So FAR as Philips, late Justice Of the
Peace. is concerned, the sudden and un-
expected ending OF his case Is satisfactory,
for he confesses judgment. Rather than
face the charges against him he resigns
his place. What bis motive was can only
be imagined. The TACT is he refused to
stand trial. II he had been found guilty
the finding Of the Board could have gone
no farther than his self.imposed sentence.
So 1t must have been the testimony
that he dreaded; and this he would
have no reason to fear unless 1t
would have been hurtful. In this view
the Board should not have accepted
Philips resignation. Ifaman, holding so
responsible a position, has been guilty OF
the nauseating oHenses charged against
Philips, he should have been turned out Of
his office in disgrace, the brand OF the
Boards judgment upon him. Certainly
he should not have been allowed to walk
Of, leaving the Commissioners wondering
what had struck them. Philips has gained
a victory over the Commissioners, but his
trophies are not such as men who care for q
good name would desire to exhibit in pub.
lie places.

WApoKESErA, February 27.-In the mat
ter OF the alleged $4,000 illegal fees charged
by Augaize county officials during the
period OF five years past, as shown by the
report Of an examiner appointed by the
Auditor OF State, there has been new and
rather sensational movement to chronicle.
All the accused officers except ex.Treasurer
Heinrich, who promptly refunded his
overcharges, have joined in a petition to
the Commissioners asking that, in view Of
vague and indefinite street rumors
concerning. the drawing Of certain
fees by them in violation Of
law, the board proceed to make an imme.
diate investigation into their official doinrs,
and the fees, salaries, and compensation
received by them during the past five
years. The petition totally ignores the re.
port filed by Inspector Cunningham with
the State and County Auditor and is evi.

lars in excess OF what is allowed them by
law. 1t is apparent that unless the State
authorities take steps 10 recover these over
charges they will never be collected.

WICKED LEADVILLE.
Brother Wood Relating His Experiences
to the baptist Pastors.

NKw York, February 27.-The regular
weekly meeting Of the Baptist pastors was
held to-day at No. Murray street, Rev. E.
a. Woods, moderator, in the chair. The
Rev. Harvey Wood, who was Baptist
minister at Leadville, COL, gave the breth-
rem story OF his experience in the place.
They were not altogether Of pleasant char
acter. Next 10 the church in which he was
appointed to preach, he said. there was a
blacksmith shop, in which work was car
ried on every Sunday, but as he found that
pounding and expounding did not go very
we'll together, he asked the blacksmith TO
stop work while he preached, but was told
by him to go TO place much warmer than
Florida. Vice in Leadville, he said, was
open handed, no attempt being made at
concealinent, Gambling houses and houses
OF prostitution are licensed and rum is
rampant. There are six Protestant
churches in the place, doing all they can
to stem the tide Of intemperance and vice,
and yet last year $4,000 was paid for rum
licenses alone and $4,000 for licenses for
houses OF prostitution. In conclusion,
Brother Wood said: "Leadville is.one OF
the wickedest places it has ever been my
lot to Witness.h

Conference Committee.
From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 27.-The
Tariff Bill is finally tucked away in con-
ference committee OF ten, OF which eight
are protectionists and two free traders.
Kelley, Mckinley, Haskell, Morrill,, Al
drich and Sherman are tariff men;
Bayard, and Randall are moderate men
OF protection proclivities, while Beck
and Carlisle are free traders pure and
simple. The outcome is still problemah-
cal with the chances in favor Of bill be-
ing matured. There is q clear working
majority for perfecting q bill, but the
trouble is to make bill that the House
will pass when reported. twill take from
two to three days to make up
a report which will bring 1t
down to Friday or Saturday. II
the Democrats and Free Trade Republicans
in the House decide to pass the bill as it
came from the Senate, they have only to
non concur in the conference report and
then rescind the non.concurrence and the
bill would be passed. To avoid this alter
native will require considerable strategy at
the last moment, as there is clear major
ity in the House in favor Of rates on iron,
steel and wooden goods that mean the
wrecking Of these industries Ig

tric Light.
PITTSBURGH, February CIV. A. Beck.
with has patented an invention which, 1t Is
claimed, will materially reduce the cost Of
electric light to the consumer. At present
there is an average waste Of two cents per
night OF the carbon used in each burner.
Between three and four inches Of the car.
bon is thrown away daily. By means Of
the new invention there will be no waste
Of material. Connection is made between
the old point and the new
carbon in such way that the current is
Just as strong as II 1t were solid carbon. A
copper coat ing is also introduced which
makes the connection still more perfect.
There are about one thousand lights in this
city. The carbons now used are twelve
inches long and 7.16 in diameter. The
new carbon will be three inches shorter, and
can, consequently be bought cheaper, and
is, moreover, equivalent to the old carbon,
inasmuch as It's entire length will be avail
able. Considerable carbon Is now broken
in shipment, which can all be utilized by
the unique device perfected.
