All Important Happenings Boilod Down and A .sorted for thn Conveniens of Thoe Bearer Who Are In m Uorry and Have no Tim. to TCamt In Bend Ins Loas; Articles. ; The Nevada legislature is in session. Another blizranl has struck the At lantic stAten. The annual conrentinn of woman suf fragists is in session at Washington. The English liattleship Temeraire will be sent to the Bering sea this spring. A mammoth distillery the largest in the South is to bo built at Lonisville. A long distance telephone line between Son Francieco and Fresno will soon be constructed. The town of Cobham, S. C, got rid of bogus English gentleman by giving him a coat of tar an I feathers. In tbe first of the semi-annual debates between Yale and Harvard colleges Harvard was declared the winner. Stories ot legislative corruption come thick and fast from North Ijikola. A general investigation is to be made and live'y times are expected. The certificates of the electoral votes of the various states have been sent to Washington. Tbe certificates and votes were transmitted in a careless and slip shod manner by many states. The recent great storms have played havoc with the mr:OT gauge railroad near Wright. CaL The tunnel is caved in for 800 feet and all efforts to stop the sliding nwi of earth and rocks have thus frr ;-roved futile. Efforts are being made by citixens of this conntry through the state depart ment to secure the release of Dr. Gal lagher, formerly of Brooklyn, who is confined in a BritiiJi prison, charged with conspiracy in a dynamite outrage. Paul lie Heirry, assistant attorney general of Washington, found his wife in New York. Mrs. De Heirry eloped from Seattle several wfflts ago with her music teacher, Edward G. Morse. Po rioirry has forgiven his wife aud will take her home. He says she was tem porarily demented wheu she ran away. The startling announcement of the fidlure of the Capitol National Bnnk of Lincoln, Neb., is reported. The bank was the repository of stale funds and the state had $ij0.000 on deposit when the failure was announced. It is stated that the failure is a bad one, but the exact condition of the bank cannot be ascertained. The North American Navigation com pany has secured from the Pauama Railroad company the sole and exclusive, privilege of billing goods at through rates between San Francisco and all Pacific Coast Points and all gulf and Atlantic ports in the United Sutos. This priv ilege has heretofore been held by the Pacific Mail company. , At a reeent meeting of the corporation of Yale university President ' Dwight read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. Corne lius Vanderbilt of New York tendering the gift of a building for student's rooms to be erected upon the college campna. The building is to be a memorial of their son, William Henry Yrnderbilt, who was a member of the present senior close, and who died last May. Joseph Winsor died at Providence! R. I, recently, aged 84. Ho was au in ventor of considerable prominence. He married seven times and secured di vorces from six of his wives. The seventh, whom he married five years ago, made such demands upon him that ih transferred his large estate to one ,John Morris, on condition that the lat ter would support him as long as he lived. His seven wives survive Mr. .Winsor. Fifty young women attending the fashionable Kenwood institute at Chi cago had narrow escapes from death by fire and an experience with a freezing temperature which they will not soon forget. Fire broke out in the institute building while they were asleep and though there was time for them to dress 'they became panto stricken and ran out Into the open air dad only in their night clothes. The thermometer was seven below sero. A number were quite se verely frost bitten before they were gathered in by neighboring residents. The institute building was destroyed. The majority of the fruit growers of Sonoma county are indignant at the ac tion of the board of supervisors takr Boots and Shoes a' recent session fn reiranl tn ,n.,.. down the compensation of the count v oorucnuurai commissioners and fruit tree inspectors. Formerlv tli siocers and inspectors received $i50 a usy ior eacn aay spent in examining or chards and inspecting fruit trees, but the board cut the compensation down to f 1 a day. The commissioners refuse to work for such recompense and the fruit growers find themselves in a very pecu liar position. They refuse to buy trees that have not been duly inspected, and nurserymen find it impossible to get in spectors to examine their trees. A most dastardly act was committed in Mejced connty recently by a party of men at the Rotterdam colony, about eight miles north of Merced. On the morning of the day the act was com mitted C H. Huffman of tbe Crocker Huffman Land and Water companv re ceived a U tter from Nygh & Watt, attorneys for Steessynen of the Rotter dam cdliy. The letter stated that if the Crocker-Huifman company did not remove a certain piece of water pipe from the land of Steeszycen by 3 o'clock that afternoon the water the nan mil which supplies the town of 3ferced and the surrounding country would be shut off. . The threat was carried out and for thirty -six hours the residents of Merced were without water. Eight armed men for a time prevented the tnrninc on of the water. Pirrv of Merved aimed themselves and went u tne reservoir and the water t 1 - 1 . r - . tui ueu uu w ituoac connicr. The council of the Dominion govern ment of Canada, by order agreed upon last Saturday, had determined to with draw from the season of 1983 all dis criminations, tolls or otherwise, respect ing vessels, persons or commerce using the Welland and St. Lawrence canals. This it is said is more thau our govern ment asked. Advices from Nanticoke, Mi, state that several men were frozen to death I in small canoes, which were canght out and frozen up several miles from land. Some of the men started to walk to hud before the ice was strong enough, and were probably drowned. Three tramps were frozen to death Sunday night near Princess Anne. It is stated the autopsy on the body of General Butler snowed the cause of death was the bursting of a small blood vessel in the brain, caused by a violent fit of coughing. All hie organs were in excellent condition, and but for this ac cidental cause he weuld probably lived many years. His brain weighed four eunoes more than that of Daniel Web ster, one of the largest on record. The Cherokee Strip and Oklahoma convention at Guthrie in resolutions de manded the immediate opening of tbe strip and other Indian lands aggregating 18,000,000 acres; the abolishing of all tribal governments; the compelling of the Indians to adopt the ways civili zation and the admission of Oklahoma and the Indian territory as onej) grand state without delay. A plan to hold the ceremoniaeattend lug the opening of the world's fair on May 1st in a small building at Jackson park, and to charge (5 for tickets, has been rejected by the executive commit tee of the local board. The directors decided that the programme should be given in the open uir and that every body who paid 00 cents to get into the grounds should lmvo the privilege of bearing what was siud and seeing every thing that was done. The Deacon divorce cose v.-ith all its salient features is about making its ap pearance in the New York courts, pro ceedings having been instituted some since by the husband against the wife Deacon is said to be there preparing for prosecution on the ground of adultery, and his wife, having been legally noti fied, will appear by attorney. The in dications are that the case will be even more bitterly contested here than it was in France. Eminent counsel will appear for both parties. . '? J.

President Palmer of the world's fair has written a report to President Harri son, wmcn is or more than usual inter est The great interest of foreign coon- tries in the exposition is forcibly dwelt upon in the report.
