Judge Cox, of the Supreme Court of
Minnesota, is before High Court of In
parchment. His most disgraceful exploit
was to open court in bar-room, while
drunk, and there issue an order at the re-
quest of lawyer who was his companion
in the carousal. But he was often intoxi-
Gated while regularly on the bench. On
one occasion he fell off his chair, and the
court officers carried him out.
It was well known that Charles F. Ad-
ans, of New Haven, carried a large
amount of money on his person, but when
he died in hospital there last week only
$40 was found. It was only when the I'M
dertaker was looking over his clothes an
old cartridge shell was found in his over
coat pocket containing 81 900 note, $500
and three 500 notes tightly wrapped. The
merest chance had prevented its being

THE ANGER OF THE READJUsTERs-THEY
YESTIGATE--THEY THREATEN TO TURN
MASSEY OUT AFTER THE LEGISLATURE
ADJOURNS.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1882-01-27

THE SENATE DEFEATS THE ACTION OF
THE CAUCUS.
When the election for Auditor came up
in the Senate Mr.. Massey's friends joined
with the Democrats and adjourned with
out action. Intense interest was felt on
Tuesday morning as the election came up
again that day and if Mr.. Massey's friends
stood by him and adjourned again that day
the Joint order would be broken and no
other attempt to GUST Massey could be
made until another joint order could be
made by both Houses.
Senator Riddleberger got the floor ahead
of Senator Newberry Ia Massey Readjus-
teri and put S. Brown Allen, Of Augusta,
in nomination. Mr.. Newbe-ry then
moved to adjourn and the motion was
adopted by a vote of 81 to 10. Messrs.
Hale, Lybrook, Newberry. Democratic
Keadjusters,) Williams Republican Read
juster) and Wingdeld (straight-out Repub-
lican) voting with the straight out Demo-
Gratis to adjourn. The dispatch says:
There was good deal of excitement and
some applause-one senator uttered war
whoop-when the vote was announced.
Mr.. Riddleberger, who generally keeps
sweet temper, was angered by the result,
and he did not care TO CONCEAL IT.: He
seemed to he particularly mitfed with the
Democrats for helping the "bolters.'

Mr.. Riddleberger said the resolution did
not justify such suspicion.
Mr.. Lybrook said that it struck at Mas
| sey. The speaker said ne was one of the
I Oldest Readjusters in the legislature.
Mr.. Lybrook went on to say that if the
| resolution was aimed at him he repelled
any such insinuations, and flung them
| back at the man that made them. He had
! lots of letters in his pocket from the coun-
| try asking him never to surrender the old
man Massey for Auditor. The speaker
made an earnest and sharp speech. He
said that this caucus was curious thing,
and the country people did not understand
what it meant. In response to question
the speaker denied that he was candi-
date for any office, and said 1a0iUely that
ii he proposed to be candidate he could
not be so strong and independent as he
was.
Mr.. Riddleberger being pushed by Mr..
Lybrook, explained that his resolution as
to corruption referred to an officer of the
Senate who had been trying to bride. He
declined to give his name.
Speeches were also made by Senators
Stevens and Powell sustaining the Chair,
and Hurt and Newberry against.
The decision of the Chair was reversed
by vote of q to Is.

A Theatre Burned.

New York, Oct. 30.-Abbey's park
theater took fire this afternoon and was
totally destroyed. The fire started in
the p%roscenium in the rear of the
second tier of boxes, on the right of
the stage. 1t is believed to have been
caused By a gas explosion. The flames
spread with great rapidity, caught the
drop curtain, aud drove from the build
ing the stage hands, who were setting
the stage. They had previously made a
vain effort to put out the fire with
extinguishers, but it would not work.
Henry Clarke, stage hand, was burned
in e~ndeavoring to lower the drop ur-
tain; he jumped from the rear window
into Broadway, from a height Of 20
feet, and had IA leg broken. MI. Doran
81 years old, scene painter, was badly
burned. Mrs. Lantry's costumes for
IAN Unequal Match" the play in
which tonight she was to have made
her first appearance in America, were
burned, together with the costumes OF
all the other members OF the company
and very valuable scenery; nothing was
saved. The loss is over S100, 900.
Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Labouchere
watched the FIRE from the balcony OF
the Albemarle hotel, two blocks away.

