FAILING FAST.
lncessant Mourning for Her Daughtst
Telling On Mrs. jefferson Davis.

Washington, D. c., March 21.-
Especial to The Republican.)-A few
people who saw Mrs. Jefferson Davis
during a days visit in Washington just
before she went to New Orleans, say
that incessant mourning over the loss
of her daughter Varina is making great
demands upon her physical strength.
She has aged very much in three years.
Her friends are wondering how she
will stand the strain Of the public 70
ception In her honor at New Orleans.
When she is in the north, Mrs.
Davis makes her home with her cousin
Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, wize Of the pro
prietor Of the New York World. There
is a deep attachment between Mrs.
Davis and Mrs. Pulitzer. Before Miss
Varina Davis, the daughter Of the
Confederancy," died, she used to
spend a great deal of time with hef
mother al the Pulitzer home In Bar
Harbor. Most Of her literary work
was done there.

STRIKE
OF FOUR FEET OF GOOD ORE
MADE IN THE DOUGLAS MINE
A DAY OR TWO AGO.
Mine Owned by state Auditor Grant
and A. /. Mcksreher, One Mile
West Of the Rambler, Reports
Good Vein At Depth Of Eighty
Feet-Mine viii be Worked by
Machinery-Notes.

Walter Pyle, employed in the Ouch
ess mine, owned by Grant & Mcker-
cher, and situated one mile west o.
the Rambler mine, arrived in the city
this afternoon, bringing word OF a ind
in the Duchess that will be Of interest
to mining men generally. The shaft
is now down eighty feet. and at that
depth a fourfoot vein of frst-rate cop
per ore was found. The vein is in the
shaft four feet wide, and no one knows
how much wider 1t is.
Messrs. Grant and McKercher are
both here today, and have decided up
on a full set of machinery for the
Duchess. This will consist of a COM
plete hosting plant and cage, a shaft
house so by 80 feet, an engine house
20 by 20 feet. and a saw mill. The
shaft house Ia. the same size as that at
the Rambler, the shaft being also the
same size, 4 by 8 feet In the clear.
Ten men are now employed In the
mine and are working full time. The
output will be greatly Increased by the
addition Of the new machinery.
Mr.. Pyle says = great deal Of inter
est centers around the discovery, and
that all the available claims between
the Rambler and the Duchess have
been taken, mi some sales have been
made In the last few days.

SUPREME COURT WILL
MEET NEXT MONDAY.

Next Monday, March "a. the state
supreme court will hold a session. says
the Cheyenne Tribune. and unless at
that time the attorney of Charles
Woodland makes an appeal for a new
trial the condemned man will be hang
ed by the neck until dead one week
from today.
It VAS generally supposed after the
report was sent out from Casper that
an appeal was to be made that such
action would be taken at the earliest
opportunity, but absolutely nothing
has been done. The supreme court
was in session Tuesday, and on that
day woodlands attorney vas III Chey-
enne, but male no move toward fur
thering the interests of his client.
At Casper preparations for the hang
ing are being made. The plans for the
scaffold have been completed, and part
Of the framework is finished. The rope
with which the execution will occur
has been selected, a twisted hemp band
of pure white.

In the United States court yesterday
morning Judge Riner handed 1Pwn de-
cisions in two of the most Important
cases, from the point of money involv-
ed, in the history Of the state, says the
Cheyenne Tribune.
On the demurrer OF Amanda S. Hos
mel to the plaintiffs petition and the
demurrer of Amanda S. Hosmer and
Edward s. Hosmer to the cross petit
ton Of Davis s. Wegg in the ase Of
the Wyoming Railway & Iron company
We. e. 8. Hosmer ct NJ, Judge Riner
overruled the demurrers and instruct
ed the Hosmers to file answer within
twenty days. Special k3Rster IN Chan
Gerry Robert Morris viii. take testimo-
ny within ninety days. The cas- in
wolves the title to the Village Bell, Sun
rise and Lone Jack mining claims In
the Hartville district.
In the a 8 of Susan Dixie vs.. J. B.
Dixie, Judge Riner decided in favor of
the defense and ordered q decree en-
tered, Diminishing the bill at the plain
tih's cost. This case involves nearly
$3.50, 200. Susan Dixie of Washington,
D. c., sued to set aside a sale made to
her son, J. B. Dixie of Lost Cabin. Wyo.,
of 100000 worth of stock in the Big
Horn Sheep company and to recover a
share Of the profits from June 6. 1898,
to date. The increase Of the sheep sold
and other profits brought the amount
involved to in the n~eighborhood OF
$150,000.

