Suicide in Helena.

The Independent of the 9Th says Mr.. John
Glenn, an employe in the livery stable Of Mr..
J. II. Mcfarland, upon going to feed the
horses of that establishment at about o clock
yesterday morning, found In one Of the stalls
the dead body of Lem Vader. The body was
lying upon the straw, face down, the head
resting upon carefully folded rubber coat,
Immediately under the mouth and nostrils
was found large sponge, such az III used
about the stable for washing buggies. Two
bottles of the capacity of an ounce each We're
found near the entrance to the stall, one con-
tanning a small amount of chloroform and
the other small quantity Of aconite.
All the facts indicated that ID was the con-
tents of this bottle with which the sponge
had been saturated, and through the influence
Of which the unfortunate man had entered
upon the sleep that knows no waking. The
deceased, who had been employed ~ dri-
yer on several stage lines since coming into
the Territory from Nevada some two years
ago, was thrown from horse last summer,
and injured TO such an extent that he was not
able thereafter to do much manual work. For
several weeks he has been engaged In driving
teams about town for NJ essrs. Piatt ~ Young
and Mr.. Mcfarland. IL In supposed that he
felt discouraged on account Of his misfor-
tunes, and seeing no reasonable opportunity
Of lettering he concluded to kill himself.
The verdict of the coroners jury was in ac-
cordance with the foregoing facts.

il further remarked that there il magnif-

fully concur. 1t has been a long time since
Butte has had an opportunity to boast OF a
first-class journal. While the Miner was in

Democratic party. We repeat with emphasis

THE PROPOSED DIVISION.

We have not time or space for extended
comment on the bill submitted by the Butte
members of the Deer Lodge county delega-
ton for division of this county.
The line proposed is the first standard par
allel north Of the base line, and crosses Deer
Lodge river at Silvan Vitano's ranch, known
as the supper crossing" and running west
enters the mouth OF Warm Spring Canon and
divides the settlements In the Canon nearly
equally. Just above Levengood's this line
strikes into the mountains on the south side
Of Warm Spring Creek and running west
passes one and half miles south OF Silver
Lake and intersects the extreme headwaters
OF Flint Creek and "Stony," or Rock, Creek
West of the meridian of Levengoods, Silver
Bow county, along the north side Of the main
chain of the Rocky Mountains would be
strip twenty-three miles long and two to
five miles wide, and inaccessible without
passing through part Of what would be left
of Deer Lodge county. This western strip
has no population and Is not worth quar-
rel. But the proposed line will take into
the new county 7. AN. r. 10 w. and I. 4
N. r.. II W., which townships are in Deer
Lodge valley and along Warm Spring creek
and contain large population engaged ex-
clusively in agricultural pursuits, and which

tion to being included withinthe new county.
We understand q memorial, or remon-

Death OF John .. Penn b erton.

John =. Pembcrton died at his home in
Canton, Missouri on the 9Th inst. His seri-
Gus illness was known here for some time
previous, and from the knowledge OF his del
icate constitution the news of his deaf h,
though sad, was not unexpected. FROM gen
tlcmrn who have known him for a long term
of wears we get the following relative to MS
history: Mr. Pemberton was born in Ken
lucky and moved 10 Missouri ut an early PEE
Rod of his life. From that State he went To
Kansas, residing there during the years lS22-
Z, engaging while there in the Touring bnsi-
ness in Doniphan county. From there ne
iOurneyed west TO Colorado and was one oil
the original locators of Denver. In 1858 he
came TO Montana, settled in this valley and
assisted in the location of Labarge City
now known as Deer Lodge City. He en-
gagged in this immediate vicinity until he
made a discovery of gold in Tiger gulch, near
Blackfoot City. With Others ditch was
constructed to carry water to the discovery
and the working was virtually the first prof
liable mining done on the west SIDE. Inc
opening III this claim led to the discovery OF
the valuable placer deposits of Washington,
Jefferson, Mcclellan and Deep creek, whose
Yields have contributed so largely to the
wealth of the county. In the year 1866 he In
connection with II. S. Kelley engaged in the
general merchandising business in this city,
and was very successful, their house standing
first among the mercantile establishments OF
the country, enjoying reputation for non
esty and fair dealing that is seldom equalled
Mr.. Pemberton soon after assisted in the
opening of the valuable Bratton Bar mines
opposite Pioneer, and the first impetus to
mining In that locality was largely due to the
successful working of this property by Mr.
Pemberton Thos START and others. His sue
success induced Mr.. Pcmberton TO en-
gage in prospecting ventures, and he has eX-
pended large amounts of money in the open
ing and development of mines on the West
Side, and in addition contrib uted literally to
all enterprises having for their object the
good Of the county. During the past few
wears Mr. Pemberton has devoted large
norton of his time TO the stock business and
has succeeded in the venture.
In recording the death Of John \. Pember-
ton we do so with feeling of sorrow. He
was of the good men of the earth Public
Spirited, liberal, honest, his death il lament
ed by nil who knew him. His family have
,"cere sympathy of the people of the
~ which Mr.. Pembcrton has
hVed SO long, ai~ Car whose welfare he 10
persiStcntly labored. hn.-,o,,ory will .yay
be respected by us all.

Large Subscriptions.

NEW YORK, January 6.-The Posts finan-
cial article says: We are informed the do
nestle subscriptions to the $4,000, 900 bonds
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
recently offered, exceed $4,000, 0OO-by far
the larger part Of the subscriptions having
been made In London. As railroad nego-
tiation, this Is q success without parallel.
The money received for these bonds will, II
Is expected, enable the company to complete
a system of about 1900 miles, where 1t has
now less than 1000. As at present there Is
no organized speculation in the shares of the
company the knowledge Of the sue cess Of the
loan has had very little influence on the
price of either preferred or common stock
which now represents only the present mile
age, but which will also cover the road bull
with the proceeds Of these bonds.
