became democrat years ago, and during

who had evidently been murdered, in the

dreds of people have viewed the body, but
no clue to her identity has been rs-

was not accustomed to work. Nothing
was found in the pockets but fine white
handkerchief delicately scented. The
skull was crushed, and marks on the throat
show she was choked to death.

The Figh. ON Judge Brewer.

Washington, ID. c., December 18.-Thers
was a long and Lively fight in the senate
yesterday over the nomination of Judge
Brewer. Senator Wilson of Iowa, republi.
can, and Senator Call Of Florida, democrat
led the fight Mr.. Wilson urged that
Judge Brewers decision in the
Kansas prohibition cases was evi
dence of his uEftness for the
position of associate justice of the supreme
court, and he also opposed him on the
ground that he was a corporation man.
In support of this argument he cited Judge
Brewers action in the matter of the Wa
bash and Missouri Pacific receiverships.
Senator Ingalls, was the only Kansan
present during the executive session,
Senator Plumb being absent in
New York. Tie matter vent over
until tomorrow. Senator Plumb Is
expected back in the morning. Col. Albert
Griffin, who has been working up the op-
position in behalf of the prohibitionists,
is still here to-day. Each Senator was
supplied with copy of the Voice, the
national organ of the prohibition party,
a bitter editorial attack on
Judge Brewer. 1t is believed that the
will be confirmed tomorrow.

1t was a man from Mexico, Mo.
who registered at one of our frst-class
hotels, and who had with him his wife,
but registered in rather peculiar way
for man and wife. For instance
The man registered John White,
Mexico, Mo. Susan White, Mexico,
Mo. The result was that they were
consigned 10 different rooms, and when
it was apparent to the husband that
they were to have separate rooms,
there was grand kick made. Upon
a satisfactory explanation, however,
on the part of the stranger, the two
were allowed to occupy the same
room. 1t turned out to be newly
married couple, who were on their
way to Sedalia, and had just two hours
to remain here before the Sedalia
train took Its departure. Was it ex.
actly right for the hotel clerk to "ring
the chestnut bell" on a man coming
from Mexico anyway? The people
generally from that section are con-
sidered honest and Industrious. The
hotel clerk is highly commended for
strictly to his own business,
but Mr.. White thinks he ought to be
indicted by the next grand jury.

Political Opponents Sur
yiYe Him.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The death and
burial of Jefferson Da7is brings to mind
some interesting facts concerning some of
the men who were prominent with him in
making the political history of his day.
When President Lincoln convened con-
gress in extra session in July. 1861, forty
five of Mr.. Davis late colleagues in the
United States senate answered to the roll
call. They were:

Oregon-James w. Nesmith.
Minnesots-Morton s. Wilkinson.
California-Milton 8. Latham, James

Of these but one is still in public life
Senator John Sherman of Ohio. OF the
others, James NJ. ::Doelittle of Wisconsin
and Lyman Trumbull remain. Both were
republicans at that time, but both after
ward saw the error of their ways and
joined the democratic party. III there are
others they have long since passed into
peaceful obscurity. Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet
atithat time included William III. Seward,
Salmon p. Chase, Gideon Wells, Simon |
Cameron, Montgomery Blair AMI Edward |
Bates. Senator Simon Cameron, the last |
of these, died last summer, and the only |
representative of the administration living |
to-day is the Hon. Hannibal Bamlin of |
Maine, ex-Vice- President. Two members
of the Cabinet died democrats, Montgom-
cry Blair and Salmon p. Chase, though |
the latter's conversion is frequently denied. ]
The best known republicans in the
house of that session were Schuyler Colfsx,
Elihu Washburn, Thaddeus Stevens, Ros- !,
coe Conkling, John A. Bingham, Owen
Lovejoy, Arson Burlingame and James

28x4O and cost about 81, 600. Rev.
w. II. Brook, one of its former pas
tors, laid the foundation and set up
the frame. Rev. S. A. Lewis finished
it all to pIastering and pews, which
have been done by Rev. NJ. w.
Clair, the present pastor. The pull
pit and altar are beautifully carpet
ed, also the aisle. The good white
people of Smithfield deserve great
credit for valuable help in erecting
this church. They were there to see
it dedicated, and many thanks to
them. The '.old church, is making
rapid progress and her sons and
daughters are singing g Chaplain 50

From the Shepherdstown Register

Capt. j. X. Calder, conductor on
the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, has
gone to San Francisco, CAL, to attend
the session of the Old Reliable Con-
ductor's Insurance Association, of
which he is a member.
Mr.. VIM. n. Staley and carpenter
named Myers, who is helping him to
build his new house, went to the fish
pot below town on Tuesday night to
try their luck catching cells. While
they were waiting for the cells to run,
they amused themselves by examin-
ing self-cocking bulldog revolver.
All the cartridges were taken out,
they thought, so they weren't very
particular how they handled it. Mr..
StaleY couldn't make the revolver
work right, somehow, so Mr.. Myers
took it. 1t worked all right for him,
for it went off and sent bullet
through the calf of Mr.. Staley's leg.
Mr.. Staley was hauled home and the
doctors called in, who ascert;ined
that the wound was slight one, and
not likely to give much trouble.
