MIST Liave Been Sanitary.

Both the medical officer and the
surveyor of the Tarvin (Chester) rura
district council have condemned a cot
tage at Caldecott Green, near Farm
don. England, for demolition as in
sanitary. But the tenant, an old man
appeared before the council and told
a remarkable story in stay of execu
tion." He stated that he was 73 years
old, and lived in the cottage with hia
wife and three children. For so years
there had not been case of illness in
his family. His father and mother
lived in the cottage before him; his
father died at the age of 90 and the
mother at SO. He did not think thai
there could be much wrong with the
cottage in the face of these facts. Ir
reply to the clerk the old fellow said
that personally he had never had o
doctor, and the only time a medical
man had been in his cottage was wher
his little son had scalded his leg
Under the exceptional circumstance:
the council decided to adjourn the
matter for further inquiries to be made

Ameer Not Fond of EIattery.

On reading the advance copies Of
some of the addresses proposed to be
given to him in India, the ameer is
reported to have remarked that he did
not quite understand why the address

him when he and they were perfect

PASSENGER Train Wrecked.

| While rounding a reverse curve this
side of Forks Creek Tuesday Afternoon
few minutes past four o'clock, two
passenger. coaches on Colorado &
Southern train left the track and rolled
over on the side. No one was killed but
nearly every one on the train was more
or less injured.
Where the wreck occurred is one of the
most dangerous curves on the road. A
year ago freight train jumped the
| track at this point and an engineer and
track walker were killed.
When the wreck occurred Tuesday after
noon the train was running at speed of
only six miles an hour, which is all that
saved the passengers from being killed.
The injured were placed in the bag
gage car, which with theengine remained
on the track, and were taken to Forks
Creek and placed on the Silver Plume
train that was waiting to connect with a
Central City train before leaving for
Denver. Those injured were from this
city, Black Hawk and Nevadaville.
Oscar Williams, of this city, suffered a
sprained ankle Mrs. Emma Beggs and
Mrs. Nellie Beggs, of Denver, were
slightly injured. Mrs. e. Slater, of Ne
vadaville, sustained tn most serious in
juries of any on the train. She was
taken to st. Luke's hospital in Denver.
A wrecking crew was sent out from
Denver to place the cars on the track.
This work required several hours and
no train from Denver reached here
Tuesday evening. The passengers that
were bound for this city were compelled
to walk several miles in order to reach
conveyances to bring them home. On
account of the wreck the morning pass
enger from here was annulled Wednes-
day morning and the passengers for
Denver were taken past the wreck on a
hand car to Forks Creek. Tuesday
evenings mail was brought to Black
Hawk on a hand car and brought from
there here in wagon. Wednesday
mornings passenger train arrived on
time.

French Gambling Houses.

When the French government is
landed for having inaugurated a cam
paign against gambling houses it must
be remembered that it is taking action
only against clandestine ones. The
Municipal gaming houses which -four

foreigners still exist in order to pro
vide municipal funds. At such places

Less Motion Than Emotion.

Two men were coming into Denver
from a nearby town on local train
the other day. The train stopped
every five minutes, 1t seemed, and one
of the men became impatient. Finally
when the train halted for the engine
to get up steam the mans impatience
overflowed.
Now. what do you think of this
train?" he said to the other.

Ashbauuh APPOINTED District JUDGE.

Flor Ashbaugh was last Friday ap-
pointed judge of the First district to
succeed Judge A. H. DeFrance, de-
ceased. Ashbaugh and his supports.
principally John F. Vivian, had worked
hard for the appointment but Tramway
Bill Smith, who is Evans, right hand
man wanted Dier Of Golden and it looked
as though he would land the plum for
his man. Thursday evening Ashbaugh
had practically given up all hope of be-
ing appointed and was satisfied with the
assurance that for gracefully stepping
down and surrendering his claim to the
Office this time, he was to receive the
nomination at the next state election.
However, Vivian and Smith got to-
gather Friday morning and with mutual
consent agreed to give the appointment
to Ashbaugh. AS the outcome of the
affair was highly satisfactory to all it is
apparent that some kind of deal was
framed up. 1t is claimed that in con-
sideration of having received the judge
ship by appointment Ashbaugh is not to
seek the nomination in the fall of next
year.
In landing this high and most import
ant position Ashbaugh's hopes and am
bition have finally been realized. To
begin with he had to work hard for the
nomination fast fall and was compelled
to resign the county judgeship before
his party would consent to making him a
candidate. He was nominated against
the strongest man the Democrats had,
and man it was generally conceded the
very moment the campaign opened he
had no chance of defeating. Ashbaugh
made surprisingly good race, though,
and was beaten by slim majority.
The principal fight made against the new
appointee last fall and last week when
he was seeking the appointment was
his inability to properly discharge the
duties of the Office. He has contended
right along that he is qualified and all
that he asked was an opportunity to
display his ability. This opportunity
has now been given him and it is up to
him to make good.
The new judge few days after he
was officially notified of his appointment
named some of the clerks who will serve
in the various counties during his term
of Office. M. X. Sullivan was appointed
to serve as clerk in Gilpin county. 1t is
probable that the appointment of Mr..
Sullivan will only hold short time as
he is waiting to pluck more juicy plum
one containing more saccharine matter
in Denver as soon as it is ripe. The
new court stenographer has been sci
from Georgetown. Morris Hazard, the
retiring clerk who has held the position
in this county twelve years, will take {
well earned rest before he engages il
any other occupation.
