Swindle.

The Walking Match-An Apparent
SwIndIe.
New York, Jan. 27.--The score at
noon stood: Hughes, 1868; Cox, 349;
Howard, 34S; Albert, 34s; Krohne, 340;
Vint, 339; Phillips, 317; Curran, 307,
and Campana, $50. Hughes record is
within six miles of the best in any
country, and eleven miles ahead of the
best ever made in the United States.
The Graphic says: The people are
to awaken to the bare fact of
the swindling which is being perpetrated
in the matter of walking matches. 1t
may be doubted whether there has ever
been fair race since the day when
O'Leary won the first agricultural hall
race in London. "Papered" houses
lead the public to believe that enthu.
siastic crowds attend the matches. The
Institute building was densely crowded
on Sunday night, and from 1000 to
0 .000 persons werepresent. There were,
however. 5000 bill board tickets out,
and probably 1000 more complimenta-
ries. Cards could be had,for the ask
ing of any Of the down town pool
rooms.
An unknown person sent a bowl Of
soup to Hughes; his wife tasted it and
became very sick.
Scores at 9p.m: Hughes, 404; Al
bert. 3S7; Cox, 3S5; Howard, 377;
Krohne, 377; Vint, 376; Phillips, $40;

Lost I'm the snow.

San Francisco, Jan. ga dispatch
from Quincy, Plumas county, says:
An accident occurred near here Tues
day evening, before the storm comm
menced miner named Herald and a
lady, name unknown, started to go to
Monte Christie mine,a distance of three
miles, whan the storm caught them and
they both persisted. The body of the
man was found yesterday, but the wo-
man has not been found yet. When
the news of their loss reached the mine
young man named Robinson started
down the mountain on snow shoes to
give the alarm and get help, and on his
trip was caught in snow slide and
buried. About sixty men have been
hunting for the lost bodies of the wo-
man and young Robinson, but up to
this hour they have not found either.
The lady's husband was at work at the
mine. Robinson perished within few
hundred yards of his home.

ran between snow banks from seven

Washington: The democratic leaders
concede to-day that the electoral count
rule cannot be passed, and it will
be abandoned. One more attempt will
be made, however, and then, if they
find themselves unable, by lack of
quorum, to force vote, the measure
will be dropped finally.

WASHINGTON WAITS
Report and Recommendation OF the
Steamer inspectors
Making More Vacancies in the U. y.
Supreme Court.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The house
military committee has agreed to report
favorably Sparks bill for a board of
one major general, brigadier general
ahd three colonels to decide on the cases
of army officers who should be mustered
out Of the service, after such officers
have been heard.
President Dumont, Of the supervis-
ing inspectors of steam vessels, to-day
made report, urging a systematic
practice by crews at stated periods, so
that they shall have regular stations in
case of emergencies, and so that disas-
ters Ike that of the Seawanhaka may
be avoided, the officers failing to COM
ply with such regulations to have their
licenses revoked. The matter was re-
ferred to the committee on the disci-
pline of officers.
A resolution to establish rule to
provide for the capacity of small boats
on ocean steamers and the number of
such boats to be carried on river steam
ers, was also referred to the commit
tee.
The committee on rules and regula-
tions, to whom was referred certain
communications relative to rule ten of
the steamboat rules, submitted reso-
luton which was not fully disposed of.
1t lessons the space between the boilers
and woodwork.
The minority report protests against
a change of the present rule, which
reads: Rule 10, All steamers hereafter
constructed, navigating the ocean,
sounds, lakes, bays and rivers, shall
have space of not less than 16 inches
on all sides of the boilers, and at the
back end of all such toilers there shall
be a clear space OF two feet.

THE SUPREME BENCH.
senator Davis Bill for Retiring JUS
ficea

Senator Davis Bill for Retiring JUS
tices.
Washington, Jan. .27.-The bill in
troduced day before yesterday by Sem
ator Davis. Of Illinois, to provide for
the resignation or retirement, with full
pay, of the United States judges, who
may become permanently disabled by
reason Of sickness or otherwise, so as
to prevent the discharge of their duties,
will be favorable reported from the ju-
dietary committee.
1t is understood to be intended main
ly to meet the cases of Justices Cliff
ford and Hunt of the United States su-
preme court. Judge Clifford's recent
attack has so impaired his mind that
he is not capable of going through the
form of rendering his resignation in
writing, and thus reaching retirement
in the mode provided, and Judge Hunt,
unless some such bill as this be passed,
will postpone his resignation until he
shall become 70 years of age. His res
ignation would totally deprive him of
the salary which he needs for the sup
port of his family.
Senators Edmunds, Thurman, Conk-
ling and Lamar, all of whom are col
leagues Of Judge Davis. on the Judi
ciary committee, will unite with him in
voting to report this bill with a recon-
mendation for passage, and although
there is no prospect. of its getting
through both houses this session, as an
independent measure. there is reason
to believe that it may be attached to
one of the annual appropriation bills as
a proviso, and thus pave the way for
President Garfield to make two appoint
ments to the supreme bench soon after
his inauguration.
