Sailed GOLD BRICKS FOR SALE.
How swindle was No. perpe,ra.ed.

eS~ . YVES kNOk TGfpCUAkGu
New YORK, May 3.-William johnson,
apparently Californian, is prisoner at
police headquarters charged with attempting
to Introduce in the city peculiar western
swindle, the complainant being Col. C. FL
lis, of No. 40 South St., who is in the tow
boat business. Johnson presented to him
letters of introductions from the President
OF the National Bank of Stockton, Cal, and
other well known business men in the west.
The letters, doubtless forgeries, We're ad-
dressed to bank Presidents and Others in the
city, and spoke of the bearer as man of in
tegrity and honor. Mr.. Ellis accordingly
treated his visitor with much consideration
On Monday, johnson called ON him and pro-
ceeded to tell long story of saving the life
Of burglar who had robbed bank in Cali
forna and who told him where the odd was
buried and he now sought Mr.. Ellis advice
and asked him to 60 with him and see the
gold which the burglar was, in gratitude, to
share with him. This made Ellis suspicious
He made an appointment for the next day
and had detectives ready to attend to the
matter. Ellis met johnson at the Compton
House who showed him a gold brick and
said he had Is such bricks worth $1,000 each
which he would sell for $500 each. Mr..
Ellis seemed anxious to close the bargain,
but objection was made as he did not have
all The gold there. Another meeting was
appointed and Mr.. Ellis left with johnson
when the detectives arrested him. The
practice has been to make the gold brick
which Is exhibited of base metal with one
corner of genuine geld and across the middle
streak of bullion, through which saw is
ran. johnson gave his age as 80 years and
his residence as No. 80 West 4Sth st. 1t is
believed that other persons less sharp and
less fortunate than Mr.. Ellis may have been
swindled.

THE CONTESTED NOMINATIONS.

Rumors of the Disposition that Will be Made.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The discussion in
the Senate executive session to-day on the
Chinese treaty assures its ratification by a
large majority. The final vote is expected
to be reached tomorrow. In regard to the
so-called contested nominations that under
agreement of the Republican caucus this rule
can only apply to, the Robertson case and
Chambers nomination will surely be acted
on. A Senator who has taken an active part
in organizing opposition TO Chandler saws
Conkling, Logan, Bayard and Lamar, and
probably Judge Davis of the Judiciary Com
mittee will vote for an adverse report. Ed
munds and Garland are absent. ingalls, and
Mcmillan are counted to vote for favorable
report. Judge Davis has not expressed him
self, but four Of the five members here are
sufficient. All the Democrats and six Re-
publicans, namely, Conking, Plat, N. Y,
Cameron, Pa, Logan, Jones, New, and Nit
chell, together with Malone, are classed as
opposed to Chandler. Logan when asked by
George, who was going away, to pair on
Chandler said he could not as he intended to
vote against Chandler. The rule of Repub-
lican senators that the objection of one sena-
tor from the state to which the nomination
belongs shall send the nomination over
cannot apply to Chandler, Stanley Matthews,
or Sheldon, as the two former are nominated
to fill national positions and Sheldon for
Governor of territory. Senator Sherman
has given to Shedon's friends his assurance
that he will not fight Sheldon but content
himself with voting against him. Matthew's
friends claim majority for him, and assert
the Judiciary committee agreed to report the
nomination. So IT'S plain that Robertson's
is the only nomination that will be laid over
under this agreement. The President does
not intend to interfere with the senator's
prerogatives by making any contest for Rob-
ertson's nomination, but his friends in the
Senate know from the President himself he
is DESTROYS of having the nomination acted
on, and they, it is believed will bring it up.
1t is reported Hawley has expressed bitter
determination to secure the discharge of the
Commerce committee and take up the case
if there is any excessive delay in the report
on Robertson. Now that the Senate has re-
sumed executive business the President will
will send in nominations rapidly.

