for the purpose OF securing a decision
by the United States supreme court as

state passed a joint resolution author
iziug the governor 20 take steps to
bring this question before the supreme
court After consultation with promi-
nent public men OF the state Governor
Thomas settled upon a course OF ac-
tion. The first step was to authorize
President Rucker under the great seal
OF the state, to confer with other gov
ernors and raise the funds necessary
TO bring a case before the supreme
court Of the United States.
The repues from governors OF those
states recognizing that silver should
be on an equality with gold as a cir
Culating medium of value have been
most satisfactory, promising assist
anCe, and If possible active cooperation.
Especially in Texas has the reception
of the idea been cordial. and II is pos
sible Mr.. Rucker will go to that state
and meet the governor and state Of
ticials before proceeding TO Washing
ton
The suit against the government Of
the United States will be begun by an
action in Denver The United States
Monetary League will give the state
treasurer of Colorado. as a present, a
solid silver brick of the purest metal, OF
100 ounces. and representing $780, at
par ratio. The treasurer will then for
mally present the brick to the state.
The state will send Il TO the United
States mint at Washington with the
demand that II be coined into 100 sill
yer dollars
This demand, of course" says Mr..
Rucker, will be refused Upon the
refusal suit will be entered in the Uni
ted States supreme court, for we have
a right under the constitution to de-
mand that the bullion be coined The
question will be raised as to where the
constitution lands us, and the suit
brought, in the name OF the state OF
Colorado. to secure more rapid action

NO SELECTION MADE.
Messrs. Kantner and Reber, However,
Have "a Perfect Understanding.

Pottsvile, Dec 10 There are rumors
within rumors in political circles here, In
reference to the appointments to be made by
the new board of County Commissioners.
These rumors are without foundation. Il is
true Messrs. Kantner aud Reher, the Repub-
lican members Of the board were in con-
ference several hours on Wednesday after.
noon and have reached a perfect understand
ing to organize the board on a Republican
basis, but they have reached no dnal con-
clusion as 10 the appointments.
It was rumored that John L. Hassler Of
Shenandoah. had been decided upon as
warden at the Jail, but the only foundation
for this was that Mr.. Hassler's name was
among others suggested for the place. There
has been no appointment made and the only
certainty is that John +. Zerbey will be re-
tained as chief clerk Charles A Snyder will
be chosen solicitor, and that most of those
holding positions in the Commissioners Office
will be retained. There viii be several
changes at the Jail.
Messrs. Kantner and Reber will meet again,
probably Tomorrow, when the appointments
may be announced.

The local record for ire alarms was broken
between eleven o'clock last night and seven
o'clock this morning Three alarms were
sounded and the fire companies responded
promptly to all of them Fortunately the
fire in neither case was of serious nature.
Two alarms were sounded for one property
This was a house in Robbins row, on East

Of Jacob Wolf The first call was sent Out
from tox No. 10, at 11:3O o'clock. The hre

issuing from the house was due to a fresh
wood fire ia the kitchen range. Twenty
minutes later a second alarm was sounded
from the same box and the fire companies
were again hal ed in front Of the Wolf house
This time an inspection was made and it was
found that the SCOT in chimney was on fire
The chemical hose was put in use and the
chimney was effectively flooded
The third alarm was sounded at GAO this
morning from box No. 40, corner of Oak and
Gilbert streets Again the fire companies sp-
peared on the scene aud located the cause OF
trouble in a house on South Gilbert street
occupied by Polish family and owned by
P. J. Gaughan. In this case also SCOT in q

apparatus eXtiuguished it.

L. J. Wilkinson, the dry goods merchant.
has decided to dispose of his immense stock
Of goods which was more or less damaged by
the recent fire, at fire sale prices, There is
nothing in the way of dry goods that can
not be had at this establishment The bulk of
the stock was damaged tn very little extent.
but Mr. Wilkinson will include it with the
rest Of the damaged stock and close it out at
FIRE sale prices. This great stock of capes
and coats, shawls and blankets, will all go at
prices to profit the buyer. To accommodate
the shoppers ten extra clerks have been added
to the regular force of the store. Au oppor-
tunity like this is not to be obtained every
day so the wise shopper should not fail to
take advantage of this one.
