HE effort of lot of politicians to crowd
Judge Drummond off the bench has come
to naught, as that gentleman declares his
intention of sticking to his desk long as
he is mentally and physically able to dis
charge the duties of his Office, even though
he is entitled to retire at full pay. The bench
is more honored by Judge Drummond's
presence upon it than is he by his occu-
pancy of it. No ADLER or more impartial
jurist wears the ermine, and our judiciary
will suffer whenhe is compelled to retire.

The Rocky Mountain Wimter

The paralysis of General Merritt's
strong expedition by stress of wintry
weather on its march into the Ute coun-
try from the north is an event for which
there have been many precedents in that
region. Although it seems to cause
some astonishment among people here
who are basking in Indian summer sun
shine, it is not at all surprising to any,
body who has campaigned among the
Rocky Mountains at this season of the
year. twenty-five years ago General
Albert Sidney Johnston's military expe-
dition against the rebelious Mormons
was brought to standstill 10 the same
manner at the close of October, and the
strongest force the United States had
gathered since the Mexican war was
compelled to go into cantonments
scarcely a hundred and fifty miles
distant from Salt Lake City and wait
till June before resuming its advance.
The wind sweeps with terrible fury
over those lofty table lands. Every ra-
vine fills rapidly with the finely powder
ed snow. 1t is not uncommon for creeks
to be blocked with drifts reaching from
bluff to bluff for several miles. There
is scanty supply of fuel. LII the ogen
country sage bushes and greasewood are
almost the only forms of vegetation. II

more lonely and dreary than those which
now surround General Merritt's camp.
Meanwhile where are his Indian enemies?
Even if the season would permit him to
move against them, whittier shall he
march? They have scattered lik- the

tracks.-N. Y. Herald.

REGULAR MEETING LAST EYENING-
sTAULCUP RUN SEWER.
The Board OF Health met last evening
in regular session, President Monaghan
10 the chair.
The Committee on Accounts reported
the bill of K. b. Frazer, Secretary of the
Board for $40 as correct, and an order
was directed to be drawn for the
amount.
Mr.. Bennett, from the Second Ward,
reported that the Staulcup Run beiween
Second and Third streets, and Wa Init
and Poplar streets, was in a very bad
condition, and thar the residents in tbr
vicinity we're complaining of it. The
bad cond ton of the sewer was owing to
the recent rebuilding, one part OF it
being at least fifteen inches higher than
the other, and this caused all the refuse
matter To collect in one place.
Col Singley, thought that the only
way to clean the sewer out was for thu
8. rect Commissioner to open the fire
plugs at the corner of Fourth and Wal
nut, Fourth and Fifth and Poplar streets
and allow the water TO run for about
half a day, which would wash the sewer
out.
On motion of Mr.. Bennett, the sewer
was declared nuisance, and the Secre-
tary was instructed to notify the Street
Commissioner to open the hre plugs az
suggested by Col. Singley. The time
allow for the work to be done being
iortv-eight hours.
Mr.. Lannan Introduced the following
resolution, which was on motion OF Mr..
Hayes, laid over until the next meeting
of the Board:
Resoiyed, hat the Board of Health
request the City Council to amend sec
1, page 1856, of the City Ordinance book.

voters and independent newspapers,
sidiHg with those of the party to be do
frauded, would form too strong an op-
position to be defied. A few moderate
Democrats in Congress would have the
power to prevent the carrying out OF
such a scheme. No; If we have say

"But suppose the result should depend
upon one small State, like Colorado, or

up claim of irregularity and throw out
that State? ?"

he was so near conviction that lie was

OUTRAGES by TIE sAvAGEs.
A large party of whites took she ter al

sixteen dead bodies were found at the

th Sc who were killed was one William
Jones, who, before surrendering his own
life, killed four Indians. The savages
cut off his head and in many ways mutt
lated his body. There were seven lanc-
holes through the body when it was
found. Several Mexican trains were at

Il Berks COusatH Bonanza.

