Notes.

The committee on county estimates had a
m citing IN room No. . ytst rday afternoon,
bur as the estimates of two county boards
were still wanting the committee adjourned
without ttansactlng any business
The BOoIhbay division contest before the
committee yesterday called out large audi

House of Representatives. When the wit

TO be, "a one representative expressed 1t. "a
small regiment of them" The indications
appear that the hearing despite the expressed
desire of the chairman, and doubtless the
other members of the com ittee for brevity
will be somewhat prolonged.
The committee on legal affairs voted that

EXCITEMENT AMONG FARMERS.

Boom in Burlington County, N. J., Land
 Owing to Discoveries of Clay.
 MOUNT HOLLY, Jan. 19.-The recent dis covery of a bed of valuable clay, such as is used in making crucibles and the like, on the Atkinson farm, between here and Burling ton, has caused boom in farm land such as was never dreamed of few weeks ago. The Atkinson farm quadrupled in value the day after the discovery of the clay, which is of fine quality, and forty feet in thickness in some places, and the Trenton pottery men say it is as good deposit as they have seen anywhere.
 Since then the neighboring farmers have been boring for clay in every direction, and are as much excited over it as if their farms were underlaid with gold The few who ridiculed the idea at first have also caught | the fever, and have men employed in pros pecting nearly every day. The stratum was again struck, about 200 yards north, on an adjoining farm, and if the excitement keeps 1 up it is safe to say there will be no crops raised in that section next summer. A com pany is now being formed to build pottery.

WHAT DOES THIS MEANT
John I. Da7enport's Sly Visit
 to Harrison.
EMINENT SOUTHERN VISITORS.

All Have Confidential Talks, but tho
 Watchers Are None tho wiser-Col.
 Buck Evidently Strikes a snag-Char-
 acteristics of the Coming "First Lady,"
 INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 19. - President-elect Harrison received visit yesterday from a very distinguished and mysterious New Yorker. He was a dapper, boyish looking person, and did not alight from the II o'clock train at the station, but jumped off at the crossing as the train entered it, carry ing nothing but a small sachel. He hastily entered the first carriage he came to, pulled down the curtains, and was driven hastily to to the residence of a well known politician and state official. Soon after 12 o'clock he drove to Gen. Harrison's and was closeted with the president-elect for over an hour.
 Nobody else was present and the confer ence took place an room where the visitor could not be seen by other callers.
 The mysterious visitor was none other than John l. Davenport, supervisor of elections in New York city.
 Col A. E. Buck, Mai R. D. Locke and Dr. c. w. Arnold, the Georgian promoters of the new south, had their interview with Gen. Harrison. Col. Buck went first, having been sent for by Gen. Harrison, and the con- versation-whatever it was-had the effect of making him return very serious and as dumb as an oyster about his cabinet pros poets. Perhaps Gen. Harrison suggested to that a recommendation signed by Senator Colquitt, Governor Gordon, Henry w. Grady and other Georgia Democrats was not just the kind of recommendation upon which a Republican could act
 Though Gen. Harrison and Col. Buck had pleasant and instructive talk, it was in re- gard to the southern question that Gen. Har- rison wrote to Col Buck to come and see him. After Col Bucks return Mai Locke and Dr. Arnold called upon Gen. Harrison, and gave him their views on the new south. Mrs. Harrison has from the very start de- termined that she would keep her part of the administration entirely clear from politics. Her invariable reply to the hundreds who who have written soliciting her influence for some appointment has been that she had nothing to do with politics or offices. So far as the social obligations imposed upon her by the official position of her husband are con cerned, they will be scrupulously fulfilled without regard to personal feeling. If she has any personal likes or dslikes they will be exercised outside of the range of her social duties.
 l One peculiar development of Mrs Harri sons independence of character Is dislike | to be copied after or made to set fashion ir dress or manners in spite of herself If she gets an idea that other women are wearing their hair in certain way or draping their skirts after a certainf fashion just because she does it, she gets provoked, and changes the style of her hair or her skirts at once. There will be no fashions set from the White House while she is there.

NEW JERSEY SENATORSHIP.

