Statlord, traveling agent of the American Building and Loan Associations of Minneapolis, Minne sota, organized a local branch in Flor ence this week with a good subscrip- ioh list of shares. The association is Three Governors at Once. A Charleston, West Virginia gram, dated March 4th, says: At noon to-day General Goff, the re publican candidate for governor, and the claimant of the office, took the oath in one of the rooms of the State House set apart for the use of the governor, and about the same time, in another apartment, President Carr, of the Senate, also took upon himself the prescribed oath, and prepared to tran ssiet the buginess of the office, while in bis private office F. W. Wilson, who his filled the office for the past four years, continued to discharge his ac customed duties, and in and about the State House there was gathered a tre mendous crowd of people, about equal ly divided between the two political parties. About 12 :J0 o clock General Goff and several friends came into the Cap itol and proceeded to the private office of Governor Wilson, who was also sur rounded bv bis friends. General Goff mounted a chair and addressed the crowd which had assembled in the room. He claimed that he had re ceived a clear majority of the votes cast, charged Speaker Woods of the House of Delegates with having failed in the performance of his constitution al duties in not declaring the result, and said : "I am now ready, in the presence of these people of my state, to kiss the holy bible and commit my self to the destiny that awaits me by virtue of the partiality of my fellow citizens." The oath was then administered by II. C. McWhorton, after which General Goff proceeded to Governor Wilson's private office and demanded possession. Governor Wilson was surrounded by a dense mass of his friends and party leaders. In reply to the demand he said he was of the opinion that the legislature, as a co-ordinate department of the government, in joint assembly, had exclusive jurisdiction to ascertain and declare the result of the election, and no title could come from any other source. He felt it his duty to continue in charge. President Carr made a similar demand after taking the oath, and was sinnlajly refused, and thus matters stand.

McGinnis, who is the engineer in charge of the construction work for the St Louis company, now owning the Mohawk canal, the South Gila ditch, the South Gila canal and the Agua Caliente springs, the report er has gained considerable information. Mr. McGinnis spent several days in this city, visiting his family, and re turned to his work last night. He states that the South Gila Ditch will be completed for a distance of 25 miles bv the 15th instant. It has a bottom width of 10 feet at the head and for several succeeding miles, and of 8 feet at the end. It will carry 10,000 inches of water, and considering that it is in the Gil river bottom it is thought that it will reclaim 40,000 acres of land. The colony which recently ar rived has prepared a large area of land which will certainly be brought under cultivation the present season. A number of nice houses have been put up. The town of the colony will be Christoval, which will shortly be sur veyed. The survey of the South Gila canal, which will be 55 miles in length and cover about 140,000 acres of mesa land will begin in a few days. I he company also contemplates the erection of a fine resort hotel at the hot springs on this side of the river at an early day.

A good field has long been open in this place for an independent association which is now filled by the above named society, and it is expected that some tangible benefits will shortly be realized by its members. Discovery of Kleetion Fraud. The first fruits of the investigations into the big republican majority in St. Louis at the November election is given columns of space in two morn ing papers of that city. A complete canvass of the city has been made un der the direction of Assistant United States District Attorney Knapp, and in the reports received by that official it is claimed that dead men, non-resi dents and negroes not designated as colored on the registration lists, were voted. The assertion is made that prominent citizens are involved, and a ereat sensation is promised, as a re sult of these investigations, four per sons, all colored, have been arrested by the United States authorities, it said that other arrests will follow.

Mrs, Kate Maxwell, the Belle Starr of Wy oming, closed up a gambling house at Bessemer, Monday night, recovered several thousand dollars which had been lost by her cowboys, and then saved the lives of the two gamblers, just as the infuriated cowboys were going to string them up. She is known as "Cattle Kate," and runs a small ranch near Bessemer. Sunday she was robbed of $1,500 by her own men here. Suspicion was aroused against the gamblers. Their room at "Besses mer was crowded Monday night when Kate strode in accompanied only by her foreman and both armed to the teeth. While Kate covered the dealer with a six shooter. Mason, her fore man, secured the box and showed the crowd that game was an unfair or brace one. This enraged the cowboys and Farelv and Bodell were terribly beaten, and told to prepare for alynch- ing. The ropes wer? in sight when Cattle Jtate interceded for the two wretches, and announced she would divide their money, amounting to several thousand dollars.which she had secured.

