ALDER GCLCH MOMENTOES.
Souae Curious rfnds-A Franklin
Pierce Campaign Pipe.

Every now and then a reminder of
the early sixties is brought to light in
the second or third working over of
the auriferous deposits Of Alder Gulch.
A short tir1e since, H. S. Gilbert I'M
earthed one of the old style goose-neck
hooks, once so popular in hosting
buckets from drift diggings. 1t was in
good state of preservation.
The other day Mr.. Garrison washed
from his diegings neal Adobetown, a
red clay Franklin Pierce campaign to-
bacco pipe, President Pierce's phiz
being faithfully reproduced. The stem
had dropped off from decomposition,
but the bowl "a intact and contained
a large button of half smoked tobacco.
This little waif comes from ground
that was last mined in the year 1863.
consequently it must have laid saturat-
ed in iron and chloride of gold water
for the past thirty-two years.

MICH NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.
The County Court Es0use Undergoing
n Renovation.

The court house has undergone a
thorough renovation this week and
when the work is finished the struct-
r will be quite presentable. Limo
leum has been laid on the floors of the
principal Offices, the walls have been
whitewashed and the place cleaned up
SO that it now looks quite dressed up.
Several needed changes have been
made IN the recorders Office and the
Office force has been kept busy at this
much needed work all week. County
Clerk. Jones desires the Madisonian to
state for the benefit of those having
business with the Office that if returns
have not been made as promptly as
desired it is for the easOn that the
week has been devoted to house clean
ing, but that in the course of a few
days the Office will resume it's normal
functions.
A handsome antique oak counter has
been placed in the county ~treasurer's
Office, and in a few days Treasurer
Albright will be doing business by
the bank fixture route. Brass grill
work, similar to that usually used in
banks, will be put in place on the
counter, and in future taxes will be
paid through a cashiers window. The
appointments are modern throughout.
Clerk of the Court Duncan came in
for his share Of linoleum and paint.
but Notwithstanding the improvements
in his Office will be able to sell mar
riage licenses at the usual rate.

equate supply of water is necessary to
enable plaintiff to continue its work in
the future, and in order to obtain such
supply it is necessary to convey water
from Jefferson river at a point about a
mile below Iron Rod bidge to the base
of operations, and in so doing it is nee
essary for plaintiff to construct a canal
through the lands in which the de-
PENDANTS claim an interest, and the
plaintiff prays that the right Of way
for the canal be condemned and that

The big Parrot canal is almost com

have been built across the canal at all

being pushed rapidly.
Will Clark brings from Madison

Filing expects to make a success of it.
The mill has in the past proven very

B. Crooks and j. W. Morris, Mag
istrates, called meeting of the
Fiscal Court and in this call stated
that they deemed a necessity eeist-
cd for such meeting.
"The Court accordingly met on
Thursday, October IL, with Messrs.
II @. Howell, r. B. Crooks, j. w.
Morris and John Trimble present
At this meeting H. G. Howell was
elected Presiding Judge, and he
stated that the meeting was called
for the purpose of electing Treas
urer of the Sinking Fund. On
motion Mr. NJ S. Tyler was elected
Treasurer and gave bond with j.
C. Tyler, Mrs. Sallie A. Berry,
Smith Hansford, w. t. Tyler and
Lewis Apperson as sureties. Judge
Howell at once approved the bond
and the Court adjourned.
"This was the great necessity that
existed for a session of the Fiscal
Court while the County Judge was
absent. Comments unnecessary"
The above is from the Mt. SterI-
ing Gazette, headlines and all.
The Gazette thinks comment
unnecessary" nevertheless we shall
take occasion to comment just a
little. In the first place Mr.. j. T,
Highland is not one of the Sinking
Fund Commissioners. Mr.. David

