MIKE HARTER GETS EMPHATIC And Illustrates His Position to a Colleague's Detriment. BILL FOE AN OHIO BITER COMMISSION fEFEdAI. TELEGRAPHIC LETTER. Bcbeau or Tbb Dispatch, l TVASHiKoroif. D. C Jlaroh 22. ( An immense audience, a crowded press gallery for almost the first time since the beginning of this session, a long and prosy speech by Silver Bill Bland, short ones by 'Williams, Harter and Raynor, the three most fiery speakers of the anti-silver faction these were the conspicuous features of the opening day of the free coinage bill discus sion. It was only a great day from the fact that it at last gave final and vocal utterance to the great quarrel that is splitting the Dem ocratic party into smithereens. As one anti-silver Democrat expressed himself l "This is the most effective Republican mass meeting lever saw." It was not a great day in its arguments. The giants were notice able for their absence. No Randall or Carlisle or Oox was there to lend a grand force to the occasion, to struggle with each other over the silver bill, as they were wont to do over the tariff and to give to the opposing factions an air of being un der a leadership competent for great things. . farty Lines Entirely Wiped Omt .As Bland said, when Tom "Watson, the Alliance leader, demanded a share of the time, saying he "'belonged to an independ ent p'arty," "w re oil independent on this question; there is no party, and the Alli ance people Mill gei men biiuw as luuiviu uals, and not as a party." It was certainly every fellow for himself, who could beg a few minutes of time from members of the Committee on Coinage, who controlled the time. Just the least bit of partr paint was put on the situation by Re publicans oDjecung vu mo control ci ineir time bv Democrats, anti-silver men. As Boutelle. who in a way assumes charge of the little "old guard" of Republicans when Reed is not present, tersely put it: "We are at least the majority of the minority on this question, and propose to control our own time." And of course they had their war, as a matter of right. The matter of the speeches of to-day was not specially interesting, because it con tained little that was new. Bland went over almost the same jrround upon which he traveled in the report of the majority of the committee, and wita nis usual uncouth gesture and indistinct utterance. He had the attention of just so many as could hear him easily. Others which included nearly all of the Republicans went to luncheon or to the smoking rooms. Bland's Speech Sot Entirely Bad. In his lack-luster way Bland probably presented the case of the free coinage side about as strongly as it could be put. He worked the facte of history bearing on the subject for all they were worth in his favor, often illogical from lack of exact and analytical data, but putting as solid ground behind him as he could with the material he had to work with. He and all other speak ers and writers upon the relations of gold and silver, on all sides of the question, have bad to confess their inability to furnish in disputable diagrams of the future of gold and silver under conditions that have not come to pass and that must to some extent be guessed. Bland and all the rest labored violently with the spirit of prophecy, but with something of that lack of exactness which has marked prophecy in all times, which could be interpreted variously and which would enable the prophet, after al most any sort of fulfillment, to say: "Told you so. " I do not fancy that any one of that great audience of to-day has had ab solute conviction of anything Irom those speeches. Williams well-voiced oration was pleas ing in a way, but he suffers from Boutelle's phrase, "Mugwump kindergarten," applied to the young men irom Massachusetts. He looked like and was looked upon as a col lege student delivering a commencement essay. Harter Readies at Strong Climax. If Williams was conspicuous for finished language and manner, Harter was conspicu ous for lack of it. Barter's speech was the funniest effort that has been heard in the House this session. He had it down to dollars and cents, and almost to mills, just bow much each element of the creditor class will lose by the depreciation of silver on ac count of free coinage, and his pathetic and startling description of the reduction to pauperism of bank depositors, pensioners, persons whose lives are insured, persons owing money on property, from such depre ciation, occasioned roars of laugh ter. He seemed actually crazed with the fine fury of the subject. At one climax he described how the silver millionaires would "grab the people by the nape of the neck and shake them to pieces ju6t like that," and suiting the 'words to the action, he grabbed little McKaig, of Mary land, who sat beside him, by the collar, and shook him savagely. It was so ludicrous that all thought of decorum was forgotten, and everybody, even the Speaker, lay back in their chairs, and minutes of laughter pasted before order could be restored. McKaig was the only one who failed to laugh. He scowled savagely at Harter, and half rose from his seat, as though to resent the attack then and there, and it was this action which brought Harter to a first reali zation of the extent of his offense. In his excitement he had been strong as a prize fighter, and McKaig's head and shoulders slashed about in his grasp for a moment as a rat would in the jaws of a bull terrier. The moment he realized his action, Harter, now