It is astonishing how ijuickly and completely prosperity extinguishes the fondness for adventure and danger that adversity renders endurable. The Okla homa boomers, who forced their way Into the Iadian Territory, fearless of bayonet and tomahawk and heedless of minor hardship, ere now trembling at the prospect of a similarly aggressive visitation from the semi-civilized savages whom they supplanted. Thc New York Sua is not exactly a hnmoroui Democratic paper just now. Its showing to the brethren that the IemooTBtic party will have to carry Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Wyoming, and Iowa in lS'..to secure the electoral col lege, without the vote of New York, is not to say a remarkably cheerful propo sition. The trouble w it b the new States tor Iemocrats is, they are made up of men of brains w ho read and think for themselves. Thk unsettled claims of the John Roach estate, which the assignees are trying to have Congress to pass uiori, should be paid as an act of justice to the meiucry of a man who was driven into bank ruptcy and his grave by the harsh and unjustifiable acts of ofiicera of the gov ernment. All fair-minded men who have investigated the claims concede that they are honest and just, and it is a 4uty imposed iijion all Republicans in Conerese to see that they are paid. The ipw liijuor law which recently went into effect in lljltirrmre has un doubtedly done much god, decreasing the sale of liquor to a considerable ex tent. The high license has tended to place the business in better hands, and the city now derives a revenue of VK, xm, w hereas nnder the old law it did not receive a cent. Another significant fail is found in the statement that, while the city has increased lo.uoo in popula tion during the ist year, the decrease of crime has been proportionately great. Hon. RoiuiKT I'. Poim-.K, Superintend ent of the Census, has made an elaborate reiort of the work done by hi liurcau to Secretary of the Department of the Interior Noble, from which it appears that the management of this mammoth undertaking has hern very successful, and that the work of completing the census is now much further advanced than the most sanguine had ex)ected, being in advance of past experience from one to five years. Within two years from the present time Mr. Porter expects to be able to lay before the public the last volume of statistics, w hereas the last census was not completed w hea the pres ent was ltegiin. At a meeting of the tnemtiers of the Blair county bar, held at the Court House in llollidaysbnrg Monday after Doon, ifsoluUons strongly endorsing William & Hammond, lq, of Altoona, for the position of I. S. District Judge for the Western District of Penn sylvania, were unanimously adopted. Mr. Hammond is ia the prime of life, and ranks among the ablest lawyers of the State, In politics he is a Republican, and was one of the deleu-ates w ho repre sented this Congressional district in the Republi-an National Convention of lS.'vS. His character as a citizen is without spot or blemifch. He is abundantly qualified in every way to fill the honorable posi tion to which he aspires, and his ap pointment would bo a mcst creditable and satisfactory one.

' ' , Conflict Between Alliance Men And the Old Political Parties. Ljmolk. Sob., Jtn. !. The expectations of a hiirli oM time in the Nebraska L-,rila-ture to day coie.uent upon the determina tion of the raw material or the Farmer' Al liance majority to do something wom'.evf.il, and the equally strong determination oflhe Republican and Democrats to have tlieir way, : were all realir-d. Tbe niiiitia was called out to preserve order, eyes were black ened and heads thumped, and in the end the tkill of trained politician! prevailed Boyd, Democrat, was declared elected Governor ard the K-pub!".c:i nominees to the other State officers w ere ieclarel elected. AH the doors of the Representative Hall were closely guarded this morning. aDd none but aiembers of the Legislature, State oflicer and persons having business Inside were ad mitted. The Alliance members had taken possession of tbe Houte at o o'clock in the morning. They placed tbe Speaker in the chair and put a cordon of assistant ergeant-at-Arms around him. Lieutenant Governor Meikeljohn gut lit through the cloak room and was served with an order of ejectment, hut he defied the o3icer and was not taken into custody. Roth sides bail a force of Sergeants' -at-Arras within call, and any at tempt ou either side to proceed with the can vass would have precipitated a row. To avoid this a committee from each party was sent with a statement ol the case to tbe Su preme Court, asking that body for a decis ion at to which officer has tbe constitutional right to pretide. Tbe Supreme Coijrt issued a writ of mandamus, compelling tbe Speaker to canvass the returns. This was a point ia favor of Governor -elect Royd, and the Republican-Democratic combination and won first blood. Sheriff McCloy served the writ on tl.e Speaker only after a pitched battle. He was guarded by a njaad of police and Cap tain Clarfcer's clothes were torn off, but after imashing liais and heads with their clubs thrr secured entrance and the writ was served. Lieutenant Governor Meikel jobn then declared the session adjourned. and the Republicans and the Democrat fi led I out of the Houte. Speaker Elder then called the Alliance members W order and directed the roll to be called. I When the Ilemocrs's and the Republicans attempted to l-ave lb- fl sir tim Alliance Sergeant-at-Arnis io-.d the dxir and