admirers in this country, who com
prize all who have ever seen her, save
only the professional critics of the met

first appearance and have never since

which she has now received in England
cannot be very gratifying to the very

As predicted by the INTELLIGENCER.
Ex-Governor lloyt did not speak at the
Republican meeting in his old home,
Wllkesbarre, on Saturday evening. It
is true that he was confined to his room
in Philadelphia and was unable to GO,
but he never had any intention of going
nor of making any such speech as he was
billed for. Chairman Cooper knew that
he would not be there, but held out the
promise of his presence as an attraction
to secure an audience for himself. Tx

THE Philadelphia Times is right in its
estimate that the issue of prohibition is
one with "a keen double edge" The
Republicans have found this out in the
present state campaign. Although Il
was notorious that Mr.. Niles was q
conspicuous supporter OF the prohibition
amendment ut Harrisburg, no reference
was made to it, nor any attempt made to
introduce the fact into the present cam
paign, until a hireling henchman of the
Republican party, an internal revenue
official, sought to persuade a Demo
cratic brewer at WiiliamspOrt to
support Niles on the ground that
he had been "a friend of the liquor
interest at Harrisburg and hei ped and
worked hard for it," 1t was soon ascer-
tained that this was so tlagrant a misrep
resentation that Niles true record was
called for and produced. The other edge
of the sword was turned toward his party
and cut very keenly, The Amendment

AN interesting decision in reference to
tho rights Of tenants claiming damages
for injuries done their business has been
recently rendered in New York. Two
tenant physicians brought suit against the
Manhattan and Metropolitan elevated
railroad companies for loss of patients in
consequences of the noise, dust, smoke,
and the obstruction of light and air,
caused by tho construction of the railway
over tho sidewalk within oight inches of
th' building occupied by the plaintiffs.
iao cause occupied sOmo time in it's trial
anu tho jury have recently returned YER
dict OF $50, 900 damages for the plaintiffs.
IL has long been popularly supposed that
although the owners Of building had a
good claim for damages in consequence Of
any Obstruction, the tenant could not ask
compensation for an injury done to n mere
easement The present verdict disproyes
this assumption and it's righteousness will
not DO questioned. 1t may DO be taken
as direct notice to grasping corporations
that even tenants have rights capable of
enforcement by the laws Of the land.

About Barker.

Alex. III. Tarbett, Of Butte, who has
been spending a few days at Barker, re-
turned last evening on his way home.
Mr.. Tarbett is mining expert, and his
visit to Barker was made in part on his
own account and in a measure as the
representative of Butte parties who de-
sire to know something about the camp
with possible view Of investing there.
In conversation with our reporter last
evening, Mr.. t. expressed himself as
well pleased with the camp, and stated
that its prospects, in his opinion, are ex-
ceedingly bright. The work of develop
ment has not proceeded far enough yet
to tell with certainty what will be the
outcome, but the prospects are certainly
most favorable. While we have not his
statement to that effect, or his authority
for saying SO, yet we would not be sur
prised if a second smelter at Barker,
probably in one of the adjacent districts,
did not result from Mr.. Tarbett's visit.
He will return in three or four weeks to
make further investigation, as it is lit
tie too early yet for travel in the noun

Shooting ARRAY.

A Frenchman named Mayette, who
has ranch about mile south of Cal
garry on the Macleod road, shot his
wife in the breast, in the early part of
this month. She had left him and gone
to live with her father in his lodge on
the Elbow river, and at the time she
was shot, about eleven o'clock at night,
she was lying in the lodge asleep with
her little sister, who was also shot in
the arm. After she left Meyette he had
been repeatedly trying to get her back
to live with him, but she refused, and
on the night in question, he went to the
lodge, saw where she was sleeping, and
then went around and shot her from the
outside. Her father at once rushed over
to the police. and detachment, accom-
panied by w. Gladstone, at once started
after him. They found him in bed in
his own house, and when accused of the
shooting, denied all knowledge of the
affair, but a shotgun In his possession
bore signs of having been recently dis
charged, and the shot extracted from
the wound corresponds In size to that in

at Fort Conrad (Kipp's post, stating

two Of the Piegans being killed and one

reds suffered any loss is not stated, nor
are further details. of the affair given.

another, leaving the property of whites
alone, the case is not so alarming. But

TROUBLE BREWING AT PECK.
Indians Stealing Stock and Defying the
Police-Ths Military Called Upon
to Interfere.

The Indians at the Fort Peek agency
have been very troublesome and difficult
to control ever since the agency was es-
tablished. Many of them are inyeter-
ate thieves, and despite the care taken
by the agent and the Indian police to
prevent outrages, there has been con-
siderable horse stealing, and many COM
plants have been made by settlers who
have Suffered from their depredations.
Generally the agent, Mr.. Porter, has
been able to secure the return Of stolen
stock, but often the Indians have man
aged to elude the police and keep the
horses cached until they could be dis
posed of. About three weeks ago set
tier on the Musselshell lost twelve head
of horses, which he succeeded in trailing
to the Indian camp. He found one OF
his horses near the agency and was
leading it to the post on Poplar river
when an Indian rode up and cut the
l-riat, wounding the owner in the hand
while doing so, and drove the horse OIL.
Agent Porter then ordered the Indians
to bring the horses to the agency, but no
attention was paid to his demand, and
they fatty refused to turn them over to
the agency police. The assistance of the
military az Camp Poplar River was then
called in, and, in response to the agents
request, Capt. O. B. Reed, Eleventh in
fantry, On the 18th inst, set out with
four enlisted men, four Indian scouts
and two civilians for Deer Tails CAM,
six miles below the agency. He seized
the entire herd of horses, arrested the
leader of the party that ran off the stock,
also the Indian who did the cutting,
and demanded the stolen horses as the
condition of returning the Indian po-
nies. After much talk the horses were
given in exchange for Deer Tails ponies,
and Capt Read returned to Poplar riv-
er, bringing with him the two Indians
he had arrested. The Indians were at
once put in the guard house, and will
be kept there awhile Capt. Read con-
siders chem bad Indians, and thinks
they should be punished to the full ex-
tent Of the law as an example to others.

Horse Stealing.

News was brought in yesterday after
noon that man named Dustin had left
Clagett with some twenty head of stolen
horses, some Of them supposed to have
been taken from the vicinity of Rocky
Point. He was making for the Cana
dian territory. It is said that Dustin
had been killing cattle. this winter that
did not belong to him, butchering them
and selling the meat at Clagett. x.
Beidlsr's present trip is said to be for
the purpose of arresting Dustin for the
last named offense, but the man left
is out OF Beidler's way. A telegram
went last night from here to Col. Ilges,
at Assinaboine, and he will probably
send immediate word to the Canadian
authorities, and they may perhaps head
off the horse thief before he succeeds in
disposing of the animals s9as.

manner. The roundup begins on the

will commence ON the Judith, whence
they will work west and south to Deep
