Mr.. Sornborger explains that as he
has watched day after day the unheed

ultimate disposal made of the object has
frequently presented itself to his mind.
He admits that at first the matter was
merely one of Idle speculation" but
he explains with great force that Of late
speculation has grown into alarm, and
that now he is haunted by the fear that
nothing will ever be done with the mel
ancbOly corpse.
The letter concludes with an earnest
request that a deputation, clothed in
the majesty and power Of the law. be
sent to the cats resting place. 1t is
his earnest wish that the last sIumber
of the unfortunate be not disturbed
by the tramp OF the vulgar horde. He
begs the Commissioners to provide IL a
calm and peaceful tomb.
Warner Stutler. Superintendent Of

Of a quiet tomb is thus completely dis

Since the Senate Committee on APP

concrete bridge to be built over Piney
Branch. on the line Of Sixteenth Street

thoroughfare on the other side of the
bridge.
AS far as can be learned from the En-
gineer Department at this time. there
VIII be no further Improvements on the
street until the bridge has been COM
pleted. As things stand now. the street
IS open to travel as far as PfueV Branch
IL having been improved from Norris
Street to this point at a cost of $4,000.
After the completion of the bridge it
VIII cost an additional S50000 to run the

This amount viii be necessary on ac-
count OF the rolling ground through

was once a well known and decidedly
poor prospectOr. and at Park City. Utah,
where his mining interests center. the

Oldham was married until a telegram
from the happy bridegroom settled all
doubts.
No Idea of Counting.
On January 2. John Oldham registered

cred Oldham had no more idea Of going
counting than he had Of robblng a train.
1t was one Of his ordinary and periodi-

was this peculiar feature of this particu-

DR. Radakoff,' he said, is Disguised
by the picture given by Tolstoi of a
female prisoner giving birth to a child
while in the train. which he thinks is
nothing but an invention of the author.
But what would he say If such facts
as these We're mentioned to him, name
ly: That quite recently woman who
was enciente was subjected to fogging
at Saghalin? Or that enciente women
not infreQuently are sent to the remot-

where there is scarcely any commune
cation at all, and where there can be
absolutely no possibility of getting any
medical assistance whatever" Even