distressingly embarrassed, tapped Mc Kaig caressingly on shoulder and cheek, bowing low before him again and again, with a contrition that was painful to see, but which only aroused other roars of laughter. Broken Op in the Excitement, McKaig looked at the poor man with a contemptuous expression at first, but the grotesqueness of Harter's performance at last brought a faint smile to his lips, though be turned away without accepting the apology. The occurrence was so unusual that it is worth telling at some length, as a warning to young Congressmen to keep their presence of mind while in the throes of oratory. Over his remaining five minutes Harter stumbled wofully. He had broken himself up. The speech of the day was really that of Eavner, the brilliant young Hebrew Con gressman from Baltimore. So Impassioned at all times that he often degenerated into anting, he is vet remarkably clear in his irguments, and gave to-day by all odds the Strongest utterance "yet heard in this Con gress against free coinage. The holding of night sessions on the silver Mil. nnd the granting of general leave to print speeches in the Jleeord without deliv ery, show the axiety of members to get themselves immortalized in black and white on this question. . It is safe to say .that from day to da v for a month or two to cpme the Jleeord will be enriched with a financial lit erature that will amuse and astound, if not instruct. Policy of tne Anti-Silver Men. The anti-silver men have not yet fully concluded how far to carry their opposition to the bill. Thev will nrobahlv filibuster on the call of the Question at the close of the debate to an extent which will at least further emphasize their position. "They certainly have no hope of defeating the measure. It has been argued that they may carry the bill beyond the three day desig nated in the special order, and thus at least force a new special order. But this plan could only result in a waste of time. If the silver men are strong enough to pass the bill they are strong enough to force a vote without adjourn ment, and carry along the last legislative day of the debate indefinitely by sitting continu ously or taking recesses and refusing to ad journ. It is probable, however," that they will filibuster through it all, and, after duly impressing on the constituents and the country their enmity to the measure, sub mit to the inevitable. , The applause when a message was made known in the House, during the debate, that Roger Q. Mills had been elected to the United States Senate from T.exas, was a de served compliment to that gentleman. Not withstanding his rather crude exhibition of pique and temper when he was defeated for the Speakership, his power and abilities have been recognized by supporters and op ponents. His defeat for the Speakership has landed him in the Senate, and few Democrats in the country would be more warmly welcomed there. "The anti-silver men attempt to make some capital of the tact that though Mills was opposed to a free coinage bill, he was unanimously elected to the Senate by a people supposed to favor free silver. Mills never opposed free coin age. He bitterly opposed bringing a bill of that kind into this campaign Congress, and it is safe to assert that nad he been elected to the Speaker's chair the silver question would have been shut out of the House, or the factional fight would have been far more bitter than it Is. The Bering Sea Imbroglio. Though the Cabinet sat for some time to day in discussion of the Bering Sea con troversy, the nature of the latest communi cation from Lord Salisbury is yet only a matter of conjecture. A flying visit to the city of Sir Baden Powell, one of the Cana dian agents recently here, caused much more gossip and rumor than the Salisbury note, especially when It was learned that he had come directly irom Montreal and would sail for London from New York to-morrow. After1 leaving this city recently Mr. Powell, in an interview, stated that there would be no serious trouble between the United States and Great Britain, appearing 'to understand his Government's intentions, and it is possible that he may have been commanded to undertake some important personal commission. It is expected that runner communications between tne state Department and Lord Salisbury will belaid before the Senate within a day or two, and that the public will learn' their nature through that repository of state secrets that has always been so leaky. A bill of some importance to Pittsburg was introduced in the House to-day by Representative Barrett, of the Evansville, Ind., district. It provides for the appoint ment of an Ohio river commission, to con sist of two army engineers, one of the coast survey, and two practical steamboat men living adjacent to the river and with five years of experience preceding their appoint ment. Seventy-five thousand dollars is asked for salaries and other expenses to enable this commission to make a thorough survey of the Ohio between Pittsburg and Cairo'in regard to channel, preservation of banks and other improvements, and report to the Secretary of War for transmission to Congress. Representative Dalzell to-day introduced a bill providing for the sale of the old post office, corner of Fifth and Smithfield street. It contains the usual provisions for adver tising in three daily papers and by means of bills ana lor sale at auction, tor cash, as a whole or in part, at the discretion of the Postoffice Department.

