THE FIRST CABINET MEETING President
Cleveland met his Cabinet officially for the
first time, on Tuesday. The object of the
meeting is not known, but it is supposed to
have been for the purpose of deciding the
policy of the administration with regard to
Federal patronage and civil service reform.
From what has been learned of the result of
the meeting it is believed that sweeping
changes will not be made The letter and
spirit ofthe civil service reform rules will be
complied with, and this will nccessitate the
removal from office of officials who have VIC
lated the law by extra officiousness in poll
tics. Vacancies will be filled with compe-
tent Democrats. In fact, President Cleve-
land seems determined to give the country
a Democratic administration, and to do this
and to carry out reforms in the national ad,
minstration, those occupying offices of trust
and responsibility must be in full accord with
President Cleveland and his views and aims.

President Arthur returns to private life
with larger share of the respect and conf.
dence of his fellow citizens than he possess
ed when, under trying and embarrassing cir
cumstances, he became President. His ad-
ministration was dignified, prudent and clean
He seldom yielded to partisan clamor and
manifested a disposition to enforce the laws
as he found them ON the statute books. Un-
fortunately for him and the country the cor
rupt rings at Washington were too strong to
be broken by him or any other Republican
President His private life was that OF an
unostentatious, well.bred gentleman, who
knew how to respect others as well as him.

Anecdotes Of Justice.

The justice of the peace is some
times a popularity, and if some one
does not watch him he will exceed
his Jurisdiction. 1t took a constable,
a sheriff, a prosecuting attorney and
a club to convice a Wyoming justice
of the peace that he had no right to
send a man to the penitentiary for
life. Another justice in Utah lei
fenced a criminal to be hung on the
following Friday between twelve and
one O'Clock of said day, but he could
not enforce the sentence. A Wiscon-
sin justice of the peace granted a di-
vorce and in two weeks married the
couple over again-ten dollars for the
divorce and two dollars for the re-
lapse Another Badger justice bound
a young man over to appear and an
swer at the next term of the Circuit
Court for the crime of chastity, and
the evidence was entirely circumstaD-
tial, too.
Another one, when his first case
came up, jerked a candle box around
behind the dining room table, put
his hat on the back of his head, bor-
rowed a chew of tobacco from the
prisoner, and said: "Now, boys,
the courts open. The first teller
that says a word unless 1 speak to
him will get paralyzed- Now, tell
your story" Then each witness and
the defendant reeled off his yarn
without being sworn. The justice
fined the defendant ten dollars and
made the complaining witness pay
half the cost. The justice then took
the fine and put it in his pocket, ad-
journed court, and in an hour was so
full that 1t took six men to hold his
house still long enough for him to
get INTO the doors.
A North Park justice of the peace
and under sheriff formed a partner
ship years ago for the purpose of
supplying people with justice at New
York prices, and by doing a strictly
cash business they dispensed with a
good deal of justice, such as it was.
1t was a misdeneanor to kill game
and ship it out of the state, and as
there was a good deal killed there,
consisting of elk, antelope and black
tail deer especially, and as it could
not be hauled out of the Park at that
season without going across the Wy
oming line and back again into the
State of Colorado, the undersheriff
would load himself down with war
rants, signed in blank, and station
himself on horseback at the foot of
the pass to the North. He would
then arrest everybody indiscriminate-
ly who had any fraction of q deer,
antelope or elk on his wagon, try the
case then and there, put on a fine of
s25 to $75, which if paid never
reached the treasury, and then he
would wait for another victim. The

''the child of Company E." When
BERTHE was informed of our action by
a committee delegated for the pur-
pose she nodded her head and made
answer IN her quaint fashion.
II like We boys, and hits a go!'
The best tent was fitted up for her
especial use, and if a man had gone
to the post and not brought back a
present for The Broncho" his life
would have been placed in jeopardy.
She exerted a wonderful influence
over these rough men, and there was
not one in the company that would
not have laid down his life for her.
Reckless Jeff in particular was her
devoted slave and ''The Broncho" was
always in his company. She loved
him and would sit for hours in his
strong arms listening to the stories
that fell from his lips, occasionally
commenting in her old-fashioned
way. Never was princess draped cut
more gorgeously with ribbons and
| fine dresses than Broncho BERTHE.
Once when she was sick a man killed
his horse riding for the post surgeon,
and the men tip-toed their way about
camp lest 1.-The Broncho'' should be
disturbed. Mad Milton taught her
to read and spell and the captain
bought her the gentlest pony that
could be had for money.
One day, no member of Company
E will yer forget it, Reckless Jeff
and Mad Milton went to the post and
came back to camp under the infu-
ence of liquor. We had just finished
a shooting match when they rode in,
and both men laughed at our marks

"See here, boys" cried Jeff, pull
ing out his six shooter. "Ill show
you what shooting is. Broncho!"
The little maiden stepped forward
and, whispering something in her ear,
jeff handed her an ordinary bottle
cork. She ran to a tree about twen-
ty PAGES distant and, facing US, SET
the cork on top of her curley head
and folded her arms. Jim cooked his
six shooter and slowly raised it.

OVERCOME BY GAS.
Terrible Accident in Pennsylvania
Mine.
Twelve Miners Dead and Many
Others Missing.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 1.-THE mine
of the West End Coal Company, operated by
Conyngham, Teasdale & Co., at Macanaqua,
was the scene of a peculiar and terrible acci-
shift went off duty the fan broke. The boss
knew of this, and so did the men on the day
shift before they entered the mine, but not
withstanding this they went into the mine
taking the great risk. There were about 800
who were supplied with safety lamps, as it
was well known that gas would accumulate
About 70 men were in the mine when work
began. The workmen repairing were the
first who were overcome with the gas, and
about an hour later the same fate was shared
by many of the miners in the mine. Before
the men fairly realized their danger, more
than 20 were unconscious. Those who could
then escape did so. Superintendent John
Teasdale with a corps of men as a relief
went down the mine to assist in making their
escape, and after being in the mine half an
hour Ieasdale became unconscious, as did
several of his men, who were with difficulty
rescued. Then others went down, and in the
face of immense difficulties, and in spite Of
being continually overcome by the gas, got
out all but ten. Three of those brought out
were dead, and those in the mine are beyond
doubt dead.
The dead as far as can be learned are Jas.
Whalen, VIM. Vineby, Peter Bornitzki,
John Dilday and Hiram Mead. Eight men
were badly hurt and some of those rescued
alive are still unconscious and in precari-
GUS condition
The boss at the mine says he notified the
men before they entered that the fan had
stopped, and that it was not safe to enter, as
the mine was filing with gas. This is denied
by the miners and laborers, who on the con-
trary say he told them to go to work, and
that the fan was broken, but would be re-
paired in an hour. The death roll numbers
twelve.