Ex 1 he finest turnouts in the country and the best stock at Drew & Bam rick's livery stable A Dlitrsccfui Scene. A Washington dispatch of March 3d, gives the following particulars of a disgraceful scene in the senate that has no parallel in the history of that dignified body. It says: Senator Riddleberger of Virginia was ejected from the Senate Chamber to night. The thronged galleries ap plauded vigorously as the sergeant-at-arms of the Senate and one of his principal deputies seized Riddleberger at the command of the President pro tem, Mr. Ingalls, and forced him from his desk, to. which he clung, and push ed him into the cloak-room whence he was taken to a safe retreat. Riddle berger has been under the influence of liquor for some time. To-night h was unusually ugly and kept the floor almost continuously objecting to the transaction of all kinds of business. Ingalls ignored his interruptions and several bills were discussed and passed. On Riddleberger hiccoughing his ob jections, Ingalls announced that he declined to recognize the Senator from Virginia further, and Riddleberger sank back into his chair and wasqid-H for a moment. In a short time he was again on his feet obstructing bus iness. The crowds in the gallery were amused at the spectacle. A number of Senators went to Riddleberger to calm him. Butler of South Carolina spoke to him and urgad him to be in order. Vest of Missouri next triad to quiet him. Then Sherman made an effort to bring him to his senses. Hoar tried a little New England persuasion lhen lellerot Colorado whispered a few words, but Riddleberger paid no heed to these friendly counsels. After Ingalls refused to recognize im further, he telegraphed to Govern or Lee of Virginia his resignation and then took the floor again to interrupt business. Ingalls then directed the lergeant-at-arms, Colonel Canady, to remove the benator lrom Virginia from the chamber. Canady and a deputy advanced. Canady placed his hand on Riddleberger s shoulder and whispered a word. Riddleberger shook his head, and then Canady pushed him slightly toward the cloakroom. Riddleberger then seized his desk and clung to that. The sergeant and his stalwart deputy then forcibly ejected him from the chamber, and took him to some safe place to recover his senses. Ihe Senate proceeded to transact its business as soon as this disgraceful scene was ended. Riddleberger, when removed to the cloakroom, quieted down, and after about a quarter of an hour left the Capitol for his hotel in the company of a friend. Ariaona Land Declalon.

At the dedication of a Catholic Parochial School building in Pittsburg on Sun day, Bishop Kane of Wheeling deliver ed an address, in which he severely denounced the public school system of America. In the course of his re marks he said the public school sys tem was divorced from moral and re ligious training. He could not understand how it was just for a poor man who has no chil dren to be compelled to pay a tax to help educate the son and daughter of a millionaire. The State, he said, has no more right to tax a poor man for the education of a rich man's children than for the support of the rich man's family. He denied that the Catholic Church was opposed to education, and said: "The great problem that confronts us to-day is the same as that which confronted the people in Apostolic times. There were schools then, but they were Pagan schools and the only way to counteract their effect- was to establish Christian schools. That is what the Catholic Church is trying to do in America now." Washington, March 6. Commis sioner Stockslager of the general land office, has rendered an important land decision in the Tumacacon and Cala- bazas private land claim in Arizona holding there is authority for restrain ing the survey of such claim for tw reasons: First that the land being within Gadsden s purchase of 18o3, is not operated upon by the act of July 22nd, 1884, and of the treaty of Gau dalupe Hidalgo; second: that the "preliminary survey" of a private claim does not of itself operate as a with drawal of surveyed lands from settle ment, and the entry in the cases in curred by said act of 1853 are legal, the withdrawal being only of lands actually claimed or which shall be legally claimed. Under this holding neanv three million acres ot land in New Mexico and Arizona are in a state of unlawful reservation from settle ment.

