent the charge through his brain. Ho fell 'dead in his tracks. These examples were followed by (he rest. Some jumped overboard, others stabbed themselves, all seeming to prefer somo qulckor mode of terminating xistenco than tho horrible torture awaiting jthom from tho rapidly advancing flames, .When the John Williamson hovo to and stood Jby, a perfect hurricane was blowing. Shs nevertheless lauoned a boat contain, jng a volunteer crew and sent it to rtho rescue. When the St. Augustin was f-onched the man in the bow jumped or a dangling lino, but he missed it and wal lrowned. A fecond man mado tho attempt, file was dashed asainst tho sido of the vessel find killed. Two others followed and were tlrownod. Finally a line was fooured and six Jpersons were taken off. This was all that icould bo done. Tho sea ran so high that a .near approach meant certain death, and the callant crew of tho Williamson were obliged To return, leavimr those still on board the
'blazing ship to their fate ! Tho Williamson was meanwhllo driftlnfl faway. Sho made desporato efforts to face !tho storm and keep her boat In sight, but jthey wore almost useless. When sho wai jabout to givo up tho boat was seen coming toward her and tho crew with tho six res oued Inon were with great difficulty taken on board, jriio boat had resouod six persons and bod lost Sour in doing so.

"THE SILVER KING." A Colorado Man Who Thought He Was a a Murderer-Suved by a Child. "Why don't 00 dot up?" The spptikei' was a Iflue-eyeil maiden of 4 sunimerR, aj erfeet littlo fairy, with her wealth of goldm riugUts blown hither and thither by the wanton breeze, and a look in lior liquid eyes already giving indication of the woman's soul and woman's tenderness whielunadotliu pulsations of the tiny heart beat more quickly to the jirniu'itiugs of a humanity found iu even such a wee tliiup: at she. The 'lei's u addressed was a iuagniiieont specimen of lunnlioc.d, or lather would havo bt'ii so considered under other eircumiilances. Tail and of magnificent build, with a faco containing traces of great manly beauty, but disligurpd by many signs of disfiip.it on, lie lay on the ground in a partial stalo of intoxication, from which ho hcemed to bo but just recovering. The pin, -c where ho was lying was iimler a clump of of ton woods on the banks of the Platte, near a beautiful cottage where his little questioner lived. He turned ovor on his side and, resting his head npon his hands, gazed up into tho face of his companion with a look of considerable interest and surprise. "Wl.y should I get up 5" he asked, by way of a reply, rising at the fame time to nearly a s uing posture and gently touching the hand of the maiden as if it wore something too holy to bo contaminated by his lingers. "Co -will dit told and bears might eat 00. Mani'na would like 00 to tomo hon e with me and dit something to ent." "Does your mamma live iu that cottage?" pointing in its direction. Tho little ono sagely nodded her head and, taking hold of his hand, pulled as if assisting him to rise, and afterward led him almost unhesitatingly to the house where her mother stood in tho doorway watching the actions of her darling with some surprise and anxiety. "Mamma, he is told and wants some
thing to cat," was her explanation in her sweet, childish way. Not without some hesitation the lady ace ded to her child's wishes with regard to the uncouth stranger, and he as hesitatingly accepted the invitation to enter the house, as he did so, feeling that he was obeying au impulse which he neither could explain nor account for. With a shamefaced manner, and withal so polite ns to prove that the instincts of a gentleman yet remained in him, ho said : "Madam, I hope you will pardon this intrusion. At first X thought to refuse the solicitations of your daughter, but her winsome manner and something which I cannot- explain impelled me to what I fear you will consider rashness. Yours is the first home which I have entered for a long time. An outcast upon the face of tho earth, without friends or home, I had about abandoned all hope and given myself up to the despair of the lost. Madam, you cannot imagine the shame which now possesses me for the first time in many months. Ones like this little argel, I was innocont, but that time seems ages ago. Horn in a little town iu Wisconsin, I was early possessed wnth a restless spirit. My father died whilo I was quite young, leaving mv
