Texas style.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.--Representa'
tive Martin, Of Athens, Texas, to day
made his maiden speech in the hou't.
He is u typical Texan in appearance,
tull. lean and raw -boned, and he has
nil the wild western disdain Of good
clothes. He wears his vest open. so
open in fact that ut Il first glance one
sees more shirt front than anything
else. He achieved fame the first DAY
of his arrival here. When retiring
that night he blew out the gas ana
only the promptness OF the hotei
watchlnan and hard work of doctor
prevented u vacancy IN the Second
Congressional District of Texas.
To-day u report was presented from
the committee, on printing 2O,OOO ad.
ditiOnal ct pies Of tile consular report
relative to cattle aud daily products in
Europe. Mr.. Hatch moved that
25,OO0 instead of 10000 be printed
Regardless Of the fact that he had not
been recognized by the chair, and
that another member had the hoor,
Martin got up and In stentorian tones
uttered the words, "Mr. Speaker" No
sooner had he paid this tribute than
Speaker Carlisle brought the gavel
down with u whack on the desk, but
Martin had gazed at u herd OF wild
steers without Hinching. and u little
thing like the Speakers gavel was not
going to bother him. "Every farmer
in the land" he said, t6any went the
Speakers savel "should have (oahg)
a copy of this valuable book (banp)
and we cannot use money (bang) in
the treasury more protitably (hang)
than by giving the farmers this infor'
nation" (Bang)
During the course OF this short
speech Martins arm bad been flyinr
around his head like an anngitated wiid
mill, and having finished what he had
to say serenely sat do.n, while th,
house applauded, and 30 vigorously
had Carlisle welded his gavel tha
when Martin concluded the Speaker
emblem Of authority was only !
shadow OF its former self.
Then there was u funny scene
Hardly had Martin neatly tucked his
legs under his desk when Reed, o
Maine, was leaning over his desl
warmly congratulating him on hi'
fine speech. Reed WAS 70 lowed by a
score or more of Republicans, and ~
soon as they had finished the Demo
Gratis took their place and told Martir
what an impression he had made. Thu
amendment advocated by Martin wa
adopted.

Stone Dead.

Yesterday quite sensation was ere
ated hy the report that the man Be
shears, who died suddenly Monday,
had shown signs OF life, and IL was the
general belief in the neighborhood
that the man was only in n trance. 1t
appears that the friends Of the de-
ceased have l,een waiting to see II tile
party in Spokane Falls, with wi ON
Beshears had deposited nearly 500,
would turn over the money SO that u
lot in the Cheney cemetery could be
purchased aud the deceased given u
decent burial. While waiting for this
unknown party to show his honesty
the body has been lyinl in cotfn,
and u party remained with 1t every
night. The watcher had his atteution
attracted to the lilo like appearance
Uf the corpse. and visitors also noticed
that the usual signs OF death were ab-
sent. II is d.cl red that the body has
changed from pale to pink, that the
limbs had lost their rigidity, th"S
when the cyelids were drawn up by
the fingers they would Immediately
close, that by slight rubbings the dis.
colorations so conspicuous irmedi-
ately after death had Disappeared, that
the body retained warmth, that u
vapor was left upon II glass held over
the mouth. All these things
were taken as evidence
Of life, and are considered good evil
dence by experts. Upon hearing the
rumor yesterday afternoon REVIEW
reporter accompani MED by DIR. Webb, ut
once drove out to White Bluff prairie
where the remains are ava ting inter
ment. The appearance OF the body
was such H. to give color to the reports
ia circulation. The man looked as
natural AS life. The tintof health was
ON the flesh while the finger nails cor,
responded in appearance with those ol
living beings. However, the fiesll was
cold aud retained an impression made
upon it. DR.. Webb had taken out Il
powerful battery, aud it WAS applied To
all parts cf the corpse without the
slightest impression. 1he doctor pro-
nounced the man dead beyond u doubt
and the burial will probably take place
to-day. Even in the face of the eyi
dence Of y coron,r's jury and this last
test there are many who have viewed
the remains that are not satisfied that
life is extinct. 1t is a very singular
case and one that has caused " 81

