The Twenty-Mile Race.

One of the chief attractions which will be
presented at the Butte race course on the Fourth
is the 2O.mile race, between Miss Williams, OF
England, AMI Miss Floyd, Of California, for a
purse of $1,000. The former is the champion
long distance lady rider in the world, snd the
latter the champion OF California. Under the
terms of the race each rider must change horses
1t the finish of every mile. Hence it will be
seen that not only skill in riding must be dis
played, but quickness in dismounting and
mounting must be exhibited by the contestants,
as the time occupiel in the latter move
ments will probably decide the race
The purse is large one and every
effort will be made by each to win it. AS this
will be the first race of the kind in Montana its
novelty will doubtless attract an immense
crowd to it. On the fifth an interesting race be-
tween lady riders. mile heats, best in 5, will
also be rum The riders will use no saddles in
his race. These novel and exciting events with
the several trotting races by noted flyers will
make up a Fourth of July racing programme
which has never been surpassed in interest in
the Territory,

Death of a Famous Dog.

Thackeray-who hated Sterne-lashes the author of "A Sentimental Journey w&th whip of scorn for shedding tears over a dead jackass. Yet it Is not difficult to imagine with what pathetic tenderness the creator of Colonel New comb might himself have praised 8 dead dog-no other than the famous Scotch collie "Help," who was run over and killed yesterday morning by a passenger train at level crossing at Middlesbroueh. It was the business and pleasure of this good creature's existence to collect subscriptions for the Or phan Fund of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, and in that capacity he travelled over greater part of the country, always returning safe and sound to head quarters in the City-road with the proceeds of his charitable mission intact. Last au- rumn ''Help' paid visit to the continent, and was introduced by tha captain of the steamship Brittany to her majesty's vice. consul at Diepps at which town he collected one hundred and fifty francs. On the re- turn journey to Newhaven he got six pounds more Altogether the French trip yielded the society the sum of twelve pounds. The dog was trained to ''offices of eharity' by one of the guards of the night boat train on the London, Brighton and South Coast Line He seemed thoroughly to appreciate the use- fulness of his career, and never lost su op- portunity of adding to his employers in come. An animal of singuiarly engaging manners, great intelligence and most gener- GUS disposition, "Help" will be sincerely re- gretted Oy large circle of admiring friends. Pope pleaded for the faithful friend'' of the poor "Indian" with 'tuntutored mind" that he might 'hear bis master company" in the happy hunting ground of a future life. But no such appeal Is necessary in this case. A dog's heaven is in his masters approving smile. "Help'' lived and died doing his duty and that man is fortunate indeed who, dying, can have so much truly recorded for his epitaph.

The Death of Young Dyer.

The De&th of Young Dyer.
 On Saturday several witnesses were x amined by Coroner Bollman regarding the accident to Oliver Dyer, jr., the Yale student who fell at the gymnasium week ago Satur- day while engaged in sparring exhibition. Robert B. Williams, the young student who was Dyer's opponent in the fatal contest tes- tified during the afternoon. He showed by his bearing in the eoroner's office that he WAS deeply affected and depressed over the un- fortunate occurrence. He was considerably agitated in giving his testimony and looked like man who was worn by loss of sleep. He said that he stopped blow which he had launched at Dyer when he saw the latter tottering. Dyer's limbs seemed to collapse under him and it was only after he had sunk into squatting position that he went com. pletely over backwards. Williams also stated that he was not conscious of having hit Dyer hard, but that he could not give the details of the sparring as we'll as the spectators.
 H. II Knapp of the Law school and the referee at the bout, said that the sparring lasted precisely forty-ive seconds. A few of the blows delivered by Williams were fairly hard ones. Dyer trembled at the KneeS anu SnOW0O slBuS OL AhlutuSbS DoIOr6 he went down.
 Frank H. Howe attributed Dyer's accident wholly to faintness from over-exertion. He had seen men who were receiving instructions in sparring from W. O. Dole, his employer, fall from faintness without being struck blow. Henry B. sar- gent, vice president of the Athletic association. and William H. Cushing direc- tor of Hopkins grammar school, saw the af- fair and made statements agreeing with those of the other witnesses regarding the sparring contest. Most of the blows inn pressed them as being light and none of them as being sufficiently severe to cause Dyer's fall.
 Other witnesses will be heard to-day by Coroner BolIman and decision will probs- ply be reached in regard to the matter this morning.

