Tlio only Diomnors of the legislature illscorniblu were Senators Conger and 1'ullor and lleprcsnntatlvo Nichol. In the oflico of flic secretary of state two or three men were discussing the probability of twenty moro days of tlio legislature. Ono con tended that the 3,392 votes which are needed to carry the amendment will bo scared up without any trouble. Another was extremely doubtful and Iho third was sure that Iho now counting would not bo accomplished In tnno to affect this legislature "unless , " ho added , "tho bojs" ( by whom ho Irreverently meant tlio members of the legislature ) "will ad journ three or four days nnd give the committee a chutiro to go through the mass of ballots which they will have to inspect.

These are samples of the returns , al though in some counties the proportion returned for the amendment is oven Smaller than in Douglas county ; and irom Wheeler county , with a total of 202 votes , no return on tlio amendment was made at all , The hopes of the gentlemen who believe1 that the recount will show tlio amendment to have received a con- Htilntional majority arc based upon the figures of which the above are samples und also the fact that there were no regu lar "against the amendment" tickets ex cept flioso printed with Senator Van AVyok'a name , on which both for and ngainst were printed. It is also Htatcd that in many instances the clerks nnd judges of election did not count the amendment votes unless the voter hail written "yes" or "no" on the ticket which had "for the amendment" upon it. The clerks of Adams , Seward , Lancas ter , Hurt. Snrpy and Washington coun ties Pont in the election poll boxes to-day.

Yesterday being n legal holiday the banks closed , the public schools were not in session , and business wits light at ( ho state hotibo and at tlio county olliccs. Tlio district court was not in session , the county court celebrated the day , and work was light at ] iolico court. The postollice was also closed except at the noon hour. All these business respites tended to a general quiet titno except in the real cstato line , which boomed on its usual. The headquarters of real estate ngonts seems to bo a Klovcnth and O etrcots , and it is a quiet time when a lady can got through the crowd of curb-stone brokers in front of the 1'acilic express pllico. Several important real c.stato transfers were made j'esterday despite the holiday. TIIK WAKD nOUNIUltlKS. A good dijiil of discussion is being in dulged in over tlio question of the ward boundaries under the now charter. The trouble scorns to bo that the temperance ) people are suspicious that tlio mayor and council who , under the provisions of the charter , will have the power of dividing tlio wards , will so divide them that four of them will bo on lines so that the temper ance people cannot hope to carry them , mid which would give the anti-prohibn eight of the twelve councilmon. Some of the prohfbs claim that n division of this kind is to bo made in order that a force Rtitliclcnt in the council will bo created so that the present 10 o'clock closingordiuanco can be repealed ' .und the ono making the closing hours nf imunplo looms 12 o'clock bo substituted iinstoad. Thcso parties claim that , as the charter now in the hands of the legisla ture roads , it gives the mayor and coun cil power or the discretion to make the ward divisions regardless of the popula tion located in the wards nnd the amount of territory covered , The prolubs want the pending charter amended so that the mayor ami council must divide the wants as near equal in population and territory its possible , at least approximating that way. Then the proliibs would outer the spring campaign with lire in their eyes and blood on the moon. Tlir. ItKAL KSTATE MAJtKF.f.

' The Knrly Dnys of SIrs. Mnckny and the 1'rcHcnt I'rlnccss ol C'olomic. St. Louis Republican : "This is indeed n peculiar world. " haid a mining expert at the Planter's house yesterday. "Hero I pick up the papers nnd read of Mrs. Mackny's doings In Paris how she re- calves the scions of royalty , how she en tertains , how she appears at the opera , low she dresses , and how she does n thousand other things ; anil then 1 can scarcely conceive that eighteen years ago she kept n hoarding-liouati in Vlrcinui LJily anil that 1 was one of her boarders. Yet it is true , and I often ponder Over ; it. She was n young widow then , with nn ntoresting child who has since matured nto n 3'onug lady and wns recently married to an Italian prince of some kind. That little girl has often sot on my knee with a little tin can in her hand which contained the contributions ot her admirers. In those days wo lived principally on canned food , anil Airs. Mackny's back yard was paved with tin cans. The child had se- ccted a very pretty can , which one of Lho boarders transformed into n liltlo jnnk. This was partly tilled with coin , the result of a. tribute which she levied an her friends. She would climb on the joardurs' knees , and , shaking her little j.ink would say : 'Is you lucky to-day ? ' This query hail the uesired ollect. and the bank receipts were increased. Even in her days of distress Airs. Mackny was a good woman. She personally superin tended aIIairs and made her boatders as comfortable ns possible. I was then a superintendent under Fair , and Mnckay was already a millionaire. Mining stock was the rage then , and I remember often how she would como to me and some of the other boarders nnd ask our advice about certain stocks , and 1 am happy to say that the advice I gave her was good , and it I had taken it myself I would now bo § 5,000,000 or $0,000,000 better oil1 than I am. "Then Mackny took a shine to the widow , and being reputed one of the wealthiest men in the camp ho found smooth sailing , lie couldn't win on hi3 shape nor his beauty , for everybody who has seen Mackay knaws that ho wouldn't lake a prize in a congress of beauty. They were married , and the little girl no longer sat on the miners' knees , and mamma's delicate hand no longer placed cornbei'f and cabbage on miners' plates. They rose faster than Sheridan stock did last summer , the only dill'erence being that their rise was backed by hard coin. The great Comstock lode continued to pour forth its richness and Mackny and liis partner became- immensely wealthy. Although reared in poor circumstances , Mrs. Mackay showed her good sense by securing a private tutor , by whom slio drilled and educated for five years. The little daughter was put through the same course and littod to shine in the most cultivated society ot the old world. Then came the conqncsts in New York , San Francisco , finally the trips to Europe. A year ngo I was in Paris and ono evenins' attended a performance at the Grand Opera'house. It was n first night , and prominent in n private box- were two la- die.s dedecked with diamonds and fes tooned with ( lowers. They were the cynosure of all eyes and leveling inv glasses , 1 discovered behind the silks , llowers , nnd diamonds the face of my former landlady in Virginia City. The outlines were the same , but time had wrought its changes. The young lady with her was the little girl who used to play on my knee. As 1 stood looking at them 'midst the Hashing lights , the incense of llowers , and the delicious music , I could not help recalling some thing of " 'Some ono wlio breasted high water , Swam the North r'oik and all that , Just to dance with old Follansbce's daugh- TluTifilly of Poverty Flat.

