Yankees and Sweedes,

CONCORD, n. H., July 1.-The Swe-
dish and Norwegian ministers have
called the attention of the Secretary
of State of the United States to the
arrest and Imprisonment of Swedish
immigrants by manufacturing corpo-
rations at Suncook. 1t appears that
these companies have been importing
help from the above. .named countries
and claim is made by the corpora
tions that the help imported owe the
companies their passage money,
which the operatives deny. From an
investigation now making it also ap-
pears that some of the arrested par
ties have sent a petition to the Swed-
ish minister setting forth that
far away from home, in new cOun-
try, whose language they cannot
speak, and whose laws they do not
understand on charges unknown to
them, they have been arrested and
imprisoned, and asking that
they be released and allowed
damages for false incarceration. The
arrestlng officer says, however, that
in every case an interpreter has been
furnished and the accused told that
the charges were for debt. and the
arrests were made in the belief that
they were about to flee the state. Of
the 165 Swedes which the Suncook
corporation received through the In
man steamship line, more than half
have gone away leaving the trades
people creditors to the amount of
thousands Of dollars.
tits stated that the corporations con-
tracted for reliable help, but many of
them were extremely unreliable,
there being quite number of insane
persons, idiots and Jail birds.

The Irrepressible Kearney.

CHICAGO, July 5.-A Times edito-
rial says: Perhaps the most original
of the anti-monopolists now assem-
bled in Chicago is Mr.. Dennis Kear-
ney, the great agltat0r of the Sand
Lots. He proposes to do 1t in way
that would hardly have occurred to
less active and original mind. He
proposes to compel railroads to charge
nigh freights and fares. Who but he
would have thought Of that way of
vanquishing railroad monopoly? But
he does not propose to stop just there.
Having compelled the roads to charge
high prices for transportation, he
would 60 step further and compel
them to pay high wages. His theory
is that the matter Of wages is largely
controlled by what great corporations
earn. If they are compelled to pay
high wages they must make liberal
profits. But who would have to pay
high prices for transportation? Not
the working man, the genius of the
Sand Lots assures us, but the middle
men, that is to say merchants and
dealeas. But what is to hinder them
from putting the extra cost of trans
portation on to the prices of their goods
and so taking it out Of their custom
ers, most of whom are workingmen
Mr.. Kearney does not shed any light
upon that question. Probably he
would solve the difficulty by simple
compulsion. If he can force railroad
companies to pay high wages, he can
as easily force merchants to sell at
low p1ices, and even sell at a floss
But Mr.. Kearney knows that a forced
plan will not work in either case. It
looks as though he was in the pay of
the railroad bosses Of the Pacific
slope.

DAY DISPATCHES.
10000 People in Procession
on the Fourth at Helena.
Casualties From Celebration
Toys.
MISCELLANEOUS. ElC., ETC.
The Capital Celebration

HELENA, Mont. July 4.-The cele-
bratiOn Of the 10th anniversary of
American Independence at Helena,
derived new direction and impulse
from the arrival here of the North
ern Pacific railroad. It must rank as
one of the greatest patriotic demon
strations of the country. The wealth
er was cool, the day splendid and the
impulse Of the people of the city and
country left nothing to be desired.
Fhe artillery and hundred bells an
ticipated the day and awoke the people
while it was yet twilight. The streets
were gay with thousands of banners.
Trans arrived bringing people from
the surrounding towns and country,
and before the procession started it
is estimated the city contained at
least 10000 rejoicing people. Having
marched through the city it wended
its slow way to the depot, where it
met the special train from Bozeman
laden with Eastern Montana people
and distinguished citizens from far
and near. Before its arrival cheers
rent the air. A battery of artillery
awOke the echoes, while shrieks from
twenty steam whistles and the clang
of bells added to the interest of the
OCCASION.
Here an episode occurred of very
great interest and significance. The
first freight train from Helena left
for the east drawn by two of the
great ten wheel engines OF the Nor
thern Pacific railroad. 1t consisted
of 36 cars of silver and gold bullion
worth Sl,2OO,OOO, which is to 20
through as express freight solid to
Newark, N. j. The cheers which
rent the air from the assembled
thousands, the shrill scream of the
great locomotives, and all the steam
whistles of the manufactures of the
city and the clang Of bells were
sights and sounds at once impressive
and memorable. Banners were
thrown everywhere across the streets
from the residences and places of |
business. Every coigne of vantage
that could float a banner flaunted the
national celors, while the horses and
dogs were patriotic emblems of re-
joicing.
The exercises on the grand stand
at the court house square were the
the usual ones with an exceptionally
meritorious oration by. y.Col. A. G. Bot
kin, whose welcome to the solitudes
and Businesses of these mountains
to the railroad was at once eloquent,
and touching. Nothing
has occurred to disturb the enjoy
ment of the day and Helena hence
forth assumes Intimate commercial
relations with the eastern world,
proud of her present and confident Of
ler future.