Ready for Work,

The concentrating works of the
Tyler and Stemwinder Mining Com
panies are now complete and every
thing is in readiness ut the mill for
.the commencement Of permanent OPP
erations. The building is most de-
sirably situated below Kellogg and is
TOXIC feet and 40 feet IN height.
Outside the building at the upper
story stands the ore bin with CA
pacity of $50 tons, furnished by the
tran,way which automatically dumps
the ore therein. The first piece of
machinery encountered in the interior
is Blake crusher with a capacity Of
five tons per hour; when the ore
leaves the crusher it runs into
the Cornish rolls, OF which
there are two sets beneath. They are
p inches i'm diameter and ID inches
face; one set is composed of chilled cast
iron and the other cast steel. From
tine rolls the ore is elevated into the
revolving screens, five in number, five
feet in length and three in diameter.
0pese screens most effectually separate
the ore to different degrees Of fineness,
vary ng in size from three-eighths of
an inch 20 fine sand. The ore treated
in four OF these screens is conveyed to
four jigs below, three of tho number
having doubl capacity, and the
finest material finds its way to the
Frue Vauners, which are located in
the lower story Of the mill. The engine
room is conveniently located on the
lower story, and contains " boiler of 10
horse power and an engine of GO horse
power. The nominal capacity OF
the mill is fifty tons per day averaging
the same by the month, but the actual
capacity would be Is tons every "a
hours. The water, of which there is
an unlimited supply, was first let ON
from the flume on Monday. The mill
is supplied with the latest and most
approved style of machinery for con-
centiating purposes known in this ad-
vanced age, aud 1t affords every facility
for the treatment of ore on the most
economical basis, warranting also the
closest saving of mineral. This ore is
handled but once during the opera
ton, and that is when il is shoveled
from the bin into the crusher. The de-
s gning of the works, the erec-
ton Of the building and plac.
ing Of the machinery was
done under the direction of Mr..
Louis L,coursier, a gentleman thor
oughly conversant with every branch
of his business. Every detail has been
faithfully watched and closely attend
ed to and the entire work reflects the
greatest credit on his skill and ability.
An experimental run Was made on
Tuesday with the most satisfactory re-
suits and as soon as the adjustment of
the tramw way is completed the new con-
centrating works will commence per-
manent operation. Mr.. Lacoursier re-
mains in charge Of the mill.-Ward-

The Beshears Case.

On hearing the rumors current on
Thursday to the effect that signs Of life
had appeared in the corpse of Beshears
q reporter interviewed the coroner in
regard to the matter. DR.. Penfield
secuted the idea that the man was not
dead when examined by the coroner
jury. When he first saw the body is
was rigid, SO rigid that when he att
tempted to bend the arm he had to
bear all his weight on it. Rigidity is
always u sure sign of death. In re-
gard to the rumors of signs of life, he
said that they probably originated
from the ignorance and superstition OF
the neighbors. In the srdinary course
of nature the corpse would gradually
lose it's rigidity and become flexible,
this probably was the first symptom
which startled the watchers and caused
them to think that life had returned.
Then too the deceased was taken of
suddenly IN the flush OF health, and in
consequence his features were not
emaciated, and the slight sun brown
on his face relieved the pallidncss Of
death. Having once come to the con-
clusion that the corpse was a corpse
no longer, i. was very natural that ig-
norant and rather superstitious per-
sons should imagine other signs Of
life, such as warmth and a futtering
of the heart. There was no doubt that
the man was dead when 6rst
found.

Gil was held lust evening, NJ yor ray
lor i'm the ch,ir. Presrnt-Deuber'
johnson, Clough, Dean. Dennis ana
Bishop. The mayor stated that tie
object Of the meeting was to further
consider the matter Of allowing Ben
Norman to place certain frame build
inys within the fire limits.
Lawyer yGraves, in behalf OF MI
Norman, addressed the council. lie
stat, d that come members seemed to
fear that they mad no power 70 ALLOW
the placing tt the buildings upon the
prouosed locations. He did not appre'
hend that they had any ground tor
such fear. Indeed his client was will
ing to give bond agreeing TO assume
the responsibility Of the mat er. He
then proceed to discuss the case, argu-
ing that Mr.. Norman was in excep
| tiUnul circumstances, which called Or
some allowance. 1t was only just that
such allowance should be made, Then,
in y legal point Of view, the council
had no right to forbid II man to move u
building from one part Of the fire Inn
it's to another, because that power Is
not delegated to the city in its charter.
MIR. Norman made the contract lor
moving the buildings, and actually
started the work The day b fore the tire
limits ordinance went into effect, anu
therefore the law could not apply To
his case.
Lawyer Davies then made n
speech in behalf OF the pro-
perty owners, replying 10
the arguments Of Graves. aud urging
that the council had the right and
ought to prohibit the locating Of the
bn:lding within the fire limits.
Giaves spoke again, stating that Mr..
Norman was willing to forego he
permission granted him to move The
other buildings Of the Berg block.
Mickle then addressed the council to
the effect that in his opinion they had
no right to grant Norman's request ex-
cept by ordinance.
Judge Houghton then stated that
all Norman desired was permission to
move the buildings upon his lots. He
would run the rick of being prosecuted
but did not wish to resist the officers.
He made IL strong address in behalf
of his client TO which Mr.. Mickle re
piled.
Mr.. Clough offered the following
resolution: That il is the sense OF
this council that Mr.. b. Norman has
II vested right to place his building on
the property named, in his petition
January 4, 1883. which was then
granted by this council.
Dennis said that lie was opposed to
the resolution. 1t seemed to him that
all that wiis needed was to issue an
order to Norman to remove the build
ing from the street without designating
where it was to be placed.
The resolution was then put and
lost, Denber, Johnson, Dean and
Dennis voting no. Clough and Bishop
aye.
Moved by Dennis that an order be
issued to Mr.. Norman to remove his
building from ITS present site on
Sprague street. Carried.
Moved by Deuber that Norman be
granted the privilege of the streets for
moving his building for space OF ten
days. Carried.