Our Djsert Lands and Irrigation. Every day the subject of irrigating lands for the purpose of cultivation is becoming more important. The gov ernment lands capable of cultivation without irrigation are being rapidly taken up by settlers, and the necessity of redeeming the and plains is press ing upon us. I he trials which have been made indicate that cultivation under a proper system of irrigation is so much superior to that which de pends upon the rains and. dews of heaven that it is only a question of time when the lately called esert lands will bloomr blossom and' fruit beyond the hope of the vaUeys'wbich wait upon the clouds. Many thous ands of fertile acres are only waitiug water to fit them for theplqw of the husbandman. I here is pKm v ul wa- er going to waste among the. moun tains and in the valleys. The only question is how 'shall it be saved and distributed. . Private enterprise is do ing much in this direction, but in many sections the expense involved is so great and the results to" be obtained so large that it is believed that the na tional government will have to under take the work or at least assist in it As inhabitants multiply and consump tion increases, the nation cannot afford to hold idle and useless lands which at a comparatively small expense can be made productive, addiug to the wealth and happiness of the people and to the strength of the nation. l he question has already attracted attention in Congress and will doubt less occnay much thcught and time in future legislative assemblies Chi cago Inter Ocean. Aa Mu ol Danger of Contagion from Diph theria in Mild Canes as in Severe Ones. That diphtheria iu all its forms is conta gious seems to be an undoubted! (act, and iu se vere cases every precaution is taken to pre vent its spread. But tbe danger in wild cases is quite as great, from tbe fact that fewer precautions are generally taken. A physician claims that what is commonly called follicular tonsilitis in one patient may produce tbe severest kind of diphtheria in another member of the family. On this point Dr. Jacob! is quoted as fol lows: What has been called follicular tonsllltl Is mostly diphtheria. It is seldom dangerous to tbe patient, as tbe tonsils have but very little lymph communication with the rest of the body, but it is contagious. This form is fre quent in the adult, in whom it loses nothing, however, of its contagiousness. . Diphtheria in the adult proves dangerons to the com munity, mostly because it does not restrain the patient from coinmuuicating the disease. It is apt to last long: First, because most cases occur on a surface covered with pave ment epithelium (tonsils); secondly, because of the constant exposure and neglect on tbe part of the patient. Even without it, diph theria may last weeks and more; with It, it is subject to sudden relapsea As lung as it lasts it is contagious. As diph theria is but a mild affection in many adults, who disregard it and fre quently do not care to mention its existence, pain in swallowing and moderate malaise be ing the only symptoms, the question of trans mission by means of clothing, etc, on the part of third persons is capable of becomkig more difficult to answer than it ever was. Many a case which has been believed to be thus carried is probably one of direct con tagion from a patient to a second person, from this second to a third. Another authority explains that tbe con tagion of diphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough and measles is due to microbes given off from the skin or breath of the patient. They either float in the air of the room, or become attached to the furniture, walls and bedding. Infested rooms and persons should, therefore, be avoided; while attendants are advised to keep their stomachs in an active condition with digestible food, but should not overload them. Most microbes are digested and rendered harmless by a vigorous stom ach. A Cure for Round Shoulders. Annie Jenness Miller, of dress reform fame. tolls that she has seen a stooping figure and a halting gait, accompanied by the unavoid able weakness of lungs incidental to a nar row chest, entirely cured by the very simple and easily performed exercise of raising one's self upon the toes leisurely in a perfect per pendicular several times daily. To take this exercise properly one must take a per fect position with the heels together and tbe toes at an angle of 45 degs. Then drop the arms lifelessly by the sides, animating and raising the chest to iu full capacity muscu- larly; tbe chin well drawn in, and tbe crown of the head feeliDr, as our professor used to put it, as if at tached to a string suspended from the ceiling above.

It is wonderful what a straight ening out power this exercise baa upon round shoulders and crooked backs, and one will be surprised to note how soon the lungs begin to show the effect of suoh expansive development. abolition of slavery.

Tbe Abuse of Milk In the Diet. Tbe advantages of using a great deal ef milk are very generally urged, but a Cana dian physician uow claims that there may be an abuse of this usually healthful beverage. It is especially contra-indicated in cases of acute rheumatism. In a number of cases cited, all the patients had been large drinkers of milk and their respective temperatures were over 1US. The pain was also extremely severe. They were put upon a diet of thin water gruel flavored to taste and a mixture containing ten grains of salicylate of .soda to be taken in half a tumbler of weak lemonade Ka very two hours till relieved. Inside of thirty- six- hours the symptoms bad, in every case, aluoosj entirely disappeared. Drew & Bamrick are the maill con tractors to Silver King and Pinal. The be6t stock quickest andtime made .

