Interesting Developments in the Tri-
angular Fight.
LINCOLN, NEB., Jan. 22.-The triangular
contest over the governorship of Nebraska
reached an interesting stage to-day. The
independents have been endeavoring for
two days to proceed with the Powers Boyd
gubernatorial contest without recognizing
Boyd as governor, and without pre-
senting a call for joint convention
to HIM for signature. Yesterday the whole
matter was submitted to the supreme court
for settlement, and today the court handed
down decision declaring that under the
constitution of the state no joint couven-
tion can be held unless it has been ordered
by regular resolution, which must pass
both houses and receive the approval
of the governor. This decision has
caused the greatest CONSERVATION among
the independents. They must now proceed
to pass another resolution calling a second
convention of both houses Of the legislature.
1t will take six days to do this. If the gov
ernor refuses to sign the resolution der
the supreme court decision no contest can
be held and Gov. Boyd will remain in the
chair.

Man 70 Suicide.


Man to Suicide.
ATLANTA, GA, Jan. ga young man
named George Robinson shot himself in
Hollands saloon on Decatur street tonight,
and now lies at the point of death. The
weapon used was a 3S-caliber pistol. The
ball entered the suicides left breast, lust
above the nipple and must have passed near
the heart. Robinson was very drunk when
the shot was fired, but there is reason to
believe that he began drinking is morning
with the idea Of killing himself before
the day was over. He has several times
threatened to adopt that course on account
of a justice court marriage. in which he
played the role of bridegroom a day or
two ago. 1t seems that there are two
women in the case, with one of them Rob-
inson had been on intimate terms for some
time. The second, a Miss Derricott, he is
accused of debauching, and it was to es-
cape the penalty of this offense that he con-
sented on short notice to make her Mrs.
Robinson after the judge had bound him
over. Since then, feeling show
happy he might be with
either. were t'other dear charmer
away" Robinson's life has been a burden
TO him. he grew desperate and got drunk
this evening. Staggering into Hollands bar
andsgolng behind the counter he seized the
pistol kept there by the proprietor, and
fired before bis purpose was suspected, little
attention having been paid to his frequent
suicidal attempts. Help was summoned
and the dying man carried to his wifes
house. He is resting easy and may recover.

Jeweler w. A. Kerr of New York says:
was once asked by lady if there were
many precious stones found in the United
States. She meant minerals. She was of
the same opinion of many others in this
country, that everything precious in that
line was found only in the Old World.
There is, believe, little mining here for
precious gems, but it is not because we do
not have them. Rock crystal, which ad-
mits of such a high polish. and which is
much used in jewelry now, is found in
large quantities in North Carolina, Vir-
GINA. Georgia and Arkansas. There is a
jet in Colorado that is equal to any l ever
saw, and believe there is some in Texas.
In Maine there is q mountain called Mount
Mica, out of which tourmalines to the value
of 500, 900 a year are taken. Moonstone is
found in Virginia, and the soil of New
Mexico is enriched with sapphires, rubies
and garnets l wish l could come back to
the United States 100 years from now. We
think this is a glorious country now. In
another century the cites of this country
will surpass the descriptions we have of the
New Jerusalem, and millionaires will be as
common as poor relations. You and / are
living too soon, believe me.

SENTENCED TO HANG.

A Negro Who Killed a Hotel Cham

COLUMBUS, GA, Jan. 22.-Clarence Nc
Leroy, a negro in the county jail whose
trial was finished to-day, was sentenced to
be hanged on Feb. 26 for the murder of
Annie Reid, a Rankin house chambermaid.
The case is one of long standing and one of
considerable annoyance to a good many
jurists. The jury was not long in render
ing verdict. When his sentence was read
he showed very little emotion. The colored
people seem to have taken very little inter
est in the case, and it is supposed very few
murmurs of complaint will be heard from
them,

'As soon as enough stock had been dis

had no earthly right to tell the people that
they would be taken TO Liberia or any other
