During the trial of n contested will cease In tbo Superior Court at Chicago last week' u number of women being the contestants, much ill feeling was dovoloped. When Hon. Judgo Jameson roso to retire for lunch, ono of tho contestants, no longer nblo lo govern her anger, struck another with her fist. Tho blow was returned, then hair pulling was indulged in, until, in a few minutes eight women, ono of them 70 years of age, were Involved in the fight. The at torneys for the contestants separated the principal clients by seizing them by tho waists, and tho leapperanco of the Judgo finally restored quiet, though scratched faces uud torn clothes gave evidence of tho fray. Tho trial of General Secretary D. R. Jones, of the Coal Miners' Association, for conspiracy in inducing the coal miners of the Waverly Coal Co., to strike, which has been )n progress for several days at Greens burg, Pa , was concluded Monday evening, the Jury finding Jones guilty as indicted. Tho trial lias created great Interest among tbo working classes throughout tho country, especially thoso connected with labor unions, who look upon tho case as one involving a broad principle. Tho conviction is consid cd as a direct stab at all such organizations und establishing a precedent whereby other oflicers of leading trades' unions may bo prosecuted. Iu the Reading Railroad contest the Circuit Court o! tho United States, l'hiladel phla, Monday, made u decision the effect of which is lo suspend all matters in litigation, uud leave tbem in statu quo until after the stockholders' meeting and election, on March J4. The Court, In the first place, revokes to much of its order of November 18th as authorizes the deferred bond scheme. In the second place the Court continues the further hearing of the case until March 25, ami orders that until the decision of tho ease tbo Reading Railroad Receivers and Man agers aro restnincd ironi doiug anything whereby the Reading Company moy be bound touching the deferred bund plan or the proposed $150,000,000 loan. At the same time no rights ore to bo forfeited, but all matters concerning tho deferred bonds are to remain. as they now are. It is evidently the intention of Couct to await the result of lho Reading election, on March 1 1th, before finally disposing of the questions as to the legality of the deferred bonds and the $150, 000,000 loan. At the municipal election in Philadel phia, Tuesday, the voto was the highest ever cast at u purely local election in that city, and, with the exception of the vote at tho Presidential election oflSSO, it is the highest ever cast ou any occasion. The total vote on Receiver of Taxes, according to the returns received, was 151,451; on Mayor, 150,805; on City Solicitor, 150,837. John Hunter, Independent Republican, en dorsed by Democrats, is elected Receiver of Taxes by a majority of 26,110; Samuel G. King, Independent Democrat, endorsed by Indeeudciit Republicans, is elected Mayor by a maiority of 5538; und William Kelson West, Republican, is ro clected City Solicitor by a majority of 20,802. Mr. West's majori ty represents the Republican parly majority as nearly as may be, 20,802; and this added to Mr. Hunter's majority of 20,1 10, make au aggregate of 40,978, and this, in turn, shows 'tho extent to which all the "bosses" of every kind were defeated at Tuesday's elec tion in Philadelphia. Thxs people have as serted their independence in most emphatic form and substance. The Hon. Fernando Wood died at Hot Springs, Ark., on Sunday evening, aged 08. His death is due to gout, complicated with rheumatism. Mr. Wuod was born in Philu delphia, on June 11, 1812, the day upon which President Madison's Cabinet decided to declare war upon Great Britain. Henry Wood, bis original itnceitor, who came t3 this country in tho seventeenth century, settled iu Rhode Island, but in 165(1 moved to the vicinity of Philadelphia, on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River, iu order to avoid Rhodo Island Puritan jiersccutions. The original family burying ground is said to exist yet, a short distance north of Cam. driu Mr. Wood's father removed to Now "Vork In 1820, and six years later Mr. Wood began his career as a clerk. In 1832 he commenced business for himself, having previously worked at cigarniaklng, which trade be had picked up from observation. The cholera epiJeinla of 1832 caused his business venture to fail, and he returned to clerking; but In 183d hu again essayed busi ness on bis own account, becoming a ship ping merchant in a small way, but meeting with such success that in 1650 be retired on n competency, much of bis wealth having been acquired by fortunate real estate in vestments.

