EnviabIe Career Of a ColOred
Man.

Col. Tom. Chester, a noted colored
gentleman of Louisville Kv.. passed
through Huntingdon last Friday We
ming on his way home from Harris
burg, where he had been visiting
old friends. Mr.. Chester has had a
checkered career. Twenty-three
years ago he was a Southern slave
and made good his escape into Penn
sylva,.ia. Coming to Harrisburg he
entered the family of Simon Came
ron as u mental servant and by faiths
fulness secured the old ex-Senator's
interest. While working here he
showed considerable love for papers
ana books and through Mr.. Cam
eron's generosity he was literally
educated. L, aving the United States
he settled in Liberia, where he soon
rose among the highest in official STA
ton, finally being sent as the gov
ernment's representative to Russia.
From there he went tn London and
practiced law in the Queens Court
in that city. A short time after he
came to America and is now presl-
dent of q large railroad, with head
quarters at Louisville. This mans
career Is q living argument to prove
that study and application can do
much for the colored man.-hunt.

This evening Charlotte Thompson will give her
powerful rendition of Miss Moult N. in the
play of that name. The New Orleans Picayune

character, among other fattering things says

of Sarah Moulton, and to this extent h r name

Mayor Owsley.

The wound our worthy mayor received in the
face at the time Of the accident at the race
track and while he was bravely trying to save
the lives of the crowd under the falling roof
has abont healed and his cheek is again return
ing to its usual pale color. To our present may
or is due in 9 great measure the good order
which prevailed in this place when it was only
q new quartz camp, Before the courts are well
established in such a place there is almost al
ways a time of disorder and d anger. when grave
yards are to be started. and selfappointed COM
mittees set 70 work to start them. On
one occasion some newly arrived roughs
took it into their heads to 'take
the town." and after that to run Butte As
for the town, the very first person they pounced
upon was Mr.. Owsley, He was standing in
saloon with his back against, and his el-
bows resting upon the bar, when in came about
q dozen OF these roughs who walked up to him
and with much brag and Boosting annonced
their intention to 'clean out this camp and run
it themselves, and they would make q beginning
right then and there. Mr.. Owsley appeared to
be ~overpowered by their boasttng backed by
their numbers. He did not move-he did not
answer word. The leader of the mob and his
lieutenants a a dash toward their unresist-
ing victim. Mr.. Owsley mi .dly stretched out
his hands, and in a paternal way, laid his right
on the head of the captain, at the same time his

then quickly removing his right hand
he patronizeingly patted the second

There men were not used to such impressive
strokes Of affection. They fell as If they had
been shot. The crowd stood for a mrment |
with astonishment and then made q rush
lor the door. The only word spoken was
quick" and it was quick, too, for in
than fifteen seconds that crowd was outside
for their leaders. By and by they re-

A pleasant sight to behold and one profitable
to the stockholders was to be seen in the Alice
Office yesterday. Twenty-seven silver bricks av-
eraging IS pounds avoirdupoi. were displayed
upon the shelves of the large safe in the compa-
ny's office. These were the product of q nine

holders. At that rate you will soon be rich. Su-
perintendent Hall says the miAes belonging to

We learn from authority, though names are
withheld, hat negotiations are in progress for
he sale OF q mine near Butte, that has up to this
time not been considered first class and is not
well known, at the price Of $3.50, 900. The same au-
thority states that the owner would not now sell
ifhe were no. in debt. An expert says that
there is now at least half Z million in sight in
that mine. The owner is to be congratulated.
This sudden sep from poverty toa condition in
which one can know where the cash is to pay

w understand from MI. Louis Demer that
the more work is done ON the Granite Mountain
Of Philipsburg, the better 1t shows. 1t is worked
not by a shaft but by tunnels run into the
mountain. There are now three of these tun-
nels in operation. The lowest of these taps the
lead at the depth Of about 500 feet. The ore is
very rich. This is the mine that yielded $685..
600 from 1.5OO tons of ore. We understand that
while MI. Charles Clark. of this city, was in
Philipsburg, experimenting the interests of the
Hope Company, to which this mine belonged,
dissatisfaction was expressed with his manage.

Speech of Carter Harrison Oh the Unit
Rule.

am
Rule.
Carter Harrison here got the floor
amid loud and continued applause.
The question is wi ether the cOnven-
tioD shall make lis rules Of not. We
are are told by gentlemen from New
York that delegates are instructed to
vote as a unit. That may be true.
II they failed to instruct then they
disobeyed their State, but this con-
vention hos nothing to do with that
question. It is tor them to return to
their constituents and 8 Y to their
constituents whether they have done
we'll or done badly. No for US here,
I want harmony, 1 don't know
but When the time comes
the gentleman from New York, Mr..
Brady, and [ may be wide from each
other in whom we should vote for.
1t is not a question of candi-
date, but, sir, suppose the
chairman of the State of Illinois
announces it cast so many votes for
,ne man and so many for another,
if he cast it improperly, have I not
a right to challenge that vote?
[Applause.] The chairman of the
New York delegation will announce
If he chooses seventv-twO votes from
New York, but there may be one
man or a dozen, or there may be
forty men, say, who declare that the
chairman has not announced it
correctly. Are We here on every
question 10 be compelled to ak
whether the States are instructed for
the unit rule or not? That is not for
this convention to decide. We
make our rules and our rules should
be that every man when challenging
the vote of the chairman must be
heard and must be righted.
