A REAL LAND OF GOLD.
RECORD FOR THE ELsvEN YEARS OF
lTi RICH OUTPUT

Johau nesburg begins the eleventh
year OF Its guld.produciDg bistlty with
a record output. Eleven years ago
there was no johannesburg. 1t wasou
December =, 1856, that the first build.
Ing sites were sole; ON the Rand, the
golden "slope OF the dear waters"
mining machinery began to be erected,
and in May the first output recurIet--
1t amounted to sS7 ounces. The tOtai
juet maze known for May, 1897, lie
24S, 305 ounces. It has been the
local ambition TO accomplish round
Ia million, ard this result W uld
have been more than attained had It
not been for the unfortunate strike at
the Raudiontein mine. There has
been no more momentous deCsnnium
for South Africa. 1t was the turn

remarkable occasion and quite without
precedent In the history of the city. There
gathered spontaneously representatives OF
the Democratic party of this city, Central
Falls, Providence and Woonsocket to give
Mayor Davis hearty Godspeed in his new
field of labor and to tender their tribute of
honor and respect. AL came with the
same purpose-to do honor to man who
has brought honor on the Democratic
party and whom they were proud to know
and call friend.
Mayor Davis knew that he was in the
hands of friends, that he was the central
figure in the midst of men of many call
ings, and, for that matter of different po-
litical faith, but that all were actuated by
one desire, and that desire-to show how
proud Pawtucket is at the success of one
of her most respected citizens.
Mayor McGuinness of Providence was
present in spirit though not in person,
for he had an important engagement in
Washington, which unavoidably detained
him from being present He had accepted

PETITION filled.
Orient Card and Paper Com
pany to Appear in Court
To Show Cause Why They Should
Not Be Judged InsOlvent.
A Decree of the Court Was Entered Last Night
Staying An Execution.

The Orient Card and Paper Company Of
this city has been frequently before the
courts OF late, and several large judgments
have been entered up against the company.
One of the creditors, Henry K. Cooper,
appeared with his attorney I'm the appel
late Court last evening and filed an in
voluntary petition in insolvency against
the company, asking that the members of
the firm, George Cooper, Margaret Cooper
and Robert Linton, be cited to appear in
court on Jan. %, and show cause why
they should not be judged insolvent. A
citation was issued at once.
Reasons are givenin the formal petition
why the company should be declared in
solvent. One is that within four months
prior to the filing of this petition, 1t has
permitted an attachment to remain upon
the property for a period Of 40 days. A
preference has also been obtained over the
other creditors by the Fitchburg Paper
Company by reason Of levy made in ac-
cordance with judgment of the Common
Pleas Court.
Another reason is that the Orient Com
pany has failed to make payment of COM
mercial paper for 80 days after maturity,
this paper being note for $1513.10, due
April 3, 1886.
A decree Of the Court was entered last
evening, staying the execution in the case
of the Fitchburg Paper Company. Robert
Linton also entered his appearance as a
defendant.

Committee For the Tenth Time.

All the members of the school commit
tee were present at the meeting last even
ing, when Henry Barker, chairman of the

as though they had been on the Board for

ing. The first business In order was the

was taken, which resulted IA follows:
Blodgett 5, Pierce and Barker 1. On
motion the ballot was made formal, and
Edward w. Blodgett was declared regu-
larly elected.
The new chairman then took the chair
and said it would be idle for him to say
he was not pleased with his appointment.
He considered 1t an honor to be chairman
of the board, and in the second place, as 1t
was probably his last year as me- Der OF
the School Committee, he would take
pleasure in presiding over its naetings.
He expressed the hope that the yea would
be prosperous one, and that " would
pass without friction, and that i, 'ould
prove one in which much would 'e ac-
complished for the public school OF the
city.
On motion the salary of the clerk was
fixed at $500 per annum, the same as last
year, and George f.. Nicholas was unani-
mously reelected to fill the position. Mr..
Nicholas, in accepting the position, ex-
pressed his thanks for the appointment,
and as this was his tenth year of service,
trusted that his experience would be OF
value to the Board during the coming
year.
Mr.. Emerson of the committee on quail
fications for 1895 reported the following
appointments: Carolyn A. Gallop al
Brook street school; Agnes Jones at Gar
den street; Ella M. Wadsworth at Church
Hill; Selma Jenkins at Fairlawn; A. Mabe
Perkins as principal of the Cherry stree,

already occurred and was informed that
the appointments had been made under q
resolution passed last June, empowering
the committee on qualifications to fill all
vacancies. Mr.. Slattery said he had sim
ply inquired for information
Mr.. Pierce then gave notice that at the
| next meeting of the committee he would
move to amend the rules so as to provide
| for standing committee on high school
Mr.. Coop followed, and said he would
| move to amend the rules SO assto make the
| committees on evening high schools and
drawing schools one committee.
The board as composed this year and
present last evening is as follows: Edward

NO MORE ANNOYANCE.