ciple and as honest and upright

cat the last April term Of the
Fiscal Court of Montgomery
county, Messrs. j. III. Mason
j. L. Highland, and M. S. Ty-
Ter were elected Commissioners of
the Sinking Fund. At the same
meeting Mr.. H. c, Howell, a mem
Der Of the Court, made a motion to
appoint Mr.. NJ. S, Tyler Treasurer
of tho Sinking Fund. Judge
sO'Rear declined to put the motion,
holding that the appointment Of
the Treasurer was exclusively in
the Jurisdiction of the County
Court. Thus matters have stood,
Mr.. Tyler still holding the Office Of
Treasurer under former appoint
ment.
"About ten days ago Judge
O'Rear went to Indiana on a visit,
and then the Magistrates stole a
march on him. The law says there
shall be two sessions of the Fiscal
Court--in April and 0ctober-but
that special sessions may be called
by the County Judge, or in his alb
seRce by a majority of the Magis-
trates, wheaeger the necessity exists

man as Mr.. Highland, serves in his
place. And by the way just let us
say Mr.. Howell does not find any
thing in the way Of his serving
with Mr.. Tyler on that Board of
Sinking Fund Commissioners.
Again was the Gazette aware of
the fact that the Treasurer of the
Sinking Fund had come to the Fis-
cal Court and said to it, "If you,
any of you, think my bond INSULT
cient state the fact and you shall
be satisfied, as of right you should
be, with an ample bond"
lis the Gazette aware that it was
the County Judge, who was stand
ing in the way of the Fiscal Court
performing its duty2 Is the Ca
zette aware that the County Judge
was afraid to exercise the authori-
ty he tried to bull-d oze or cajole
the Magistrates into believing he
possessed, and failing in his efforts
to hoodwink the Magistrates, stood
square across the path of the
county's interest? Is the Gazette
aware of the fact that when this
same County Judge was asked by
one of the best men in the county,
and by the way Republican too,
to go out of the county and let a
special session of the Fiscal Court
be called for the purpose of unity
ing this tangle, the County Judge
replied, "Why they will elect Matt
Tyler and he don't speak to me-"
The great necessity" for imme-
date action is to be found in the
fact that there were moneys ready
to be paid the Treasurer of the
Sinking Fund and nobody ready to
receive them.

Mr. John II. Woodford's sale OF
saddle horses on Tuesday last was
well attended but prices realized were
not commensurate with the value OF
the stock sold. About forty head Of
horses changed hands, most OF them
young animals. The average price
realized was $40 per head, 1t seems
as if no class of horses to-day are con-.

ers in handling them. The stock ~

A Young Engineer Driven to Crime
Through Want of the heceSsa.
rieS of Life.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Driven apparently
desperate by lack of food and inability. to
support his wife and child, James Flower,
% years of age, an engineer, committed
highway robbery last night. When cap
tured he killed himself by swallowing some
prussie acid, which he carried on his per-
son.
Mrs. Margaret Forbes was near her
home at 13 East One Hundred and Twen-
ty-eighth street. She carried her pocket
book containing 50 80 in her hand. Flower
saw the purse and grabbed it. He ran
through One Hundred and Twenty-eighth
street toward Madison avenue.
David G. Reese saw the robbery and gave
chase. Reese overlook Flower and cap
tured him with the purse still in his hand
AS Reese caught Flower by the collar
Flower said: cts all up with me now. 1
did this for my wife and child"
Fumbling in one of his pockets, Flower
tossed something to his mouth and swal-
lowed it. He was taken to Harlem Hospi-
tai, and died five minutes after his re-
moval. On his body were two letters. One
was addressed to his mother. The other
was for his wife. The letter to the wife
read as follows:
Dear Minnie: I don't know how to write
this to you and baby, but 1 can struggle
no longer. have no work, can get no money
and know you viii be better off without
me. Forgive me, for 1 guess 1 am mad. can't
go home and face you to-day without money.
l had q job, but you know my right arm is no
good any more, as I cannot hold hammer in
my hand. have made up my mind to get out
of the world. l have destroyed everything in
my pockets, so no one will know who l am.
Kiss baby for me. Don'tforget to go to mother,
as wrote to her, Forgive me for this, and
good-by. JIM
The other letter reads as follows:
Dear Mother: write this to say good.by, as
have made up my mind to end my miserable
life. I am no good to any one. am without
money to get my wife and child bread Every
body would rather see me dead anyhow. For
Gods sake, don't think hard of Minnie for she
did everything she could. say good-by once
more. Forgive your wayward son.

Flowers body was much emaciated. The
doctors did not think the man had had any
food for twenty-four hours.
