THE LUCKY BAR COMPANY.
Its Annual Election Of Ohicers Results
In the Reelection Of the Old

Its Annual Election Of Oiicers Results
In the Reelection Of the Old
Board.
The annual meeting of stock
holders of the Lucky Bar Placer
Mining Company took place in the
counting room OF the TIMES last
Saturday evening, every share of
stock being represented. The fol-
lowing Trustees were elected to serve
for the ensuing year, to-wit: j. S.
Waters, Q. A. French, G. H. Furey,
Thos. Fl. Anthony, and T. e. Picotte.
). }. Friedman declined to serve.
The Secretary reported that the dis
bursements since the organization of
the company amounted to $7694.11,
besides some $500 or $500 expended
by individual stockholders, for which
the company was not responsible, as
they were paid off when incurred.
The heavy machinery rented last
April, with the privilege of purshas-
ing for $4,000 at any time, while it
was good as far as it went, did not
supply one-half the quantity of water
which it was guaranteed to pump.
Other machinery would therefore have
to be provided, which could be got to
work at an expense of between $500
and $1,000. AS the company had al
ready expended thrice the sum which
it had intended to invest at the start,
some months may elapse before this
other machinery can be secured, but
there was nothing else to do just now.
In the meantime three or four men
would be kept to work on the ground,
washing gold by means of hand
pump out of gravel taken from the
4O-odd prospect holes made in various
portions of the company's claims. In
this way the ground would be thor
oughly tested, and, Superintendent
Anthony thought, without its costing
the company one cent for operating,
over and above the gold extracted in
washing.
At meeting of the Trustees, held
subsequently, the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year, to-
wit: President. S. Waters; Vice
President-Q. A. French; Superin-
tendent-Thomas H. Anthony; Treas
urer-C. H. Furey; Secretary-T. E.

From the Gold Belt.

William H. Atkinson came in to-day
from the Gold Belt. He reports con-
siderable activity there since Mr..
Murphy bonded the Alaska, Jumbo,
Tip-top, and other claims for sums
aggregating $4,000, and unless
he greatly mistakes the signs of the
times the Gold Belt will be, ere many
months, much liveier than now, and
employ large number of men. The
bond on the Alaska, etc., is to run 60
days only.
Mr.. Atkinson will remain in town
about one week.

The Wheeling and Lake Erie Pur.
chased Under Foreclosure.

CLEVELAND, April 23.-The Wheeling
q Lake Erie road was sold at Cleveland to-
day by Maj. W. F. Goodspeed, special
master, on decree of foreclosure issued by
the United States circuit court in the suit
of the Farmers Loan and Trust company
against the Wheeling & Lake Erie. There
was only one bid, S5O5, OOO which was
made by George S. Forest, Melville G. Day
and Dan E. Garrison of New York, as
trustees of the reorganization committee.
The cash payment was S25, 900, and the
balance Of the purchase money is not pay
able until the confirmation of the sale,
which cannot be within thirty days. Mr..
Melville c. Day, one of the purchasers
trustees. said to a reporter:
1.-THE reorganization committee includes au
the first bOndhClders, representing So, $50 900,
except the holders of six bonds whose resi-
dence we have learned only to-day. Our plan
also allowed the old stockholders, second
bondholders and general creditors to come in
by paying an assessment ranging from % to
81 per cent, but very few of them have taken
advantage of it. The road extends from
Toledo to Bowerstown, where it connects
with the Panhandle road. do not know
when it will be constructed on
to Wheeling. There are so many
labor strikes and troubles now that
don't think it will be attempted soon. Yes,
the Garrison family probably controlled
majority of the first bonds. Commodore Gar
rison also owned 81, 100000 of the second
bonds, and altogether the road cost hin
nearly S7,000,000. For four of the old first
bonds, three will be issued under the reor-
ganization plan. The old bonds bore pei
cent. interest, while the new ones will be
per cent bonds. do not know how much
stock will be issued. The first bondholders
will receive certain amount. but this will
have to be arranged hereafter. No change il
the management of the property is intended
at present.

DUE TO JEALOUSY.
Attempted Wife Murder and suicide
in New Orleans.

Special to the GLOBE
NEW ORLEANS La, April 23--Will-
lam c. NeSsen, dealer in dry goods and
notions on Dauphin and De Siere streets in
this city, celebrated Good Friday in a very
bloody manner. NeSsen was 73 years old
and in good circumstances, married man
with an interesting family. He married a
second time twenty-five years ago, his wife
being Miss ROsalie Corneille, a creole of this
city. by whom he had eight children, and
two children by his first wife. For some
time past Nessen, although an old man, has
been wildly jealous of his wife, who is
only 80 years old, and twenty-fOur years
his junior, even going so far as to declare
that the last child was not his. At an
early hour this morning, before Mrs. NeSsen
had left her bed, he entered her room with
two pistols in his hands. that he had pur-
chased especially for this occasion, and
shouted:
Rosalie, as we cannot live together in peace,
We had better die together.
He fired his pistol as he said this, striking
his wife in the left breast. She sprang
from the bed. when he fired again, the ball
passing through the right forearm and
lodging in the right shoulder. but although
severely wounded, having lost great deal
of blood, she escaped from the house
and alarmed the neighbors. They entered
the room, and found Nessen dead at the
foot of his wife's bed. He had placed the
muzzle Of the pistol in his mouth and blown
out his brains. Clara, one of the daughters,
saw the fatal act. Her father, she saws,
removed his false teeth before inserting the
pistol in his mouth. She tried to clutch
his hand, but 1t was too late, and the pistol
was discharged. One of the children, AL
bert, was also wounded by his father dur
ing the shooting.