Sax Francisco, March 21 The steamer West Indian, which was reported wrecked off Acajutla, left here last February, Captain Scott having had some difficulty in shipping a crew. The non-union crew were removed from the steamer by the Seamen's Union. The police were called upon, and the Cap tain armed his men and instructed them to shoot the first union man that attempted to come aboard. There was no shooting be cause the vessel dropped out into the stream, and the coast seamen did not go out on the bay to force it. The first intimation of any tronble on board was received here Sunday, when the wife of Engineer Hallowell received a letter stating that a sailor had teen cruelly treated by the captain because be asked per mission to go ashore. The sailor was finally taken to jail in irons, and, in consequence, the foreman and all the sailors except four refused to work until they first interviewed the British Consul. The captain ordered all hands into the forecastle and locked them in. Then he went ashore, and, re turning after several hours, declared it the men refused to work he would have them sent to jaiL The men still refused to work, when, at a signal from the captain, who in the meantime had armed himself, the com mandant and a boatful of men came aboard and picked out the mutinous leader and took him to jail. I The engineer says throughout the whole occurrence Captain Scott kept poking his pistols under the men's noses and swearing at them. He again told them to go to work, bnt the men refused, saying that they pre ferred to go to jail, so they were all taken to prison. The West Indian after leaving La-Union, set sail for San Francisco with? a short crew. It is thought that Captain Scott must have lost his bearings, and the vessel went on the rocks. The Captain seeing all hope gone, ordered out the boats and the crew got safely ashore. Jeff Davis' Pabllshe "Win. NewYobk, March 22.

GUFFErS FBIEHDS IN, CONTROL Some Terr Lively Conventions and a Bolt in j)ne District. SIPE YICTOBIOIJS ON THB SODTHBIDB The Democrats of Allegheny county yes terday enjoyed a regular old-fashioned field day. The eight legislative districts of the county elected delegates to the Democratic State Convention, recommended four dele gates to the National Democratic Conven tion and passed resolutions instructing for Grover Cleveland for President. In the Seventh and Second districts,AUe gheny, lively fights occurred, and in the Fifth district, Pittsburg, which was prob ably the most interesting of the day, a bat tle lasting for two hours was made over the Cleveland instructions, whioh, however, were finally carried by a vote of 53 to 34. In the Allegheny contest where the lines were drawn between J. M. Gufley and Secretary Harrityand their ambitions to represent the State on the National Democratic Com mittee the Gufley people won the day. In the Sixth Legislative district, which is part of the Twenty-fourth Congressional dis trict, the new Democratic organization, headed by "William A. Sipe, won the battle against the old Democratic organization headed by John B. Larkin, T. O'Leary, Jr., and "W. J. Brennen. The Declaration for Cleveland. In each of the eight district conventions the following resolution, which had been prepared, printed and liberally distributed among the delegates, was adopted: , Rnanlvfid. That this convention heartily indorse the able, just and incorruptible ad ministration of Governor Robert E. Pattison and sustains him in every effort he has made to check constitutional infractions, prevent discrimination and the imposition on the people of onerons and unnecessary burdens, and that we regard him as a safe, conscien tious leader and a courageous publio officer. Resolved, That in the national contest now openinar we believe in making the Question of tariff reform paramount to all other pub lio questions, and that Grover Cleveland is its strongest, ablest and most devoted ad vocate. .., .. Resolved, That in recognition of his dis tinguished services to the people of this country we indorse him for the Presidency and instruct our representatives to use all honorable means to promote that object.

