The Ualt House, a small Inn hi Morehead. was sur- rounded by the Tolllver gang and riddled with bullets because Mutt L'arnf. the proprietor, was a friend of the Martins. Matt Carey und bis brother James.wltb Sheriff Cook Humphrey and H. M. Logan, left the town and went to tb top of a neiuhiioiing hill to walcn the difflcuitr. Alexander liradley nnd a negro named Jake Daraihuii. who were In the house at the time, veto miriniwiy wounded. The Tolllvers made it complotii wtei'k of the bouse, and compelled the Curovs and Logans to leavo the place In a hurry. They seeinnd to direct their spite aimuiat Conk Humphreys, and would not let him art us him nit. and be agreed to give up tin- - place, appointing in his stead a man named Dillon, but ihn guiii: would not let bim serve, Humphreys's deputy, lluuingariler, was fired mi Trout Urn bushes and killed, aud the otbr deputies infused to place their Hies in jeopardy. The militia were brought to Rowan and established peace tor the time, but as soon an they left the trouble again broke out. Z. T. YottnL', IYnsecutlug Attorney, and n friend o( Tnlliver'e, was tlredon from the bushes several timei by members of Hie Martin gung. About this time Ed I'lerc. another notorious desperado, was arrested In Oresnup county, and bis statement that he and Jeffltayborn bad been employed by the Martins to assassi- nate Young uud six others was, with the attempted assassination ol Young, suf- ficient to open war again. On June 38 Craig Tolllver went to Mrs. Ben Mar- tin's bouse to arrest Cook Humphrey, wbn had taken refuge tbsre. Ben Itayburn. one of bis friends, was wltb bim when Tolllver and bis agslstnnt. Jeff lion ling, came to arrest tln-- Tolllver left, but came back with re and, surrounding the boua, de- manded the surrender of Itayburn und Hum- phreys. The demand was refused, and Tolll- ver, on attempting toenterthe house, wa fired on by Hrmphruys. five or six buckshot taking effect in tils body, and be fell. Humphreys and linvburn then left tne house and run for the woods. The gang fired on them, killing ltuvhurn, but Hum- phreys, although badly wounded, escaped and joined his friends. Mrs. Martin and ber dauebtera were arretted on a charge of com- plicity in the shooting of Tolllver aud taken to jail. That night their house was burned, with nil its contents. A warrant wus issued for Humphrey, unit tbn Coroner. Crlt Johnson, with the constable. Bob Mercer, went to serve the warrant. They went to a place culled Christy's Cieek, where they were ambushed and the Coroner waa killed, Mercer escaped, although a Hundred shots were fired at bim. When Merrer an ived at Morehead and im- parted the information ol Johnson's deutb, th Tolilvcrs were furious nnd committed tbe wildest excesses. The military was ordered out. arriving the next day. and remained there until the Circuit Court was over. At this term the ToiIIvts wore docldedly In the majority, and the jurors, composed principally of their friend, infused In punisti them and ac- quitted Tolllver and bis accomplices. During the trial Tolllver Mas placed under the room where 1'earcn. hit old enemy, whh confined, and h hole liuruud by a fire wus left open in the floor that repurutcd them.

The arrival of tin- - guard prevented either accomplishing their purpose. When Oliver was acquitted he wss arrested ami taken to CliK'iuiintl. uud tried on a charge ol steuilug. committed some veurs ago. from a reiatii. lit. aping from justice through want of evidence, he leturned to Morehead, und tins kept quiet ever sluce. On Christmas night he went u itii As miry Crist, bin intimate friend, to tlm adjoining town of Murtlusburg. El- liott county, to a dunce. Crist took a youui: woman to the dance, and during tlm nltlit the bullying, domineering spirit of Tolllvere reasserted Itself, nnd he took til girl uunyfrom his friend, Chrlsi, seeing the grl prefetred Tolllver to himself, became In- furiated, and, after exchanging some words witu TolllM-r- , leltths house. Iteturnlngshnrt-I- ) alter midnight, he learned that Tolllver haJ taken the girl to her home und was with ner. Tb ii he deteiinlned to be revenged.

The girl wss uuhurt. and. recognizing tlm murderer. gave the alarm. A number nl scouting parlies were organized und are still scouring the country fnr Crlt. Thus died by the hand of his friend one of I the most notorious dnperadoes Kentucky ha ever known.