The I'ost-ofilce Appropriation bill was taken up, nnd Mr. Pugh moved the amendment appropriating $1,000,000 for American iron steamships. After some debate, the Chair decided the amendment out of older, as it involved gen eral legislation. Mr. Maxey appealed from the decision, but, without acting on tbo question, the Senate adjourned. In tho House, Mr. Kclley, from tho Ways and Means Committee, reported a bill to ro- peal the statuto imposing discriminating duties ou tea and coffee, products of the tws sessions of tho Netherlands.

Nkw York, Feb. 12, 1881. When our ox-Minister to Russia, 11 W. Stougblon, said at Delnionico's last Satur day night s "Tho American pooplo aro not boastful, but they aro intelligent enoue.h lo know tlioir superiority nud honest enough to state it," ho gavo onn of tho neatest ver bal examples on record of n national cbarac- teristio with which tho other nations of the world have becomo quito familiar. The oc casion which broilghtout the remark quoted was tho hrst formal and official meeting ot General Grant with the Commissioners of tho World's Fair of 1883, of which he is President. In addition lo members of tho International Commission a number of prom Ineut gentlemen wero present. The plans of lho projected exhibition were outlined in a general woynnd Its claims presented from n financial point of view. The total amount of subscriptions to the capital stock thus far is $322,500. Of this sum shares have been taken by leading railroad and business men in various departments. The bankers up per favorably disposed, tho railroad monop olists and magnates apparently sea big money in It, and It is understood that rep resentative wholesale end retail houses like those of Lord & Aaylor and A. T. Stewart & Co., dry goods, will subscribe liberally. Tho first world's fair, held at Hyde Park in 1851, only covered soventeen acres) at the fair of 1883, it is projiosod the buildings ulono will cover upwards of seventeen aeresl The buildings at Philadelphia cost $5,245, 000; in '83 lho buildings will cover 25 per cent, moro sjiaco at a total estimated cost of 4,uuu,iiuu. The receipts ot tlio Centennial from all sources was $8,000,000 ; tho esti mated receipts a1, tho New York Fair are placed nt $20,000,000. Claims have been mado and strenuously urged that the lime is loo short, ond in sup port of this claim, wo aro told thatnscoro or moroot the States nnd Territories whieh nnw hold biennial sessions, will not meet ngain till next winter, and thutnflcr that it will be too late to make appropriations. I do not know how many of the Commonwealth's have already prepared for this financial contingency, but I do know that the Secre tary of the Commission told mo the other duy that all talk of necessity for pospone ment was absurd, because everything In connection with the fair of '83 is a year in advance of preparations for the fair of '76 at the length of time from the opening. Eleven foreign governments have thuscarly given notice of an intention to participate: England, France, Spain, Norway, Sweden, Denmaik, Austria, Turky, Gieece, Vene zuela, Guatemala and Germany ; Franco in particular, not to mention other nations, will certainly make a far moro creditable show ing than that which hardly did more than misrepresent them at the Centennial. The Slato buildings were a feature at theQuaker City show which no visitor will ever forget. Arranged with better system, the samo it is said is to bo ono of the principal fea luics at Inwood. As to thematter of " con cessions," there Is already a creat demand. but I am told no disposition will be made of sues ior restuurants or other money making purposes Inside the exhibition grounds be fore next year. I nru also told that a smaller number of " concessions," at higher prices, will be