A LUCKY LABORER,
While at His Working, Turns Up .
Stack of Bank Notes.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. "a day laborer
named Devault made lucky find last Satur-
lay. He was helping to grade Lincoln park,
just below Red Bank, N. j., when his shovel
suddenly threw up stack of bank notes to
the amount of $4,000. All the notes had
been issued by the Concord bank Of New
Hampshire many years ago, and alongside Of
them were unearthed sixteen plates that had
evidently also been the banks property. 1t
is believed the money was buried by man
named Sherman, who lived in that neighbor-
hood some years ago and was famous bank
robber. He was drowned through steam
boat collision about twenty-five years ago.
Lincoln park has been recently purchased
by Robert S. Patterson and other prominent
Philadelphians who constitute the Lincoln
Park association, and it is said that they will
claim the money as their own.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.
HOW THE NEW STATES ELECTIONS
WILL AFFECT ITS COMPLEXION.
Indications Point to Very Small Mar
gin In Favor of the Republicans-The
Basis of Calculation.

BASIS OF CALCULATIONS
| WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The private dis
patches received here indicate strong prob
ability that Montana, as well as the other
new states has gone Republican, and that the
legislature is Republican on joint ballot If
this is so, since South Dakota sends two rep
resentatives, there will be five members to
add to the Republican side of the house Of
representatives and eight senators. What
ever the returns may finally show, and one
can readily determine the complexion of the
next house by remembering that the clerks
roll, as it now stands without the new states,
is 164 Republicans and l6l Democrats. The
total number of representatives to be added
from the new states being five, the next
house will consist of $50 members. OF this
quorum is 166. II Montana has gone Re-
publican the house will stand 1869 Republi-
caus to 161 Democrats being majority of
eight, but only three more than quorum.
This is the most that the Republicans can
possibly have upon the organization. If the
returns finally show that Montana has gon,
Democratic the house will stand l6S Repub-
icans and 1862 Democrats, a majority Of g,
but only two over quorum. If the Repub-
licans carry all of the new districts they can
never transact business if they have more
than three absent, il any Democrat chooses
to make the point of no quorum. If Montana
goes Democratic they must have all but two
of their number continuously present in
order to do business in the face of an objec-
tion.
Without the new states the senate stands
80 Republicans 81 Democrats; with the four
new states Republican, as now seems likely,
that body will be composed of Al Republi-
cans and 81 Democrats, majority of 10;
with Montana Democra tic in the legislature
the Republicans would have As in the senate
and the Democrats 80, majority OF g.
The number of electoral votes added by
the admission of the new states will be 13;
that il, four from South Dakota and three
for the other three states In this connection
1t becomes interesting to examine the table
of electoral votes cast ID certain Democratic
etstss which might be balanced On overcome