Tho DcmocrnU of Wisconsin are laying plans to capture tbe seat of 6enatnr Sawyer of that Btate. whose term expires at the end of the present Congress. Postmaster-Osner- Vila Is to be tholrcandl-date- , nnd with the prestige ol his oBlo-Mbe- hope to ovurbAlance the greut popularity of the present Hsnator. Tb latter Is bv no menns alarmed, aud expects to aucoood himself tu spit of all florU to displace bim. The Senator Is on of tb shrewdest politi- cians In Congress, and has bad just the train- ing to make bim a bard fighter In a political campaign. Though born on the Vermont side of Lake Champlaln, the most of his early years wer (pent at Crown l'olnt. In New York, then tb csntr of the lumber trade of i tb Lak region. He received there an ordinary common school education, but topped school going early In life to earn tbe mean of supporting himself. II regarded it as a pleos of great good fortune when be waa engaged by Messrs. I'enfleld i. Hammond, lumber merchants, to drive one of their teams for $12 a month. Even on this salary he managed to layby several hundred dollars in tb course of tin or twelve years, and in 187 he took what b had and started for tb West. AVout that time the Government advertised a sale of itenslvn tlmbsr lands In Wisconsin ' Territory. Young Hawyer. prolltlng by his ex- - parlance wltb tho lumbermen In New York, sent ' surveyors over the whole tract, who picked out the most desirable lots and made rueinorauda of them. U then offered to give the benefit of bla iuformatiou to some New Yoik land speculator Iu return for a share In the aroflts, and his offer was at once accepted, speculators from Boston arrived on tb ground and discovered what had been done. Knowing that his backer) did not have capital enough to get control of all tb bait lands. Bawyer proposed to the ttostnn partlea that they join him and his friends and share eqiiaby with them. But they declared that they "would rather have n bare bone aud buve it themselves thnn share with anybody else." However, it wan too lato for them to have the laud surveyed as hawyer hud done, and the only recourse was strategy. The salo began st about 11 o'clock In the day. Whenever a good lot was offered. Sawyer put In his bid. which was Immediately raised by the party from Boston. Muvh tu his chagrin, some of tbe tracts on which he had most set his heart passed thus to the rival spec- ulators. This happened so often that be could not fail to see that he was being used as u very convenient catspnw. Accordingly, at 12 o'clock, h nsked that the sale be adjourned until 2 I. M as he had Im- portant busiuess to attend to and was very anxious to be present at tbe auction. This all parties agreed to. When tbe sale was reonaned at 3 o'clock Sawyer had a friend fully instructed to bid in the choice lota while he led the enemy astray. "During the afternoon." said Senator Saw- yer, in telling the story the other day. "my man got bold of about 25 QUO acres of first-cla- tlmbsr land, while I hud a bad lot of about five thousand acres left nn my bands." The profits from tbat day's purchase formed the basis of Senator Sawyer's fortune, now estimated at two millions of dollars. The story as it whole illustrates the shrewd quali- ties of tbe man and furnisbis un assurance to his political friends that he will not be ousted from bis seat In tb Senate without a shrewdly planned resistance. The occasion of the Senator's recent repeti- tion of the story was his meeting at lunch, the otherduy, with Mr. Daniel Turner, the father of Uoas Turner, the artist. At the time when , young Sawyer was working for l'enrleld A llamuioud ai Crown Point. Turnerwasapriuter . In a town a few mile north of there, und was (lightly acquainted wltb Sawier. A few years ago. when Turner wss appointed Clerk of the Customs at Alexandria. Va.. and the in- - cumbent officer made strenuous efforts to re- - tain bis place. Senator Sawyer became one of tbe strongest advocates of Turner's confirma- tion, an aavnaucy which was successful Iu spite ef the vigorous opposition of llnscoe Conkling. Mr. Turner tells another story of Senator Sawyer, which has been told but is worth repenting. Tbe Senator has two chil- dren, both daughters, whom he trained to work In bis kitchen, as though be did not own u dollar's worth of property In the world. On a certain Thanksgiving Day. when he considered their educutfon In the culinary arts about complete. he told them that bo expected particular friends , to dinner and wanted them tn expend all their skill In preparing the beat und daintiest dishes for his guests. The dinner was prepared und passed along to the dessert to the salslactlon of nil enncerned. Whan the dessert wss served each of tbe daughter found under ber plate a check for I25.0o0. Mr. Turner has returned In bis old oge to his early occupation as printer, and has recently ranted an office to suit his needs from one of hlssuccesHora in ths clerkshlpof customs, who has turned real estate agent. It may be men- tioned here at the end thar Mr. Hammond, lately a representative of New York in tbe House, is a son of the Mr. Uummnud by whom Senator Sawyer was once employed to drive team. THE JCXTOUMCD MlNBttM. Mills Dope ef lleeiiverlni Their Baaiea Tka Mlnpa tu ba Abandnned. WlLKESBAltltE, Dec. 26 It la now among' tbe probabilities tbat No. 1 slope of tbe Susque- hanna Coal Company, at Nantlcoko. will be en- tirely abandoned, and tbe bodlos of the men who were drowned or euffucatod therein al- lowed to moulder away. This conclusion has not yet been arrived at by the company's offi- cials, but It Is the general belief that it will be soon. Tbe reasons for this cour.se are obvious to those only who fully understand the true situation of affairs. In tbe first place, the fact I made manifest now that tbe man cannot be dug out. The place where tbey are 1 chucked up with all kinds of ddbrls, consisting chiefly of quicksand, coal dirt, and water, tbe whole mass having somewhat tbe appearance of mortar used In laying brick. To remove this Is tbe hardest kind of work, but the great trouble Is that us fast as it la taken out It run in again. The company might work the place for a whole year, nnd then not re- cover the bodies. This would entail an ex- pense of fully $200,000. When the cave In llrst took place It was the opinion nf tbe most experienced miners that the flow of coal dirt Into the slope would cease nfter a certain period. But now, after a lapse of one week, the conclusion bus Imen reached that It will flow iu for an Indefinite period. The Immense coal dirt bunk covers an area of thirty acres, and Is over 200 feet high. It Is here that all the refuse mailer from the break- ers is dumped. It is on flat ground, directly over a worked out portion nf the mine. In about tbe centre of tile great dirt bank there is an immense opening Into the earth, 150 feet wide. When the earth's crust gave way under I be immense weight of the com dirt it went down Into th mine a distance of 250 feet, car- rying wltb It on immense quantity nf water, which lay somewhere under the bank of coal dirt. This conglomeration of water, quloksand, and coal ilirl accounts for tbe liqiildlike form of the debris which tbe men are now trying to remove from the workings of the mine. To ' prevent tbe culm from flowing Into the mine It would ba necessary to remove a great part nf th culm bank away from the hole which opens up Into the mine. This would take very hourly n veer's work, and consequently is out of lbs quustion. Since it seems almost Impossible to And lbs bodies, the proposition that the company wall in the mine und erect a monument over the spot where the men are meets with general favor. If th" company adopt this proposition una ins relatives are willing, it win payio me relatives nf th dead members tlu.OOO m be divided amnng them. Sonio of the relatives, however, will not accept a money consideration lor the dead men's remain, hut will insist that tbe company continue in ! work of attempt- ing to clour the mine. Should u majority of the friends of the dead miners insist on this the company will sink a shaft over the placo whure the inun are ami ai tempi in Und them. But even If the company does sink the shaft tlm chances are that the men will rot be found where thev are supposed to be, While It was at first believed that the men were In the chain-tier- It Is now almost universally believed that they were csuulit n the gangway and buried in the diihris.

