‘ \ BAcIr PROM ALASKA. The Return of a. Steamer \Vith Thirty Discouragod Prospector-s. Seattle, Wash, Sept. 18.-——The steamer Farrallton has arrived from Skagguay and Dyea with 30 passengers _who have given up the attempt to reach the Yu- kon goldfields this winter. C. F. Shaw, representing an English syndicate, ac- companied by a party of seven, took passage on \the Farrallton from Fort Wrangel an all are at Seattle. Shaw has been prospecting in the divide be- tween Cassier-and the headwaters oi the Yukon emptying into Teslin lake. He reports the existence of large quartz ledges of the same grade as the Treadwell, but they .cannot be worked with profit on account of inability to get machinery. Mr. Shaw says that the difficulties would be overcome by the construction of the Cassier and Teslin lake road, which is now being surveyed _ by the Canadian government. Mr. Shaw intends sending in an outfit of 20 men via Wrangel, the Stickeen river and Teslin lake next spring to prospect the more remote districts of the headwaters of the Yukon, immedi- ately adjacent to the old Cassier gold diggings. The placers on this divide have undoubtedly derived their gold from quartz reefs in the immediate vi- cinity, as Shaw had in his possession a quantity of placer gold which is quite unworn an full of quartz. The pursei of the Farrallton says there is a scarcity of boats at Lake Benntee and that they bring upward of $300 each. None of the returning miners had heard of the reported lynching of al- leged thieves on the Skagguay trail by vigilantes.

Dawson is low and flat, and even in the height of summer the ground is frozen half a foot below the surface and ice is encountered beneath the muck. The development of the creeks was followed by the Washing down into the river Klondike and thence into the Yukon above Dawson of large quantities of filth and refuse. ”Passing by the very doors of the in- habitants of Dawson it is no wonder that there should be sickness and death. In the little cemetery there there lay no less than 20 victims of typhoid fever, and now the number has no doubt been increased considerably. The drinking Water atDawson is very bad, and this adds to the sickness.” Damages For Urbana Lynching.

Judge Vincent Objects to Putting His Cl‘l- ent Upon the Stand. Adolph L. Luetgert opened today the cross examination of Professor Dorsey was resumed. He was questioned as to the comparative nature of the sesamoid and femur bones of a calf, of a sheep and a human being. His answers were technical and adroit, but of a character that supported his original identification and testimony with refer- ence to the bones in evidence. There is said to be a difference be- tween Luetgert’s counsel with reference to the defendant taking the stand in his own behalf. Attorney Vincent is not in— clined to permit Luetgert to do so. ' At- torney Phalen believes the sausage maker should tell his story to the jury. Luetgert himself is quite determined to go upon the witness stand. He not only desires to tell his story, but he also wants to address the jury. In all likeli- hood he will testify. State’s Attorney Deneen hopes to rest his case shortly. “I have only two more witnesses,” said the state's attorney. “They are Frank Bialk and Frank Odo- rofsky. By them I shall show the motive for the crime—namely, Luetgert’s in- fatuation for Mary Simmering." A "BAD MAN” FROM THE EAST. R. K.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 18.—A dis- patch from Dale county says that the residents of the piny' woods district 3x miles above Ozark are exercised over the mysterious actions of a stout, dark complexioned stranger, about 40 years old, who made his appearance at that place two weeks ago. He has been living in the wOods ever since and car- ries two revolvers and a. rifle. Yester- day he ventured out to the road, and when asked what he was doing and who he was replied: “None of your business. I’m from the east.” The stranger is well dressed and ex- hibits plenty of money. Last night he began to fire his revolver at random in the road, and one of the shots struck Alex Fabel, a negro, in the chest.
