ARE WORKING
FOR DELAY
The Senate Contingent Ex-
penses Committee
ARE IN NO HURRY
To Report Back on the Clark Case
Chandler Will Press the
Matter.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE matter
of the Montana senatorial credentials
was again brought up in the senate
this afternoon by Senator Chandler,
who asked to know whether the COM
mite on contingent expenses was
ready to report back the resolution
from Chandler's committee asking for
authority to send for persons and pa
pers. In the brief discussion which
followed it became quite apparent
that certain members of the contin-
gent expenses committee, particularly
Senator Gallinger, Mr.. Chandier's RI
val in New Hampshire politics, were
not at all opposed to procrastlnating
support. Senator Jones, chairman
of the democratic national committee
took occasion to state that the inquiry
made by Senator Chandler as to ''the
reasons that influence the contingent
expenses committee" was not proper.
The resolution again went over after
this debate. Senator Chandler AMI
his colleagues of the privileges and
elections committee will persist in
their efforts to get action on the reso-
luton before the holidays. In this
event the committee will devote a
larger part of the holidays to hearing
evidence on the Clark and Maginnis
credentials. There are several sena-
tors, however, who appear to be in
favor of delaying action until the
Montana legislature meets.

HOLDING AN INQUEST.
To Discover, If Possible, How Cum
ninuham Came to Be Killed.

Butte, Dec. 1.-THE inquest into
the death of J. G.. Cunningham, who
was killed by his brother-in-law, L. L.
Felker, few days ago, was begun to-
day. The testimony was intensely
interesting to large number of spec
tators, who are divided in their opin-
ion regarding the motive which led
to the killing There is a strong sus-
picion developing which is not to be
taken as complimentary to young Eel
ker. Mrs. Felker, swore she saw
Cunningham draw a knife as he bent
over his wife who lay i'll in her bed.
Witness McKinsley swore that he saw
Felker with knife and pistol in his
hands after the killing, and the cold
body of the victim, upon examination
by physicians tells, in grim silence,
the story of an incision under one of
the shoulder blades. The testimony of
Mrs. Cunningham will be taken to-
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. She
is still i'll in bed.

NEW YORK SkYSCRAPERS.
Six Thousand People In One Building
10000 Letters a Day.

There are in New York perhaps
two dozen letter carriers for whom
heat and cold have no terrors. They
are the men who serve the mail to
the tenants of the skyscrapers.
Their routes lie not along the ex-
posed streets, but up and down cor
r.uors, stairways and in elevators
where the temperature varies but lit
tie the year round.
They never go out of doors in the
course of their days WORK. MAJ.
matter is. brought to them in wagons,
elevators hoist it to the .op story OF
each building, and thence heavily Ia
den they work their way down gradu-
ally, floor after floor, until they reach
the ground in time to NEE the next
wagon with it's load
Some of these tall buildings go even
further and have boxes and pneumat-
ic tube systems for carrying letters,
and are reckoned in the postoffice
manner as complete districts in
themselves, separate and distinct
from the community in the midst of
which they stand.
In twelve building standing within
nalf mile of the postoftice the num-
Der of letters delivered daily aver
ages 144,OOO This is more than are
delivered in twelve districts in GER
tain residence localities.
The New York Life building receives
on an average of 10000 pieces of mail
every business day. Inc Pulitzer
building frequently receives more than
this in one Day, according to the rec
ords of the postoffice department.
The Ives Syndicate building in Park
Row averages $4,000 .otters day.
The American Tract Society building
and the Equitable bun ding each av-
erages 10000 letters ,aily, and the
\, ashington Life, Mutual Life, Postal
Telegraph, Singer, st. Paul, Home
Life and Dun buildings run down
the gamut from 1900 to 1000 let
ters a day. Inis does not take in
to account the outgoing mail, which
is quite as great.