Tho little Christmas Ireo that tho Hcnnrgrr ohlldren were rejoicing over when tbe news came of their father's death still stands In the little dark bedroom. The candles and sugar tors are still on It, but they do not look as pathetic ns they did two dins ngn. Death w.is In the house then, together with starva- tion and cold. Now, although the husband and father Is In his grave, tho little liouso Is warm, tho larder stockod, nnd the widow and orphans are comfortably clad, whllo In the Qerman Savings Bank ore funds enough to keep tbe wolf awav from the battered door for n long time. The effect on tbe family of this unoxpsctod change fro'ra famine nnd despair to comfort nnd hope Is marvellous. Mrs, Henneger bus broken words of thanks now for the persons who coma to her aid, and the baby. Instead of screnming under tho fentlior tick In the dark bedroom, bontriB on nil visitors from bis mother's arms, Tho other five children tn their nnwwarm things and wltb plenty to eat nnd a good fire have changed so much and huvo such bright faces that otio wou.d hardly know them to bo the pitiful little wretches who huddled shivorlngtogotherwhon their father was brought home dead.

Tor more thnn half a century a big sign has Bwune outside the door tolling that tbat was The Miners' Arms, and during tbat time tho old Inn has sheltered many hundreds nf stal- wart adventurers on their war from England to the West. Kino years ago a dozen stalwart Cornlsh-ino- n, fresh fioui thu tin mines of Cornwall, walked Into the Arms from Cnsllo Garden with their bundles over their shoulders and asked whero was the boat place to mnkn a fortuno Among them wns Frank Williams, a stalwnrt young miner with a powerful body, a powerful ' Cornish accent, and powerful llttlo money bo- - yond what ho needed to buy a mug of beer and pay his car fare to tho West, His clothing was the clothing of all Cornish men, made to wour mid nut tor stylo, and he put on very few airs Indeed. ' When tbe other minors went West he went with thorn, and that was tho last that thu Minors' Arms saw of hlm until yostorday. Then thero walked calmly and majestically ' up to tho bar n being not easy to recognize as the avvkvviiid voting limn from Cornwall. A very lino uud lustrous silk hat decorated the top of his head. A fierce and oiy black mnustiicho curled upwind from Ills lip. anil his speech wns lull nt the poetic free- dom of thn Wild West. But it was 1 rank It, Williams just thn same. Under his at in he carried it box of white pinu. such as are ordlniirlly used toistow dominoes in. Thnt hn laid down on the bur. and, culling up the crowd, drew the cover oil and muled nut chunks ol mineral wrapped up in fragments of n back: number of somo Western news- - ' tmper. He handed tkuso chunks around in prnud silence, beaming with satisfac- tion on his old friend Landlord Hamilton, who was almost ton tiitt'h surprised tn ehnke bands. The chunks nf mineral wore bluish In color, with streaks of yellow running through tlnMii very plentifully, and hem and there n little nest of yellow stutl all by Itself. F.very-bod- y know that wus gold quartz, and admiring ovee giuod upon the Corue-liliia- "bo d her for ijO.uOd," thill Indlvldunl Inenn- - i Icilly remarked.

