NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Contract for Two Hundred and Five
Miles Let.

The Minneapolis Tribune contains the
news that, Notwithstanding the recent fail
urc Of Jay Cooke & Co., the Northern
Pacific Company have determined to COM
plete the road to the Yellowstone, in &C.
cordance with their previously announced
plan. The Tribune says:
"a private dispatch received in this city
from Gen. Cass, President Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, announces that
he, in company with some members of the
executive committee of the Board Of Direct
ors, will be here next week. They will be
accompanied by the gentlemen who have
taken the contract for building the road
from the Missouri river to the Yellowstone
-o05 miles. The contract for this work
was let very recently, and the contractors
now come to look over the ground. Gen.
Rosser is instructed to be ready to show
the work on the line laid out by him. We
did not learn the names Of the contractors,
but understand they will commence immc-
diately at construction. It will be seen by
this action on the part Of Gen. Glass; that
the Northern Pacific is not crippled by the
panic in the stock market. ''-Courier Now,

Spain Desires Peace.

WASHINGTON, November 13th.-Infor-
nation received from Madrid shows that
the Spanish government is in earnest in its
professions Of friendship for the United
States, and expresses its anxiety to do ev-
eryth!ng in its power, not only to preserve,
but to strengthen the peaceful relations
now existing between the two countries,
apart from commercial relations. Spain
desires the general support Of the United
States in its effort to permanently establish
a Republican government, and hence the
report received here gains credit that orders
have been issued by the Spanish Admiralty
to the Spanish naval officers at West Indies
to observe the utmost caution in their
movements towards vessels carrying L. s.
flags, and do no act that would have the
effect Of adding to the present excitement
in the United States.

BOOTH AND CAsSERLY.
A Queer Story From a Nevada Paper

The Eureka Sentinel of November 4tl,
prints the following bit Of political gossip:
1--WE are in receipt Of Il private letter
from Il prominent lawyer Of California tell
us all about the forthcoming Senatorial
contest in that State. Our informant. al
though having filled some Of the highest
positions in the Golden State, does not
claim to be a politician in any sense Of the
term. lie nevertheless occupies a position,
socially and politically, which entities his
statements to great weight.
We were much surprised at some Of his
uttcranccs. lie informs us that there is
to be no contest over the California Senator
ship. Governor Booth, he says, is out Of
the fight. This is according to stipulations
made by the Governor and Senator Casscr-
ly prior to the election. Those gentlemen,
it seems, made common agreement that
whichever developed the most strength in
the Legislature should he the anti-monopO-
ly candidate. Since the members were
chosen a careful canvass has been made.
Booth, therefore, as per agreement, with
draws, and will do all in his power to aid
the election Of Casserly. We confess we
are somewhat surprised ut this announce
ment, and more particularly, as We have
the best reasons for believing it entirely
reliable. 1t appears that the whole matter
is well understood in political circles, both
on this 'coast and in Washington. 4 dis
patch from Washington the other day con.
tanned about the same information. Scna.
tors Jones and Casscrly are hobnobbing in
San Francisco, as will bc seen by our dis.
patches, which may be tortured into anotll-
err very important straw At all events,
the indications are, that as between Cali.
fornia' two great anti-monopolists. Booth
and Casserly, the latter has the inside track
for the ScnatOrship.'

Mr.. 4. J. Simmons, late agent Of the
Sioux at Fort Peck. NJ. r., and VIM. b.
Judd. Esq, left Helena a few days since
for the Eastern States and Washington City,
where the former has been ordered to settle
up his accounts with the Department.
During Mr.. Simmons incumbcncy as Agent
ut Fort Peck, there were numerous reports
of evil nature against the Agency. 1t was
stated Indians from that Agency were in
the fight against Gustav last summer that
they had brcccl,-loading guns that ammu-
milton was shipped to posts Oh the river
leaving the inference Fort Peck was one
labeled Hardware" and was sold to the
Indians that there were no Indians Of any
consequence al Fort Peck that gross irrcg-
ularities and frauds were pcrpetrated there,
and in short, as press dispatch stated, it
was "a famous trading post for the Indians
and an infamous one for the whites" We
have all the evidence needed that not sim
gle brecch-loading gun ever was furnished
an Indian from Fort Peck while Mr.. Sim
mons was agent that the steamer which
carried the "IIardwarc'' did not unload a
pound of goods ut Fort Peck, but for citi-
zens ut Fort Benton and Bozcman, and
that the evidence Of these things is on file
in the Department. Further, none Of the
treaty Sioux were in the fight with Custar.
But, surmising something might be wrong
ut Fort Peck, Mr.. Simmons was notified by
the Department to wait for Inspector Dan
icls at Helena and escort him to Fort Peck.
While he was waiting there, the Inspector
came over to Peck, unannounced, from
Bismarck. took possession Of the books,
records, goods, property, and keys Of store
houses, and spent twenty days in y
searching, rigid and thorough investigation
Of everything belonging to the Agency.

best managed Agency on the river, and that

Troy, N. y, July 3.
At o'clock or thercabouts this after
noon thunder shower passed over this
city. North of the Bulls Head Hotel no
rain fell, but the atmosphere was densely
charged with electricity. Vivid flashes of
lightning were severe and repeated roars of
thunder heard. While this electric storm
was in progress, three men, Alexander
Cloakey, Michael Connors, and Mr.
Wickwire, who were in the employ of
Mrs. George Gould and who live in the
vicinity of Gould street, Lansingburgh,
commenced work in the corn field of the
Gould or Vail farm, just North of Lutzel-
berger's grove. A. Cloakey harnessed a
horse to a cultivator and commenced
plcughing the corn. He had crossed the
field and had returned to the place from
which he started, when he stopped to con-
verse with the other men. While they were
engaged loud peal of thunder and
flash of lightning occurred The
lightning struck the three men, killing
Cloakey instantly, and stunning the others
The horse was so terribly injured that it
was killed. Cloakey's left side was black
