A miner by the name of Dominic
Toneatti was killed by a fall III the

He had been unwell for somel time,
and after laying off a few days went
to work before he was fully recov-
cred. At the time he tell lie was
working at the top of a winze 60 feet
deep. It is supposed he became
dizzy, and losing his footing was pre-
cipitated to the bottom of the Wine.
He lived but two hours after his fall.
He was an Italian by birth, rs years

AMPHITHEATRE
Herman Walks so Niles in 7
Hours and So Minutes.

At 2:3O p. M. yesterday Herman,
the pedestrian, commenced his walk
of SO miles at the Amphitheatre, the
distance to be covered in nine hours.
He accomplished the feat in seven
hours and fifty-five minutes, and at
the finish appeared able to go over
the ground again in the same time.
Mr.. Herman is u remarkable heel
and toe walker. During the after
noon and evening several parties
entered the ring and attempted to
keep up with him when he was walk
ing his ordinary gait. No one was
able to keep near him without rum
ming.
Herman was born in Boston, is
IS years old, weighs 1868 pounds and
stands 5 feet 1O4 inches In his stock
ings. He has been engaged in pedes-
trianism during the past IA years. He
is now advertised as walking on a
wager of 5000 from Duluth to San
Francisco, and must cover 5000 miles
in 1lS days. Under the terms Of the
agreement he is permitted to walk
600 miles on boards betMeen the two
points, for purses. wagers, or for a
consideration. When he arrives at
San Francisco he Is to walk until the
5000 miles are finished. He is now
ahead of time and will give another
exhibition of pedestrianism at the
Amphitheatre, in a q hours contest
with some parties now In Butte
When he left Duluth, the 25th of
last month. he weighed 1870 lbs. He
has walked at several places ON the
Yellowstone and beyond and at
Helena. Mr.. Herman is very tenn
perate in his habits, enjoys good
health and a good appetite. In his
ordinary 5! miles an hour gait his
stride is 81 feet. He does not claim
to he a go-as-you-please pedestrian,
but he says the man that wins the q
hours race, to commence Saturday

ON morality and decency to attempt
t. slaughter helpless persons bt cause
they entertained views on q moral
question to which we could not SUBJ
scribe. 1t was absurd to assert that
the Morm0ns were in rebellion. No
people could be in rebellion who
didn't reist laws by force. Tn
MormoDs held themselves at all
times ready to respond to legal pro-
cess. A people so conducting them
selves could not be in rebellion in
any legal sense. Brown u.ned some
sarcastic points on what he termed
the intermeddling of England in
other peoples business as in
the affairs of the Southern States.
People did not object 80 much to
practices in Utah as to names by
which they were called. The Utah
Commissioners, in prescribing the
test oath for voters, were careful to
exclude only those who cohablted
with more than one woman in the
marriage relation. The gentleman
with one wife and one OF more mis-
tresses could take the oath without
difficulty. There was an immense
amount-o of cant and hypocrisy in the
whole thing. Brown was ready to
sanction all constitutional legislation
which could be devised for the sup
preston of polygamy in Utah and all
illegal divorces, prostitution and iu-
ticide in New England aud else
where. but was not willing to violate
the oath he had taken to support the
Constitution, to crafty New Eng
lands intermeddliDg or suppress any
sect or denomination, however uD>
popular it might be.
HOar said be had heard enough of
Browns speech to comprehend its
character but not its motive. It did
not seem possible that any Senator
had taken 80 much pains as his
speech indicated for the mere pur-
pose of making a malicious and MAJ
lignant attack on the people of New
England. Hear could only infer that
MOrmOnism was more in accord with
that Senator's convictions than op-
posite to them. The Senator from
Georgia BROWN bad made a speech,
the logical inference Of which was
that polygamy was better than the
lawful marriage of a husband to one
wife. Each country and seacl Sec
ton of each country may have views,
but whatever there were in New Eng
land that was q reproach to her,
Hoar said, was carefully written
down by New England historians.
There were sections of the country IN
which that course was not pursued.
If he (Hoar) cared to follow the style
of argument followed by the Senator
from Georgia Brown. he could
say something without ever u refer
ence to statistics which would he
equally dlsagreeable. but with a
desire to credit the portion of the
country from which the Senator
came, and with as much propriety as
he could, Hoar thought the presence
of mulattoes remained to be
accounted for in some way, but he
would not enter on this sort of argu-
ment. 'Chis was a bill having a
specific purpose applicable to Utah.
Without action on the bill the
Senate adjourned.

