Teiler's Indignant Denial,

WAsHINaToN, April 1l.-Secretary
Teller Indignantly denies the truth Of
the paragraph which appeared in a
Philadelphia paper this morning to
the effect that ex-senator Conkiing
has been trading upon his influence
at the Interior Department. The
story was that Conkling had for a
consideration of 5000 used his per-
sonal influence to secure the Secreta-
rvs signature to an important paper
which would not otherwise have been
signed. "Of all the silly stories that
get into the newspapers" said Teller
to-day, "this is the most foolish. You
fellows usually have something to
start with, and then enlarge upon it
to the extent Of your fancy. In this,
however, there is not even a ground
work. There has been no such case
before me. I have never been asked
by Conkling to sign anything and
nave never signed anything for Gonk-
ling. 1t is simply cold falsehood
from beginning to end. 1t is not
worth while to deny it for it presup-
poses Conkling an unmitigated ras-
cal and me no better"

A Terrible Experience at Sea.

HALIFAX, N. S. April 1O.-The
steamer Noting Hill from New York
April 1st, for London, put in here af-
ter terrible experience at sea. On
Tuesday evening after sailing a gale
began which ragged throughout the
night, becoming cyclone on We'd
nesday morning, when the ship was
thrown on her beam ends. The two
days following the hurricane pre-
vailed, her mizzen boom was torn
away and dashed against the sky
light of the engine room, through
which the boom and glass fell severe
ly iniuring three engineers. All the
doors of the deck houses were burst
ed, and the rooms Quilted, the galley
wrecked and a great part Of the
ships provisions CARRIED awav.
Thlrty-three feet of her solid steel
bulwarks were swept into the a,and
~ feet more was damaged. Her
stancheuns1 were torn from their
fastenings rs if they were scaffold-
ing, and the multitudinous seas
drowned the fires, threatening to
overwhelm the ship. For 48 hours
she lay on her beam ends, the pumps
were choked and the men kept bail
ing; but they were only able to keep
the water from gaining. The live stock
in the hold were swimming about all
the time having no fodder. FOn ri
day morning the men went i'll body
to Captain Bunnel and demanded to
be taken into port, or have the ship
The demand was inn
possible, the water in the engine
room prevented fires being lighted,
and only two boats were left. On
Friday night the weather moderated,
and On Saturday the Storm subsided.
The ship being light the water was
quickly reduced. Steam raised, and as
soon as the ship got under way. she
rjghted. Thirty-four bullocks and 6 |
sheep were lost OF the 134 head Of
cattle and 1893 sheep OH board. About !
100 tons Of cargo was washed over
board.

TEXAS.

The Helena Herald takes excep
tions to the conclusions of the MINEH
in its recent article on the condition
of Texas. While our Capital cotem.
porary admits the State is reliably
Democratic-"about the same az
Georgia." it intimates that her finan.
cial condition may have been better
under Republican supremacy. The
Herald's conclusions are not sus.
tanned by the history of its party. 1t
is not necessary for the purposes OF
this article to recount that history
and hold up the long list of pecula-
tions and defraudings in which its
representative leaders have engaged
during the past twenty years. 1t is
too we'll known to require rehear-
sal here. There is one thing we do
know and that is under Democratic
supremacy Texas presents a better
financial showing than any other
State in the Union. And there is
another thing we do not know and
that is, that it would present a fairer
balance sheet had it been under con-
tinuous Republican rule. That the
Democrats of that State have con-
Quoted its affairs economically and
honestly cannot be disproved and
that is one Of the points the MINER
made in its article and the Herald
cannot controvert it. The other
point that the State owes its present
dattering financial condition to that
economy and honesty in the manage
ment Of its affairs is not nor cannot
be refuted by our cotelnporary. The
honlely old adage applies in this
case, "the proof of the pudding is
in the eating of it," We accept the
Herald's explanation, that there was
one Davis foisted upon the people of
Texas as their Governor at the point
of Federal bayonets.

CONTAGIOUS Diseases.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Recent
dispatches convey the impression
that commissioner Loring of the
Agricultural Department had set up
his opposition to the watch law, pro-
viding against the spread of pleuro-
pneumonia and kindred diseases of
cattle. The commissioner, from the
time of the inception of the law, was
q most earnest, enthusiastic advocate
and supporter of it. and was desirous
that means might be provided where
by diseases in cattle might be exam
ined into and their spread prevented.
The commissioner has already estab-
lished farm at Benning's Station,
located botween this city and Balti-
more, which has heeh provided with
the necessary equipment and accom-
n1o;is'ons l.: make a first class cattle
hospital. There the disease will
undergo examination and inquiry
which be is confident will result in
great good to the country.

HELENA'S HOMICIDE.
Alive at Breakfast Time and
Buried Before Dinner.
Fatal End OF a Convivial Round
Up.

