The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1879-12-09

A Boston dispatch Of the 22d inst, says the
wool market during the past week has been
more excited than at any time this year. The
news Of the buoyant opening sales in London
caused a rush of buyers here, but they found
the most desirable wool held at considera-
bic advance and the market two or three
cents higher than last week, with a decided
upward tendency.

CALIFORNIA,

A Heavy Failure-Damage by the Storm.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.-The failure of
Godcheau Bros. & Co., is now known to be
more disastrous than the most panic stricken
of its creditors would have dared to sup
pose. A careful examination of their affairs
shows the assets of the firm amount to only
$475,O0O, of which $4,000 is in stock aud
the balance in book accounts, notes, etc.
The liabilities are over one million dollars.
The creditors are garn1sheeing debts when
ever due. Much of the $500, 1000 due the
firm had been assigned to creditors previous
to the announcement of the failure, and
much of it being due from retail houses
in this city, which have also become
embarrassed, it is asserted there will be a
shrinkage of probably SO per cent. on the
amount of assets stated.
Mail advices from Eureka report much
damage from the storm in the vicinity of
Humboldt bay. Rivers have overfowed
their banks, bridges are carried away, stage
and telegraphic information is suspended,
farming lands flooded, and fences, outbuiId-
ings and dwellings swept away. Two lives
are known to have been lost. The persons
injured and loss of stock is very heavy.

ON THE VAR PATH.
Party of Cheyennes Start Out for a Long
Campaign.

A Party OF Cheyennes Start Out for Long
Campaign.
Military headquarters is in receipt of news
of an Indian raid in the vicinity of Fort
Keogh, Montana. The advice comes under
date of the 21st ult., and states that large
party of Cheyennes are reported in that
locality, going north. The scouts
brought in word that the
Indians had their families with
them, as the lodge pole trail indicated. 1t
was calculated that the party numbered fully
two hundred; and appearances were, that
the Indians were equipped for prolonged
campaign. Considerable alarm was prevalent
among the isolated settlers, and this
was augmented by the fact
that the Indians course of travel seemed
to lead toward the frontier line of settle
ments and along the stage routes between
the forts and far distant towns. Gen. j. N.
G. Whistler, commanding at Fort Keogh,
reports that he, upon receipt of the news,
dispatched three companies of the Second
cavalry, under Col. Baker, to intercept the
Indians, if possible. The command
had started to Glendive creek, amp
being we'll equipped and mounted, it was
hoped that the Indians would be overtaken
and brought to a reckoning somewhere in
the vicinity of the above mentioned water
course These indians are supposed to be
some of the dissatisfied young bucks and
their families from the lower agency, and
are going north to join Sitting Bull, to be in
readiness for probable summer campaign.
Gen. Whistler's report is accompanied by no
account of any depredations.

VIM q Black Maria is Needed.

The "Black Maria" now being built by J..
M. Pottle d Son will be used by Sheriff
Thompson to convey prisoners from the po-
lice station to the county Jail. The transfer
ring of prisoners has heretofore been done
by the police, and the sheriff has charged the
county 81 for what he calls commitment
that is, opening the door of the jail and re-
ceiving the prisoner, but when the present
county attorney, w. E. Hale, entered into
office he rejected one of the items in the bill
presented by the sheriff, the rejected charge
being bill of $15 for committing prisoners
to the Jail. The case was appealed by Sheriff
Thompson, and the court sustained the posi-
ton taken by the county attorney. The
sheriff knowing that the county could better
stand the loss than himself, made arrange
ments with J. M. Pottle & Son, and hereafter
prisoners to the Jail will be conveyed from
the station house to the county Jail in the
"Black Maria," and the sheriff will pocket
the ST. commitment fee.

WINoNA, March 8.-The coroner's inquest
in the case of Louis Weiners, who recently
hanged himself at Minnesota City, is that he
was temporarily insane from i'll health.
Weiners had lived in this city several years,
and was worth $4,000. He was so years
old and leaves family of eight children.
The amount collected by the Winona
county treasurer on the current tax of 1878,
from December LIST to March 1st, was $685.
$50, which exceeds the amount for the same
time last year by $4,000. The total de-
linquent taxes collected was 1919.
The March term of the district court
opens next Monday.
The suit of G. T. Flint against Lindon,

THE OLD WORLD.
THE IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION.

