PURSUANT SON RUSSELL.

II any lingering doubts exist as to the
power behind the throne in the present
administration, let the doubters digest
and assimilate the following, which is
from the Washington Capital" Of the
18th:
The ribald and irreverent presume to say
that this administration is conducted by
Father.in-Law Scott and Son Russell.
The following would show the truth OF that
allegation as to the latter. A veteran
with a splendid military record applied to
Secretary Blaine for appointment to a GER
tain ~consulship. The astute and level
headed secretary admitted the claim OF his
applicant at once, and made out his com.
mission. When the commission was pre-
sented to the President for signature he
raw the eminent fitness OF the a%ppointee,
and promptly appended his sign manual.
While the commission was stillin the hands
ofethe President, and Mr.. Blaine was yet
talking with him, Russell Harrison entered
the library, and, upon noting the place
which had been disposed Of, said it never
could be given to that person as he had
promised it to a class-mate, and his promise
could not be recalled. The President, I am
told, then drew a pen through his sigma
ture.
s. In the light of this and similar ex-
periences, the country has some grounds
for believing the oft-told rumor of
Blaine's disaffection, and of possible
ruptures in the cabinet.
Perhaps, after all, Negley was right.

QUEER FIND OF HONEY.
The Labor of a Swarm of Bees Hidden in
an Elm Tree for Fifty Years.

The Labor of a Swarm of Bees Hidden in
an Elm Tree for Fifty Years.
A remarkable discovery has been made
at the Cathays Yard of the Taffvale Rail-
way company, says the Glasgow Herald
A large elm tree, grown in Worcestershire,
was being cut up into timber, when, right
in the very heart, a cavity measuring eight
feet seven and a half inches in diameter
was discovered almost completely filled
with the comb OF the honey bee, together
with a squirrels skull.
No means Of access to the hollow was dis
c%overable, neither was decay anywhere ap-
parent, and around the cavity itself no
less than fifty ''rings' were counted, the
outer, being, too, without a flaw. The
hollow was OF uniform size throughout,
and presented the appearance OF having
been bored with al anger, and. great
though its dimensions were, it was practi-
cally filed with the comb, proving mat the
bees must have been in possession for
several years. Empty combs of the queen
bee also showed that they had swarmed.
How the bees got there can only be
guessed, but it is surmised that a squirrel
once occupied q decayed hole in the tree,
cleared away the decay, occupied the cav
ity as it's home. and there died. Then the
bees entered into possession and filed the
hole with comb. when by some means the
entrance, which must nave been small, be-
came stopped, the large quantity of grub
and fly being taken as demonstrative that
the nest had not been voluntarily deserted.
Then for fifty years the growth OF the tim
Der went on. The entrance being absolute
~ o~bliterated, and the hole being bermetic-
ally sealed, the comb vas preserved from
decay for half a century, to be found at
last in the way described. The find is OF
great interest to naturalists,

The Circus.

Farini & McMahon's circus, which arrived
Saturday morning and gave an exhibition
in the afternoon and eveng, is all that was
claimed for it. The show is not adver-
tised as a lefty of canvass" but simply as
a circus, and a good one, and it is both.
Unlike other ~circuses it's advent is not
heralded by a long line of wagons parading
the STREETS, for it is not a "wagon show"
all q great many of its competitors are.
The acts performed are first-class and new,
and the riding and acrobatic performances
first rate. Some startling feats of horse
manship are introduced by Mcmahon, his
cowboy act" being especially good. At
both performances a large crowd was pres
emit. A performance this afternoon and one
this evening will close the shows stay in

The Color Line Disregarded,

Judge NeHkirk was called upon yester-
day evening to unravel a case more than
ordinarily knotty. The complainant was
a white woman known as Maggie Smith,
aud the defendant a "coon," named J. R.
Burton, and blacker than a Democratic
office holder was ever painted by a Repub-
lican stump speaker. The charge against
him was attempt to kill. The oma
claims to be a widow, and to brighten her
hours OF loneliness took a gentleman OF
color to her home and bosom. 1t so hap
pens that he has been out OF town for
some days, and having acquired a fond.
ness for Ethiopian society, the woman
asked Burton to fill the position OF her
absent companion. Burton was willing
to be breveted, and accepted the invita-
ton. Something, however, arose which
caused the woman to relent, and size Or
dered Burton to leave. He would not,
and she declared she would not stand it
any longer, and reaching under her pillow,
pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot
him. He attempted to disarm her, and
in the scuffie the gun went off, narrowly
missing the woman. For this she ha6 him
arrested. After hearing tho testimony
Judge Newkirk discharged the defendant
with a little wholesome advice about in.
vading the homes OF other men.

