WELT0N HAS TWO WIVES,
Bigamy Committed With the Full
Consent of the First
Spouse.
Peculiar Matrimonial Arrangements
to Which No Objection
Is Made

WATKINS, n. Y, Dec. 16.-A strange
condition of matrimonial affairs obtains at
North Hector, a small place few miles
up Seneca Lake from here. Lyman B.
Welton, who is we'll advanced in years,
formerly resided in Moravia, where he
now has living wife and two daughters
Last spring he went to North Hector to
work. He appeared to be an active in
dustrious man and was especially inter-
ested in G. A. R. affairs.
He became acquainted with Mrs. Libbie
R. Faussett an estimable widow, mem
Der of the Methodist church and active in
church affairs. He and Mrs. Faussett
were constantly in each others company,
though Welton had fully made known to
the community that he was a married
man with wife and family at Moravia
The community is now shocked by the an
nouncement that Welton and Mrs Faus-
sett have been married, and still more
amazed on learning that Welton had writ
ten his wife at Moravia that he was going
to marry again.
Mrs. Faussett said she married Welton
with full kno Wedge Of the circumstances
Mrs. Welton No. offered no objections to
the proposed wedding. She is spiritual
ist, and her belief has estranged her hus-
band and herself, and for long time they
had not lived together. Welton thinks he
has committed no moral wrong, and if he
has transgressed legally says he is willing
to take the consequences. He wrote to his
daughter in Moravia of his marriage, ana
she replied, saying she was sorry he was
going to live with them no longer, but
hoped he would be happy with his new
wife.
Mrs. 81. R. Wolsey of Auburn, a sister
OF the first Mrs. Welton, wrote to Mr..
Welton kind sisterly letter saying she
hoped he would be happy with his new
love, as he had been a kind brother, and
deserved better treatment than he had
had. She also wrote Ms. Faussett saying
she would be glad to welcome her to her
home. Welton still continues to provide
for family No. 1, sending them money and

COLORADO STOCKS FIRM.
General Indications of an I'm
proved Condition in the
Markets.
New Companies Enter the Field and
Are Doing Business on Whole
sale Scale.

DENVER, CoLo., Dec. 16.-The mining
stock market strengthened little to-day
and gives indications of improving in tone
during the week. The dealing was gen.
eral in the high priced stocks and prices
were we'll maintained. A new company
placed its stock upon the market and 400,-
OnO shares were absorbed by spectators
desiring to make a quick turn. Another
Mining stock Exchange for Cripple Creek
was incorporated to-day. Omaha people
have organized company to generate and
transmit electric power throughout the
Cripple Creek district to customers desir-
ing to avail themselves of cheapened
power. Such power supply has been in
operation in the Telluride district for years,
working to excellent satisfaction.
An English company, the Cripple Creek
Exploration Syndicate, has been selling in
London it's stock at good prices, but up to
this time the syndicate has had no Cripple
Creek properties to it's credit. 1t has an
option on a bond and lease held by Estey
and Mudd on the Lucky Gus, paying
$4,000 cash on an option for $4,000
Estey and Mudd are to pay the Wilson
Creek Consolidated Company 100000 for
the property on February "a next. The
London people pay an advance OF $4,000
on this bond and are to make a second
payment on February 1, providing they
decide to take 1t after an examination has
been made. The Lucky Gus is now pro-
ducing about $40 900 gross month. The
stock OF the Wilson Creek Consolidated is
held entirely by Buena Vista people, who

ON PACIFIC RAILROADS.
Secretary Carlisle Asks Prompt Action
bV COu1reSs.

