VIII Not be Arrested.
NEW York, March 7.-President
Chauncey NJ. Depew Of the New York
Central, President g. P. Clark of the
New York, New Haven g. Hartford, and
Director Park of the same road, surren-
dered themselves to the coroner and were
all held in $25, 900 bail.
DIRECTOR Park was the first to arrive
at the oroner's Office. He was accom-
panied by Nilsson who qualified as his
bondsman in the sum of $25, 900. While
the coroner was accepting bail for Mr..
Park President Clark came in and sur
rendered himself. Frederick P. Tilford
of Park g. Tilford gave the required bail
for Mr.. Clark.
When President Clark was arraigned
his legal representative, Counsel Taft,
raised an objection to the issuing of war
! rants for any officers of the road other
than the president, vice-president, secre-
tary and treasurer. The comptroller
and agents of the road, he said, were
only employees of the road and not
officers in the sense of being responsible
| for the action of the road. The coroner
| viewed the matter in the same light and
then reduced the number of those listed.
A detective from the Central office
called on Mr.. Depew and requested him
to come down to the coroner's Office. He
showed no warrant. In the course of an
hour Mr.. Depew appeared at the corO-
ner's Office and gave himself up. The ar
raignment before the coroner was in
formal. He gave bail in So, 200, the
sum demanded. Cornelius Vanderbilt
went on his bond.
Arrangements were made whereby Di-
rectors Hunt and Miller, both aged men,
should appear next Monday. President
Clark assured the coroner that all the
officials of the road would appear in per-
son and give bonds.
Operators McManus and Breen were
discharged, but Engineer Fowler was
| held under $4,000 bail to await the &C.
tion of the grand jury.

SPECIFIC MEDICATION.

Dr. LaFon was hrst taught the time
honored system of Paracelsus; and later in
life has carefully studied the other schools
of medicine and he wishes now to state
most emphatically, that he allows no sx-
elusive dogmas to govern his Judgment,
either in practice, or theory; but that he
bases his treatment of diseased action,
upon his own individual experience, and
employs only such remedies as are by him
personally known to be of value.
He therefore tries no experiments, makes
no mistakes, and has no guess work but
| aided by his perfect knowledge of the
| structure of man, and the psculiarities Of
| disease and its action upon the different
| organs and their functions, he truthfully
demonstrates to the patient, the source Of
their troubles, and teaches in his consul
tations, their inherent powers over the
weakness and debilities, which lead 10
the various diseases incident to their ma
ture.
He will locate, describe, and explain the
diseased action and will give to those call
ing upon him a full, clear and accurate un-
Outstanding of their case.
The thousands who have consulted the
doctor have been surprised by his concise
and explicit manner of making plain TO
them their true condition as we'll as by
his thorough knowledge of pathology,
| which enables him to instantly and un0r-
| cines necessary to cure.
Are you afflicted with Malaria, Rheuma-
| tism, Neuralgia or Liver troublesl Have
you Scrofulous Humor, Cancerous, Sy-

ALame Effort.

The Sparks made lame effort last
week to point out some inconsistencies
in the REGISTER article on "boodlerism,"
and as usual fell down. 1t also states
that all articles printed in that paper
are bona-tide ones and not an attack un-
der the shelter OF nom de plume" The
articles were printed as an editorial with
out any name signed and were SO taken,
and yet they now state they were com
municated. We never heard the paper
accused OF being afraid to express its
sentiments and we do not think the REG
IsrER can be accused OF fear in that di-
rection either. No one can deny that the
city was in the hands of an unscrupu-
lous Democratic gang in the old days,
and one of the results was our present
system of water works, which are a dis
grace to the town, considering the price
paid. The money all went TO the chief
OF the Democratic gang. AS to what po-
sition the REGISTER took at the time un-
der its old management, has nothing to
do with its present stand, or the attack
made upon it's present owners. If the
old management stood in with this Dem
ocratic "pap," we are not responsible for

Re-apportIonment.

The re-apportionment bill is still hang
ing between heaven and earth. Prowers
county has every reason to satisfied with
the White bill, and the caucus agree
ment concerning it. This bill if passed
will give Prowers and Baca one repre-
sentative jointly, Bent and Kiowa one
representative jointly, and Otero one. 1t
creates Senatorial district from Otero
Bent, Kiowa and Prowers counties. The
more populous counties, notably Arapa-
hoe and Pueblo are dissatisfied with the
bill, claiming that the smaller counties
population entities them to. There is
some truth in the statement, but its wis
dom will be acknowledged by the large
majority of the State nevertheless. 1t is
clearly not for tho best interests of the
State to have, for example, one third of
the Legislature elected from Arapahoe
county. An amendment has been pre-
pared to the bill, and will be offered in
the House, increasing very materially
the representation of the larger counties
Should this amendment be adopted, one
legislative district will be created from
the counties of Prowers, Bent, Kiowa
and Baca. The Senatorial district would
remain the same as in the original bill
except that Baca county will be added
We hope and believe the White bill will
become law, substantially as intro
duced.
The Lamar register., 1891-03-28