THE IMPEACHMENT RESOLUTION.
PARIS, March 8.-Following is the resolu.
ton recommended by the impeachment com.
mission to the chamber of deputies TO,
adoption: The chamber recommends the
impeachment of the ministers of the 10th OF
| May, orders the sending up of the report and
| its appendices to the senate, and appoints a
| committee of five of its members to proceed
| with the charge and act as public prose-
| cutors.
THE RETURN TO PARIS.
M. Washington, president of the council
| and minister of foreign affairs, and Leroyer,
minister of justice, conferred with the COM
| mittee on the return of the chambers to
Paris. They declined; they would be will
ing to favor, the return, but for the fact that
the chambers, to effect such change in the
constitution, would have to be constituted
into national assembly. The ministry
would also prefer that the question
be postponed till after the
impeachment discussion. The left
centre, forty members present, decided
against return to Paris. The centrists,
the strongest group of the republicans,
ninety eight members, decides that none of
its members can be connected with another
group. It is understood this decision is
contrary to the wishes of Gambetta, who
desires fusion of all sections of republi-
cans. This fusion is also desired by the
radicals. The assertion that Grevy will re-
sign if impeachment is carried is regarded
as an idle invention.
THE CHARGES AGAINST THE DE BRoGLIE MIN
IsTRY.
VERSAILLES, March SIN the chamber to-
day Brisson's report was read. Among the
grievances against the De Brogie cabinet is
a complaint that it violated the constitution
by raising anew the question of the form of
government, which had previously been set
the rule of the responsibility of the presi-
betrayed thoughts of personal power. The
of May designed the establishment
of dictatorship. They violated the constitu-
ton by delaying the elections beyond the
legally prescribed three months by evading
the electoral law relative to the counsel gen
eral and councils of reimbursement by for
bidding colportage and closing wine shops
by collision, extortion and undue pressure
on the magistracy, and the creation of
fictitious rise on the course after election
gave republican majority. The cabinet
continued to eight whole month, and under
the Rochebuet ministry which followed, all
the preparations were made to strike blow
by force. Dispatches were sent
to commanders of army corps to
prepare for military measures, and con-
spiracy evidently existed. The report con-
cludes as follows: GAS DeBroglie and
Rochebuet, ministers, incurred equal respon-
sibility, we propose that both be impeached
before the Senate" On motion of Leroyer,
minister of justice, debate was postponed
until Thursday.

Various Opinions on the Subject by Par
ties in Interest.
ST. LOUIS, March 9.-Wm. r. Morrison,
member of Congress from Illinois, arrived
here to-day and expressed himself very free
~ about the contest for speakership of the
House. He declares most positively that un-
der no circumstances will he be candidate
himself; that he is opposed to Randall and in
favor of Southerner for that position, in
order to test the question whether Southern
men can be put into prominent places with
safety to the interests of the nation. He re-
CARDS MI. Blackburn, of Kentucky, as a
brilliant and able man, who would make an
excellent speaker.
The Post and Dispatch, of this city, pub
lshed strong editorial this afternoon
against Randall insisting that no member of
Congress from the West generally can vote
for him without betraying the interests of
their people.
Ex-Gov. Throckmorton and Mr.. Giddinps,
members from Texas, are also here, en- route
nome, and express the opinion that most of
the Texas members and Southern deleea
tons will vote for Blackburn, and that Ran
dalps defeat is certain.

The Newspaper Press and Its Enemies.
st. Peter Times.
Members of both branches of the legisla-
ture are indebted in the largest measure to
the press for the positions they occupy, and
yet during each session some member or
members of one body or the other make the
newspaper press their special object of at
tack. That is after the press has done more
than it's share to elevate them to position,
they return the favor by introducing into
the legislature bills to fix the price of legal
advertising at one-haf or one-third its
actual worth. Representative of this char
acter introduced a bill into the House the
other day providing for the publication of
the laws and allowing each newspaper 1875
therefor. No publisher could afford to do
the work for such compensation. There
have been years when it cost $50, $50 and
800 to set the type what publisher is
going to pay out 800 to journeymen to &C.
commodate the State, and get back from the
State $25? This giving of publishers
blast at some period of each legislative
session should be remembered by the fra
ternity, and when the advocates of measures
to fix the price of printers work at half or
third rates, hoping thereby to cripple their
business, present themselves for Office they
should be spotted by the press.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
WHOLESALE INCENDIARIsM.

