CAPTAIN PAUL BOYTON
Preparing TO Swim from Pittsburv to
Cairo.

Special to Cincinnati EnQuirer.l
PlTTsBURG, February 16.-Captain
Paul Boyton, who is somewhat impul-
sivc, but very determined, with re-
spect to his undertakings, arrived to-
day to make a voyage down the Ohio
as soon as the flow of heavy ice be-
comes somewhat reduced, either by
moderating of the weather or exhaus-
ton of the supply The captain
expects to start from this city. He
hopes to leave here on Thursday of
the present week, and will certainly 60
to the mouth of "LaBelle riverc," and
unless sickness prevails in the low
lands and marshy country of the lower
Mississippi valley to an unusual de-
gree, he will as certainly continue on
to the Gulf of Mexico. Indeed, it is
not by any means certain that he will
discontinue his voyage upon reaching
salt water, as it is quite within range
Of possibility that he will cross that
"briny deep The captain proposes
to make the journey by easy stages,
with frequent halts at the large towns
and cities along the river, 1t will
probably require him about two weeks
to reach Cincinnati.

Death OF Mrs. Freeman.

After days of mental and physical agony,
agony endured with the fortitude of a true
Christian and a true woman, the sufferings of
this unfortunate lady came to a close at s
o'clock yesterday morning. At that hour
death came as the closing scene, as the drop
ping of the curtain at the end of such a trag-
edy as is seldom encountered outside the
pages Of fiction. Ada Virginia Miller was
born in 1916 in Strasburg, Shenandoah Co.,
Virginia, where her father, Dr.. 7. j. Miller,
still resides. When twenty-four years of age
she was married to Mr.. Leigh r. Free
man, with whom she remained faithfully In
til "death did them part" From the Old
Dominion, Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman moved to
Wyoming, where Mr.. f. worked a coal mine
until his enterprise was ruined by railroad
his old calling of publishing a newspaper, he
established the original Frontier Inder, keep
ing it on wheels at the terminus of the U. P.
until Ogden wa reached, when the press, be-
coming stationary, was re-christened the Free
man, and Mrs. Freeman sent for to share
the new home. There they remained for
something over four years, until the anne Of
the Northern Territory held out the offer of
a pleasanter residence among more civilized
people. In leaving, while bidding adieu to
some of her Ogden friends, she used the sin
gularly prophetical expression hat she was
''going to seek a happier home in a better
country a predict IN surely verified in the
death of a good mother, a faithful wife and
exemplary Christian. The journey from Og-
den was made happily and pleasantly un'
Til the Montana line was reached, anC
then, just as the beauties of the Northern
country were beginning to unfold themselves
to her view, the gun dropped from its fasten
ings, and the mother is stricken d Town in the
midst of her little family of four young chlld
rem. From the time of receiving the wount
she knew her hurt was mortal; but never 81
much as a complaint, as a groan escaped hel
lips. Her bright cheerful temper remained
unchanged to the end, her last words be
ing a little pleasantly addressed 20 her hus
band. She leaves four little boys, the eldes
nine wears of age.

From California.

divers train of two six-horse teams got in
yesterday from Sonoma County, California,
direct, bringing the household furniture of
four families, who leave the Golden State, in
tending to cast their fortunes in the Golden
Territory. MI. Oliver says the adoption of
the new constitution is causing an exodus
from California-an exodus that will number
10000 citizens of that State, who will take
their course %northward or eastward before
the setting in Of next winter. The migration
is not due the belief that the constitution will
be found an evil in itself when il gets fairly
to work, but rather to the feeling universally
entertained that the transition from the old
order of things heretofore prevailing to the
new order to be established by the c~onstitu.
ton win take up two or three years, during
which an unprecedented stagnation of bust
ness is expected to prevail. Nearly all the
emigrants turn their steps towards Oregon Of
Washington Territory, to whose ports CHEAP
and rapid water transportation is offered. On
ly a few of the more adventurous strike on
towards Idaho Or Montana.

Change OF style.

By notice published elsewhere it will be
seen the First National Bank of Deer Lodge
is going to close up its affairs and the business
will thereafter be conducted under the old
firm name of Donnell. Clark 4 Larabie as a
private banking institution. There is little
to be done to complete the transformation
and as soon as the checks and books arrive
the change will be made. As we remember
1t the First National Bank was established
out of Donnell, Clark & Larabie to exhaust
the government a~pportionment for Montana
when there was a rival institution here seek
ing to acquire it. That consideration has no
Ion GER weight. Donnell, CLARK & Larabie
rate up in the mercantile world to over a half
million dollars, while under the National
Banking system this bank is merely rated
down to its ci~rculation-fifty thousand dol
lars. Besides they have to pay interest Oh
the bonds held, are tied up by red tape to
certain forms of business, and are not allowed
to make loans except under arbitrary restric-
tons that are often detrimental. Donnell,
Clark Il Larabie believe they are as compe-
tent judges Of what loans they should make
as the government is, and propose hereafter
to do all their business under the private
firm rame. Donnell, Clark Il Larabie oil
Butte and Deer Lodge will be just as
reliable as they are with one branch doing
business as a National Bank, and if it is to
their interest we are pleased to see the change
contenlplated.-Neo North Vest.

WILL TAP THE LODE.

Danger and D1ffaculty OF the Operation.
The cross drift to tap the Rainbow lode on
the 5O0-foot level of the Alice mine was start
ed last Thursday, SO the f~ateful, interesting
story will soon be told. The mammoth
Knowles when tested was found to work very
well, to do all that was expected of it. As
soon as the test was made the small tunnel
was started towards the lode from the north
ern face of the station chamber. At the
shaft and in cutting the chamber some very
hard rock was encountered; but as the ledge
is approached softer ground is reached and
the progress becomes more rapid. The diff
Guilty to be app%rehended now is that the
ground may become too soft, so soft that a
giving way of the whole face of the drift may
possibly take place when the lode is approach
ed within a few feet distance. The lode is
full of water up to the 3O0-foot level, a YER
tical pressure of 200 feet, and since it is per-
vaded by seams and other assures through
which the water makes its way quite as read
lily as through the hose OF the hydraulic
claim, a lively time may be experienced when
the water-tight casing of the foot wall is cut
by the drift now approaching it. In this stu
alton even the monster pump, although it
throws sixteen gallons at every stroke, will
not alone be relied upon for security. The
entry drift is to be timbered with massive
timbers, braaei all the way from the solid
rock forming the south side of the shaft.
Water-tight packing will fill in the spaces be-.
tween the timbers and the wall, leaving only
a central aperture for the car to pass through
as the work progresses. This aperture will
be provided with a very heavy and very
strong door swinging from hinges at its up.
per edge and closing by its own weight at the
pulling of a lever from the outside. With
bulkhead of this character provided the work
is to be driven ahead then, when the ledge
is reached and signs are observed of an i'm
pending inundation it will lie ':last man out
shuts the door" with the miners working al
the face. The bulkhead is to be pieced to al
low of the escape of water in quantity easily
within the working capacity of the pump
Through the security afforded by such a safe
guard as that described, and through the ex
ercise on the part of the manager of tn
skill furnished by ample experience in worI
of like character, the delicate operation o
tapping the lode will in all probability be sue
c~essfully accomplished.
