PhiIadciphin's First Book.

The first book of any kind published in Philadelphia was Atkins Almanaclz for the year 1856. It was an unpaged pamphlet of twenty pages, only two copies of which are now known to exist each being worth more than its weight in twenty-dollar notes. The first copy of the "Almanacll" printed was sent to Colonel Markham, Penn's deputy, who reported to the Provincial Council that it declared Pennsylvania to have been organized by ''Lord Penn." The coun- cil emphatically disapproved of this euphemistic falsehood, and directed both author and printer (William Brad ford) ito blott out ye words Lord Penn.'" This caused the recall of the whole edition, and the obliteration of the obnoxious words.-St. Louis Re- public.

Inc Republicans in the House Make
 Another Cautious Move.
 HARTFORD, Feb 12,-The speaker $ gavel fell at 11:40 this morning and the house resumed the struggle against time.
 Mir Walker moved that the clause in the house resolution No 20, be reSCinde q. It provided that all papers, resolutions, etc, pertaining to the election of state officers be referred to the committee on canvass of votes, without debate. Shortly before o'clock Stiles Judson of Stratford offered a resolution declaring Nicholas Staub elected comptroller. Mir Staub was elected he said and the republi- cans believed in doing right regardle ss of co sequences.
 Mir Root of Waterbury, after long speech moved to amend this with the senate resolution declaring all the demo- cratS elected.
 Gardner Green offered the report of the house conference committee, which was substantially as follows:
 ''The committee could not agree with the senate committee on any common ground, having made the following pro- positions, which were rejected:
 1. Both houses to seat Mir Staub and take joint ballot for all other officers. ?. Both to open the ballot boxes before non partisan committee. lICSS pLOpOSIllOtlo l' bC | to the superior court:
 What are the returns to be examined Has the general assembly power to take evidence eXtrinSic of returns: Is it the duty of the general assembly to take such evidence? Are ballots with the word | flor" illegal: Can either houses extend the legislative day for more than the calendar day:
 During the time the supreme court has the questions under consideration the public business shall go ahead, and if the senate insists the clerks of both houses shall hold all papers until the de- cision of the court is given. If the supreme court is objected to each side may select two superior court judges, with power if they cannot agree to call in fifth to have entire jurisdiction"
 This report was accepted and MI Roots amendment was referred by Speaker Page to the committee without debate, The resolution declaring Nil Staub elected was passed without op position.
 Mir Nlilner of Plainfield and Nil Wheeler of Monroe were appointed 6 committee to notify Mir Staub of hi: election and request him to appear and take the oath. The senate was notified of the election aud invited to attend the | inauguration.
 l The senate met at 1 o'clock but imme diately adjourned until next Tuesday. Inasmuch as this body inaugurated Nil Staub and the other officers severa weeks ago it Is not probable that they will accept the invitation of the house.

VERY RICH IN GOLD
Are Most of the Discoveries Now Be-
ing Made in Colorado.
SUMNER WORK In FULL BLAST.
Many Old Mines Reopened and Operated
With Good Results.
PAYING VENTURES IN SEVERAL FIELDS

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i
NEW YORK, June 21.-The following re-
ports have been received from the mining
centers of the West:
Denver-Summer work in the Colorado
mines is now fairly under way, and news of
important strikes is received daily. From
Lake City comes news of strike in the
Golden Fleece property made by Charles
Davis. The ore was found in body, and is
rich tellurium. AT Pitkin the Silent
Friend is taking out good mineral. AT
Crested Butte new properties are being
worked and old ones started. Cripple
Creek shows gold discoveries The camp
seems something of mystery. A CORE
spondent writes: "The fact is, it is a puzzle
to the people here why so few men come to
these mines when they are so promising,
quartz assaying $40, 900 ton"
Aspen shows its usual excellent work and
steady output, with no especial new fea-
lures. From Ophir, near Telluride, comes
news of preparations for more extensive
work on the Caribou Mine, contract for
10000 timbers having been let. Silverton
reports the sale of the Crowley Mine at
Chattanooga to the Silver Ledge Company,
for $4,000. The Silver Ledge Company
will work the property extensively. In
Park county the Colorado Comstock has ex-
hibited some remarkably good ore. Around
Ouray mining was never in more prosper
bus state, or, indeed, throughout the San
Juan generally. The American Nettie at
Ouray recently shipped 20 tons of ore,
which was valued in gold at S10,S00. The
Hew and Lake Mines, on Red Mountain,
have been bonded to an Eastern syndicate.

Old Mines Being Reopened.

