A BRIDE OF AN HOUR.
A Young Wall Street Broker Welded
 on His Deathbed.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Howard E. Benedict, young Wall street broker, and son of James H. Benedict and a nephew of E. 0. Benedict, the banker and personal friend of President C1eye- land, died yesterday, few hours after he had married Miss Margaret Lloyd, 6 society belle of Cincinnati.
 MT. Benedict had become engaged to Miss Lloyd in March. When it became known few days age that MT. Bene- diets condition was critical. a telegram was sent to Miss Lloyd. She reached the city yesterday.
 Soon after, in com pany with physl elan, she went to the bedside of Mr. Benedict. He was sinking fast and it was at his earnest request that the mar rlage ceremony was performed. MT. Benedict seemed to rally after the mar rage, but toward noon he became worse and after that sank rapidly until he died.

SPEED OF INSECTS.
Naturalists Say They Can Fly as Fast as
 S1.6.


 Birds.
 It is popular belief that the flight of birds is much swifter than that of in- sects; but number of naturalists who have been making study of the matter think that such is not the case.
 A common house fly, for example, is not very rapid in it's flight, but it's wings make 500 beats second, and send it through the air 25 feet, under ordinary circumstances, in that space of time. When the insect is alarmed, however, it has been found that it can increase it's rate of speed to over 100 feet per second. If it could continue such rapid flight for a mile in a straight line it would cover that distance in exactly 33 seconds. It is not an uncommon thing, when travelling by rail in the summer time, to see bee or wasp keeping up with the train, and trying to get in at one of the windows.
 swallow is considered one of the swiftest of flying birds, and it was thought until recently that no insect could escape it. A naturalist tells of an exciting chase he saw between a swal- low and dragon fly, which is among the swiftest of insects. The insect flew with incredible speed, and wheeled and dodged with such ease that the swallow. despite it's utmost efforts completely failed to overtake and capture it.-Phila- delphia Record.

LAVA CAVES,
Curious Formations Produced by the Cool
 ing of Molten Masses.

Ing OI uOlCou hdSsoSs
 The formation of caves in a lava stream is a curious process, and one which the explorer in the Azores will be interested to realize as his investi- gations proceed, and in these islands it has some remarkable and perfect illus trations. It will be understood, says Outing, that the stream from volcano soon begins to cool externally as it travels, but with a great stream, say 30 or 40 feet thick, long time passes be- fore it becomes finally cooled and solid to it's center. A large body of melted lava still remains liquid in it's interior, forming, as it were, huge conduit or tube full of the white hot matter. As this accumulates by the continued sup ply from above the vast pressure of the liquid on the lower end of the stream increases. The effect may be easily i'm agined. The solid crust at the front of the flow breaks out; the melted interior rushes on again and the great tube is emptied of it's contents so far as they remain liquid, leaving behind hollow cavern which may, and occasionally does, extend for an uninterrupted length of several miles. In the course of centuries subsequent eruptions may deposit new beds of cinder or ash streams of lava to any extent above it, but the cave so formed may remain in- tact.

An old man was struck by the Oro-

matter until the train neared him, when
the whistle sounded, but with no re-

evidently instantaneous.
The body was brought to this city

AT TURNER HALL.
T. V. Gator Talks to a Small, But
Enthusiastic Crowd.

The Democrats and Populists held
a meeting at Turner Hall last night,
which was addressed by T. V. Gator,
candidate for United States Senator.
The attendance was small, but all
present were exceedingly enthusiastic.
One man got out in the aisle when
Gator arose to go upon the platform
and danced jig. all the time whooping
for Gator.
The meeting was called to order by
City Trustee Mckay, who introduced
Judge Cravens as Chairman. The Judge
made a short speech on assuming the
chair. saying-just as he did twenty or
thirty years ago-that the present cam
raign was one of the most important
In the history of the nation. And it
might be added that the Judge is just
as enthusiastic Democrat as he was
then. He never switches from the main
track.
Mr.. Gator was received with a great

WHY ELECT JOHNSON.
All Voters in This District Ought to
be i'm His Favor.
(From the Oroville Register.)

(trom the OrOVille RegiSter.)
Next to the election of a Republican
President comes the election of mem
bers of Congress, for one without the
other cannot carry out the wishes Of the
people.
We advocate the election of Grove l..
Johnson because he has done more than
any other Representative for this dis
trlct, and because he is working for the
very things his constituents require. He
is in favor of tariff, while is opponent is
for free trade. We need protection on
our oranges. our prunes, lemons, olives,
olive oil, ON our wool and our lumber,
all of which are produced very largely
in this district.
He is fn favor of putting a stop to
further foreign immigration and this
concerns every laboring man in our
Nation
In his speech in Chico the Enter
prise" reported him as saying:
congressman Johnson, whose Amer
icanism is well known, announced from
the platform on Monday night that If
reelected to Congress he would from
first to last use his utmost endeavors to
stop the immigration to the United
States of those foreign laborers and
criminal element who are now over
running America and competing with
the work of American laborers."
He was the first man in Congress to
make bold and determined stand upon
this point, and his great speech on for
eign immigration was read with eager
ness in all parts of the United States.
In the matter Of river Improvements
he t1,or nfh vxrtoo
was ever sent from this district, and
this should be remembered on election
day.
On another important matter the
Grass Valley '"TMings" says: He has
advanced into the light of coming sue
cess the claims of California against the
Federal Government for nearly $4,000
600, which when converted into the
State Treasury will amount practically
to a gift of relief to the taxpayers. For
more than quarter of a century our
Congressman have wrestled with this
claim fruitlessly. 1t remained for Con-
gresham Johnson to devise and start to
success a plan that has already received
the approval of that department of the
Government that has heretofore proved
the insurmountable obstacle in the path
of success
His record OF protection, his advo-
cacy of putting a stop to foreign irnmi-
grafton. his work in getting a large ap-
preparation for our rivers, where other
Congressman failed, and his success in
getting the Government to recognize

Best Served Districts.

Those districts that have returned
the same men to Congress for many
years have always been the best served
because their Representatives by their
acquaintance with other members as
we'll as with Congressional affairs and
methods, are able to exert influences
which no new member can. For this
reason those districts that send new
men to Congress every term are apt
to be Ill served by the Representatives
and neglected by others. The Second
California District was an exception to
this rule during the last Congress be-
cause 1t was represented by man
Of unusual force Of character, of Tn
usual ability, with ripe experience.
extensive information, and thorough
familiarity with parliamentary affairs
and the courage to break through the
n1usty traditions Of Congress which
discourage a member in his first term.