Kvurvbody ilrank whnt he considered to be the iliieet stuff going. The stranger waved a bundle nf green- - backs the size nl nil Inliuit's bend nt the laud-hu- d. und overvboey diiiuk again. Lurbudy drank twice more alter that. Then tbn man, selecting frnm the bundle a comfortable hiiiidful of cash. tulTed it into his nocket, stowed Ihn rot In the siifn, and gratl-Ho- d the hungry cars around him. His tale was short, but freiiuetit vviiviugs of the narrat- or's right arm lengthen",) it nut much, " When I led hoie." Frank Williams snld, "I went to Coiorudo, and knocked around lorn couple of years getting gold expel ience. tint not much gold. 1 lull ou. thuso vvero burd times." Tills pnrt of the tnlo was carofully nnd solemnly washed dnnn, "l'mm I went just about every- - whores, working and prospecting, nnd get'lng nlong as well as I could, I can tell you, ViTJng fellows, is'ht now before you start out, that it's no easy job making a foi line." Beer, porter, whlskev. brandy, nnd even ginger ale. are crowded side by side ulong the bar. "Finally,-- ! drifted down nmong the mines of Tonnesse. Alabama, uud North Carolina. There - nn such thing as picking up money iu tho brooks there, J can tell ou. it was hard pick- ing. Finally, two sears ago, 1 made up my mind Hint It wus no use roaming around. Luck lin-n- 't lost any Cornish men, and isn't looking for nnv. You've got tn work to get at hei. I thought there w.is mntiey niul gold in the qunttz veins of North Carolina, und 1 made up my mind to lonk for it ttiere until I found It. 1 prospected and prospected, and at I ist I did Und it, not far from Charlotte. I got control of a hundred acres of the ground that covered the gold, nnd I showed pieeosof the iiunrtz to speculators that vvre nosing around nil over. 1 got a letter telling me lo come hero to New York, nnd I came hero null those chunks and showed tiium to the parties that were bucking the nosers. Isold thu ground y for f Stl.llOO." At the conclusion of the tale there was a grand rally, which nnlv tn be suc- ceeded by more rallies that kept right nn. Lam last night Frank Williams wns still cele- brating his good luck with a crowd of Cornish miners whn work ns foremen on the aqueduct. Ill- - talk was all Cornish then, uud only tlm glossy silk hat and the little chunks of blue Blone remained in toll of the buoyant West. Most of the men thought that luekv Wi- lliams would take his 10.000 nver tn England and Mve a nabob all his days. But that is not Mr. Williams's stile. Ho said J5H.iU0 was a good entering wedge. He was going to take that wedge out West with hlm. uud niuko his million vet. Tlm f'i.OUO In cash which lie bnd otnrod In tho Bife was Kiitliid enough, nnd so. the landlord said, were the gunrini"os given to Ytiilinms for the oilier J13 000. Williams ..aid 1m hud been In town for several davs, but bad stopped at niin nf tho fashionable up. town hotels. ' He wanteil to wait until he hud the money In his pocket befoie coming back to the old Arms, so as to appear Iu irood condition his Cornish friends. They told him his condition couldn't be liner, und the jolly time kept right on. it Is well enough to tell eonll-d"iic- .i men right heie that Frank Willlnins weighs a good ileal, and that It will really not bo worth their while to swarm around.

