BULLION TRAIN.
One Million Pounds of Bullion to Leave
Helena by Special Train on the
Fourth of July.
Independent, 1911.

HfNNP"'eS'''t
One of the notable events of the coming
Fourth of July will be the departure from
Helena of special train by the Northern
Pacific, freighted with 100000 pounds of
Gregory and Wickes bullion, to Newark, n.
j., arrangements to this effect having been
contaminated. Mr. Hauser received the fol-
lowing dispatch yesterday from President
Willard, in response to one from himself in
relation to the subject:
NEW YORK, June Is, 1888
s. T. Hauser, Helena, Montana:
Telegram received. ! will with pleasure
arrange for your having a special train for
transportation of one million pounds of
bullion on the Fourth of July.
Fl. WILLARD.
The train will go through direct without
breaking bulk, and it will be composed of
fifty cars. The greater portion of this bullion
is now stacked up at the depot, and it will all
be in readiness and loaded in cars for the
time set for starting the train on the Fourth
of July.
One million pounds of bullion shipped
from Helena at one time (which fact will, OF
course, be heralded by telegraph throughout
the whole country will be an excellent adj
vertisement for Helena's mines, and especi-
ally those which produced this bullion Tits
| expected that the Gregory alone will produce
| q similar amount monthly rs soon as contem
plated improvements are made. The Wickes
works, which will soon start up again with
increased capacity for the treatment of ores!
will yield fully as much, and when the mines
] of Ten Mile, Red Mountain, and other neigh
boring districts are opened up, the Northern
Pacific will find that the carrying trade il
Helena bullion alone will be big item.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The Tribune's Wash
ingson special says: The fact thai Michaei
Sheahan, one of the Guiteau jurors, has gone
insane has suggested to one Of the Washing
ton papers that Guiteau's prophecy that evil
would befail all those connected with his
conviction, is coming true. Sheahan's reia-
tives state that the frequent maledictions oil
Guiteau, during bis trial, upon all who shouia
fird him guilty have haunted Sheahan lot
months and have lately kept him awake oil
nights. A local writer suggests the follow
ing incidents which have occurred In the
way of the fulillment of Guiteau's curse :
The death of District Attorney Corkhilps
wife was the first event which could be called
a fulfillment of the Guiteau prophecy; Juror
Hobbs wife died, Surgeon-General Barnes,
an importans witness, died; Judge Porters
health is said to be wrecked; Marshal Henry,
Bailifr Stahl, Detective McElrich, Jail-wagon
Guard Perry Carson and the driver Of the
jail wagon, James Leonard, were dismissed

SLAUGHTER OF THE INNoCENTs.
A Terrible Diiaster in which 17s Children
are Killed.

LONDON, June 18.-,A terrible calamity,
involving the death of 17s children, occur
red in Sunderland, County Durham, this
evening. From details received 1t appears
an entertainment was given in Victoria
Hall by conjuror, attended almost
altogether by children, several thousand be-
ing In attendance. The accident occurred
at the close of the performances, the body
of the hall being entirely cleared Of occti-
pants. when some 1900 of the little ones
came rushing down from gallery. At the
top Of the first flight Of stairs was door
which opened only twenty inches, and thus
but one child at time could get through.
At this point, while the mass Of children
were pushing forward one of them fell and
was unable to rise owing TO the others
crowding. The result was, q great number
were pushed down trAmpled on and sufio-
Gated. The scene was terrific. No effort
could stop the mad rush Of affrighted chill
dren. They came on pell NELL, though
strangely without much shouting, and soon
l7s were knocked down and sufiocated tc
death by others trampling on them. The
greater number of bodies were badly man
gled from trampling, being seven or eigh
deep. Many victims mot killed had theil
clothing torn from their bodies, and this
together with the bleeding bodies Of th'
unfortunates, showed the terrible nature
the struggle. The ages of the l7s children
known to have been killed, ranged from
TO 14yeas.
SUNDERLAND, June l3.-The excitemen
over the catastrophe In Victoria Hall Satui
day night continues intense. Some Of th
children who escaped say that q report wa
spread through the gallery at the close ofth
performance, that the first child out Of th
hall would get pnze, and consequent
there was an eager rush for the door. Mo-
OF the bodies Of the children were buried u
gether In long trench.

BOHEMIAN, Montana, June 16, 1882


Hon. Benz. II, Bre'cster, Attorney General;
SIR have the honor To acknowledge the
receipt of your favor of the sth inst. Some
Of the pests of the fence surrounding the Q.
s. Penitentiary at Deer Lodge have rotted
below the ground and 1t is desirable to re-
place them. believe that it would also be
well to stone mp rear window which has
been the objective point of sthree recent at
tempts a. escape. The sum of $500 might
perhaps be sufficient for these or possibly
other purposes. But the condition of the
Penitentiary has long since ceased to be a
question of repairs. With proper and secure
accommodations for twenty prisoners,
we have eighty-five and will soon have N
least ninety. The erection of the main build
ing and the other wing, in accordance will
the original plans on file in your Office, is rht
only adequate measure of relief.
Very respectfully,
ALEX. C. BoTKIs, U. s. Marshal.