THE DELIGHTS OF A CAR
The Pleasure of a Residence in a Russian Pal

LONDON, April 2S.-A letter from St. Pc
tersburg gives gloomy account of the new
Cars life at Gatschina, 80 miles from the
capital. Before the court removed thither
several hundred artisans of the Preobazipski
regiments were sent to make the necessary
alterations. AT midnight they assembled in
the church at Gatschina and were sworn to
silence, death or Siberia being the penalty of
the oath. Ten roubles were the price of
each mans silence, and the alterations were
made in 4S hours. Vodki soon loosened the
tongues of the working men and the follow
ing is description of the precautions against
assassination made in the palace of the Gar.
A subterranean passage leads from the Cars
room to the stable, where numbers of horses
are Kept saddled and bridled day aud night.
Sentnels are posted at intervals of 20 yards
all around the building. The imperial bed
room has two windows, protected at night by
massive iron shutters, which can only be
reached from outside by passing through
three spacious ante-chanbers, in which are
placed ~ Cossacks armed TO the teeth. They
are allowed to speak and move about in two
outer rooms, but in the hall adjoining the
Cars bedroom perfect silence is maintained.
The General while on duty sits in An easy
chair, his Cossacks sitting on divan which
runs around the whole room. On the Cen
erals right Is knob of an electric apparatus.
which rings a bell In every guard house on
the Palace grounds. When the Emperor Is
about to retire, before shutting the door, he
turns the outer handle, so that no entrance
can be effected until he personally opens the
door from the inside. Unlike his father, he
cannot endure armed soldiers in his bed
chamber. Several mines have been discov-
cred at st. Petersburg, and a quantity of dy-
Mantle was seized just after il had been in
troduced into the court ward of the r.i.c. ~
Gatschina, concealed in a lead of hay. The
Czarina is seriously Ill, being subjected 20
severe nervous attacks and strange halluci-
nations.
Hessy Helfman's illness Ia to be brought

thought will be the signal for the execution.

The Havoc O! the Flood.

ST. Louis, April 29.-The Republicans
Lexington, Mo-, special says: The Missouri
river is % feet and 5 inches higher than it
has been since 1914. The Ray and Lafayette
county bottoms are submerged and are be-
ing rapidly depopulated. No lives have yet
ben lost, but thousands of horses, cattle and
hogs must inevitably perish. The ferry boat
Undine, with a gallant volunteer crew, has
been at work two days, rescuing endangered
people. To-day she brought out of the bot
toms 2GO persons, 300 animals, Is loaded wa
CONS and 50 wagon loads Of household goods.
She goes out again tomorrow. The water in
many of the houses from which the people
were taken, was several feet deep, and there
is fearful loss of property and much suf-
fering and distress.

an pastors in Esthel have refused to admins

Of contributing to the prosperity of the

is appended that the tearing down of hand

Wouldn't Displace q Friend.

PIrrsBURa, April 2s.-It appears that w.
A. M. Grier, the original Garfield man from
Pennsylvania, was at first rendered the Sec
ond Assistant Postmaster-Ge neralship, but
MacVeagh interferred and caused Garfield to
believe the Third Assistant would be accept
able. Garfield was greatly surprised at his
declination, and will withdraw the nomina-
ton. 1t seems that the nomination displaced

THERE Is a lively hope that 1881 may see
the general introduction of the electric light,
as 1880 did that Of the telephone. London
has assigned three districts to three systems
Brush, Lontin and Semens--making alto
gethcr about 81 miles Of streets to be lighted
In competition for year. The Brush made
the lowest bid, being the same as that charg-
ed by the gas companies, while the other
two bid higher and according to cost, they
claim. The question Is whether the streets
can be lighted by electricity as cheapIy as
by gas. Electric light undoubtedly dispels
the darkness more effectually, but cities will
not want to pay for superhous light accord
ing TO the amount which such q degree of
light would cost for gas. We doubt il they
will pay any more than they do now. The
New York Sun says that reliability is also a
point TO be gained, the Brush lights on
Broadway having gone out three times since
they were placed on trial.-Sprinafeld Re-

The DeadWood Townsite.

CHICAGO, April 30.-The Inter Oceans
Washington special says: The question of
who owns Deadwood is under consideration.
Placer claimants through their attorney hold
that the site upon which Deadwood is loca-
ted was placer mining ground, and hence
was not subject to townsite entry. On the
other hand the city authorities of Deadwood
by their attorney, claimed the right to enter
1t for u townste, except where mineral lands
could be proven to exist. The case came
before the Secretary on an appeal from the
Commissioner Of the General Land Office,
who held that the land was PLAIN mineral
land and only subject to entry under this
mining law. A decision by the Secretary Is
awaited with interest.

THE Independent says the city council OF
Helena has adopted an ordinance requiring
that all building throughout the city shall be
of stone or brick and that the roofs shall be
of iron or tin. 1t shows that according to
the building rates in Helena brick house is
three times as expensive as frame, and
twice as expensive as veneered house, and
the ordinance will amount In many cases to
o prohibition OF building, as many owners
cannot stand the expense of the more costly
buildings. II would seem that tho city has
made Its fire limits" too extensive.
