"Big Dick" says this paper must
apologize for what it said about the
eggs, and as Dick is whole lot bigger
than the publisher, his apology goes.
He says he didn't forget where he put
the eggs, but wanted to start chick en-
factory and thought he could hatch
eggs by sitting on them as he had seen
hens do. AS an incubator Dick is a
failure.

A Shooting ARRAY.

On Friday morning about O'Clock a
shooting scrape occurred at Tommy
Halls saloon in lower town, in which
John Morrison, latelely from Texas, and
I. + Reed were the leading characters.
The matter will come before the courts
and there will be the place to sift it.
As usual in such cases, the stories of
eye witnesses are conflicting Reed
was in the saloon and had been drink
ing heavily, and Morrison WAS tending
bar; some words passed in regard to a
woman of ill-repute, and the battle
opened. Morrison received two shots,
one striking him in the neck, narrowly
missing the jugular vein, ranging down
and lodging under the shoulder blade;
the other passing through the muscles
of the left arm, while Reed received
painful wound in the leg below the
knee. Nine shots in all were fred, and
it is probable that Morrison may die.
DR.. Plumer was Immediately called, and
Tommy Hall telephoned to Silver for
Drs. Richter and Weston, who came
down early Friday morning, and the
three, in consultation, removed the
bullet from Morrison's shoulder
Since coming here, Morrison has
seemed to be quiet man, while Reed,
who has been in the country longer, has
not builded for himself very good |
record, this being the third time within
the past two weeks that he has used his
gun.
Only short time since (in comment
ing on the murder of S. ]. Pritchard), l
had occasion to ask if it were not time
% see that the laws were enforced. This
event is only another illustration of the
7icious effect of the loose manner in
v hich justice is meeted out. There is
trict law against carrying concealed
eapons, aud every saloon keeper is
lnder bonds to keep an orderly place.
t is time for the proper officers to do
heir duty; the respectable and law
biding citizens to uphold them in it,
nd the tough element will very soon
earn their place.

Silver City and DeLamar have been
cursed during the week with an outfit
calling themselves the Chicago Comedy
Company. They are entirely without
merit unless you count their immaculate
gall. They have evidently sprung from
some dive in a city and should be
written down by the papers in every
town they visit, and if they strike
town where few hens have failed to
bring forth broods, they would make a
shining mark for the over-ripe fruit

| A subscription paper will be circulated
in DeLamar during the coming week,
asking the people to contribute some
thing to help pay the expenses of the
Silver City Cornet Band. The people
DeLamar when they know why they
will do so most eheerfully. For several
months past the band has employed an
excellent teacher at an expense of 500
per month, which has been but partially
repaid to them by subscriptions made
by Silver City people and by payments
for music furnished. The remainder of
the expense has been borne by part
of the young men belonging to the band.
As these young men give their time
while practicipg and playing, and their
excellent music is for the public benefit,
it is but fair that the public should pay
the expense. They have visited De-
Lamar on many occasions, and always |
eheerfully come and play here when
any entertainment is given. 1t will be
only an expression of our appreciation
of excellent music to contribute toward |
helping them. Put your names down
when the paper is presented to you and
pungle up dollar or SO. 1t is only due
them that you should Remember
this is not suggested by the band, but
is DeLamar affair solely. The Silver
City Cornet Band is not begging.

Assembling Slowly.
DEMANDS FOR AN EXTRA SESSION

Pension Commissionar Rsum's Anuua
RspOrt-An Eshmstod Deficiency foi

million DoIIars-Fnirchild for Secretary
Of tho Treasury.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Senators ano
Representatives are arriving slowly, and,
although Congress conVenes next Mon
day, hardly one-third Of the members Of
the National Legislature are here. How
ever, everything is being put in readines 5
at the Capitol.
The big white pile at the end of the
avenue has been thoroughly overhauled
during the recess. The Senate chamber
and the hall of the House of Representa-
tives have been improved wherever de.
fects needed remedy.
Some decided changes have been made
in the hitherto very defective ventilation
of both buildings, and it is hoped that
the improved plumbing of the vast mar
BILE structure on Capitol Hill will hereaf-
ter give less cause for complaint.
1t is noticeable that most of the South
erners and friends of Speaker Crisp are
loud in their demands for an extra ses
sion, while the older members from tbs
other secUions prefer to learn how near
is the threatened deficit in the Treasury
before they declare themselves on the
extra session question
The first day of the new session will be
devoted to the reading of the Presidents
message, provided Mr.. Harrison can fin
ish it in time The Senate will b
brought face to face at once with tn
Anti Option bill, and there is muci
speculation as TO its fate. The first weel
of Congress, however, will not be pro
duotive of much work.

