report of the house committee on cleo
lions in the Cannon case from Utah, is
finished, and will be submitted to the

Ranney and Pettibone, republicans.
A friend of ex-senator Platt says
that Platt told him yesterday in New
York that Conkling would not accept
the supreme judgeship; that Conkling
had said to Plat that he could not
afford to hold that position as he has a
law practice of $4,000 a year, which
he would haveto relinquish If he went
on the bench. Besides, Conkling adj
ded, according to this authority, that
he preferred to remain in active poll
tics.

New York, March 3.-when Hughes
heard Of Rowell's withdrawal he said,
~ have carried my point and have
broken him up" and so he had indeed
accomplished his end and had forced
the retirement Of the little Englishman
who for the first time had to suffer the
humiliation of being beaten, and by a
man who had sacrificed his chance of
winning for the purpose of pushing the
champion SC. hard in the first part of
the race that he could not possibly go
through until the end. Nature could
not stand no more. Hughes had pushed
Rowell the first day, and compelled him
to cover $50 miles in q little over %
hours, and had kept the strain up on
succeeding days until Rowell could not
possibly go much further.

A. T. Stewards Body.

Talking to New York detective of
ficer to-dry, asked him what had be-
come of the body of A. T. Stewart
1.-THE best information possess" said
he, sis that it has not only never
been recovered by the family and ex-
cutors, but that it is not now in the
possession of the original thieves
"Well, who got it from them?' said
I.
cit is the understanding at police
headquarters, said he, "that second
band of thieves, thinking the body was
a good thing, stole it from the first
Probably some of the persons privy to
the robbery took the body away from
those who had been at the pains to dig
it up and spirit it off,
"Well, how was Mrs. Stewart ap-
peased?'
"Why," said the officer, 81 suppose
tnat she links that the bones have
been recovered. She either thinks that
they have been recovered or does not
inquire concerning them. The fact is, :"

You know that Immediately after the
robbery in st. Marks churchyard the
tomb of the Vanderbilts', at Staten Is

other tombs of conspicuous persons.
They all got tired of paying special
watchmen, because it looked as if they
might have to watch the tomb for q
period of years, and every man rich
that died would reqnire live ones to
look after his bones--a thing not very
palatabe to heirs. Consequently notice
was sent to Judge Hilton that he ought

of Stewards bones whether Mrs. Sew

other gentlemen pacifed Mrs. Stewart
in some way. You know the coffin of

A gentleman with a mass of white
hair, flowing side whiskers, resolute
mouth, and eyes in which there was
an expression of grim determination,
sat bolt upright in his chair, yester-
day, in the sub-treasury building,
signing his name on the new gold GER
tifcates with the regularity and pre-.
cision of an automaton. 1t was Assis-
tant Treasurer Thomas G. Acton in the
act of trying to keep ahead of the de-
mand.
"What--is--it?" he asked with a
rhythmical accentation in keeping
with the mechanical swing of the hand
holding the pen.
"The Sun sent me down to see you
sign the new certificates"
'Sit down."

DUELLING Win HOUSEWIVES.
Novel Combat Between Two PIucky
Enemies in Georgia

From the jackson (Ga.) Herald
A novel duel took place in Harmony
Grove, jackson, county, a few days
since, between Mr.. Hill and w. /. Goss.
Hill was the challenger, and Goss said
he didn't care to fight him with deadly
weapons, but if Hill would not be salts
fed any other way he would fight him
with buggy whips. The distance and
other rules to govern the fight were
made, new buggy whips were procured
and the parties toed the mark, about
five feet apart. and operations COM
menced. The attle-ground was in
front of Freeman's livery stable, IN the
heart of the town, and it was not long
until the most of the citizens Of the
place were looking on at safe dis
lance. No one had interferred and the
complaints were making steady and
regular ticks upon each other without
fiinching, and the strokes of the whips
could be heard several blocks away, as
they went whizzing through the air
and upon the backs of the two men.
Occasionally one or the other would
back little from the line, but he
would soon come up again to the
scratch. Whenever they got tired one
would cali out to hold up for while
and they would take breathing spell,
and when rested they would go at It
again. The fight continued for over
three hours, with short intervals for
rest. After the second round Hill,
who had no covering on his back ex-
cept shirt, insisted that Goss should
pull off his coat, which ne did, and
they took both hands to their whips
and went to work. By this time the
news of the fight had spread all over
the town; some of the merchants closed
their stores and business was generally
suspended to see what would be the
result of the encounter. After they had
worn out seven dollars worth of buggy
whips and were completely tired down,
they agreed to quit, and Hill told Goss
that he was satisfied.
From parties who saw Hills back,
we learn that there was not place on
it that you could have placed a silver
quarter without touching the wells that
the whip had made, and he was
marked all ove- in the same way. We
learn that Goss was not hurt quite so
bad, and was able to be out the next
day, but Hill had to lay up, and it was
rumored over this way that he was

THE annual report of Commissioner
Mcfarland, of the general land office,
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1882,
has been completed. 1t shows that
disposals of public lands under all
acts of congress embraced Is, 99S, 1887
acres, and of Indian lands, 310,3S6. Is
acres, making the total disposals H.
500. 126 so acres-an increase over dis
posals of the preceding year of 5, 49,
729 So acres. The amount of money
received from all sources in connection
with disposals Of the public lands was
s7,75S POI. OF, and from sales of Indian
lands 1854 5S7. %, total of $780,
SIC. "a. being an increase over the pre-
yious year of s., 9S4,0440S. The total
area of public lands surveyed in the
several states and territories from the
beginning of surveying operations by
the government up to June 81, lSS2,

tory of Alaska, is 9SS, 062. 759 acres.
Judge Mcfarland says: "a repeal
of the pre-emption law would simpl-
fy the public business and be IN the
interest of public economy and good
administration. Such repeal would,
moreover, remove one of the eau
of frauds in land entries, which have
pproached great magnitude"

Counting in the Iast Century.

''The History of Women" an Eng
fish work, published in 1899, details
various methods of courtship then
practiced in some of the European
colonies of America. 1t has this Curl
Gus statement, which beaux and bellies
will find it difficult to believe: "When
two Pennsylvania lovers meet with any
remarkable opposition from their
friends they go off together on horse
back; the lady riding before, and the
gentleman behind her. In this situa-
ton they present themselves before a
magistrate, to whom she declares that
she has run away with her lover and
brought him there to be married. So
solemn an avowal the magistrate is not
at liberty to reject and they are mar
ried accordingly"