A New Quartz Excitement.

From the Bozenan Courier: When
the Pass creek excitement was at it's
height County Clerk brennan was informed
by Victor E. Tull that Drennau's prospec.
tors had found the main lead and filed q
location for him. A day or two later the
prospectors returned and said there was
nothing at Pass creek and they did not
think it worth while to put
in any more time at such a
place. brennan, to get even with
Tull, showed him a piece of gold that had
had come out of tooth, saying that it
was a specimen OF gold in place, found near
Spring Hill. The result was wholly unex-
pected by Mr.. brennan. Mr.. Tull has been
prospecting the hills near Spring Hill for
several days and reports the discovery of
vein OF collaborating quartz fifteen feet in
width. And the best part of the joke is
that the prospectors MID rennan sent to
Pass creek have been carried away by the
Spring Hill excitement and have no doubt
ere this located valuable gold-bearinslo des.

"ENGL1sH AS SHE Is WROTE"

@S O"A 40
That constantly self-advertised purist,
the New York "Sun," said the other day:
"Thiugs look finely up in New Hampshire"
Whereupon the Boston "Globe" at the
hub OF culture says it would be more cor
rect to say
"Things look fine up in New Hampshire"
Out here in the wild and woody West
things don't look, they have appearances.
Thus it would be proper to say: Fittings
have a fine appearance up in New Hamp-
shire. "-[Omaha Herald.
To eliminate all figures Of speech, the
evident object of the controversy, fine"
is scarcely permissible. The etymolo-
gists declare that while fine has become
a term of very extreme application, be-
ing applied to numerous objects, great
and small, in its original sense it is op-
posed to coarse, denoting something thin,
minute, delicate, or slender. Thus it
will be seen that its use in the sense of
handsome, exquisite, nice, beautiful,
snowy or splendid is warranted only by
a sort of literary license, potential
through custom.
And then why say "up" in New lamp
shire. If there is any "up" or down" in
the case, New Hampshire would be lower
than New York or even Omaha, allowing
the poles to be more depressed than the
equator.
So the expression, correctly put, would
read thus: Things appear beautiful in
New Hampshire.
But shorn of all extraneous and ampli-
plying terms, the expression alone ap-
pears in a dim, uncertain light. 1t might
be inferred that only in New Hampshire
do things appear beautiful; or, that al
ways do things appear beautiful in New
Hampshire, whereas the idea sought to
be conveyed by the "Sun" is that, just
now, nature has arrayed the Granite
State in exquisite attire.
The whole lessoa to be learned is that
language, after all, is simply a means of
communicating ideas; that the slang of
to-day may become the classic of to-mor-
row, and that he who uses the words
which best convey his ideas, speaks near
est to the point and is best understood.
One should use words as he would NOR
als-by going forward instead of back
ward, by doing the best one knows.
Every persons ideal is better than ones
self; he should, therefore, strive to emu
late the ideal.

MIR. HARRIsON's SOUTHERN POLICY

MIR. HARRIsON'S SOUTHERN POLICY
The policy of President Harrison to-

ent and approved as "a winner" by
several Republican organs, is simply a
revival of Hayesism with added energy
and a ripper opportunity.
President Harrison aims to dissolve the
solid South rather than to break it. His
solvent is to be applied in the shape OF
two enormous bribes-a $60,OOO,0OO ap-
preparation for the schools of that Sec
ton and a fat share in the tariff bOun-
ties for its mine and forest owners and
manufacturers.
knowing that the old policy Of negro

cold blooded calculation which charac-

proposes to leave the colored peO-
pie to do as they did during the
administrations of Hayes aid Arthur,
and as they have on the whole done very
creditably eve since-namely, to shift
for themselves. The Offices at the South
are to be given, almost entirely, either
to respectable" white Republicans, or
where such cannot be found, to "PrO-
lection Democrats" The negroes are to

THE TESTIMONY IN.
Fitzpatrick's Case viii be Argued and
Submitted This Morning.

