Speaker Reeds Tyranny.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l3.-In the house to-
day Cutcheon called up the senate joint
resolution permitting Lieutenant Colonel
Corbin, of the United States army to ac-
cept position in the Worlds Columbian
exposition, The resolution was opposed
by Rogers, Farquhar, Henderson Of Iowa,
and Dunnell. The house refused by p
to 81 TO order the resolution to third
reading.
The speaker laid before the house the
senate bill for the relief of Nat Mckay
and the executors of Donald Mckay who
seek compensation for work done upon
the Monitor.
Springer made the point of order that
the bill must be considered in committee
of the whole. The speaker oyerruled the
point of order and Springer appealed. On
sustaining the decision of the chair the
vote stood yeas los, nays 2l; no quorum.
A call of the house disclosed bare
quorum, which disappeared when the vote
recurred on sustaining the decision OF the
speaker, and the house therefore adj
journed.

the road To White sulphur Springs. The
find was made ten days ago by George
Parminton and Ed. Keen who 1--we near
the gulch. They were searching for water
when Parminton, who was in advance,
was stopped by a stencil of decomposing
flesh. Upon search he found the body of
a young man lying face downward upon
a ledge in "A mining cu'. Without disturb
ing the body he notified Coroner Kumpe
of White sulphur Springs and All inquest
was held.
A bullet hole was through the dead
mans head, entering from the rear. II
was clear case of murder, though the
body had evidently been carried to the
place where il was found. About seventy
five yards away bloody handkerchief

has been in the gulch for several months.
In the pockets several letters and "A
memorandum were found, indicating that
the mans name was Webber, aud that he
had formerly been employed by "a stock

There will soon be brought to trial in
the district court suit which involves
title to forty acres of land out near
Penn avenue, and un each side of Bas-
sett's creek, reputed to be worth $780,
600. A. L. Ankeny owns nearly all the
land, and it is to GUST him that the suit
will be brought by Mrs. Ann Bracken,
widow of Daniel Bracken, who died in
1871. Mr.. Bracken left will which de-
vised all his property to his wife. The
estate was not finally settled until
about five years later, when the decree
of distribution set forth that all the
property bequeathed to Mrs. Bracken
really belonged to A. T. Ankeny, Daniel
Bracken having before his death trans
ferred all his interest therein to Ankeny.
Mrs. Bracken claims that this dis
posal of her interest was never prop
erly made, and she proposes to contest
the judgment. this being, however. not
the first time that Mrs. Bracken has
brought similar suit. DR.. o. j. Evans
once held the property in the name of
his brother-in-law, Jay Dodge, and it is
said to be on certain redemption pro-
ceedings of the latter that Mr.. An
keny's claim is to be contested. Mr..
Ankeny considers his title invulne Ter
able, as it has several times been ex-
amined and pronounced perfect by
men who are experts IN the matter OF
land titles. The property is now
known as A. L. Ankenys addition. and
many of the lots are owned by inno-
cent purchasers.

A JUMPERS FEATS.
How an Irish Champion Trains
for Contests.

lOf OOuCCSCSs
Irish Sportsman.
Darby goes through no exceptional
training, except for special contest.
He keeps himself in trim by a little box
ing, careful dietary and keeping clear
of alcohol almost to teetotalism. He
jumps in clogs tipped with Steel the
most unsuitable foOtgear, the uninitiated
might suppose, for the purpose. Joseph
Darby is advertised as champion jumper
of the world, but this scarcely conveys
an idea of what he accOmpliShes, for
most people would suppose that he did
nothing beyond ordinary broad and
high jumps.
How mistaken they would be may be
gathered from the following, which are
but fraction of his feats: Standing
high jump. feet inches. with ankles
tied; two standing jumps. 26 feet N
inches; three standing jumps, Al feet Z
inches; four standing jumps, 80 feet
inches, clearing Is feet 5 inches in the
last jump; six backward jumps, 81 feet;
jumping from an ordinary brick, end
up, over bedroom chair, on to another
brick, end up, thence over bar feet 6
inches; three jumps, clearing chair
standing on table in last jump; jumping
from brick over two horses: clearing
% feet inches in two jumps, jumping
over chair on to mans face, without
hurting man. Where are our "cham-
pions," who scramble over feet 6 or
s and perhaps clear 20 or 81 feet? The
point in the brick and tumbler jumps is
that the jumper must not upset either,
and in this Darby does not fail once.