Supt. Ed. Dickinson came over from
Laramie city yesterday. 1t seems that
an error occurred in the published
general order announcing Mr.. LAWS
resignation and Mr.. Dickinson's APP
pointment, and that Mr.. Dickinson
will have his headquarters in this city
ard will live here, all of which will be
pleasant news to Cheyenne people in
general and Mr.. Dickinson's many
friends in particular.
The U. p railroad, in order to re-
ceive any benefit from the bonds voted
by Laramie county for a railroad north,
by the law passed at the last session of
the territorial legislature, must invest,
before January LIST next, $40, 900,
either in shops or road. 1t has been
generally conceded that the money
wonld be invested in the building of
shops and the matter of surveys and
orders for material, and plans and
specifications, &C., &C., have been
announced from time to time, until
reference to the proposed shops has
become a new version of Artemus
Wards famous 1.-THE gov'nment is
about to take Vigorous measures to put
down the rebellion" However, we are
assured that the work has actually
been commenced, and the few weeks
intervening between now and January
LIST next will be made sufficiently
expensive to continue the U. P.'s claim
to the railroad bonds.
1t is oftentimes amusing to stand on
the platform of the railroad depot
when the trains are all in on time and
listen TO the remarks Of the passengers
dismounting from No. 4 and vending
their way along the track and platform
for about a block and a half, to the
eating house, where the trains are sup
posed to stop for dinner. They are
anything but complimentary to the
railroad. 1t is also amusing to watch
these persons dismount and wend, etc.
to see them emerging from between |
the trains, which lie sandwitched to-
to see them crawling out be-
tween the cars and in various ways
to surmount the difficulties which
obstruct their way to dinner, 1t can
be said with warrant, there is not
another station on the line which offers
such profanity exciting opportunities

Dlsausted GentIles.

Salt Lake, Oct. 30.-Judge Hunter
this morning delivered his decision in
the mandamus cases of Douglas and
Pratt to compel the Salt Lake sheriff
and the territorial auditor to surrender
their books and offices to Douglas and
Pratt, who were appointed by the gov
ernor to the respective positions, under
Hoar's amendment to Edmunds' law.
The judge denied the writ on trivial
grounds and his decision has caused
many uncomplimentary remarks and
great disgust among the gentiles, who
think that so plain a law should have
been put in force without delay or
bubble. Hunter, they say, has always
sided with the m in the question
at issue between the mormons and
Americans. Many openly declare on
the streets that he has been bought by
the mormon church, and as he is not in
sympathy with any movement toward
the reformation of this territory, Presi-
dent Arthur would be doing the whole
country good service by speedily re-
moving him.
An indignation meeting is talked of
to publicly denounce him and call for
his removal.
At Ogden to-day, in a similar case,
Judge Emerson decided in favor of the
governors appointees and they will be
at once installed. His decision was re-
ceived with the highest praise by the
law. abiding people of the territory, and
is in marked contrast with the shufiing
of Hunter.

San Francisco, Oct. 30.-A Eureka,
Nevada, dispatch says: The accumu-
lation of the LOGAN Eureka consoli-
dated shaft burst this afternoon with a
tremendous noise, which wal heard for
several miles around. The shaft was
shattered from top to bottom-a dis
lance of seventy-ive feet. The explo-
sion tore away the eastern side works,
hurting hundreds of fragments of cast
ings a quarter OF a mile away and fall
ing like hail on the roofs of houses, and
the eastern portion of the company's
new and large works was totally de-
molished and the immense iron roof
crushed in. Intense excitement pre-
vailed until 1t was ascertalned that no
lives were last.
Fortunately no was injured ex-
cept Superintendent Read, whose arms
were painfully shattered by fragments
Of the timber,
The damage will amount to about

what wiII Come OF 1t.

A high derrick standard, gdyed by
four or more ropes at very long range,
and located near the skeleton of the old
abandoned Union Pacific shops, at
tracted considerable attention yester-
day. So did the workman who did the
tight rope act in an attempt to reach
the top of the standard. Inquiry de-
veloped a young man who said that
this was one of the preliminary steps
in the erection of the new machine
shops, which are to catch the county
railroad bonds. This young man was
evidently a stranger. However, the
growth of that derrick will be watched
with interest.

The extension of the Burlington and
Quincy from Denver to Salt Lake City
and Ogden will enable Mr.. Vanderbilt
to obtain for that road and the Chicago
and Northwestern an independent line
that will benefit both of the companies.
Whether the Chicago and Rock Island
will join with the other two is not yet
decided, but the first named are amply
able to carry out the extension Jointly
by a simple guarantee of the bonds.
The friends of Mr.. Vanderbilt say that
he has looked the ground wei thor
oughly, and is satisfied that the new
line can be made to pay handsomely on
the average rate of three and a half
cents a mile for passengers and 5000
per car for freight, which is about one
third of what the Union Pacific now
charges 1t is estimated that the ex-
tension can be built from Denver to
Ogden at $4,000 per mile, while the
capitalization of the Union Pacific is

times as much.-Wall Street Daily