The national delegates indorsed bv the various conventions and whioh will be chosen by the delegation to the State Con vention follow: Twenty-second Congressional district J. M. Gufley and George Fleming. Twenty-third Congressional district Lee Fresher and John Huckensteln. The convention in the First Legislative district met in the Common Council cham ber with a full list of delegates present. Edward G. Lanz was chosen Chairman of the .convention and David Suehr and Anthony Koehler Secretaries. The dele gates were named promptly and without opjsjsition. t ? t s v ..! where a Bolt Was Mad. ! In the Second Legislative District Con tvention there was not so much smooth sail ing. It was anticipated that there would be a row in this convention, and as a result the lobby was paoked with spectators. Contrary to expectations the opposition to the so-called Hill ticket did not pnt in an appearance, 'and the convention therefore became a very tame affair. C M. King was chosen'Cbairman, and William Thompson and Samuel Hawthorne acted as Sec retaries. There were five con tests for seats and the committee having that matter in charge adjusted matters by giving to each side naif a vote. When nominations were called for Messrs. James Tracy, Thomas Burns and Jacob Born were named, and elected without oppo sition, 201 votes being cast. After the result was announced Mr. Lee Frasher secured the floor and spoke bitterly against John Sullivan, whom be accused of being a falsifier and a man devoid of the truth. t Chairman King claimed that John Jiles had threatened him that if they did elect certain delegates that they would not be seated at the Harrisburg convention. The convention adjourned with three cheers for J. M.' Guffey and Grover Cleve land. In the meantime the delegates who had refused to go into the Second Legislative Convention- met in the upstairs room which is occupied by the Police Bureau. There were 11 delegates present, John Sul livan was chosen Chairman of the meeting, and John Woods Secretary. Edward Pey ton, Michael Nestor and Edward Kolb, Jr., were unanimously selected as delegates to the Harrisburg Convention. The conven tion adjourned with three cheers for Cleve land. , Some Very Quiet Meetings. The Third Legislative Convention was held in Select Council Chamber last night, and but about ten minutes was necessaryto do everything intended to be done. Samuel Gilson was made Chairman and Howard Porter Secretary. Harmony pre vailed throughout Mr. Kearney pre sented a resolution indorsing Guffey as a member of the National Executive Com mittee. The resolutions were passed. The convention of the Fourth Legislative district was held at the Ralston sctrool house last night. The meeting was called to order by Hon. John Kearns. The Fifth Legislative District Conven tion was the event of the day. It was held in Common Council chamber, City HalL All the party warriors were on the floor and for two hours they wrestled over theCleve--land resolution. T. O'Leary, Jr , and P. Foley led the fight for the resolution, while Chairman Brennen battled courageously, but to no effect, against it. An effort was made by Mr. Brennen and his following to indorse Governor Pattison instead of Cleve land, bnt the effort failed and the Governor's most ardent friends opposed his indorse ment. . The delegates gathered early and brought with them enough spectators to fill the' lobby and aisles. A new Chairman was brought out Jeremiah Dougherty, of the Fourteenth ward. He was well versed in parliamentary law, was perfectly cool, and, it is said, was enjoying a long-sought op portunity to pay off a few old scores against Foley and O'Leary. The convention was called to order by Mr. Dougherty and organized with him as permanent Chairman, and John Longhran, J. B. McNulty and G. J. Bleiehner as secre taries. ' The Point of the Contest. Mr. Foley at once offered the printed res olutions indorsing Governor Pattison's ad ministration and indorsing Cleveland for President Mr. Brennen moved that the resolutions be referred to a committee of three. Mr. Foley suggested that they be read first, and Mr. Brennen sat down. When they had been read Mr. Brennen renewed his motion and Mr. Foley asked what his idea was. This1 was 'Chairman Dougherty's first chance. "The gentlemen will please wait until .the Chair states the question," he said, and.Mr,Foley. waited. . ., Mr. Brennen explained his position. The DISPATCH, - WEDNESDAY, rules of the County Committee provided that all resolutions must be referred to a com- J mittee. The only way to govern that would oe Dy a suspension 01 tne ruies. Mr. Foley moved that the rules be sus pended. The Chair decided the motion out of order. Mr. O'Leary appealed from the decision of the Chair and the convention broke loose. Messrs. Foley and O'Leary were the chief talkers, but the Chair calmly rapped them down, and when he had pounded out order he called