Small Pox-Scare In st. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July 5.-Considerable
alarm was caused to. day by the dis
covery of bad case of fsmail box in
the Bethel Home. The Levee lode.
ing house is crowded with rousta-
bouts and river hands. The man
had been in the building for several
days, and it is q very dangerous spot
for the Infection to propagate. Four
more cases were discovered in other
parts of the city, and all five were
sent to quarantine. Some weeks ago
the number of cases was considerably
reduced, and people thought the dan
ger was past, and the scare sub
sided. Now there are nearly a
hundred cases at: quarantine,
and it is reported a number are under
observation at private dwellings. The
disease is not declared epidemic in
any particular locality, but cases are
breaking out in spots all over the city.
Iu the last ten days fifty cases have
been sent to quarantine and a good
many houses are placarded. Most of
the cases are traceable to immigrants,
arrivals by river, and the proposition
of the Illinois state board OF health to
Bpply quarantine regulations to
strangers meets with much favor.

A Dogs Sense of Responsibility

One of my correspondents, Mr..
Laurie Gentles, sends me an account
of sheep-dog belonging to a friend
of his, Mr.. Mitchell. of Inverness
shire, which strayed to neighbor-
ing farm, and took up his residence
with the farmer. On the second
night after the dog arriv: d at the
farm the farmer took the dog down
to the meadow to see if the cattle
were all right. To his dismay he
found that the fence between his
meadow and his neighbours had got
broken down, and that the whole of
his neighbor's cattle had got mixed
up with his. By the help of the dog
the strange cattle were driven back
into their proper meadow, and the
fence put into temporary repair. The
next night, at the same hour, the
gentleman started off to look after
the cattle. The dog, however, was
not to be seen. On arriving at the
meadow, what was the gentleman's
astonishment to find that the dog
had preceded him! His astonish-
ment was soon changed into delight
ed appreciation when he found tho
dog sitting on the broken fence be-
tween the two meadows, and daring
the cattle fIom either side to cross.
The cattle had, during the interval
between the first and second visits,
broken down the fence, and had got
mixed up with each other. The dog
had quietly gone off On his own ac-
count to see if all was right. and find
ing q similar accident to the one of
the previous evening, had alone and
unaided driven back the strange cat
tie to their proper meadow, and had
mounted guard over the broken fence
as have already indicated. "a. f.

IF You Don't Intend to Visit but
One Circus and Menagarto
This Season, Take
Our Advice,

Along with your family, and witness
the Only Really Big Show that will
come to Butte July 80 and 3lst, this
year, which is the Old John Robin
sons Ten Big Gigantic New Shows
Combined for 1883, and you will see
confederation of marvels and mir
acles, and curiosities that has taken
f1fty-nine years of dilligent and faith
full services to accumulate. Talk
about the presumption of some shows
calling themselves the eldest show on
earth. John Robinson's Big Show is
now on its fifty-ninth annual tour,
and he will give thousand dollars to
any man who can como forward and
testify on oath, that there is single
Snowman on earth that can show a
record of nearly sirty gears before
the American people. One more
year only, and then he will have
been mere than three times as long
proprietor of a combined circus and
menagerie than any man in the
world. John Robinson never divides,
never splits up; it has been John
RobinsOn's Big Show for fifty-nine
summers and winters, and the name
of John Robinson's Grandest, Oldest,
Biggest and Best ofall the Big Shows
will be kept green and right before
the people for years and years to
come, for the son, John F. Robinson,
Jr., the able Manager, and also the
grandson of the old veteran show
man, who also bears the name of his
grandsire, and Notwithstanding the
old war-horse is hale and hearty and
II years of age, his scions will keep
the name of Old John Robinson be-
fore the American people for many
years to come. Remember that there
is but one John Rebinson's Big
Show, and it will come to this city
July 3Oth as sure as the sun rises in
the East and sets in the West.

ERIE, Pa, July 5.--Albert Kahn,
while riding in street car yesterday
afternoon, recklessly fired his pistol
from the window and Instantly
killed Miss May Steiner. Frank
Kahn, Alpert's brother, at night
committed suicide: another brother
named George, took horse and car
riage to drive in the country to tell
his father of the double tragedy, but
the night was dark and he drove off
an enbankment, wrecking the car
riage and narrowly escaping serious
injuries. The child shot was dis
tantly related to the murderer, and it
is supposed he fired the revolver
merely to frighten her. He claims
he thought it was loaded merely with
blank cartridges. Frank was greatly
excited over the shooting, and being
under the influence Of drink and
thinking that his brother would be
convicted and hung, it is supposed
his mind became unbalanced, and he
hung himself while in that state of
mind.

Last Hours Of Bishop Purcell.

CINCINNATI, July 5.-Bishop Elder
heard to-day from the death bed of
Archbishop Purcell. The reaction
yesterday was slight, but Rev. DIR.
Callaghan, secretary of the archbish-
op, who was constantly by his side,
was greatly rejoiced at his
returning consciousness, which
did not include the power
to converse with him. The arch
bishops tongue have been stilled by
paralysis; he was able, however, to
give some token of recognition to his
friends. His death was peaceful and
apparently without physical pain.
A slight convulsion appeared toward
the end, and in one of these he passed
away. At his bedside were Bishop
Elder, his coadjutor and successor,
Rev. nr. G. S. Callaghan, Mr.. Hecht,
of Cleveland, Father J. J. O'Dona-
hue of Dayton, Father Michael
J. O'Donahus, of Wilmington,
visitors of Unsur Lane convent, where
his grace has been in retirement
since he quilted the bishops resi-
denee. The body will be embalmed
and brought to this city tomorrow,
where it will lie in state in one of
the rooms of the cathedral residence
until Monday, when it will be taken
into the cathedral. The funeral SER
vices will on Wednesday at a. m. >.
and the burial at St. Martins, where
his mother, brother and sisters are
buried.

The College Races.

LAKE GEORGE, N. Y, July o.
The college crews decided not to start
on the consolation race this morning,
and the referee called the single scull
race postponed from yesterday. The
water was lumpy. Captain Jennison,
of the Princeton crew, contested
against j. Kohler, of the University
of Pennsylvania. On the start Jen-
nison took the lead and easily kept it
throughout the race. A strong head
of wind prevailing prevented fast
time being made. Kohler jumped
his seat at the half-mile flag and
compelled his opponent to wait fully
thirty seconds before starting to
row again. Jennison stopped
several times down the course and
crossed the finish in 13:lSl; Kohler,
14:12t.

Its record of deaths and bloody
wounds is terrifying in the extreme.
Between 6 o'clock a. m. and midnight
the total number of casualties footed
80 including three deaths. five per-
sons fatally injured, % more or less
hurt and marred for life, and five
slightly injured. The chief instru-
ment of this irresponsible murder
was the toy pistol in the hands Of
childrenIably supported by the small
cannon.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 4. - The
Fourth was observed with holiday
in all branches Of business, though
the streets and buildings were deco
rated less profusely than on previous
years The military parade was long

Vocal and literary exercises were

special matinee attractions were Civ
en- in every place of amusement. This
evening there was grand display of
fireworks in the four quarters of the
city. Many fires occurred but none
serious. Several serious accidents
from toy pistols are reported. Re-
