c. W. DAvIS'S DEATH.
He Passes Away as II Going to Sleep
AntecedentS Of the Deceased.

| z. w. Davis died in Haley, at 8
o'clock this morning-passing away
without pain and so quietly that his
nurse scarcely knew he was dying, as
his eyes remained open and natural,
while his pulse gradually ceased to
beat.
Mr.. Davis left Haley week ago
and visited his mines on the head of
Deer Greek (among which is the Min
nehaha claim-regarded as valuable
property. Returning to Haley he
visited the Hot springs and took Il
bath, after which he rode horseback to
town again. He was SOON after
attacked with chill and sickness at
the stomach, accompanied with acute
pains, and retired to bed. His physi-
clan regarded his complaint as inAam-
nation of the bowels, and not very
serious. The patient last evening
felt SO we'll that he requested his nurse
to lie down and rest. He was 80
years Of age, an Odd Fellow, and a
member of the G. A. r.. Mr.. Ward
was attending upon him as an Odd
Fellow, as also was Mr.. Riley, who is
a member of the G.. A. II. and was
formerly schoolmate of the deceased.
Mr.. Davis was born in West
Almond, Allegheny county, N. ",
where he has two brothers and sister
residing at present. He entered the
army when young, was thrown from
his horse during an engagement, and
had his right shoulder dislocatcd
Coming West he secured and con-
Quoted the Terrace House at Terrace,
Utah, and in 1880 sold out, came to
Idaho, and engaged at placer mining
in Snake River where, discovering a
process for saving the fine gold, he
cleared some $1,000, sold his claims,
and came to Wood River. He owned
the claims referred to on Deer Creek,
also some mines on Lost River, had
some money out on security, and 5000
in the bank in Haley, besides some
property East. He was well known
in Utah and Southern Idaho, and
highly esteemed as perfectly honest
man and good, manly companion.
His health has been poor many months,
and he intended returning home to
New York on the first of next month,
to recupcrate during the fall and win
ter.
His remains will be buried at half
past o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

HOW HE GOT THE BEST OF HIM.
4 Mining Man Who Finally Outdid Iii,
Enemy.

\ doctor visited Haley, yesterday,
who is candidate for County Coro-
ncr, and in mentioning his experience,
he told of two mining men who had
lived in envy and malice toward one
another score of years. The trouble
began between them, in mining con-
test, and they fought every term of
court until both were bankrupt, but
each too proud to admit that he was
not living well and happy. Finally
one died, and instructed the doctor to
lay him away, and to put up loca.
ton stake at each corner and head
board with only few words which
would make his enemy grieve. They

Gettysburg Veterans.

Another meeting OF the veterans engaged at
the battle of Gettysburg, both on the Union
and Confederate sides, was held last night at
Commissioner Dudley's office. Colonel Bach
elder, the Government historian, presided.
There were present General Romeyn d. Ayres,
Representatives Shallenberger, of Pennsyl-
vania; Aiken, of South Carolina, and Forney,
of Alabama; Hon. " H. Manning, General
Ellis Spear, Mr.. James Wake, the painter of
the 'Battle OF Gettysburg" and many other
officers who participated In that memorable
fight Colonel Batchelder stated that he
wanted to get as many facts as possi.
Bile from the company, so that he could
correct his history OF the battle of
Gettysburg before 1t was published The
Colonel then explained thai his calling the
meeting was quite accidental; that In a con-
versation with Colonel Dudley the latter sug-
gested that call be issued; 1t was decided
| To have a reunion on the field on the 7th OF
June next, so that "the boys" might tell their
stories snd describe the different locations the
various regiments occupied. Tonight they
would only talk about the two days battle al
| Gettysburg and the fight which took place al
and near the Peach orchard" the "Wheat
| field" "DeviPs Den " and "Round Top" In
| that fight General Sickles' corps represented
| the Union course and two divisions OF Long
| streets corps the Confederate. Eventually
| other troops were brought into the fight
| About Sickles' movement he would have moth
| ing &c say, as 1t had been SO often discussed by
| military critics. Every man present was then
| asked TO what regiment he had belonged, and Il
was most interesting to hear their accounts
and the minuteness with which Colonel
| Bachelor described the events of the day
| All sections of the country were represented
both blue and gray. Representative shallen
| dred and fortieth Pennsylvania had ever,
| year held a reunion, and last year decided Il
| hold the next reunion at Gettysburg on Jnn'
z. On motion OF Representative Shallen
berger, II was voted that those present woult
| attend the Gettysburg reunion.

