There is g. moderate amount OF DulidlnS
going on in the town, and there would be
much more but for the e1orbitant prices
at which lots are held. As an instance, on
the outskirts OF the town, lots 3O1l2O are
held at 81 200 and 1900, and the owners
of inside lots are unwilling to put price
upon them. If this policy is continued

CANADIAN MATTERS.

Boundary Between Alaska and british
Columbia-Feeling Over the Fisheries
Treaty.
New YORK, February 1S.-An Ottawa
special says: 1t has been arranged that an
International move will be made in the
direction of the location of q boundary line
between British Columbia and Alaska. in
the event of satisfactory settlement OF
the fishery question. The matter is to be
submitted to commission, on which
England will be represented. The Canadian
Government has been pressing for the ap'
pointment of commission for over q year
past. The settlement of the fishery ques-
ton has also created an angry controversy
between the Government and opposition
organs. Several official newspapers, guided
by the tone of American dispatches, have
little praise for Tupper. Others say they
will content themselves with congratulate
ing the Commissioners on the conclusion OF
their labors until tho treaty is published.
The Liberals, or opposition papers, unani-
mously deplore the alleged result. Mon
treal and Halifax newspapers are accusing
Tupper and Chamberlain OF wilfully sacrl-
ficing Canadian interests.

The Successful Raid Of an Irate Woman
Upon Poker Party.
Onaneock (Va.) special: A party OF
poker players had rather exciting expert
ence at tAccomac Court House several nights
ago. They were in an exciting game of draw
in an upper story Of a private house, when,
to their utter amazement, female figure
appeared upon the scene armed with a for
midable hatchet, and began to berate the
men for cheating her husband, who was
also engaged in the game. They all
protested their innocence and swore that
they had been losers in the game. She
would not listen to them but hurled the
hatchet at their heads, putting them to
route causing some of them to tumble
down the steps and others to leap out OF
the window to the ground below. She
scooped in the jack pot and several private
piles that had been left on the table by the
frightened players, amounting in all to
about SIS, and returned home in triumph
With her captured booty and crestfallen
husband.

the water drawn III der pressure from the
Deer Lodge water works was white. Itwae
found by an analysis made in the college
laboratory, to be a mixture Of air and car
bonic dioxide gas. Further analysis
showed the presence Of silica, oxide OF iron
alumina, lime and magnesia. The presence
OF lime indicates that in some part of iti
course the water comes in contact with q
lime formation. although at times thu
water is so pure that the above mentioned
solid constituents can not be detected. Nc
organic matter can be found in the water
So we conclude that the water is very pur'
and entirely safe to drink.
Last week q new student arrived who
was sent to one of the professors to b.
examined. The professor asked him wha

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Sketch of the Business Likely to Occupy
the Senate and House.

WASHINGTON February 19.-The Senate
will probably devote Monday and Tuesday
of the coming week to consider miscel-
laneous matters on it's calendar, and on
Wednesday it will take up the undervalua
ton bill. 1t is Senator Allison's purpose to
ask that the usual adjournment from
Thursday to the following Monday be dis
pensed with this week unlesSthis measure
shall have been passed by Thursday night,
which is not likely. Executive calendars
contain little to occupy the time OF the Sen
ate Except the nomination OF Consu!-Gen-
eral Rathbone, of Paris, whose confirma'
ton is vigorously opposed), but the
FISHERIES TREATY,
which is expected tomorrow, will perhaps
give rise to some discussion during the
week. It is the intention OF some Senator's
to ask the treaty to he made public at
once, and majority is dcubtlese in favor
of such a course, but as the "precedents
and traditions" of the Senate are against
it, the result is doubtful. 1t has happened
before this when 9TH the Senate and State
Department were willing or desirous to
have a matter OF this kind made public,
neither felt at liberty to take the initiative
and no way OF accomplishing he puplica-
ton was offered except to have the matter
called from the country whore precedents
we're less embarrassing. Unless the report
OF the Secretary OF War upon the Boutelle
BATTLEFLAG RESOLUTION
should be transmitted to the House OF
Representatives tomorrow and the day be
consumed in political discussion, the
Speaker after the introduction OF bills for
reference, will call committees for motions
to suspend the rules. None of the COM
mittees have, as yet, decided what meas
ures they will submit for action under this
call, but many of them will hold sessions
tomorrow morniag for that purpose: 1t
is probable that the Ways and Means
Committee will endeavor to obtain the
passage by the House of Mills joint reso-
luton providing for the investment OF the
surplus in the Treasury and that the
Judiciary Committee proposing a consti:
tutional amendment to change the date OF

An AtrOcious Attempt at Murder BY
Masked Men Frustrated In Time.
Louisville special: A daring robbery and
attempt at an atrocious murder was COM
mitted late last night on the Short Line

denly emerged from the darkness, seized
him and demanded his money. He replied
by striking one OF the men with his fists,
knocking him to his knees. The other two
then jumped on the victim and struck him
several times about the head, and over
powered him. They
THRUST A HANDKERCHIEF
into his mouth, at the same time throwing
him to the ground on the railroad track.
Several pieces of stout rope were produced,
and the four villains bound him hand and
foot SO tight that the circulation was i'm.
peded and permanent injury was narrowly
averted. After binding and gagging bo-
gartner the highwaymon deliberately tied
him across the track so securely that
escape was impossible. They then took
his money and overcoat and disappeared.
The victim was nearly exhausted from tho
desperate struggle, and was
SUFFERING INTENSELY
from the blows on the head. He could
make no outcry. The place was lonely
one. and the cold winds were piercing. Bo-
eartper knew that the Lexington train was
due in very few minutes. and that unless
he was accidentally discovered before It's
arrival he had but few minutes to live. he
strained every nerve to break loose, but in
vain. He heard the tumble OF the train in
the distance and gave himself up for lost.
But suddenly he heard footstep ap'
preaching, and Albert Wallace, yardman,
came up. He quickly cut the ropes and
dragged the insen>ible man to one side Just
one minute before the train passed. Bo-
partner did not recogniza his assallants,
and no one has been arrested as yet.