at tempted to keep them in. He received a punch in the eye and a bloody nose as the result and the dior were sjieediiy oiened. Free fights occurred every few minutes. Nut Brown, of Omaha, had an altercation atthadoorof the House with an Alliance man, rewjltiuft in the A'.liance man being sent to tbe hospital for repairs. L'ldi r called the 1 Senator and 55 Repre sentative of tbe Alliance to order as a joint se-sion, but Attorney General Leese advised submission to the orders of the court. Nev ertheless Elder was declared the presiding oflicer of the joint session, and the Alliance men started o work. Governor Thayer tried to quiet the crowd, but to no iwilt. Mr. Meikelj hn went out in the corridor at 2 o'clock, and the doorkeejier refused to ad mit him. At 2 15 Speaker Elder again called the joint session to order. The Republicans and Demo crats were ia their seats and answered tbe roll call. Liutenant Governor Meikeljohn held bis position in front of the Speaker's stand which was crowded with Alliance men Chaplain Ditfenbocher prayed that the Almighty would give the legislators there assembled grace to control themselves and faithfully perform their duties. Then Mei keljohn immediately assumed control of the joint Assembly. This was scarcely objected to by tbe Alli ance men, most of whom were becoming dis gusted with the tactics of the leaders. It was 4 o'clock when Speaker Eider com menced, at Meikeljohn's request, to read tbe returns. As slowly as he could, the Sjieaker called off tbe vote of each C3unty. In the meantime filibustering was contin ued. Chiif Justice Cobb, vf the 6npreme Court, sent in word that the men wbo advis ed tbe Alliance men to disregird the mas date of the Court would be dealt with very severely. This bad a southing effeet on the obstruction:' ia the lobby. At 5.30 the Speaker finches' the canvass and formally declared that James E. B.'vd, Democrat, had !een duly elected Governor. This declara tion was aWo ma le in reference to the Re publican State ticket below Governor. Then an Alliance member introduced a resolution to the effect that the election was void and refused to reeogniz? any of the ollieers as elected and also censuring the Supreme Con rt, Afier much delay and dis cussion the resolution was adopted by a strict party vote Td to 5:, the Republicans and Democrats voting no. The joint ;ion then adjourmd To guard against emergencies all the State ofiicers took the oath of otm-e privately to day. Nobody knows what is in store. Hill's Road Scheme. From iBi- Phi ladrlphla Prefs. Governor Hill's recommendation forasys tem of State road so laid out that each coun ty will be crossed by two as near as may be at right angles deserves more comiderarion than it iai received. No country district in the world have ever had thoroughly good country roads except when aided by some central authority. Every European State follows tbe plan of building State roads in its rural districts. France, which has tbe best country roads in the world, has three systems national departmental aud communal ; the first the great arteries, the next the leading roads j raJiatii.it l.-oiu them in departments and lire lliird the letter roads in each tow nship, ('ur country roads, aside from bad nianase njeni, are bad in general because the over taxed farmirt; districts are too poor to pay for them, and under Governor Hill's plan the richer portions of the State would pay for the roads in the poorer to the general profit of all. Beaver's Bis Loan. HKRism-as Jan. 10. It is now too late to pass a bill belore the close of the present administration to reimburse William n. Kemble for the loan of fOHui he made to Governor Beaver on account of the Johns town and other floods in the Stale. The Governor, ir. his late message, recommended "that an appropriation be immediately made to reimburse the bank making the advance ment, so thit tbe repayment may be made at the earliest practicable dale. It would have been wise if an appropria tion bill, as indicated by the Chief Execu tive of the Stale, bad been introduced on the first day of ibe session, referred to a special committee and sufficient time had been oc cupied the first week in the House to pass it finally in that body, such action would have enabled the Senate the following week to have the measure In readiness to be sent to the Governor for his consideration. It would then have become a law before the inaugural ion o! Governor Pattiaon. As the Legislature will bold only two ses sions next week at the most, and the Inau guration of Governor Pattison will occur on the 2oth in.uiit, tbe legislation whose im mediate passage Governor Beaver urges caa not be cosipleted during the present admin istration. There are rumorscurrent that an effort will be made to start an investigation in the Legislature to ascertain whether tbe millions of money contributed toward the relief of the tbonsands of persons wbo sustained losses by the great flood were honestly dis tributed. It is also hinted that a thorough inuuiry would develop a scandal of great magnitude, an impression prevailing that a large portion of the relief fund was misap propriated to the decided financial advant age of sorue men. the i;hak.;es add the schools. Although Governor Beaver recommend an appropriation of only i.SOO.OOO to the public school of the Slate, tbe granger mem bers of the legislature will fight for a larger sum, IwvaMM! the largr tbe amount paid by tb State in this direction the lower will be tbetaxrs of the farmers fjrtbe higherstand ard of eduction.

