LIVINGSTON.
A Lively Young City.
Bozenan Courier. 1mn. IL

Bozeman Courier, Aug. II.
The old time resident of Gallatin county
who visits Livingston for the first time In
several months must be struck with Its re-
markable growth in that period. Almost
every branch Of business finds Its representa-
tive here, and some of the stocks of mer.
chandise carried are very large, One year
ago one store supplied all the country now
supplied by village with over 100 business
places.
With curiosity to know what branches of
business were represented we made a note
Of places on the prominent streets with the
following result:
Saloons, 80, Wholesale Liquor Houses, 4;
Beer Gardens, 2; Hotels, 10; Restaurants, 5:
Boarding Houses, 6; Lodging Houses, Q;
Lunch Houses, 3; Bakeries, 2; Livery and
Feed Stables, 6; Blacksmith Shops, 3; Gene.
raj Merchandise Stores, 3; Clothing Houses,
6; Grocery Stores, 0; Boot and Shoe Stores,
8; Taller Shops, !; Shoe Shop, /; Drug Stores,
2; Hardware Stores, 81 Meat Markets, Q;
Banks, 2. Harness and Saddlery, /; Furniture
and Crockery, 2; Jeweiry, a; Millinery, 8;
Dressmaking, 3; Books and Notions, /; Lum-
Der Yards, g. Barber Shops, z; Real Estate
Firms, 8; Newspapers. one daily and two
weekly; Theatre, /; Art Gallery, /; Wash
Houses, 10.
The town has 81 two story business build.
ings, several Of which are finished as well
as any frame structures In Montana. In pro-
cess Of construction are two-story frame
stores. one two-story brick store, two one
story brick stores and several frame resi-
dences.
The raifoad company have nearly com.
pleted fftsen-stall roundhouse, and me-
chanics are at work on the repair shops,
which, when completed, we are told will re-
quire mechanical force Of / 400 men. The
building win give standing room to that
many persons, but considering that part of
the room would be required for cars and
machinery, we took the story with grain of
allowance.

THE HisToR y OF THE NORTHERN Pa
CIffC RAILROAD
From the Inc ssption of tho Enterprise In
1884 20 the Completion Of tho
Road I'm 1888.

This work, by E., V. Smalley, ESQ.,, gives
an account Of engineering and construction
on the m ain line from st. Paul and Lake
Superior 10 J'uget Sound, and Its branches,
and des cripiion of the country tributary to
the road and known as the "Northern Pa
cifc Be- Lp stretching across Minnesota,
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, and
Washin, non. 1t also contains new and cor.
rect MAJ 8 and numerous handsome full page
engrayiI iss, from original paintings, sketches,
and pho tographs.
Mr.. S malley's book is designed as q unique
literary moEum 10 commemorate The hnal
success Sfwhat is probably the most remark
able IA ilway enterprise the world has known
the building of u road by single company
across | the American continent from the
great lakes and the valley Of the Upper Mis-
sissip tpi TO the Pacific Ocean. The history
of un Northern Pacific Company has many
elem ents of romantic interest which distin-
guisl ! il from most narratives of great bust-
ness undertakings. In the early stages Of
tho project enthusiastic men, in advance of
thsi age, spent their lives and fortunes in q
frii Raless advocacy of the scheme; later Oh 1t
| all icrbed the spare means of many thousands
OF people scattered through more than a
| s CT IRE of States. The financial crash of 1873
| so completely Frustrated the Company that
| its ,Iruin seemed absolute and irretrievable;
| b. Iit it recovered, again obtained confidence,
| a ad has at last justified all the sanguine pre-
| Lotions made in itself.
Mr.. Smalley treats The enterprise some
| what in the light of great national move
! nent to open a commercial highway TO the
| Pacific by the Northern route explored by
| Lewis and Clarke in the first decade Of the
century. He shows that the project of.a
! railroad to the mouth of the Columbia was
4 first discussed a few years after railroad
Il building began in the United States, and he
| follows the enterprise through all its check
( cred history down to its final triumph by the
| connection Of its tracks, advancing from the
. east and west 10 meet in the Rocky Mount
aims.
z In Part III Of the volume an account ofthe
r engineering difficulties surmoDutec aud Of
!, the general features Of construction work on
'' the whole line is given. Part III describes
y the entire region traversed by the road, Its
d forests, wheat fields, pasture lands, mineral
:. belts, its towns and cities, its lake and ocean
harbors, its climate, scenery etc.
,. 1t is believed that this book will interest
|. many classes of readers, especially residents
It of the country along the Northern Pacific
Il line, and those who contemplate emigrating
there, and the holders OF the Company's
stocks and bonds, and in a general way all
!, who wish to be Informed concerning the de
e velopment of the most interesting and
promising portion of the Far West. The
, book will be ready September 18th, and for
u sale by G. p. Putnam's Sous, New York.

FROM ANACONDA.
The Old Man Tells What IL Means.
Correspondence Nctc North. Vest.

