MILES CRY, December 9.-The exten.
siye supply firm and bank of A. II. Ninincer
4 Co., has failed. Liabilities, saa6,000. The
manager, now in Bismarck, says that the
report is exaggerated, that the liabilities
will not exceed $1,000, with ample asses
and that the assignments have been made
to Alexander Harding. The bank failure
was caused by an owe, stockiug with goods
and with active competition. The creditors
are mostly la ST. Paul. The firm will prob
ably resume.

TERRIBLE THEATER FIRE.
The Ring Thcater, Vienna. Burned and Hun
dreds OF Lives Lost.


The Ring Tbeaier, Vienna, was built in
1873, aud known for Time as The One,
handsomest theateIs in Europe, and seated
1900 people. 1t was there Patti and Bern
bardt appeared when in Vienna. IT faced
on the Scholten Ring, the most brilliant part
of the city, and near the public squares.
December Sth, the occasion of the feast of
the Immaculate Conception, was selected
for the second production at the Ring
Theater Of the last work Oaeubach wrote
comic opera entitled, Les Conte D'Hof'-
man. The performance was 10 begin at
p m. At ten minutes before that hour.
while some of the actors were already on the
stage and the house was faiIly filed, fiIe
broke out on the siage, whether from an
electric light or an alcohol lamps unknown.
The workmen who should have lowered the
iron screen dividing the stage from the au-
ditorum fed, aud The Stage curtain was
raised, disclosing 10 the audience The raging
fire on the stage. A terrible panic at once
began. Owing 10 The rush but few were
saved by the ordinary exits, the most of
those escaping doog so by jumping f,om the
third-siory windows into cloths held in the
street below. Many were injured in this
way, and many were trampled in trying to
escape by the doors. In a short time The
thea'er was gutted, aud only the gaunt walls
stood as = monument over the 500 or GOO
blackened dead within. 1t is even fea, ed
the deaths will reach 500. The Vienna
papers publish long and beartrendiug ae-
counts of The great horror-the greatest that
has occurred In Vienna.

Some c-ankiness from an Agita,or.


NEW YORK, December 9.-The zines re-
potter interviewed a prominent Irish asita-
tor, who said about Mcnamara, who is
wanted in Montreal in connection with the
recent attempt TO blow up public buildings:
81 saw him no later than to-day. He re-
turned from Canada night before last, aud is
at this moment only few blocks away. He
is determined fellow, brave as lion and as
true as steel. Six months ago he shot land
lord in Ireland, and came 10 this county.
In Ireland he was a gentleman, and kept a
pack Of hounds, but he was in full sympa-
thy with the poor peasantry. The intention
was to blow up the Court House in Montre-
al, the House of Parliament in Ottawa and
the Arsenal in Quebec, and this will yet be
done"
O1O'Donovan Rosa the aeitaior said:
He is at the head of the movement and TO-
day he has 10000 men at his command. The
combined societies bold meetings in Ibis
city and direct The work in this codnHy and
aid it on the other side. A skiImish fund of
$4,000 can be raised. The city of Chicago
has contributed 5000 to the gene, al iu"d.

DEATH or JOHN w. FoRNEY.

