The announcement Of the appoint
ment of Mrs. Mary A. Crocker as ex'
ecutrix Of the $as,ooo,ooo estate Of
the late Charles Croker, Of California,
recalls, says the New York Times, an
incident connected with her marriage.
After NJ. Croker left the West, many
years ago, a comparatively wealthy
man, to marry the daughter Of his
former employer, he was informed that
his property had been destroyed by
fire, and he was again a poor man.
When Mr.. Croker heard Of the state
of his finances he urged his intended
wife to remain with her family until he
had built up his fallen fortune and
made a home for her. This she re.
fused to do, and they were mar
RED and went West. Mr.. Croker
repeatedly attributed his subsequent
successes to the assistance he always
received from his wife, and his action
in making her executrix Of his will was
his crowning recognition of her worth
as a helpmate.

against the dealers and they were indicted
by the grand jury. The trial was taken

extinguished all the lights in the mine.
Accompanied by eleven of his comrades,
he CROPPED around in the darkness and after
wandering about the chambers for half an
hour or more all lay down to die. At last
attracted the attention of the rescuing
party. 1t is estimated that ninety miners
lost their lives in the pit. Michael Lyons
was found 700 feet from the Shaft His

second explosion, when all were struck by
a wave of after damp and killed.

DAKOTA
DOINGS OF DELEGATEs.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The house COM
mittee on territories had meeting this
morning and heard a delegation from the
Aberdeen convention. Mr.. johnson stated
that but thirteen counties gave majorities
for division at the last election. The
Springer bill he said was entirely satisfac-
tory to the people of Dakota and he advo-
Gated its passage. Mr.. johnson claims
that no one in Dakota wants division ex-
cept politicians and that the Aberdeen
convention was the spontaneous uprising
of the people. Colonel Gale of Canton,
one of the delegates, it is understood is
opposed to admission in any shape. Mr..
Gale is now here and the democrats of the
house are delighted with his utterances.
The instigators of the Aberdeen conven-
tion in Washington are very much pleased
with the delegation, as it carries out the
original instruction that they support the
Springer bill, which forces minority repre-
sentation upon the future state, intermed-
dies with county lines and county seats
and actually postpones admission indef-
nitely. All this is precisely what the
democrats want. ALL the arguments will
be printed by the committee.

INTER STATE COMMERCE.
SOME INTERESTING rACrs


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-An appendix to
the report of the Interstate commerce COM
mission states that on October 10th last
the commission issued circular inquiring
as to the manner in which the fourth Sec
ton had been applied upon the lines of
various roads and systems. Answers had
been received on December 1st from all the
carriers except fifteen. Of those companies
which answered the circular, 278 carriers
or lines distinctly assert that they do not
make interstate rates where greater sum
is charged for shorter than for longer
distance in the same direction over the
same line to or from any point on their
respective roads; seventy-seven carriers
admit making lower rates for longer dis
tances, naming the points and giving a
statement of the circumstances claimed to
justify them in doing SO. The existence of
water competition IS the most frequent
circumstance named.

members of the house committee on ways

have their tariff bill ready early next

a measure of their own, even if the demo-
Gratis should make concessions in their
bill, and that the programme arranged by
which the democratic bill is to come before
the committee for general suggestions
prior to its introduction in the honse is but
a scheme to defeat the republicans III their
determination to have bill of their own.
