the River.

The proposed excursion on the river
to Helena next Sunday, under the
auspices of the Macaronians, promises
to be on unusually interesting affair.
The managers of the trip have
determined to see that none
but the most respectable
people participate in the excursion.
No improper characters of any kind
will be admitted on the boat, and
those who may feel inclined to let
their wives and children accompany
them will fud everything Of the most
circumspect description.
The waters have now begun to re-
eede, and persons wishing to see the
great river in all Of its majestic pro-
portions will do we'll to take advant-
age of the proposed trip, as two weeks
from now the the indications are that
the water will be within banks at all
points.
Remember this trip will be by the
fine steamer Dean Adams, next Sun
day and it is to Helena and return, all
for 81.

The Edmunds anti polygamy bill
which passed the House without
amendment by vote of 100 to 50,
makes the crime of pelygamy punish
able by fine and imprisonment and a
sufficient cause for challenging juror;
legitimates the issue of polygamous or
bigamOus marriages until Jan. l, 1888;
DISTINGUISHES polygamists, and pro-
vides for the appointment of a com
mission Of five persons by the Presi-
dent, the duties of the members being
to canvass election returns and issue
certificates of elections to persons who
are eligible and appear to have been
lawfully elected. 1t is to be hoped
that the time has come when polygamy
will be stamped out. 1t has disgraced
this country and defed all decency
and civilization long enough

The wonderful genius, Blind Tom,
appeared at the Greenlaw 0pershouse
last night before large audience, and
performed with the same skill that has
been a marked feature of his career
for twenty-five years past. The audi
ence were well satisfied with the en-
tertainment. The party accompanying
Blind Tom did not reach the city
until near FIVE o'clock last evening,
but the programme was fully carried
out, and as cleverly executed as if they
had arrived earlier. Another enter.
tainment will be given tonight.

Wall street.

New YORK, March 16. Wall
street markets are trong this morn
ing, and prices as far as established
are higher. The bulls are confident
and base their predictions for higher
prices upon the continued buying of
VanderbuiIt, Gould and theirfo followers
and the important purchasing orders
from abroad and investment demand
for better classes Of stock. Late yes
terday afternoon the limited bears
covered the short, and it is estimated
that about one-fourth of the late
heavy short interest has been bought
in by some of the large bears, which
are still out, and the plan is to bid up
stocks whenever there are signs of
buying from certain quarters. Very
strong kilograms have been sent abroad
lately, advising the purchase Of stocks
The result has been a rapid increase
in foreign buying by the best houses.
London bought Vanderbilt, Reading,
Denver and Illinois Central
in large amounts yesterday. The Ger
man demand for bonds is better than
for long time.
EXCHANGE continues to decline on
large offerings of security bills.
Wall street is changing from short

them the following; Gould is said to

WHAT mockery the name of justice
must be to Sergeant Mason. He is in
the Albany penitentiary for shooting
at Guiteua while the latter, who
killed the President in broad daylight,
vas fairly liOnized for months and is
now a high fed prisoner Of state.
There are thousands of people who
would have acted just as Mason did if
they had been given the opportunity.
1t might have been we'll enough to
imprisOn the Sergeant few months
for his bad craftsmanship, but as tile
sentence stands it is outrageously

Undermining one RIufIa.

The dangerous practice of digging
sand from under the bluffs met with a
severe check ia the Police Court to-
day. Sandy Harris and Jake Watson
were arraigned for this offense and
proven guilty, whereupon Sandy was
fined $40 aud Jake $50. President
Hadden also sternly rebuked a man
who stood by for encouraging the
practice by buying the sand thus taken
without asking questions, when he had
every reason to believe it was dug from
under the bluffs. and warned him that
he might be the next man fined if he
did not look sharp. In fning Watson,
the Judge remarked that he wished he
had the power to fne him double the
amount and send him before the grand
jury, and in conclusion said he was de-
termined to break up practice which
was running our river front and en-
dangeriDg property along the banks,
by the sternest of measures.

Senat0r HIlI's Case HOpeless.


Washington special to Gin. COmmercial.I
Senator Hill, of Georgia, remarked
to-day to a friend who called to see
him, that his life was all behind him,
he was sitting there and waiting for
the eud simply. He was easier than
for some days, but without hope Of
permanentalleviation of his symptoms.
He has had four surgical operations
performed without permanent relief.
The last operation was the removal Of
one Of the parotid glands, which be-
came so inhamed as to necessitate this
severe treatment. The incision now
refused to heal, and is discharging pus
constantly into the mouth. 1t tran
spires that Mr.. Hill himself has in
dulged no hope of cure from the first,
as he lost a sister aud brother from
cancer, and it is hereditary in the
family. The physicians are contem-
plating the necessity of fifth oper-
alton to prolong the Senator's life.