San Francisco-The North Star Mine,
Amador, will be reopened and worked this
summer by a company that has bonded the
property on liberal terms The Comet Mine
will be prospected through the North Star.
The Hirsh Mine, Inyo, which has lain idle
for a number of years, is being worked and
is developing into small bonanza Ten
tons of ore recently shipped gave return
Of 81, ,347. The ore assays 1871 per cent
lead, 66 40 ounces silver and $40 gold per
ton. For about month past each tenth
load of gravel from the Harmony Mine,
Nevada county, has been put aside, with a
view to determining whether much gold is
lost in the washing process. The Union
Consolidated Mine, Phineas, half of which
is owned by an English syndicate, is pro-
ducing $4,000 month.
Lucky Dan Higgins, an old silver pros
pector, recently discovered a rich silver
lead in San Diego county, extending from
the Mexican line some so miles northwest,
and nine locations have been made in the
new camp, which is near Dos Cabezas
Springs. Following are the results of an
assay of ore from the claims made last week
by W. S. Young, of San Diego: Virginia,
S271 per ton; Charleston, S278 80; Washing
ton, $6S Ss; Silver Hill, ,S9S 30; Silver Peak,

BIG BOILER EXPLOSION
1t Considerably Startles the People
Around MasSill0n.
SEVERAL BUILDINGS BURNED UP.
The Engineer Instantly Killed While at His
Post of Duty.
ONLY PART OF HIS BONES ARE FOUND

MAssILLoN, June 81. A trightful
boiler explosion occurred between 8 and 4
o'clock this morning, at the Drake Coal
Company's mine, two miles west of this
city. The engine and boiler, used in sup
plying power to the works, were completely
wrecked, and several buildings about the
works were destroyed by the fire which fol-
lowed the explosion. Henry 'Vogt, the
night engineer, who happened to be the
only one on duty at the time, was instantly
killed by the force of the explosion, and
his body was so terribly burned by the re-
sultant fire that only portion of his body
was found.
This afternoon the Coroner held an in
quest, and called before the Jury Rinehart
Kellar, General Manager of the company,
and d. w. johnson. of Cleveland, boiler
inspector for the Hartford Steam Boiler In
spection Insurance Company. The latter
testified that in his opinion the explosion
must have been caused by low water in the
boiler. Portions of the boiler were ex-
amined, and indicated this idea to be cor
rect. The loss to the coal company is about
1000, which is fully insured.

Great Activity in New Mexico.

Silver City-Mining men at Hanover are
much elated at the prospect for that camp,
and there is every indication that within
three months Hanover will be producing
more ore daily then any other camp in the
Territory. The rails have been laid on the
Silver City and Northern Railroad about
one-third of the distance to Hanover, and
the line will be completed to that place
early in next month. Since work was COM
menced on this line there has been lively
scramble for the possession of claims there,
and new ones have been located wherever
there was the least showing for either cop
per or iron mines, so that now there is
hardly foot of ground within three miles
of Hanover gulch which is not located.
There are mountains of iron and copper
ore which cannot be worked out for dozens
of years to come, while only four miles
distant are the 40 mines of the Santa Rita
Copper and Iron Company, which have
never been offered for less than s, ,O0O,02

HIRED A SUBSTITUTE.
A Uniontown School Teacher Who Wanted
Time to Cast His Ballot.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, June 2l.-Some time ago
A. c. Woolsey, of Perry township, took a
vacation, and put a substitute in to teach his
school, The directors of the school refused
TO pay him, and he has brought suit. Mr.
Woolsey taught the Summer Hill school in
that township, and when he went home to
vote he engaged Miss Annie Moss to take his
place for a week. At the hearing before
Justice Shank, of New Geneva, the directors
presented letter from Deputy State Super
intendent John Q. Stewart in which that
gentleman said they had done right in re-
fusing the pay for the week, as teacher had
no right to hire substitute.
In order to make their annual report to
the State Department, and receive the town
ship appropriation, the board has employed
c. r. Mcdonald to teach the extra week dur
ing Woolsey's absence. Justice Shank took
the papers and reserved his decision, and up
to to-day he has not given out any opinion.
All parties concerned in the suit for a few
dollars had come some 80 miles to the
Squire's, and after the tempest in the SQuire's
office the directors took a steamboat excur-
sion. If the decision is against them they
will take the matter to court.

A NEW WAY OF FISHING.
The Fish Warden Will Probably Find a
Way of Stopping It.