Patrons at the Opera House Will Not BE
Subjected to Further Annoyance.
The patrons of the Opera House have
been annoyed more or less since the open
ing of the house early last winter by the
misbehavior of the youthful contingent
who occupy the gallery to a great extent.
or late the the disorder has become more
pronounced and caused annoyance not
only to the aucience but to the people
occupying the stage as well, and the man
agement, while willing that the patrons Of
the house should express their approval or
disapproval in the customary manner,
awoke to the fact that the expressions were
being carried little too far.
Manager Spitz, who has been watching
the progress of events, made up his mind
that the matter had gone far enough, and
stationed several officers in citizens clothes
in the audience. AS result young man
named Mitchell of Central Falls, who
started a disturbance In the gallery was
taken out and turned over to Officer Por-
ritt, who sent him to the station where he
spent the night.
In an interview with Manager Spitz this
morning, he said that he was determined
to put stop to the various acts of dis
order which have taken place i'm various
parts of the house of late, and to that end
he has engaged special policemen to dis
tribute themselves among the audience
and remove the first person who behaves
in manner other than that of a gentleman.
In this actionhe will have the endorsement
of all classes Of patrons.

A TROOPSHIP WRECKED.
OF the Twelve Hundred Persons Aboard
Only Two were Lost.

LONDON, Jan. PA dispatch to the
Daily Telegraph from Port Luis, island
of Mauritius, published today, furnishes
particulars Of the wreck of the British
troopship Warren Hastings, which oc-
Cured off the island of Reunion on
Thursday, January IA. The ship, it ap-
pears, ran ashore at 2:20 a. m. 1t was
pitch dark and torrents of rain were
falling. She had on board soldiers and
crew to the number of 1881 men. in addi-
tion to number of women and children,
the families of the married men of the
military force. When the ship struck
the troops were ordered to retire from
the upper deck, to which they had flock
ed on the first alarm, and to fall in be-
low. This they did promptly, although
perfect discipline prevailing, although
the men We're fully conscious of the dam
ger. They quietly mustered ON the
tween decks without confusion or ex-
citement Owing to the fact that the
surf boat could not be used in landing
the troops, two officers of the Warren
Hastings were lowered from the ships
bow to the rocks, and when it was found
that landing could be effected in that
way the Decentralization of the soldiers
was commenced at o'clock. BY o'clock
the decks had heeled over to an angle of
20 degrees to starboard and the boats
were all swept away. The good SWIM
mers were then permitted to swim
ashore carrying ropes By this means
many others were landed and the dis
embarkation of all on board was accom-
pliShed by $3.50 a. m, with the loss of

A NEW TUNE.
Republicans Will Not Continue to Agi-
tate Financial Questions.


CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 27.-It can be
stated on authority which cannot be
doubted, that the Republican leaders
have decided upon a radical change of
policy in connection with the proposed
continuation of political agitation
throughout the coming four years, and
that in it's stead the verdict of the Amer
lean people in the recent presidential
election and the merits of the incoming
administration will stand alone.
Chairman Hanna, though one of the
first to announce himself in favor Of
continuing the political agitation during
the coming four years. has clearly DEM
onstrated his change Of views by frank
ly stating to a representative of the AS
ISOLATED Press: II am in favor of stop
ping all political agitation and permit
ting the verdict of the people of the coun-
try to stand upon it's merits"
1t Is believed that potent factor en-
tering into the discussion and Snal de-
cision on this question is the belief
which is apparently daily growing on
all sides that active political work on
such a scale as was mapped out by the
Republican leaders some time ago Is
now and would continue to be menace
to the return of business prosperity.

NORDHAUsEN'S DEATH.
There Was Evidently Woman in the
Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. &c. c..
Nordhausen, an Oakland capitalist, who
had been treated at st. Luke's hospital
for a wound which he said was accident
ally self-inflicted, died at the hospital
yesterday, and at an autopsy today the
physicians in attendance concluded that
Nordhausen could not possibly have in
fiicted the injuries from which he died.
Besides a wound on his forehead. for
which Nordhausen asked treatment, the
doctors also found a serious wound in
the breast from which bullet was ex-
tracted when he was first attended.
The hospital doctors state that when
summoned they noticed that the wounds
were thirty hours old, the blood having
dried around the wounds and on Nord-
hausen's clothing. Just before his death
he tacitly admitted to the physicians that
he had been shot by woman, but he de-
clined to discuss the matter, saying:
'Oh, never mind. 1t is too late now"
The police have found that last Satur-
day night Nordhausen, much intoxicat-
ed, applied at the Baldwin hotel for
quarters. He remained in his room on
Sunday, and early on Monday an at
tendant found Nordhausen fully dressed
on sofa in great pain. 1t was then he
was taken to the hospital to be treated
for his self-inflicted wound, as he said
The police believe his assailant was a
woman, and that the shooting took place
before he appeared at the hotel on Sat-
urday night.

he was late at the first meeting, and
when he arrived he found Breiling, the

SO many names on the list Dr. Mat

nothing to do with the committee; that
it was none of it's business. The names
of half dozen attaches were recon-
mended for mileage, although the COM
mittee understood that the persons were
not entitled to it, and the house allowed
the money.
