"Reminiscences OF q Venerable WON.
->$.s an Now Living In Texas. ::
Mrs. Julia Clark, 70 years old, of Dali
Has, Tex, is q survivor OF the hordes of
men and women who focked to Califor-
mia in 1849 when gold was discovered
in that country. With her husband, Jo-
seph Clark, who died six years ago, she
lived for II years in the various mining
camps Oh the 'sunset slope'' in the
search for the yellow metal. In de-
scribing her experiences, reports the
Chicago Chronicle, Mrs. Clark says that
she was the only woman in a party
which left New Orleans in the month
of July of that memorable year. Two
male relations were with the party,
however. She says:
my husband made the trip to Califor-
mia by sea, going round the Horn. That
trip was considered too dangerous and
inconvenient for women to take, and /
was left at home to accompany party
that would start q few weeks later.
The most severe part Of the trip was
crossing Panama. Our party arrived
earlier than did my husbands. We went
from San Francisco overland into the
mining region, somewhere near where
Folsom is now located. We remained
there and in a number of mining camps
for three years. Ny husband and my
self, after leaving the mines, lived at
| Sacramento, San Francisco and other
places for II years and then returned
to Kentucky. We had probably as much
as $4,000. My husband invested in nu-
merous business ventures and lost prac.
tically all he had before we moved to
Texas. am poor now, but contentedVn
my old age with my relatives"
Mrs. Clark is ending the last years
Of her life with the family of hex
nephew, Edward C. Smith, business

Line From Ely to Connect With the
p. A. D: & w. at Gupflint.
Duluth News Tribune:
;, As announced in these columns the
Duluth & Iron Range will build the long
hoped for railroad to the boundary.
The Iron Range officials returned yes
tetday from ST; Paul. where they pre-
sented arguments before the state rail-
road aud warehouse commission in sup
port of their petition for permission to
increase the cspital stock of the corpo-
ration from 10000 to $10,OOc,OCO.
The privilege asked for was granted and
yesterday meeting otsthe stakeholder rs
was held in the company's Offices, at
which a resolution was adopted author
izing the board of directors to proceed
with making an additional issue OF stock
to the extent of $7,OOO,OO
The contemplated improvements as
outlined before the commission include
the construction of an extension from a
point near the Ely terminus, in st. Louis
county, north and east, between Snow
bank and Wind lakes, across the north
end OF Lake county, distance of about
s. miles to the western end Of the Port
Arthur, Duluth & Western road at the
Gunflint iron mine.
The extension of the Iron Range road
from Ely to connection with the p. A.
.. & W. ,s said to be the proposed man
ner ofreaching the boundary by the Iron
Range road. This will take the road
Though q vast territory of which there
is an endless quantity Of magnetic ore.
The magnetic ore is not especially desired
however, but 1t is the desire to make
connection with the Port Arthur road.
From some point on the line it is the
purpose to reach the gold country.
Mr.. Chandler says that none Of the
new stock will be issued Immediately.
The company could make none of it's
contemplated improvements very we'll
before another year at any rate. No
stock. will be issued until there 10 some

snsnts about to be made.
It is, Of course, understood by every

rather procuring permission to do SO, the
company does not intend make the
increase except ir connection with the
new improvements. tits also believed
that4he company would not have asked
for the privilege Of increasing it's stock
itit had not been fully decided to make
certain important extensions. Mr.. Chan
dler said that the present capital of the
company was not commensurate with
the importance Of the contemplated en-
terpriae. !. ~, !. y : 49,

the Fatal Shot.

SCOTTDALE Pa.), Aug. 1.-Coroner
Owens to-day held an inquest over the
remains of VIM. S. Cummings, the non
union mill worker who was killed last
night durging a quarrel with strikers.
A large number of witnesses were ex-
amined, but the only one who gave pos
tive testimony was Constable Tonga
necker, who testified that he was stand
ing within a few feet of the parties
when the shooting took place, and plain
ly saw the flash from the revolver in the
hands of VIM. c. Hubs The jury
found Hubs guilty, and he was ar
rested.
Hubbs was roller in the employ of
the Scottdale Iron and Steel Company
before the strike, and is one of the best
known men in town. While opinions
differ as to the effect of Cummings
death, it is generally believed that the
trouble last night will end the rioting
and bloodshed, and the strikers will be
more guarded in their actions.
The town tonight is as quiet as on
any ordinary Sunday.

UNION VETERANS HOME.
An Order of Gen. Dillon Creates a
Sensation in Their Ranks.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Something
Of a sensation has been created in the
ranks of the Union Veterans Union by
an order from General NJ. A. Dillon, re-
Gently appointed Provisional Depart
ment Commander of the Department of
the Potomac, suspending the officers
and delegates of W. S. Hancock and
John A. Logan commands from all the
rights and privileges of the Union until
they comply with certain orders re-
Gently issued by the Department Com
mander. The members of the command
affected say they will pay no heed to the
order.
The difficulty arises out of dissatis-
faction with an order received from the
COmmander-in-C Chief of the Union con-
veying the information that Washing
ton COmmandery of the L. V. U. had
been alienated from the Department of
the Potomac. A protest against the or
der is now proceeding, and will be de-
cided at the meeting of the Nantional
Encampment next month
General Dillon's order also suspends

Oh. P. Steele, until he furnishes evil
dence of his eligibility to membership,
which requires service at the front dur
ing the war. The latters friends say
