TERRITORIAL NEWS.
Madisonian. Feb. Ill

siouISoiihbs TfD- Isl
The Alameda mine, one mile southwest Of
Virginia city, is developing finely, and The ore
is better than has heretofore been sturck in
the lode. 1t promises to be ore of the ''big
things of Madison county.
The terminus is a terribly dull place Just
now but little business is being done. as
freigbters-with the exception of a few who
have light teams for carrying fast freight, have
left there. The inhabitants expect Il big
boom in Il few weeks, however.
Since there is a probability--or. at least, IA
possibility of a railroad coming to Virginia,
there is quite all active demand for real estate
within the city limits, and prices have an up
ward tendency.
On last Saturday, Mr.. Adolph Bruckner
met with a serious accident in having his arm
broken. He and Mr.. Jacob Snyder were en-
gagged in prospecting for Il quartz lode Just
above town and on the opposite side Of Alder
gulch they had concluded their work for the
day and We're about starting for home when
Mr.. Bruckner slipped and fell OH a patch of
ice, breaking his arm just above the wrist.
A gentleman. prominent in connection with
the Union Pacific Company, to whom a COM
munication was addressed, writes that there
is no doubt that ourpeople can obtain a branch
road to Virginia city, by making proper effort,
and thus make this place the Quitting point
for the National Park t~arvel, which will large
y increase as the railroad approaches it. So
Tar as the advance of the road is concerned,
tile writer says: 81 can say to you only that
the road will be bnilt to a point in the valley
at OF near Gaflney's. The president of the
road told me they would have the road over
the mountains in time for the spring business.
= | think the biggest card for your folks
is to get a branch road to Virginia city,
thus securing the oittitting of tourists to the
Park. They talk of starting from Red Rock
but you folks may prevent that
Husbandman, y Feb.
There will be more quartz prospecting lone
III Meaglier county the coming summer than
ever before.
The stOckmen Of upper Smith valley are to
hold a meeting Oh the 18th inst. for the pur-
purpose of organizing for the spring round
up.
y letter from the Gallatin dated the 9th
inst. says that Martin Il Myers of that county
have recently sold their entire cattle herd
numbering 1000 head-to the Montana Cat
tie Company. The price is not given.
The need of a Touring mill has been long
and keenly felt by the people of Meagher
county. The Missouri valley as a wheat-pro-
duclng section is second to none in the Terri
tory, yet her farmers have never had sufficient
milling facilities, there not being a mill in the
county.
TIN Missouri valley farmers are rolling
their grain and flour into Helena as rapidly as
possible and are receiving $40 per sack for
their flour, best brands, and from 81 80 to
$3.50 for oats and, though tile figure is low,
they seem to be cheerful and contented and
more determined i'll the prosecution of their
calling than ever before. We are pleased to
note such a cheerful state of affairs in this
prosperous farming section.

surface being covered by a narrow lay
er of water, and this again by a wider
layer of air. But there are other facts
to be considered. 1t is well known that
as rock substance cools it becomes ca
pable of absorbing more water, and it
has been sbrewdly argued that the
final cooling will be attended with so
great an absorption of fluid material
that not only the waters of the ocean,
but the gases of the atmosphere, may
eventually all disappear in the pores Of
the rock strata. 10 such an end it is
conjectured that the moon has already
come, the small size of this sphere
causing its evolutions to take place
more rapidly, so that the final condi-
ton was there reached ere the waters
were able to wear down the rocks to a
level surface.
But whether or not such a condition
of affairs is to be the final end of ter
restrial operations it cannot concern US
except as curious speculation, for
millions of years must elapse before it
can be attained, and all sublunary life
must first disappear, he earth rolling
on in its appointed orbit a dead and
silent globe. And, for all we yet
know to the contrary, there may be
other influences silently at work, act
ing 20 prevent any such result, and
to reverse the tendencies which are
now most apparent in the physical uni
verse.

