The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-02-03
BRIEF TELEGRAsIs.


Washington: The senate passed the
concurrent resolution concerning the
electoral count without any material
changes and without roll call or divi-
sion. 1t is universally conceded to-
night that the electoral resolution will
promptly be acquiesced in by the house
of representatives. Hence there is no
longer any prospect of an extra session
of congress.
Harrisburg: Fifteenth ballot, Wallace
81, Oliver so, Grow 81. Adjourned.
The Canadian parliament is pressing
the Pacific railroad bill through, per-
mittingno amendments or notifications
of the original draft of the act.
Cincinnati: Garfield says: There are
eighteen delegations pressing Foster FOR
the cabinet. Now don't you think Ohio
has already had too many appoint
ments and honors? Don't you think
the most grateful thing an Ohio presi-
dent can do is to leave Ohio out of the
cabinet altogether.
A special to the Chicago Tribune
argues that the whole Ponca Indian
question is a sharp device of the Pacific
railroad to gobbIe the Indian lands.
Austin, New: The sheriff of Lander
county has levied on three freight and
ono paocaprar t,oi, NJ D,tfIa Mo,,
tain to satisfy judgment of S24 900
for delinquent taxes for 1880 due from
the Central Pacific railroad company.
AS fast as the trains come in they are
tied up by the sheriff.
College Point, L. l.: Charles Barn
gert, two daughters and three young
women while coasting down hill were
unable to stop the sled which ran off
the wharf and broke through the ice in
Flushing bay. All were rescued but it
is though that two of the women will
die from the shock and cold. Shortly
afterwards another sled of coasters ran
off at the same place. All were rescued
but almost perished.
Albany: The assembly has passed the
bill to prevent the consolidation of
telegraph companies.

lines $4,000; mail bags S15, 900; mail
locks and keys $4,000.
Raleigh, N. c.: The burnt portion
of Plymouth is thickly built with stores
and warehouses, and the fire swept away
every building with its stock. The
losses, divided up, amount to S12S, 600;
no insurance.
Fort Concho, Tex: Another soldier
of company Z, 10th cavalry, William
Watkins, colored, was murdered in San
Angelo by stranger. The shooting
was unprovoked.
Cincinnati Archbishop Purcell is
reported paralyzed, the entire left side
of his body being dead to feeling. Men

ulated by the shock. His physicians
anticipate no immediate danger.

phia, exploded her boiler tonight off
Chase's wharf in this city. -Four men
were killed-three white and one col

00J, one million in the treasury, credit
unsurpassed and prosperity excellent.
Ann Arbor: Two women claiming to
hail from Detroit spent the. evening at
a hotel with a student, Henry A. Fair
banks, of Ontario, playing cards.
About midnight there were high words
and the women fled just as Fairbanks
put bullet through his head causing
almost instant death. One of the wo-
men claimed to be his wife. He had
evidently premeditated suicide as let
ter on his pers proved.
Spring Lick, KY: Wiley Embrey,
respected farmer Of Butler county,
and six children, burned to death Fri

escaping. The children slept up stairs
where the fire broke out, and Embrey