Secretary Carlisle Asks Prompt Action
by Congress.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 16.-Secre-
tary Carlisle has recommended to Congress
that it take action on the maturing bonds
of the Pacific railroads, which Congress up
to now has failed to do. He says: Nothing
has yet been accomplished in this direc-
ton. The affairs of the companies are
approaching a condition which will
seriously embarrass the executive official
charged with general supervision of the
matter, and will almost certainly result in
great loss to the Government unless
avoided by prompt action on the part OF
Congress.
'Slnce the report referred to was made
bonds for 81, 1852 900, issued to the Central
Paclf1c, and $640 900, issued to the Kansas
Pacific, have matured and have been paid
by the United States. On the LIST of Janu-
ary. 1896, more bonds will mature, viz. !:
y, 500 600 issued to the Central Pacific and
$64O,OOO issued to the Union Pacific. On
the 1st of February, 1899, other bonds
issued to the Union Pacific for 1870, 900
become due. The sinking fund of the
Union Pacific amounts to $15, 346, O37 81.
The total amount on the LIST of January,
1889, is $64 ,023, 5l3, exclusive of interest.
ut Is evident that unless an adjustment
be made under act of Congress the pay
ment OF this sum with accruing interest
must be provided for within the time
named. If the property of the companies
be unfortunately forced to sale under fore
closure proceedings before further proyi-
slons be made by Congress to protect the
interest OF the Government by increasing
its security or otherwise, no public official
with legal authority now conferred by law
will be able to save any considerable part
of this large claim.
Congress alone has power to determine
the manner in which this important sub
lect shall be disposed>of. 1t is hoped that
such legislation as it may deem necessary
and proper be enacted at an early day.

George TayIor's Devotion Caused the
Building of n Church.

george IdytOT'S Devotion Caused the
Building of n Church.
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa, Dec. 16.-There
was dedicated yesterday at Hepburnville
as unique Presbyterian church as exists
anywhere in the State. 1t is beautiful
stone structure. Not only were the walls
laid up by one man, but he also hewed out
the stones from great powders on the
Brobst Mountain. He labored more than
six years, never drawing pay for his work,
and when he died recently he bequeathed
his unpaid wages to the church.
This heroic stonemason was George Tay-
Tor, and in the church he reared is pretty
memorial window erected by a grateful
congregation for the aged and untiring
builder. The congregation OF the church
is composed mainly of well-ro-do farmers
and their families. The church is 60x3S
feet, with square tower sixty feet high.
About year ago, when he had just
about finished the tower and his long La Dor
seemed about to end, Taylor grew i'll. His
hammer and chisel were laid aside and
they were never again taken up by him.
He was about 20 years of age and died OF
cancer. When Taylor died will was
found in which the story of his devotion
to the church was made complete. All his
wages, amounting to many hundred dol
lars, was bequeathed to the congregation.
There remained small debt, which was
practically wiped out yesterday by those
who gathered in the pretty house OF wor-
ship to see it dedicated.

obtain information on the subject he had
written Secretary Smith several letters. to
which he had received no reply. He had
also written the Commissioner OF Indian
Affairs, who replied that the matter was
in the hands of Secretary Smith, but could
give no further information. He had
made every effort to ascertain what de-
layed the carrying out of the law and had
now brought the matter to the attention
of the House.
In conclusion Flynn said that there had
never been, since the foundation OF the
Government, a Secretary of the Interior
who had devoted less time to his public
duties than had Secretary Smith, "who
was parading around the country chang
ing his mind on the money question"
The resolution was then agreed to.
Tomorrow was set apart for the consid-
Grafton of amendments to the rules of the
Fifty-third Congress so as to permit an
enlargement of the list of committees and
an increase of mem bership thereon.
A bill was passed to legalize certain prac-
tees in vogue of importing fish and pack
ing them in bonded warehouses for export.
Unsuccessful attempts were made to
have printed in the Record various memo
rails and petitions on the Cuban and Ar
menian questions.
Bull (R.) of Rhode Island and Cobb (D.)
of Missouri were appointed additional
members of the Accounts Committee.
The annual report of the Secretary OF
the Treasury was received. The House at
40 O'Clock adjourned.
Among the bills introduced in the House
to-day were the following:
By Long (R.) of Kansas, granting to the
State of Kansas, as an addition to the
Soldiers Home. the abandoned Fort Dodge
military reservation.
By Barholdt (R y of Missouri, providing
for the registration of trademarks on bot

who performed military service.
By Hull (R.) of Iowa. appropriating
$4,000 for military post at or near Des