skyscraper introduced grave prob

die of a route would more than occu
py all of carriers time, leaving
him none for deliveries along the resi-
of the route. And as these tai
building continued to reach higher
and higher into the air, even the
whole time of one carrier was fount
not sufficient to cope with the work
Skyscrapers had to be isolated iron
the rest of the route, and in theDls
one several carriers had to be es
pecialiy assigned to denver the mail
So the New York Life, the lvin:

builulng also must be reckoned in
proportion to the ground area.
The WINS syndicate building is
twenty-nine stories high and receives
$4,000 letters daily. But the New
York Life covers large city block,

taken by the Two carriers to the Of
fees on the various floors. The re-
naming third is tanen care of by the
box man. These boxes are neces-
sary, because there are no door boxes
in the Equitable building. The com
pany owning the, building will not
allow letter holes to ~e cut in the
uoors. Instead the boxes are pro
vlded as places where -e..ers may be
left during the absence of tenants
from the building.
The mail room is therefore as busy
a place in it's small way as is the
main postoffice itself. The pouches
ana the carriers coming and going,
the constant stream of tenants seek
ing mail, the roar and rush OF the
shuttles in the pneumatic tubes, the
telephone calls of tenants inquirins
for the arrival of mail and the click
of the telegraph instrument all com
bine to make the room the most in
teresting and certainly the noisest in
lne building.
,, 1t is the rule OF all the carriers OF
mail for skyscrapers to divide the
structure into as many parts as there
are carriers. II there are three car
riers and tWenty-nine floors, one car
rier would take ten floors from the
top, another carrier ten floors from
the bottom and the third man the
remaining intermediate floors.
, Each man carries his letters in the
elevator to the top of his section and
! works downward, using the stairs fol

THE CITY WINS.
In a Legal Battle With the Water
Company,

Company.
Helena, Dec. 1.-THE city of Hell
ena won decisive victory in the SUI
preme court here today in it's litiga-
ton with the Helena Water Works
company. The court affirmed the
Judgment of the district court Of
Lewis and Clarke county in a manda.
mus proceeding brought by the water
company against the city to compel
it to pay $1,000 per month water rent
for five years from the time the city
entered into contract with the COM
pany, August 1, 1897. The city has
paid the water rent for five years
from the time the city entered into the
contract with the company, Aug. l,
1897. The city has paid the water
company upon the contract since May
II, 1898, refusing after that date to
pay $1,000, on the ground that the
contract had not been legally award
ed, in not advertising for bids, also
that the city had exceeded the 3 per
cent limit of Indebtedness. The lower
court denied the mandamas and the
company appealed to the supreme
court. In the decision by Associate
Justice Word, the supreme court holds
that the city had exceeded it's limit
of Indebtedness at the time the con-
tract was entered into, therefore the
contract was illegal.

Various Exposition Crowds.

The Paris exposition, though some
times described as a failure, has truly
failed magnificently 1t has broken all
records for worlds shows in regard
to attendance. In seven months 50,-
100000 visitors passed through it's
turnstiles, more than double the num-
Der who visited the worlds fair at
Chicago. 1t is interesting to note
how these shows have grown in pop,
ularity. In 1851 100000 people at
tended the great exhibition in Hyde
Park. Four years later the first
great show in Paris was visited by
100000. In 1867 Paris drew 10000,
900 visitors, in 1878 she attracted 16,

Got the Other One.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. ia spec.
ial sent from Brooksville, Ind, says:
John Rolla, the third of the negroes
employed in the murder of Hollie ST.
mons, was hanged to tree in the
court yard by mob of about 100
men from Rockport at $50 O'Clock
this evening Not shot was fired
and everything was conducted as
quietly as if the execution had been
under the sanction of law, Rolla was
was brought to this place about 3
o'clock, in charge of the sheriff Ct
Rockport county, and upon his arrival
he was placed in a cell on the second
floor of the JAIL and his presence was
known to only few citizens. few
minutes after o'clock 10C men
marched through the principal streets
of the city to the Jail and demanded
that the prisoner be turned over to
them. Sheriff Hudson was out of
town and his deputy, Raymond Cher
ry, was in charge of the Jail. He de-
clined to give up the keys of the Jail
and members of the mob at once be-
gan to batter in the walls of the Jail,
with telegraph pole, which was
handled by a dozen or more men. AS
soon as hole large enough tc admit
the body of a man was battered
through the wall six members Of the
mob crawled through with sledge
hammers and broke down the door OF
Rollas' cell. A few minutes time was
consumed in the march to the jail
yard in which a rope was thrown over
limb of the tree and hundred will
ing hands pulled the rope, and sent
the negro's body flying into the air
The loose end of the rope was ticd
to a tree and as soon as the members
of the mob were sure that their work
had been completed they left in as
| hurried a manner as they entered the
town. None of the mob wore masks
and to all appearances men of every
station in life took part in the lynch
ing. Not a shot was fired before o.
after the lynching, and except for TIT
