County Official Paper
STEWART AND NENLANDs.

Nevada elected a Lei islatura which
insu:es tho reelection Of VIM. M.
Stewart to the United States Senate
by q majority Of thirty or more ON
joint ballot, conceding that six Of the
nine hold over Senators are against
him. Francis G. Newlands is elected
to the House Of Representatives by a
majority OF four or five thousand. In
consequence Of the election Of Cleve-
land, and Democratic ascendancy in
National affairs, those gentlemen will
have much greater influence in both
Houses Of Congress by reason Of the
independent position which they oc-
cupy, than they would as Republicans.
Should the Populists hold the bal
Rnce of power in the Lext House of
Representatives, as they certainly
will in the Senate, they can accom-
plish much more for the interests Of
the State, than they could hope to do
as Republicans. Both are able, ag-
gressive and energetic. They will
not be bound by the DEGREES of King
Caucus. They will not be a party to
combinations to advance party inter-
ests at the expense of those of their
constituents. The one will not, while
assuming to be the great champion
Of the Silver cause, 8 his influence
TO elect a President, who is opposed
TO free coinage as the present ratio,
and who we are told by John Sher-
man would veto a free coinage bill,
and the other will not, as the Repre-
sentative of Nevada, vote for a pro-
nounced gold-bug for Speaker, and
declare in the House that free coin
age is Of o Importance than party
success, and two months later ia Ne
Vada, place party success before free
coinage, and endeavor to get his con-
stituents to support a party that gave
only eight votes for the Stewart bill
in the House Of Representatives on
the 18th Of last July. No; Stewart
and Newlands will do mono Of those
things. They have publicly declared
that they will make earnest and hon
Orabla eudeHvor to secure favorable
silver legislation regardless OF it's
effect on party, and the vote of last
Tuesday furnishes incc n trovertible
proof that people believe them.-

Mountain City.

We understand that the bsllots for
Mountain City failed to arrive on
time and that no election was held
there ON Tuesday. The failure Of the
ballots to arrive ON time was not due
to any fault Of County Clerk Hender-
son or OF Sheriff Polk whose duty it
was to deliver the ballots aud boxes
to the different precincts. The bal
lots arrived here on the Oath OF o.
tober and as soon as they could be
made into parcels for the various pre-
cincts they were delivered to the
Sheriff for distribution. He, not
having time to deliver them personal
ly to each precinct, hired Joe McClay
who was down from Columbia, to
take them to Weiland's, Jack Creek,
Columbia, White Rock and Mountain
City. Deputy Sheriff Taber delivered
the ballots and boxes Tor Columbia,
White Rock and Mountain City to
Mr.. McClay on Monday, October 81
and for Weiland's and Jack Creek
on Tuesday, Nov. LIST, aud paid him
Sl5 for delivering them to the judges
OF election OF those precincts.
These are the facts OF the case No
we have learned them from Messra.
Henderson, Polk and Taher and from
which it will DO seen that no blame
oan possibly attach TO Mr.. Henderson
and that the Sherif's Office did the
basI it could do in the time at its dis
p ,sal.

THE Pennsylvania railroad is equip

THE Importance Of electricity on

that the new English battleship, Royal

hundred electric lights and thirty miles

A CANADIAN electrician states that
electricity causes the tides and demon
strates it by electrifying a rubber comb
by rubbing it through the hair and then
drawing it over the top of a glass filed
with water, the result being that the
tidal wave follows the comb.
IT is said that q man in Columbus, O.,

The apparatus is expected to entirely

Nine Desperate Criminals Break Out
Two Recaptured by the Sheriff.
BUTTE, JAM Especial. IA daring and sue
eessful jail delivery took place here about 8
o'clock this morning. Nine men escaped, in
GLIDING C. g. Price, who recently murdered his
cousin, P. ]. Cunningham. The others were
three professional safe-blowers, colored msn
who nearly killed q policeman recently, and
four highway robbers. While the jailer was
attending the fires in the basement the
men got away. Tho barking OF q dog awoke
Sheriff Lloyd, who rushed QUO TO the yard and
caught two OF the men, safe-blower and a
highhwsyman. The sheriff was barefooted in
the snow, but he held the men at bay. Seven
others scaled the wall By climbing over
the woodpile aad have not been captured yet;
though vigorous efforts are being made. An in
yestigation showed that the men had been pre-
pairing for escape for some time, and were sup
piled by outsiders with brace, drill, saws and
rope. They drilled through sixteen half-inch
steel rivets and filed the holes with soap. Nine
crowded into one cell when the iailer pulled the
lever which locked all the cells at once. Cell
No. 3. where the men were, was apparently all
right The big lever, however, was so
liked by the prisoners that il did not
lock their cell. They took the steel
lever out of its socket, the riyets having been
cut out, and used it to force an opening in the
chilled steel lattice work outside OF the corridor
made hole large enough, then lowered them
selves down the food elevator just outside the
cage, lowered themselves down the elevator
shaft to the kitchen. then reached the yard and
escaped. Today fourteen saws, a bottle of acid
and other tools were found in the cell. Rewards
have been offered for the capture of the men,
who are believed to be in hiding in this city.
There is not much chance for their escape, ex-
cept Tor Price, who has many friends.

NORTHWESTERN SINGLE TRUST.
All the Mills Join the Combine and
Prices VIII Be Maintained.

TACOMA, JAM 6.-Ispecial. 1.-The North Pacific
Consolidated Single Company's mill and the
shIngie mills that have heretofore been outside
OF the jurisdiction of the single trust were
represented at adjourned meeting OF the
shinglemen held this afternoon at the
office of the North Pacific Consol-
idated Single Company. At a meeting
held about month ago, il was stated that the
mills not represented in the trust did not take
kindly to the proposition to allow 10 per cent.
reduction on shipments OF fifteen car loads or
more.
A shingeman stated today to a correspondent
OF the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that a consolida-
ton OF all the shingle mills OF the Northwest,
including Oregon, would be effected if this
proposition among others of minor Importance
could be agreed upon. If the matter could not
be adjusted he confident that the trust
would explode and every mill would go it
alone and fix It's own prices.
At the conclusion of the meeting this evening
the shinglemen stated that they had nothing
worthy of publication to give They said they
would much rather nothing were said about the
meeting, inasmuch as they had not fully COM
pieted the plans which they had been working
on. Mr.. Woolly said:
The prospect for lively single trade this
season is excellent / think We have things
nxed so that we can do plenty of business and
make some money. The trust is not by any
means dissolved, but on the other hand, We
all together now ana progressing nicely. All of
the mills Will stand together. There will be no
reduction in the price OF shingles. One agree.
ment has been arrived at, but there is still an
other TO be made. Everything 10 satisfactory.

Tried to swindIe His Mother.

PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. Especial IA queer
story was made known today concerning the eff
fort of a Maynard son to get money from his
mother by pretending TO be dead. The chief of

ley, OF Fredericton, n. B., informing him that
her son, John Hurley, died here October Is, and
that she received telegram on the 18th from
one James Wilson, of Port Townsend, for 800
for funeral expenses. She asked in the letter
Tor full particulars of her sons death. An in
vestigation developed the fact that Hurley first
sent collect message to bis mother saying he
was dying, and asking her to telegraph him $40.
Hurley called many times at the telegraph Of
fee, but no answer being received, he sent
other telegram announcing his death, and
signed the name of James Wilson. Hurley is
