Here's a Fish Story for You.

While John Webster, with several
companions, were fishing through the
ice in the Iowa River at Eldora, Iowa,
they speared a fine pike. Cutting it
open they were much surprised to find
a fat pocketbook containing $50 in
gold, Sl5 in silver, SO i'll bank notes,
$40. 900 in bonds, and a certificate of
deposit on bank of Johnstown, Pa,
for S25. A slip of paper was also found
bearing statement that the book and
contents belonged TO John j. Jones,
of Johnstown, who was supposed to
have persisted in the terrible flood.
There is no doubt that the fish had
made its way to the Iowa River by
traversing the famous Conemaugh
River TO the Allegheny, then TO the
Ohio, then TO the Mississippi, and then
up the Iowa River

SETTLED AT LAST.

The contest for the governorship OF
West Virginia has been settled at
last. The decision which has been
made is final, and Governor Fleming
will take his seat in the gubernatorial
chair. After nearly two weeks of ar
gument in the Legislature, a vote
was taken on Tuesday of this week.
A resolution to seat General Golf was
introduced by the Republicans and
defeated by a vote of 43 to 40. Then
n resolution declaring Judge Fleming
entitled to the seat was passed by
vote of 43 to 40. Every Democrat
voted for Fleming, and every Repub-
lican for Golf. Senator Carr, indie
pendent iaber, voted for Fleming,
although his vote was expected by
the Republicans.
Hon. A. Brooke Fleming, who will
now be duly inaugurated as Governor
of West Virginia, was born In Marion
county. Va. (now West Nirginla), on
October Is, 1889. Until he arrived at
the age of twenty years he worked
with his father on the farm where he
was born, during about half the year
attending the schools of the district
in the winter. He entered the law
department of the University of Nir-
GINA in 1859, and upon being admit
ted to the bar he began the practice
of his profession at Chenille, Gilmer
county, Va, returning, however, to
his native town in 1862, where he has
since resided. In 1868 he was elected
to the office of prosecuting attorney
of Marion county for term OF four
wears. In 1871 and again in 1875 he
was elected a member of the Leglsla-
ture. and became very active and
influential member of that body. In
1878 when Judge Lucas died in office,
he was appointed by the Governor to
fill the uneXpired term, and III the
following October was elected TO the
position. In October, 1890, he was
elected Judge of the second judi
cal precinct for the full term OF
eight years, receiving the largest ma
iority ever given a candidate for
similar office in the State. He ran as
a Democrat, and the enormous vote
given him in a district that was largely
Republican attested his popularity at
the time in his own section OF the
State. His term expired with the
close of 1888, and in August OF that
wear he was made the Democratic
candidate for Governor. Besides at
tending to his judicial duties, he has
been extensively engaged with his
fathar-in-law Hon lanes o. Watson,
in mining and farming enterprises.

INFORMED OF HIS LOSS.

As soon as the news of the disaster
had reached the White House Presi-
dent Harrison and Secretary Halford
threw on their coats and hurried over
to the scene. They were admitted to
the house Of Judge Davis and remain
ed until nearly 2 o'clock.
For several hours Secretary Tracy
remained in a semi-conscious condI-
ton. About o'clock he recovered
his senses sufficiently to recognize
those about his bedside. As soon as
he regained consciousness Mr.. Tracy S
first question was about his family.
By prearranged programme Presi-
dent Harrison had been agreed upon
to break the sad and terrible news to
the sufferer.
For a long time Mr.. Tracy's ques-
tions were put off, until he worked
himself into high state of nervous
ness. Fearing disastrous conse-
quences, the physicians told the Pres
ident that it would be dangerous for
him to delay the statement any longer.
With tears in his eyes President Har-
rison took Secretary Tracy's right
hand i'm his own, while DR.. Ruth held
the other hand and noted the actions
of his pulse.
Slowly and with painful emotion
President Harrison told the sad story
of the death OF Mrs. Tracy and her
daughter Mary, but the horrible de-
tails were omitted, only the bare facts
being related. During the recital of
the narrowing story Secretary Tracy
exhibited wonderful courage. He
asked questions from time TO time,
but il was with the air of one who
knew the inevitable had happened.
When he heard that his daughter
also met her death in the flames his
fortitude gave way and, turning on
his face. he gave vent TO bitter sobs
that seemed to rack his very soul
The remains of Mrs. Tracy and Miss
Tracy were enclosed in caskets and
carried to the White House. where
they were placed in the East Room.
They were kept there until Wednes-
day, when the funeral services took
place. General Tracy is now at the
White House, where he will of course
receive every attention until he has
recovered from the terrible shock.
The funeral services over the re-
mains of Mrs. and Miss Tracy were
held in the White House on Wednes'
day. Only the intimate friends OF
the family were present. The scene
was most heart-rending one, nearly
all present being overcome with
emotion. The remains were placed
temporarily in the receiving vault of
Rock Creek Cemetery,