Washington, In the array register of 1780, is set down aa "commander-in-chief," while in the register dated Jan. I, 1783, he is de scribed as "general and commander-in-chief." The rank of general was revived by the act of July 4, 180H, under which Grant was pro moted on Jafy "SO. Grant bad previously, Uorch 2, 1864, been promoted lieutenant gen eral, under the act of Feb. 29, ISM. gher man was promoted lieutenant general on July 35, ISS0, when Urant. ob tained his generaicy; he was pro moted general March 4, 1SG9. Sheridan was promoted lieutenant general on tbe same day. As the grade of general bad been limited by an act of congress to Sherman, and that of lieutenant general to Sheridan, the latter was not promoted when Sherman retired. In June last, however, a law was passed reviving the generaicy of the army, which was signed by President Cleveland at once; under it Sheridan was promoted on June 3, 1888. The rank became extinct on bis death last July, the rank of lieutenant general having become extinct on bis pro motion. The highest rank ot our army now is that of major general commanding ths army Who Would Be Inanffuratedt Query. Whether Levi P. Morton, vice president-elect, can take tbe president's chair, if Harrison was to die to-morrow I If the president-elect should die before In auguration Day, the vice president-elect would be inaugurated, and act as president, but if the qualified electors had not cast their votes, the case might be different, as the elec tors can vote for whom tbey please. In the case of Horace Greeley, congress decided that the electors could not vote for a dead man and so tbe three votes for Greeley from Geor gia were not counted. The other Democratio electors divided their vote thus: For Thomas A. Hendricks, 43; for B. Gratz,6rown, 18; for Charles J. Jenkins, 3; for David Davis, L Accepting this precedent it follows that if Harrison should die before the electors act in February, the Republican electors could choose Morton or any other man; and if they should divide, tbe election woultll to the bouse of representatives. In other words, ths people do not elect a president; that is done by tbe electors. SorvlceaM Sugscstioa.

There are twelve candidates for gov Sister Fannle's Marriage. Charles McAbe, aide-de-camp, and Lieutenant lannie Lawton thereupon arose, and accompanied by Kev. Thomas Lawson, the bride's brother and by Capts. Findly and Miss Keefe, stepped forward. The clergyman per formed the ceremony in a few words, but the gallant officer proved a sorry bridegroom, for when told to put the ring on his bride s finger he did not know which was the correct member, and to add to his dereliction of plain duty he was so ungallant as to neg lect to salute his bride. Nor did the clergyman act any better. At one juncture it looked as though the bride groom had screwed up his courage to the kissing point, but it failed him and the fair bride took her seat un- saluted. S. F. Chronicle. Morals of Society Pojranetnalltj- Causes Much Discord. Mrs. Qherwood discusses in The World some of tbe minor sins against the etiquette ot good society, and among other things she says: Nothing is more common than the im morality of keeping one's friends waiting. It Is the privilege of a few people in this world to be so fascinating and so worth wait ing for that we are ail willing to be sufferers in this cause. The anticipated pleasure of seeing them when they do come is so great that we are willing and anxious to have that anticipated pleasure put off until tbey are ready to appear. But tbe re;t of us are Dot so fascinating perhaps it is a birth right of which we have been defrauded aud we find if we do keep people waiting theft we grow iccidedly unpopular, and people can do without us very welL Perhaps we keep a friend waiting who is nervous about her horses; they take a severe cold, be cause we are not ready at the hour appointed. Does she call for us again! No; not unless we are unusually fascinating. We promise to play the accompaniment at a friend's bouse for a siuger. We are not punctual, and 250 people sit with the added anxiety which a postponement causes, and the whole music becomes a discord because we are tardy. We intend to go to a reading, but we are late and enter after tbe silence has fallen on the crowd. Perhaps we overturn a chair. and all the company is disturbed. We promise to be present at a business meeting, where six or seven ladies, all as busy as bees, are waiting for us. We are late, and the six other ladies are defrauded of a day of time which is more precious than diamond dust. Tbe sands of the hour glass in our crowded lives are all diamonds. We cannot afford to lose one of them. Among men the business of being "on time" is a peremptory one, but in society and among ladies there is a very decided and em phatic wrong committed by inattention to this minor morality on which hangs so much. Hardworking people are apt to be irritable, and who works so hard as fashionable women I Therefore people who keep these bard workers waiting are apt to Irritate.

President Lincoln, in considering; the ques tion of emancipation, felt constrained to re gard tbe interests of those slave states which had not seceded trom the Union. In his mes sage of Deo. 1SC3, he recommended the adoption of three amendments to the consti tution, providing for the issue of bonds to compensate states which should abolish slav ery before 1900; for the validation of the emancipation proclamation and kindred measures, and for colonizing free negroes out of the country. Bills to compensate Mis souri and Maryland for abolishing slavery were-introduced by members from those states early in 1863, and received favorable votes in both houses of congress, but the shortness of tbe session prevented the final passage. In West Virginia, by constitutional amendment adopted March 28, 186&f rdual emancipa tion after July 4, 1B63, was secured. In Mis souri the state convention which bad origin ally been called to consider an ordinance of secession, was reconvened, and passed, June 94, 1863, an ordinance of emancipation, taa ing effect gradually after July 4, 1870. Con gress, by act of Feb, 24, 1864, emancipated negro soldiers, compensation of $300 for each being paid to loyal owners, and by act ot March 3, 1865, emancipation was extended to ths wives and children ot such soldiers.