K;rur. Atry,S. D.. Jan. 12. To nh;bl it looks as though the Indian troubles would be ended to-morrow, aud toat with out furtLer bloodshed. The hostile, with many warlike demonstrations and firing of rid--, have advanced to within about a mile of the Agency, and General Miles confi dently exL-U that by to-morrow night peace will rsign at tbe Agency. Scout Goorard reports that the savages are wild and growing more aneaty as tbey approach the agency. They fear tbey are going to be swept off the face of the earth for the deviltry tbey have committed. Tbe erwiswiJibe reached waea the- savages go into camp here. Then it will only take a spark to set off tbe whole magazine. Artillerymen were galloping through the camp to-day. placing their guns in more commanding positions. Everything is now so arranged that any hostile demonstrations on the part of the savages will be met by a fire which will instantly crush them. This evening General Miles sent the fol lowing communication to Buffalo Bill, wbo is in command of the Nebraska State treope : "I am glad to inform you that tbe entire body of Indians are now camped near hare, within a mile and a half. Tbey show every disposition to comply with the orders of tbe authorities. Nothing but an accident can prevent peace being established, and it will be our ambition to make it of a permanent character.. I fecial hat the State troops can now be withdrawn with safety, and desire through you to express to them my thauks for the confidence they have given your people in their isolated homes. Like infor mation has this day been given tleneral Colby." now THE r.EDS CAME I!f. Omaha, Neb, Jan. 12. A World-Herald special from Tine Ridge says : The head of the band reached the s-ency at noon and the balance are slowly coming in. Most of tbem are unarmed, having hid their arms in the sand hilis. It has been decided not to at tempt to disarm tbe few that have guns, lor the rea-on that theycau easily procure more from the traders. Geueral Miles has divided the hitttiles at the Agency. The Brules were left at the Mission, while the Ogallallas were ordered in. The Brules will be sent overland to the Rosebud Agency, where they belong, under the guard of troos. Already the Indians have begun to pack up thtir gootis, preparatory to marching home. General Miles says that the Indians are in bad shepe and tbey have done well to get in as toon as they did. There is rejoic ing at Pine Ridge over the jieaotful outcome of tbe war. The Opillallas wens delighted to get back to tbe Agency. The Brules were a little sullen, but now that the Ogallallas have left them they sec the futility of at tempting to tight. That the war is over ia the general opinion of all. Pins Rii;e A;tscv, S. D. Jan. II. Ova. Miles determined this morning not to par hy or confer again with the Indians. This morning he sent a messenger to the hostiles camped at tbe Mission, stating his terms. He said they must come it:to the agency in small squads, and go into camp on their grounds near the friendly Indians. lie would not object if they chose their own tamping grounds, but the Brules and Ogal lallas must not camp together, and tbey must submit to the laws of the reservation and to the agent. Father Crafts was seen this morning. Tbe venerable priest is slowly improving. He was asked what he thought of a peaceful settlement. He said: ''The situation la very serious, and the Indians must be very carefully handled or there will be more trouble." ' "What is the canse of this war, Father?" '"The Indians have been starved and left naked ; not this year only, but for years." The Indian Population. The Census Offices yesterday completed the report ofSpecial-Agent Donaldson, which states the total population of the Indians of the country, exclusive of Alaska, to be 244, "o4.

