NEW YORK LEGISLATURE.

ALBANY, N. Y, July 16.-The joint con-
vention met at noon to-day to vote for
United States Senator in place of Roscoe
Conkling, resigned
Speaker Sharpe rose and asked permission
to make a statement, to which there was 10
objection. He then proceeded to detail the
failure to secure caucus at the start and
referred to the one called by the majority of
the Republicans. He acknowledged its
authority, as it emanated from the majority.
He had delayed action in accordance
with the result of that caucus, because he
saw in the election of the candidates it
nominated great danger. He now warned
the convention of that danger, saying the
Democrats of the United States Sen
ate would do what they could
to make the election futile.
He concluded by saying that when his name
was called he would vote for Elbridge G.
Lapham instead of Roscoe Conl1ling. Zap

The vote was then proceeded with. Sen
ator Forster, when his name was called, ex-
planned his action as a member of the eau
Gus committee. He concluded by voting
when his name was called, denounced IL e
action of Senator Forster and said that
Speaker Sharpe had made the greatest mis-
take of his life. He concluded by voting
for Roscoe Conkling.
Senator Strahan said he was not yet ready
to admit that he had been doing wrong. He
was ready to accept the will of the majority,
but it must come through the regular me-
dium.
/ The combined vote stood as follows
Potter AZ, Lapham 6s, Conkling 80, Evarts

Mother ShI4tvn.

Mother Shipton was veritable charac-
ter, VINO lived more than 800 years ago,
and uttered number of 30 ca led prophe-
cies. They were. for the most part, a
vague, unmeaning jumble of seeming pre-
dictions, applicable to no special event and
without point or general interest. In 1641
q pamphlet containing medley of this
sort. chit fly in haltlng verse, was printed
in Lendol, and her Life and Curious
Prophecies " were given to the public in
1917 La 1862 Mr. Charles Hindley, of
Brighton, England issued what purported
to he an exact reprint of a "chap book
version " of Mother Shi tons prophecies,
from the edition of l44s." In this, for
the first time, there were point and ith
and application. All modern discoveries
were plainly describ ID, and one prophecy
which began:
Carriages without horses shall go,
and set forth the railroads, telegraphs,
steamers. balloons, and other modern in
ventions and discoveries, wound u9 with
The world to an end shall come
In eight en- hundred and eighty>one.
This, of course, quite stsrtie ed the public

that the earthquakes and the comet of the
present are the forsrunners of wnat the old

dicted. If all other important events of the

HOnOred and Rlest.

When board of eminent physicians and
chemists announced the discovery that by
combining some well known valuable rene
dies, the most wonderful medicine was pro-
duced, which would cure such wide range
of diseases that most all other remedies
could be dispensed WITH many were skep-
tical; but proof of its merits by actual
trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the
discoveries of that great medicine, Hop
Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as
benefactors.

The Corpse Found at Bulls Gap.

In our issue of yesterday We gave an ac-
count of the finding of the mangled corpse
of an unknown woman Friday moruipg. on
the railroad track at Bulls Gap.
From parties who came down on last
nights freight, we learn that the corpse vas
identified as that of q woman residing III
that neighborhood who was known to
to be of unsound mind, but none of our in
formants could give us the name. The
matter was still envelopcd in mystery at
latest accounts, and the people were unable
to determine just how the unfortunate
woman came to her death, but the general
opinion seems to have been that she was
murdered and thrown on the track.

The editors of the Tribune have
been making a great deal of noise
over the loss of the papers in the
chancery court in the Anderson
Gossett contested election case.
The papers appear to have been lost,
and that is all we know about it.
The Tribune says they were stolen.
If hey were, whoever stole them
should be punished to the fullest
extent of tue law. If the Tribune
has any evidence on the subject it
would be doing the public service
to produce it, and when the crime
is fastened on any individual or in.
dividuals, no matter what party they
may belong to, every good citizen will
demand their punishment. If there
is any clue to their loss, the most
searching investigation should be
instituted at once, and let the clue
be fol owed up. Ii there is no clue,
it will be competent to inquire who
had papers in his posse> sion last
and what the party having them did
with them.
The Tribune has indulged in insinu-
ations and innuendoes but has made
no direct charges. The presump~
ton is that the editors of that paper
do not care half so much about the
lost papers as they do to manufac-
ture capital for the next election.
Tney would take immense pleas
ure in discovering something impli,
eating Sheriff Go .sett With the loss
of the papers, but so far as we
have heard, there is not scintilla
of evidence showing that the papers
were last seen in his possession, OF
in the possession of his counsel. On
the contrary, they were last heard OF
in the hands of one of the
counsel for the opposite side.
The gentleman who had them
is far above resorting to trick in
order to gain law suit. being an
upright, honorable gentleman, but
there is Just as much evidence that
MIR. AndersoD's friends lost the
papers, as the easiest way out of a
Troublesome law suit, as there is
that Gossett or his friends stole
them. There is no evidence oi
either, SO far as We know.

St. Louis to Vinita. Thi, division

under the mortgage and new COM
pary formed, which was called the

operating that portion Of the line.
The central division extends from

division extends from Albuquerque
