Murdered in Mistake.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. T.-Near Oloville
last night, james Andrews was shot dead
while unhltching the horses from the buggy
of J. b. Espy, with whom he had driven out
from town, by +. Il. Sproul. The murderer
at once proceeded to Oroville and surrended
himself. On learning he had killed Andrews
he expressed the greatest emotion, and made
full statement to the effect that he intended
to kill Espy, for whom he had been working
and who had seduced his wife. Both bar
rels of shotgun were emptied into Andrews
body. 1t appears Espy was warned of
Sprouts intention when some distance from
home, and alighted, leaving Andrews to take
the buggy to the house. He claims, how
ever, that he warned Andrews of the danger,
but the latter expressed no fear of Sproul
shooting him, forgetting the danger of mis-
take owing to darkness.

A Strong Man

New YORK, Sept. 24.-The SUMS Albany
special says the man who has beaten Conk-
ling In his own town and forced his stalwart
friends to bolt the convention, they could
not control, will be All object of curiosity in
New York next month when the Republican
State Convention assemblies. Samuel Lowry
Is very we'll remembered here. He came to
Albany first in 1870 as Assemblyman. The
next year he made jump to the Senate and
was reelected In 1878. He is from County
Down, Ireland, a county in Protestant
Ulster, adjoining that from which President
Arthur's father emigrated when six years
old. 1t seems probable now that he will be
admitted to the next State Convention In
place of Roscoe Conkling. That will be no
small triumph in itself. ....

pEADwooD MAIL MATTERS.

49,. Ola Montanians Mixed Up In Them.
OMAHA, Sept. 23.--Major John G. Furay,
Postoffice Inspector, has received written
confession from Postmaster Star, OF Dead
wood. TO the effect that he has been making
false returns about the arrival and depar-
ture of mails, showing that they were on
schedule time. The purpose was to accom-
modate the contractors, who had escaped
fines for days, and who had represented they
were carrying mails In fifty hours, while
really they were not. BY this misrepresenta-
ton they got their route expedited anc
their pay tripled. Furay tried to get the
United States grand jury there to 'ndict
Starr, but they suspiciously refused to DO IL.
A similar confession has been made to
Furay by Postmaster Clay, Of Sidney, Neb.
L. Fl. Corbin, agent of the stage line, and
Charles +. Iddings, his assistant, have been
arrested for conspiracy in inducing Clay to
make false report. They were examined
before United States Commissioner Allen,
who discharged them to-day, although the
evidence of the postmaster aud his confess
sion were against them.

WASHINGTON, September 2s.-President
Arthur TO-DAY directed the removal OF Sol.
Star, postmaster at Deadwood, Dakota, for
confessed completely with the star-route con-
tractors in defrauding the postoffice depart
ment.
Ben. Fl. Brewster, of Philadelphia, arrived
in Washington to assist ex-District Attorney
Bliss, of New York, and District Attorney
Corkhill in the preparation and prosecution
of the star-route cases when indictments are
secured. Bliss thinks ample evidence can be
secured for presentation to the grand jury to
entitle the government to indictments, and
intends to push matters as promptly as posi-
BILE. Counsel are confident they will have
President Arthur's support in every proper
effort to convict and punish the guilty men

Cabinet Rumors.

New YORK, Sept. 26.-The Evening Com
nerciaPs Washington special says: The
fact that Blaine will 90 direct home to
Maine from Cleveland furnishes ground for
suspicion that he will not return to WASH
ington until the President announces his in
tentions In regard to the Cabinet. have no
doubt from what have learned that there
has been pleasant understanding between
Arthur and Blaine, and but for the unpleas-
ant relations existing between Grant and
Conkling and the Secretary Of State that
Arthur would like to retsin him. That he
will resign Is pretty generally understood, If
not before the extra session, certainly before
the meeting of Congress In December.

The Mexican Government Suspends Railroads
Progress.

Progress.
Tucson, A. r., September 22.-J. r. Nor
lev, chief engineer Of the Sonora branch o.
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad,
arrived here tonight. The mexican govern
ment had caused suspension of the work on
that portion of the road north of the Hermo-
sillo toward the Arizona line, which would
cross the line at Nagalas, near the Santa Cruz
river. The Mexican government stopped the
work on the representations Of citizens on
the line of the Sonora river route, who are
trying to force the company to build to con-
meet at Deming or Ell Paso, which the engi-
neers reported to be impracticable. The or
der of the Mexican government causing q
suspension of the work has forced the rail-
road company to discharge five hundred
graders. There are yet about twenty miles
of track to lay before reaching Hermosillo.
This will be laid within the next thirty days.
Mr.. Morley thinks the suspension will be
temporary, and that as soon as the matter can
be Investigated by the Mexican authorities
permission will be granted to proceed in
building the road on the line selected by the
railroad company. t.E

Why the Wound Proved Fatal.

