Lively Council Proceedings-The Paving
Again.
PASADENA, Aug. A.-The city council
met In regular session at2 O'Clock this
afternoon, ali members present. A
large delegation Of property owners and
citizens were present to see the outcome
OF the paving muddle, and we're well en-
tertained without doubt.
Mr.. Walker. representing the Perine
Paving company of San Francisco. was
present and addressed the board in re-
lation to the refusal of the company to
sign the contracts for paving Raymond
and Fair Oaks avenue. Mr.. Walker
stated that owing to errors in the coun-
Gil proceedings his company was OF the
opinion that they could not collect their
money, and for this reason asked that
they be allowed to withdraw their bid
and have refunded to them the $4,000
put up for the faithful performance OF
the work. Mr.. Walker put in a plea
that NO hasty action be taken by the
board to throw the matter into the
courts, as his company was more than
willing to carry out the work had there
been any chance OF collecting their
money under the erroneous proceedings
of the council. He stated that under
the terms of the bid the paving COM
pany would have cleared very nice
profit, and that insinuations that the
company had not acted in good faith
were groundless.
Attorney Jones addressed the meeting
In behalf OF the paving people. He
stated In answer to the published asser-
tion OF the city attorney that the first
resolution ordering the work had never
been rescinded; that the work had been
done by motion and not by resolution,

A Tragedy Mt Hampton.

HAMPTON. VA, Recommendations
siderable excitement was caused Sun
day by the killing of L. D. Milstead
by John Turner. The affair occurred
at McMenamin's crab factory, located
Just outside of the town of Hampton.
1t seems that the parties were occupy
ing q room together, and that Turner
was using his pocket knife to cut
some kindlins wood, when Milstead
became suddenly offended at some
remark of his companion>and sprang
upon Turner and began to bite his
face severely. Turner, in his effort
to free himself from his assailant,
accidentally, it is claimed, stabbed
Milstead, sevcring one of the large
arteries OF his neck. The serious
nature of the wound was soon dis
covered and physician sent for, but
before medical assistance arrived
Milsted was dead.

The election returns are in and
none from any of the States, in
which general elections were held,
are satisfactory to the Democrats,
except those in Virginia. The three
other States, Massachusetts,, Iowa
and Ohio, not only cast their votes
for Republicanism, but in manner
so decisive, that some wonderful re-
action must take place before they
can be classed again in the list OF
doubtful States. With the over
whelming majorities cast by these
States against US, very little comfort
can be derived from the fact, that
Massachusetts aud Iowa for the past
two years have had Democratic Gov
ernors, and surely there is nothing
in the vote of Ohio to console us, if the
election in that State last year was
close enough to give Mr.. Cleveland one
of the electoralvotes. NorwaS Repub-
licanism less triumphant, if Mary
land and Kentucky are excepted, in
the States in which minor elections
were held. New York, which was
claimed last year as having been so
securely Democratic for the next
twenty years has elected Republi-
canlegislature Pennsylvania vote

can majority. New Jersey hereto
fore the stronghold of Democracy too
is in line on the Republican side and
elected majority of twenty-four
over the Democrats in the Legisla-
ture. Such the facts, and they show
SO many victories for the Republi-
cans, that very little is left for the
Democrats to be thankful for except
that the present is an off year in pol
itics, and that time enough is left
them before another presidential
election to correct the mistakes of
bossism, ringism and mastery mac
tivity" to which they attribute their
defeat in so many States.

Coinage of Silver Dollars TO be Resumed

WASHINGTON, November 3.-The
Treasury Department to-day order
ed the Superintendent of the minis
at San Francisco and New Orleans
to resume the coinage suspended
some time ago) of standard silver
dollars. 1t is for the purpose of
utilizing the seignorage that the
coinage of standard silver dollars is
resumed. The expectation is that
about one and half million can be
coined at once. which will give the
Treasury seignorage of about five
hundred thousand dollars. 1t is the
intention of the Treasury Depart
ment, as the other minis become
clear of gold coinage, to have them
also coin silver, and thus increase
the coinage from $3,500,00O to 3d.
500, 900 per month.

AGES AT WHICH MEN MARRY,
The Era of Ma:rimony Governed by the Va
rious Occupations of Men.


rious Occupations of Men.
Statistics show tina: law of chances governs
IN the vast majority Of cases the ages at which
men marry who are engaged in certain occupa-
tions, says the New York Ledger. Workmen
and artisans take unto themselves wives at an
earlier age than those whose vocations are Of q
more intellectual kind. Thus miners, textile
factory hands, laborers and artisans marry at
an average of twenty-five years. Of these the
miners first in the field, more than 100 of
every 1000 Of them securing wives before they
have become of age. Workers in textile fabrics
run them close; then come shoemakers and
tailors. and they are followed by artisans and
laborers. Farmers and farmers sons consider
twenty-five early enough. Commercial clerks
seek the pleasures OF matrimony at twenty-six.
Shopkeepers and shopmen postpone the rapture
a little while longer. Professional men and
gentlemen of independent means rarely care to
cucumber themselves even with SO delightful a
burden a wife until they hare toed tine line
OF over thirty years Though the rich marry
at a more ripe age than the working fraternity,
they continue marrying until long after the
last named have ceased to wed. Whereas four
teen miners and twenty-five artisans in every
1000 marry between the ages of thirty-ive and
forty, nearly 100 of the professional and inde-
pendent class do. 1t is explained in this
way: The rich like to see something Of the
world and Its pleasures before settling down
to sober matrimony. A laborer has neither
desire nor opportunity for it.