PITTS. HE HAD BEEN 1IA8GED. ONCE , Oaso of Theodore Baker Under Sentence of Death in Now Mexico * HOW IT FEELS TO BE LYNCHED. 'ilio Killing of Trunk liliruli-HnsuUs of n Wile's Unfnltliruliicss-An Effort to Snvo a Con ( Icinnail N'colc , Friends of Tlicotloro Uakcr , now confined - fined in the penitentiary itUSruito I'o , N. M. , iinilor sentence of death tor tlio murder - dor of a man in Er.st Colfax countj- , that territory , think it particularly hard that lie should bo compelled to mount tlio Callows. Tlio territorial supreme court lias just rendered : i decision In his cnso nnirming the sentence of death , and fix ing tlio date of his execution during February. Tlio prisoner's friends will sen if they cannot got the case before the United States supreme court , on tlio ground that Baker has oncu been hanged for the crime , and that the proposal to hang him again is in violation of the constitution of the United States , which declares that a man shall not be twice put in jeopardy for the same offence. HAKUlt's ClrtMlJ was tlio killing of Frank Uhruh , a liltlo moro than a year ago. Uhruh was a sur veyor , ami Haker had been asked by him to kuw ( ! a watch upon affairs at Uhruh's ranch whllo the latter was absent. In this way liakerand Mrs Uliruh struck up an intimacy which lasted for some time. Concerning the denouement there are coiillicting stories. Uakcr and the wo man say that Uhruh attacked Baker and that the shooting was in self-defence. Neighboring ranchers assert , however , that the liaison was notorious and that Baker and the woman had moro than oneo threatened to make away with Uliruh. The position in which the body of the murdered man was found , and the facts thai bullet marks in the wall of the room indicated that the shooting was allen on one side , also served to fix guilt upon Bakor. The prisoner is a j-oung man of moro than tlio ordinary intelligence , and tlio woman who is now in jail at Springer iwaiting trial as an accessory , is pre possessing in appearance. As soon as IJukcr was placed under arrest ho was convoyed to Springer where UKWAS sni/.nu IIY A MOB and lynched before ho could bo put in jail , Murders Had been of frequent oc currence in that vicinity , and it was enough for the crowd to know that the ollicers had a man charged with that crime. It is not probable that one man in ton who participated in the lynching of Baker know anything about the cir cumstances of the crime with which ho was charged. Having hanged him in tlio regulation style to the limb of a tree and fastened the loose end of the rope to the trunk , the mob watched the dangling body for a few minutes and then left the spot , dividing up among the various saloons " loons of tho" town , where the incident created only a passing sensation. While the lynching was going on thosheriu" was watching affairs near by , and as soon as he saw the crowd disperse he ran quickly to the hanging form and cut it down. \\'llh tlio assistance of a deputy ho car ried the body to the back door of the jail , and on entering that building and giving orders not to bo disturbed , lie uroceodeil. with the assistance of a physician , to re vive his prisoner. Baker had boon HANGINO J1Y THE NKCK for ten mi miles whim ho was cut down , and at least fifteen minutes moro elapsed before the shoriu" had him in jail. .Alt this time the prisoner was unconscious and apparently lifeless. But the sherill' went to work on him with great energy , and after half an hour of rubbincr ami the application internally and exter nally of spirits , ho was rewarded by see ing the man who had been hanged open his eyes and look wondcringly about him. All that night the sherill'never left Ids charge for a minute , and by morning of the next day ho had Baker sutlicieutly revived to breathe with regularity , and to eat in a mechanical way some light food. Thus far no ono in Springer know of the recovery , except tlio sherill , his deputy and the doctor , and it was de cided that the matter should be kept A I'HOFOUND snCKCT until Baker could bo removed to Santa Fo for safe keeping. This was accom plished during the following week , and he man who had had such a strange ex perience was placed under the care of competent physicians there. At first Baker could not talk at all , but grad ually his thoughts became collected , and on sovnral occasions ho described to visitors hisponsations an ho was hanging to the limb from \yhich ho had been looselv swung. For six months ho buf fered intensely from pains in the head ami from dizziness , sometimes becoming almost deranged , being unconscious ol his surroundings. During these periods ho would live over again his oxporicnco at a ropo's end , and on recovering ho would bo weak and greatly depressed in spirits. On his trial the facts as to his previous execution were ignored , though half a do/.un men from Springer were present and ready to swear that the real Baker had been hanged once for the murder of Uhruh. The idontilication of the prisoner was complete , of course , but no amount of testimony will over satisfy the Spring- eritcs that the man now in custody is the ono that they lynched. Among the most active friends of the prisoner now are tlio men who helped to hang him , and if they have nnyhilluunco he will not again go to the ropo. Although under the decision of tlio territorial supreme court Baker must hang , it is the general belief that he will bo respited for thirty days atloast.to give h.s friends tlmu to uiaku some cllbrts in his behalf.
