Judge J. G. Sparks, brother of A. J
Sparks, commissioner general of the
land office under President Cleveland,
died at Tacoma, Sunday, aged 80. He
went to Tacoma in 1802, and was at one
time territorial auditor of Washington.
The assayer to whonr was submitted
the samples of gold ore found in the
borings under the Missouri river near
Kansas City certities that it would weigh
out 8128 of gold to the ton, which is good
ore. The gold is in a peculiar place in
the ground under the river bed, and it
would hardly be practicable to mine it
Geologists think it the washings from
some gold bearing region.
The postmaster general has orderd
that sixteen mail carriers and five clerks
be dismissed from the Omaha postoffice,
a civil service examiner having alleged
that they had been appointed without
conformity to the civil service rules.
He recommended that they be dismissed
and that men who had passed the exam
ination and whose interests had not been
protected should be appointed instead.
The Knigths of Labor general aesem
bly, after discussing the question of ob
jections to certain principles of the
order, decided that all who do not ac
cept all the principles enumerated in
the platform must leave the order. A
resolution was adopted recommending
that, as a rule, assemblies refrain from
electing to membership any one holding
or seeking political position.
Services to the memory of the late
Charles Stewart Parnell were held
Sunday night at the Academy of Music
in New York city. Chauneey Depew
was the eulogist. Delegations from the
Polish societies of New York were on
the platform and representatives from
Philadelphia, Boston, New Haven and
Bridgeport paid tribute by their pres
ence. The orators were greeted with
earnest applatiEe.
A point never before raised in any
court was argued at Janesville Wis.>
Monday in the case of Fred Sneider
against the Wabash railrord on a motion
to vacate attachment proceedings. The
defen dant raised the point that the
attaching of the cash of a railway com
pany is a violation of the interstate
commerce law and is against public
policy. The decisiou of Judge Bennett
will be announced Monday.
James Charlson broke the record
Saturday with a frightful fall of ninteen
stories. He was a terru cotta operator,
working inside the new Masonic temple
at Chicago. He and a companion named
John Wilson erected a temporary scaffold
and Charlson was standing on this when
it gave way. The distance to the ground
was covered in about three seconds.
Eveiy bone in his liody was crushed,
and the corpse presented a frightful
spectacle. Wilson saved his life by cling
ing to side supports.
Miller & Sibley, proprietors of Pros
pect Hill stock farm, have sold to
Charles and Franklin Ridgley, of Spring
field 111., their great Electioneer colt
Conductor, for 835,090 cash and ten
reserved services. As the horse will
command a stud fee of $500, the price
paid is equivalent to 840,000. Conductor
won the phenomenal race for three-year
olds at Cleveland, beating the best
horses of the age in the country and
making a record of 2:25J^ in the sixth
heat. This year he has not been started
in a race.
Acting Indian Commissioner Bell has
received advices from Special Agent Mc
Kean, at Pierre, S. D., confirming the
published reports regarding Big Foot's
band abandoning camp and going to
Pine Ridge. He says he understands
that the bucks are all armed. What
this outbreak means he could not learn.
The regular agent thought it was'because
he had demanded that their children be
put in school. McKean doubts if the
Indian police will bring them back
without trouble. There are some rumors
on the Cheyenne river that the Pine
Ridge Indians are preparing to renew
the ghost dance, but nothing reliable as
to that could be obtained.
The fact has pecome public that
W. F. Baird, until recently vice presi
dent and manager of the Madera bank,
located at Madera, California, was short
in his accounts to the amount of nearly
8100,000. Baird, in connection with
John Brown, organized the Bank of
Madera, and what is known as the John
Brown colony. The money sent Baird
by the colonists to develop the land
was used by him in England for his
private scheme. As the losses grew
Baird began to issue forged notes and
deposited them in place of the money
used. The forging of checks and drafts
followed, and later an over issuing of
stock, to which he forged the signature
of the president of the bank. He has
been placed under arrest.
In speaking of the opium ring and the
arrest of a Chinese opium smuggler in
New York in connection therewith, a
treasury detective says: "We believe
we have got a correct clew to the most
enormous conspiracy against the United
States government that has ever threat
ened it. It is larger than the whisky
ring, because it reaches from the At
lantic to the Pacific. Contrary to eur
first suspicions there are very few Chi
namen in it and they hold subordinate
places. It has been going on for sixteen
years. The government has been de
frauded out of millions in duties. The
profits in the business are 100 per cent.,
and well known people are induced to
take shares in the business. The com
bination was bringing into the city of
New York 2.0CJ pounds a month. The
smugglers brought it in from Montreal."
The detective said further that there
were men of high standing in politics
and society on both coasts who may well
„ K«!™ in their shoee with fear. They
are likely to be arrested just as Chase
was.

