chamber aud quickly took seats in
the body of the hall. The Bable
covered bier stood in front of the
clerk's desk ard handsome floral

Doctors Butler and Cuthbert, en

The announcement that New

the location of the proposed world's
fair before the senate through a
special committee wae.. present to
attract a crowd to the capital that
speedily exhausted all accommoda

room, where hearinc was held,
there was such a pressure for ad
mittance that the committee con
templated repairing to tbe senate
chamber, but found that a rule of
that body forbade the use of the
chamber for any other purpose
than its own sessions, except by
a special action of the senate. Mr.
Depew was the first speaker, He
was listened to throughout with
closest attention and was frequent
ly interrupted by applause from
Now York fc-upporters. He said
they weie here, to a number of 100
or more leading citizens of the
metropolis, representing every
interest of welfare to the city of the
state and of the whole country, to
urge the claims of New York for
the world's fair.
"In oavcrsation with various
representatives of various countries

was shot and killed by Harry
Baer, one of the proprietors ct tne
largest eamblimr houses in the
Northwest, at an early hour this:
morning. Baer was in the act of
ejecting a man from the house for
stealing chips, when lie was as
saulted by "Big Mac." After bear

arid shot his assailant. The latter

Baer is well known all over the

owned the largest and finest brick
in the city. Sentiment is that the
shooting was justifiable.

Philadelphia's Rich Bankers.
Cincinnati Inquirer.
The house of Drexel arose in
Philadelphia somewhat earlier than
that of Jay Cooke, commencing
with a Tyrolese artist who painted
pictures and shaved notes and cur
rency. Upon careful foundations
he raised a house which, a the
decay ef Jay Cooke, seized upon
many great occasions, and drawing
in such men as Mr. Morgan, of New
Encland. began to play a vast in
termediatc part between railroads
and investment and general r.nan
cial directions. The fortunes of
the three Drexel brothers, though
not as large as some fortunes in
New York city, have been in the
affgregute probably $23,000,000 to
S'o0,000,000. These bankers were
wise in drawing young blood into
their departments and buying ex
perience as princes formerly bought
great military commanders. The
Drexels have recently absorbed
the stock exchange of Philadelphia
into their huge marble block
which they put up on Chestnut
street, opposite the eld hall of con
grcss, and between that aud the
bank of the United States, which
still stands and is the American
custom house. A portion of that
ground was covered by the l'hila
delphia library which Franklin
founded and before which his stat
ute stood.
Diamonds Now and then.
London Truth.
A day cr two age I was reading
in a contemporary a scries oi inter
views with persons engaged in the
diamond trade. Twenty years
ago diamonds were three times
their present yalue. The discovery
of tbe South African mines brought
down the price. Amalgamation
has put it above 100 per cent in
tbe last twelve months. The
rough is that during the last tew
yearn tbe output of diamonds has
been 4,000'000 carats per annum,
and that 46,000 has been spent
per annum ia acquiring these 4,
000,800 carat9 when converted by
cutting into salable articles. These
4,009,000 carats of rough diamonds
only produced 1,606,000 carats of
cut diamonds, and it cost 10s per
carat to cut them. The South
African mines being now amalga
mated the outpnt ia reduced to one
half that is, 2,009,000 carats; and
it is estimated that this will still
produce 4,000,000, ecaue this is
taken as a fixed amount which, no
matter what the price of diamonds
mty be, will annually be spent on
these gems. Whether this will be
the case or not is the z in the pro
blem. . A LOVB MATCH.
George Taaderbllt Engaged to

The engagement of George Van-
derbiltto Miss Mary Johnstone,

CKEUR'D'ALENE LANDS
A Large Slice Obtained by the
Government. ..
THE INDIANS ARE SATISFIED.
Over Two Hundred Thousand Acres of the In
dian Ef serration Seonred by Treaty Rich
in Minerals and Timber.
A conference between the Cujur
d'Alene Indians and the officers of the
Government was held at De Smet
Mission, Washington, recently, re
sulting in the signing of t treaty by
which 220,000 acres ot the most valua
ble land of the Caur d Alene reserva
tion was conveyed to the United
States. The tract conveyed embraces
the largest portion of the beautiful
Cceur d'Alene lands, on which is an
amount of rich nvneral and fine tim
ber. Tbe Indians were well satisfied
on all points, and signed the treaty
ulingly.
The papers signed were final for all
treaties, one of which was negotiated
in 18S7 and last August by the com
mission appointed for that purpose,
one of whom was Cant. N. B.
Humphrey of this city. The first
treaty includes the land on which
Spokane Falls and Farmington, are
located. The land embraced in the
lalt treaty is a twelve-mile strip on
the north side of the Cceur d'Alene
reservation, a portion of which lies
acoss the Spokane river from Post

THE DISMAL SWAMP.
Was It Chosen by Defaulter SiUott
as a Hiding Place?
Washington, Jan. 11. It is said
that Silcott did not flee to Canada at
all, but that the great Congressional
defaulter is in hiding in the wilds of
the dismal swamp of Virginia. The
story sprung from a hunting trip Sil
cott toi k a few days before his final
disappearrnce. lit went to the dis
mal swamp, returning - wit.li an
unusual amount of game, and at the
time was heard to say that if anybody
wanted to hide securely the whole
force at the command of the United
States army could not find him if he
selected the dismal smamp for a hid
ing p.ace. The story is not generally
believed, but ex-Sergeant-at-Arms
Lcedom will probably have a search
made of the swamp. Meanwhile, the
special committee having the affair in
charge, will probably in a few days
report a bill carrying an tppropriation
to make good tha loss ot members by
the defalcation.
A GREAT DISCOVERY.
PerKonal Insolation Again&t Elec
tric shocks.
The electricians in this section of
Pennsylvania were invited by
Superintendent Jacob Pfetcb of
the Erie Motor Company to wit
ness a test of personal insulation
recently. Pfetcb, alarmed at the
fatalities in New York and else
where studied day and night to
arrest the danger lying in tbe
overcharged wires. Ue fortified
himsell. and taking hold of tbe
buzz-rod of tbe dynamos in his
bare hands, which he had dipped
in water, he stepped upon a pile of
wet dirt and received the full
charge, over 500 volts, the force
used to operate about tea miles of
road. To tbe surprise of every one
the electricity did not ground and
the superintendent felt no effects
whatever. This invention is a
secret to himself and upon which
he will apply for a patent at once.
The insulation, it is said, enables
linemen and others to handle any
wire with safety and is an absolute
protection.

A HUSBAND'S VENGEANCE.
He Kills the Man Who Deprived
Him of His Wire.
Kansab Citt, Jan. 11. A Liberty
(Mo.) special says : Tbe facts of
the killng of James Luyton by ex
County Attorney Sheets yesterday
and the cause of the : quarrel be
tween the two men became kaown
to day. Luyton was a brickmason
from Barry, 111. Last August he
married and, after a brief bridal
tour, returned here in search of
work, stopping at the house of his
brother-in law. Robert Cchen.
There the young bride met Sheets.
An attachment sprung up between
them, and Luyton was induced to
zo to California, where mason's
waes were represented as being
much h:bcr t'u'.n here. Dnrin
the husband's absence Mrs. Luyton
accompanied Sheets to Kansas -City,
and lived there with him as
bis wife, Luyton returned unex
pectedly a few days ago and learn
ing of his wife's infidelity, deter
mined to have revenge upon her
betrayer. Luyton called at Sheets'
office several times, but did not
find him until yesterday evening.
Then occurred tbe tragedy as told
in last night's dispatches.
