BY the smile, which like a cloud when

Major Snider Dead. .

Major w. X. Snider, a prominent
Black Hills journalist, and late editor of
the Lead City Tribune, died of apoplexy
at Deadwood on Thursday, the 26th ult.
The deceased was born in Ohio in
1885, and came to the Hills in 1876,
since which time he has been employed
upon the editorial staff of the Times,
Pioneer, and other journals of the
Northern Hills. He was a writer of
rare ability and exceptional force, whose
name may fifty head the list of Black
Hills journalists. Over his unfortunate
weakness-his Unsuitable passion for
stimulants-let the veil of charity be
drawn; for it may be truly said of the
deceased, that he possessed many ad-
mirable traits of character, which strong
ly endeared him to all with whom he
came in contact. Concerning the cir
cumstances connected with his death,
the Deadwood Times says:
Christmas he came down from Lead,
well dressed, clean and looking to be in
splendid health. About midnight he
went into Ben Simpsons club room,
passed out at the back door and closed
it. Soon after friend went out to see
what had became of him, and found him
lying on the ground asleep. He was car
ried into the room, laid on the floor and
no further attention paid to him for
some time. When looked after il was
found that the vital spark had fed.
Major Snider had been gathered to his
fathers.
An inquest was held over the remains,
and several witnesses examined, all tes-
tifying as above. DIR. Babcock. who had
been his physician for years, examined
the body, and gave 1t as his opinion
that death resulted from apoplexy; and
80 the jury found.
Deceased leaves wife and two daugh-
ters with married sister, at Salem,
Ohio; son grown at Canton, Ohio,
who is an attorney-at-law and secretary
Of Tie board Of elections.

The Cumberland Rolling
Mills Leased.

The Baltimore and Ohio rolling
mills at Cumberland, which have
been lying idle nearly a year, have
finally been leased to the Cambria
Iron Company of Johnstown, Pa.
The Cambria people expect to take
charge April l, and will at once put
900 men to work in the manufacture
of steel. Great plans have been out
lined for tse new acquisition, which
will be valuable adjunct to the COM
pany's main works at Johnstown.
At the latter place it is said that 10, !
900 men are employed. The adyan-
tage of the lease to the Baltimore
and Ohio will be the money accruing
for rental and the increased revenue
to be derived from carrying freight
between Cumberland and Johnstown,
both of which places are situated
upon its lines.

Death of Mr.. TauIbee.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Ex-Con-
gresham William Preston Taulbee,
of Kentucky, who was shot in the
head by Charles E. Kincaid, the
correspondent of the Louisville
Times, at the east staircase on the
House wing of the Capitol on the
afternoon of Friday, February %,
died at 4.45 o'clock this morning at
Providence Hospital, whittier he had
been removed an hour or so after
the shooting. Mr.. Taulbee had been
unconscious for some time before
death came, and the end was painless.
He had been rapidly sinking since
last Saturday, and his death had
been expected at any time since that
night. Yesterday he grew so much
worse that the physicians in attend
ance knew he could not last another
day. His family had been summon
ed, and when he passed away, his
brother, DR.. Taulbee, his son James,
a boy about 10 years of age, his
brother-in-law, DR.. Bayne, the attend
ing physician, and Major Blackburn,
of Kentucky, were around his bed
side.

Re-Submission in Kansas.

Topeka, Kan, March 8.-A mass
convention was held last night in
Representative Hall in the interest
of re submission of the prohibition
law Of this State. Senator G. II.
Bentley, of Wichita, a prominent
Republican, delivered the principal
address. He declared that prohibi-
ton in the State had been com.
plete failure. He also submitted
statistics to show that the popnla-
ton of the State had decreased in
the last two years, and ascribed that
fact to prohibition. j. w. Steele
of Kingman, said the people were
tired of the prohibition farce, which
had depleted the treasures of the
cities and towns and caused a stag.

that it occurred. Within twenty

A Texas Amazon.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, March 10.-An
Infatuated woman, perfect Samson
in strength, turning the scale at It's
pounds, cleared Mayor Kirkpatrich's
office Friday in most approved style.
She was on trial for tolerating q nui-
sance on her premises, and in course
of the trial took occasion to pour
forth volley of abuse on the mayor.
He ordered her arrest. and the off
Ger who undertook to execute the
order at once found he had struck a
virago. With the fury of a wildcat
she clawed him and pounded him
until he was a notwithstanding spec
tacle.
The city attorney attempted to
interfere but was persuaded that it
was none of his business when he
received judicious highlander on
the jugular that sent him spinning.
The mayor was knocked out by a
few sledge-hemmer blows on the
face, and the combat ended only
when the mayor yelled to the police
man to let the fiend go. She picked
up her collar, her hat and her gloves,
pinned up her torn dress, and walk
ed out of court with a mild look of
elation in her eyes.

Strange Death bed Scene.

A most remarkable death-bed scene
took place in Vienna three weeks
ago. The hero of it was a young
professor at the university there. He
was man of great brilliancy and
learning. Four years ago he fell
i'll of an incurable disease, and ply
sicians warned him that only o radi-
cal change from his gay mode of life
could hinder for a short time the
progress of the malady. The young
professor answered quietly that he
would die as philosopher should
die, without an effort to defer his last
day. He ate, drank, studied, lectur-
ed and dance exactly as he did be-
fore the doctor warned him. A few
weeks ago he lay down on his death.
bed. He read the same books and
talked of the same frivolous amuse-
ments as usual up to one evening
about three weeks ago. Ats o'clock
the doctor then told him that he
would die within a few hours. The
young professor discussed many top
les entirely foreign to the subject of
his fast approaching death with his
wife till midnight.
