"The force Of men now at work on
the Denver and Bio GraDde Rail-
ways extensions is larger than the
United States armyt' The speaker
was ex Governor Hunt who had just
returned to DenYer from Old Mexi-
co.
"How many men are therep" asked
a Tribune reporter, little awed by
the statement.
"More than 50 ,0oO," returned the
Governor, laconically. "Nearly 10, !
600 Of this number are at work in
Old Mexico. There are 3 900 or 4 900
in New Mexico, 5000 or {, 900 in this
State, and the remainder are scat
tered through Utah and the other
localities where We are now doing
work. Afs gsi 5H5
"The only hindrances we find are
ia not getting the supplies we need.
The people are all right, but timber
is 30 scarce that we have to trans
port all our ties from Louisiana or
FLORIDA. There is a lack of all kinds
Of railroad material down there--ex-
cept men to do the work; we can get
all of them we want. Therere is no
truth at all in the statements that
the Old Mexicans regard railroad en-.
terprises with suspicion or that they
openly or otherwise oppose them.
Why, we are giving bread and butter
to $4,000 of their people-something
they never had before. They haven't
got any very good reason to complain
and they don't seem disposed to-, ) I
wish the people of other regions we
have gone through, had treated US as
we'll as they do in Mexico. The lead
ing and influential men do all they
can to aid the enterprise, and no
difficulty has been experienced in
getting all the depot land we wanted
donated--and the best kind of title
at that. We found IL harder to go
through Colorado than anywhere
else. Even in Leadville we had to
pay $100, 900 for our depot land"
1--WE will soon have q good deal of
road in condition for travel in Mexi-
co.." continued the Governor. "We
will have 2,400 miles of road in Old
Mexico, and this added to that in the
States and Territories, will make
total of over 1000 miles of rail. The
work is progressing rapidly, and 1t
is being pushed with great energy,
Yes," concluded Governor Hunt,
"Old Mexico is going 10 be q great
railroad country, and it has treated
US better than Colorado did,"

Organic Life ON the Comet.

Professor Draper says: "The arpu-
ment that the existence of by dro carbon
compounds IN the comet being estab-
lished, the conclusion follows that or
ganic life bas existed there, since we
have no hydrocarbon compounds on the
earth except as the result OF organic de-
cay, Is true In some of Its premises and
false In Others. 1t probably is true that
we have no such compounds on the
earth except those resulting from organic
life, but 1t is also true that we can form
such compounds by chemical and physi-
cal forces In use, as, for instance, the
voltsic are. How, no physical or chem
cal force can properly be called an ar
tificial force, aud since we do not know
what forces the comet may have been
subjected TO, it Is not safe to say that
organic life necessarily existed in the
comet because we fiud hydro carbon
compound there. The great heat to
which the body was subjected in passing
near the sun would cause the two ele-
ments to unite, and as the comet cooled
they would remain In the compound
form. There is no telling what bodies
we may run into as we whirl through
space at the rate of, say, forty miles a
second; and as such bodies come in con-
tract with our sun they are heated, and
If they are volatile produce comets. It
Is not altogether impossible that the
earth itself may become comet. As
we travel into the unknown realms of
space who can say but that we may ihnd
ourselves subject to the influence of a
sun hotter than our own which win
vaporize our system. The theory Is
that our solar system moves In an orbit
Of which the Pleiades are supposed to be
about the centre. The former theory was
that the earth travelled about our sun
alone. Now IL is known that all bo dies
in space are in motion, SO that we can
extend the whlrling Of those wheels
within wheels Infinitely, and infinite
space may contain q sun hot enough to
make us all comets.n
Prof. Lewis Swift, of the Warner OBJ
servatory, reports that it Is the opinion
OF astronomers generally that the comet
is identical with the one discovered in
Brazil, May 80, called Europe by Dom
Pedro and new comet. Capt. Will
son, when near Demerara, saw two
comets blazing brightly at the same time
In different positions some time ago.,

THOMAS A. SCOTT has died when he
should have been in his prime, and the
generally accredited cause is the exces-
sive mental strain which he had upon
him, during the years Of financial depree-
sion, in saving hisgreat railroad interests
from impending ruin. The Texas
Pacific railroad, which finally yielded
Mr.. Scott great fortune, was probably
the cause of his not living to enjoy it. He
was a man of very remarkable powers,
and no one in the country enjoyed
SO high a reputation for ability
as a railroad manager. He had
great power in this state, which he used
to the advantage of the interests in his
charge but very often not to that of the
people. There can be no doubt that the
state has suffered great injury at his
hands as we'll as great benefit from the
development of the magnificent railroad
whose affairs he administered. Probably
he discharged his duty as he saw it but

FALL FkOna A SCAFFOLD.


About five o'clock yesterday afternoon
rs Harry Icislcy and Valcntinc Hardy wcrc
engaged in putting q board ceiling to tho
hack buihiiu, Of Job Evans house, No.
45S South Queen street, the scaffolding
upon which they were standing gave way
and both men fell distance Of about
twenty feot. first striking tho board fenco
separating Mr.. Evans property from Mr..
Michael Mussclman's, and thence into Mr..
Musselnlan's yard, ,alighting upon the brick
pavement. MIR. Yeisley was picked up in
an unconscious condition and has remained
unconscious upJ tho present time. Ho
was carried into MIR. Mussclman's house
and waited on by Drs. Nj Il. Herr and War
rem. At later hour in tho evening ho
was removed to the home Of his father
George Yeislcy. No. 253 North Mary
street, where he lies ina critical condition.
The extent Ofhis injuries has not yet been
ascertained. Ills head was badly lacer-
ated by striking upon tho fence, and pavo-
meDt and his skull may be fractured, but
this has not yet been fully ascertaincd.
He received severe internal injuries also,
and has spi. blood to some extent. He is
unmarried and about 2J years old.
Mr.. Hardy was less unfortunate. In
striking upon the fence he had his right
arm bally skinned and bruised. and in
alightins upon the pavement he suffered
severe sprain of the right ankle which will
disable him for some time, but his injuries
are not considered dangerous. Hewas re-
moved to his home ON ManOr street.
The scaffold upon which the men were
working was composed of boards, ono end
Of which lay upon the rail Of
the balcony and tho other end upon
a windOw-siIl. A balcony rail had a bend
in it, at ono point, SO as to enable the
window shutter to pass over it, and this Of
course, rs it ran across the grain Of the
wood, fsntleret it weaker At that point
than elsewhere. Besides, the 0anisters
had not yet been placed in the balcony,
and when both men stood close together
their weight was more than the rail would
bear, and it broke with the result above