John W. Forney, one of the two most
prominent journalists in Pennsylvania, is
dead. He was born in Lancaster, in 1917,
aud took regular apprenticeship as a
printer. In 1856 he assumed the edito' ship
Of the Pennsylvania, an influential Demo
cratic paper. Six years later he became
Clerk OF the House Of Representatives, aud
in 1857 was a candidate 10 Pennsylvania for
the Senatorship, and defeaieG by a few
votes. He went 10 Philadelphia aud
started the Press, and was q great power in
securing the nomination and election of
Buchanan. During the Lecompton strife in
Congress he turned AGAINST Buchanan-;n-
dured thereto 1t has been surmjsed by
Buchanan having failed 10 give him Cabi-
net appoiutment--aud tbencefotward until
1880 acted with the Republicans. During
this time, from 1861 10 1865 he was ssS~cre-
ta,y Of the Senate, and at the same time
was editor OF the Washington Chroa;ci.
and Philadelphia Press, papers that exc ed
as potential iuaueuce duriug The War of he
UoIon as even the :reaier New YORK da;lies.
Mr.. Forney was rapid aud able wtifer. an
indefat gable worker, and one Of the best
informed men In the country, doing an i'm
mensily of work beside that enumerai ed.
His weak points were his disposition, like
Abbott, to exalt his favoihes 20 a pinnacle Of
worship, to condemn his enemies a0ehauta-
bly,, aud 10 consider all meu 100 much from
The standpoint of their relations and uses 10
himself. After the Chicago convention, IN
1850. he declated for Hancock, Saving been
embiitered beyond reconciliation bv he de-
feat of Grant, and dufipg the campaiso ian
his paper, the Progress, IN the interest Of
Democracy. Colonel Forney died in Ph'a-
dephia December 9th.
The other great editor Of Pennsylvania is
Colonel A. X. Mcclure, of be Philadelphia
times. He Is about the same age as Colonel
Foney. He learned the printing business
in Columbia, and soon after started the
Frcnkiin Repository at Chambeisburg. He
was Republican and the best informed
politician In the State, was for several years
a member OF The State legislature. and ex
erted an influence duIiog The war Though
his paper aud as the confidential friend OF
Governor Curtin, as great as that OF Fotnev.
After the first election OF Grant, Mcclure
became alienated fiom him aud from The
Republican patty, and established a. an anil
Republican paper the Philadelphia Times,
which he still conducts. he and Forpey,
despite political differences, have been close
friends, doubtless owing In some degree 10
the similar paths they bad followed from
obscurity 10 eminence. But Colonel For
ney went hack TO his first loye--Democrary
land why should not Colonel Mcclure, one
of ibe fouagss of the Republican party,
and estranea som II by insufficient causes,
re1urn TO b. and give his later aud ripper
years 10 tht ihuse with which the best work
Of bis life is identified?

Whitaker Sit His Own Ears on.

WASHINGTON, December 9.--It is rumored
In amy circles that Advocai eG eneI al Swain
has affirmed the 6ndiDg of the Court In the
Whitaker case. He has spent months going
over the 1000 pages Of testimony, and has
given the matter The most thorough sitting.
IL Is said he finds that the Cou,t Martial
convicts Whitaker of mut,lating his own
ears, and he sustains the verdict as based
upon the evidence bearing upon the case. 1t
is believed, therefore, that the end Of the
whole matter will be that Whitaker will be
dismissed from the rolls aud his name will
disappear at last fom public view.

JAMES III. MILLS.
Secretary, etc.
Reference was made to the publication of
the Laws aud the financial matters connected
Herewith, with the suggestion that the Treas
ury Department might perhaps deem II more
desirable TO make the new appointment take
effect Jan. j, 1882. As the Secretary holds
until his successor Is appointed and qualities
by oath and bond, IL Is presumed II was con-
sideree best 10 defer the succession until the
date named, and as the Laws have since been
printed aud the audit by the Treasury
Department made, there appears no reason
why the appointment should be deferred
many days longer.
In this connection we wish TO thank the
many friends whe have been courteous, have
spoken approyingly and suggested CONTINUE
ance Office. Their kindness is appreciated,
a rs That OF several gentlemen who based
their applications on the fact that the present
incumbent was not an applicant for reap
pointmen.. We never sought an Office of
emolument. We do not now, and never ex-
pect TO seek or accept another. There are
those we'll qualified and worthy who esteem
public position. We hope to see one Of our
own citizens appointed to this Office.
There are Montanians who would like Il and
who are as competent and deserving rs any

the place, and several Of them have applied
therefor. We trust that TO one Of these will |
