Railroad Racket.

The Northern Pacific construction
train from the east now runs to Ham.

The Canadian Pacific railroad is
now open to Maple Greek, and trains
are leaving Winnipeg daily.
The track of the Northern Pacific
has reached Gal.atin City. In a lit
tie more than a month it will be at
Townsend.
The Marent Gulch trestle on the
Northern Pacific is progressing rap
idly. Men r now working on the
sixth tier-l50 feet above the ground.
W. are positively assured that the
five great railroad companies which
have termini here will soon COM
mence work upon q fine large union
depot, and we shall believe it when
we e them commence the work.
Ogden Pilot.
The average time made between
Ogden and Winnemucca, by the
special train carrying Henry Willard,
was q fraction over fOrty-six miles an
hour. The distance is $40 miles and
the run was made in ten hours and
three.quarters.
F. r. Mcconnell, the general agent
of the Union Pacific railroad, in a
recent letter, states that the Union
Pacific railroad is just as liberal as
the Northern Pacific in its rates for
immigrants and baggage, these being
good from Omaha, Council Bluffs,
st. Joe and Kansas City to Dillon,
Butte or Deer Lodge. Their rates
are now 81 per 100 pounds or $3.50 per

Starting Up the Bell.

The Bell smelter will be steamed
up to-day and the machinery tested.
If everything is found to work well,
the smelter will be started up to-
morrow morning on the ore already
OH the dump. The ore on hand is
sufficient for sixty days run, by
which time it is expected connection
will be made between the new shaft
and the old workings at the mine,
which will furnish a regular ore sup
ply for the future. When the smell
ter starts up to-day the fact will be
nnounced by the blowing of the
whistle at the Bell smelter, and other
works will join in the chorus. The
event is a notable one and the shrill
shrieking of a hundred steam whis-
ties this afternoon, will be melodi-
Gus sound to the ears of the entire
community.

Fashionable Dry Goods.

During his recent trip to the East
ID. Barnett purchased one of the
largest stocks of fashionable dry
goods, of latest Eastern styles, which
has ever been brought to this city.
MI. Barnett having personally select
ed these goods in the Eastern market
is sufficient guarantee of their style
and quality. A full line of silks,
satins, dress goods in endless variety
of pattern and shade, and spring
sacks and dolmans of the latest goods
and style are now displayed at the
handsome Main street store, and Mr..
Reak, the accommodating salesman,
and assistants are always more than
willing to show them. Regardingt
prices, Mr. Barnett assures us tina
he has bought close, and don't pro-
pose to be undersold.

Associate Justice Conger.

For several days past rumors have
been current to the effect that Judge
Conger had been reinstated. Al
though these rumors have not been
fully confirmed, the following dis
patch published in the Miles City
Press seems to indicate that the re-
movai will not be sustained without
affording the gentleman ample OPP
portunity to vindicate himself.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The Pres
ident has decided to suspend action
In the case Of Judge Conger, Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court of
the Territory of Montana, until the
charges preferred against him shall
have been fully investigated. Judge
Conger is a brother of Senator Con-
ger, and the Presidents action is a
result of his i~ntercession.

Slightly Mixed.

Wright succeeded in beating
Schultz's time last night at the Pa.
vilion, on a bet of $50, and did sc
with comparative ease. The best
time previously made was 4:51, but
Wright covered the distance in 4:274,
greatly to the surprise of all the spec.
tators, who considered that young
Schultz would have no trouble in
holding the championship medal.
Wright, however, made only 20 laps,
while Schultz made % lap .-Inter
Mountain, 18th.
The above item is about as correct
in it's statements as the evening an
manias usually gets anything, but as
it does injustice to a very plucky
little fellow, who has honestly earned
his skating record, we correct some
of the discrepancies which it con-
tains:
First-Wright didn't succeed in
beating Schultz's time" Had he
skated the full % laps, at the same
rate of speed, he would have been
just 81 seconds behind Schultz's rec
ord of 4::51. .
Second-Wright was not skating
against Schultz's time at all, but
against his own previous record.
Third-''The best time previously
made was 4:51," for % laps, and
Wright did not ''cover the distance
in 4:274, greatly to the surprise" &C.,
as Wright only skated 20 laps.
Fourth-Nobody thought Schultz
would or would not have trouble in
holding the championship medal, as
it became his personal property by
virtue of his second victory last
Saturday night, and there could be
40 question about his holding it.
Fifth-After saying Wright beat
Schultz's time, and Wright covered
Schultz's distance, the item makes
confusion worse COMPOUNDED by con-
tradicting all its preceding state
ments, thus: Wright, however,
made only 20 laps, while Schultz
made % laps"