'~~~~S~~>~~~~
COLUMBUS, o., March 8.-The citizens
and police have thus far failed to discover
who it is that is attempting to destroy the
city by fire. Night after night the past
week one or more fires have occurred, prin-
cipally in stables, which point to incendiary
work. Between 2 and o'clock this morn
ing eight stables were burned, while at
tempts were made to fire other buildings by
using rags saturated with coal oil. AS far
as can be learned, the only insurance on
destroyed buildings is $500 in the Illinois
Mechanics and 800 in the Hartford, of
Hartford. The police force has been in
creased and many private watchmen placed
on duty.
The city council had special meeting
this morning and adopted resolutions in
structing the mayor and police commission
ers to take all -ecessary steps to arrest the
incendiaries now in the city and increase the
fire protection regardless of cost. A citi-
zens' meeting held at the same time con-
CURED in this action.
HOTEL BURNED.
MILWAUKEE, March 8.-A fire at Green
Bay, at 2 o'clock this morning, totally de-
stroyed Harrimans hotel, large four
story brick, and contents. The flames spread
rapidly, and it was with difficulty the board
ers escaped. Some of them were compelled
to make their exit by means of ropes extend
ing from the windows to the ground. Loss,
$4,000 to $4,000; insurance, $4,000, as
follows: Franklin, Philadelphia, Firemen's
Fpnd, California, National, Hartford, So, 900
each; Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Under
writer's, New York, $4,000 each; Scottish
Commercial, Queens, Liverpool, North Amer
lea, Philadelphia, $4,000 each: Fire Associa-
ton and Orient, Hartford, 81, 800. The fire
originated in the kitchen, it is supposed &C.
cidentally.
BRAVE BOY.
PIERCE CITY,, NO., March 8.-This morn
ing as the west-bound express was approach
ing the city, young lad was discovered run
ming towards the train, wildly waving a red
silk handkerchief. The engineer at once
stopped his engine, when it was discovered
that some devils in human guise had sawed
the supports of small bridge, leaving Just
enough to bear the weight of the bridge and
only this. The young lad happened along a
few moments before the approach of the
train, and it is owing to his bravery that at
this moment the entire train is not wreck.
1t was narrow escape for the 1O7 souls on
board. The name of the hero who saved the
train and its human freight is E. M. Roberts.
ROLLING MILL FIRE.

CHICAGO WHEAT.
The FURRY In the Market Caused by the
Forged Dispatch from Jim Kecne-A
Reward Of Sc, 1000 offered for tho Per-

New YORK, March 8.-The fall in the Chi
cago wheat market yesterday had no effect
to-day on the new produce exchange, where
the morning call showed April wheat bought
a cent in advance of the prices which ruled
yesterday morning. The forger has not yet
been discovered. Keene was at the Office of
his brokers this morning, but declined to
see any representatives of the press.
CHICAGO, March 8.-The activity in wheat
continues to-day, but the movement is to-
ward higher prices. Last nights closing
figure for April options, in which most
OF the transactions are made, was 92%c.
April opened this morning on the 8
A. M. call at 934, with little fluctuation,
went up to 9414, reacted to "a, and with
many small breaks reached 953ss, but only to
decline by degrees until it settled at 8424,
where it remained steadily at noon. In about
seven minutes early this morning nearly
45O, 900 bushels changed hands, but Fisher,
Keene's broker, did not seem to be taking q
hand. 1t is stated he quietly bought back
large amount during yesterday afternoon.
Much distrust is manifested on Change as to
the causes of the proceeding of yesterday,
and the usual explanation is discredlted on

covered from the raid, but is nervous and
unsettled. At 1 o'clock the market was
very steady, closing at 94B for April.
Rufus Hatch & 60. this morning sent to
Smith & Lightner the following dispatch:
"Keene will pay $4,000 reward for the de-
lection Of the party who sent the order
signed 'Keene,' to sell wheat. He thinks it
is regular conspiracy, and that several
people are engaged, to break the grain and
provision markets." 1t is stated that Keene
sent to the same firm an order to buy
100000 bushels of wheat. The generally
accepted opinion on Change is that Keene
has neither suffered by the transaction nor
been victimized, and that if the bogus dis
patch was actually sent, he will more than
recover the loss by the natural reaction
against the heavy fall of yesterday.
Archie Fisher made statement to-day
showing that the whole amount of wheat soll
upon the bogus order signed by Keene has
been repurchased, and without any loss either
to his firm or to Keene.

BUSINESS EMBARRASsMENr
The Assignment of j. III. Breidert. Hard
ware Dealer. :

u
ware Dealer.
An assignment and judgments were en-
tered in the district court yesterday, against
the wellknown hardware dealer, Mr.. j, n.
Breidert, No. 20 East Third street. The as
signment was forced by the Wilmington &
Conley manufacturing company on an over
due note of $3.50, and was owing to poor
collections and general apathy in the hard
ware business.
The entire indebtedness will not exceed
$4,000, being amply secured by a. large
stock of general hardware and considerable
real estate, all of which is assigned for the
protection of St. Paul creditors, where the
Indebtedness is almost strictly confined.
Mr.. George Benz was appointed assignee.
and it is stated on reliable authority that Mr..
Breidert will have fully $4,000 after all his
Indebtedness is paid.
The largest Indebtedness is due the Ger
man American bank, for which confession
of Judgment was yesterday entered in two
sums, $12,755 and $3,18O.35. The last
named amount, it may be stated, is not
really an Indebtedness, being in reality the
transfer of negotiable paper recently col
ected by the bank, all Of which is regarded
