Senator Window Nominated Without Oppo-

The Republican members of the Leg
islature met in the hall of the House
of Representatives at Saint Paul on
Thursday evening January 18th. to NOM
mate candidate for U. s. Senator,
Representative A. r. Hall was chosen
chairman of the caucus, and J. p.
West, Secretary. Ninety out of the 10l
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture were present. Senator Yale, of
Winona, nominated Mr.. Window in the
following speech: -
Mr.. Chairman-''1 suppose we have
met here this evening for the purpose
of nominating a candidate for the U.
S. Senate, and I rise to present the
name of Hon. William Window for
that position. 1t gives me the greater
pleasure to move this nomination, be-
cause the gentleman has been neigh
Dor of mine for twenty years, and I
know him perhaps as well as any gen.
tleman in the State of Minnesota, and
I will not be accused of indulging in
fulsome praise when say that as a
man, in his everyday walk, he has no
superior in the State. His sixteen
years service at Washington has been
credit to himself and an honor to the
State which he 50 ably represented,
and when we, as the representatives
of the people, come together, 1 know
of nothing we could do which would
give those people more satisfaction
than to do as they did in Michigap

Commodore Vanderbilt is Dead.

Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt
died aLS.lS O'Clock, a. H., Of The 4th inst. He
remained perfectly conscious to the last mo.
nent of his life, and died almos: withou. a
Struggle. For several days it had been apra-
rem, to his physicians that his hours were
numbered, and thai al most he could live only
lew days or week. At four O'Clock that
morning his condition became rapidly worse,
aud he expressed a desire to see Rev. Dr.
Deems, his spiritual adviser. The latter Ar.
rived in a few minutes, and Commodore Van

The music seemed to soothe him. All his

His eldes. son, William H. Vanderbilt, arrived
soon after midnight aud remained to the end
All his daughters We're present, and his wife,
who has beeu present by his bedside during
the entire period Of his sickness, was at her
post, as usual. Drs. Lindsay and Elliot were
also in attendance. They warned both Com
modore Vanderbilt and his friends to expect
lie worst. It is estimated by those in p posi-
ton to judge, that Commodore Vanderbilt was
the owner OF securities having present mar
ket value Of about Ss5, 100000, and of this to-
tai fully $50, 200, 900 consisted of stock in the
New York Central and Hudson River rail-

The Eastern Snow Storm.

The new year snow storm III the

in the streets, the horse cars were Unable to
make their usual trips, and thousands had to
wade through the snow for miles to their
places of business. Travel was greatly i'm

We venture to say that outside of a
secondhand clothing store, no collec
ton Of coats exists as such as adorns the
wall in the rear of the Express office.
They are Of every known style, cut,
and material, from the immense
Ulster to the dainty linen, and com
prise the accumulated wardrobe of at
least a dozen individuals. The most
of them have done good service on the
various stage routes leading out OF
Eureka, serving to keep the wearers
comfortable in the face of the bleak
storms that prevail in this section dur.
ing the winter season. Our friend
Andre has opened communication
with a New York dealer in cast OIL
garments, and expects to realize quite
a fortune in tho disposal of the stock
on hand. We thus publicly notice his
thrifty intentions in order that the
messengers may reclaim their proper
ty before he effects the trade.

Mr.. Nislsen, a pupil of the celebrated
Lumby, is IN excellent violinist, aud

Miss Irving executes with wonderful

most equal to that OF Patti. They are

Colonel Lightner, in company with
j. J. Corrigan, paid the Eureka Con-
solida,ed mine a visit yesterday, ex-
ploring 1t from the fifth tn below the
ninth level, devoting the greater por-
ton of the day To the work. He ex-
presses himself as astonished at the
developments made and the great
amount of ore in sight, and does not
hesitate to say that the Eureka Consol.
idated is one OF the best mines that
ever came under his observation. As
he puts il, no one seeking an invest
ment need he afraid to employ his
money i'm the building OF a row of
brick buildings in Eureka, for from
what he saw he should conclude that
the mine is not only rich but perina-
nent. The Colonel will leave for San
Francisco this morning, unless he
concludes to visit the Richmond, in
which event he will stay over II
more day. The Colonel, since his de-
parture from San Francisco, las been
under the protection of his friend Cor
rIgan, and Notwithstanding the fact
that he Is a man of robust health and
excellent constitution, the attentions
showered upon him begin to exercise
a most depressing effect upon his bodi-
ly strength, saying nothing about the
depreciation of his usually high moral
standard,

Mineral Hill.

Captain John Plummer, lately a
resident of Canada, and for a long
time connected with the Lake Supe-
rior mines, arrived at Mineral Hill on
Tuesday last, and took charge OF the
English Company's mining property
at that place. The mine and mill have
been the subject of much litigation
among the English stockholders aud
was placed in the Courts of Chancery
some time ago, since when no
work has been lone beyond the crush
ing of outside ores. Messrs. John
Taylor & Co., who originally con-
trolled the mine. have paid up all
claims, thus removing it from the ju-
risdiction of the courts. We under
stand that they done so on the report
of a noted expert, who recommended
the exploration of the mine and its de-
velopment, and tn At they will expend
a considerable amount OF Ca pital to
prove the value of the property. Cap
tain Plummer will employ quite a
forceof men in the various shafts and
levels, and the diamond drill will be
use to explore and determine the 10
cation Of the ore bodies. Improved
drilling machinery has been purchased
and will 500 be on the ground and at
work. Superintendent Bousfield. who
had charge of the properly during the
term that it was controlled by the Chan
Gerry Courts, recommended that the
mine be opened and explorations car
ried on by the above means, and the
owners adopted his suggestions. The
old bonanzas that gave to Mineral
Hill its reputation are likely to be re-
placed by new ones at u further
| depth, and we look to see the town as
| lively as in days of wore.

to purchase water at the rate of two

In the suit of the Trojan Mining
Company against John w. Pearson,
to force an accounting, the taking OF
testimony was begun in San Francisco
last Friday before Warren Olney, to
whom Judge Morrison referred the
matter. On the part OF the stockhold-
ers it is alleged that Pearson got IN his
hands some $4,000 of the funds OF the
company, and that he has made no
satisfactory accounting for about S5o,,
600. Pearson is the "duck" WHO use
