1t is said that rich old deposits have been
found on the Chinese side of the Amoor river
and that there is q rush To the spot much like
that of 40 in California The region is q most
inhospitable one, and heretofore it has been re-
garded as a punishment worse than death to be
banished there But if gold is TO Toe found, why,
that makes a difference. of course. The trouble
now will be TO keep back the rush.

should call and examine the book. We
noticed several lots ready for shipment to

Easton, Pa, and Canton, Ohio, and
were also spprised of the fact that several

FATAL FALL.

A Man Steps From a Train and Strikes
Ground Ninety Feet Below.
At Taylorstown last evening man was
put of the west bound train by the con-
ductor. When the train arrived Just this
side of the town on trestle work ninety
feet high, the passengers who were looking
out OF that side OF the train were Mortified
to see mans body sailing through space
to the depths below. The train was
run back and party went down
the embankment to find the body. IL was
discovered lying OF the ground below hor-
ribly mutilated, many bones being broken.
The body was carried back to the train
and taken back to Taylorstown. where
medical aid was summoned, but the man
will undoubtedly die No cause for the
rash act can be imagined, except that he
was friend Of the man who was put of,
and did not notice that the train was on
the irestle when he stepped of, His name
could not be learned.

ALMOsT A ROW.
A Lively Time at Last NIGHTS
Committee Meeting.
Barney GaIIigan Appears on the Stand
and TumuIt and Disorder Ensues
---Hisses and Cries of Put
Him Out'---The Chief
Cross Examined.

It has been said that the events tran
spring at Saturday evenings session OF
the investigating committee were at times
dramatic. If this be 50, certainly there
were moments last night when the drama
seemed about to change to q tragedy.
Instead of the murmurs Of applause which
the hsbitues Of the old hall Of the House
during the past week have been accustom'
ed to induleing in, one heard loud stamp
ing of feet and angry shouts Of Put him
outr Instead of light laughter, one heard
ominous Kissing from a hundred threats,
and where one was wont to see the
pleasant couutenances of citizens drawn
out Of curiosity to listen to such testimony
as might be given, the spectator could see
the pale faces and flashing eyes Of men
wrought, by feelings of friendship or part
zanship, on one side or the ether, up to
point where actual danger was to be
feared. >,
II is well that no violence resulted; vel
for those who were present; well Tor the
reputation Of our people at large. 1t II
unfortunate in the exteme that the scene
enacted during the course of the evening
occurred. 1t is to be hoped that such an
other display of temper, either by the pub
lie or BY individuals, will never again oc
cur during the progress OF the investigs
ton, or in the future conduct of our mu
nicipal affairs.
1t was evident from the very first thai
there was to be q tremendous crowd
Long before o'clock the gallery was hal
full Of spectators, while about one hundred
more, mainly Councilmen, officials of one
sort or another, and prominent citizens
had found seats upon the floor Of the hall
As the honr for the beginning Of the seS
sion drew near, the attendance largely in
creased and by half past seven probably