Jury Commis sioner Mullen to the chair. Mr. Dougherty was very brief in his rea sons supporting his decision. His ruling was' based on the fact that there was then pending a motion before the house. Mr. Foley attempted to discuss the sub ject, but Chairman Dougherty, from the floor, raised a point of order that Mr. Foley had no right to discuss the subject, and the point was declared well taken. Mr. O'Leary then took the floor, but Chairman Dougherty again insisted on a point of order that the speaker was not confining himself to the appeal. Again Dougherty was sustained, but by a close vote. Mr. Dougnertv resumed the chair again and sat on Mr. Foley for getting off the ex act line of parliamentary procedure. Mr. Carr, of the Twenty-seventh ward, called at tention to the fact that it took a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules, and was cheered, while one enthusiastic anti-Olevelander cried, "That's right, Paddy." Brennen Files His Objections. Mr. Brennen made an impassioned speech against suspending the rules and against the resolutions. He could see no, use in pass ing the resolutions; they bound no one, 'either at Harrisburg orelsewhere. for they were not drawn that way. Mr. Foley had always before objected to such a oourse and he didn't know why he brought such a fire brand to the convention. Mr. Foley replied that he had offered the resolutions in good faith. He was opposed to anv committee; tbey might be smothered In the committee. There was some further discussion and then the motion to suspend the rules was carried by a vote of 66 ayes to 27 noes. Once again Chairman Dougherty and Mr. Foley came together on parliamentary law and again the Chairman making Mr. Foley offer Ms resolutions of praise for the ad ministration and indorsement for Cleve land. Mr. Brennen moved to amend by striking out all reference to Cleveland, leaving the resolutions merely an indorsement of the Pattison administration. In support of this he said he spoke not as an anti-Cleveland man, and he asked every delegate to take what he said as the honest expression of a'man whose only desire is to see a Democrat elected President He had no ax to grind, no office to seek. He was willing to go further than his amendment; he believed it the duty of Pennsylvanians to stand at the back of that noble man, Governor Pattison, and indorse him tor President There was no reason for Penn sylvanians. to run to New York for a candi date while they have such a man among them, who had twice carried the State. Why not indorse your own noble and upright Governor instead of running after a man whom his. own. State repudiates? "Understand me," cried the fiery little Chairman of the County Committee, "I don't believe that Hill can be elected. Does anvone believe that Cleveland can be elected?" Mr. Foley knew of no bolt in New York and thought any Democrat in Allegheny countv could support the resolutions. J. W. Sullivan then introduced a substi tute for the original resolution indorsing Governor Pattison for President. The amendment was put to a vote and the Chair announced that it had carried. There was a row at once. Over all the noise Mr. O'Leary sent his voice and offered as a substitute for Mr. Brennen's amendment as amended by Mr. Sullivan the original resolution. Calling Bown the Chairman. The Chair decided the substitnte out of order. Mr. Foley was shouting and Mr. Brennen was talking to him for peace. Mr. Foley shook his head and kept up his shouts while Chairman Dougherty, smiling placid ly, keeps jip a rapping with his gavel and declares Mr. Foley out of orde. In the midst of the noise Mr. Foley managed to say: "I am in order, while the Chair is out pf order. Yon are going against two-thirds of this convention, and you are making a spectacle out of yourself. . Smilingly the Chair rapped the con vention to order and Mr. O'Leary again offered the original as a substitute, only to have it ruled out. He appealed and Mr. Dougherty called Mr. Brennen to the Chair. The appeal was sustained and then the resolutions were passed. The State dele gates were elected and the convention ad journed. In the Sixth Legislative Convention Charles B. Payne was elected Chairman. The fight was between Mr. Sipe and P. Foley and Sipe won the contest easily. The Seventh district convention met at 11 o'clock yesterday morning in Allegheny City Hall. Conrad Casey presided. The fight was decidedly lively and on three bal lots for delegates to the State convention the vote was declared to be tied. On the fourth ballot one delegate representing each fac tion was elected, and on the fifth ballot Pitt Bedell defeated Frank Osborne by one vote, giving to the Gufley people two out of the three delegates. Thomas Darby presided over the Eighth Legislative convention, which met at 11:30 yesterday morning in Pittsburg City Hall. There was no contest and the slated dele gates were elected.