The sensation of the Knights of Labor
convention was the report of the com
mittee apjiointed last session to examine
the books of ex-Treasurer Turner.
They say he refused to appear before
them or give up the documents in his
possession. They find that there is over
831,0C 3 unaccounted for, even after
crediting Turner with 817,000, which
in the statement is shown to have been
expended, but of which the book of
orders does not show an entry. This
leaves a balance of 814,000 unaccounted
for.

A dispatch from Pierre S. D., says
The remnant of Big Foot's band of In
dians, numbering some sixty families,
are in open revolt against the authority
of the agent at the Cheyenne agency.
This band of Indians have been living
on ceded lands and no Indian can live
off the reservation without taking up
land in severalty and declaring his in
tention of becoming a citizen. McKean
went up to allot these Indians land.
When he got there he found that they
had a few days before sold off all their
stock, packed up and left camp. He
notified the agent, who dispatched half
a dozen Indian police to bring them
back to the reservation. They overtook
the band near the edge of
Pine Ridge agency and endeavored to
persuade them to return, but all but one
Indian refused. They stated they were
going to the Pine Ridge agency and were
going to reside there ia . the future.
The Indian police returned to the agent
and when McKean left he had dis
patched a large force erf Indian police to
bring them back without fail.

Antiquarian Snaith has found con
elusive evidence that the trunks found
on the schooner Maria Victoria, wrecked
at Quebec in the autumn of 1865, were
the property of J. Wilkes Booth, the
assassin of President Lincoln. During
the autumn several trunks marked "J.
W. B., New Providence," were shipjjed
on board the steamer Maria Victoria at
Quebec. How they reached Quebec is un
known. It would appear that Booth,
"in anticipation of the murder of Lin
coln," had secretly sent his theatrical
wardrobe through Canada and had it
skipped from a Canadian port in the ex
pectation of finding it to hand in one of
the southern states when he had suc
ceeded in the object he had in view, and
that the conspiracy to assassinate Presi
dent Lincoln was calculated months be
fore.
Trouble is brewing in Alaska, and any

it to congress and ask its approval by
that body. If congress should refuse
to pass such bill every resident of

Foul Flay Suspected.
A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio,
says: A wealthy merchant of this citv
Ralph Worthington, has just returned
from a hunting expedition in the vicin
ity of Jackson s lake, Wyo., with thme
nephews of Andrew Carnegie. He made
careful mquines there concerning the
cause of Robert Kay Hamilton's death,
spending a few days in Hamilton's
lodge, now occupied by Sargent, the
dead New Yorker's quasi partner. He
is of the opinion that Hamilton's deaib
was due to foul play and not to acci
dent. When the body was exhumed
water grass was found entangled in the
spurs.
Mr. Worthington says that the ford in
Snake river, where the accident is said
to have occurred, is paved with white
boulders and that there is no sign of
water grass in the river for some dis
tance from it. I he depth of water in
the ford is only fifteen inches on an av
erage and a horse can easily wade on
either side fifty feet away. The guides
and hunters there told Mr. Worthington
that it would be folly to try to ride from
the ford to Hamilton's lodge after night
fall, and that Hamilton well knew the
danger and was inured to camping in
the oj»en air. The members of the
Mormoui colony of Rexburg, near Jack
son's lake, told Mr. Worthington that
they had good reason to believe that
Hamilton met with foul play.
Uprising in t'liiiiu.
The London Chronicle's correspondent
at Shanghai says: Captain Tehwei,
near Foo Choo on Tuesday, was attacked
by 15, C CD rebels. It was a well organ
ized uprising. The rebels were armed
with repeaters and led by capable men.
Theoutbreak was directed mainly against
the authorities, though anti-foreign
cries were heard. The officials were
powerless. The European residents are
apprehensive of a spread of the revolt.
The British consul here, in an interview,
said he believed the recent quietude
only temj»orary, spring and summer
being the favorable period for outrages
in China. Light draft gunboats are an
absolute necessity to protect Euorepeans
in the interior and at the river j»orts,
where massacres will inevitably follow
and foreign demonstrations, unless
special preventive measures shall be
adopted, in spite of the semi-official
statement that two of the Ching rioters
have been beheaded and others bastina
doed, it is yet a serious fact that the
real culprits are still free, being protected
against arrest by exalted officials. The
agents of the Pekin treasury have paid
the indemnities agreed uj»on, £2,000, to
sufferers at Wuhsich, and £4,C90 to the
families ef Europeans killed at Wusseh.
The American missionary, Dart, ex
presses the opinion that trouble will be
renewed next spring.
Mining Congress.
The dedication of the Colorado Min
ing Stock Exchange building and the
ojjeningof the first national mining con
gress were celebrated at Denver Wednes
day. In the morning there was a street
parade, in which miners and all inter
ested in mining took part. There were
also floats bearing mining machinery
in motion and a great many tableaux,
indicative of important features of min
ing. At the dedication speeches were
made by President Taylor of the Mining
Exchange, Mayor Rogers of Denver
and otheis. All the speakers advocated
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
In the afternoon the mining congress
opened at the People's theater with ex
Governor Tabor in the chair. Dele
gates from thirty-three states and terri
tories rejwrted and it is understood that
Hon. Miles Searles, formely chief
justice of California, would be elected
permanent chairman.
The greater part of the session was oc
cupied by Senator Stewart of Nevada,
who delivered a long address upon the
silver question. Among other things he
urged the congress to pass resolutions
that would compel the national house of
representatives to pass laws restoring
silver to a parity with gold. Resolutions
favoring the coinage of the American
product only, the senator said, would
obtain twenty votes in the assembly.
,1. H. Conrad in Providence.
A dispatch from Providence, R. I.,
dated the 13th tost., says that J. H. Con
rad, son-in-law of Mrs. Josephine A.
Barnaby, who died in Denver, Col.,
from the effects of arsenical poisoning,
and for whose murder Dr. Thatcher
Graves, her confidential adviser, was in
dicted by the grand jury in Denver, is
at the Narragansett hotel with District
Attorney Stevens of Colorado. the
journey was for the purpose of getting
important evidence for the prosecution,
and their examination will probably oc
cupy two days. The Connecticut wit
nesses will also be summoned to this

