The proportion meeting with sud.
den death is about 100 women to 7Se
men. In the United States in 1880,
1,0S0 men committed suicide to 2Ss
women. Intemperance, apoplexy, gout
hydrocephalus, affections of the heart
liver, scrofula and paralysis are far more
fatal to males than females. Much
fewer women than men are murdered,
and women do not die of broken hearts
because they are defeated for politica!
office. Thus have women advantages
which will permit of their tight laeine
and wearing thin shoes.

Seventy Democrats VIII Vote Against 1t
When 1t Reaches the House.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Morrison
bill amended, which was to have been
reported to-day, having received another
set back, is now promised mot before next
week. :" There is no doubt about the re
port of some sort of bill, but it will
hardly be recognizable as product of the
peculiar craftsmanship of the gentleman
from Illinois. While the committee are
regging away at the bill the number of
the Democratic free traders in the House
appears to be growing beautifully less,
and the strength of the Randall wing is
correspondingly on the increase. The
protection strength in the Democratic
ranks in the House is about forty, but in
Guiding the recruits gathered from among
those who favor no action until after the
election, the number of opponents Of the
Morrison programme is now figured at
seventy. According to this outlook, a
little more delay will leave nothing but q
remnant of the grand army of spoismen
who downed Randall and set up Carlisle
several months ago. X.

PECULIAR CLAIM or A DESERTED
WIFE.

The Surrogate of Port Jervis, New
York, has under consideration a peculiar
claim on the estate of the late Samuel L.
Bevans, who died last June, whose will
has been filed for probate The facts are
as follows: Samuel L. Bevans, promi-
nent resident of this village, died last
June He left S15, 900 worth of property
and an insurance policy on his life for
S., 600. The latter was in favor of his
wife The property he willed to his
nephew, William Bevens The will was
contested by relatives At the hearing
before the Surrogate in Goshen a week
ago new party to the contest appeared
in the person of a woman claiming
to be the legal wife of the dead man.
Bevans married Sussex county girl in
1864 The couple did not live happily,
and Bevans left his wife and went to In
diana. On his return he said he had OBJ
tanned a divorce The fact was never
disputed. He subsequently married Miss
Lavinia Walker, of Port Jervis. The
first wife also married again, and is now
living with her second husband in Sussex
county. She has several children. She
asserts that the divorce obtained by Be
vans from her was not valid. and sets up
the claim that she is his legal widow and
entitled to such portion Of his estate as
the law guarantees TO her as widow, re,
gardless of the will. If her claim is sus-
tanned, the decision will make her chill
dren Legitimate. The attorneys in the
case say it is impossible to tell when they
will get the matter slaughtered out. The
contestants arc making a big fight and
will not give up until the money is all
frittered away The Bevans family seems
to be a family of litigation. When the
father of the heir.at-law in the present
case died his brothers contested his will,
and in the end defrauded the rightful
heir, his son, of his share in the
will. S. L. Bevans was one of the broth
ers, and his giving his property to his
nephew is regared by those who know
how things stand as only restoration of
what really belongs to him as share of
bis own fathers property. The widow
of S. L. Bevans is not likely to live
more than'a few weeks and the event of
her death her share will also go to the
nephew, as there are no children. This
nephew is at present q clerk in large
dry goods house in the village. Since
his father died he and his mother have
been in rather poor circumstances.

THEIDAHO GOLD RUSH.

In the early spring there promises to
be a rush to the newly discovered CRur
d'Alcnc gold mines, in Northern Idaho,
south Of the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad equaling the stampede some
wears ago TO the Black Hills. Eagle City
is The center of the new mining region.
Accounts are conflicting as to the gold
prospects, though generally favorable,
but there is an agreement that living
expenses this winter are enormous
and the hardships very great. 1t
is maintained that the Cmur d'Alene
mines is the best placer field in the Union.
The pans take out from ten to hundred
dollars day to the man, and work has
been going on all winter. In the spring
twenty five thousand people from other
Territories, experienced in mining and
roughing it, will be at the mines and a
yield Of thousand ounces day is pre-
dicted after June 1. What seems to be a
reliable letter from the mining region
gives this information:
People are rushing in by thousands,
all afoot, hauling their blankets, rations,
and tools on hand sleds. Wages for labor
Of any kind is So day. Meals-that is
TO saw, meals of bacon and beans-are a
dollar apiece, and wait for your turn an
hour. Eggs are 50 so dozen. Coal oil
is S. a gallon One large house rents for
$500 month for drinking and gambling
saloon Stud poker reigns supreme. The
writer Of the letter says that money IS
plenty in the camp. There is one woman
On her way to the mines. She Is dressed
in mans clothing, and was seen by the
letter writer on his last trip. She had iii
teen men to haul her tent and baggage.
A pony express has been started, and
The rate for the smallest package is a
quarter of dollar Letters cost twenty
five cents each when delivered. The rate
for freight from Trout Greek, about
thirty-two miles, is twenty TO thirty cents

is 4 hard one. The snow is very deep,
and there is one high range. to cross.
People seem to he seized with madness,
He passes hundreds of sleds every day,
loaded with 200 pounds each. The trall
is strewn with sleds upset and abandoned.
Trouble is expected in the spring, when
the new corners reach the mines, and
bloodshed is predicted, inasmuch as
twenty acre claims have been taken up,

TUNNEL UNDER CAPITOL PARK.

Proposition to Connect tho Railroads of
Washington.
WASHINGTON, March 6.-Thc Balti-
more and Ohio railroad engineers have
located line of tunnel from their present
terminus i'll this city to point of inter
section Of the Pennsylvania system in the
southwestern quarter OF this city. The
tunnel will pass under the Capitol park.
The object of the Baltimore and Ohio
company is to secure southern connec-
ton over the Pennsylvania roads, but
what guarantee that company has that
arrangements can be made has not been
developed. 1t is not improbable that
this is part of the. union depot project.
A bill has been introduced into Congress
to authorize the construction of the Bal
timore and Ohio tunnel, and the proper
authorities have directed competent en-
gineers to examine the project, so as to
keep the line sufficiently distant, so as
not to endanger the foundations of the
present Capitol or any possible extern