KETS FROM THE FOREIGN CAPITALS Vienna, March 22. The Austrian Gov ernment Is greatly disturbed by the atti tude of the military men in Russian Poland. General Gourko appears to be making preparations for hostilities; the'defenses of Warsaw are being strengthened, and house holders have been notified of the number of soldiers each house will have to accommo date in the event of a Russian army taking up quarters in the city. Persons whose loy alty is questioned are expelled from War saw and other Polish cities, and some are deported to Siberia. The guards on the frontier have been re inforced, and fortified camps have been established at convenient points for a sud den movement in the direction of either Prussia or Austria. Large bodies of troops are in continual motion, and altogether the situation is calculated to stimulate anxiety both at Vienna and Berlin. General Gourko returned a short time ago from the personal conference with the Czar, referred to above, and preparations have been in creased since he came back to bis command. General Gourko, it has been learned, vis ited St Petersburg in order to confer with the Czar on a plan of action in the event of war with Austria and Germany. At a con ference of five hours' duraton, Grand Duke Vladimir, Grand Duke Alexis, the Minis ter of War, the. Chief of Staff and other mil itary experts being present, it was decided that General Gourko, who is now stationed in Russian Poland, should assume the offensive on the Austro-German frontier, and that General ShouvalOff should com mand the defensive army corps. The Russian Ambassador is said to have given assurances to Austria that there is no ostile intent on the part of Russia in the extrordinary movements in Poland, but the Austrian Government is not, for that rea Bon, ceasing to take vigorous precautions against a sedden attact General Kreig hammer, at Cracow, has been ordered to maintain increased vigilance, and the troops throughout Galicia have been placed in a condition for immediate service. ENGLAND'S LATEST WAS.. Bavins Trouble With a Yery Annoying; Band In Northern Barman. Calcutta, March 22. The revolt of the Lushai tribe in Northern Burmah is ex tending, and it is expected that its sup pression will entail extensive military operations. The trouble had its origin in an order issued by the British political officer. Lalbura, a Lusbai chief, refused to carry out this order, and, consequently, a force of 100 men was ordered to proceed to his village and compel obedienoe. The British troops were attacked on their approach, but finally succeeded in occupy ing the northeastern part of it. The natives burned the remainder of the village. On the following day, March 2, the Lushais made a determined attack on the British position, but were driven bock with the loss of several men. Reinforcements sent from Aijal were attacked on the road, but man aged to reaoh the force In the village. Sev eral subsequent encounters occurred, in all of which .the natives- were defeated, but they were sot discouraged, and now comes reports that the Western Lushais are about to join the rising. A SOCIALIST RIOT It? A CHTJBCH. Vive la Ccmuraae ana Other Bevolntlonary Cries Start the Fight Pabis, March 22. The Socialist church of Saint Merrl was the scene of a lively row this evening. Father Lemoigne reproved the disturbers for their ill-mannered inter ruptions, whereupon the Secretary of the Revolutionary Committee arose and shouted, "Let us ko." His comrades, with responsive cries of "Vive la commune" and the like, arose to leave, causing a tumult Some of the worshipers attacked the Socialists with sticks and 'other weapons, and then a furious general fight began. One Socialist, scaling the pulpit, shouted: "The republic has been insulted." At this point the gas was lowered, the uproar subsided immediately and all departed. HUNGER HAKES KEN FIENDS. Disappointed Feasants Try to Barn a Bur gomaster's Family In Their House. Buda Pesth, March 22. At Oreeho, in Northern Hungary, a number of peasants thought that they had been badly treated In the distribution of relief. They went in a body to the house of the burgomaster, a little 'distance from town, and noiselessly barricaded the doors and windows so as to prevent escape. Then the peasants set fire to the place, their avowed intention being to burn the burgomaster and his family to death. They would have succeeded In tbelr design had it not been that the fire was seen by a number of farmers, who hastened to the rescue. The Latest on the Cabinet Crisis. BEKiilN, March 22.