dispatch his business so as to allow of a
stay in New York city for two days and
arrange for abundant time to cijstahze
the evidence, summon the witnesses and
reach Denver in time to make the fanal
arrangements for the commencement of
the trial on November 24. District At

twenty to twenty-hve, and that possibly
the number summoned from this
city and vicinity would reach ten
As to the operations of the counsel for
the defense, he said ho knew compara

Bow county, was ordered settled and al
lowed by Judge McIIatton Saturday, no
objections being offered. The report
was quite voluminous, giving in detail
all the acts of the sjjeeial administrator
in connection with the business of the
estate, together with a report of cash re
ceipts and exjtenditures.
The amount of cash in his possession
at the time of filing the inventory was
8856,295.24, and he has since received
8135,466.15, making 8991.741.39 the total
cash received by him. He paid out. by
order of the court, just bills aggregating
841.042.77, court fees aggregating 858.60
and administrator's exjtenses to the
amount of_8341.15. He has bills amount
ing to 82,776.74, which he asks the court
to instruct him to pay. After deduct
ing the different amounts which he has
paid out Mr. Talbot holds in his posses
sion 8919,798.87.
He makes a further request of the
court. He says that before the death of
A. J. Davis there were a number of
deeds in escrow for lots, which were
held by the bank until the final pay
ments were made. At the time of tho
fire a number of these documents were
destroyed. Some of the interested par
ties are now willing and prepared to pay
the balances due, and the administrator
wants the court to einjtower him to is
sue deeds in such cases and accept the
money.
Mr. Talbot also made a statement of
purchases he had made for the benefit
of the estate, the Ne»v Era lode, for in
stance, and of some suits he began on
overdue notes held in Helena, for which
he obtained judgment and protected the
estate from the effect of the statute of
limitation.
Wholesale Shooting;.
\Yhilethe Neihart excursion train was
on its return to Great Falls Monday
evening, some drunken men who were in
the rear baggage car became engaged in a
row. Jacob Harris, alias "Jew Jake,"
a gambler of Helena, who had been up
at Neihart and Barker for some weeks
past, was prominent in the rows. In
one instance where he and another man
were fighting, Marshal Treat, chief of
police of Great Falls, interfered, separ
ated them and forced Harris out of the
car, slapping him in the face while so
doing. This quieted the disturbance in
the car and nothing more was thought
of it. When the train reached the
Great Falls depot Marshal Treat step
j»ed off and was met by Harris with a
revolver drawn. He tired three shots
before Treat could get his gun. One
shot entered Treat's hip and the other
tho doctors say entered about an inch
from the sjiine and through the kidneys
and will probably prove fatal. Treat
fired two shots, one striking Harris in
the leg above the knee, and breaking the
leg. The platform was crowded and
two other persons were hit with stray
bullets. Joe Lessard, a prominent min
ing man of the Belt mountains was hit
below the eye, the ball entering just be
low and glancing up. The doctors have
not found the ball and the wound will
probably cause the loss of the eye and
may result mortally. The other person
injured was a boy about 10 years old,
son of I. Marks, wholesale liquor dealer
of Helena. He was hit in the leg. No
bones were broken and the wound is
not thought serious. Harris was imme
diately arrested and lodged in the coun
ty jail. In an interview he said that he
shot Treat all right, and intended to;
that Treat slapped him in the face and
swore at him, and that he wanted to get
even; that he would have shot him in
the car only that he did not want to in
jure innocent parties. Three different
times a mob surrounded the jail for the
purpose of hanging Harris and each
time the sheriff stood them off. Les
sard is now considered out of danger,
but the doctors fear that Treats wounds
will prove fatal.