mother with a small competence and two children, myself and a sister several years younger. That I was spoiled was not so remarkable, I was their idol, every whim and caprice being gratified ns far as possible, and thciv was no length to which their love did not carry them in lavishing its wealth upon the ' unworthy object. Nothing happened to mar the peace of our home until I had reached the age of 20, when a series of events occurred whioh brought misery and despair to the once happy household. I had acquired habits of the most pernicions character, all unknown to my dear mother, and one night in a quarrel over a game of cards I struck a companion with a chair and supposed I had killed him. In the moments of remorse and fear following the deed, but one one idea possessed me that of escape. I fled, and found myself eventually upon the Pacific coast, where I shipped in a whaling vessel. After weeks of stormy weather we were wrecked upon the shores of Alaska. I here met a party of gold-seekers and went with them a long distance up the Yukon river, where fabulous deposits of the precious metals were said to exist. In shooting one of the falls of the river our boat was dashed to pieces, and myself and companions barely escaped with our lives. After enduring unspeakable hardships and having several encounters with the Indians, wo eventually reached Sitka, where we obtained some assistance from tho United States authorities. A vessel was about to sail for San Francisco, aud I shipped on her, agreeing to work my passage. After reaching San Francisco, I tried in vain to find employment, and went up the mountains, where I gained a precarious living washing for gold. After a while, however, I was rather more successful, and, with a little money I had saved, inclosed a considerable tract of ground, and engaged in the business of fatten
ing cattle for others, gradually acquir- - . : -l 1 i . r '
tug a cunsiueruuto neru 01 my uwn. Fortune now seemed to settle on me, until ono day there was a terrible freshet, and the water poured dowu the canons and on my ranch, drowning i.ll my cattle, and washing fences and buildings away; in fact, I was again ruined. Wandering through tho country, I have been alternately tngaged as cattlo-herdcr and minor, baroly making a preoarious living. At last I found my way to Denver, where habits of dissipation, contracted during my wanderings, havo placed mo lower than the boasts. Had I not net your little daughter, I should probably, in a fit of remorse, have shortly made way with myself. As it is, there is nothing for me to live for," concluded the man, with a sad, despairing sigh. During his narrative the lady's eyes nover left his face, and at its o. nelusion sho came toward him, and, in au agitated voice, asked the names of his mother and sister. Imagiuo her surprise upon learning that the miserable outcast boforo her was her only brother, who had been mounted as dead for a number of ytars. Their mother had died shortly after the assault upon his companion, which had driven him from home, but from whioh the victim bad not died, as the wanderer supposed, but had recovered, and, fully as remorseful as liis assailant, had reformed from his evil ways, become a useful citizen, nnd had married tho sister of the man who thought he had killed him, and is at this time actually engage ! in business hi Denver, and is ono of its most honored citizens. The brother fouud a homo at last and employment in tho store of his sister's husband, and a happier family does not exist in Colorado to-day than those reunited ones. Denver NeiOs.