=EEF EaaEs
After exhausting the regular panel and
two special v~enires, n for fifty and the
other for twenty jurors, a jury was finally
obtained to try William Fitzpatrick, &C.
cused OF the murder or William Healy, in
Telegraph gulch. June 5. The men sworn
to try the case are: W. Fl. Roberts, D. 81.
Cohen, g. H Rogers, ]. A. Elliott. e. L.
Newell, T. B. Gardner, Joseph Case, VIM.
Goedelhoeifer, T. F. Courtnay, F. K. Viii.
SON, 81. McMurpby and J. F. Kelly.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning, the case
was begun and the same witnesses examined
before the coroner were called for the prose
cution and their testimony vas sub.
stantially the same rs was published at
the time the inquest was held. In the
afternoon Fitzpatrick was put on the
stand and testified in his own behalf. he
gave a clear account OF the affray and how
Il originated and said that it was not until
after Healy had struck him repeatedly and
had backed him into a corner where escape
WAS impossible. that he cut him. He said
Healy was choking him with the lest
hand, and striking him in the face with the
right, and almost strangled him, and that
while in that position he, Fitzpatrick,
called out two or three times to those on
the outside to come into the room and
take Healy off. They waited some time
before coming to his assistance, and he
used the knife, which he had in his hand
before the trouble began, having cut up
some tobacco with it. He said that he
was in the act of leaving the room when
Healy assaulted him and pushed him back
against the wall. When Healy struck and
pushed him, he testified, he warned him
to keep back, saying he would prosecute
him for assault. To this Healy replied,
'You prosecute and be ID, I'll knock
your old gray head of" and continued to
beat him.
While on the stand Fitzpatrick's de.
meanor was anything but that OF a bad or
desperate man. He appeared timid and
frightened, and it a only with the closest
and most persistent questioning by
his attorneys that he could be made to
tell his story. That he regrets his act no
one who has seer him can deny. Sorrow,
regret and fear are depicted on every Inca.
ment of his countenance, and frequently
his eyes suffused with tears, and he ap'
peared to choke.
At s o'clock all the testimony was in,
and court adjourned until this morning at
9 O'Clock, when arguments will be heard
and the case suhmitted to the iurY.

FATALITIES.AT A FIRE.
TERRIBLE SCENES AT a CONFLA-
GRAFTON IN BOSTON

A Building Filled with
suddenly Enveleped in Flames-Sev-
eral Lives Lost and Many Others
Injured-Heavy Loss of Property.
Boston, June X.-A disastrous fire, &C.
companied by serious loss OF life, occurred
this evening in the works OF the establish
ment of Heyer Brothers. Three dead
bodies have been taken from the ruins, n
three Others received injuries which will
probably result fatally. 1t is feared there
may be more victims among the debris.
Shortly after 5 O'Clock, while a salesman
was waiting on a customer upon the Sec
ond floor, he saw q flash among some ire
works behind one OF the counters. He ran
for water at the same time giving the
alarm.
The flames spread with almost incredible
rapidity, cutting off the escape OF several
of the men in the upper stories, and in i've
minutes the dense smoke and almost In
cessant discharge of fireworks OF different
kinds made in the building a perfect pande-
morium for those confined within its walls.
INCIDENTS OF FATALITIES.
Albert Gage. aged 20, who was employed
in the third story, hung from the window
until he was obliged to release his hold, and
then fell to the ground, breaking his back.
He will probably die.
Charles F. Callahan and Thos. Payne, who
were working on the fourth floor, jumped
from the window in their fright. Payne
was killed, while Galatians injuries are
fatal.
William Breene on the second floor, lost
his way and rolled down the stairs and was
picked up fatally injured.
Samuel Card was taken out dead.
Another body, that of o boy, has not
been identified.
This completes the list OF casualties, so
far as known at present.
A large proportion OF the $4,000 stock
is ruined, but is we'll insured.

have found out that they made a mistake
when they decided to become husband and
wife, at least the latter thinks she made a
most serious mistake and now asks the
kind interference of the district court to
help her out of her troubles. The dissatis-

a divorce from Thomas Il. Kent, and says
she wants it badly. Thomas defaulted to
the complaint and Judge Mediation has
been appointed referee to take testimony
