Chattanooga Telephone Fight.

The Chattanooga board of alder
men was the center of the fight last
week over the ratification of the or
dinance fixing the telephone rates in
that city and holding the charter Of
the Hamilton Telephone Complny
in allegiance while the rates are OBJ
served by the Fast Tennessee Com
pany. Only four Of the eight mem
bers were present and all efforts to
secure the attendance of the others
we're unavailing. The four MEM
bers present affixed their signatures
to the agreement. Unless the con-
tract is ratified at once the Hamil-
ton company must put in its system
or forfeit its franchise and the East
Tennessee Company can make such
rates as its sees fit.

bility in the county hospital at Leadville,
Col Runyon was a pioneer He came to
Colorado in the '40s with General John c.
Fremont, and was one of the original party
of fifteen that accompanied Fremont in the
San Juan country. He was dispatch car
rer for Generals Fremont and kearney

companied General Fremont to California,
where he resided for several years Leay-
ing California he returned to Missouri, and
afterward met Green Russell of Georgia
and accompanied him to Colorado in 1873,
and was with him when Russell made the
first gold strike in Russell gulch, near Cen.

He came to California gulch at Leadville
in 1861, where he remained for several
years, and then returned to Black Hawk.

FROM the IOnu0n Ielegrapn-
The British and Foreign Bible Society,
which in few months completes century
of work, has issued no fewer than 1SO,O0O.-
600 copies of the Scriptures, which are now
printed in nearly four hundred different
languages. The actual revision of the text
of the recently completed Malagasi Bible,
apart from the printing, cost the society
over f3 600. This is a trifie compared with
the expense of translation work at the be-
ginning of the last century. Grants by the
society to DIR. Morrison and his assistants
for producing the first Chinese Bible totaled
10000, while to DR.. William Carey and his
associates in the various Serampore YER
sonS the grants of money and material eX-
ceeded 10000. On the other hand, the re-
vision of the Lifu Bible for the Loyalty Is
lands, although 1t occupied three years and
involved 52310 corrections. entailed no
more expense for the six natives who as
sisted the revisers than an annual grant OF
six suits of clothes. The diversity OF
tongues to be found in one country is often
matter of surprise. Last year the So
ciety's agents sold the Scriptures in fifty
three languages in the Russian empire, in