granted. At Philadelphia eacliYes taurant had to pay $6,000 for its "conces sion," or the right to put up n building. At New York tho price will very likely bo $10, 000; if the number is restricted to four or five, under proper management, there would be money in a restaurant at that figure. On account of ill health and the enorm ously rapid growth of the business loan un precedented magnitude, Dr. Holland, editor of" Scribner's Magazine" from the start, has sold nut his one-third of the shares of the capital stock to Mr. Roswcll Smith for $150, 000 in cash. Dr. Holland will continue us editor nt a very large salary, and his inter esting nnd instructive" Timely Topics" will also continue to bo a permanent leaturo. To tho genius of Mr. Smith is America- indebt ed lor the proud prominence of printing the best magazino in the world, and the same spirit of enterprise and infalible cood taste which has placed "Scribner's" iu the van of our current periodical literature will cer tainly keep it there. Tho consumation of tho telegraph combi nation is but another illustration of the fin ancial tendency ol tho times to enormous nnd all-absorbing centralization. Three or four men own or as aboolulely control us though they did own the vast lailway system of tho country ; eyen in this city as soon ns tho elevated roads were found to be a success, the four companies rolled them selves into one by some hocus pocus only known to managing millionaires. Tho Western Union Telegraph Company tell us tho combination will enable them to econo mise so materially as to givo the public u lower rate of tables. Tho public bus its own opinion ou that subject, ond eveu now half u uozeu projects are talcing lorm to run op position to tho colossal monopoly of thu wires. But what real opposition or rival worth tho name can there ever bo acair.st a handsome dividend paying $80,000,000 of capum, watureu tuoiign it may ue, unless government should wisely decide, to lake u hand nod give us a system ol postal tele graphy, the samo as they havo in England? In what other wav can tho centralization of capital bo offset save by n centralization of tne power ol the people in 113 government i Do you give It up' So do I. And passon to a bitof social gossip which moy servo for desert for the lady readers, ut least aftsr the heavy bill of faro Unit precedes it. lou have piobably noticed that General Chester A. Arlhur is tho Vice. Presidentelect; but you may not have heard that ho is engaged to marry tho widow of tho late Marshall O. Roberts, Mrs. Arlhur died it year ago this present mouth, and the wedding is to take phico after Easter. Mr. Roberts had been twice a widower, and was on the steamer bringing home the dead body of his wife for burial when he met tho Indv who subsequently supplied tho vacant place. She wasa widowutthetime,nnd it is assert ed, with how much truth I do not know, that Mr. Roberts proposed to her on the steamer wnen no ursi met ucr. In the Senate, Wednesday, Mr. Eaton, from the Committee on Foreigu Affairs, re ported the resolution declaring the policy of the United States iu reference to the Inter oceanic Canal project. It was laid on the table temporarily and ordered to be printed. The Fortification Appropriation bill was reported and placed ou the calendar. By directions of the Committee on Foreign Re lations. Mr. Eaton reported an amendment to be offered to the Sundry Civil bill, ap propriating $2 S,000 lor thecxpcnstiofaii em bassy to Mexico, to consist ol not more than two "ambassadors, to act iu conjunction with the Minister PJenipotentiary.rnrtho purpose of negotiating additional treaty provisions for tho promotion of commercial relations between the Republics,and for the encourage ment of works of interna' improvement con structed by American cltize.is.

