The New Ee;chstac,

Statistics have Just been published in
Berlin which give some interesting in
formation concerning the composition of
the new reichstag, so far as members
are concerned. 1t appears that so be-
long to the Evan gelical church, 1877 to
the Roman Catholic church, while 4 pro-
fess the Jewish creed. Three of these
latter are Social Democrats, the greater
majority of whom are designated as I'm
denominational. Rather more than one
fourth of the nfembers-namely, 102-
are of noble birth. The Social Demo
cratic party contains one of these, Herr
Won Vollmar, who was the only candi-
date of noble birth who was returned at
the late elections for the Bavarian diet.
About 100 different occupations are rep
resented in the new reichstag. Fore
most come the landed proprietors and
farmers, of whom there are 145. The
legal profession has 10 representatives.
Besides these there are, among others, 40
authors, 80 profe 5sional military men,
~ clergymen. IS burgomasters, pho
tographer, former secretary of state
Count Herbert Bismarck-and lastly
one master chimney, sweep.

Seeking Fortunes In the JohnstOwn Ruin.


While workmen Were taking sand ont
of the river bed near the stone bridge
they found the skeleton of a flood vic.
tim. A large number of men are at
work every day and also at night in the
bed of the river in a search for valu-
ables.
Local officers say that the craze has
reached such a pitch that the river bed
Is seldom deserted at any hour of the
day or night now, every find Of any
value being magnifed until the fever
has caught every idler in the place and
several who have given up steady en-
ployment at sure pay to seek their for
tunes among the remains of those who
lost their lives and belongings in the
food.
Some valuable finds have been made.
two of them during the last "a hours.
One man came upon a crock buried in
me sand, with its cover on, in which he
found IS solid silver spoons, 70 solid sill
Yer forks and a heavy silver cup inlaid
with gold. Another found a package of
gold eagles mixed with some s. gold
pieces, in all $3.50, wrapped in what was
either a wooden cloth or an old stocking.
which was rotted to a pulp in most
places. Three prospectors, who have
been digging in partnership. have taken
out spoons, forks, silverware, jewelrv.
vases and in several instances valuable
unbroken cut glass pieces, and have al
ready sold more than $500 worth of the
stuff to dealers in Pittsburg.
One Of the ghastliest mementos which
the finder is preserving as a relic is a
plain gold ring, close to the frame of

has long been gone, the ring being kept
ON by the finger being crooked and the
joint not having fallen apart at the an

The Kaftirs Thought 1t a Joke.

once took some Kaffirs from thei,
desolate island home in the Himalayar
gorges beyond the mountain ranges to
the more civil zed south. Like most
savages, they looked with stupid indif.
ference at the marvels about them, and
once only We're they excited by an Incl.
dent which opened their eyes to what
they considered a most extraordinary
and unnatural state of things.
They were descending a road when
one of them CHANGED to remark that he
was hungry, ard the English "sahib"
bought him some food at a wayside
shop. The Kaf1ir saw the money change
hands.
"How is this" he inquired in sur
prise. DO you have to pay for food in
this country"
Certainly"
what a country cried the man in
Amusement. Then after bordering
awhile he continued doubtfully: Sup
pose a man had no money in this coun-
try. He might starve:"
1T Is quite possible"
The Kaffir shook with uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the best joke he had
ever heard. He then explained the ride
ulous system to his companions, and they
roared in chorus.-"Where Three EN-

A BLOODY ARRAY.
One Negro Cut and Another Almost
Drained in a Fight.

A disgraceful fight occurred yes
terday afternoon about o'clock,
in which Lish Alexander and
George McCullom were badly
"done up" They were arrested by
Officer John Esterly.
About the hour above stated
McCullom, being very drunk, en-
tered AleXander's saloon on
Crockett street, and ordered a
drink. 1t is not known what took
place in the saloon, when the or
der was given, but what ever it
was lead to bloody fight. Nc
Cullom pulled out a large pocket
knife and stabbed at Alexander,
cutting a small cash in his neck.
Alexander then picked up a club
and with an awful blow,
struck the visitor over the
head, and on the right arm.
His arm was fractured just above
the wrist, and his head was split
open. When arrested and taken to
the Central police station, McCul-
lom was in a critical condition and
the blood was ooZing out rapidly
from the wound in the head. DR..
Menger, the city physician, was
summoned and took several
stitches in the head. The negroes
arm was doctored, and he was
given a bed in one of the cells of
the city Jail. Alexander gave a
800 cash bond for his appearance
in the recorders court.
