Demise ofau Extinable Lady.

On Monday night Mr.. T. j. Buxton, pres
ident of the City bank of Minneapolis, re-
turned from st. Louis where he had left
his invalid wife, as he had supposed, in an
improved physical condition. Yesterday
however, he received the painful intelli-
gence of her death. Mrs. Buxton was taken
to st. Louis for medical treatment early
in the winter. Most of the time her hus-
band was at her side, and he only left her
with the supposition and the assurance of
her physician that she was improved. Mr..
Buxton and Major Henderson, Mrs. Bux-
toms cousin, left on the noon train yester-
day for st. Louis. They will bring the re-
mains to Minneapolis for interment. The
deceased was about forty eight years of
age, kind-hearted and estimable lady,
highly esteemed by large social ciacle,
and her demise will be mourned at many a
hearthStone.

Denver shows loss of per cent This
discouraged the bulls, and made a very
feverish closing. Easy money did not help
the situation any. Although an advance
was on the books for to-day according to
the big bull combination, prices declined.
The bulls still say that they will
put prices sky high, but they
must DO so by main force,
it is plain, and in spite of some opposition
for such markets as we had to-day, and on
Saturday, breed bears thick and fast. Two
runors exerted influence. One was that
Mr.. Vanderbilt was sci ling stocks. The
other was that snow blockades in the
Northwest were making serious inroads
upon the net earnings of granger roads
Evidence in support of Vanderbilt selling
is found by some operators in the paying
of of certain loans. Conservative brok-
ers make considerable of the point that if
the bull position was well taken
Lake Shore and New York Central would
be among the first stocks to advance. The
fact that they were comparatively weak
is an argument against the sincerity Of
the bulls. The blockade in the Northwest
is an indefinite quantity. There is as much
snow on the ground as there was in 1880
but it has not thus far drifted as it did
then. In many places the running of
trains has been interfered with, and in some
cases traffic has been suspended, but
houses having very full advices do not con-
slider the situation serious or as warrant
ing much decline. The bigger bull lead
ers are still confident in their talk.

the circuit court to-day against about a

Coalition Nominees in Rockingham.

-
The Coalition Convention to nomi=
nate county officers met in Harrison
burg last Saturday week, and from the
reports in the Harrisonburg papers they
must have had very stormy time of it,
The Republican element wanted to
nominate Rockingham Paul, brother OF
Judge John Paul for Commemorative
Attorney, whilst the Readjuster Demo-
Gratis came instructed to vote for Charles
D. Harrison. After much pow-wowing
by delegates and some who were not
delegates, and several threats on the
part of the Harrison faction to bolt, the
Paulites saw that they would be defeat
ed and Mr.. Rockingham Paul with
drew from the contest for the sake OF
harmony and the 'tgood of the party -
Mr.. Harrison was nominated. The
Paul men, in large numbers, left the
room, and the Convention proceeded to
nominate Mr.. J. H. Ship for Sheriff,
and then, with the inane hope OF
strengthening their hopeless ticket,
Sterling, the present incumbent, for
County Treasurer. This is little too
thin, and it will in no wise Gool the true
Democrats of old Rockingham, who
will vote for good men to fill the Off
ces regardless of the doings of the Goa
litionists.
The Rockingham Register summa.
rizes as follows:
"Taking it all in all, we shall not 1--WE
hope) soon see another similar assem-
blage in town, and we think the effect
was to greatly damage the Malone party
in our county-certainly so with those
who really believe in good government
and good officers. tasr .-. WA
The primaries also, held two weeks
before the convention, in which nomi-
nations were made for the various
district officers, gave the. same dissatis-
faction, and already we hear, the muir
murings of discomfort coming up from
all parts of the county. Good men
have been retired in many instances,
because they have not been sufficiently
subservient to the Boss and his claquers,
and men put up in their stead who have
not the confidence of the people of their
sections, and are incapable of filling
the positions for which they have been
nominated. Such actions by few per-
sons in different portions of county
will inevitably bring any party into
disrepute, and we think Mahone's ma
chine in Rockingham has about dug its
own grave. At any rate, the quarrel
is very pretty quarrel as it stands " 81
