of the state of Nebraska this afternoon
at 8 o'clock. The inauguration cere-
monies were of the simplest and most
Informal character. In fact there was
but little of the ceremonial in the pro-
ceedings. The two houses met in joint
convention shortly after o'clock,
Governor Crounse left the Hotel Lin
coin in a carriage accompanied by Ad-
jutant-General Gage. They drove to the
Lindell Hotel, where they met Cover
nor-elect Holcomb, and escorted him to
the capitol. The gubernatorial party
remained in the executive apartments
until notified by the committee from the
Joint convention that the legislature
was prepared to listen to the message
of the outgoing governor.
The galleries and lobbies Of represent
tative hall were packed with the
throngs of people long before o'clock.
Governor Crounse's message was of
more than usual length and occupied
more than an hour in its delivery.
After he had finished a committee
escorted Chief Justice Norval to the hall
and the oath of office was administered
to Governor Ho,comb and the other
state officers. Governor Holcomb then
proceeded with his inaugural message,
which was listened to with the closest

A CREW OF DEAF MurEs.
lProvidenee Lo11rnal-]


The schooner Mary and Belle is
probably the only vessel in the world
that is manned by crew that is deaf
and dumb. The schooner is not a
large vessel, by any means, being
about seventy feet long, but she is e
neat-looking craft, and her decks
spars and rigging look in much better
condition than those OF many other
vessels whose crews can speak the
language to the queens taste. The
captain Of this craft, George Bennett,
is most intelligent-looking man. APP
parently so years old. He is alive to
all that is going on around him, and
seems to enjoy his silent and speech
less life.
The Crew" Charlie Malone, is also
deaf and dumb. These two deaf and
dumb men manage the staunch
schooner Mary and Belle admirably.
They are always on the lookout, and
sleep with one eye open, as good sail
ors always should. When they are
caught in heavy squalls the captain
cannot Shrek out his commands, but
simply attracts his mans attention by
a whistle, and then tells him what he
wants by signs, while he sticks to the
wheel.

Washington, Jan. 3.-When the lists
LOT names of guests at the presidents
dinner to the cabinet was given out
this evening, the appearance among
them of the name of Senator Hill, of
New York, was received with incred-
utility. There has been no intimation
that the New York senator was to be
present and when it became known
about town that Mr. Hill was the
guest of the president, the fact was at
once the subject OF the greatest spec
|ulation. There had been rumors that an
understanding had been reached be-
tween the president and Mr.. Hill. but
the presence of the latter at the White
House tonight was the first tangible
evidence that the runors were proba-
bly, authentic. But once during this
administration has Mr.. Hill been with.
lin the portals OF the executive man
sion. That tirne was after the arrival
of Senator Murphy and the two New
York senators appeared at the White
House together, but the best inforrna-
ton is that they did not see the presi-
dent at that time. The president and
Mr.. Hill met in general assemblage be-
fore dinner began and their meeting to
every appearance was one of extreme
cordiality. They remained together
for some minutes in close conversation.
Mr.. Hill escorted Mrs. Hearst to the
dining hall.
Senator Hill tonight declined to dis
cuss his presence at the White House,
saying it was a, purely social visit and
had no political significance and con-
sequently he did not feel at liberty to
talk on the subject. Nevertheless, his
attendance will be mark for political
gossip for some days to come. 1t is IN
derstood that Mr.. Hill was invited to
the last cabinet dinner but declined.

Crime In Sacramento.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. S.-The peo-
pie of Sacramento have determined to
rid themselves of the horde of crimi-
nails and tramps who have been hold
ing a carnival of crime in the city for
weeks past. Three brutal murders,
the object of which was robbery, nu-
merous murderous assaults to rob and
innumerable burglaries have served to
arouse the people to their danger. At
a meeting of the city board of trustees
today it was ordered that all saloons
be closed at midnight and not allowed
to open until o'clock in the morning,
that the licenses of numerous disrep-
utable resorts be revoked and that all
known criminals and tramps be driven
from the city by the police authorities.
The arrest of every man who has no
visible means of support was ordered
The police force has been increased
by over fifty citizens who volunteered
to serve as special officers and a still
further increase will be made. The
police have orders to arrest every man
found on the streets after midnight
who cannot give satisfactory account
of himself. In fact, a semblance of
martial law has been inaugurated. A
citizens committee of safety has also
been formed, and it is intimated that
repetition of the reign of early Cali
fornia vigilantes may follow if the out
laWry of the past few weeks does not
cease.

SILVER FOR MEXICO.

New York. Jan. s.-M. Guggenheim,s

Mexico, for coinage by the Mexican gov

which would make the transportation OF

JUDGE HOFFMAN, with beautiful fig
ures OF speech and voice full of emotion,
has said that our Freehoders ''are all.
all honorable men," but Freeholder Pow
elson is so mad that he won't believe it.
Neither does James Nelson. the City
Club and an army of voters in Middlesex.
Judge Hoffman made his closing argu-
ment in the case before the Commissions
ers on Tuesday, consuming most of the
day. 1t was mastery plea, full OF
pretty figures, convulsing anecdotes and
general speciousness. The eloquent judge
raised hurricanes only to show how easily
he could bring peace to the troubled
waters; he made charges of straw only to
numerically pull them to pieces. But
the main charges, the hard places in the
evidence, the judge skipped lightly over
as gracefully as young miss with her
first skipping rope. A lawyers plea is
a lawyers plea-not always law or fact,
and so with others, we hope the Com
missioners may see through some of the
arguments and visit few of the offend
ing ones as they deserve. Lawyer By
ington, counsel for the City Club, simply
submitted the record without argument,
by agreement with the Club, though in a
few words he scored Judge Hoffman for
trying to make it appear that the Cuu
begrudged the money paid for the burial
of the soldier dead. He said the Club
was only trying to protect the county
from the stealing of paltry two dollars
which some guilty Freeholders sought to
take over the graves of the soldiers. The
lawyer spoke feelngly and eyinced an
ability which made some regret that he
did not continue. The Commissioners
impressed us as being gentlemen of excel.
lent mind and great fairness. They will
close their laDors this week and submit
their report to Chief Justice Beasley.

OUR American slaves have again ie-
belled. Brooklyn suffers by the present
insurrection. We see clearly the wrongs
of oppression and sympathiZe with the
suffering even though they deserve chas-
tisement. yet it is difficult to respect men
who continue year after year to put in
power a government which discrimin-
ates against them, and then try to gain
by force what would come as the natural
result of supporting an honest govern
ment.
Their folly seems to be incurabie.
Though starved, insulted, fined, impris-
oned and shot down today, at the next
election they come up smiling and vote
the same parties into power and the same
men to office. 1t seems scarcely worth
while to waste sympathy on men so far
gone in madness.
But their madness may be dangerous
after all, and their masters would do well
to consider that there is a limit to the
submissive endurance of the most abject
slaves. There comes a time when the
crushed worm turn IS and stings; and that
time may not be far distant.-The Church
Militant.

Fourth Page-Editoria.
Fifth Page-Jamesburg News.

Seventh Page-Story continued.
Eighth Page-News from Surrounding

We hope our subscribers Will ike the
changed form of the paper, as it gives
them great deal more for their money
and costs us considerably more money to
produce it. The continued story isa new
feature and one which should become
popular. The writer, \. Conan Doyle,
is one of the most famous English writers