Tire FENCERS' CLUB
. LIVELY ORGANIZATION OF
MALE AND FEMALE SWORDS
MEN AT CAPITAL.
Composed Of Not Only Men Who Have
Acquired This Dextrous Art But
Many Women As Well-ladies
Caused a Dissolution Of the Old
CIub-AIl Serene Again.

Washington, D. c., March 21.-(Spe-
cial to The Republincan.-Some old law
instructor advises his pupils to SO per-
feet themselves in the refInements of
their profession that, like a skilled
fencer, it may be possible with a slend-
er 1.-the cane, to parry the blows of a
bludgeon in the hands of a bully. The
Washington Fencers Club is composed
not only of men who have acquired
this dexterous art, but has among its
members many women These latter
are so expert that they need not re-
sort to the women's natural weapon, a
hat pin, to repel attack, but might
readily use a parasol to protect them
selves.
To the Washington Fencers' Club is
due the honor of this revival Of sword
play. Three years ago Count Cassini
presided at the Inauguration IL it Sew
eral combats were arranged during
that winter, some Of which were given
in public for the benefit Of charitable
organizations. The following season
| other battles took place, and indivi-
dual members Of the club patronized
and encouraged exhibitions by profess
| sional swordsmen. Among the most
prominent amateurs were Prince
Troubetskoy, the painter who married
Amelie Rives Chanler. and Signor
Trentanove, the well-known sculptor.
These two men being nothing II not
ladies' men, undertook the instruction
Of many Washington bellies in the art
Of defense.
Everything went smoothly until the
beginning Of this season, when some
of the younger men, who were pas
sionately devoted to the exercises, OBJ
jected that the presence Of ladies at
the club prevented close attention to
practice. A new organization was
therefore started, with Mr.. Daryl
Quackenthrope and Mr.. Percy Wynd'
ham, secretaries Of the English en-
bassy, a. the prime movers
By the end Of February, the young
sters concluded to sue for peace and
re-entered the old organization and
agreed to tolerate the women and ever
encourage their presence. The bes'
fencers show plainly that they would
rather contend under the encouraging
eyes Of the fair bellies than where crit

Foundry May Be Closed.

It was impossible to confirm among
offcials Of the motive power depart
ment OF the. Union Pacific railway yes
terday the report that the foundry at
the shops was soon to be ~discontinu-
ed, says the Omaha Bee. 1t was stated
however, that such a move would be
a gradual one, and could not be con-
summated in less than many months
time.
Among the molders meanwhile the
idea that their place Of occupation is
soon to be shut down has gained strong
credence, and considerable anxiety ia
resulting. Seventy-hve men are employ
ed in the foundry. and they average In
wages about SO a month. 80 this as-
Uegates an item Of some size and i'm
portance in an Industrial community.
Not only are locomotive parts made
in this foundry, but also general mach
inery pieces. No machines are built
there entire, but all repairing incident
to the machine shops is done. The
adjustment Of the foundry would
mean that this work must be done
somewhere else and arrangements
would doubtless be made with some
large foundry company to do all the
Union Pacific work.
At present the construction of the
pattern shop Is being push. This Is
just west Of foundry and the dimen-
sions are 2OOx50 feet. One end Of The
first floor will be set aside as the pat
tern shop, with ten men employed.
The remainder Of that floor and all OF
the second floor will be pattern store
room. The foundry could not easily be
discontinued till this storehouse is fin
ished. At present the pattern shop
force is working in a portion of the car
shop, where quarters are considerably
cramped.