Opening it McDaniel recognized the smell of whisky and the liquid proving to be fine old article he sat down and continued drink ing until he fell asleep. Worried by his continued absence, the mans mother sought him out and awakened him.

 prise to many, four years ago, that Oonnecti-
 out did not compliment Senator Hawley in-
 stead of dividing it's vote ss it did. Senator
 Havley is 8 modest man, and neither
 by word or indirectien would he encourage the idea of his candidacy then any more than he would now. He may be-
 like Senator Edmunds, of the opinion that New England cannot expect to furnish an available candidate. But, indeed. while Vermont holds fast to the belief that Senator Edmunds would be a good standard bearer, I think our own State, with four more votes in the convention. need not be less assum- ing than our northern neighbors."
 MT. Wait spoke of President Arthur as having the esteem of Connecticut Republi- cans saying: "His administration has been SO admirably conducted that there is no limit to the commendation he receives among our most intelligent citizens. look upon his course as above criticism. The political sa- gacity he has displayed proves him to be a while his discreet methods have combined to challenge the good opinion of all classes, irrespective of politics. If he is as popular everywhere as his merits deserve his nomination would,,not be surprise, but just reward for his fidelity in the discharge of the onerous duties of an office forced upon him under the most painful circumstances.

Her mother seemed frantic with grief and urged Iynching the prisoners In the course of time all the accused proved their innocence, and the crime had been almost forgotten. A week or so ago Mrs. Vett was taken sick, but refused to have physicians. Last Sunday, seeing she must soon die, she called her son and after charging him to keep her secret till death confessed with ninuteness how she had be- come angry at her daughter for remaining out all night with friend and struck her with an axe, killing her.

Poisoned by Canned TOmAtoes-The Suf
 ferinEs of Q Brooklyn Family.
 NEW YORK, March 16-Miss Theodora Kolyer lay dangerously i'll last evening at her home, No. 33 Clermont avenue, Brooklyn, from lead poisoning, caused by her eating canned tomatoes. It appears that some time ago Mrs. Theodore B. Kolyer, her mother, purchased two cans of. tomatoes at grocery in the neighborhood and prepared them for lunch. They were eaten by Mrs. Kolyer: Theodora, twenty-five years old; Grace, eighteen years old; John, thirteen years Of age, and Osceola, ten years old. Soon after the meal one of the children was attacked with severe pains in the stomach; a few minutes later another exhibited similar symp- toms and it was not long before the entire family was suffering severely. Simple remedies were applied, and all, with the exception of Theodora, began to improve. She, however, became worse, and on Monday Dr. John T. Johnson was called in. After making careful diagnosis of the case he reached the conclusion that she was suffering from lead poisoning
 The condition of the young woman was very bad during the week and yesterday morning there was a marked change for the worse. She was then seized with convulsions which continued almost without intermission until afternoon. At that time she called her parents to her bedside and said she was s'going home" Late last night hopes of her recovery were entertained by her physician. The Didn't-K -Know-It-Nas-Loads Idiot
 Shocking Death of . Young Lady.
 BRooKLYN, March 16.-A shocking aeci- dent occurred this afternoon at the residence of John Cassidy, 476 Sixth avenue, South Brooklyn, by which young girl was in stantly killed. It appears that Denis Riley, thirty years of age, of 257 Fifteenth street. and Miss Celia Renney, seventeen years old, were visiting at Cassidy's house. While they were pleasantly chatting by way of frightening them Riley drew 8 four-eham- bered 32-calibre revolver and pointing it at Mary Cassidy's head said he would mee- merize her. She gave a scream and put up her hands Riley laushe and then pointed the pistol at Celia Renney, when it went off, the ball entered her brain, killing her instant ly. Detective Stollsworthy of the Eighth precinct, who was called in, arrested Riley, who made no effort to escape. When he fully realized his position he was overcome with grief and protested his innocence of any intention of shooting the girl or that he had any knowl- edge of the pistol being loaded. On exam. ming the weapon it was found that the three other chambers were empty. The coroner was notified and the prisoner will be brought up in the morning

Young Teller Foi'ed-A Desperate hut
 FruitIess Break for Liberty.
 ST LOUIS, March 16.-Prentice Teller, the express robber, made bold and desperate attempt to escape yesterday afternoon. Since his arrival here he has been in the hands of the express officials, helping them to straight en out their accounts, and has occupied room on the fifth floor of the Linden Hotel, adjoining that of General Manager Morsman, and a policeman has been on guard in the hall on the outside. Yesterday afternoon while Mir. Morsman was very busy writing, no one else being present, Teller quietly passed out of an open window, and by the aid of the fire escape descended to the bal cony over the main entrance of tho hotel at the third story. He then jumped through an open window into lady's bedroom, thence into the hall of the hotel, but not being &C., quainted with the house ran wildly until he reached the ladies' ordinary on the Sixth street side of the hotel. The outer doors of this room being locked, he had to retrace bis steps, and as he did so Officer King, the guard, met and caught him. He was taken to the Four Courts, delivered to the police authorities and locked up.
