The Wool Market.


Boston Commercial and Shipping List, June IL.
The past week has been the most active
week of the year, and the sales foot up quite
formidable figures, amounting to upwards of
3600,00 pounds of all kinds From this it
might naturally be inferred that there was
great excitement in the market, but such is
not the case.
Manufacturers have been free purchases,
because our market offers better assortment
than any in the country, and there is feel
ing that prices are as low now as they are
likely to be for some time to come. $50.
There is very firm tone TO prices, and
some slight advance has been obtained on
desirable lots, but the advance has not been
general. The feeling among the trade, how
ever, is decidedly better. Manufacturers pur-
chase with more confidence and holders are
more indifferent about selling, as it is doubt
full If the present supplies can be replaced at
current rates. In all the leading markets We
notice the same firm tone.
From San Francisco the telegraphic advi-
ces received Indicate a very firm market, es-
pecially for northern woods, and for them in
San Francisco prices have advanced to 81 az
- cents, and IN some instances as high as
1921 O., costing here a. high as 46@H cents
d ID.
The prospects of the trade are decidedly
more favorable. Goods are selling more
freely, Clothiers are doing large and prof
liable business, merchandise generally IL
tending upward in piice, but while we look
for firm market for wool, II does not appear
to us that any material advance can be su5-
tanned.
Pulled wool continues to attract considera-
BILE attention, and is selling quite freely at
full prices. The transactions of the week
have been 3jS 200 fbs., super and X, and prices
have ranged from q 10 47c.

A FRIG HTFuL ACCIDENT.
The Heroic Fortitude Of the Victim.

From the Inter Mountain, jane is.
About II o'clock this morning one Of the
most terrible accidents yet recorded in this
camp happened to q man named Patrick Null
ligan, q miner working In the Grey Rock.
The particulars of the probable fatality are
AZ follows: At the time stated the bucket,
filed with water and containing half a dozen
drills TO be sharpened, was rung to the sur
face The carman on top. instead of lifting
the steel from the bucket, attempted to
dump Its contents all at once into the recep-
tacle provided, but one drill, about two feet
long and weighing seven or eight pounds,
slipped back into the shaft and fell TO the
bottom. 1t struck Patrick Mulligan n little
back of the shoulder blade and, passing
through his body, narrowly missed the heart
and partly emerged from between the ribs
about midway between the shoulder and the
hip
The boys In the mine nj once rushed to his
assistance and were In the act of pulling the
drill from where IL entered. as n few inches
of Il protruded from the shoulder, when the
injured man, either wonderfully cool or
frenzied with agony, seized the lower end Of
the steel which projected from his side. and,
giving IL a powerful wrench, pulled itthrough
his bod, and threw it0H the floor. The head
OF the drill being fiatfened by the blows Of
the sledpe hammers made the wound c0.sid-
erabiy larger than before, and II II feared
that this exhibition Of extraordinary courage
and forfitude will greatly diminish the I'M
fortunate mans chances Of recovery. "A few
minutes after the accident the unfortunate

THE ELECTION.
NEW CHICAGO TO THE FRONT.
Bayonets and Baiioting, and How Tammany
Trickery Gained a Republican
Victory

NEW CHICAGO, june I.-This city aroused
itself from its lethergy and turned out e.,

took place here last Thursday night, under
the auspices of Professors st. Lawrence and
Hines, two blind musicians. IL was publicly
announced that an Italian guitar woultl be
given to the most popular lady present, which
was TO be determined by vote of three bal
lots, and each ballot to be read immediate ~
after counting. The Republicans too the
lead at the start, and crossed the WIRE in
magnificent style with seventy-nlne votes
more than enough necessary for choice.
The voting possessed the same features
which has characterized the Albany Senator,
ial contest. The friends of each candidate
were just as sanguine and enthusiastic as
though acountry's representation was at stake.
A full detachment of soldiers from Fort Mis-
soula were on hand, and once more the dis
consulate Democrats c-y Fraud! frand 1"

Miss r. the De Medici of our neighbor-

was sorry TO see the convention fail to make
her election unanimous, for she Is deservedly

THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
Piles of Peddiers' Goods for a Promissory MOI,

One evening not long since one of our
prosperous farmers drove into town with
something in his wagon covered up careful
~ with blanket The merchants rushed ND
to secure a nice lot of fresh eggs ditto, the
merchants. The butchers, thinking 10 was "A
calf. were after veal, but no one could get any
satisfaction The farmer was non-committal
aud would not permit the blanket 10 be rails
ed, but gathering the bundle up tenderly and
with care, carried ii into the hotel, and for
the time being placed IL in a secret place.
Suspicious been aroused, Coroner Strang
was notified. and rhe fact that the farmer
struck be" line for n lawyers office, evil
IDENTITY to get advice rs 10 the statute consti-
tuting the several degrees of murder excite
ment ran high, but the Coroner having been
placed hors du combat, nothing could be done.
The whole thing remained n mystery until
the next morning when the farmer, who,
II seems was being slowly consumed with re-
morse, made a clean breast Of it, The day
previous two peddlers had visited his house,
and having made up his mind to kill the
next pcddler that came TO his ranch, not ex-
pecting double team, he found he would
toget away with both, and retreating TO the
kitchen TO get his trusty needle gun, gave
said peddler time TO unroll small lot of
goods, and ~ he returned the boss peddler
threw down a small piece Of Ga cashmere
and said, Mt the same time gyrating his hands
on the double quick: " Here is piece of
goods which, If made up, would cost you
d" S27.50, but IL IL not made up and you can
I" have the two suits for $3.50 land so on
through SIX pieces amounting 10 si60,
would cost you In the stores $3.50, but we
can afford IL; English imported goods,
mind you, and in order to he literal here
"are three dress patterns and n half dozen
"shawls which we will give you; don't want
"any money; only your note at six months"
And In about two minutes the peddlers had
the farmers NOTE and the suspicious bundle
was the goods which the farmer some how
now wanted TO exchange for the note. But
the peddlers claimed TO have disposed of the
note and the farmer il out. He has found
that he does not need the goods, and that If
he did he could have bought the same goods
or better goods in retail store for forty per
cent. less, and now he thinks the peddler
must be n mesmerist or asleight of-hand man.
He don't feel as proud of his purchase As he
might, and the next peddler will get cool
reception when he stops at the ranch Of
well. we will call him Smith.

II is with regret that the very many cordial
friends of Colonel Botkin entertain the
thought Of his resignation and departure
from Deer Lodge. He has been in charge of
the prison since May, 1878, when he came
among us a stranger, and to-day we do not
know of a person in our town but entertains
for him high regard or the warmest friend
ship. His administration of the Prison has
been one Of marked efficiency, and while ex-
cellent discipline has been maintained the
treatment of the prisoners has been humane
and considerate, aud the expenses have been
reduced to neariy one-half what they were
Col. Botkin is n partner in the house of
Stanley q Co., Butte, and their large and
increasing business rendering his services in
the firm desirable and more remunerative, he
has elected to locate in Butte.
1t is understood Marshal Botl1in will APP
point as the Coloneps successor Mr.. Hugh
O'Neill, whom nearly all Mohtanians know,
and who for year past has been guard in
the prison, and during portion of the time
in charge. We are glad this selection has
been made, regarding il as eminentlv de-
served, and assured that the interests of the
government will be faithfully and efficiently
looked after while he is in charge.
Mr. Harry Sims is appointed Deputy U. s.
Marshal here, and will perform the duties of
that position in addition to his present one
as guard.
There were 81 prisoners In the Penitentiary
on the Goth inst, with three to arrive from
Bannack.