It Is pretty safe tn av. therefore that the (tuinrnmo'it lias published since lt organl7atloti 75.O0J distinct works; so that the "l'ub Docs.." n they nro Irreverently called, would alone mnko a library thnt would rank among the largest In tbe country. The most complete collection of those docu- ments Is that In tho lloston 1'ubllo Library: the next In fulness Is found In the Congressional Library, and the third largostcolloctinn Is prob- ably owned by the antiquarian book llrm of Aiil'IIiii A Co. of this city. These dealers nre now completing a fit set of public documents from the Tweiity-thlr- d Congress. Duly a tew volumes are liuesing, and these tlmy expect tn (lud. and when the collection Is llulshed thoy estimate It will contain u'll.tion titles. The price of this library la set ut iU.llnO. nnd. lis nil the volumes which compose It were printed nt the public expense ami distributed gratuitously, this sum should represent a good proilt to middlemen. The documents aro nf nil sizes, nnd relntn In every Imaginable topic. Some nro great thick quartos, like the eetistis volumes nr the ' Med- ical History nf the War." And ut tho other ex- treme are thousands nf pamphlet reports on small mnttors. Itut it should be noted that the bills Introduced In the Congresses uro uot In- cluded in the titles. IT they nein, the total would be high III tha liuinlinds of thousands. The largest single publlcutloii ever uinl"ltnken b the noverntnent Is th" Tenth Cens.ts," which, If completed, would llllnbout tweniy-lnii- r bilge quai to volumes. Umy half of these have been Issued or ever will be, but even as it - the Cen- tennial Census Is pinb.ihly the most vo- luminous public document, not counting, as one serial, the various iiutiiiiil reports. No doubt the llnest and costliest giotip ol tuiMlca-linn- s relato to the linverniuutil survevs. Many of these reports urn uprbiy gotten up, co- piously iUiisiruled, ntnl uccoiiiputiled by maps of tho highest sclentillc and mechanical excel- lence. One speciil eeries of twenty sen-uni- titles relntes to the c.'ihai routes of tho Isthmus of l'uiinmu. Then there are reports of expeditions to the Arctic mid to the Amazon, reports on the cludein. un blnls. uud bugs, nnd grussns. nu various, blanches of political economy, on the Indian from every htnml point: man r elaborate loports on patents: the learned vnluines put forth under the mis-(de- of the Smithsonian Institution: Mich bulky documents as the eteiiogr.iphii nf the Mnr Hotlle trials uud the liiilteuil trial; codillcatlons of the laud luvvs. and the many publications relating to the civil war. 'I hese are all exeeii hn dce'ii-mom- s, put nut. that is. by I. in di'purtmoiiia. Then. In ndditlnii. then) are the Congressinn.il lioeumotits, which llieludo the llmiiil. which alone has now swollen to seven or ten thick unit ti for each Congress: the great vnluines lull of tedious and Interminable testimony lu committee Investigations, uud the ibousuuds of Hniuilercottimlltee reports. The pace nf the Government pro's has kept up with tho rapid progress nl the country In all directions. According to l!i Index tho docu- ments for the llrst quarter of a cetituv were about U.IIOO. for the next quarter. f!.50i): for tho third quarter, 20.000; for the foui lb. !.-50- niul the nunu.i. output now runs up tn uboiit four thousand titles annually. Then It must be remembered that the editions are much larger than In the early days, lbirely are loss than 5.000 copies of a il.ieuineiit printed niul frequently the edition is many times that size. Or th" annual report of .lie Commissioner of Agricultuto UOO.000 copies are Issued and distributed. The United States Government Is, In short, the greatest publishing house In the world. 1V tho side of Its lesuuicus such an ns tho Harpers' becomes quite small.

State olllcois apparently forget that they urn Democrat-- , nnd imagine that they vvern elected by and for Mugwumps. County ollloia s con- cede to themselves the nrmgnuco that they wore either elected by Uepubite.itis or on ac- count of their good looks or Mugwump disposition. Judges conclude that a part of their great mission is to m.iiio some important decision ngiliist the piny that elected them, iu order to show that tlmy are Judges.

    'I he trouble wus renewnd in April. 1885. CraigTolllver ortiunlrlni: a gHng of desperadoes andmaking wur on the friends nf Martin. The UaltHouse, a small Inn hi Morehead. was sur-rounded by the Tolllver gang and riddled withbullets because Mutt L'arnf. the proprietor,was a friend of the Martins. Matt Carey und bisbrother James.wltb Sheriff Cook Humphrey andH. M. Logan, left the town and went to tb top ofa neiuhiioiing hill to walcn the difflcuitr.Alexander liradley nnd a negro named JakeDaraihuii. who were In the house at the time,veto miriniwiy wounded. The Tolllvers madeit complotii wtei'k of the bouse, and compelledthe Curovs and Logans to leavo the place In ahurry. They seeinnd to direct their spiteaimuiat Conk Humphreys, and would not lethim art us him nit. and be agreed to give uptin- - place, appointing in his stead a man namedDillon, but ihn guiii: would not let bim serve,Humphreys's deputy, lluuingariler, was firedmi Trout Urn bushes and killed, aud the otbrdeputies infused to place their Hies injeopardy. The militia were brought to Rowanand established peace tor the time, but as soonan they left the trouble again broke out. Z. T.YottnL', IYnsecutlug Attorney, and n friend o(Tnlliver'e, was tlredon from the bushes severaltimei by members of Hie Martin gung.

    About this time Ed I'lerc. another notoriousdesperado, was arrested In Oresnup county,and bis statement that he and Jeffltaybornbad been employed by the Martins to assassi-nate Young uud six others was, with theattempted assassination ol Young, suf-ficient to open war again. On June 38Craig Tolllver went to Mrs. Ben Mar-tin's bouse to arrest Cook Humphrey,wbn had taken refuge tbsre. Ben Itayburn.one of bis friends, was wltb bim when Tolllverand bis agslstnnt. Jeff lion ling, came to arresttln-- Tolllver left, but came back with re

    and, surrounding the boua, de-manded the surrender of Itayburn und Hum-phreys. The demand was refused, and Tolll-ver, on attempting toenterthe house, wa firedon by Hrmphruys. five or six buckshottaking effect in tils body, and be fell.Humphreys and linvburn then lefttne house and run for the woods. The gangfired on them, killing ltuvhurn, but Hum-phreys, although badly wounded, escaped andjoined his friends. Mrs. Martin and berdauebtera were arretted on a charge of com-plicity in the shooting of Tolllver aud taken tojail. That night their house was burned, withnil its contents. A warrant wus issued forHumphrey, unit tbn Coroner. Crlt Johnson,with the constable. Bob Mercer, went to servethe warrant. They went to a place culledChristy's Cieek, where they were ambushedand the Coroner waa killed, Mercer escaped,although a Hundred shots were fired at bim.

