The Utah & Northern.

There is not much in the way of local
railroad matters to report this week,
and our space is SO pre-occupied as to ex-
clude general items Of length. During
the week various rumOrs were afioat re-
garding cessation of work on the Deer
Lodge extension, but were incorrect.
They probably grew out of the revival
of the effort to have the Union Pacific
extend the Utah & Northern from Dillon
towards Helena, and the conclusion
drawn therefrom, that if that branch
should be pushed with q view to reach
ing Three Forks this season, the graders
on this extension and the iron for it
might be transferred to Beaverhead Val
ley. The matter seems to have been en-
tirely an apprehension, as the railroad
officers have no information or orders
looking to that result. Work is pro-
crossing steadily and 1t is expected
tracklaying will men in a few
days. The grading is now nearly all
completes! above Warm Springs, and the
graders are being transferred to this side.
One party is grading on Estill & Hol-
lands farm, n mile above town, and a
considerable force is expected to COM
mence work on the depot grounds next
Monday. 1t is confidently anticipated
by railroad officials that the ears will be
running here by August.-New North

MONTANA MATTERS.

MormOns who intend working on the
railroad are arriving in great numbers
at Missoula.
Track laying on the Deer Lodge ex-
tension of the Utah & NOrthen will be-

There is a report that the Canada Pa
cific consents to the Northern Pacific
running across the boundary line into
Manitoba.
The trial Of David Morrison, Of Deer
Lodge valley, who is charged with as
saulting his wife, is set for trial on Fri
day next. Morrison is now under $500
bonds.
General Anderson says the ends of the
Northern Pacific will meet in Montana
in 1883. He says the scheme for work
ing in the center over the Utah North
ern has been declared off.
The bridges on the Greenhorn, be-
tween the Seven and Eleven mile houses,
were swept away on Thursday afternoon
by the swollen stream. The bursting of

1t is reliably reported that more thor
oughbred stock has been purchased for
Montana this year than ever before. In
Beayerhead county the sales Of a large
number of mixed breed of cattle have
been made for the purpose, in many
eases, of supplanting the inferior brands
of cattle with thoroughbreds.
Nate Vestal was taken into Helena
from his ranch at Bear Tooth last Satur-

ceived from a kicking cayuse. Mr.. Yes.

on the mouth and chin, and complains
of q severe pain in the chest. The latest
accounts report the patient doing as well
as, can be expected.

The bill reported by Mr.. Hoar, few
DAYS ago, from the Committee on Priv.
ileges, to fix the time and manner Of
counting the electoral votes for presi.
dent and vice-president, andt to regulate
the final count by Congress, provides
that the electors of each State shall
meet and give their votes on the second

latures of the States may direct, or that
each State before the time fixed for the

mine by tribunal, of its own creation,
all controversies concerning the ap.
pointmenS of it's own directors. That
the governments list of electors shall
be made in accordance with such deter
mination, and that no electoral vote
from which one return has been re.

Sheep will come nearer TO utilizing
everything which grows on the farm.
Less labor will be required for getting
feed and stock together. The returns
will come Ia soener and oftener than
with any farm stock except hogs. Less
money Is required for shelter and fenc-

Midnight i'm q Prison.

There is something very solumn in
large convict prison at night. A faint
sound of healthy slumber comes from
the cells where the convicts sleep.
Perhaps there are thousand, perhaps
only five hundred, undergoing punish
ment; but whatever be the number,
one is conscious that nowhere else save
in convict prison could so many hui
man beings sleep with so little to inter-
rupt the sense of calm repose. In the
same number of people taken from the
ordinary world, there would be slight
sounds arising from nightmare follow
ing an indigestion perhaps from some
"Reminiscences troubling the conscience
on the question whether the, strong
steps taken for payment OF that Dill
were not in the circumstances slightly
harsh. or some other disturbing recol-
lection; there might also be uneasy
thoughts and dreams creative OF rest
lessness. None of these troubles dis
turb the sleep of the habitual criminal.
This is not because his conscience lies
easy on him, but because ne does not
possess an article known to the rest OF
the world as conscience. Hence ne
neither enjoys the satisfaction OF It's
healthy and genial condition nor the

Awful Holocaust.

Of all calamities which have ever IN
modern times overtaken q crowd OF hu-
man beings in a single building, the
burning of the church of La Campanla'
Santiago, in 1868, has never been
equaled or approached. In one short
hour, 1000 people, nearly all ladies' OF
youth and rank and beauty, were re-
duced to ashes. The flower OF the capi-
tai of Chill had gathered in the ch1lrcn
in a spirit of religious excitement, 10
nav its devotions at the closing cele-
bration of the Immaculate Conception.
Every seat was full. Nothing that IN
vention could suggest or wealth supply
was omitted in the adornments OF 'ne
occasion. The interior OF the cnnrch
was hung from roof to floor with tloat,
ing gauze and rich drapery. and llgnteu
with festoons of innumerable parainne
lamps. An acolyte, in lighting the lasS
lamp before the shrine, raised a name
which spread instantaneously. A rush
soon choked the entrances with wan
of dead, and lying twelve feet IN heigIs.
The melting lead from the roof ana tns

down upon the heads OF 2,OOO tenGei
women, who could be seen from Tue

Why Should the Texas Western not be
Built?

The Caldwell Register seems to have but
little faith in railroads, or rather in the
promises of railroad companies; and gives the
Star indicator little punch under the short

construction of the Texas Western. Twenty
year ago we might have been skeptical on
this point too, but in this day and time,
when roads are completed almost before you
ARE aware that work has commenced on
them, we are not at all disposed to doubt
