A MOTION to hold night sessions was defeated by the House Monday. This had too much the appearance of work about it to accord with the conceptions of dignity entertained by the more indolent mem bers of the House of Representatives and then, too, prospects would not be so good for an extended session.

 ExzGov John P. Alt9eld. who at
 one time was conspicuous national
 character, whose utteranees were
 greedily snatehed up and printed
 by the metropolitan press, has gene
 the way of all radicals and has been
 reduced to the necessity Of resort
 ing 10 the circular to get his views
 before the public. In 1896 no
 man was more eagerly sought or more attentivelY listened
 to than ex-Goyernor Alt geld. Altgedism had reached it's
 high.water mark In 1897 there are none % poor as to do him
 reverence. Attgeldism is no longer
 the fad, The ex- governor has writ
 ten letter to Hon. Orrin N Carter, judge of Cook County, IIl..
 which is marvel in magnitude. It is printed in columns double the width of an ordinary newspaper column and four of these columns fill page three feet long and thirty inches wide In this broadside the X-governor undertakes to show that Mckinley was not elected. that Bryan was not defeated; that the country was made the victim of confidence game; that the RepubH- cans carried the day by fraud at cost of $5, GOO, GOO in the State of Illinois alene, and so forth, all of which is very interesting and per haps very true, but it is not what it would have been if it had come from in 1896 instead of in 1897. it is not news in the opinion of newspapers that deal in this com modity; it is fit only for the circular, from which no man can escape, and for the confab with political cronies.
 The political eonyulsions of the last few years called into being a great many freaks and misshapen creatures of chaotic circumstances. but none more picturesque, more dangerous, or more bold and per sistent than Alteeld. He is man If much force of character, cunning, 5act, sophisticated and capable orI honesty and eandor and 1f assuming virtues that he does not possess.

on Sunday last. Mrs. Davies was a
noble Christian woman. the mother of
10 children. six of whom are living, the
youngest being but seven days old. She
was a leader in the First Baptist
church of that city and highly esteemed
by her many acquaintances. Mrs. John
A. Davies of this city had been con-
templating trip to her sisterin-law in
Pittston. A remarkable incident in
connection with the sad affair was a
dream that Mr.. Davies of this city had
just before receiving the message of his
sister-in-law's death. 1t weighed heav-
lily on his mind and he remarked to
his wife that he believed that he would
soon hear bad news. That same day
the message was delivered to him.
Mrs. Davies was SO years old.

RICH PLACER COUNTRY
Splendid Diggings Discovered
Near Old Georgetown.
TSGOODFROM SOIL DOWN
Coarse Gold and Lots of 1t Taken From
the Ground in a Short Time-Bed-
rock Has Not Yet Been
Reached.

Near old Georgetown, just west OF
Gable, is a strip of ground, the richness
of which is causing much excitement
just now and for the past few months
i'm that vicinity. Last June Messrs.
Moss, Morgan and wellington located a
placer claim on ground that has been
tramped over for the last SO years With
out ever having been more than
f'scratched" by the prospector's pick.
Above it, in the mountains and on each
side, much prospecting for ore has been
done and some very good ore has been
taken out of that section. but this par
ticular bar has been overlooked. The
original locators, above mentioned
sank hole and every shovelful of dirt
contained more or less gold. There
were ''colors'' from the grass roots
down, and bedrock has not been
found.
Soon after the discovery was made
and the richness of the ground demon
strated. Messrs. j. c. Pierce and c. Il.
Baldwin purchased the claim and began
operations. There was plenty of water
and fall for sluice boxes. and in short
time about six weeks. the men cleaned
up $1,000, and this gold was taken, it
might be said. from surface dirt alone.
1T was enough to show that there is
great wealth for the men who properly
work the ground
This fall preparations have been
ground next summer. Recently the
owners sank holes to the depth of 80
feet without striking bedrock, but every
ibit of the gravel is rich. and the deeper
they went the richer the ground was
and the gold showed coarser. several
nuggets weighing as much as a5 and $40
having been found.
1t is the intention of MesSrs. Pierce
and Baldwin to sink to bedrock if it is
there at all, and begin to drift the tst
of January. They have built houses
and made other necessary improve
ments for the accommodation of en-
ployes.
A few months ago Messrs. John Hal
aahan and John Canovan. two as able
mining experts as can be found in this
state, visited the property and reported
that it showed indications of great
richness, and were very favorably inn
pressed with it in every way. But they
probably did not think that it was as
rich as it is. The owners say it is the
finest piece of ground that they ever
saw.
Land on every side of it has been
staked out into claims and on some of
them good indications have been found.
The bar has a fall of seven inches TO
the box and there is an abundance of
water for sluicing and hydraulic pur-
poses. The gravel is what miners call
a beautiful wash, and it carries a great
quantity of iron wash and black sand.
lit is easy to wash and carry off.
| Messrs. Pierce and Baldwin were in
the city yesterday on business and will
return in time to begin operations the
first of the year. They don't call their
mine a 'Klondyke," but say that the
frigid country up North is not to be
compared with the section they are in
prospected and the klondyke is one to
he Stunned.

FURNACE TO Be TESTED
Heating Plant of the Bryan
School Under Discussion.
UNDER DARBYS CHARGE
The School Closed for Three Days Ow-
ing to the Lack of Sufficient Heat.
Apportionment of Funds by
County Superintendent.

A special meeting of the school trus-
tees of the district was held last night
at the boards headquarters in the bank
building for the purpose of discussing
the heating plant of the Bryan school
house. Trustees Tuttle, Welcome, Cud-
dihy and Twohy We're present.
Professor Stapleton, city superintend-
ent of schools, said that for three days
during last week the temperature of the
various rooms was so low as to render
1t impossible to require children to re-
main in them. New CRATES and drafts
have been put in. yet after keeping fires
all night the temperature was only 5S
at the opening hour.
1t was stated that Janitor Darby had
made the assertion that the furnace that
is now in the building is of sufficient ca
pacity to heat the school house were the
apparatus properly attended to. The
board decided that Mr.. Darby's theory
should be given a thorough test and on
motion of Mr.. Twohy it was unanimous
ly voted to instruct the superintendent
to put Janitor Darby on duty at the
Bryan school to handle the furnace for a
reasonable length of time, in order that
he might demonstrate that his assertion
that the furnace was ample to do the
work has foundation.
superintendent Stapleton wanted to
know whether or not the test should be
made during the holiday vacation or
during the regular school session. This
matter was freely. discussed and 1t was
finally concluded that the test should
be made during the vacation, provided
the weather turns cold enough to make
the trial a fair one. 1t was thought
best to make the test when the temper
ature was not above zero, and should a
cold snap fail to put in its appearance
during the holiday vacation the trial
of the heating apparatus will be deferred
until such time as the weather may be
appropriate for the test.
The board then adjourned until the
next regular meeting night, which is on
Tuesday, Dec 2S.
The county superintendent of schools
has made the following apportionments
of funds for school purposes:
