DECEAsE OF A NATIVE OF BENNING-
ToN.-Dr. Elijah D. Harmon, died at
Chicago on the Sd inst. He was born in
Bennington, on the Goth of August, 1882,
and was, consequently, in his eighty
seventh year at the time of his demise.
At the age of twenty-four, in 1906. he
went to Burlington, and engaged in the
practice of medicine, and he was an
Assistant Surgeon in McDonough's fleet
at the battle of Plattsburg DIR. Harmon
made his first trip from Vermont to Illi-
nois in 1923, but he first went to Chicago
to settle as Surgeon to the garrison at
Fort Dearborn, in the year 1880, and he
was for quite while the only physician
in Chicago. DR.. Harmon was already ad-
vanced in years when Chicago began its
career of rapid growth, and he has spent
his days in the midst of the busting &c
tivity of the young and vigorous city, in
comparative retirement, and like one be-
longing to by-gone generation.

The same committee are investigating
the Wells, Fargo & Co., overland mail
contract. The testimony taken shows
that the bid of Wells, Fargo & Co., wa'
properly accepted, but that the contract
had not been carried out perfectly. The

power, but that occasionally such immense

were thrown upon them, that it could
not be instantly transported across the

but from other testimony taken. Over
two millions of it was paid for the pur-
chase of fire arms, but whether from these

the payment Of the Alaska lobby, does
not appear, and probably will not. The

The last bulletin of progress upon the

markable facts. The first is that one
thousand miles are finished and in opera
ton west of Omaha, reaching across and
beyond the Rocky Mountains, and int
the valley of Great Salt Lake. Great a.
Is the fact, it ON only be duly apprecia-
ted when we consider how short has beer
tn time within which it has been accom-
pli-hed. Three years ago, only forty
miles were bniit, two hundred and sixty
five miles were added in 1866, two hund-
red aud sevonty-fve miles in 1867, and
ab,ur 1--WE hundred miles in 1863. Such
rapidi,y OF construction has had no par
nilei III 81 the history OF railroad engi-
neeriug. But even these statistics, start
ling as they are in their magnitude, do
not tell the whole story. 1t IS when we
bear cousterily in mind the fact that the
starting point Of this road had no railroad
communication when the work was begun;
that the road was built out beyond settle