    When Merrer an ived at Morehead and im-parted the information ol Johnson's deutb, thTolilvcrs were furious nnd committed tbewildest excesses. The military was orderedout. arriving the next day. and remained thereuntil the Circuit Court was over. At this termthe ToiIIvts wore docldedly In the majority,and the jurors, composed principally of theirfriend, infused In punisti them and ac-quitted Tolllver and bis accomplices. Duringthe trial Tolllver Mas placed under the roomwhere 1'earcn. hit old enemy, whh confined, andh hole liuruud by a fire wus left open in thefloor that repurutcd them.

    tka Bail, arfcla Former la lae Weal.Washixotojt, Dee. SO. Tho DcmocrnU of

    Wisconsin are laying plans to capture tbe seatof 6enatnr Sawyer of that Btate. whose termexpires at the end of the present Congress.Postmaster-Osner- Vila Is to be tholrcandl-date- ,

    nnd with the prestige ol his oBlo-Mbe-hope to ovurbAlance the greut popularity of thepresent Hsnator. Tb latter Is bv no mennsalarmed, aud expects to aucoood himself tuspit of all florU to displace bim.

    The Senator Is on of tb shrewdest politi-cians In Congress, and has bad just the train-ing to make bim a bard fighter In a politicalcampaign. Though born on the Vermont sideof Lake Champlaln, the most of his early yearswer (pent at Crown l'olnt. In New York,then tb csntr of the lumber trade of itb Lak region. He received there anordinary common school education, buttopped school going early In life

    to earn tbe mean of supporting himself. IIregarded it as a pleos of great good fortunewhen be waa engaged by Messrs. I'enfleld i.Hammond, lumber merchants, to drive one oftheir teams for $12 a month. Even on thissalary he managed to layby several hundreddollars in tb course of tin or twelve years, andin 187 he took what b had and started for tbWest.

    AVout that time the Government advertiseda sale of itenslvn tlmbsr lands In Wisconsin 'Territory. Young Hawyer. prolltlng by his ex- -parlance wltb tho lumbermen In New York, sent 'surveyors over the whole tract, who picked outthe most desirable lots and made rueinoraudaof them. U then offered to give the benefitof bla iuformatiou to some New Yoikland speculator Iu return for a share In thearoflts, and his offer was at once accepted,speculators from Boston arrivedon tb ground and discovered what had beendone. Knowing that his backer) did not havecapital enough to get control of alltb bait lands. Bawyer proposed to thettostnn partlea that they join him and hisfriends and share eqiiaby with them. But theydeclared that they "would rather have n barebone aud buve it themselves thnn share withanybody else." However, it wan too lato forthem to have the laud surveyed as hawyer huddone, and the only recourse was strategy.

    The salo began st about 11 o'clock In the day.Whenever a good lot was offered. Sawyer putIn his bid. which was Immediately raised bythe party from Boston. Muvh tu his chagrin,some of tbe tracts on which he had most set hisheart passed thus to the rival spec-ulators. This happened so often thatbe could not fail to see that hewas being used as u very convenient catspnw.Accordingly, at 12 o'clock, h nsked that thesale be adjourned until 2 I. M as he had Im-portant busiuess to attend to and was veryanxious to be present at tbe auction. This allparties agreed to.

    When tbe sale was reonaned at 3 o'clockSawyer had a friend fully instructed to bid inthe choice lota while he led the enemy astray."During the afternoon." said Senator Saw-yer, in telling the story the other day. "myman got bold of about 25 QUO acres offirst-cla- tlmbsr land, while I hud abad lot of about five thousand acres left nn mybands." The profits from tbat day's purchaseformed the basis of Senator Sawyer's fortune,now estimated at two millions of dollars. Thestory as it whole illustrates the shrewd quali-ties of tbe man and furnisbis un assurance tohis political friends that he will not be oustedfrom bis seat In tb Senate without a shrewdlyplanned resistance.

    The occasion of the Senator's recent repeti-tion of the story was his meeting at lunch, theotherduy, with Mr. Daniel Turner, the fatherof Uoas Turner, the artist. At the time when ,young Sawyer was working for l'enrleld Allamuioud ai Crown Point. Turnerwasapriuter .In a town a few mile north of there, undwas (lightly acquainted wltb Sawier. A fewyears ago. when Turner wss appointed Clerkof the Customs at Alexandria. Va.. and the in- -cumbent officer made strenuous efforts to re- -tain bis place. Senator Sawyer became one oftbe strongest advocates of Turner's confirma-tion, an aavnaucy which was successful Iu spiteef the vigorous opposition of llnscoe Conkling.

