Mails ON the Northern Pacific.

For some time we have called attention to
the gross mis-handling Of mails on the Nor
thern Pacific, between Helena and Missoula
"A line of road where each week we were
advised of the outrageously bad service. IL
was an unusual thing for the NEW NORTH
VESTS delivered Mt Garrison on Friday to
reach posto ffiees within fifteen TO fifty miles
Of there in less than three TO five days after.
Finally, at the suggestion Of Postmaster
Stackpole, we put up the NEW NoRTH-WEsT
in separate sacks for each diverging route
from the n. p. road in this county; then had
the mail agent on the u. & n. railroad take
them separate from all other mail and hand
them 10 the n. p. mail agent in his car rs
ono. !" mail, with request 20 "work" at
once. This he declined to do because the
sacks were tagged" to the railroad station
instead of the nearest postoffice. The next
week the same course was pursued, except
that the nearest postoffice was tagged instead
of the station, ard then the papers did not
reach Pioneer until Sunday. We learn Of
letters being a week in transit from Offices In
this county on the line of the Northern Pa
ciac TO Deer Lodge. II Is also stated that
local offices adjacent 20 the road receiv Q an
imme nse proportion of mail destined for
other places. The service IL in worse condi-
ton generally for delay and uncertainty than
we have ever known 1t in the country now
trayersed by the n, =. railroad, and IL is time
Agent Mcdowell or some one else should
shake things up

ROBBING THE MAIL.
j. ID. Nicholas, Railway Postal Clerk Charg.
ed with Theft.
Helena Herald.

Heteu fIcT"u.
John ID. Nicholas, a railway postal clerk
on the Northern Pacific between Helena and
Miles City was arrested yesterday on his run
west, by United States Posoffice Inspectors,
Thomas r. Zimmerman and w. A Robinson,
and brought TO Helena and lodged in the
Lewis and Clarke county Jail. To-day at Il
o'clock NJ. Nicholas appeared for preliminary
examination before United States Commits
sioner I. r. Alden. w. c. Dewitt, United
States District Attorney, read the complaint
Of Inspector Bannerman, in which Nicholas
Is charged with abstracting or purloining q
registered money package passing through
the mails, destined for Custer City. The
prisoner plead not guilty and waived an ex-
animation. Judge Alden fixed his bonds in
the sum of 81 900 to appear before the next
grand jury of the first judicial district at
Bozeman-in default of which the prisoner
was remanded TO Jail.

Public Road Row.

Through an apparent misunderstanding
some of our upper valley citizens this week
got into complication concerning q wagon
road running from Stuart westward toward
Anaconda. At the September session Of
County Commissioners in 1882, on petition
three viewers were appointed for the road.
At the November term, 1882, Messrs. w. A..
Henseley, A. Smith and VIM. Wier, viewers,
reported favorably, and on November 10 the
Commissioners declared said road public
highway. II appears, however. that no COM
pensation was received by the owners for the
lands taken for the new road, and they re-
fused to open and fence the same. This week
Mr.. Charles s. Warren made complaint
against BENZ. Phillips, Boulis Parrott, B. +.
Notes.-The and Godfrey Romong, the owners
OF the land, for obstructing the public high
way. They were brought to town wednes-
day and, we understand, in some way con-
prnsu;sed the matter with Mr.. Warren.

Change of Time.

The Utah & Northern trains began run
ming yesterday on the new schedule, sub
stantially as stated last week and as per the
time tables published in this issue. The
Northern Pacific schedule is also given, SO
that travellers can readily understand the
connections. The u. & N. runs still another
train-the ccommodation-daily between
Butte and Garrison. We do not give its
schedule because It Is stated its time will soon
be changed. This makes three trains day
each way on this division Of the o. & N,
and close connection is made with all North
ern Pacific trains.
1t is little inconvenient a. regards south
bound mails, but aside from that 1t Is first
rate. We now get eastern and southern
mails early in the morning, but mails from
Helena and Missoula do not arrive until
evening.

THE HOLLAND DRAMATIC COMPANY
To Appear In Deer Lodge This Week.

The Holland Dramatic Company, which
played a very successful season ut the Bush
Street Theatre, San Francisco, during the
Triennial Conclave this season, and who
come here with the highest Recommendations
of those who witnessed their performances
in that city and at other places ON the PACING
coast, arrived yesterday from the West and
appeared at O'Neill's Theatre last evening In
that very popular comedy, Our Americdn
Cousin. Tonight viii be presented FINK
Dominoes, and tomorrow night An Unequa'
Match, each of them standard and attractive
plays. The hour Of going to press and tnat
Of the play being identical, we are debarred
mentioning the performance here.
We can say, however, that the Company
comes commended as the best throughout
that Mr.. Mcguire has yet brought to Mon
tana. Mr.. Holland Is An actor Of tirst-class
merit, having been recognized as the legiti-
mate successor to the lamented Sothern in
the great character of Lord Dundreary. In
this connection 1t may be stated that Mr..
Holland was playing Btrney the Butler in this
same piece with Laura Keene's Company, in
Fords Theatre, Washington, when Booth
assassinated President Lincoln. Another
incident connects George Holland with we II
remembered history. 1t was when his father,
George Holland, ST.. died in New York, that
Sothern and committee went to see Bishop
Purcell to solicit that the burial services OF
Holland might be from his church, that they
received the abrupt reply that he chad no
time to-day to bury actors, but there was
little church around the corner would attend to
it." That church was DIR. Houghtons. The
world heard the story and Hthe little church
around the corner was taken to its heart.
We hope the Company will be supported
here as its merits deserve, but the town has
been worked" terrifically with theatrical
and show companies generally in the last few
months, and good season of three nights oy
the Holland Company will depend on their
giving extraordinarily good entertainments.

MuIIan Tunnel Mortality Report
Helena Independent.

During the time about two years. that the
Mullan tunnel was being constructed, al
though several thousands of men were en-
ployed, all told, there were only three deaths.
One man died from injuries received by the
premature discharge of blast in shaft in
1882 The second was instantly killed by a
cave in the tunnel, December "a, 1882. The
third died from pneumonia. Considering
the magnitude of the work and the large
number of men employed, the small number
of deaths is almost miraculous.
There were one hundred and sixty-three
men injured In the tunnel and treated in the
Sisters Hospital, Helena, by their surgeon,
Dr. Morris, during the tive years consumed
in the tunnels construction.