Captain Ead's Ship Railway

The Scientific american of this
week conta ms two full page ilustra-
tons of Captain Eads' proposed rail
way for transporting ships with Their
cargo across continents.
Captain Eads claims by his plan to
be able to take loaded ships Of the
largest tonnage from one ocean to the
other across the Isthmus of Panama,
as readily as can be done by a canal
after the Lessup plan,- and at much
less cost for engineering construction.
The project is certainly bold and in
genious, and the protector anticipates
no serious difficulties in carrying for
ward his enterprise. The engravings
referred to in the Scientific american
show the proposed construction of not
only the railroad, but the appliances
for transferring the ships from the
water to the rail.
In addition to the large number of
engravings, illustrative Of engineering
works, inventions and new discoveries
which appear weekly. the Scientific
american has. during the past year,
devoted considerable space to illustra-
ting and describing leading establish
ments devoted to different mlnufactur-
ing industries.
This feature has added very much
to the attractiveness and usefulness Of
the paper. More than fifty of the
most important industrial establish
ments Of our country have been illus
trated. and the processes of the differ
ent manufactures described In its col
umns The Scientific Amaericua has
been published for more than thirty
four years by MUM & Co., 81 Park
Row, n. Y, and has attained larger
weekly circulation than all similar pa
pers published in the country. The
publishers assure the public that they
have not printed less than 50,00U
copios a week for several months.

THE DEAD DEMOCRACY.
Especial Dispatch to the sentineIl


MADISON, Nov. 7. - The Madison
Democrat, which has been bitterly par
tisan all through the campaign this
morning comes out in an editorial
urging the disbanding Of the Demo-
cratic party in the North. 1t saws
the Democracy have only elected thir-
ty-lve out of two hundred and eighty
congressman in the North, and admits
they only carry New Jersey for Han
cock by fifteen hundred majority and
Nevada by three hundred, and out of
tea Northern States they have not
elected single representative. The
North is soIidly Republican. The
South is solidly Democratic. The
Southern Democracy has performed it's
duty to the country, and has nothing
more to offer, no other party duty to
perform for the country.
In another editorial it says: Sup
pose the Democratic party of the
North shall conclude to d1sband its or
saaization; the thirty members of the
Legislature who were. elected as Dem
ocrats will be free to vote as thew
choose for United States Senator.
They of course will net be confined at.
all to Democrats, but can vote for any
good man who is likely to be elected
by their votes. Some of them NAV
vote for Keyes, some may vote for
Philctus Sawyer, al Of them may vote:
for Chas. L. Colby or Horace Rublce..
The Republican party can hardly keep
them out Of It's Senatorial caucus. pno-
vldlng they go in agreeing to support
the caucus nominee, because to exclude
them might defeat some candidate for.
the United States Senate who would
otherwise be nominated, and Who. on
account Of their exclusion, might bolt
the caucus with his following Of Re
publicans and elect their man regard
less of the caucus manipulators. Of
course all these men can vote for
Republican. They will owe no allegi-
lnce to the Democratic party, for
here will be no Democratic party"

Boivin and Brady Shot.

We called on L. Boiyin, Of Abbots
ford, while he was in town on Tues
day and inquired of him how The
trouble arose between him and Edward
Brady on last Friday evening at Alb
botsford, in which both were shot, anC
Brady fatally. The facts as he stated
them are as follows:
Brady came in Bovin & Co.'s saloon
from hunting deer, with combined
rife and shot gun. He spent the af-
ternoon at that place and drank two
glasses of whisky. They entered into
conversation concerning who was the
champion fighter on the Cline in
which they differed in opinion, Boivin
claiming that lie Claire, of Centralia
was the ''huskiest lad" Brady diff
fered, and claimed he had cowed LIE
Claire, had kicked and slapped him,
etc. They warmed up on the subject,
soon begin to quarrel, using some hard
words. Boivin offered to bet $50
that Brady never insulted lie Claire to
his face. Both were excited, and ar
gued the case but few moments long
er when Brady said he could fix
Boivin too, and grasping his gun fired
the contents of the rife barrel at
BoVin, missing him, the ball entering
the plank eleven inches. Bovin then
fired his revolver at Brady, shoot ing
him in the abdomen, the ball passing
through, entering his right thigh.
Brady again shot at Boivin who dodg-
ed in time to save his life, but his
right hand received several wounds.
the main part of the charge, co insisting
of 80 buckshot, entering the wall
Brady then fell to the floor and Boivin
claims that Brady forgaye him, saying
that he (Brady) was to blame, and
then expired. Boivin gave himself up
to the authorities and justice of the
peace summoned a jury, gave him a
trial and acquitted him after which he
came to this city. The trial by this
justice. of course is not according to
law and will have to be done over
again. We give this as coming from
Boivin as he related it to US, and not
having heard the other side, we give
it for what it is worth. This whole
matter is simple, silly and ridiculous.
Boivin is a single man. Brady leaves
a wife and one child to morn.