    Mr. Turner tells another story of SenatorSawyer, which has been told but isworth repenting. Tbe Senator has two chil-dren, both daughters, whom he trained to workIn bis kitchen, as though be did not own udollar's worth of property In the world.On a certain Thanksgiving Day. whenhe considered their educutfon In theculinary arts about complete. hetold them that bo expected particular friends ,to dinner and wanted them tn expend all theirskill In preparing the beat und daintiest dishesfor his guests. The dinner was prepared undpassed along to the dessert to the salslactlonof nil enncerned. Whan the dessert wss servedeach of tbe daughter found under ber plate acheck for I25.0o0.

    Mr. Turner has returned In bis old oge to hisearly occupation as printer, and has recentlyranted an office to suit his needs from one ofhlssuccesHora in ths clerkshlpof customs, whohas turned real estate agent. It may be men-tioned here at the end thar Mr. Hammond,lately a representative of New York in tbeHouse, is a son of the Mr. Uummnud by whomSenator Sawyer was once employed to driveteam.

    WlLKESBAltltE, Dec. 26 It la now among'tbe probabilities tbat No. 1 slope of tbe Susque-hanna Coal Company, at Nantlcoko. will be en-tirely abandoned, and tbe bodlos of the menwho were drowned or euffucatod therein al-lowed to moulder away. This conclusion hasnot yet been arrived at by the company's offi-cials, but It Is the general belief that it will besoon. Tbe reasons for this cour.se are obviousto those only who fully understand thetrue situation of affairs. In tbe first place,the fact I made manifest now thattbe man cannot be dug out. The place wheretbey are 1 chucked up with all kinds of ddbrls,consisting chiefly of quicksand, coal dirt, andwater, tbe whole mass having somewhat tbeappearance of mortar used In laying brick. Toremove this Is tbe hardest kind of work, butthe great trouble Is that us fast as it la takenout It run in again. The company might workthe place for a whole year, nnd then not re-cover the bodies. This would entail an ex-pense of fully $200,000.

    When the cave In llrst took place It was theopinion nf tbe most experienced miners thatthe flow of coal dirt Into the slope would ceasenfter a certain period. But now, after a lapseof one week, the conclusion bus Imen reachedthat It will flow iu for an Indefinite period.The Immense coal dirt bunk covers an area ofthirty acres, and Is over 200 feet high. It Ishere that all the refuse mailer from the break-ers is dumped. It is on flat ground, directlyover a worked out portion nf the mine. Inabout tbe centre of tile great dirt bank there isan immense opening Into the earth, 150 feetwide. When the earth's crust gave way underI be immense weight of the com dirt it wentdown Into th mine a distance of 250 feet, car-rying wltb It on immense quantity nf water,which lay somewhere under the bank of coaldirt. This conglomeration of water, quloksand,and coal ilirl accounts for tbe liqiildlike formof the debris which tbe men are now trying toremove from the workings of the mine. To 'prevent tbe culm from flowing Into the mine Itwould ba necessary to remove a great part nfth culm bank away from the hole which opensup Into the mine. This would take very hourlyn veer's work, and consequently is out of lbsquustion.

    Since it seems almost Impossible to And lbsbodies, the proposition that the company wallin the mine und erect a monument over thespot where the men are meets with generalfavor. If th" company adopt this propositionuna ins relatives are willing, it win payio merelatives nf th dead members tlu.OOO m bedivided amnng them. Sonio of the relatives,however, will not accept a money considerationlor the dead men's remain, hut will insist thattbe company continue in ! work of attempt-ing to clour the mine. Should u majority of thefriends of the dead miners insist on this thecompany will sink a shaft over the placo whurethe inun are ami ai tempi in Und them.

    But even If the company does sink the shafttlm chances are that the men will rot be foundwhere thev are supposed to be, While It wasat first believed that the men were In the chain-tier-

    It Is now almost universally believed thatthey were csuulit n the gangway and buried inthe diihris. That pnrt of tbe mine which theromu.iny proposes to wall In Is pretty wellworked out, but, nevertheless, tb loss In coalwould b enormous,

    Kino years ago a dozen stalwart Cornlsh-ino- n,fresh fioui thu tin mines of Cornwall,

    walked Into the Arms from Cnsllo Garden withtheir bundles over their shoulders and askedwhero was the boat place to mnkn a fortunoAmong them wns Frank Williams, a stalwnrtyoung miner with a powerful body, a powerful

    'Cornish accent, and powerful llttlo money bo- -yond what ho needed to buy a mug of beer andpay his car fare to tho West, His clothing wasthe clothing of all Cornish men, made to wourmid nut tor stylo, and he put on very few airsIndeed. '

    When tbe other minors went West he wentwith thorn, and that was tho last that thuMinors' Arms saw of hlm until yostorday.