THE INDIANA CAMPAIGN,
Jewell Sent Dorsey No Money, Yet
Indiana Was Carried.


The recent publication of the story that
large sums Of money were sent Secretary Dor
sey, of the Republican National Committee,
by Hon. Marshall Jewell, the chairman, for
expenditure in Indiana during the campaign
of $780, and that Dorsey had failed TO render
an expenditure account to Ex-Governor jewell
and other matters pertaining to the campaign
of 1880, has led to the following correspond
ence. Mr.. Edmund Smith, who resides in
Chicago and who was sergeant-at-arms In the
Republican National Convention, wrote, on
March A, 1882, TO Marshal Jewell:
MR. DEAR GOVERNORS For the past few days
the newspapers of the country have been pub
fishing articles which refer to money alleged
Republican National Committee in the State of
Indiana during the campaign of 1850. 1t is
alleged that you gave into the custody of Mr..
Dorsey, secretary OF the Republican National
Committee, something over the sum OF $780,
600 to use for campaign purposes In Indiana
during the campaign, and the entire amount
was expended by Dorsey, and that you, as
chairman of the Republican National Commit
tee, have never caused Mr.. Dorsey to account
to you for the expenditure of dollar Qf he
ever expended dollar of the National Com
mittee's funds in Indiana) for campaign or
any other purposes. Having been associated
with you at headquarters In New York city
throughout the entire campaign, and having
the opportunity to see and know whatever
money you dsbursed for legitimate pur-
poses during the campaign was done on per
rect business principles, 1 simply write to ask
you If, in your opinion, you do not think the
publication of matters referred to as prema
ture, too unanimous and greatly exagger
ated. Yours very truly,

THE JEANETTE MEN.
Engineer McIviIIc's Programme for
fhe &Qarer

Secretary Hunt has received q commnnica-
tion from Engineer Melville, dated Yakut2,
Jan. 10, giving an outline OF his plan for con
ductlEg the search for Commander De Long
and Lieutenant Chipp, and Survivors OF tho
Joanncttc, who are with them. Ho says that
all supplies used at Belun or the Lena Delta
must bo carried 1000 versts on pack horses
or on sleds drawn by deer, and travel from
Yakutz TO Bclun is only practicable In winter
time. For this reason the search party may
be compelled to remain at Bclun until No
vembcr, 1889, before they can return TO Yak
utz. depot for all supplies Will be cstab-
llshed at Beun. Two Crosses, near Mount
1ai, Will be the centre of operations. The
party viii be divided into three squads, one
work back TO the Two Crosses; another Will
work south half way 20 Bulcour, and tho
third will work from Bulcour north TO the
Two Crosses. Melville thinks the whole re-
glon can be search In twenty days after leav-
Ing Belun. Should the missing men not be
found, the depot viii be moved 70 Cath Con
tee, and the southern, western and north
in the direction of Upper Belun. The depot
VIII then he moved TO Proyarnia, and tho
search parties VIII operate on the north branch
OF the Lena and the coast line, returning
across the country 10 Provarnia. Then Bucor
will bo made tho centre OF operations, md so
searched. Melville thinks that all this can be
accomplished before tho snow floods set in.
He gives list OF the sled parties which he
has organized and an inventory of the sup
plies which he has provided. Reindeer mcat
and 1sh can be bought at the Iona in the

The gas monopoly is making desperate

first by THE CRITIC and then repeated by
Mr.. Murch on the floor of the House. The
statements of Mr.. Murch haze been care
fully examined and are as he says, made
npon the theory advanced by THs CRITIC,
the only difference being that Mr.. Murch
has been more elaborate than THE Critic.
The facts stated are substantially the same,
and Congress cannot afford to ignore or
pass them by.
1t is shown that this gas monopoly has,
in a few years, quadrupled its capital,
besides paying enormous dividends to its
stockholders, and is robbing the people OF