Correspondence NtU -NoF"-b en-.
ANACONDA, Aug. 2l.-Few people who
have made the mountains their home in the
past have witnessed so sudden trarsforma-
ton of the prairie TO thriving, busy city,
"a has been the case with Anaconda. Less
than three months ago dilapidated pole
fence was the only sign of improvement that
appeared upon the surface of n long stretch
of nearly level prairie for miles up and down
Warm Spring valley. To-day over one hun
bred store houses of no mean dimensions Oh
struct the view of the traveller from the
Gable road, and the few openings from the
front are rs fast being filed ~ lumber is OBJ
tainable. The constant rattle of the carpen-
ter's saw and hammer, from daylight till
dark, means something; the three brick
yards, pushed TO their utmost capacity, the
hurrying lumber and brick teams in all direc-
tons, mean something; enlarging the foun-
dation and capacity Of the company's works
fifty per cent. means something. 1t means
faith In the permanency of the enterprise :;
it means that the projectors are becoming
fully satisfied with the location and surronn-
dings proSpectivey, and no one who has
made himself familiar with the mineral
prospects of Montana will attempt to dispute
the fact that the location is central. The en-
terprise is not projected TO reduce the COM
pany's ores alone. 1t il intended for the
reduction of ores from all parts of the coun.
try, nor will it be confined to any one class
of ores. With ample railroad facilities and
connections, with water power and all other
natural advantages contributing, why should
Anaconda not be, as intended, the great man.
ufacturing center of the mining industry in
the United States?
No time for the advent of branch roads to
the new town has yet been set, but am cred
IDLY informed that unless the two companies
adjust their little differences before the first
of September, the Anaconda company will
construct their own from here to their copper
mines at Butte, a survey for which has al
ready been completed. A continuation of
this line is practicable b. Silver Lake pass
to Philipsburg, connecting at New Chicago
Time and money work wonders, and no
sane man will doubt that brains, as we'll as
money, are behind this enterprise.

THE LEWIS-CLARK TRAGEDY.
Eva's Mother Thinks 1t Was IL Suicide.

Chicago Special to Minnesota Tribune.
A telegram was received from Dillon,
Mont, stating that young girl named Eva
Clark, whose home was in Chicago, had been
killed, and that Chas. A. Lewis was in custo-
dy on suspicion of having murdered her.
The mother of the girl, Mrs. r. q. CLARK,
lives ut 406 Madison street. She says that
last May, Eva, who is gifted young girl
10 years of age, went with Lewis TO travel as
his assistant on a lecturing trip. The enter
tainment included lectures on physiology,
mesmerism and sleight-of- hand tricks. The
mother received letters frequently both from
Lewis and her daughter, and had reason to
believe she was being well treated. She
refuses to believe Lewis Is guilty, and thinks
her daughter has committed suicide. The
only thing that could have induced the girl
to take her own life was brooding over the
brutal treatment received from her father last
fall. Her father is James S. Bird, Of Pent-
water, Mich, but he has not lived with Evas
mother for 10 years.

Rozenan Courier. 1un 1G

Monday last, A B. Hicks, of Missouri, was
in the Courier Office, and in conversation
protested his belief in the innocence of
Lewis, and stated his conviction that Eva
had killed herself When Questioned, he
stated that he bad been engaged in fitting mp
a hall in which Lewis was to give an enter
tainnent. and that while at work he heard
Lewis several times command the girl to lay
down gun she had in her hands. He told
her IL was loaded and that she was liable to
injury. As there are no witnesses to the
crime or accident, the defense can have no
stronger point in favor of their client than
the foregoing.

A Civil RI1hts DAcistop

WASHINGTON, d. c., August IS, 1885,
Decision was rendered by Judge Mills In the
police court in the civil rights case of the
Rev. George II. Smith, (colored) Norwich,
Conn.,, against James N. Bell, proprietor of
restaurant. The ground of complaint was
that Bell denied accommodations in his res
taurant to plaintiff on account of the latter's
color, and suit was brought to enforce the
criminal provisions Of the act of March LIST,
1875. The court holds that under the com.
mon law, an innkeeper Is bound to take in
and receive all travellers and wayfarers;
and that by the act of March LIST, 1875, 1t is
made misdemeanor to discriminate against
travellers on account Of race or color, regard
less Of any previous condition of servituds.
The restaurant keeper has q right to estab-
lish certain regulations as to hours for meals,
and designate certain places for seats for
customers; but such hours and seats must
be for sale by all, and II any discrimination
is made 1t must be made upon some princi-
pie, or for some reason that the law recogni-
yes as jus. and reasonable, and not on
account of color, race or previous condition
of servitude. All the guests of the inn or
restaurant must be given equal privileges,
and the place designated for them must be
accessible to all respectable persons at
uniform rate of charge. From these princi-
Piles Il follows that defendant In discrimina-
ting against the complainant, Smith, on
account Of his race and color, was guilty of
q misdemeanor, and incurred the penalty of
the second section Of the Civil Rights act Of
1875. Judgment is entered accordingly.
This case is, In some respects, novel one,
since 1t is the first attempt to enforce the
penalty under the second section Of the Civil
Rights act, which makes the violation of the
law mis- demeanor; and II is the first effort
to enforce the criminal provision of the law
in territory where the Congress Of the United
States has exclusive and absolute legislative
Jurisdiction.
