GOOD WAY TO GOVERN ASTORIA
A Receiver to be Appointed for Town
In Illinois.


Princeton, H., November II, - Spring
Valley enjoys the novel situation of being
in such a condition fiancially that argu-
ments win be heard concerning the ad-
visibility of appointing receiver for
the city. The arguments will be heard
before Judge Trimble Of the Bureau
county court. The baSis for the case Is
a bill filed by one of the taxpayers, John
Huss, who claims that the city is insol-
vent; that it is constantly increasing
Its indebtedness, and that the prospects
for the immediate future, judging from
the annual appropriation bill passed by
the city council, is that the Indebtedness
will be largely increased during the
coming year.

NEW Jersey LEGISLATURE.

Futile Effort TO Push Regular Busi-

Trenton May 26.-Thc special session
Of the 12lst sBislature. after being in
session seven hours, adjourned sine die
without having accomplished anything
except the correction Of the error which
made the session necessary and the
confirmation Of some nominations sent
to the senate by the governor. Prac-
tically the entire time of the house was
taken up with the discussion Of the
Voorhees, judiciary amendments to the
constitution, either in open session or
in a conference of the Republican
members.
Notwithstanding the determination
Of the senators i'm conference Monday
night not to take up any business eX-
cept the correction of the error in the
bin for the special constitutional cleo
tion next September, the house Repub-
ncans, in conference, decided to take
up the Voorhees, amendments When
these amendments came up i'm the house
their opponents pursued the fight made
In the conference against them, and
succeeded in having referred to the at
torney general a question as TO whether
the amendments could be legally con-
sidered, in view of the fact that they
were rejected by the house i'm the reg
ular session, which ended last April
Attorney General Gray sent to the
house his written opinion, in which he
decided that the house, when it rejected
the amendments. exhausted its con-
troll over them and could not take them
up again. This opinion was accepted
by the large majority Of the mem
bers, and the fight which had been
carried on vigorously for hours by the
friends of the VoCrhees amendments
had to he given up.
No attempt was made in the house
to bring up the biennial sessions
amendment which the house Repub-
licans. by vote of 20 to 25, in confer
ence had decided should not be con-
sidered,
The two houses repassed the bill pro-
viding for a special election on Sept,
2S for the purpose of passing upon the
threee constitutional amendments
adopted last April, and then adjourned
sine die.

A RECENT experiment by the New
England railroad between the cities
of Hartford and New Britain Conn
has demonstrated the feasibility of
using electricity as the motive power
on steam railroads in place of loco
motives, and the latter are likely to
be relegated to the scrap pile, at
least upon suburban railroads. The
cities named are nine miles apart and
as overhead wires and trolleys We're
impracticable, the engineers, after
long study Of the problem presented,
decided upon a third rail, A shaped,
to convey ihe power. This rail is
placed in the middle of the track and
was found to fiji the requirements of
the case admirably and on Monday
morning cars commenced running on
half-hour schedules. Reports are to
the effect that everything worked
smoothly but the line had to be
fenced i'm to prevent people from
coming in contact with the rail which

A FRENCH doctor has published in
the Gazette des Hopitaux an account
of his bicycling experiences. After
a long ride he experienced paraesthe-
siae in the fourth and fifth fingers,
with impaired sensibility, and paresis
in the interossei, lumbricales, and the
adductor pollicis, This paresis was
followed by distinct atrophy in the
affected muscles. He considers the
affection to be the result of pressure
upon the branches of the ulnar nerve,
aggravated, doubtless, by the vibra-
tion oecasioned by bad roads He
also considers that predisposing fact
Ors existed in the softness of the skin
of the hand and in the exhaustion of
the muscles and the consequent loss
of protection to the nerves lying in
or under them. 1t does not take any
such terms to express how hiking
affected some of ShenandOah's heavy
weight riders in the early stages,
when the pesSy thing would insist
upon going through antics similar to
those of the brOncho on Main street
last Saturday evening. 1t requires
language much more vigorous and

Washington, May 26-Mr 70. O..
BriCe, whose claim TO a process for
creating cold and silver from chem
ically pure antimony and other base

only negative results. has made appli-
cation TO the commissioner OF patents
for another test. In his request he as
serts that the old commission did not
follow his directions i'm important par
ticulars. Ingredients, he alleges, were
used which he told them were inimical
to his process, and that he himself pro-
duced gold from chemically pure anti
mony, sulphur and iron after the COM
mission had failed with the same ma
terials, and that theV then declared
that by whatever process gold and sill
yer might be obtained from any other
material It simply showed that there
was gold and silver in the metals be-
fore the process was used.
In a letter to Mr. Preston, the di-
rector of the mint Mr. Brlce strongly
protests against some of the acts of
the commission, by which he claims his
process was unfairly tested. especially
in the use of alkalis. which rendered
the tests vaiueless. MIR. Brice is en-