NEW CASTLE, June 9l.-Some parties at
Wampum have arranged an ingenious and
successful method of catching fish. 1t is
boat, in which the seats are so arranged that
tho boat can be dipped, the water almost
coming over the side. just after dusk in the
evening two men take their places in this
boat, and row mp one side of the Beaver
river for a distance of about mile, keeping
the dipped side of the boat as near ms pos
sible to the bank. This contrivance can only
be used when the river is on the rise, as the
fish then congregate along the shore. As the
boat passes along the shore the fish become
frightened and jump into the boat.
After going up, the boat is rowed to the
other side, where the same tactics are pur-
sued. No light is used, and the darker the
night the better. The parties using this sys-
tenn have been at it for some time andevery
night come in with large catch. The fish
are unable to escape, owing to the bottom of
the boat nearly touching the bed of the
river, thus forcing them to jump directly
into the boat. There is no law covering this
ingenious method of poaching, but it is
probable that the Fish Warden will find
some method of stopping it.

SUIT FOR A ROW BOAT.
II Is Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction
sC1niro nohbin

1t Is Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction
by Squire Dobbin.
TITUsvILLE, June 2.-'Squire Dobbin, of
Lincolnville lying on the banks offs pleasant
lake near here, has dismissed an interesting
suit, for fear it does not come under his
jurisdiction. The case was that of Shreve VS.
Emerson, to recover the value of row boats
which Shreve had out on the lake, and which
he claims Emerson had destroyed.
Some wears ago the Canadotah Club
bought a large tract of land, including the
lake. They claim the right to control it, and
say who shall and who shall not put boats ON
the lake On the other hand the people in
the neighbOrhood claim the lake is public
property, and they can put boats on the
lake and fish and hunt whenever they see
fit. This question, that is of interest to
every sportsman in the vicinity, will likely
be taken to court.

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.
An Eloquent Discourse Delivered at Mead
Vile Yesterday.

MEADvmLE, June 2L-President D. III.
Wheeler, of Allegheny College, preached his
baccalaureate sermon here this morning. He
took SolomOn's song, eighth chapter, sixth
and seventh verses, as his text.
His eloquent discourse upon the subject
was listened to most attentively by a very
large congregation. He divided his discourse
into u subdivisions and closed by saying:
1--WE have all heard that sneer of the
trifiing and frivolous about never-ending
song, and a never-ending harp, In the blessed
world. But these figures of John are simply
the promise no scoffer can take from us. that
the human heart may by and by realize its
dreams of a flawless life and perfect song.
meet-is life, more life, joy, more JOY un-
spealzable joy. And since Joy always sings,
the heavenly song and the heavenly harpare
intimations of an unstinted gift of life and
the high jubilate ofimmortal delight. Their
simple sense is the dream come true-life
forever more, life in fullness ofjoy."

DESTRUCTION OF FISH.
Thousands Found Floating on the Surface
of Lake Conneaut.

CoNNEAUT LAKE, Pa, June 2L-Thousands
of dead fish are floating on the surface of
the lake here, and every day the proprietors
of the several hotels walk along the beach
and bury the hundreds of fine fish that float
ashore. Many of the dead fish are 10 and 10
Founders, while they will average fully
three pounds in weight.
There is no doubt the fish are killed by
dynamiting, and unless the contemplate
business is soon stopped, the glory of the
lake for excellent fishing will soon depart.
1t is a strange thing that spoftsmen and
hotel men here do not put a stop to work
that is depriving the lake of its chief attrac-
tion to thousands of summer tourists.

ALLIANCE, o., June 2l.-For the first time
in the history of the Cleveland and Pitts.
burg road, the Pennsylvania Company ran
scheduled train Sunday over that road
The object is to provide fast limited train
between Cleveland and the Eastern cities.
The train arrived here at 1905 A. NJ, on the
Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago and left
on the Cleveland and Pittsburg at TO- reach
ing Newburg, q distance of 40 miles, where
it strikes the city limits of Cleveland in 65
minutes. Returning this train arrives here
at 3:l0 P. NJ. connecting with No. 6 on the
Pittsburg, Ft. Wayne and Chicago road
This train makes faster time than any
other ON the entire Pennsylvania system
west of Philadelphia. The charter of the
company provides that no train shall be run
on this road on the Sabbath day, but it is
not likely that any trouble will arise from
this new departure.

continuing until late hour. The changes
in the new scale limiting the time Of charg-

vance in pay to puddlers' helpers was dis
cussed at length, the sentiment being against
these changes. A committee was appointed
Pittsburg, and lay their grievances before it.
The helpers assert that if the puddlers do
not grant the advance, they will unite and
force the issue. The new scale is not salts

workers, and unless changed, will not be ac-
cepted by the Mahoning Valley iron manu-
