A HEAVY CHARGE

Colorado Springs, March 21.-Solly, Nc
Closky and fremont McClosky, brothers,
arrested at Cripple Greek on the charge
of stealing ore from the Union ore gold
mining company, were brought to this
city and released after furnishing $4,000
bail each. The complaint alleges that
systematic stealing was carried on for
about one year and aggregates sum of
between $4,000 and 100000. The Nc
Closky brothers had a lease on the main
working of the Pixies Peak lode, which
they secured from the Union company
some time ago. The royalty on ore from
the lease dropped to very low figure and
the company began an investigation
which ended in the arrest of the brothers.
1t is claimed their method was to chip
of gold bearing rock from the quartz the
secured and subject it to process to get
the gold out of it. The ore they had sub
iected to this treatment was then, it is
charged mixed with common rock on the
dump and shipped to the shelters. Con-
sequently the smelter returns were not
half what they would have been had not
the greater part of the gold been cut out
of the quartz, the returns thus secured
were kept by the miners, who did no,
have to share in the profits.

MAKES THEM TIRED.
Mixers of the Seductive Cocktail Will
Have to Face the Music.

About dozen saloon keepers have been
arrested for violating the Sunday law and
many of them have four or five separate
case against them and some eight and ten,
and one man about a dozen cases.
1t is going to be pretty hard on some of
them, as it is generally understood there
will be no dismissals, but each case will
stand on its merits. 1t is contended that
the law has been knowingly, wilfully and
defiantly violated right under the nose of
the law makers and nothing is left for
the officers to do but to vigorously prose-
cute as the oaths of their Office impera-
lively demands. Therefore, it is said each
case will be prosecuted, and if some of the
indicted get stuck on all their fines and
costs it will sum up to anywhere from 500
to $500. The lowest in any one case is
about $40

DUN'S REVIEW.

New York, March Or. G. Dun Il
Co.'S weekly review Of trade will say:
Indications of improvement of business
grow more distinct The most obtrusiye
of them, the speculative advance in cot
ton and stocks, is the least reliable, nor
can either of these be said to reflect
actual improvement on business condi-
tons. Railroad earnings are scarcely
better and the speculation is largely
based on expectation of Il more effective
monopoly in coal and some other prod
ucts. London was buying largely but
is likely to sell on any rise. Cotton does
not rise because there is more demand for
goods, but there is more demand for
goods because cotton is dearer. More
valuable indications are that the volume
of domestic trade gains Il little more is
IN much better legitimate demand. The
rise in cotton to 6.31 still seems to have
scarcely any contact with the facts of
demand and supply, but had very sub
stantial basis, nevertheless. If, as some
maintain, more cotton had been sold in
this country for future delivery than
could be produced here until another
crop comes. American stocks were last
Friday 1,345 ,026 bales against /, 154,70
last year, with the general expectation
that something over 100000 bales will
yet come forward, while foreign stocks
than at this date for the crop of 1891.
Receipts continue large and the move
ment has really no other basis than a
belief that the next crop will be small.
The rise In wheat, which started with
the report of wheat in farmers hands,
has been followed by reaction of 2 1-4c
for the week.
Corn, after rise of 1-Sc, holds the
price of week ago, receipts being about
third of last years and exports insig-
nifcant. Pork has declined 25c per bar
rel and lard 10c per 100 pounds.

change of consequence is noted in the de-
mand for finished products. Copper con.
tinues weaker at 1925 for lake. American
production In February being 1920 tons
and foreign 6739, while tin has risen
sharply to $13.90 Lead is weak with
heavy sales, $500 tons domestic and
1000 to foreign takers, but tin plate
prices are reported n shade stronger.
The rise in cotton has stimulated buy
ing of goods and given confidence to
agents. Heavy transactions and some
advance in prices appear in Southern
coarse goods, but not as yet in the fines.

LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR JES-
TIERS EXCURSION.