BENTON DISCOURAGED.
A Stumbling Block In the Way OF
the Reservation Bill.

The River Press, of the 24th inst,
says: Col. Donnelly was heard from
last evening and he reports that the
%sutjoined telegram was drawn up and
sent by Major Lincoln to the COM
missioner Of Indian affairs. It is
doubtless true that the boundary sug-
gested for the new reservation would
be very acceptable to the people of
Fort Benton, but it is also true that
such a dispatch at this stage of the
proceedings destroys all hope Of the
opening of the reservation in any
way this session of congress. The
bill, as framed by Msginnis, while it
might be improved, is a million times
better than none at all, and We are
sorry to e that Major Lincoln does
not indorse it, as his Endorsement
would probably result IN the opening
Of q portion Of that fine country, while
the suggestion of new boundaries,
widely different from those de-
fined In the bill will cause delay
and the ultimate defeat of the
measure. liza bill framed In accord.
ance with the views of Lincoln and
Donnelly, as expressed in the dis.
patch, did not antagonize other
interests and could be passed, it
would be all right. but the chances
are largely In favor Of its failure, and
we thus get nothire! Maginnis
asked for a telegram from Lincoln,
approving the bill, in accordance
with a letter of that official pub
lished in this paper, but he got some
thing else, and the matter, muddled
before, is now in a hopeless state,
and it is safe to say nothing will bs
done. A number of citizens inter-
viewed by the River Press reporter
last evening fully agree with us in
these opinions. The telegram re-
ferred to reads as follows:
FORT BELKNAP, May %
10 Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
Washington, d. C.:

scribed in Miaginnis' bill unsatisfac-
tory to the people of ChOteau county. |

tory to me and all, or nearly all, con-
cerned-giving the Indians their

patch in behalf OF myself and the
people of Fort Benton.

The particles and fragments of tins
remittance not redeemed by the
Treasurer are marked past finding
out"
The process of ascertainiDg the face
value of fragments of Legal Tender
and National Bank Currency at the
United States Treasures office,
shows that the treatment of such ra-
demption must be directed by the
most eminent ingenuity and skill.
BY the letter of the Treasurer a saTn~
rle of the makeup of a fragment note
ia given. which shows that the frag-
nlents are manipulated by exnert
fingers, directed by strong magnify
ing glasses anu placed together in
such q manner that a whole note
with numbers, vignette. coat of arms,
place of issue. date, ETC., can be dis
tinctly identified as pasted together.
How such an amount as $74O could
be gotten out of the bits of lint that
were forwarded in this cas- to the
United States Treasurer for redemp-
ton as money, is q wonder to those
who saw the fragments of a rats
nest sent on by the Merchants Ma
tional Bank of Helena. The result
shows the great care and attention
given business at the United States
Treasury and how obliging the OF,
ficialS are to holders of the national
currency, not ignoring those who put
their greenbacks in a rat hole"
The moral to be drawn from this Is
that paper currency is safer in any
one of our banking institutions than
hidden away where mountain rats
and mice can find and destroy it.

Delegates to Chicago.

One week from to-day the Demo-
cratic Central Committee will meet
at Deer Lodge for the purpose OF &C.
lecting two delegates to the National
Democratic Convention to be held at
Chicago the s:h of next July. Under
the call OF the National Democratic
Committee. the question of permit
ting Territorial delegates to vote Is
left to the convention. That body
may allow Territorial delegates a
voice in nominating its candidate for
the Presidency, or it may not. Here>
tofore they have had seats in national
conventions of the party, but no vote,
just as the House of Representatives
permit Territorial Delegates upon the
floor of that body, shorn of the power
to vote.
II the Democratic party comes into
power it would probably permit
Territorial Delegates to vote
in National conventions for
the same reason the Republican
party allows them to vote-that Is,
because the administration genera
ai,v their votes for Its favor
lite candidate for the Presidency.
We have referred to this matter
merely to quiet the apprehensions OF
our evening contemporary who seems
to be considerably exercised concern
ing the assumed powers of the
Democratic Central Committee. We
would add that as we have no Blaine
or Arthur factions in the Democratic
party the matter of selecting the
delegates may be safely left to the
Central Committee.