SAMHO'S PECULIARITIES. His Love lor t'lili kens, 'Fossum, Halls ol Justice and the Watermelon. Tho love of t'10 plantation hand for fried chicken has passed into history. It is no longer a dim tradition, but a well-proven fact. It seems a littlo bit singular that any one race should have au abnormal appetite for any one, thing, but the negro's devotion to cliickcu proves the sublime nature of his devotion. If there ore no chickens which he can take handily, ho will spend his last cent in tho purchase of one, but ho will only do tlrs us a last contingency, and always under protest. To raise chickens anywhere near a colony of negroes is an impossibility; not even tho feathers will remain to decrease tho margin between profit and loss. As an old sinner told me : "Dar's no use donyiii' hit, ef Ize goin' home from do 'vival nn' I hears a chicken whicker like an' dor's nobody 'roun' Izo gwiuo climb dat fence .suah." How the negro doe love a 'possum! That sly beast who loves tho night rather than day, because its deeds are evil, is very dear to the African heart. An old colored friend of mine an exmember of the Legislature says : "Take er nice fat 'possum, parbile him, roas' him, sarb him up with sweet taters an graby, and, gentlemen, hit am good!" All scenes of law have a great fascination for tho negro. The court-room even of a Jnstico of the Peace has a sort of sticking-plaster power over him, and tho most trivial cases find him an eager spectator. When the United States court is in session he is in his glory. Ho tills tho seats with lib d'rty, greasy anatomy, listens open-mouthed to the lawyers, takes an occasional nap, and chews peanuts nearly all the time. He is tho first one in the court-room and the last one to leave it, and he regards the prisoner on trial with a huge grin of admiration as the center-piece of the legal entertainment. He onstitutes himself a part of the paraphernalia of justice, and when the prisoner is sentenced, he follows him to the door of the jail as a guard of honor. Tho spectacle of law thus vindicated does not deter him in the slightest from tho commission of a crime. He rather has a vague longiug to see himself occupying tho principal role, and awaking like interest among his brethren. Watermelon season op.ms up a long vista of delight unto the negro. Givo him a forty-pound melon and a sunny nook and he will thank God for nothing else. He will devour it to the
outer rind, seeds and all, and then lie
down on tbe roadside, with a sun of vnlimited power beating full upou him. He will eat melons ripe, half ripe or green, and they seem to havo no ill effect upon him. Watei melon growers have to guard their melons at night
with shot-guns to keep tho exile from Afric's suuny fountains from eating up all the profit. . Sugar cuue is another favorite in the domestic economy of the negro. When he has a nickel ho will buy it stalk, but if he lives near a nourishing patch, he won't spend his money foolishly, but he will havo the sugar cane all the same. It is a funny sight to see a huge fellow 0 40 years or so, sitting on the public corner with eight feet of sugar cane iu one hand and a largo knife in another, cutting and chewing as if his own salvation and the country depended on it. He is the happiest fellow in the world, a true child of nature, and nature takes the lxst care of him. When the watermelon season ends, conies the blackberry, then the sugar cane and the por&iminon and the "gcober" is always on hand. Holidays he will liave, and no one knows better how to employ them. Having but little regard for the interests of his employer, ho has not the sligiitest care as to whether the holiday he enjoys affects that person injuriously or no, and money is no temptation to him to continue at work while the others aro enjoung excursions, camp-meeting or a general loafing. Should a circus come to town, he will at once drop all work, no matter how pressing it may be, and walk twenty, miles to where the vast canvas is spread, perfectly happy if he gain admittance to its awesome wonders by carrying water to the gyasticutus. If he can't do this he will hang around all day, listening to the music, the oratary of the side show, tho subdued roar of the waugdoodle, and the braying of the educated jackass. It is singular, but true, that the negro always lias money for an excursion. No matter how dry and rusty the fryingpeii may be, he always has money 'for "a ride on de keers." With a sublime faith in Providence, he will go 100 miles from home on an excursion, trusting to somo unknown combination of circumstances to furnish him with eatables aud drinkables while he is away. Ho will take no "sass" from his employer, nor is he as a general thing wiliing to do anything not mentioned in the original agreement. Should you speak sharply to him for any cause, the chances are that he will leave you at once, regardless of the fact that he may not have a penny in bis pocket, or a meal of victuals in his house. He must bo treated as if he were a spoiled child, coddled and flat- i tered; a course which is mighty unpleasant to contemplate, but with the majority of them absolutely necessary. The great dread of the negro is to be "conjured." He believes that the j various aches and pains with which he may at times be afflicted are the results of conjuring him by some enemy. Hamilton Jay, in Detroit Free Press.
Looking for Her Sou. A woman has just been hunting through Connecticut for a son whom she had supposed to be dead for many years. While living at Hartford many years ago she qnarroled with her husband, who spirited her baby away. Tho couple went to the West, and tho mother was told that tho child was with friends and that in a few years she might como for it. Then they separated, and tho mother supposed the boy dead until sho got a chance intimation that ho was alive. Tho woman was very poor, but she worked from this clew until the story was unraveled. Tho boy was fonnd, when about 4 months old, under a tree, and adopted by a substantial fanner. Hut lie was really dead when tho mother gained this information.
