Bowen's Good Fortune,

From the Denver Lepubrcan.
Ex-senator Thomas NJ. Bowen re-
ceivcd returns from the two cars of ore he
brought up from his Golconda property
yesterday. A Republican reporter tried
TO learn the particular sum in which the
check was written, but the Senator waived
the question as something entirely too
trifling to talk about
Aparticular friend of Mr.. Bowen's was
found, however, and from this gentleman
it was learned that the Golconda was liable
to make as great a reputation for itself as
did the San Juan Consolidated in lSsl. At
that time the Little Ida, one of the group
sent to market two cars of ore that Noted
the Senator more than 100000. The Col
conda is on the same mountain, and many
believe on the same vein as the Little Ida
II, as is rumored, it has disclosed n pocket
of rich orc, it will be great thing for Del
Norte as well as for the ex-senator.
The Summit district in which the Col
conda group is located has been neglected
Of late years. 1t contains thousands upon
thousands Of tons OF low grade quartz
which with careful treatment, should re-
turn ut least . small profit, but the regior
is not only isolated but short seasons are
the rule. However, there is big pay on
the mountain for q company with capital
and some day 1t will quite likely be heard

Cheap Telegraph Rates.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE deci-
sion Of the Postmaster General relative TO
rates TO bc paid the Western Union Tele-
graph Company by tho Government for the
fiscal year, which begins July last, will
attract public attention very strongly to
the fact that there is . law in existence
which gives to the United States Govern
ment most extraordinary powers with re-
spect TO contracts Of telegraph service for
the country, and Postmaster General
Wsnamaker has construed his authority
under the act No moro sweeping power
could be given tho general government by
any law which the most enthusiastic ad-
vocate Of postal telegraph system could
desire.
Tho Postmaster General mas declared
that the rate which the Government shall
pay the Western Union Telegraph Company
Tor the service for the fiscal year which
will end June 80, 1890, will be one mill per
word. This IL 70 be uniform rate and il

Special to the Denver News.
CHEYENNE. Wyo., July g. The
election for delegates to the convention to
form constitution for the proposed State
of Wyoming was held throughout the Ter
ritory today. There was general desire
in both parties to relieve the election en-
tircly of its partisan features. The cleo
ton was regarded as an event in which
politics had no direct or immediate connec.
ton. The main desire was to secure good
constitution, and as the best way of secur-
ing it the election Of good men was con.
sidered necessary. The non partisanship
idea prevailed generally throughout the
Territory. Although there were contests
made in three counties, there were in
neither county either overwhelmingly Re
publican or overwhelmingly Democratic.
The only fight, therefore, in most of the
counties was at the nominating convention,
where good representative citizens were
almost invariably put in the field. The
vote in the Territory, but particularly in
the counties where fusion tickets were in
the field, was extremely light, the people
generally being very well satisfied with
the work of the nominating conventions
In cases of fusion, as in this county, the
apportionment between the two parties
was made on the basis of the vote cast at
the last election for delegates in Congress.
There will be Republican majority in the
convention

European War Cloud.

Sew YORK July IA London cable
To the Times says:
There has been a strange .and almost
sinister silence during the week on the con-
tinent which recently was so disturbed by
evil dreams and throbbings Of the war
drum.
Young Emperor William is alone with
his thoughts on the gloomy stiffness Of the
Norwegian fords and glacial palisades, and
to the tenor Of these thoughts we have NO
signs.
The Gear, too, is away with his wife and
family in an equally close seclusion trying
to realize that he is human being after
all, instead of a fly on the driving. wheel in
the enormous and terrible mechanism of
the Russian Government.
But the forces which ceaselessly weave
and spin underneath these figureheads are
not resting. German officials are doggedly
keeping alive the quarrel forced upon little
Switzerland with view to preserving a
prctext for hurting an army corps across
the Jura Pass when war comes. The Rus
sian officers arc no longer deigning to dis
guise matters, but are swarming up the
Danube past the Roumanian towns into
Servia, and one party Of fifty actually
landed Wednesday st Braila and closely
inspected the Notifications the Rouman-
ians have built there.
The Servian authorizes have got hint to
dissemble their readiness to overthrow
the Obrenovitz dynasty, and accordingly
the boy king is once more being salaamed
to. But the work Of getting ready to dc
Russia's bidding goes on untiringly.
Here in London the diplomatists believe
in war more than they did when the scare
was at its highest ten days ago.
Perhaps the public man in Europe who
believes most firmly that great armed
crash is coming is the Pope. He got pri
vate news some days ago, some say from
Vienna, others from Warsaw, and still
others from a secret friend in the quirinal
at Rome, which threw the whole Vatican
into an immediate panic. Nobody except
the cardinals, who are sworn to secrecy,
know exactly what this news was, but it is
practically certain that it was a warning
that war is on the way.
1t is believed, too, that this hurriedly
summoned council discussed plan of re
moving the holy see at once from Rome
and indications point to Valencia as the
place of refuge most favorable. Nothing
more definite than this has come TO Hgh,
as yet, but Developments are likely to come
very aoon

