1t is to be hoped that the excitement
in regard to the new gold discoveries in
northern Idaho may not be carried to
such an extent that the reaction which
must certainly follow excess in any Iii
rection may deal blow which will be
not only an injury to that locality and
perhaps debar its development for years,
but will also in its result largely inter-
fere with other and perhaps more prom
Using localities. From the best infor-
is good ground for the interest already
excited, and 1t Is also apparent that
large number Of people, perhaps already
too large, will endeavor to aveil them
selves of the advantages there offered.
While we would say nothing to dispar-
age this or any other locality, we must
say that it would certainly be wise and
doubtless save much loss and disap-
pointment, II careful investigation WINS
made, not only of the advantages there
offered, but also in regard to the proba-
bility of being able to secure in the
midst of such multitude, any more fa
vorable results than can be obtained in
hundreds of other localities We also
venture to state that thousands of min
ers will leave claims at home from which
they would receive more profit, if de-
veloped with the capital required to
reach the new camp.
II there was but one locality in this
country where precious minerals were
found, there would be some justiflea-
tions for wild stampede in its direc-
tion to secure the benefits offered, but
while it has been positively determined
that the expanse of our mineral terrific
~ is vast ana unreasonable, the wise
men will carefully count the cost and
probabilities before insanely joining the
rush to the Occur d'Alene or any other
new locality Mining Review.

1t Is reasonably hoped that tho active
season In mining matters will begin as
early this year az last. Notwithstanding
the early thaws Of 1883, several storms
came in April putting the roads in q
miserable condition and rendering haul
Ing difficult until May. The deep snow
now on the ground is sinking rapidly
under continued warm sun, and rely
Ing upon the theory that the snow fall
Is just SO great, whether it comes at once
or Mt intervals. We can hope that the
snow season liz over for this year. The
time required to dry up the roads can-
not exceed four or Ave weeks.

Misrepresentation.

The Wood River Times represents
that the Republican Territorial Central
Committee indnlged in personalities at
their late meeting held in this city.
The statement is false; no personalities
were INDUCED in between John Gray,
Pride or Krebs. Here Is the statement:
Eat the committee meeting, John
Gray. OF Boise, proposed nm apportion-
ment that would have given Alturas
county but four delegates, and the other
counties adjoining Ada majority OF the
convention. He advocated his views
warmly. while Messrs. Pride and Krehs.
Of the Land Office, advocated different
Aiews with equal warmth. From one
word to smother the gentlemen got to
personalities, when John Gray said
something about character
Then follows a report OF language pnr-
ported to have been used by Pride,
which, to pnt IL mildly, Is most infer
nal lie. The Times informant should
be exposed.
The Times then gets off the following
obtuse remarks:
1.-The irrepressible conflict between
the Johnny Come Latelys and the Moss
backs has evidently commenced. That
it will be continued there is no doubt;
and that the Johnny Come Latelys will
come out ahend, there is likewise no
manner OF doubt; for there is thousands
OF them to dozens of the others. The
latter will be wise II they recognize the
rights OF the former, without compell-
ing them to direct issue, for, IL half
what is noised about is true, the Moss
back have such very odorous record
that they must dread to have it stirred
up"
There is no conflict between the Old
Settlers, the Pioneers OF Idaho, and the
late corners in the Republican party, but
they are working tremendously together
for the overthrow OF Mormonism, and
pseudo democracy, or that kind OF de-
mocracy which, while claiming to give
the people equal rights, would force
them TO submit to the tyrrany OF Nor
mon priesthood. Boise Republican.

RICHMOND AND DANvILLE.
A Bill for the Practical Consolidation
of tkis RaisrOad With the vfr-
gfnia Midland.

The following bill. introduced in the
Senate yesterday by Mr.. Edmunds 10y re-
ouestl, was referred to the Committee on
Roads:
Be ii enacted by the General assembly,
That il shall be lawful for the Richmond
and Danyile Railroad Company and the
Virginia Midland Railway Company to
contract with each other in such manner
and on such terms as they shall deem best
TO effect the united management, control,
ownership, or operation OF their lines OF
roads and properties, and 10 that end full
power and authority Is hereby granted to
each OF said companies to make and carry
out such agreements and arrangements
therefor as the stockholders OF said COM
panies respectively shall approve and au-
thoriZe.
AT a meeting OF the Board OF Directors
OF the Chamber Of Commerce, held yester-
day evening, it was ordered that special
committee OF five be appointed TO consider
this bill with reference to its bearing upon
the future of the city.
In view OF the fact that Baltimore seems
about to secure a dominant influence in the
Midland road. expression was given to the
fear that, that done, the Midland will ac-
quire the control OF the Danvllle railroad,
and thus Richmond be put entirely ut the
mercy OF Baltimore, so far as the section OF
country reached by the Danville. road is
concerned.
The committee will be appointed to-day
or Tomorrow, and will consist OF leading
citizens, who will wait upon our members
OF the General Assembly and present their
views, and who will take such other steps
as may seem necessary.

sYrSG TO KILL HErsErF BECAUSE JILrED By
A LOVER.

TRYING TO KILL HEEsEfF bEcAosE TILTED BIZ
LOVER.
A Baltimore special OF the 18th instant
SAYS: Mrs. Ella Behring, widow. a pretty
brunette. respectabIy connected, and living
of 437 west baltimore street, went to the
place Of business OF George Gamble day
or two ago and demanded that he marry
her at once. Gamble, who had been pay
ing her some attention, tried to evade the
proposition. and finally refused point blank
10 keep the promise which the young widow
claims he made, She got angry, and they
had q scene. witnessed by crowd Of by
standers. The enraged woman then left,
and, going home, wrote q pathetic appeal
TO Gamble, which was also ignored.
Last night she bought an ounce Of lauda-
mum and retired TO her bed-chamber. She
had been seen to conceal the bottle as she
entered the hallway and the next morning
her failure to rise at the usual hour excited
suspicion. The bedroom door was forced,
and she was found stretched out on the
bed in an evening costume which she had
purchased In preparation for the marriage.
She hae taken the laudanum, but physi-
clan succeeded, after six hours work. in
restoring her to consciousness. Gamble
did not appear at all remorseful. and when
the widow, who Is older than he is, sent
another plea TO him he again refused TO be
a party to the marriage. Mrs. Behring
says, with stern emphasis. that she will
kill herself the first chance she gets. The
lovelorn woman has two small children
and her husband has only been dead a
little over q year. Her friends are watch
ing her closely.