PAPEBS FOB VAST MINING FROPEBTT BOUGHT IN A CHEST. The Box and Its Unknown Contents Knocked Down as Unclaimed Bailroad Burg-age After Nine Tears' Detention Trouble and Utlcatlon In Frospeet. Denver, March 22. Albert Poole, a purchaser of auction and unclaimed stocks, has in the direct line of his business brought to light a fortune for somebody. As a re sult of this there is trouble in the mountains for somebody else. The reason of it all is that Colonel, Henry Altman came to Colo rado in July, 1857, and from a number of mining' deeds pre-emption certificates and other mining papers seemed to have en gaged in speculation in mines. It would also seem from these papers that he had amassed considerable property, and also 'that he was an exceedingly careful man as to the records of all points. His everg actiop is distinctly traceable from these papers in the possession of Mr. Poole, dating from the time he arrived in Colorado in 1837 up to nine years ago, when seven boxes and one trunk arrived in Denver en route to Maysville, Cob, and here remained, owing to the failure of the owner to make his appearance and further forward them. These boxes have, therefore, been in the storage rooms of tne Denver and Rio Grande warerooms for nine years and were nut noon nubile auction on Feb ruary 4, 1892, by the railroad company. .Ninety days is the limit or holding bag gage before selling at auction, and it Is somewhat remarkable that this particular property was held for nine years before selling. Poole bought among purchases amounting to 11,000, this collection of household goods for the sum of HO. A JDDGE CONVICTED. The Bar of New York TVI11 Demand May nard'a Bern oval. New Yoek, March 22. The Bar Associa tion of the Baroty of New York, tried Isaac O. Maynard, Judge of the Court of Appeals, to-night, and brought in a verdict of guilty. From the first there was no donbt as to what the verdict would be, but a little knot of his supporters fought valiantly for ac quittal and failing, accepted the Inevitable with becoming grace. The Judge was found guilty of reprehen sible conduct in the Dutchess county elec tion case by a vote which was probably about five to one, and within a few days the Senators and Representatives in Albany assembled will be called upon by the New York City bar to remove him from the high judicial office to which he was.recently ele vated. THREE TRAINS COLLIDE ON A BRIDGE. A Straoce Wreck on the Keadlns From Which Trainmen Bscapa Unhurt. Mahonet City, Pa., March 22. There was a serious wreck on the Reading rail road, between here and Tamaqua late last night While a coal train was passing be tween East Mahoney Junction and Tama qua it broke into three sections, and while passing over a bridge the three trains came into collision, throwing the cars high into the air, and they dropped into the river. It was found necessary to fire the bridge, it being badly damaged. The train hands stuck to their posts and tried to reduce the speed of the cars, but the brakes were in sufficient, and when ten yards from the bridge they jumped. All were badly scratched but none seriously hnrt It is ex pected that a new bridge will be completed bv 12 o'clock to-night McEnery the Probable Nominee. New Yoek, March 22.

Beesnsethey have been accaitomed to-work an their lives, and tbey cannot cease It A steamboat under full headway may nave Its apply of steam entirely cnt off. but It win run a lonjc distance simply by Its momentum. It Is this way with elderly men who continue to work after they should retire and giTe themselves np to leis ure. There are thousands of men who do this. They haTe usually been men of active brain and In dustry all their lives, and they cannot bring them selves to cease actlvegeffort entirely. It Is pernaps well that 11 Is so, for many men fall Into "dotage, " a hair imbecile condition, which makes life a bur den to them and their friends. This Is most un fortunate. But It does not follow that elderly men should breakdown In the least or lose the vigor which characterized them In former years. By a care ful mode of living, by a moderate amount of work, and by the use of some good nerve and muscle builder, they can continue In health and strength to a green old age. But not without assistance, not without something that will prove a food to the nerves and a vltallzer to the muscles. A din cult thing to find, we admit hut It has been found, found only once and Is the discovery made by Professor Phelps, of Dartmouth College, knorrn as Palne's Celery Compound. There are thousands of aged men and women to-day, who are kept In comparative youthfulness solely by means of this great discovery. Their nerves are strong; their muscles sound, their heads clear, their appetites good. Such a discovery Is a boon to humanity. It Is no cheap nostrum, nervine, sarsaparlUa or de vised article, but a chemical discovery: and It Is doing more to lengthen the lives and make pleasant the later years of the aged people of America than any other discovery known In the entire history of the whole world. The following are a few of the statements made in Its favor: "I am now sixty-nine years old, and for a long time have felt weak and full of pain. I tried many remedies, but none had any effect until I used Palne's Celery Compound. I now feel entirely dif ferent. I sleep soundly and well, walk briskly, and there Is new life and energy come Into my whole system." H. Mtlius, Cleveland, Tenn. "About two years ago I was all run down with nervous prostration and general debility. Later on a great sore broke out on my Umb. which caused me much suffering. Many remedies were tried, but all with the same effect: the sore grew steadily worse. At the advice of a friend, 1 resorted to your excellent Compound, which soon wrought a won derful change. After taking five bottles, I found the sore to be almost entirely healed and my gen eral health very much Improved: and now, at the age of seventy-eight I am In good health, having had no repetition of the breaking out I would recommend Palne's Celery Compound to all who are similarly afflicted." Mrs. A. B. Sumner, St. Johns. Mich. Kossouth, Gladstone. Whlttler, many grand and great men work constantly In tbelr old age. But they are very careful of their health: They do not over-tax their vitality, and use alas to strength continually. Any elderly man or woman may do the same and prolong life with happiness Instead of shortening It In misery. JACKSONS'. ! NOT II GENTLE SPUING.