Dodging the women. HAsatsnrBu, January 12. There was a lively scene in the rotunda of tbe Capital to night. Between six and seven hundred fe male applicants for positions ua sweepers and scrubbers in the hall of the House and committee rooms congregated to learn their fate. As only about one hundred are em ployed the biennial gathering of anxious women are generally followed by impreca tions on tbe heads of dipensers of the posi tions from the unfortunate aspirants. As a precautionary measure Chief Clerk Morri son, who is the appointing person, absented himself and selected as his substitute to an nounce the names of the lucky persons Ed. Householder, wbo has charge of tbe eleva tor. Householder, realizing that it would be perilous to make the announcements within reach of the disappointed womea, took his position in the elevator, midway between the first and second Moors, and as soon as he had completed tbe unpleasant task assigned him, rapidly descended to the basement and escaped from the wrath of those whom he bad not on tbe list. Although the scrubbers and sweepers re ceive only half a dollar a night, one of tbe applicants owns several brick bouses and a large tract of land. Frosts Freaks In Europe). Loxoos, Jan. 10.

The bone erahiut exierimiiit tried at tbe Bellerue Hospital, New York, wLcre a dog's leg was grafted to tbat of a U3 has been re peated at the Mercy Hospital. The case of Johnny Get Inns aud his dog Yip has att rail ed attention all over tbe country and the first attempt to imitate it was made in Pius burgh, and it thought that the operation of the New York physicians can be improved upon. Tbe case at the Mercy Hospital was that of Sam uel Ridin, an year-old Hebrew boy. Six weeks airo the boy fell at his home in Geimanv. which bis family were about to leave, and broke his leg below the knee. His leg was attended toat once and' the family started on their jonrney to America. On the trip across tbe ocean the boy became very much debilitated. They came atraigbt through to Pittsburgh, and on their arrival the boy was very weak and lib He was treated at his home, in tbe rear of No. 417 Fifth avenue, by Ir. Buchanan for a week. On December 21 be was removed to tho Mercy Hospital. It was found that the bone of the broaen leg bad become decayed, and for a distance of six and a half inches below tbe knee was rot ten. The father of the boy, Mr. Abraham Radin, would not consent to the leg being amputated, but he agreed to having the bone-grafting operation tried. THE OSAFTIXG t'KOCESS ADOPrEU. It was decided to try the operation and on last Wednesdays week ago the first step in the operation was taken. Tbe deceased leg, tbe right one, was opened and tbe decayed bone for the length of 0 inches removed. The ends remaining were then carefully scraped and cleaned, and tbe leg placed in a plaster pari cast. The boy was returned to bed and carefully attended, and yesterday the operation was performed. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Doctors J. J. Buchanan, II. R. Hardtmayer, W. S. R bison and bouse physicians McMsnua, Meyer and Leisher were present to commence work. Mr. Radin, the boy's father, had procured two little black and-tan puppies about five weeks old, which he brought to the hospital yesterday morning. Tbe boy was a frail, delicate little fellow, and on account of this tbe slight bones of the small dog were pre ferred. The lad's condition was excellent, he having slept well and had a good appetite. He was not put under the influence of any drug, but sat up and witnessed the whole operation. TR1XKV WAS THE VICTIM., The two dogs, which were christened Trixej and Gyp, were then produced for the cacrifioe. Trixey was put in use, Gyp being reserved for a second resort. Ether was ad ministered to Trixey, after which the lower part of the bind leg of the dog was amputa ted. The dog's bone was then pinched off with forceps into about filty pieces. Thesn were placed in the grauulatious of the tissue of the boy's leg where it had surrounded the old bone. All of the pieces of the di'g's leg were nsed in the operation. When the pieces of bone bad been plaos-1 In portion the wound was covered with a piece of oiled silk and the leg drcised with antiseptic gauze. Tbe boy was next removed to his bed and placed u-ider the charge of Resident Physician F. T. McManus to await results. The father of tbe boy was aot present dur ing the operation. Tbe dog used died from the effects of the ether. rHYsiriAxs hope fob BErrea besclts. The operation performed was the one which proved a failure