    Then thero walked calmly and majestically' up to tho bar n being not easy to recognize as

    the avvkvviiid voting limn from Cornwall. Avery lino uud lustrous silk hat decorated thetop of his head. A fierce and oiy blackmnustiicho curled upwind from Ills lip.anil his speech wns lull nt the poetic free-dom of thn Wild West. But it was1 rank It, Williams just thn same. Underhis at in he carried it box of white pinu. such asare ordlniirlly used toistow dominoes in. Thnthn laid down on the bur. and, culling up thecrowd, drew the cover oil and muled nutchunks ol mineral wrapped up in fragments ofn back: number of somo Western news- -' tmper. He handed tkuso chunks aroundin prnud silence, beaming with satisfac-tion on his old friend Landlord Hamilton,who was almost ton tiitt'h surprised tn ehnkebands. The chunks nf mineral wore bluish Incolor, with streaks of yellow running throughtlnMii very plentifully, and hem and there nlittle nest of yellow stutl all by Itself. F.very-bod- y

    know that wus gold quartz, and admiringovee giuod upon the Corue-liliia-

    "bo d her for ijO.uOd," thill Indlvldunl Inenn- -i Icilly remarked. ' .she's worth n million easy,

    but I'm no hog. Put those rocks In the safe."fhuy wore stored uuuv, und nn Imperiitivo

    wave of the stranger's arm brought every mnnIn sight straight up to the bar. Kvurvbodyilrank whnt he considered to be the iliieet stuffgoing. The stranger waved a bundle nf green- -backs the size nl nil Inliuit's bend nt the laud-hu- d.

    und overvboey diiiuk again. Lurbudydrank twice more alter that.

    Then tbn man, selecting frnm the bundle acomfortable hiiiidful of cash. tulTed it into hisnocket, stowed Ihn rot In the siifn, and gratl-Ho- d

    the hungry cars around him. His talewas short, but freiiuetit vviiviugs of the narrat-or's right arm lengthen",) it nut much," When I led hoie." Frank Williams snld, "Iwent to Coiorudo, and knocked around lorncouple of years getting gold expel ience. tintnot much gold. 1 lull ou. thuso vvero burdtimes."

    Tills pnrt of the tnlo was carofully nndsolemnly washed dnnn,

    "l'mm I went just about every- -whores, working and prospecting, nnd get'lngnlong as well as I could, I can tell you, ViTJngfellows, is'ht now before you start out, that it'sno easy job making a foi line."

    Beer, porter, whlskev. brandy,nnd even ginger ale. are crowded side by sideulong the bar.

    "Finally,-- ! drifted down nmong the mines ofTonnesse. Alabama, uud North Carolina. There- nn such thing as picking up money iu tho

    brooks there, J can tell ou. it was hard pick-ing. Finally, two sears ago, 1 made up mymind Hint It wus no use roaming around.Luck lin-n- 't lost any Cornish men, and isn'tlooking for nnv. You've got tn work toget at hei. I thought there w.is mntiey niulgold in the qunttz veins of North Carolina, und1 made up my mind to lonk for it ttiere until Ifound It. 1 prospected and prospected, and atI ist I did Und it, not far from Charlotte. I gotcontrol of a hundred acres of the groundthat covered the gold, nnd I showedpieeosof the iiunrtz to speculators that vvrenosing around nil over. 1 got a letter tellingme lo come hero to New York, nnd I came heronull those chunks and showed tiium to theparties that were bucking the nosers. Isoldthu ground y for f Stl.llOO."

    At the conclusion of the tale there was agrand rally, which nnlv tn be suc-ceeded by more rallies that kept right nn.

    Lam last night Frank Williams wns still cele-brating his good luck with a crowd of Cornishminers whn work ns foremen on the aqueduct.Ill- - talk was all Cornish then, uud only tlmglossy silk hat and the little chunks of blueBlone remained in toll of the buoyant West.

    Most of the men thought that luekv Wi-lliams would take his 10.000 nver tn Englandand Mve a nabob all his days. But that is notMr. Williams's stile. Ho said J5H.iU0 was agood entering wedge. He was going to takethat wedge out West with hlm. uud niuko hismillion vet.

    Tlm f'i.OUO In cash which lie bnd otnrod In thoBife was Kiitliid enough, nnd so. the landlordsaid, were the gunrini"os given to Ytiilinmsfor the oilier J13 000. Williams ..aid 1m hudbeen In town for several davs, but bad stoppedat niin nf tho fashionable up. town hotels.

    ' He wanteil to wait until he hud the moneyIn his pocket befoie coming back to theold Arms, so as to appear Iu irood condition

    his Cornish friends. They told him hiscondition couldn't be liner, und the jolly timekept right on. it Is well enough to tell eonll-d"iic- .i

    men right heie that Frank Willlninsweighs a good ileal, and that It will really notbo worth their while to swarm around.