A "cave in" occurred at the Golden
Terra mine, near DeadwOod, DakOtah, at
seven o'clock on Thursday evening, as the
"night shift of sixty men was entering
the tunnel. About twenty had entered
the tunnel, and thirteen were in the mine
below when the disaster took place. A
large mass of earth fell in at distance of
nearly two hundred feet from the mouth,
filling an ore chamber and making cave
supposed to be about $50 feet long, 100
wide and so deep. BY tho sudden COM
preston of the air, man named Thomas
Green was hurled nearly eighty feet out Of
the tunnel against the side of an open cut,
and killed. Two other men were blown
through the tunnel towards the Highland
mine, and one of them, James Beatty,
being struck by timber. was so badly in
jured that he died soon after. James Far
Icy, ono of the men imprisoned in the
"cave," was also fatally injured, and died
in the mine. All the others were rescued,
some of them having sustained slight in
iuries.

The House Of Representatives at Har-
risburg has adopted an item in the apprO-
priatiOn bill to pay for the completion Of
the statues Of two distinguished Pennsyl-
vanians for the Old Hall Of Representatives
at Washington. This was a matter
neglected by the last Legislature, and the
artists commissioned to perform tho work
have been obliged to suspend it for several
years. Mr.. Howard Roberts has long had
his noble figure Of Robert Fulton com.
pleted III the plaster, and Miss Blanche
Nevin has, VIC believe, made the same
progress with that Of ParsOn Muhlenburg.
But the costly work Of putting them Into
marble Is yet TO be done, and this may
now be accomplished if the appropriation
receives, as it undoubtedly will, the ap-
prOval Of the Senate. A number Of states
already have the statues of their rcprcsen-
tative men in the collection at the capitol,
and it Is good thing that theye is pros
pect Of having those Of Pennsylvania
added to it at last.

Miss Lizzie NJ. Hoar, daughter Of JOS.
HOar, senior partner of the firm. of HOar
y McNabb, died at the residence of her
parents, No. 40 East King street, this
morning about o'clock, after long ill
ness of pulmonary consumption. Miss
HOar was a young lady widely known and
highly esteemed. Sho was o Thoroughly
educated musician, and prior to her ILL.,
ness was regarded as one of the very finest
vOcalists in Lancaster. She was tho lead
ing soprano of the Presbyterian choir,
and OH several occasions took the
leading characters in the cantatas
and oratorios presented to the public by
tho Lancaster Choral society. But it was
in private life, in her hOHc, and among her
intimate acquaintances, that her wOmanly
virtues shone the brightest and it is there
her loss is most severely felt. Through
her long and hopeless illness she was ever
gentle, kind, patient and resigned, with a
firm faith in the saving grace of Him who
ordereth all things we'll. Her funeral will
take place on Tuesday at Q O'C1Ock p. m,

The Philadelphia judges do not always
talk very respectfully to the supreme
court and the supreme court does not
always deserve to be very respectfully
talked to. Judge Briggs had a passage
with the august tribunal not long ago ;
and lately Judge Finletter has had Occa-
sion to make some pertinent remarks
concerning certain decisions of the su-
preme court which, as the Philadelphia
Ledger remarked, "caused people to
shake their heads" Certain highway
commissioners, having been convicted of
conspiracy to defraud the city, were sent
TO Jail on a Friday, sentenced to 4
years imprisonment by Judge Finletter :;
on the next Thursday they were released
on bail by the supreme court, the action
being presumably dictated by Judge
PaxsOn, whose reputation as a political
judge is of long standing, and who sails
with Judge Mercur as close cOnsOrt.
PaxsOn it is said has an eye on the SUI
preme bench of the United States, and
hoped to get there if Wayne Mac Veagll's
appointment had not shut off Pennsyl-
vania's claim to the position. lie would
make an excellent supreme court judge,
of the type of men that are being select
ed for that elevated position. Judge
Finletter is man of different
type, though he is said to have a
like high ambition. But in showing
up the Paxson practices he could hardly
have had it in his mind to injure that
judges chance of promotion to the
United States bench inasmuch as those
practices are the very qualifications calcu-
lated to boost PaxsOn to seat beside
Matthews and Bradley. This is what
Judge Finletter said in judicially review
ing tho supreme courts action in the
matter of the highwaymen
The supreme court was induced to dis
charge the defendants from prison upon
their mere ex parte allegation that error
had been committed at the trial, and this
without notice to the district attorney,
and when there was no exception sealed
and no evidence that the papers presented
were authentic or that any matter alleged
was at all true. Among tho assignments
of error were some entirely false.
It is significant that these errors are not
alleged in the bill of exceptions presented
to me for settlement. Doubtless having
performed their Office in misleading the
supreme court, it was prudent to suppress
them when detection was reasonably Ger
tain. With every respect for the appel
late tribunal, we may regret that the rules