Yesterday afternoon Lieutenant Cover
nor Jester invited the members and OH
GERS and their families, the reporters Tor
the press and the page Of the
senate and house to Join him
this afternoon at 2:30 D. N. in
an excursion up the lake from the darn.
He would not make this ir'tation X

the senate but as tomorrow would be

the purpose of affecting legislation that
the railroad companies should not have,
they are in effect given for no better
than intended bribery. He believed that
the bill was not only in the interest OF
the people and of good policy, but OF
the railroads themselves that they may
be protected. The condition of the .coun-
try is such that if the railroads are forced
to give passes to protect themselves from
unjust legislation, such a condition Is an
outrage and no better than blackmali-
ling.
Senator McComb again speaks. Sen
ator Bailey asked: DO you not know
as a matter of fact that every senator
but one on this floor has free passes?"
McComb-"I believe SO, but l am I'M
willing to make the concession that such
things have any influence upon the mem
bers of this body in matters of legisla-
ton"
Senator Stafford argued as to the mat
ter of appreciation and alleged gratitude
for such passes, that senators must GER
tainly have more regard for their CON-
stituents than to be Influenced by su0n'
consideration.
Senator Smith spoke again in reference
to the late excursion of members to Cal
weston, asked if they would have gone

have been any adjournment of the legis-
lature if the members had not been fur

that free passes would have any effect
upon them he wouldn't have them and for
this reason and because he did not be

By authority vested in me, l hereby
call a state convention of the growers
of cotton, lessons of land and furnish
ers of supplies for that purpose to take
such action as may be necessary to re-
duce the acreage of the cotton crop to
be planted this year, and to adopt such
measures as will tend to relieve the
general depression existing among the
cotton growers of the South. To meet
in the city of Waco, on the 18th and
Doth of March, 1895, at 10 O'Clock a. M
The county judges of the various coun-
ties of the state are requested to call
county conventions in their counties to
send delegates to said state convention
on Saturday, March %, 1895. Also to

ties until their county conventions elect

p. S. Special railroad rates and hotel
fare have been secured for this conven-

The Populists appear to be in favor
of the convention, and most if not all their
papers are advocating it. One OF the
Populist papers says the following ques-
tons VIII De ulscuSseu 1T Iie Coh 'Vii'i'"'
First-Reduction of cotton acreage.
Second-Freight rates on cotton to your

Travis county farmers are not taking
much stock in the convention and States
man reporters have failed to lind SIN
gle one who says he will attend. They ap-
pear to be too busy here getting in crops
and have no time to waste attending pOlit-
ical conventions, and that is exactly what
the Waco affair will be.

rHE ANTI.FREE PASS Bill.

The senate yesterday morning spent
some time in q lengthy discussion of Sen
ator Smiths anti-free pass bill, which
seeks to prevent railroad officials from
granting free transportation to any mem
Der of the legislature, railroad commits
municipal officer of the state The bill
makes the offense misdemeanor, subject
to fine from 500 to $500.
Senator Simpson offered a substitute,
providing that the secretary of state shall
issue free railroad passes to members OF
the legislature, judges of the higher courts
and heads of the state departments and
district judges during their terms of office.
Senator Smith spoke at length in favor
of his bill and in opposition to the substl-
tute.
Senator Bowser alluded to the substi-
tute as "a joke" and moved the previous
question.
Senator Simpson: at is no joke"
The substitute was lost and Senator
| McComb asked to spread a motion on the
| journal to reconsider, which motion was
called up and tabled at the instance of
| Senator Smith.
Senator McComb, under a proposition
to make the bill q special order for flu
| ture day. said the able argument of the
! senator from Denton had impressed him
with the idea that there was more i'm
portance in the measure than he had sup.
posed. There was something in the "ex-
change of courtesies" involved something
as he expressed it in "the Establishment
of smiles
Senator Smith, replying, argued that
this matter of exchange of courtesies
despite the gentleman's satire, was an
argument in favor of the bill.
Senator Presler Commended that the
free pass system was reprehensible. Such
passes have value and in the aggregate
a large value. If they are given for
the fhbustering element in this country.