Special Correspondence of the MINER.
HELENA, M. T., April 10.
Editor MINER:
A communication appeared in Sat
urday's Inter Mountain treating OF
the hanging of two men at midnight
on the Greenhorn. In that commune
cation the erudite gentleman as
sumes to point out the proper course
for the coroner of Lewis and Clarke
county to pursue. He says, 1.-THE
first question to be solved is whether
or not the victims set fire to McNal-
ly's barn." What relation that may
have to the case does not appear,
or what justification the discovery
that these men were guilty of incen-
diarism would be for a double MUIR
der, is not made patent in the epistle
referred to-. Further, if rumor is
correct, it would be we'll for the Dis
trict Attorney to inquire of the sew
eral newspaper men of Helena, if
they had received any request, word
of caution, or intimation, that excit-
ing articles published about the af-
fair would he 'distasteful to the
public?" Has the law any force?
or has its dignity sunk into
%obscurity, and the courts, the bench,
and the majesty with which our tore
fathers clothed it, passed away for
ever. Each man who feels agrieved
at his neighbors' conduct, has then a
right to secretly murder him, for two
important reasons; one to crafty
personal desire for revenge, and the
other to provide against any failure
on the part of the court to prove
guilt. This theory of social ethics
has some very important advantages.
1t effectually does away with the
cumbersome and often slow methods
of the law, and is founded upon the
well known principle that "dead men
tell no t~ales,' nor can dead men
prove their innocence of the charges
upon which their souls have been
hurled into eternity.
If this secret midnight band of as
sassins are to usurp the functions of
the highest law of the land; if
theirs is the true principal Of govern
ment. why not come to the front and
avow that as the principle by which
we propose to be governed? Why is

were convicted sentenced and exc
cuted, not made public; that the
people may share the confidence of
the star chamber court in their meth
DDS of secret trial and execution. If
any man or set of men are to take
the law in their own hands
and mete out the punishment
due to the worst of criminals
under the law, without a trial; with.
out a hearing or an opportunity
for defense, then are we degenerat-
ing so fast that I fear but few immi-
grants will care to risk life, family
and property in our midst.
If, as asserted, the press of Helena
and Butte received a request that the
barbarous transaction in Greenhorn
Gulch should not. be commented
upon; who is running this country?
And is law ofeny benefit to settlers
in Montana? Let us hear from the
chivalrous gentlemen who are said to
have got drunk and hung these men.

The Great Race.

A large audience assembled at the
Pavilion yesterday afternoon to wit
ness the great three hour go-as-you-
please skating race, for which three
prizes were given by the manage
ment as follows: First prize, 500;
second, $50; third, $50, or saving the
entry fee. Six contestants were
entered-Ehrick, Schultz, Hettinger,
Wright, Gill and Cradle; all of whom
started in the order named, at 16
minutes past 4 o'clock. The race
was intensely exciting, and each of
the contestants started with a deter
mination to win. Pools were sold
during the race, and Wright, Schultz
and Cradle were favorites in turn.
Hettinger broke down and left the
floor after skating II miles. Ehrick
gave out at IA miles, and Gill scored
Is miles and IS laps before throwing
up the sponge. Wright, who is a
man grown, and the plucky boys,
Schultz, Is years of age, and Cradle,
in his 18th year, continued the strug-
gle to the end. At exactly 16 min
utes past seven time was called and
the race ended. Wright won the
first prize of 500, making 80 miles
and II laps. Schultz carried off the
second prize of $50, scoring % miles
and IS laps. Cradle was awarded
the third prize, saving his entry fee
Of $50. The race created considerable
excitement, which at times be-
came intense. The valiant
little contestants, Schultz and
Cradle were evidently favorites with
the spectators, and it was claimed
that Schultz would have won the
first prize had not some of the full
grown contestants jockeyed by get
ing in front of him several times
when he was about to pass them on
the floor. None of the skaters
are sufficiently. professional to
be charged with intentional
jockeying, but Schultz undoubtedly
lost considerable time in the manner
and also by being thrown
down once in collision with another
in which he was tread
upon and severely bruised. The lit
tie fellow showed his pluck by
coming in second, only Is
laps behind the winner, notwith-
standing the mishap.
At the close of the race several
gentlemen offered to bet various sums
on Wright against all corners, and
were rather loud in their calls for
when Schultz's mother rose
in her seat and quietly offered to bet
IS, 900 on Schultz against Wright in a
three hour go-as-you-please, and to
put $500 forfeit on the spot. 1t was a
on the ardent spirits of the
sports who were a moment before so
anxious to bet, and. no takers pre-
themselves, MOI were any
:urther offers heard.