in the case of Johnny Gethiusby reason of the dog's bone not unit ing with tbe ossiloos tissue of the boy's leg. The twitching of the muscles in thedjg's leg prevented its adhesion to the bay, but, in this case, the physicians think they have overcome this difficulty by putting in the bone in small pieces, one pieces having been used in the Gethius case. It will take but a few days to tell if the operation is a succe:-s. Iu cate it (ails then the second dog w ill be nsed and tbe process of uniting the leg of tbe living dog to that of tbe boy, which was successful in tbe Gethius case will be tried. Last night the boy was in an excellent con dition and the physicians said that every thing was favorable and indicated success. The father of the boy took charge of the live dog to keer him until it is deterraitud jf it will b needed. Mr. Radin ia a German Hebrew and a peddler by occupation. Tha Delamatera Clv Ball. Meapville, Ta., Jan. 9. G. B. Dclamater, G. W. Delamater, the Republican candidate for Governor, and T. A. Delamater, the members of the firm of Delamater Co., bankers, who assigned recently, were this afternoon summoned !efore Aldermen Dougan, charged with embezzlement. The complaint was made by the outgoing boa:d of County Commissioner, whose term cf office expired last Monday, and, stripped of legal verbiage, States that H. I'. Marley, E. J. Bailey, and W. J. Lindsay, tbe ex -Commissioners, charge Delamater Jt Co. wilh the embezzlement of upward cf :J,000 of the county funds, having received the ce posits of the County Treasurer while know ing themselves to be insolvent, and convert ing tbe same to their own use. The com plaint was made nnder the provisions of the act approved Msy 9, 183!, relating to the receiving cf dfosit8 by insolvent bankers, a law in favor of which Senator Delamater voted. Tbe complaint was read, a plea of not guilty entered and a hearing waived. Bonds were given by each of the defendants ia the sum of $10,00 for their appearance at the February term of court, with Ebfar Hu;d koper and D. G. Richmond as securities. A test cae will probab'y be presented for argu.Tient in court next Monday to decide if bank balances are an offset to notes new held by other parties, but originally a loon madtr by Delamater fe Co. There are quite a num ber of these cases, and an organized effort will no doubt be made by a number of rsons interested in the vslidity of such offsets. The suits against the Dclamaters are due to the poor showing made by the statement of the appraisers appointed to examine the assets aud liabilities of tbe firm. That state ment was filed this week. It shows that the liabilities are (1 ,040,000, and the assets in round numbers about $300,000, so that the creditors cannot hope to recover much more than per cent on their claims. A public meeting of unpreferred creditors will he held on Monday to take ateps for an investigation of what became of the money. Senator Wallaca'a Hard Lines. A special to the Philadelphia Pro from Clearfield says : WilHsof' A. Wallaces as signees have failed to furnish tbe bond re quired, in the sum of $1,000,000, and as a result a settlement with the creditors through the assignees has been practically abandoned. Executions have been issued upon judgment of the record. The personal property of the ex -Senator, including his valuable libraries of miscellaneous books, ana law books have been sold. Alt bis real estate has been levied upon and will be sold on Friday, January 30th. This turn of affairs was wholly unexpected by tbe creditors here, who supposed that by giving him time Mr. Wallace won'.d be enabled to pay his debts in full and have something to spare. As it is thepropsrty will probably be sacrificed and tbe judgement creditors will receive but a small percentage of their claims, while these who are unsecured will fart much worse. Burled In Snow. Yieska, Jan. 12. Information re-wived here from Seraicvo, the capiui of U.nia, shows that a serious disaster has visited Livno. Aa avalanche crashed down fnra the mountains close by that place and a number of bouses in the tjwn were com pletely buried in the mow. The immerse weight of tbe snow crushed the houses tip on which it fell and their ocenpant were buried in the ruins of iheir dwellings. At tempts were immediately made to recover the bodies of tbe dead and to extricate the living. So far the rescuers have suc-ee led in recovering the bodies of seventeen per-.ons who were crushed to death. In addition to the dead they have removed a number of persons who are severty injured.
