THIRTY YEARS IN SENATE.
Senator Allison is the Oldest In Con-
tinuous Service in the Body.
(Washington Post.)

Senator Allison entered the senate in
1873, and there is now no one a men,
Der of that body who has served con-
tinucusiy as he has done. Stewart of
Nevada was a member and John II.
Mitchell OF Oregon took his seat at the
same time. Stewart was out twelve
years and Mitchell ten years. john P.
Jones of Nevada took his seat at the
same time, but closed thirty years of
service last March. There were some
interesting figures in the senate when
Allison took his seat there for the first
time From the south there was quite
an array of the sO-called carpetbag
senators. Among the well known per-
sOnaSes the new Iowa man met on the
floor thirty years ago were Powell
/ Clayton, now ambassador to Mexico,
and Stephen ". Dorsey, Arkansas;
John =. Gordon, Georgia; John A LO-
gan and Richard J. Oglesby, Illinois
Oliver p. Morton, Indiana; John J. In
gals Kansas; Hannibal Hamlin and
Lot n. Morrill,. Maine; George 5. Bout
well. Charles Sumner and William y.
Washburn. Massachusetts; Zack Chan
der and Thomas W. Perry. Michigan.
Alexander Ramsey and William Win
dom, Minnesota; AdelbeTt Ames, Mis-
sissippi; Carl Schurz, Missouri: Fred
erick T. Frelinghuysen. New Jersey;
Roscoe Conkling, New York; Matt W
Ransom, North Carolina; John Sher-
man and Allen G. Thurman, Ohio ST.
mon Cameron, Pennsylvania; William
G. BrOwnlow, Tennessee; James W
Flanagan. Texas: George F. Edbunds
and dustin 5. Morrill,, Vermont; Henry
J. Davis, West Virginia; Matthew II.
/ Carpenter, Wisconsin.
It is quite a distinction TO be the sole
survivor of an entire membership Of
the senate. While il is true that there
are two men members now who were
! there thirty years ago, Senator Alli-
son has seen them go and their sue
cessOrs take their seats and again wit
messed their return. He is the one man
VINO has been a member and witnessed
! q complete change in the senate, him
self alone excepted

TWO HoLD-UPs LAST NIGHT.

Have Meeting With Thugs.

Two hold-ups occurred early last
evening within a space of thirty
minutes +. NJ. Reynolds, a mining
man residing at $40 ID street, was ap-
preached by a masked man with
revolver on the corner of Sixth and D
streets about Z o'clock. Half an hour
later h J. Hayden, a driver for the
Bamberger Coal compbny was held

his wagon. Reynolds made a run ana

Reynolds was coming down d street
to catch the Sixth street car- He was
crossing the car tracks when a man
with a gun which Reynolds later de-
scribed as being q yard long, came
toward him and ordered him to halt.
The mining man took one glance at the
highwayman and the gun and started
on a run down Sixth street and could
not tell whether or not the robber fol-
lowed him.
