The party which shall lift this

the Republicans of California may

that the Republicans of the East

The announcement of Gortcha-

al Chancellorship has caused no
surprise here. But for German in
trigues against him be would have
retired sooner. His personal dig
nifty required, despite ill health,
that he should retain his office un-
til the attacks on him had ceased.
The names of various persons are
mentioned in connection with his
probable successor. Even that of
General Ignatieff is hinted at.
Count Schouvalof does not seem
to have any chance, as he is be-
lieved to be in disfavor, owing to
the efforts Of a parsonage whose
influence over the Gar is none the
less strong from its being unac-
knowledged and exercised only in
private. Palace intrigues are
nearly as common in Russia as in
Constantinople. The story of fe-
male enemies at the Russian Court

orally believed.

COURTHOUSE JANITORs.
They Must Keep on Working and Get nj
Recommendation,

The question whether the Courthouse
janitors recently appointed shall get their
money or not was decided to-day.
Mr.. John Koehler, of the County Com
missioners' office, was the one to bring the
suit as test case, as the County Treasurer
refused him payment
The case came up in the District Court.
The Court referred to the duties of the Com
missioners as provided by law to provide
accommodations for the Courts, and to en-
ploy proper persons to keep the rooms in
good condition. The Court held that un-
der the law appointing Board of Control
all appointments and matters of money
should be presented to that Board for its
approval, and this not having been done
the Treasurer was not bound to honor the
warrants or pay the bills.
The Court further stated that they de-
sired to express their opinion as to the duty
of the Board of Control, and that was,
where any persons were employed to do
such work around the Courthouse they
were to confirm the appointments and
bills.
Judge Cox delivered a dissenting opin-
ion, holding that the Board of Control had
nothing to do with the appointment of Off
GERS in question, and that the Treasurer
was bound to pay the amount the warrant
of the Auditor called for.

just received from Green Hole, on Crocus
Creek, Cumberland County, reports won
derful outburst of petroleum, gas and salt
water on the Rowe farm. Great rocks were
upheaved, and streams of oil ard salt water
spurted for a distance of four hundred
yards, deluging several large tobacco barns
in the vicinity. Late at night thought
less person struck match to light his pipe,
and instantly the flood of petroleum and
gas was in flames
The tobacco barns belonging to Mr. G. W.
Hurt burned as if made of paper, and the
blaze Illuminated the country for miles
around. The burning flood of petroleum
continued till early the next morning,
when il was succeeded by an immense flow
OF salt water, which at once extinguished
the flames. The fountain has gradually de-
creased until it now is not elected over a
hundred feet, but the people are in perpet-
ual dread lest it burst forth again at any
moment The explosion was at first like
that of heavy artillery and the upheaval
similar to that of an earthquake.