COAL COMBINE INVESTIGATION.


New YoRK, Dec. 1.-The sub Com
mittee of the Congressional Interstate
Commerce Committee resumed its in
quiry here into the coal combine at II
o'clock.
Thomas Shedford, coal dealer, testi'
fed that business in coal was not as good
as it had been, and promised to give the
committee a statement of prices he has
paid to wholesalers for several years.
When he was asked if he could go shopping
for coal as advantageously as in previous
years he replied in the negative.
Thomas Torrey the sales agent Of the
Delaware s. Hudson Canal Company was
sworn and testified that all its coal was
shipped over the Erie Railroad.
Mr.. Torrey admitted that the coal pro-
ducers uaturally had common interest
in the largest possible output and high
est price, subject 10 the limitations pro
duced by the public demand.
Congressman Patterson then took hold
OF the witness and tried to pin him down
to something definite in regard to the
actual purpose and intent of the month
ly meetings OF the agents.
Mr.. Torrey, however, would admit
nothing which would imply that the
agents had anything whatever to do with
the price or output Of coal.

ANoTHERExPRgss PACKAGE oPENEt

Extracted.


GALVESTON, Te K, Dec. 1.-The sensa
tion caused by the discovery Of brown
paper in a package delivered by the Wells
Fargo Express company to the Island
City Savings Bank, when the endorse
ments showed that the parcel should
have contained $40, COO in currency,
shipped by the banking house of Kountze
Brothers OF New York, was increased
when it became known that the banking
mouse Of Ball. Hutchngs 81 Co had been
vctimizsd to the extent of $4,000 in a
similar way yesterday morning.
Among the money packages received
by this last named banking house was
one purporting to contain $25, 900, ship
ped Ivy the National City Bank OF New
York. This package was not opened
until after banking hours when the
cashier, upon cutting it open, was as
founded to see bundles of commonibrown
wrapping paper, cut to the size of bank
bills, tumble out on his desk.
The fact that the two banks received
their packages from different institu-
tions in New York made it certain that
the robbery was perpetrated after the
packages had been delivered to the ex-
press company by the New York shippers
Gen. Supt. Christeson, of the Wells
Fargo company, and his assistant, Taft
have arrived to look into the matter.
They decline to talk beyond the bare
Acknowledgment of the robbery, and i
is impossible to ascertain il they have an!
clue as to the point on the line where the
robbery was committed.

PENSION COMMISSIONERS REPORT
Estimated Deficiency for Present Fiscal
Year $50, sos, ,621.

Estimated Deficiency for Present Fiscal
Year $40, sos, ,621.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1.-The annual re-
port of Gen Green B. Raum, commits
sioner of pensions, shows that there were
on the pension rolls June 30, 1892, S76,
06S pensioners, an increase during the
year of 1893, 9O8.
There were added to the rolls during
the year 222,937 new pensioners and
2 477 pensioners previously dropped were
restored to the lists. During the
year 20, 806 persons were dropped from
the rolls.
The total amount expended for pen
sions during the fiscal year was $l39, OBS, =
613.
For the present fiscal year $144, 956, 900
is appropriated, and, taking the cost of
the pension allowances during the first
four months of this fiscal year as basis
of calculation, the Commissioner esti-
mates that deficiency appropriation of
$40, sos. 621 will be necessary to supple
ment this years appropriation.
An es innate of $l65, 900, 600 is submit
ted for the next fiscal year, but Commis-
sioner Raum says that ii as many allow
ances of pensions shall be made during
the fiscal year to come as during the fis
cal year ended June 80 last this amount
will not be large enough.
He says, however, that it is difficult to
forecast pension payments so far in ad-
vance and that as Congress will be in
session, no embarrassment will arise if
his successor in the light of actual cost
of the work for the first six months of
the next year, finds that a further ap-
preparation will be needed.
Under the Dependent and Disability
pension act 920, 957 claims have been filed
of which number 403, ,S59 have been al
lowed. The pension payments under the
law up to Sept. 80, 1892, amounted to
$40, 494, 443.
The Commissioner heartily commends
this Disability law.