Miss Fawcett's triumph in the mathe-
NAUTICAL tripos puts the crown on long
series of successes by lady students at
Cambridge. There have now been lady
''senlorS" in all the important triposes
Except law. Here is the list:
Moral Sciences Hripos-In 1880 Miss
Jones was bracketed senior. In 1881
Miss MOberly was senior, and so in 1884
was Miss Hughes.
Historical Tripos-In 1886 Miss Role
son daughter of the late Oxford pro-
lessor of zoology was bracketed senior,
and In 1887 Miss Blanche PAUL was
similarly placed.
Medieval and Modern Language TIL
pos-Here there have been four lady
seniors. In 1886 two ladies and no men
were placed in the first class. The
ladies, who were placed in alphabetical
order, were Miss Chamberlain and Miss
Skeat daughter of Prof. Skeat). In
1887 Miss Hervey was senior. and in 1883
Miss luke (whose father is well known
in connection with schemes of Irish en-
igration). Finally, there are three sue
cesses of Miss Ramsay in the Classical
Tripos, 1887. and of Miss Fawcett in the
Mathematical, 1890. Of these eleven
lady seniors, two came from Gir.on,
Miss Jones and Miss Ramsay, the rest
from Newman.
1t is often asked what becomes of
lady students when they leave college.
A few particulars about some of these
lady seniors may therefore be added.
Miss Ramsay is now Mrs. Montague
Butler, the wife of the master of Trim
ity. Miss Moberly is head mistress of
the Tonbridge Wells high school for
girls. Miss Hughes is head Of train
ing college at Cambridge. Miss Cham
berlin is Instructor in German at Bryn

AMONG THE sToNECUTTERs.
Both Sides Have Another Word
Anent the Court House.

OOuIU A1OuSOs
The soft stonecutters went before
the court house commission, presented
their side of the case and related how
the granite cutters work for less money
than they do. Now the granite cutters
are at bat, and this is what one of them
says about their receiving lower wages:
ut is not because we are not skilled
workmen. for granite cutter is neces-
sarily Just as skilled mechanic as a
soft stonecutter. We work for $3.50 a
day of nine hours with eight hours Sat-
urday. That is 80 cents an hour. We
do this in order to enable the contract
Ors here to compete with the
Eastern contractors who get their
work done at 80 cents an hour.
AS to the claim that granite isn't good
freproof stone, that is nonsense. We
have seventy-seven active members in
the granite cutters union, while there
are not over forty-fve soft stone cut
ter's actually employed here. Our men
are nearly all married men and settled
here as long as there is work."
George W. Meyer, who represented
the soft stone cutters at yesterdays ses-
sion of the court house commissioners,
SAID to-day: II did not claim that a
granite cutter was no good ON soft
stone. [ said soft stone cutter could
learn to cut granite more readily than a
granite cutter could learn to cut soft
stone. Another mistake is that said
we objected to outside stonecutters COM
ing here. What | said was this: we
understand that contractor was bid
ding to have part of the stone cut here
and part out of the city, What we
ask of the commission is to adopt res
olution to have it all cut in the city,"

The Society Against the Abuse of To-
Dacco-to give it it's proper style and
title-is just now distinguishing itself
by an unusual display of energy. 1t is
about to present petition to the cham
Der of deputies, asking that law shall
be passed forbidding boys-and it is to
be presumed girls as well-under six
teen years of age to smoke. 1t has also
sent deputatiOn to the minister OF war
begging him not to permit soldiers to
indulge in the fragrant weed in their
own rooms. Not content with this the
society has also requested M. de Frey
cinet to instruct the commanders OF reg
iments to see that tobacco rations be
not distributed to n0n-smokers as we'll
as to lovers of the pipe. the cigar OF the
cigarette-as is said to be the case In
certain corps-in order that temptation
may be not thrown In the way OF men
who have not already taken kindly to
the luxury.
1t might have been assumed that if
young people under the age of sixteen
were not able to look after themselves
their seniors, who have donned the red
breaches, the kept or the helmet, might
at least be supposed to have arrived at
years of discretion. The society, how
ever, entertains a different opinion.
Like most enthusiasts, the anti-tObac-
cOnistS have overShOt the mark, yet. as
a matter of fact, there is no doubt he
weed is becoming daily more popular
with juveniles, who although they can
scarcely be described as babes and suck
lings. have barely entered into the
stage of boyhood and girlhood. Chill
dren of tender years are frequently to
be seen investing in cigarettes, and
even in cigars, at the different shops
where tobacco and postage stamps are
sold under the auspices of the authori-
ties, and it is by no means unusual-es-
peciallv in the districts inhabited main
ly by the working classes to see young
sters of seven or eight trying to keep
cigarette alight-a series of rapid puffs
being varied with vast amount Of ex-
pectoration.
