1t is reported that a Pittsburg man is

silver has been found there, and that it may
be in paying quantities; but we are some
what incredulous. Some years ago there
was discovery OF silver in the mountains
at Harper's Ferry. Specimens were sub

found-clearly Indicating that the deposit
was melted coins or ware. Whilst on this

PREPARING TO HANG KENT.

Condemned Man still Refused the
Privilege Of Seeing His Boy.
Fargo, N. d., Nov. 10--In the hearing

bill OF exceptions in the Kent ase NJ
satisfactory bill could De agreed upon
between the opposing attorneys and
the court refused to sign those pre-
scented by the defense. The matter of
a writ OF error to perfect the appeal
was taken before Justice Corliss, OF
the supreme court, who decided he had
no authority to act aloue, and the mat
ter will come up tomorrow whep the
full bench meets. There seems, how
ever, absolutely no hope for the con
demned man. and he will probably be
hanged. Sheriff Barnes is proceeding
with the arrangements for the execu
ton and will have everything In readi-
ness on the date set by the courts.
Kent still maintains his innocence and
shows no indication of losing his
nerve. He begs TO see his son, who is
In Minneapolis, but the Lairds refuse
TO allow the boy to come here. Bishop
Stanley called on the condemned man
to-day and remained with him for near
ly an hour. This is the only indication
that Kent has even conceded that he
might be executed on the date set by
the courts.

,aIy son., m is thought by friends of
Do.h 10 De more probable than ever.
nhhcAourn a not returned to Wash
lngtoh since Logan Carlisle's letter de-
ciarihg q negro TO be Blackburn's su-
Perlor. Friends are still insisting that
nostliities between the two are proba.
oie because Of that incident when the
announcement was n ade that Logan
as chlef clerk for the treasury denart-
inent, had discharged from the federal
service Blackburn's nephew, Agent
ADAMS, n later also Miss Minnie Nc
Minlh, a sort of protege OF Blackburn,
III whose Ire the senator is credited
WIN having taken a deep interest.
ma action added fuel to the flames
OF Blackburn's wrath, and his intimate
friends here declare that when he
meets young Carlisle he will express
himself in such a way which Carlisle
VIII feel obliged to resent. Should
blackburn do so there Is no doubt that
Carlisle will do the resenting without
delay. He is n very cool, nervy son
Oh Kentucky, and would have no more
hesitation in shaping Blackburn's
face than he had in d~ischarging clerks
whom Blackburn had Endorsed.
1t is thought that, while Blackburn
mas let a previous slap from another 90
unnot!ced, he would be compelled TO
resent such an attack from Logan Car
Isle, even though he himself provoked
the assault, There is but one a for
a "kentuckian and a gentleman TO
treat that kind of insult, hence the talk
OF a duel between the two. During the
latter part of the campaign just past
political feeling ran very high in Ken
lucky, and Senator Blackburn followed
Secretary Carlisle about through the
state. replying to his speeches and
characterizing him personally in the
bitterest terms. One thing that is said
to have CALLED Blackburn was Car
isles refusal 10 divide time with him,
and the senator declared from the plat
form that his opponent had always
been more noted for his discretion than
his valor.
On the night Of Oct. %. in a public
speech in answe to one made by the
secretary Of the treasury, Senator
Blackburn characterized the formers
remarks as the ''meanest, most con-
temptible mass of lies ever uttered"
and added that if Carlisle 'told the
truth about the currency he would be
in the penitentiary instead of the cab
met" 1t vas said by Secretary Car
isles friends on this occasion that in
reading extracts from the formers
speeches Senator Blackburn substitute
ed the words free silver" for the word
dollars" in many instances, thus max
ing Carlisle's remarks seem absurd.

Chicago. Nov. 10.-John Wolf, a sa-
loonkeeper at Ashland avenue and
Forty-scyenth street, paid an election
bet yesterday to Police Justice Schultz.
of the Englewood police station.
Schultz is a Republican, says the Trib-
une, and Wolf a Democrat. The latter
said Altgeld would defeat Tanner and
Schultz could not see il that way. 1t
was decided that if Tanner were de-
feated Justice Schultz would white
wash every piece of coal Wolf had in
his cellar, and If Altgeld were defeated
then Wolf was to shave off side of
his elegant mustache and parade the
street wherever Schultz wanted him to
go. 1t was decided that Wolf had lost
his wager and he submitted to the
razor of the artist and the laughter of
friends and enemies.
