DALLAS COUNTY BONDS.
Bid of City National Bank of Selma
 Was Accepted.

Selma, Jauary 9.-(Special)-It Is now only matter of a few days before the bridge across the Alabama river at this point will be made free.
 About month ago bids were received $65, 900 worth of Dallas county bonds with which to purchase the bridge. None of the bids were satisfactory and another advertisement resulted. The several lots of bids were opened today, the three high est being Dudoph Kleybolte & Co.,, of Cin- cinnati, who offered to take the whole issue bearing per cent. interest at par with a premium of $100 and accrued interest from January 1, in exchange of bonds; W. J. Hayes & Sons, of Cleveland, made the same offer with $125 premium. The City Ma tonal bank, of Selma, offered to take the whole issue, bearing per cent. interest at par with $125 premium and accrued interest. The latter bid was accepted and gives gen. eral satisfaction that home institution of the well known financial standing of the City National bank thus evinces it's confi- dence in the ability of Dallas county to meet its obligations.

 SAF E NOT FOUND.
Officials Abandoned the Quest After a
 Hard Days Search.

Kansas City, January 9-The safe con- taining 1,500 which Chad Stowell, inmate of the Hutch nson, Kan, reformatory, in q confession made Saturday last, said he Loped take in the Missouri Pacific train robbery at Leeds in September and bried near aGllatin, was not found by Chief Strauss and Sheriff Cook, of Topeka
 After a hard days search by the six of- ficals without success, the quest was abandoned. The theory is advanced that if the money and valuables had ever been buried there during the time that has elapsed it had undoubtedly been removed by some of Stoweli's associates or his friends to whom he had imparted his se- cret. This is the robbery in which young Jesse James, Jr., is alleged to have taken part

MINERS MEET IN
 ANNUAL SESSION WrangIe Among Delegates in
 the Convention. ACRIMONIOUS DISCUSSION
Doland and Ratchford Dispute Over tho Appointment of Committee on Cre- dentials Probability of Bolt
 from the Conference.

Pittsburg, January 9.-The delegates to the tenth annual convention of the United Mine Workers of Amcr.ca were slow .n arriving at the old city hal today and it was nearly Il o'clock before National Pres ident Ratcbford rappcd for order and de- livered his annual address. About 800 del- egates from thirteen states were then in their seats and about 100 more were ex- pected before the close of the day.
 It was the largest and most representa- tive gathering of miners ever held. and the convention, which will cont nue throughout the week, promises to be the most import ant in the history of the mine workers organization.
 Immediately after the opening session a dispute arose between President Ratchford and District President Doland over the ap- DO ntment of the credentials eommittete, and the entire session was taken up with an acrimonious discussion as to the right of the president to name the committete At 1:3O o'clock the convention adjourned until tomorrow without having taken a ballot for new officers.
 Among the important questions to be con- sidered during the convention are an ad- vance in wages, an eight-hour work day and the general adoption of the run-of-mine system.
 These questions must be decided upon for presentation for adoption at the joint inter- state convention of coal operators and miners to be held here next week to arrange the interstate wage agrcemnt for the en- suing year, beginning April 1, 1899.
 At the last national convention but five states-Pennsylvana, Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois, were represented. At this convention the additional states send ing delegates are Alabama, Kansas, Ken lucky, Tennessee, Michigan, Iowa, Arkan- sas and Indian Territory.
 The delegates in atendantce represent over 100, coo miners
 After adjournment the delegates congre- gated in groups and much excitement was evident Charges of trickcry flew thick and fast and tomorrow there may be a bolt from the convention One of the principal causes of dissatisfaction with the admins- traton party is that the president, M. R. Ratchford, now holds a government office and it is thought he should not exercise the functions of present office and take so much interest in elections he is taking.

