CHARLESTON, w, VA, May 22.-Jo-
seph Grifliths, who died on the 4th inst.
at Williamsburg, Grecnbrier county,
was probably one of the most eccentric
characters ever known in the State.
For over sixty years he had kept store
at Williamsburg and had amassed quite
IA fortune At his death over $4,000
in cash was found in his house, besides
which he owned several valuable tracts
of land, which would make his total for
tune SIS, 900. For many years he has
exhibited his pecuiaritieS in.many ways
one being in refusing to conform the
prices of his goods to modern prices.
His shelves were loaded with dusty
moulding and cobwebs covered goods,
for which he demanded the war time
prices, holding calicoes at 40 to 80 cents
yard, stogies at 10 cents each, etc. He
lived entirely apart from his neighbors,
and would permit no interference with
his way of doing business. He left sew
eral heirs in this State and in Oregon.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Speaker Reed
was forced to surrender TO the river and
harbor forces. He held out as long as
he deemed it expedient. He was con-
fronted not only by the Republicans of
the House, but also by party leaders of
the Senate. Some of them frankly in
formed Reed that his future political
career would be terminated should he
refuse an opportunity to consider the
river and harbor bill. They told him it
was question that rose above party
considerations and that the Republicans
could not afford to take the responsible

1t is understood that the bill will pass

Tho Ccitsus,

The albuquerque press says of Santa
Fe;
Citizen; 1.-THE collection OF houses
called Santa Fe is not Incorporated. 1t
has no metes and bounds. 1t includes
all outdoors, and claims 10000 popula-
ton"
Democrat "The malicious manipulation
OF the census figures by Santa Fe, so as to
make it appear that Albuquerque has
not half the population claimed tol
that ancient and tumble down pueblo,
has gone uncorrected long enough. 1t
is being copied into papers outside OF
the territory. The attention OF the
city council is called to this matter,
and it is suggested that is their duty to
see that the correct summary of the differ
ent precincts constituting Albuquerque in
her entirety shall be presented to the
world. We do not desire, like Santa Fe,
to take in all the people scattered within
the valley; nor, like Las Vegas, to count
all the adjacent towns to the distance OF
eight or ten miles but we do demand the
counting as citizens OF Albuquerque all
! those who live on streets continuous and
contiguous. If this be done in the case
of Albuquerque, and Las Vegas and Santa
Fe be confined to similar limits, any man
will be safe to bet his last dollar that Al.
buquerque has fully double the population
! of either of the Others"
