THE MOUNTAIN LABoRED.
Report OF the House Committee on Ac
counts on the Extra Months PA!

Report OF the House Committee on Ac-
counts on the Extra Months Pay
Matter.
On Saturday the house committee on &C.
counts reported favorably tho resolution
offered last December by Mr.. Geddes to pay
house employees who came to work prior to
Feb. l, 1884, an extra months pay.
The committee amended the resolution by
providing that its benefits should not extend
to employees who were appointed on or after
Feb. 4, 1888. Crhe main effect of the amend
ment being to prevent Mr. keifer's nephew,
Ben. p. Gaines from drawing months extra
pay.
In concluding their report tho committee
says, in regard to tho controversy between
ex-Speaker Keifer and Stenographer Tyson :
We have reviewed with great care the tes-
timony submitted, and find that there are
several conflicting statements as to minor
points involved In the investigation, but from
tho analysis Of the evidence upon the ma
torial points at issue, the following conclu-
sions are reached:
That Mr.. Gaines performed no service
during the vacation of congress. There were
no committees of the house in session and no
service could be rendered by either of tho
stenographers to committees.
That the agreement as to Tyson's resigna-
from the date of Tyson's appointment, was
one which Tyson seems not to have under
Stood although it is fairly probable that the
speaker had such an impression. 1t is also
fairly probable, taking into consideration
the testimony Of Mr. Robson, Mr.. Gaines, Mr..
Dawson, Mr.. Clark, and Mr.. Tyson. and
tho letter written by Gen. Keifer March 3.
1883, that this agreement" or understand
ing" if it existed, affected both Dawson and
Tyson; that the negotiations between Daw-
son and Tyson, by which the former agreed
TO share his salary with the lattor during the
vacation Of congress, We're had with the
knowledge and approval of Gen. Keller 1t
is fair to state, however, that Gen. Keifer
did not see the contract between Dawson and
Tyson, either before or after is execution,
and was in no wise beneficiary thereof, ex-
ccpt in so far as il saved him from tho pain.
full necessity" of ordering the removal of
either Tyson or Dawson. That the resigna-
tion of c. w. Tyson was rendered because
demanded by the speaker, and was, in fact, q
resignation under protest.

Tie ShnlSknenre Club.

The meeting of tho Shakespeare club held
on Saturday evening at the residence of Miss

the historical basis from which it was derived.
Prof j. IL. Warwick, of Brooklyn, who was
present, entertained the club by II fine rendl-

should be some different method Of giving out

The reporters also found themselves con-

district as criminal or incompetent, or stiR-

in that connection beyond suggesting that il

plant should be addressed to the offender.
The star favored tho adoption of tho COM
missionership form of government originally,
and is sincerely anxious for tho success Of
the experiment. II believes that the COM

commendable ambition, aud though not
blindly supporting all their measures, IL has

The weather is hot and dry, and present
indications are that it will continue so for
some time However. there will be cold
and wet day for some of the boys next Sat
urday.
At present all crops look favorable except
the hay crop, which will fall considerably
below an average in this section, on account
of heavy frosts in May, and not enough
rain in June.
Last week there were three barn raisings
in this township. The largest of the three
was 1l2xi6 feet. The barns were all raised
on the days appointed and everything pass
ed off smoothly except at one of the barns,
where a man fell from the first floor and
struck stone below, cuttiug an ugly gash
in his head, and sustaining other injuries.
