A country paper up the state tells
of justice of the peace who was
called upon to perform a marriage
ceremany. 1t was his first attempt
and he was at a loss to know how To
proceed, but rose to the occasion.
He commanded the happy couple To
stand and be sworn as follows: 'Du
you solemnly swear that you will
obey the constitution of the United
States and the State of Pennsylvania,
and to perform the duties of your
Office to the best of your ability, 5"
help you God?" The couple nodd, d
assent and the justice continued:
"rhen by the power in me vested by
the strong arm of the law, l pro
nuu.ce you man and wife, now aud
forever, and you shall stand cora
mitted until the fine and costs are
paid, and may the Lord have mercy
upon your souls"

'Where is the wandering boy to-

about people that pass, he Is well
launched on the road to ruin. The

AS was to be hoped and expected,
the big fire insurance companies,
domestic and foreign, stand ready
to meet the stupendous losses re-
sulting from the San Francisco dis
aster. The companies are hard hit,
but they realize that in this, as in
other instances of great fire catas-
trophies, notably those of Baltimore
Boston and Chicago, the thing to do
is to demonstrate the wisdom of the
public confidence in their ability
and willingness to pay. Surely it
is within reason to expect that
business enterprises organized for
the spceilicpurpose of affording pro-
lection against money loss by fire
will be prepared to satisfy prompt
ly the demands Of emergencies. 1t
is understood that losses by earth
quake were not provided against in
the politics written by New York
companies, the New York statutes
standing in the way, but as most
of the destruction of San Francisco
property YVES wrought by fire the
the total of uncompensated losses
will be comparatively small. 1t is
d great satisfaction to know that
the in surance companies will
contribute so substantially to the
relief of the stricken California
community.

TODAY'S SESSION
MINING CONGRESS
important Resolutions by Ex-Governor
Prince--De Lavergne Scores
SmeIter Trust.

| Denver, Colo, Oct. 1S.-1ne Ameri
can Mining Congress today listened
to a paper by State Senator F. M. De
Lavergne, of Colorado Springs, on the
subject of the Mutual Relations and
Grievances of the Smelling Trust and
the Ore Producers" He declared that
at the present, the price of a com
modify was entirely determined by the
buyer, and that the sampling was
done by an employe who was paid to
cut down the valuation of the ore
He suggested automatic sampling
as a remedy AS further remedies
for the evils which he declared exist.
ed, he suggested state legislation, nat
onal legislation, amicable agreement
encouragement of competition and
government operation. He believed
the first four remedies sufficient, but
if they were not, he thought the gov.
ernment should be asked to step in
and do something for the country.
Franklin S. Guiterman. general
manager of smelling and refining
company, replied to De Lavergne. He
claimed the socalled smelter trust
had already active competition and
quoted figures to show that since the
combination of smelters had gone into
effect, that there had been a consid-
cradle reduction in charges. He de-
Tended at length the purchase of the
ore of which De Lavergene had COM
planned, and explained some of the
points mdae by the first speaker.
He also stated that the price paid
for ore was fixed by quotations taken
from the engineering and mining
journal. w. R. ingalls,, the editor Of
that paper, stated that these quota.
tions were secured from reports of
actual wholesale transactions.
Among the resolutions which the
committee on resolutions recommends
be passed, was one by Ex-Governor L..
Bradford Prince of Santa Fe, New
Mexico. as follows:
Resolved; that the American Min
ing Congress respectfully request that
the Congress of the United States
shall provide a law for locating a
working the mines of reserved metals
gold, silver and quicksilver on

EMPTIED THE BOTTLE
THEN SUCCUMBED
Jesue Mirabal, Died on Floor OF

Too Freely Of Whiskey.

Heart failure is ascribed as the
cause of the sudden demise of Jesus
Mirabal, who was found dead about
II o'clock last night at the home OF
Cleofas Blake on Lower San Francis.
co Street. A verdict to that effect
was returned by the coroner's jury
at the inquest held over the remains
an hour later by Justice of the Peace
Jose Ma. Garcia.
1t developed at the official investi-
CATION into the circumstances sur
rounding Mirabals death thathe was
intoxicated when he came to the Blake
house earlier in the evening. One OF
the witnesses at the inquest testified
that when he laid down to sleep on
the floor that he drank large guam
tity of whiskey. He placed a flask
half filled with the liquor to his
mouth and swanowed the entire con-
tents before he set the bottle down.
A few minutes later he was sound
asleep.
The Blake woman was the first to
notice that he was dead. She thought
that he was unusually still and after
receiving no response when she called
to him, she placed her hand to his
face and found that rigor mortis had
developed. The face was cold and set
in the embrace of death and the con-
dition of the body indicated that life
had been extinct fully an hour. It
is supposed that the imbiDing of such
large quantity of whiskey affected
the heart and that death actually en-
sued within few minutes after the
fatal drink.
DR.. David Knapp was summoned
with all possible haste and pronounc-
ed the man dead. He stated to the
coroner's jury that death in his opin

O'Clock this morning there was no

to adjust their differences and Should