RICHMOND. Va. July 1O.-Mrs. ex-
President John Tyler died at the Exchange
Hotel this evening from congcstive chills.
She had only been at the hotel since Sun.
day evening and was to have left on Mon.
day to visit son on tho James River. On
Tuesday forenoon she was taken with CON
gcstive chills. Medical skill proved Of no
avail and she died at 5:15 this evening.
Mrs. Tyler leaves four children. Lucien
G. Tyler, president Of William and Mary's
College, Virginia; Gardner G. Tyler. who
lives in Charles City County, Virginia;
DR.. Rocklan Tyler Of Washington City and
Mrs. William Ellis of Montgomery County
Julia Gardiner, second wife of John Tyler
tenth President of the United States, was
born on Gardeners Island near East Hamp
ton, N. Y, in 1870. She was educated at
Glegary Institute, New York City, and
after short time spent in travel through
Europe she came TO Washington with her
father in 1S49. A few weeks after their
arrival they accepted an invitation from
President Tyler to attend pleasure
excursion down the river on the war
steamer Princeton. The festivities on this
occasion were sadly marred by the explo-
sion Of gun on the vessel, causing loss Of
life. Among those killed was Miss Gardi-
ner's father. His body was taken to the
White House and Miss Gardiner was
thrown great deal into the society Of the
President, owing to the peculiar circum-
stances Of her fathers death. President
Tyler's first wife had died shortly after he
entered the White House and he paid Miss
Gardiner marked attention, which resulted
in their marriage in New York City, June
%, 1874.
For the succeeding eight months of Pres
ident Tyler's term she presided over the
White House with tact, grace and dignity.
After March 4, 1s45, Mrs. Tyler retired
with her husband to the seclusion of their
country place, Sherwood Forest" on the
banks Of the James River in Virginia. She
remained in Virginia until after the civil
war, her husband having died about the
beginning Of the strife, and then went to
reside at her mothers residence on Castle
ton Hill, Staten Island. After several
years residence there she removed to
Richmond, Virginia, where she died. Mrs
TYLER was Roman Catholic in religion.

an hour. When the man was first seen the
engineer, W. G. Fortune, blew the whistle
three times for "down brakes" Kisner
being very deaf, paid no attention to it.
Joseph Casey, brakeman, supposed the
man would step of the track before the
train reached him, but as they drew closer
and closer, and he did not look around nor
step aside, Casey threw a stone at him, to
attract his attention. By this time the train
was upon him, and Casey reached forward
and attempted to throw him off the track,
but Mr.. Kisner's feet caught in the rail and
drew him back under the cars. Eleven

of people who cannot come to
the store, and possibly never
will come. But it goes on all

So far as telegraphic communication from
Bloomsburg to the outer world is conceIn-
ed, there seems to be none of it. During
the high water, and the damage to the
b. & S. X. r., no dispatches were sent by
anybody from Bloomsbury. When II man
hanged himself here last Sunday, the dis
patch announcing it was sent from Wilkes
Barre No one has taken the trouble to
report any of our idustrial movements.
Nothing of public interest here seems to
be sent to the daily papers Whether this
is the fault of the dailies, which have not
made arrangements to get news from here,
or a lack of enterprise in our people in not
letting the world know what we are doing
here, we do not pretend to say, but we do
say that Bloomsburg is a town of nearly
5000 inhabitants, and that 1t is rapidly
forging to the front, and is destined to be d
great manufacturing centre, and the evil
dences of our progress as they occur oughI
to be made known 10 the daily city papers
as the doings of other less important towns