A few years ago Samuel Bittenbender,
who resides near SeishOlizville, Berks
county, owned poor farm with poor
farm buildings, and his lands were rocky
and not in the best condition.. The fact
is Samuel was a rather poor man, in
debt, and scarcely able to keep out of the
sherili's hands. Now things have great
ly changed, all on account Of the discov
eIies of rich deposits of iron ore on his
farm, which may well be termed the
"Blttenbender bonanza" The mine is
now leased to the philadelphia and
r, aiding Coal and Iron Company, and
Mr.. b. tender receives so cents per ton
royalty for all the ore taken out. AS the
production is 100 tons per day he
has an income of $50 per day, and is rap
IDLY grow ing rich. We see 1t stated that
Mr.. BittenOender is able to buy a farm
every few weeks, and is acquiring real
estate so rapidly that he will soon be
one of the largest laad owners in Berks

plant il that new porti on of the sew

is about fifteen inches lower than the

of course, causes the water to back, and
as the sewer is used to carry away the

ment, this oHal now obstructs the sewer

OF LENGTH AND LIvEIINESS AT THE
POLICE COURT LAST NIGHT.

VT AND LIN Al
POLICE COURT LAST NIGHT.
The familiar features of John Mcguire
look over the dock-railing at the police
court and Johns familiar remonstrance
with the Mayor tegan to be heard as soon
as the first witness had been called
against him. The charge was habitualy
loafing around the freight house of the
I. w. u b. X. X. Co., at Fourth and
Pine streets. This was sust aimed, but
John persistently repeated that he had
gone to the freight house to get work.
As he had about fourt cen other bummers
around him at the time his statement
went for naught, and he was fined fifty
cents and costs.
Wesley Mar and VIM. Cloud, two
large boys, were next arraig,ed on COM
plaint of Mr.. Kendall, OF GO7 East Stv-
enth street, who testified that they bad
been common nuisance around his
property for years and constantly annoy
ed him by throwing stones, yelling like
Indians and swearing like the "arny of
Flanders" A penalty of 81 and costs
was imposed Oh each of the Buys.
The fun now commenced when seven
diminutive urchins were put in the dock
on general charge of throwing stones
and inciting riot on two very bright
and intelligent boys named Grier. The
evidence showed that the boys had fol-
lowed the two little Griers home from
school and waited to I'll. ht one of them.
TIE two boys sought refuge in their yard
at 0O4 Elm street, and the others bonn
earded the property with brickbats and
old shoes. Hazewell Grier, aged IL
years, was The second witness. "My lad"
said The Mayor, edo you know the nature
OF an OATH" "Yes sir" was the prompt
response. "What would become of you
If you we're to swear on this book and
then tell liz ?" ''I'd go to h-l," he
answered. The Mayor administered the
oath without another word. When Her
mann Grier, aged IL years, who was the
other complainant, had finished his evi
dence, he added-sAud they also called
me 49,, and didn't think that
was bit pleasant, e ther." The seven
boys were ca III held in the sum of $l0O
bail to keep the p ace.
Frank Parrady and James Develir
were next tried for an assault on John
kibeling, near his home at Fourteenth
and Thatcher str cts. The attack, he
said, was wholly unprovoked, and thu
whole thing was Caused in measure by
the actions OF James Develin who was
constantly deUitin' bin. A cross exaIni-
nation by the prisoners showed the as
sauit to have been slightly more justiiia-
Bile than the complainant painted it, but
it was clearly proved that they were the
aggressors and fine OF Ole dollar was
imposed on each.
Susan Moore, COL, was thu last priso-
ner, and for assault on another cClored
damsel had to pay So and costs.

for murder in the first degree. Freeman
is the man who took his little child's life
in fit of religious frenzy He had been
foremost among the Adventists of PJcas-
set. During the night Of the 1st of May
he awoke his wife and told her that he

ty Child of five years. II o got knife and
stepped up to the couch upon whi ch she
was lying asleep. He hoped that the
Lord would stay his hand, but He did
not, and Freeman raised the knife and
plunged it into the sleeping chili's side.
Edith gave one groan and died. Freeman

Jail. They expected that little Edith
would be raised from the dead on the
third day and were sorely disappointed.
The jury did not indict Mrs. freeman.