Commissioners and Others Await
Upon the Chief
Executive.
UTAH PEOPLE CONGRATULATED.
The President Promises to Give the
Matter His Immediate
Attention.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 16.-Colonel
Isaac Trumbo of Salt Lake City called at
the White House this morning to see the
President concerning the issuance of the
proclamation admitting the Territory of
Utah as State of the Union. The enab-
ling act passed by Congress, under which
the Utah people proposed and ratified
State constitution, provided that the Utah
Commissioner election board under
the Edmunds anti-polygamy act-should
certify to the President the result of the
vote on the constitution, and that the Ter
ritory should become a State on the first
Monday after the proclamation was issued.
The President congratulated Colonel
Trumbo and the Utah people upon the
progress they had made. He said he would
be happy to receive the delegation, but
would like to postpone the hearing until
Wednesday, but upon Colonel Trumbo' s
statement that delegation of Utan's citi-
zen's were here and wished TO accompany
the members of the Utah Commission, the
President decided to receive them at II
o'clock to-day.
At that hour the Utah men proceeded to
the White House in body. Besides Utah
Commissioners J. r. Letcher and Hoyt
Sherman Jr. the party included Governor
Caleb West, Colonel Trumbo, Delegate
Frank j. Cannon, John w. Burton and
others.
Commissioner fletcher presented to the
President copy of the enabling act of
Congress and a copy of the new constitu-
ton. He said:
''By direction of the Utah Commission
we are here to present to you the constitu-
ton ratified by the people and to ask at
your hands, Mr.. President, the considera-
ton which it demands"
The President responded as follows:
II congratulate Utah upon the progress
that has been made. There has been a
great change of sentiment in Utah during
the past few years. l will examine the
documents which are placed in my hands
to ascertain if the requirements of the law
have been complied with and will give the
matter of issuing a proclamation my i'm
mediate attention"
Secretary Thurber congratulated the
Utah delegation and Colonel Trumbo
especially on the happy result of his efforts
to secure Statehood for Utah. The dele
CATION left the White House believing
that the proclamation would be issued
about the 1st of January.

Delegate Flynn Objects to the Secretary's
System.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 16.-The
session of the House lasted an hour and
forty minutes and was devoted chiefly to
routine business. Delegate Flynn of Okla
homa offered resolution, which was
adopted, calling on the Secretary of the
Interior for the reasons why that official
had not, in accordance with the law,
thrown open to settlement the Wichita
Indian reservation in Oklahoma, and in
quiring whether any of Secretary Smiths
relatives were interested in delaying the
time of its opening.
In explaining his resolution Flynn said
that the last Congress had passed law
directing the opening of the reservation of
the Wichita and affiliated bands OF Indians,
and the Secretary of the Interior, so far as
he (Flynn) could learn, had done nothing
in the matter. Atleast it had not been done
as the law plainly directed, and he wished
to know the cause of the delay. 1t was a
known fact in Oklahoma that Hoke Smith
had lot of relatives who were profiting
by the delay. They were acting as attor-
neys for the Indians. Flynn had to-day
seen contract by which man was to
receive $27O0 if he could prevent Secretary
Smith from ratifying the agreement.
Cooper CD of Florida defended Secre-
tary Smith, characterizing Flynn's re-
marks as extraordinary. Usually the
gentleman from Oklahoma exhibited
proper ideas of decency in addressing the
House, but he had sadly failed to-day.
Flynn. he thought, had INDUCED in Ian
guage regarding Cabinet officer unbe-
coming member of the House.
Flynn, replying to Cooper, admitted
that he had some feeling in the matter.
e EXPLAINING this, he said that last summer
he had come 100 miles to see the Presi-
dent to find out why Secretary Smith had
not complied with the law. He made sew
eral attempts to see the President, but
failed. He saw Private Secretary Thurber,
who told him to drop the President note.
He did so and waited a week for reply,
but received none. He tried again to see
the President and failed. In his effort to

the Joke.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 16.-The
police are confident that the so-called
bomb lett on the Spanish Minister'S
doorstep Sunday morning was a harmless
affair, but they are searching for the
perpetrator of the hoax. The package was
a common pasteboard box, partially filled
with crushed coal, some granular sub
stance like sugar and two WORKOUT zinc
sticks from gravity battery. The fuse
was merely slip of twisted paper, which
was not burning when the Eutler dis
covered the package, but which had ap-
parently been ignited at one time.
While Minister Dupuy de Lone had no
idea the affair was explosive, he Is opposed
to such jokes, and is anxious for the police
to catch the offenders in order that there
will be no repetition of the affair. The
police place it on a par with the alleged
internal machine sent to Chief Justice
Fuller some time ago, which simply con-
sisted of Illuminating powder and shoe
backing.
