Gold In Michigan.

The following auriferous story is
from the Adrian Times of Saturday
Yesterday, while laborers were engage
ed in digging a village drain for the
purpose of putting in large tile, on the
west side, at Blissfield, on the Hat in
the rear of Fred. Cannon's shop, and
throwing out the hard clay, at the
depth of about three feet, their curl
osity, with that of the spectators, was
excited by small particles in the soil
which glistened like gold. Finally
some of the particles were washed out
and put to test by local chemists.
who pronounced them to be the gen.
uine article. The news soon spread,
and many people visited the spot.
while the discovery of genuine gold
mine in the midst of town, became 1.-THE
chief subject of conversation. Wheth-
er the soil will yield sufficient of the
precious metal to make it pay cannot
as vet, of course, be told, but old Cali
fornians say they have washed for
months at profit soil that showed
nothing to the naked eye.
Later--A line from a reliable CORE
spondent in Blisstield, dated this p. M,
says there is great excitement there
over the gold find. Moses Eddy. an
old miner, pron0unces it fine show of
gold. Andrew Fisher, a jeweler, has
tested-it and finds piece of the pre-
cious metal the size of pin head, in
a chunk of clay the size of an egg.

Hello, Pontiac and Orchard Lake F!

Telephone communication is estab-
lished between Detroit and Pontiac,
and beyond 10 Orchard Lake military
academy. From the latter point Col.
j. Sumner Rogers sent greeting TO De-
troit. and showed how isoste1 he had
been from the rest of the world by ask
ing If ArabI Pasha was still holding
Tel-el-Kebir, and whether Michigan
got the Creedmoor rifle shooting prizes
or only got left. Some valuable i'll
formation of recent date was poured
into his waiting, eager and upturned
ear, and in closing his few remarks in
return he said Detroit students at the
academy could now guard against
inconsistencies by biding their mothers
good night by telephone. The line is
located along the highway from De-
troit to Pontiac. and is very free from
"inductive" currents which usually
interfere greatly with the workings OF
such long lines.

FERNANDO G. BEAMAN.

Detroit Post Tribune, Sept. Is
Judge Beaman, who died at Adrian
yesterday, was one of the very few
Americans who ever refused the APP
pointment of United States Senator.
This he did in 1879 when Gov. Cros-
well named him TO fll the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Chan
der. This refusal to take office shows
the quality of the man who would de-
cline such position upon the conscien-
tious ground that he did not believe the
state of his health would permit him to
perform its duties properly.
Joshua Beaman, the father of Fer
nando, was one Of the soldiers who
aided in suppressing Shay's rebellion in
1887. He settled on farm in Chester,
Windsor county, Vermont, from which
place he removed to Franklin county,
New YORK, in 1919, when Fernando
was only 5years old. The family being
large and the means small, young Bea-
man began teaching school at the age
of 16, and was employed in that way for
seven winters and three summers,
spending the intervening months in the
Malone academy, where he had for his
classmate ex-Vice President Wheeler.
After completing the academical course
he went to Rochester in 1886, and
studied law in Abe Office of Haight and
Elwood, and afterwards with William
S. Bishop, who was prominent men,
Der of the bar in that city.

gan, and in the next year was admitted
to practice in Lenawee county, making
| his first residence in Manchester. now
! in Washtenaw county. He soon re-
moved TO Tecumseh and formed part
nership with Condsider A. Stacy, then
one of the leading lawyers of southern
Michigan. In 1843 Mr.. Beaman was
appointed prosecuting attorney of Len
awee county by Gov. Barry, and remov-
ed to Adrian, where he continued to re.
side till the time of his death. Being
twice re-appointed to the same position
he held it for period of six years, dur
ing which he became associated with
A. r. Tiffany, the author of the Jus
tees Guide" Later he became a men,
/ pCi VI thC ldilAOuo law III III VI IDtdlllttu,
Beecher & Cooley, the junior member
of which is now one of the justices of
our supreme court.
In 1856 Mr.. Beaman was elected
Judge of probate for Lenawee county.
In the same year he was chosen mayor
OF Adrian, and also one of the presi.
Dental electors, by the Republican par
ty, of which he was one of the founders
in the famous meeting at Jackson in
1854.
After holding the office of probate
Judge for one term he was in 1860 elect
ed to congress from the second Michi-
gan district, then composed of the couD-
ties of Lenawee, Monroe, Hillsdale,
Branch and st. Joseph.
In 1862 he was reelected i'm the first
district, into which he had been thrown
by redistricting of the state, and he
was reelected successfully in 1864,
1866 and 1868, making a continuous
service of 10 years. In 1871, soon af-
ter he had retired to private life, he
was again appointed probate judge to
ill a vacancy caused by the death OF
his friend and former partner, Judge
Beecher, and in 1872 and 1876 he was
elected to the same position, which he
filled at the tune the senatorship was
offered to him on the 18th of Novem
Der, 1879.

Vanderbilt and the Canada South
ern,

From the Evening News.
The rumored sale of the Canada
Southern railway to the Delaware,
Lackawanna Il Western and the Wa
bash lines created considerable com
ment among local railroad men. The
attaches of the Vanderbilt wouldn't
spend his money in building the Essex
Centre cutoff il he intended relinquish-
ing his management of the line. They
stOutly assert that as long as he con-
trolls Michigan Central he will not let
go of Canada Southern. as the latter is
necessary rs an eastern outlet for The
former. Again, they state that the
consolidation of the Great Western
and Grand Trunk makes the Canada
Southern of increased value to Wander
bilt, and the time has just arrived for
him to develope the business Of the
line. They also pooh-pooh the idea
that their king has purchased the
Nickle Plate, which they claim was
built rs a disorganizer and for the
purpose of selling to VIM. II. a. an
exorbitant figure. A Canada South
ern official credits the engineer of the
Nickle Plate with saying, 81 wouldn't
ride over one of the Nckle Plates
bridges on consolidated locomotive
for the whole road"
why, then, did you build such
bridges 2" inquired "A listener.
"My friend, [ would build bridges
three times as weak if instructed SO to
do"
The same official who gives currency
to this alleged conversation says that
the Nickle Plate is bound to wreck two
or three regimes before it gets down
to hard pan, and receiver is certain
within five years. He states that
should Vanderbilt buy the New York,
Chicago Il st. Louis road, another par
allel line would be build Dy the specu-
lating Charley Foster syndicate, and
Vanderbilt would have to keep OH buy
ing. This official is certain that the
present officials of the Nickle Plate
will resign when the road goes into ac-
tive operation, as the builders and
original stockholders have quite gen.
orally sold out. and President Cum
minis has conlidentially stated that his
administration will cease with the
completion of the line.

The president then called for express
sions of opinion on the best methods of
rearing queens. The topic was discuss

when rearing queens for his own use
he stimulated his best stocks to breed

other drOnes out.
A recess was taken until 2 p. M,
when Prof. Cook was called To the
chair, and the meeting opened with a
renewal of the discussion on the best
methods of exhibiting bees, honey, and
apiarian supplies at the fair.
Prof. Cook stated that he had this
season queen fertilized in the hive.
He also stated that he had used founda-

ious devise in the shape of tongs for
lifting the brood frames from the

aiming them; also machine for fas-
tening the foundation into the section