Leavenworth, Kas., Feb. 9, 1681 Editor Carbon Advocate, When, after an absence of filtcen years, I revisited my old home at Weissjiortand Leliighton, I wus overwhelmed and bewildereil at the marvel ous changes that had taken place. Most of the old cherished landmarks had disappear ed been blotted out by tho strides of im provement, and it wus difficult to realize that your borough of to-day was the old Le liighton I had left so few years ago. The whole country seemed to have been renew ed and built over, and tho town presented a sce.no or thrift mid enterprise which was a suprise lo even a Western man. I missed many old familiar faces, and was deeply im pressed at the havoc grim death hod occa sioned iu the ranks of the old settlers ot Carbon county. The flourishing condition of, Leliighton and Weissport was a source of gratification not only to myself, but to others away off here, to whom I communicated lho pleasing news. My example will even tuate in more pilgrimages from the scattered boys and girls who have strayed away to the prairies. They all seemed to havo un attack of home-sickness when I described the dear old burgh, and expressed a determ ination to revisit you. After leaving Leliighton I went to New York, whero I purchased a car load of trop ica.' fruits, uud brought it safely through to this place, despite Ihe severe cold weather. 1 put up a stove iu the cur, end kept an even and pleasaut temperaturo during the entire trip, so that not an orange or lemon got frozen. My whole trip was enjoyable in every detail, Ihe ouly regret being that I could not tarry louger with my old child hood friends and neighbors, of whom there are some, I doubt not, who will read this that will have pleasant recollections. Yet the prairies of rare old Kansas never appeared handsomer to me than on mv re turn. All nature seemed to be awakening each year, ih progresses, with equal pact, iu iiintviini ,itp,iuiiijr. ucr jrujiuiaiHIll I) now over 20,000 and the demand fdr resi dences cannot bo supplied. After a fev years of business dejection und inertia, the people oi tors metropolis, realizing the Met that God helps those who help themselves, have awakened to their interests. The old time enterprise which characterised her marvellous minority, seems to have coma back to her in her maturity, and now tho men who mean business are shaping her course. She Is widening the area of habi tation, extending her railways, spreading her manufactories, and enlarging her com mercial facilities. This city, to-day, really Las moro maim factories than Quincy, Kansas City and St. Joseph combined. She bos Fort Leaven worth the largest military post in tho country on her suburbs, and tributary lo her has moro rich men than either of the places named, nnd is the prettiest city west of Cleveland, Ohio. A new element haseomo to lho front, and is now taking the lead In matters pertaining to the management ond advancement of Lcayenworlh. We aro delermincd lo havo and maintain a railroad, munufacturingand commercial ceulre, and projioso that our city shall keep stride and striuo with the growth of tho State. Carbon county is a good place to stay in, but if any aro restless, especially those with capital, and desire to seek tho glorious West, I cordially advise them lo coins to Leavenworth. Thero is abundant room hero nud a hearty welcome, and any energetic person can readily grow wealthy. JOS. B. DRE1SUACII. WASHINGTON. OCR SIPKCI.lt, LRTTKR. Washington, D. C, Feb. 12, 1881. The principal event of tho week was the counting ofthe electoral vote at n joint ses sion of both houses of Congress, which was held iu the Hall of Representatives. With the exception of here nnd there In tho aisles nnd between tho seats were seen tho U. S. Senators, there was nothing to indicate thai anything unusual was transpiring. The proceedings wero opened with prayer by the Chaplain, and shortly afterwards it was an nounced that tho Vice President and Senate hadairlvcd. Vice President Wheeler took his seat on tho right side of Speaker Ran dall, and having culled the assembly to order, slated that the electoral vote would bo counted and s'ppoinled Messrs. Thurman and Hamlin on tho part ofthe Senate and Messrs. House nnd Crowley on the part of the House to act as tellers. Theso gentle men having taken Ihcir places nt tho clerks desk tho Vico President raid "I open tho package purporting to contain tho certificates of election of tho Stato of Alabama, and ha-.il Urn certificate to be reported. This he repeated lo the case of each Btato, and the certificate having been read ho announced tho number of votes which had been cast and for whom. Tho cr.llro list of States having been gone through Senator Thur man announced that James A. Garfield ol the Stato of Ohio had received 214 voles and Wlnficld S. Hancock of Pennsylvania had received 155vnlfs. SenatorThurmon nindo a similar