Arkansas convened at noon today. Both branches effected temporary organization and adjourned until tomorrow. The sena- tors Fcaucussed this afternoon and selected Hon. H. J. Manning, of Clarendo, as presi- dent, and John ". Howell, of Clarksville, secretary. There was no house caucus and 1t is probable the contest for speaker may result in deadlock. As soon as both branches are organized, Daniel ". Jones will be inaugurated for a second term as governor.

in his liquifer by the use Of about
three gallons. a surplusage that would
go on indefinitely.
The inventors theory is that liquid
air at 3l2 degrees below zero, being
warmed by contact with the atmos-
phere, throws off vapor or steam
which, if confined, could be made to
operate any engine now operated by
steam. He held up a glass Of the
liquid when he dismissed his audience
tonight and remarked that if the
small quantity Of liquid at 312 degrees
that he held in his hand were warmed
100 degrees-that is to say 2l2 degrees
below zero-it would throw off force
that, if confined, would operate l ,o00
horsepower engine. The inventor
said that he proposed not only to util-
ize liquid air in place Of the water
now used in boilers, hut that he pro-
posed to heat the air with the natural
atmosphere, thus operating engines
without water or fuel.

Arp Visits an Ostrich Farm at Jacksonville,

Florida.

No, but he wants one all the
same, said he; and next came Bob
Fitzsimmons and wife-the meanest
bird in the lot, said he, for he is an
exception to the rule and fights his
wife and everything else in sight.
Well, Of course there was a very
fine pair which were called Dewey and
wife and another pair called Sagasta
and wife.
This is enough to give the young
people an idea about ostriches and it
would have pleased them to see one Of
these noble birds hitched to the beau
tiful little buggy and driven around
by Mr.. Pearson. Altogether, it was a
revelation to me, and [ enjoyed my
visit. It seems to me to be very
simple business and one that does not
require any more genius than raising
mules or COWS or sheep. Jacksonville
is a beautiful town. It has grown
into beauty within the last few years.
It's beautiful wide streets paved with
virtifed brick, its handsome public
buildings and private residences, its
general air Of comfort and hospitality,
and its polite and well-mannered peo-
pie, and its evergreens that have de-
fed the hard winter, all make it a
lovely place for the sick or the well.
The soldiers have gone, but the tour
lists are yet here. I left home in a
blizzard and hurried down here, but
the chilly blast beat me and has just
passed over and gone.

A Deserted City Of Marble.

In the County Of North Hastings,
Ont, is deserted town called
Bridgewater, which is built entirely
Of marble. About twenty-five years
ago a farmers wife were searching in
the woods for pig that had strayed
away. In particularly dense part Of
the forest she found a cold spring OF
crystal water and stopped to drink
from it. AS she did SO she slipped on
e. round stone and fell into the water.
Attracted by the peculiar odor of the
stone she fshed it out and took it
home. Investigation showed it to be
q twenty pound nugget Of almost pure
gold.
Within six months the wilderness
had blossomed into the thriving town
Of Bridgewater, with FIVE thousand
inhabitants. There were old Forty
miners from the Pacific slope, ANA
teurs from Great Britain and the Uni
ted States, prospectors from every
field. Shafts and tunnels we're driven
by the hundreds. In the sinking OF a
shaft mile south of the town, on a
claim Of B. Flint, Of Belleville, who
is now a member of the Canadian
Senate, vein Of white marble was dis
covered. At the suggestion Of Flint,
who wanted little or nothing for the
material, the town Of Bridgewater was
built of solid marble. 1t has even to
this day court house, school, church,
hotel, stores and private dwellings
constructed wholly Of this material.
While the town was booming the
entire country was prospected. Some
Of the shafts and tunnels were driven
more than a hundred feet in depth,
but, remarkable as it NAV seem, there
was never enough gold found to pay
the cost of single mine in the dis
trict.
The place where the original nugget
was found was christcned aladdin S
Cave" and the land in its vicinity
sold at fabulous prices. One farmer
whose farm adjoined the cave sold five
acres 10 an English syndicate for
500. 900 cash. The syndicate spent
another 100000 in developing the
claim, but never obtained an ounce of
free gold. An aged Irishman at
Bridgewater, Patrick Keough, receiv-
ed an offer Of sl25, 900 for his farm,
which consisted Of hundred acres OF
rock-piled, barren land. He refused
the offer, holding out for slo0, 900,
which he never got. To-day any one
could buy the property for 81 an acre.
