POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Democratic county committee
was to have held a meeting on Satur-
day at the arbitration room, but for
some reason there was a postponement
for two weeks. The present under
standing Is that the committee will
meet week from next Saturday. The
principal business to be transacted Is
to fix n time for the delegate elections
and county convention. Chairman
Smoulter was here and encouraged the
brethren with the assurance that the
Democrats will win great victory in
Luzerne this year.
Just as soon as the Appellate court
Rice will make pilgrimage to Harris
burg to make an appeal to the governor
to appoint Luzernes splendid president
Judge to the bench of the new court.
If the movement succeeds the next
thing will be to find man for Judge
Rice's place on the. common pleas
bench. In such an event there will be
a fine array to select from. There are
ex-Attorney General Palmer, Alexan-
der Farnham, Gaines s. Halsey, Lyman,
Fl. Bennett and half dozen more, any
one Of whom would make an admirable
common pleas judge.
T.. r. Martin tells his friends he does
not desire the Democratic nomination
for congress next year, but he would
not decline being a delegate to the
national convention of his party,

Letters recently received here from
Mr.. III. l. Hellman, the well-known
mining engineer, who left the Com
stock for South Africa about three
months ago, state that he is superin-
tendent OF a mine about 40 miles from
johannesburg and eight miles from
Heidelberg. The property Of which he
has charge is promising, although as
yet undeveloped. He is employed by
an English syndicate which, besides
paying a salary which in Amer
lea would be f~abulously large, supplies
him with a residence, carriages, horses,
servants, COWS, chickens and provis-
ions for the entire outfit. II is appar-
emily a very fine thing to be superin-
tendent OF a South African mine in
these days. From what Mr.. Hellman
writes it is to be seen that the condi-
ton OF affairs in South Africa is much
as il was on the Comstock in bonanza
days, only more so. It costs $50, 600
to build a fairly good dwelling house,
but 1t is judged that 1t is not a good
place for a laboring man to go, as all
the work is done by the Kafflrs at a
very low fgure.-Carson News.

A Boom for Our Neighbor.

President Stokes OF the Austin min
ing company has been here several
days examining the property of the
company, says the Reveille. and is
evidently well pleased. The property
must be paying nicely, for Mr.. Stokes
stated that he desired that 1000 men
be employed by the company in the
next fourteen months. At this decla-
ration he was asked il his purse would
meet the demands of the employment
of 1000 men, and his answer was,
eyes; put them to work and l will
furnish the money"
There are from SIS 900 to $4,000
paid out by the company now each
month. Over 20 men are employed,
and it is expected that the force will
be increased to 100 soon, and we are
quite reliably informed that as oon as
the tunnel is completed, which is now
into Lander hill over 5000 feet, that
the 1000 men will be employed by the
company. 1t is now expected that the
Clifton tunnel will be completed in six
months, and then, in six or eight
months after, we are promised the en-
ployment for 1000 men.

Hansen and Sc. clair Hanged.

A San Quentin dispatch OF the 18th
inst. says: Thomas st. Clair and Hans
Hansen, the murderers OF Mate Fitz-
gerald OF the Bark Hester, were hanged
in the left of the jute mill at San Quen-
tin prison at 2:04 O'Clock this after
noon. The executions we're witnessed
only by Marshal Baldwin four depu-
ties and twelve doctors. Newspaper
men and others were excluded in ac-
cordance with the wish said to have
been expressed by Hansen. Neither
Hansen nor st. Clair made a speech
on the gallows, and death in each case
ensued speedily. Hansen and st. Clair
spent the morning with Fathers LOGAN
and Gallagher.
Both men are said to have written a
statement Of their crime, but the o
tents of neither have been divulged as
yet. Hanson wrote a long letter to
Miss Ella Peterson Of San Jose, ayoung
woman who has shown him so much
attention during his imprisonment
also one TO his father. Marshal Bald
win refused to divulge the contents Of
these letters.

John X. Bergman, the oldest Of the
Bergman brothers, and well and ia
vorably known in this community,
died at the Hamburg mine last Satur-
day. He had been i'll some months
ago with pleurisy, but recovered and
went to work again. Last Thursday
he was again taken down with the
same complaint, but did not appear to
think seriously Of it, but last Saturday
morning was taken with hemorrhage
and died almost Immediately there
after. The deceased was a generous
man and always aimed to do we'll by
his fellow men. He came 10 the United
States about IA years ago from st.
Ives, Cornwall, England, and followed
his occupation Of mining on the lakes
and later in Colorado. He had resided
here since 1887 and made many friends
in the community. His death took
place at the age Of 80 years, and just
one year from the death OF his brother
James, which also occurred at the
Hamburg mine October 10, 1894. His
funeral took place from st. James
Episcopal Church and was well at
tended.

The DeLamar Mines.

A correspondent writes as follows
from DeLamar, Lincoln county: There
are more business houses, saloons and
idle men than the camp will support
for a year to come. The De Lamar
company is the only company..t that is
working any mines to amount to any
thing at present. No one should think
OF coming to the DeLamar mines n
less he has money. The company is
sinking a large well in Meadow Valley
Wash, and expects to increase the
water supply in the near future. A
large number OF men are now at work
on the pipe line, which will connect
with the well over the mountain, some
80 miles. The water will be pumped
through the pipe to the camp. The
present supply is totally inadequate
and is very poor water. The price is
two cents a gallon and hard to get.

II was decided by Carson people that
il was time for making a move con-
corning the securing Of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight, and Saturday the
wire conveyed Carson's offer of $4,000
for the contest, says the Tribune.
There was no difficulty in raising the
money, and as it seems to be settled
that the mill cannot come off at Hot
Springs, or in fact, Arkansas at all,
Carson sports think they have a very
good show for the fight. Should the
principals accept evada's offer a large
pavilion will be erected at the race
track.

The Phoebe Record says that a most
fiendish crime was committed at De-

punishment should be melted out to
the perpetrators. An Indian girl about
IL years Of age, after being made
drunk, was outraged and murdered.
Two Italians named DeLey and Mar

There are many varying ideas Of

that a soldier in the civil war-it mat

"And Abraham was very rich In
cattle, in silver and in gold."-13 Gen.
esis, End verse. This is the first men
ton Of money in the Bible. 1t will be
noticed that silver is mentioned before
gold. The next place where money ID
mentioned in the Bible is Genesis, 23d
chapter, 10th verse, al follows: "And
Abraham hardened unto Ephram and
Abraham weighed to Ephram the sill
yer which he had named in the audi
ence OF the sons Of Heth, 400 sheckelf
Of silver current money, with the mer.

Abraham's time silver was the current
money in use, his descendants living

ney of the old gentleman, which is
something like crucifying Christ the
second time.-Silver Knight.