The roll call on the final passage of the
White railroad bill in the House, was the
occasion Of a very interesting disclosure
When the combine was formed it was
justified by its members and partisans
on the ground that it was necessity in
order to carry out needed reforms, and
the pledges made to the people. The
regularly elected Speaker had to be un-
seated, and the committees he appointed
dissolved, we were told because they
were under corporation influences. But
on this railroad bill, the one above all
others nearest the people, we find Brown,
OF Arapahoe, Carmichael, Sanborn and
Wocten in opposition, while Eddy favor
ed and voted for the bill. Messrs. Brown,
Carmichael, Sanborn and Wooten are
leading spirits in the combine. Their
actions have been understood for some
time, but this vote fully discloses the
cloven foot. 1t is now being charged
and with reason that the combine was
formed for the benefit of corporations
pure and simple.

Production of Gold and Silver.

Edward o. Leach, the Director of the
Mint, has submitted a report on the pro-
duction of the precious metals for the
calendar year 1890. The gold product Of
the United States was 1,58S,SS0 fine
ounces CTroy), of the value of S32, ,S45,0 600
an increase of $4,000 over the product
of the proceeding year. The silver prod
uct of our own mines approximated 54,-
10000 ounces, corresponding at the av-
erage price of silver during the year, to
S57, ID, 600, and at the coming value Of
silver to 0,464 ,645, against product of
50,90O,000 fine ounces of the commercial
value, of 6,750,0O0 and coming value Of
s64, AGA ,464, in the proceeding year--an
increase of 100000 fine ounces in the
silver product OF the United States last
year. The silver product OF our smelters
and reineries was Ga, ,920,927 fine ounces.
The total value of the gold deposited at
the mints during the calendar year was
S56, ,217 Jos, of which S37 ,234 ,342 was do
mestic bullion; s4,352, ,422 foreign gold
bullion; sS,957,447 foreign gold coin;
S55S,3S6 light weight domestic gold coins;
1876, 1863 old jewelry, plate, etc, and ST.
449,741 re-deposits. The total amount Of
silver offered for sale to the Government
during the year was 6S,130,457 fine
ounces, costing 1891, $40, the average
cost being S1.O6 per fine ounce. The
coinage executed during the last calen-
dar year WIS the largest in the history OF
the Mint service, aggregating 124 OPS 1865
pieces of the value of 561, ,o54 ,8S2.Si, as
follows: Gold, $40, ,467 1872; silver dollars,
s3s,o43,oO4: subsidiary silver coins, ST.
159,9O4; minor coins, S1,3S4, 1924. In
addition to the coinage, gold and silver
bars were manufactured to the value of
S3S, 500, ,l9S, of which SIS, ,49S COG was gold
and S9,094, ,592 silver. Gold bars were ex

s1.041a. The average price during the

The Senate.

The close of the Senatorial contest in
Illinois removes all doubt as to the
standing of each of the parties in the
Senate OF the Fifty-second Congress.
All the regular elections kave now been
held except the one in Florida, and in
that State there is no doubt as to the
partisan complexion Of the man to be
chosen, as the Democrats are strongly in
the lead in the Legislature. In the
special election in California to fill the
vacancy caused by Senator Hearst's
death a Republican will succeed Dem
ocrat, and the successor to the dead
Democratic Senator Wilson, of Mary
land, will be Democrat. There have
been three changes from Republicans to
Democrats in the regular elections. Gov
ernor Hill replaces W. M. Evarts in New
York, w. F. Villas follows John G.
Spooner in Wisconsin, and John M. Pal
mer succeeds Charles j. Farwell in Hi
nois. These are the direct partisan trans
formations which have taken place. In
two other States Kansas and South Da-
kota-there are changes from Republi-
cans to Farmers Alliance men, PETER, in
the former, succeeds John j. Ingalls,, and
Kyle, in the latter, takes the place of
Gideon G. Moody. In the Senate which
stepped down last week the Republicans
had 81 members and the Democrats 81,
Republican majority OF IA. In the SEN
ate which meets this year the Republi-
cans, after allowing for the gain in Cali
fornia, will have At, the Democrats 80,
und the Farmers Alliance 2. Irby, it
must be understood, who was chosen by
the Alliance in South Carolina to sue
ceed Hampton, has returned to his old
party, the Democracy, and is to be
counted as Democrat in partisan clas-
sifications of Senators. The Republi-
cans, therefore, will have lead Of eight
over the Democrats in the next Senate,
and of six over both Democrats and AL
ance men. This is a small margin for
the Republicans compared with the re-
cent one, but it is as broad as they have
had on the average since the close of the
reconstruction days-Globe- Democrat.
