Mr.. Jones served also in several other
public places besides being a senator.
President Buchanan sent him to New
Granada (now Colombia), South Amer
lea, as United States minister. Upon his
recall from that place in 1861 he was
accused Of disloyalty and imprisoned at
Fort Warren, but he was soon released.
He was warm friend of jefferson Da-
Wis, and it was partly owing to the in
timacy of the two men that Mr.. Jones
was charged with disloyalty. Like both
the other venerable ex-senators here
spoken Of, Mr.. Jones is in excellent
health in spite of his advanced age.
Three years ago he led the grand march
at a charity ball, and he was one Of those
who. in 1898. escorted the remains Of
his old friend Davis from New Orleans
to Richmond.

EX-SENATOR BRADBURY.
though not in public life, and no doubt
the intimate friends Of many such would
be surprised to know how completely
they have dropped out of public knowl
edge.
Among the most interesting Of all the
present has beens are Joseph Bradbury
of Maine, George W. Jones Of Dubuque,
Ia, and Alpheus Felch of Ann Arbor,
Mich. These men are the Oldest living
ex-United States senators; they were all
members Of that body at the same time,
but they retired SO long ago that they
have been forgotten by the great mass
of their fellow citizens, although during
the years of their public activity they
were all personages Of prominence. The
Oldest of the three is Joseph Bradbury.
AS he was born in 1909, he is now SO
years old. His six years. term in the
senate began with 1847 ard closed with
1853. Mr.. Jones is nearly two years
younger, his birth having occurred on
April IL, 1904. His term Of service in
the senate began in 1S4S and ended in
1859. Mr.. Felch is little younger than
Mr. Jones, his birth was on Sept. 8,
1904, and be served exactly the same
time as Mr.. Bradbury.
All three were members Of the Thir-
tieth and Thirty first congresses. They
are the sole survivors Of the senates Of
those congresses. They were the COL
leagues of John c. Calhoun Of South
Carolina, Sam Houston of Texas, Robert
NJ. T. Hunter Of Virginia, Tom Corwin
Of Ohio, William H. Seward Of New
York and John A. Dix of the same state,
Thomas II. Benton Of Missouri, Jeffer-
son Davis Of Mississippi, Daniel Web
ster of Massachusetts, Lewis Cass Of
Michigan, Hannibal Hamlin Of Maine,
Henry Clay Of Kentucky, Herschell V.
johnson Of Georgia, John M. Clayton
Of Delaware and many others Of lesser
Importance, long since called from the
scenes Of their earthly labors and forgot
ten by the rushing world of today.
Each Of the three Oldest ex. senators
must have stored up in his memory a
series Of "reminiscences that would prove
a veritable mine to the inquiring writer.
What they could tell Of the politics Of
past years would no doubt be vastly en-
Pertaining and valuable. They could talk
about other things than politics most in
terestinely also. Mr.. Bradbury was a
member Of the famous, class Of 1926, at
Bowdoin, and among his associates there
were Longfellow, the poet: Nathaniel
Hawthorne, the writer OF eerie romances;
John s. @. Abbot, whose ''Tales Of
Franconia" delighted the young several

Just before 10 A. NJ. the market took
a sudden plunge downward to 7St, re.
acting later TO 1S4c.
Shortly after 10 the price receded to
7S4c, then within few minutes it ad-
vdnced full cent. During the frenzy
at the opening few trades we're made
as high as 794c, while sales at the same
moment in other parts of the pit were
at different figures, ranging all the
way to 7S3c.
About 1890 the price was 7Sfc for
December. Almost before the tickers
could place the figures on the tape in
the brokers' offices the quotation had
leaped to 192c. only an eighth offs cent
short of cents advance within sim

rapidly as it had risen to 7S2c. Scat
tering sales were made at 7Ssc. Then
once more the market rebounded, the
ruling price at IL A. NJ. being 20 cents
for December.

FIRE IN wooDBURN.,
Whole Business BIoclk Destroyed at
that Place.

Whole Business BIock Destroyed at
that Place.
WOODBURY., Or, Oct 19.-One
whole business block burned here to-
night, and several large buildings near
by are threatened at late hour. The
fire so far has been confined to the
block bounded by Front and First
streets and Garfield ami Fillmore on
the north and south The block of
wooden buildings is totally wiped out.
The fire started by the explosion of
benzine in the drugstore Of l.. W. Guiss,
in the center of the block. A customer
came in for small vial of benzine,
and in some way the benzine expladed
and ran on the floor, at once catching
on fire and soon the whole room was in
flames. The fire soon communicated
to the postoftice adjoining, spreading
to F. NJ. Cammack's hotel, next to the
drug store of A. L. Cornwall, to w. A.
Fashe's furniture store, to Louis Pre-
vost's grocery and the hardware store
of Louis Waldmann. The contents of
the postoffice were nearly all saved.
The hotel is a total loss.
The fire spread slowly, owing to the
absence of wind, and thus everyone
was able to save most of his goods.
The fire commenced at $50 O'Clock and
ragged until 1890 o'clock p. Nj.
As this city has no fire department,
it was hard work to fight the flames,
but great credit is due the citizens that
the fire was confined to one block.
The total loss is estimated at S26, 900,
with only about 81 900 insurance.

GUTHRIE, Oct. 1S.-Further particu-
lars were received today of the raid on
the little town of Carney, about 20
miles east of here, yesterday. about
9o'clock at night, six masked and
armed outlaws, supposed to have been
headed by the notorious Dynamite
Dick, zone of the associates of the
Daltons, rode into the place and held
up the town. Carney is town OF
about 300 people.
The robbers entered the village from
the north with great show of fire.
arL:s. Two of the outlaws entered the
general store of B. Fouts and COM
PEELED him and his son to open the
safe. After securing about $500 from
them. they bound both the father and
sop. threw them upon horses and
carried them about two miles out of
town and tied them to tree.
In the meantime, the rest of the
gang had entered the postoffice, but,
failing to secure anything of value,
they raided the hotel. compelling the
proprietor and several travelling men
who were stopping there to turn over
their money, watches and jewelry.
Several smaller stores were also r,.ided.
Before entering Carney, the out
laws had taken the precaution to cut
the telephone wires leading to Cand
eler, so that there might be no chance
of failure.
During the raid, the bandits kept up
a fusillade of bullets In all directions,
terrorizing the inhabitants so that very
little effort was made to resist the
raiders. 1t was some time after the
bandits had left before order could be |
restored and an organized pursuit be-
gun. Finally, after considerable de-
lay, about 100 armed men began the
chase. The pursuers were divided
into three bands, and went in different

himself as satisfied with the general

"There are only four states" said
he, in which fusion has not been arr

Tennessee without doubt. Georgia
will be either for Bryan and Watson

classed as doubtful, Indiana with fu-
