was a prayer of gratitude.
Lifting her face to begin the work before
her, she l~nstinctlvely turned her eyes to
the world of waters below. 1t was alive
with boats! And such a shout went up
from the thousands of people far, far below
on the decks of these various craft.
All night she had been missed. All night
men had searched about the entire accessi-
BILE portions of the rock. For the girl was
well known; was not only widely known,
but was we'll known. and she was univer-
sally respected, if not entirely loved.
They had only this moment discovered
her. But when the shout died away and
men looked, and looked again, they grew
white with pity and with dismay.
Some of the boats drew In close to the
island, as if to try to reach her; others stood
further out to sea, as If to survey the pos
sible chances of her escape; the other boats
drew on around the island, as if to see what
hope lay from the other side.
The girls heart swelled with gratitude.
And vet she was greatly vexed with herself
that she should have been the cause of so
much care. This made her very resolved to

The Earthquake Wreck.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Jan. 16.-Late adj
vices from Costa RIGA, regarding the
earthquake of December 3Oth, last
mentioned in the cable dispatches a
short time ago, say the shocks were
the most severe experienced since
1882. In San Jose both the national
capital and the magnificent cathe-
dral fronting the public square,
which required ten years of
labor to erect it, at an expenditure of
81, 900, 900, are in the ruins. The pres
iden tial palace, city hall, National
postoffice, and a dozen other public
buildings were almost wrecked. Ad-
vices from the surrounding cities re-
port the shock even more severe,
and bringing accounts of loss both to
life and properties. The latest esti-
mate of the damage throughout the
county exceeds $4,000 900. The Poas
volcano has suddenly become active.
1t is located % miles northwest of
this place, at an altitude of $50 feet
for years, and only a couple of weeks
before the earthquake, party of ex-
plOrers, after visit there, reported
the crater entirely filled up.
Now it has broken out with
all it's old fury and in another place
half mile distant from the original
mouth. An average of three slight
shocks were felt daily for several days
after the first. Business during that
time was lost, entirely suspended, and
the majority of the people camped in
San Jose in the public squares, fearing
their houses would fall.

respect was intended to be shown
towards the court by the article,
therefore he would not punish Mr..
O'Brien. He added, however, that in
future, cases of a similar nature
would be more severely treated.

ARCHITECT VS. CONTRACTOR.
The Formers Plans are Not APP
proved of by the Latter'S
PhySiOQnomy.

Last night well known architect
and a contractor met in Bosshardt's
saloon and the contractor made a
detrimental assertion, publicly, Of the
architect. That gentleman, who is a
Turner" went up to him, and asked
if he meant it; the con tractor said he
did, and then the architect seized him
by the throat, pulled him out of the
chair. threw him down, and began
punching him. Friends interfered,
separated the combatants, and
each went their separate way.
Later on they met'in Scholz's saloon,
the contractor again villified the
architect and the latter told him to
''shut up or he would whip" but the
contractor would not. The architect
left, but waited outside for the con-
tractor. After waiting nearly one
hour the contractor came out and the
architect demanded that he either
withdraw or apologize for his remarks
using some very strong incentive lam
guage for a fight. The contractor
would neither withdraw, apologize,
or fight, but he retorted i'm similar lam
guage. Then the architect jumped on
the contractor, and before any one
would interfere he made an al fresco
decoration on the contractors face.
There was no policeman present, but
somehow or other the officer managed
to catch on and arrested the fighters.
The recorder gave the architect So
fine as a reward for his decorative

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

About two thousand spectators
were present yesterday at the inaugu-
ration ceremonies. Senator Mcdonald,
Speaker Alexander of the house occu-
pied the speakers stand, and Alex
ander stated the object of the joint
session then being held. Secretary
Boynton called the roll of the senate
and Chief Clerk Imboden the roll of
the house. The report of the joint
committee was read and adopted.
The governor and lieutenant governor
entered and were escorted to the
speakers stand, took their seats on
the platform and received the oath of
office at the hands of Judge Kitrell.
In the senate the bill Regulating the
carrying of small arms was made the
order for this morning. Senate bill
No. II, on the same subject, reported
favorably before the committee, pro-
vides both fine and Imprisonment for
carrying weapons either in churches
or public assemblies. ID was dis
cussed at length and ordered en-
crossed. Among the bills and reso-
lutions presented and reported favor
ably were-for dlgesting and publish
ing the laws of Texas. for treasurer
holding state school fund as special
deposit, prevention of unjust rates
by railroad companies. Adjourned
to attend Inauguration ceremonies.
In the House, Brown of GraysOn,
introduced r. r. commission bill,

eXtOrtion; forbidding Determinations

The condition in which South street
has been left by the street gang is
disgrace to this city. The mud was
scraped up into great piles several
days since and there left. These piles
are close to the sidewalks, in front of
gates, and grocers, vegetable.women,
butchers and milkmen are obliged to
ring their bells two doors away, and
the housekeepers have to make a pill
grimage in the wet and mud half a
block at times before they can reach
the delivery wagons. What little
surface drainage the lay of the land
afforded has been effectual-
ly cut off by those mud heaps which
act as dams, combining the water and
covering the street with great pud-
dies. The LIGHT does not know who
is responsible for this condition of the
street, but it is a burning disgrace to
the municipal authorities and a per-
feet imposition upon the taxpayers.
Curses both loud and deep have been
heaped upon the city dads on account
Of this nuisance and it should be
abated at once.

Representative Men.

We have often heard the remark
by men of both parties, that the
late constitutional convention was
the creation of clique of office
seekers, and that the same disrep-
utable element composed the per-
sonnet of the convention. However
the first statement may be, the last
is manifestly false and absurd. On
behalf of the Democracy there ap-
peared at this Convention such men
as Gee. Ainslie, A. E. Mayhem, J..
w. Reid, J. w. Poe, I. N. Coston,
.Chas. A. Clark, Frank Cavanah,
J. l. Crutcher, L. Vineyard, etc.
On behalf of the Republicans were
w. Fl. Claggett, John S. Gray, Jas.
H. Beatty, G. M. Hays, w. J. Nc
Connell, Sol. Hasbrouck, etc. To
say that these men were there to
deceive the people or in the inter-
ests of an offiee-seeking clique is a
SANDER against the best brains in
Idaho. These men controlled the
convention and the document sent
forth to the people is largely their
work.

"STRANGE ACTION"

Under the above caption. the
sagacious parliamentarian who pre-
sides over the editorial columns of
the Idaho Statesman, delivers him
self of the following in the issue of
the 9th inst:
Yesterday, for the first time in
political history, four men stood up
in constitutional convention and
voted to reject one-half the repre-
sentation proffered their county in
the State Senate.
The Article on Legislative APP
portionment came up for action.
The Article provides that Ada
county shall have two Senators.
By population and taxable prop
erty we are well entitled to this rep
resentation in the upper house.
There is no reason, unless of a
merely partisan character, why
Ada should be robbed of one of
these Senators. Yet, yesterday,
when a motion was made in the
Convention to restrict Ada county
to one Senator in the first session
of the new Legislature, every one of
the four democratic delegates from
Ada county voted for that motion"
If the sagacious parliamentar-
ian above referred to knows
anything he knows that the state
ment made in this last SEN
tence is untrue. If he does not it
is a sad reflection on his "ten years
experience in the U. S. Senate"
Now as to facts:
The Apportionment report was
under consideration. A substitute
giving each county one Senator in
the first State legislature was offer
ed for Section ] of the report. On
q motion to table the substitute the
four democratic members from
