IN WALL STREET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The delay in announce ing the completion of negotiations for the ment operated against the stock market again today. There was no pronounced pressure to sell, however, and the decline which took place during the early hours of A to 2ls per cent was due to the desire on the part of the traders to accept profits, as well as to reduce their lines, to be in shape to take ad ' an- tage of new developments at Washington. There was also q tendency to restrain opera tions until the house disposed of the Springer bill. recovery in exchange, the posted rates of sterling having risen to $4.8S04. 69t2 , also had an influence.

Robert Jaggers brought the charge Of

state that the defendant borrowed the
gun that was originally his. but refused
TO return n. The defendant denies
any and an trades. claiming the gun
was his and that he only got his own

Bozeman Courier: From a conser-
vative standpoint the house was, per-
haps. not well balanced politically. the
republican majority being 80 large as
10 make Il somewhat extreme and arbf-
trary. apparently disposing IL at times
to ignore the rights and conservative
suggestions OF the minority. But that
in itself hardly furnishes ground for
either ill-tlmed or ifi-tempered criti-
cism, as similar results invariably fol-
low the sweeping ascendency OF any
political party. The only reasonable
safeguard against such probable ex-
tremes apparently lies IN a wise con-
stituttonal amendment. providing for
minority representation In the legisla-
tive branch OF our state government
Had such a PROVISION been incorpo-
rated into our state constitution. the
democratic party might have been rep
resented by rs or 20 members In the
house instead OF or 3. as the case
stood during the session OF last winter.

Not Wanted by Park County.

Livingston Post: In certain quarters
OF the state there IS a movement on
foot to persuade Governor Richards to
call the Legislature in extra session
this winter. The executive, however
has given 1t out fiatfooted that ne viii
not call the lawmakers together unless
such action is made absolutely neces-
sary by the courts picking larger holes
In the codes than they have already.
Two years ago there was considerable
extra-session talk by politicians inter-
ested On W. A. Clark's senatorial boom.
During the regular session OF 1898 sew
eral new counties were created, as was
the case last year. When the agitation
for the extra session became loud in
1894. II was shown that a very compli-
Gated condition OF affairs would arise
II the legislature were called in special
session. owing to the creation of the
new counties. that would have no rep
resentatives. although entitled TO rep
resentatlon. The way matters stand
in this county. II the legislature were
called together at the present time we
would not be properly represented.
Park county's senator now resides In
Sweet Grass county. one member OF the
legislature lives In Carbon county. one
in Portland. Ore. and one remains
close TO the Sweet Grass line but still
we believe in Park county. There Is no
question but what the people OF Liv-
ingston and neighborhood will thor
calling the lawmakers together unless

fact. the state would lose more by not
calling them together than the heavy
expense OF a special session would
amount to.

the complaint OF itself places the Hell

Ing that memorable capital campaign
the Helena papers persistently charged
that the Anaconda men were employ

they abused them with indignant hor-
ror. Ii now appears that II was the

Columbia Fails Cohlmbian: The talk
about the extra session OF the Montana
legislature has spread beyond the
limits OF the capital city and there
seems reasonable grounds FOR expecting
an extraordinary legislature. The

The Fair mt tho Fair Grounds.

An immense crowd was in attend
ance at Baptist fair at Fair Grounds,
last Tuesday, estimated at from 1900
to $500, and the program for the
most part as advertised. The sue
cessful knights in the tournament
were Mr.. B. G.. Walker, who selected
Miss Annie Causey, OF Leemont, as
"Queen OF Love and Beauty"-Mr.C.
G. Walker, who selected Miss Carrie
Morse as first maid of honor, and
Mr.. Sam Mock who selected Miss
Nora Wise as second maid of honor.
The coronation address by Hon. Thos.
M. Scott, was happy one, both in
substance and manner OF delivery.
In the bicycle race, the winners were
Geo. L. Winder, Jr., Vim. Bayly and
Jas Nelson, respectively. The base
bail game, an interesting and ex-
citing one, was won by Pungoteague
over Wachapreague by score of IS to
10. The speech of Rev J. r. Sturgis
was well up to public expectation
full of thought and sustaining well
his reputation as Il vigorous thinker
and graceful speaker. The exercises
during the day were interspersed
with excellent music by Cashville
Cornet Band. Receipts were 5000 or
more, with drama rendered at night
to hear from.

slajor Baker II. Lee.

MR.. EDIToR-By tacit consent, the
Democracy of Accomac has usually
allowed the party in Northampton
and Elizabeth City to designate the
lloater candidates from each county
respectively 1t is understood there
will be only one name presented by
Northampton, that of DR.. Charles
Smith, whose nomination is already
conceded. But it will be no discour
tesy to Elizabeth City to say that the
voice of the people on this side of the
bay is almost unanimous for Baker
P. Lee. 1t is authoritively under
stood that Major Lee will accept the
nomination if it is rendered him. 1t
is to be hoped, therefore, that the
services of SO able and distinguished
a delegate will again be secured to
represent Elizabeth City and Acco-
mac in the lower House. No public
man has cleaner and more honor
able record than Baker P. Lee, and
Accomac has always felt justly proud
to claim him as one of her represen-
tatlves. Always loyal to duty, wheth-
er in peace or war, his past legislas
tive record will show his intelligent
devotion to the best interests OF our
people. AS gentle as woman, but
as strong as lion in defence of his
convictions, he not only represents
the highest and best type of of a Vir-
ginia politician, but always that of
the polished, courtly Virginia gen
tleman. If Major Lee will accept the
nomination, it would be a manifest
injury, not only to the two counties,
but to the State, to lose his services
from the next General Assembly.

The Queen Hive Mill was destroyed
by fire Thursday night, August LIST,
about 70 o'clock. When the fire was
discovered the entire building was
enveloped in flames and so rapidly
did the building burn, that nothing
was saved excepting the lumber in

efforts of kind friends and neighbors
who worked with a will and thereby
prevented the fire from spreading to
the lumber yard, barns, stables, sc.

cured the ice, and put his bag down
for awhile to rest While he was en-
gagged talking, one of the boatsmen