statement regarding the voto for Vice President, to which Senator Conkling responded with an emphatic "cood." Tho Vico President then announced that the business for which tho two houses had as sembled was completed and that the Senate would 'eturn to tho Chamber. That is about tho whole of lho proceed i lies which mark so important an ovent m tho political uistory ol llie country. The Patent Office, which bylaw is com pelled to bo self-sustaining in its operations, continues to mako n good showing, loth financially and as reflecting she ingenuity and inventive power of the American pson pie. Tho annual report for 1RR0 oggregaVs, the receipts for lho year at $74"'J,oS5; tniil expenditures, $538,803; leaving a bahinccbf $210,820. The total amount, lo '.ho credit if the patent fund In January 1, 1881, wife $1,881,031,620. Tho effort to divert this money to the eduoattonul fund, however meritorious in some respects, would be ap injustice to the inventors of tho country, which should not bo allowed. It would be far better to puss a law lessening tho patent fees as an additional encouragement lo in vention, for no man of intelligence Onn fail to understand that American inventions' havo been among the most civilizing und wealth producing lectors of tho age. Tho preparations here for tho inauguration display are now rapidly passing out of pro posals und talk into labor and material, and every street which intersects "Pennsylvania avenue, from the Treasury to the Capital, bears eyiden"e that the work is well begun. At each street intersection, botli on tho north and on the south side arches have been commenced. Their foundations are nf iron pipe, driven into tho ground, from which mat arches will spring for decoration, to represent the various States. These do not cross the avenue but flank it, continuing the building line, and in this way, as all the buildings will be adorned, that spacious thoroughfare will show on each side a line of ornamentation, broken by no intervening streets, forming a notably unique design, Tho fine aic.h at Fifteenth street is further advanced than the smaller arches. Their will bo canvas pavilions extending from each nf the street railways which pass the Smithsonian grounds to the ball room at the1 National Museum. A temporary but com modious supper hall is to be built upon I lit' lot ndioiniiiir lho National Museum. Most of the smaller halls of tho city are being lined up ns longing rooms. A grond view platlorm is now being finished, opposito Cenlro market by the inaugural committee, It will contain several thousand seats, whose rental will aid to defray the expenses of the celebration. As the lime for the inaugural tiou approaches robberies and the picking oj pockets increase. Several gentlemen report losses from pickpockets to the jrolice to-dayl It is evident thai a largo body of siiecial po lice will bo needed lor tho city during in auguration times. The Hon, John. C. New, of Indiana, who is being urged as a member of General Gar field's Cabinet arrived here lo-niglit. lie claims to havo the support of tho Indiana Republicans for the position. , Two moasurcs of magnitude nnd import ance got black eyes tills week. One Is Pen siou Commissioner Bentley's traveling court scheme which lie attempted to havo fastened loan appropriation bill in the Senate, and which, alter an exhaustive debate, wus ruled out on a point or older. I think, however, that a square voto on tho measure would huve resulted inadcleut ouito us decisive. The other measure set back is tho River und Harbor Bill. It wus a genuine surnrisu. This annual swindle generally comes out of comminee so arranged that a largo majority ofthe House li pledged to it, and it is crowd ed through under a suspension nf the rules, Mr. Cox's witty tpeocli against it last win ter will be remembered, but it was of mi avail; for the $10,000,000 appropriated hud been adroitly divided up among the mem bers representing dill'eient districts, includ ing all tho runs and duck )ouds. But this time Mr. Cox got iu a home thrust by show ing uiaiiue memuersoi uieuoinmerco Com mittee had, under an apparent mutual ar rangement, set opart the linn's share of lho appropriation for their own districts. The loiai amount appropriated uv the bill wus $11,000,000, of which, accord'ing to the fig ures presented bv Mr. Cox, tho fifteen mem bers- of tho committee proposed to distribute M,'juu,uuu wncre u would do the most good for the fifteen. Some of the obiecls a-ioron- riated for in tho bill are important untitle works, but a majority of the appropriations probably are for small streams which could not be made navigable unless they were converted into canals. Perhaps the com bination may rally sufficiently to get the bill through the next effort, but it is to be hoed uol. Tills annual steal is becoming ueuer unuersieiHi every year, anu the o position to it grows.