The Nomination of Republican Virtu-
 ally Left to the Democrats.
 TRENTON, Jan. 19.-The proposition that it was policy for the Republican caucus to make no senatorial nomination has gained great strength, and is likely to prevail.
 A free interchange of opinions among lead ing Republican members of the legislature shows that Sewell men as well as Phelps men recognize the folly of dividing the Republican half of the legislature on a mers question of compliment
 This allows Republicans in joint meeting to vote for Sewell or Halsey or Hobart, or any one except Phelps, who characteristically refuses to let his name be used. If, in the course of the balloting, any Democratic votes are cast for 8 Republican candidate all the Republican votes will be instantly massed and thrown for that candidate Such 6 course, it will be seen, gives the Republican voters a chance to concentrate immediately and without further consultation upon any Republican to whom the Democracy may give this chance of an election.

A Newspaper Man Saves Another, and Is
 Rewarded by a Fortune.
 ERADICATION, N. J., Jan. 19.-George Will jam Kirby, newspaper man we'll known throughout South Jersey, and later residing at Vineland, has received a nice little fortune from an old gentleman formerly of Wood bury, who recently died at Chicago.
 About six years ago MT. Kirby saved the life of the old gentleman, who had been at attacked by two highwaymen. Mir. Kirby was walking along the West Jersey railrood about midnight, when he heard cries of "Murder!" proceeding from the turnpike adjoining, between Woodbury and Vest vile. He ran over to the road, and seeing two men attacking third he seized a picket from the fence and struck one of the robbers, knocking him insensible to the ground, when the other took to his heels. Assisting the old man to his heels he returned with constable, to find the injured robber had escaped.

Terrible Experience of One of Their vic-
 tims-A Reign of Terror.
 SHAMoKIN, Pa., Jan. 19-Thomas Hague, of Coal Run, small mining village three niles east of this place, was whipped by White Caps Thursday night and thrown into a creek with a rope around his body and kept submerged until he was almost dead. Three miners on their way home from work ap- preached the spot where the outrage was being perpetrated and were compelled to stay on the scene until the White Caps executed their vengeance, the leader informing the miners that one of the band had noticed Hague early In the evening attempting to commit an as- sault on girl coming to Shamokin Great axcitement prevails in this place and Coal Township.
 Yesterday morning a number of town people received warnings to stop indulging in drunkenness, gamblinge, etc, or they would receive a visit from the White Caps.
 On the outskirts of Milton, the night be fore, two white men and negro were taken from their cabin, tied to trees, and received g terrible flashing from a number of masked men calling themselves White Caps.

A New Jersey Man Looking for His Share
 in n Pennsylvania Patent.
 LANCASTER, Pa, Jan. l9.-Brown & Hensel, attorneys for Lambert B. Boltin, of Newark, N J., have filed bill in equity against Henry Martin, of this city, manufact- urer of brick making machine that has found sales in every part of the civilized world and has made mint of money for its manufacturers. Baltin claims that on March i6, 1867, he sold to Martin for S1 rough model of a brick machine, with the under standing that Martin was to perfect it, se- cure patent at his own expense, and that for every improvement made by either they were to share equally in the profits. Baltin lost sight of Martin and supposed the ma chine amounted to nothing until recently, when he saw Martins advertisement in The Scientific American. He has caused a United States marshal to subpoena Martin to appear in the circuit court of the Upited States at the March term with a statement of the busi- ness and profits, and to show cause why Bat lin should not receive one-half the profits on all the machines manufactured and sold since

 PIrTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 19.-There are no new developments by the continued investi- gation of the Farmers and Mechanics bank failure. President Sorg states, however, that the amount of the embezzlement charged against ex-Cashier Voight-S14S 0O0-will be increased when the examination of the books is completed It is stated also that others outside of the bank will be found to have been implicated in its wreck. Ex-Cashier Voight was interviewed at the county jail, but would make no statement for publica- tion. He positively refused to admit or deny that he took any of the banks money. He said: "I have no money with which to employ counsel. l shall make O statement before the court at the time of my trial and let it go at that do not expect to get bail. was with the bank nineteen years, and helped to start that institution"

New Jersey Can't Have Them Now

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Inspector Byrnes told a reporter yesterday that while there was abundant evidence to convict the negro burglars, Taylor and Tilghman, of any num- Der of burglaries in New Jersey, there was also evidence equally clear and strong that they had being doing wholesale business in their line in this city. He said that they would not be sent to New Jersey until New York justice was done with them, and by that time they would be so we'll advanced in years that it would be hardly worth while to send them over there. In pursuance of this policy the inspector sent the rascals to the Essex Market Police Court yesterday after noon, where they were held in $1, 800 bail on each of three several charges of burglary, and the girl, Jennie Webster, was held in the same bail as receiver of stolen goods. They were locked up in default of bail