New York, Sept. 23.-Dr. Hamilton, who
attended the late President, yesterday dicta-
ted To Tribune reporter few general facts,
anticipating the detailed account of the au-
topsy soon to be issued. Referring to the
ball he said the presence of the ball In the
situation in which 1t was fond, was not the
immediate cause of death, as it was COM
pletely encrusted, and must have long since
ceased to cause irritation. The small frag-
ments of bone and the great lesion of the
lumbar vertebra are pathological facts,
which alone could endanger the patients
life. This lesion of the vertebrn the sur
.eons nal 40 means OF repairing, nor could
It have been REPEATED save Nv the process of
nature. Small fragments vi bone, widely
disseminated in the adjacent tissues, GER
tainly could not have been removed by any
surgical operation. II was determined by
the autopsy that the necessity did not exist
for the removal of the ball, or, In other
words, II 1t had not been for the lesion It
might have been carried for years without
causing death or Inconvenience. There was
no possible means Of knowing the situation
of the ball during life, as 1t gave no indica-
ton Of Its presence, nor could 1t have pos
sibly been reached and recognized by any
form of surgical probe. That death would
have been immediate and the inevitable re-
suit of any such adventure Is absolutely GER
tain. cannot believe that one intelligent
surgeon will hereafter think that at any
period In the progress Of the case the ball,
or fragments Of bone which Il sent before il,
could have been successfully removed, for,
Indeed, any serious attempt In that direction
would have resulted In speedy death. View
ing the case in the light Of our present
knowledge, am prepared to affirm that
suraery has no resources by which the fatal
result could have been averted.

THE Yellowstone Journal Of last week
said: awe are informed that the Govern
ment will build telegraph line from Fort
MAginnis to Fort Keogh, instead Of to He
lena, and we think this wise conclusion,
~ the line TO Fort Keogh will be through q
frcquented country, while the line to He
lena would cost more than the other, would
not bring Fort Maginnis In direct commune
cation with headquarters, and would pass
through country where the local business
would not pay the cost Of construction"
Which is exactly contrariwise to what the

Cabinet Makers at 1t Again.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The indications
are there will be some changes In the Cabi-
net before the close of the year. A gentle
man who holds high public position, and has
held close personal and official relations with
President Arthur for years, says: There
will be Cabinet changes within three months.
This gentleman remarked: "Had Garfield
survived and recovered, his Cabinet would
not have remained intact until the LIST of
January" He knew this to be fact, and,
therefore, 1t was NOT to be expected Presi-
dent Arthur would retain the Cabinet entire,
which would not have been continued under
Its creator had he lived. He was satisfied
President Arthur will want some Cabinet
offices filed with men of his own selection.
IL Is said by friends of MacVeagh that he Is
heartily tired OF Cabinet work, and would
gladly resign If he could do so with justice
to himself and his office. He has found the
duties more exacting and laborious than he
expected, and prefers the independence and
ease of private life and law practice. He
will not, however, 1t Is believed, under any
circumstances retire from the Cabinet until
the star route cases are disposed of. There
are numerous rumors in circulation as to fu-
ture Cabinet appointments. One Is that Gen.
Grant will be offered the Secretary of War,
while Lincoln will be transferred to the In
terror. Another is that ex-senator Conkling
will hacome Gecrptary of State and that
Second-Assistant Postmaster-GeneraI Elmer
will eventually be made Postmaster-Gen
eral. Inquiry made tonight at the Presi-
dents quarters, at Senator Jones' residence,
elected reply that all reports of this char
acter are without any authority of the Pres
ident, who has not as yet given any thought
thing to anyone on that subject.

Arthur Critically Commended.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The Herald Is ap-
parently going in for the new Administration,
saying: Arthur takes the helm Of State
resolved to be President. His inaugural
breathes words Of authority, and his deci-
sion not to call an extra session Of Congress,
but merely to summon the Senate for Ex-
ecutive business, in order to avert the doubt

SCIENTIFIC RELIGION"

The Apant Courier Of September 22d con-
tains two contributions having for their
burden response to an editorial In the NEW
NORTHWEST, entitled "Should Skeptics
Howl" The first Is by MFR. Bogert, and as
1t Ia merely querulous prattle, showing that
always fertile and generally graceful writer
Is out Of his depth, we dismiss 1t, and leave
him unmolestcd to the desired pursuit Of
his consideration of the Christian religion.
The other contribution is signed aHele-
ma" and bears evidence OF emanating from
the same person who contributed the article
10 the Herald entitled aChristianity on
Trial "-one OF the ablest and most insidi-
Gus contributions to infidel literature that has
appeared In the Territory, and not unworthy
the pen Of Paine or voltaire. "Helena
takes under consideration our declaration
that auntil aggressive skepticism has some
thing better than Christianity to offer to the
world, les mission Is simply one Of grand
larceny The writer, declaring that the
rubbish Of the ruins Of Christianity must be
pulled down before the infidel can erect his
building, and the ground cleared Of Christian
error and superstition by destructive criti-
cism before the scientist can frame code
which shall rule in place Of the code Of
Moses and Jesus, lays down the following
propositions:
