A Notorious Outlaw Pard0ned.
ST. LOUIS, March 8.-Gov. Crittenden has
pardoned Clarence Hite, noted member of the
James gang, who pleaded gtilty to train rob-
berry in February, 1882, and was sentenced to
twenty-five years imprisonment. The pardon
was issued on the recommendation of the peni-
tentiary physician and board of inspectors:
Hite is in the last stages Of consumption, and
since his incarceration has been in the hospital
two-thirds of the time. He is weak and enact
ated, and his voice is nearly gone. Accompa-
MED by his brother-in-law he started for his
fathers home in Logan county, Ky. There is
speculation as to the effect of Hites pardon upon
Frank James prospects, rs it is believed if he
went on the witness stand or made deposition
he could SO ID James to the penitentiary.

The Connecting Link.

HELENA Mont, March 8.-The last contract
that will ever be let on the main line of the
Northern Pacific railroad was closed on Satur-
day. On that day Messrs. Winston Bros, of
Minneapolis, and 81. Clark, of New York, were
awarded~the contract for completing the North
Pacific track from the present eastern ter
minus of the western or Pacific division into
Helena the capital of Montana. These same
gentlemen already had the contract for building
the line from the present western terminus of
the eastern division at Bozeman, to Helena. The
distance covered by each of these contracts is
about $50 miles, making 800 miles in all to be
built this year. with Helena as the central point
of this unfinished portion. These energetic and
successful contractors are equal to the task
which they have taken upon themselves, and it
is safe to assume that they will meet the expec-
tation of the company and of the public by hav-
ing the track ready for trains to pass from Du-
luth, Minneapolis and st Paul to Portland, Ore,
before the close of 1888. Chief Engineer An
derson, of the North Pacific, is here, and is
assisting Messrs. Winston Il Clark in making
vigorous preparations for the commencement of
work on this closing section. The l5O mile
contract Just let will extend from a
point near Missoula to Helena. and will include
the main summit of tho Rocky mountains.
Work has been for some time progressing on
the tunnel at Mullan's Pass through the main
range west of Helena. Its length is $3.50 feet,
and its elevation above the sea 5,549 feet. This
lacks Just seventeen feet of the height of the
tunnel at Bozeman Pass the point at which the
North Pacific surmounts the Belt range of the
Rocky mountains. The tunnel at Bozeman will
be $500 feet in length and its elevation above
the sea 5565 feet. Work is also rapidly pro-
gressirg from both directions on this latter
tunnel, and it is expected that it will be CONF
pleted in ample time to meet the requirements
of construction this year. The final measure.
ments and location of the two tunnels show
that the highest elevation ON the North Pacific
will be 2, 495 feet lower than the highest point
on the Union Pacific at Sherman, and nearly
$500 feet lower than the highest point on the
Central Pacific, where it crosses the Sierra Ne
vada mountains.
Since the definite settlement of the fact that
the North Pacific was to pass through Helena
this city has taken wonderful forward move
ment, and everything indicates that it is to be
the largest place between Portland and Bis
marck. Ths advent of the North Pacific road
has given fresh impetus to mining industries,
and scores of mines which had little or no value
because of the low grade of their ore, are now
rapidly coming into market and being devel-

YANKroN, March 8.-Legislation went or
smoothly to-day, and there was not much excite
ment. Jerauld, of Lincoln county, who held thu
balance of power in the council on the capital
removal bill, and after long hesitation went ove1
to the side of the enemy, and carried the bill
has been injuriously sat down on to-day by tht
men he served. Measures which they promised
to carry through for him. particularly those relat
ing to railroads have been ruthlessly strangled
and Jerauld given to understand that the
crowd were through with him. There was 8
scheme fixed to attempt the removal Of the o
8. court from Yankton to Jerauld's home, but it
was dropped. Members of the land syndicatk
who procured the passage of the capital bill
fearful that the Yankton people would contest
in the courts the removal act, which is admitted
to be unconstitutional, have been interviewing
leading citizens to-day, promising to keep thei1
hands off the court if they will not appeal to the
courts. The governor signed the capital bill
to-day. In honor -of the event the Yankton
cornet band was out on the street parading and
discoursing its best music. The cause of the re-
ioicing was not so much about the capital re.
moval as the fact that its removal takes Cover

syndicate made him more SO. Tne Legislature

has nevertheless succeeded in arousing the
curiosity Of great many intelligent people by
means of his great storm prediction. The pro-
fessors has lately arrived at very positive con-
clusion that the storm will occur "a at first pre-
dicted. One of the localities which is to be visi-
ted by the greatest fury of the tempest is Hall
fax, N. g., and the professor a few days since
started for that point to witness it: He is re-
ported, however, to have been showed IN while
en- route, in one of the greatest snow storms
Canada ever knew. According to his prediction
the storm is to rise in the North Pacific ocean,
off Oalifornis, this morning, come east, strike
our shores the afternoon of Saturday, travelling
south of the forty. fifth parallel, and, clashing
with the Rocky mountains, would rebound, send
ing q portion of its force eastward along the
preat lakes about noon of Sunday. Vast tidal
waves are to appear in the China sea, Bay of
Bengal, and the Gulf of Mexico.
