A Legislator Who Asserts That There
Was an Attempt to Bride Him.

The actual fun in the gubernatorial contest
in West Virginia began Saturday morning when
it was whispered abroad that Gen. Golf would
likely be declared governor Of West Virginia
Immediately after the legislative court met
Delegate Harr, union labor, offered commu-
ncation stating. that he had been offered q, 800
by the republican engrossing clerk of the sem
ate and district mine inspectorship if he
would vote to seat Gen. Gof. motion was at
once made TO appoint an investigating commit
tee Of two senator's and three delegates to re-
port at the earliest possible moment, and sew
eral democratic members arose and began to
denounce Gen. Goh This was cut of by the
chair. The motion to appoint committee was
carried. Republicans claim the object was to
delay matters and prevent vote from being
taken; also to intimidate other democratic MEM
bers who may vote for Golf with the fear of
charges Of bribery. At present the chances
seem to be in COTS favor, and republicans
claim the bribery charges will result favorably
to him. Judge Maxwell offereda resolution de-
claring him duly elected, and Immediately
afterward the court adjourned until 10 O'Clock
Tuesday morning. 1t is understood that the
democrats will make every effort TO marshal

Deadly Western Avalanches

Sierra City, CAL, is completely cut off from
outside communication. The people of the
whole place are in terrified expectancy of death
from avalanches. An immense slide of snow
suddenly started down the mountain and swept
everything in its pathway. Houses were
smashed into kindIing wood and big trees
snapped like twigs before the tremendous
force. Nine lives were lost
The names of the dead are no. given. Hun
dreds OF people sought refuge in tunnel No. 9,
where they were made comfortable as posi-
BILE. 1t is probable they are there now, fearful
to brave the impending dangcs
Friday, January IL, the most gigantic ava
lanche known in the history of the place started
at the head of the ravine. Several dwellings
that missed the first visitation, the Buttes
house, new tunnel No. 9and the county bridge
were demolished All roads from the place are
blocked with giant drifts of snow, which, in
many cases, are full of danger to venturesome
snowshoers. The wires are all down, proyis-
ions are short, and, with danger and death i'm
pending. the prisoners in the little town pass
days and nights full of apprehension and ter
ror.

You Should Not Shave Too Close.

From Medical Classics
Do you know what a close shave means? ]
never did until looked at face the other day
through microscope which had been treated
through this luxurious process. Why, the en-.
tire skin resembles piece Of raw beef. To
make the face perfectly smooth requires moi
only the removal of the hair, but also a portion
OF the cuticle. and close shave means the re.
moval of layer of skin all around. The blood
vessels thus exposed are not visible to the eve,
but under the microscope each little qulverine
mouth holding a minute blood drop protests
against such treatment The nerve tips are
also uncovered and the pores are left unpro-
tected, which makes the skin tender and un.
healthy. This sudden exposure of the inner
layer Of the skin renders person liable to have
colds, hoarseness and sore throat.

The Resemblance Of Married COUPLES

FROM the New YORK commercial Advertiser
1t has long been accepted as a fact that mar
ried couples, who are not only exposed to the
same conditions of life, but the influence of
whose minds must necessarily react upon each
other, assume more or less facial resemblance
to each other. The Photographic society of
Geneva, Switzerland, with view to determine
TINS question, have made photographs of seven
ty-eight young couples. The result is that in
twenty-four cases the resemblance in the per-
sonai appearance of the husband and wife was
greater than that of brother and sister; in
thirty cases it was equally great and in only
semblance

Presence Of Mind in q Youngster.


A boy living near Nassau city was out FIRE
hunting few nights ago, when he planted his
foot on something soft and slippery and at
one awakened the warning notes OF rattle
snake. By the Pickering glare of his torch he
saw that he had trod upon the reptile, but for
tunately had planted his foot on its neck Just
back Of the head, and though it folded its shiny
coils around his ankles and struck out with its
fangs with lightning like rapidity, it was un-
able to turn its head TODD mischief. The lad
had presence Of mind enough to keep his foot
firmly planted upon its neck, while with the
axe In mis- hand he severed the head from the
body.

VISITING FIREMEN.

The ]. w. Cramton hose company
of Rutland, II in number, spent
Thursday in town. They were on
their regular vacation excursion,
having left Rutland Saturday for
Niagara Falls. They went by rail
to Toronto, where they took a
steamer down the lake and the st.
Lawrence river to Montreal They
reached here Thursday afternoon and
were shown through the scale works
by the Fletcher hose company and
after supper at the st. Johnsbury
house were driven about town and
then back to the hose rooms, where
a banquet was served and an i'm
promptu entertainment given by
members of the home company. Fri
day morning they left for the White
Mountains. after which they will re-
turn home via Boston. This com
pany has quite novel way of run
ming its business. The town pays
the company $3.50 year instead OF
81 each for every fire. The money
thus received is placed in the treas
ury and used to defray the expenses
of an annual trip.

ALMOST AN ACCIDENT.

The Newport Express gives the fol-
lowing account of narrow escape
at Newport Tuesday morning:
The early express train to Mont
real contained six cars, most of them
excursionists, and was being drawn
by two engines. When on the bridge
across the bay the second engine be-
came disabled, one of the connecting
rods giving way. The train fortu-
nately was running slowly and Ryan,
the engineer of the first engine, hap
pened to see piece of wood or iron
fly from the disabled engine and
at once knew there was trouble and
as quick as thought reversed his en-
gine and stopped the train at once.
Had the broken engine made another
revolution 1T might likely have been
thrown from the track and with the
cars fallen into the lake Prompt
action no doubt averted a serious ac-
cident.