IF.

If congress should act upon the presi-
dents suggestion and pass law creating
an arbitration commission, and il the presi-
dent should then in turn act upon Senator
BECK's suggestion and appoint ex-Senatogs
THURMAN, MCDONALD and CoNKLING as
members of the commission, wouldn't he
have splendid chance TO avenge himself
on the senate? That body would be
driven into a hole. With its inclination to
favor the corporations, wouldn't such a
commission be bitter dose to swallow,
and with the old-time animosity OF
the Republican leaders toward CoNKLISG,
it would be gnawing a file for them " be
compelled to ratify his nomination. But
facing them would be such a strong public
sentiment favorable to the appointment OF
these three eminent statesmen that there
would be no avenue of escape for the senate.
The pin would have to be swallowed and the
file would lave to be gnawed. But the bill
has not been passed, the president has not
appointed thess three distinguished gentle
men, and there are so many ''ifs" in the
way, it is premature TO discuss the matter.

,ARKS IMPROVING

Experience is worth something to Com
missioner SPARKS. 1t has unquestiOnaby
been the object of the land commissioner
all along to prevent land frauds. but the
singular part of 1t is that he did not in the
beginning devise some practical scheme for
accomplishing his purpose, similar to the
one he has now hit upon. If, instead of
suSpending the issuing of all patents, the
commissioner had established his board of
review at the commencement of his TEN of
Office, he would now have been pretty well
through with the work of inveStiga-
ton. The selection of fifteen *
twenty of the more expert clerks
of the law Office and constituting them
special board to examine and report upon
all applications for patents to public lands,
seems to be capital plan to prevent fraud.
In connection with the services of the spe-
eial agents, who are detailed as field force
to look after the detection of fraudulent en-
tries, the new land office board ought to be
enabled to keep matters pretty we'll straight
ened out and to shut out all opportunities
for fraudulent practices. Gen. SPARKS
heart is all right, and if he is only given
time enough his head will get level. He is
learning from experience and will get there
after awhile.

SUNDAYS GLOBE.

To-morrow's issue of the GLOBE will be
one of more than usual excellence. The
pressure upon advertising space by appre-
ciative and far-seeing business men will
necessitate Il very large paper in order that
our patrons might not be deprived of sim
gle column of reading matter. On the con-
trary there will be more features of unusual
interest than ever before. In purely dis
interested spirit every young woman in St.
Paul and Minneapolis whose thoughts are
inclined towards matrimony is advised
to read Sundays GLOBE, that she may see
the variety of choice that is open TO her,
while the young men are given an intima-
ton that if they miss reading that issue of
the paper their fair friends will soon call
their attention to the omission. There will
be much interesting mental food for all,
young and old. in Sundays GLOBE, and it
will be a matter worthy of regret if any
person fails to partake of the fest of good
si.lngs which will be SET before them,

Panama Happenings.

NEW YORK, April 23.-Mail advices from
Panama under the date of the 10. say:
Gen. Richard Gator, Esq, who was a prom
inent lea Ter in the revolution in 1SS4-S5, died
from n fever in prison, on the night of April
=. As is customary. his relatives and friends
issued notices that the funeral would take
place at p. m. the next day, but to the sur
prise of most persons, before the arrival of
the hour named the corpse was inferred priv
ately. The report is in circulation, but is
not credited that he was poisoned. Arrests
have been made of some of the persons who
have circulated such reports.
BY the explosion ON March 20, at the port of
furnace of the boiler of the steamer Colombia,
serious loss of life resulted. The Columbia
had ON board fifty-fOUr passengers of whom
fifteen were killed and fourteen seriously
wounded The scene presented was most
heart rendering and two instances are noted

their children.

Blaine had been elected, wouldn't JAY
GOULD have had picnic? With the whole
force and power of the general government
to back him in his speculative schemes,
he would have made Wall street howl. II
BLAINE had been president in place of
CLEVELAND the whole line of the South
western railway system would now be pat
rolled by Federal soldiers, and every muffin
Gus striker would have been shot
down or placed behind prison bars.
With BLAINE as president GOULD
would have been Dictator and
nothing could have prospered that didn't
come under his control. But it didn't hap
pen so, and Mr.. GOULD has to worry along
the best he can. He is hoeing a very
stumpy row at present and if Mr. BLAINE
could give him lift it would help the old
man along nightly.
