Frank Watson gives the following ac

When the body was exhumed it was
i )und to be covered with black spofs.
Dr. Gibbons, the government witness, |
testified that these were the result of]
mortilicMion and that his examination
of the corpse revealed no marks of vio- j
lence. Tie also testiliod that he lound
the heart nearly gone: that he ran ]
bis linger into it as into a honeycomb, i
ISesaid the man was undoubtedly in]
such condition that he might have
dropped dead at anytime. Dr. Grieve,
the railroad surgeon, gave similar
testimony
The test imony of eye witnesses was|
the same a> given at the coroner’s in
i quest. All agreed that alter an alter
| cation because Nilson vdid not go to
work Welch slapped him once on each
side of the face: that the man sat
down on the edge ol a hunk and a few
moments later stretched out and
seemed to go in a lit. Welch bathed
his fade with water and when he did
not recover sent for Dr. Grieve. Nilson

Hereafter imports ean be landed al
Seward and Mr. Sauers will collect

making Seward a sub-port, from which
vessels can clear. It has already been
promised that. Seward shall bo a sub
port next year some* time.
Some people might think that the
promise could he quickly fulfilled, in
asmuch as it requires only an order
from the secr< lary of the treasury, hut
persons who entertain such a strange
hallucination do not know how man;,
miles of red tape span the distance be

reports and recommendations before'

It would be contrary to all adminis

Anxiously Waiting at Seldovia
About a dozen men for Seattle and
half as many for Seward are at Seldovia, ;
anxiously awaiting the arrival ot the
boat which never comes. This morn-1
in«r k. u. Gray opened his mail and |
found ii letter Iron) M. I'- Davis, a well
known Hope man, imploring him to
send the Portland to Seldovia to take
away a squad of men who are tired of
life in that suburb. The letter came
down on the railroad last, night. Since ,
Mr. Davis left Hope 'he seems to ho j
losing hope of all kinds. He and his j
companions in exile will have to wait
for the Excelsior.
The barometer points unflinchingly
a little above 29, which being inter
preted signifies all kinds of rain.
At 3 o'clock the Excelsior had not
been reported at Valdez.

This was to have been a monthly mail,