The Independent of the 10th inst.
gives the following additional partic-
ulars of Helena's latest homicide:
VIM. Brooke (colored) generally
knownsas "Tex." was. shot dead
early yesterday morning on Postoffice
corner by Patrick Lamb. Lamb, it
appears, has been working out at
Wlckes, and came to Helena Sunday
night in company with his brother
and Swede. They reached Helena
at about midnight. Lambs. brother
and the Swede took drink at the
Cosmopolitan, but Lamb, being a
temperate man, did not drink. the
three men then went out on the
street and visited several saloons.
Lamb drank nothing, but his brother
and the Swede got pretty full.
At about 4 o'clock "Tex." Joined
the party at Wagner's saloon, Just
below Edwards street. He made
himself very free with Lambs drunk
ell brother, and as Lamb suspected
him of desire to rob the drunken
man (who had a watch and some
money! he tried to get his brother to
60 to bed, but could do nothing with
him. He got his watch away from
him finally, however, and gave it to
the barkeeper to keep until morning,
when the men intended to 60 to
Marysville to look for work.
The three men finally started up
street again, and when about half
way to the postoffice were overtaken
by "Tex." The negro seemed deter
mined to take charge of Lambs
brother, and the party
passed on up the street. Here Laub
objected to the bar-keeper giving his
brother anything to drink, saying
that he already had too much.
Finally they went up stairs ani out
upon the street and started down to-
ward the postoffice. At the post Of
flee corner Lambs brother turned sud-
denly around the corner and at that
moment ''Tex." and two other men
passed Lamb and his companion.
Tex" rushed up to the drunken
man and knocked him down. Lamb
called out: Don't kill him." and
started toward the fallen man. "Tex"
told Lamb to shut up or he would
give him some of the same. Lamb
drew his pistol. ''Tex." advanced
toward him threateningly, and when
within two or three steps Lamb
raised his pistol and fired. "Tex."
Fell, shot through the brain, and ex-
oired instantly.
Officers Bashaw and Gibbs CAME
.cross the street and arrested Lamb,
who laid down his pistol and gave
limseif up without protest.
The body of '"Tex." was placed in
rough coffin and buried at about II
,'clock.

Trial of Brady-Opening Speech
of Porter.

DUBLIN, April II Porter ap-
peared in the trial to-day, and in his
speech described the crime as an un-
paralleled atrocity; a crime that had
shocked the whole civilized world.
He recounted with vivid imagery the
we'll known details Of the affair, and
paid a warm tribute to the character
and life of Burke and Cavend1sh.
He gave particulars Of the organiza-
tion of the Invincibles, who he said
doubtless looked upon themselves as
an invincible band. But the law is
stronger than all those connected
with the plot. He looked upon them
as guilty in the eyes of God as was
Brady. He declared the object of
the conspiracy was to remove all
whom they regarded as tyrants,
probably with, the ultimate purpose
of forming a republic, of which the
four original leaders of the murder
GUS gang g-Mullet, McCafrey, Curley
and Carey-would be the leading
spirits. He referred to Sheridan's
share in the crime, and his under
taking to provide arms when there
should be a call for them. Brady
and men Of his class were among
those always prepared for murder,
but they were without doubt entirely
Indifferent as to the ultimate objects
of that murder. Brady was at hand
when the various ambushes were
laid for Forster.
Counsel for the defense interpcsed
an earnest protest against the crown
counsel helnr suffered nv the c0urt
to prejudice the jury against the
prisoner Brady, making assertions
like these, which could not be proved.
The Judge refused to interfere with
Porter.

The N. P. Contract.

NEW York, April 11.-Thomas f.
Oakes, vice-president of the Northern
Pacific Railway, denies the truth of
the rumor that arrangements to lease
the Northern Pacific to the Wiscon-
sin Central railroad has been made.
The only business transaction thai
has lately taken place between them
is traffic contract, the same as exists
between all other roads. Contract is
on mileage rate or on the pro rata
system.

The Irish Trial.

DUBLIN, April 1.-THE Judge re-
fused to interfere with Porter, who,
in concluding his speech, declared
that if Cary was put on the witness
stand there was no absolute rules OF
law which would prevent the court
from accepting his evidence unac-
conpanied by any other testimony.
but there certainly could be no valid
objection when, as would happen in
the present case, there would be pro-
duced conclusive and corroborative
evidence to fortify the Careys. This
case should teach one lesson, that
there could be no secret among the
members of such a society. The men
who had instigated it would pay for
it in life. The men who had raised
the funds which encourage it to carry
on their designs had fled to foreign
lands. If there was any further
proof required Of how conspirators
deserted these men unIawfully
ieagued with them, it was furnished
by the fact that the Crown had even
in this case been compelled to pro-
vide means for defending Brady from
this terrible charge.
During the examination of Farrell
counsel for prisoners again protested
against the introduction of matters
foreign to the present charge relating
only to attempts made against the
life OF Forster.
Judge O'Brien said only such evil
dence was admissible in the present
case as tended to connect the prisoner
with conspiracy.
Farrel's evidence went to show
that Brady was associated with
member of the Irish Invincibles who
was secretary. AS to Curley, the
Irish National League treasurer, he
acknowledged the receipt from Aus
tralia of $4,000. The secretary read
a letter from Redmond, agitating the
question of Irish wrong in Australia,
and says the developments of the
Phoenix Park murderers are doing
the League much injury and materi-
ally interfere with his success.
DUBLIN, April 11.--Carey was in
the witness stand an hour and three
quarters. He gave detailed account
of the formation of the "Inyincibles,"
but was not allowed to go into the
plots against the lives of Forster and
Earl Cowper. While Carey was tes-
tifying Brady followed the evidence
closely and frequently sent notes to
his solicitor. Carey became + erfectly
cool in demeanor towards the close
of the evidence. One Of the knives
found in the Ringled basin was pro-
duced that Carey might identify it
as one supplied by Sheridan from
London. Murphy, the Crown coun-
sci, stated authoratively he knew
who "Number One" is and expected
the photograph of this mysterious
person produced.
