WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-B. Pratt Carpen-

Montana, is . native Of Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
ID about 80 years of age and is . lawyer. He
ran for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket
with Judge Folger when the latter YVES
beaten by Cleveland. He belongs TO the
Stalwart wing Of the party and was recon-
mended for the place by the Presidents most
intimate political friends.
The above by the Associated Press supple.

The gentleman Is an ex-State Senator Of
New York, and has been, We are informed,
located In Brooklyn In the practice Of law.

President Arthur would establish the precs-

BOSS KELLY.


NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-John Kelly's illness
occasions much apprehension among his
friends, particularly bis political adhersnts.
The Times says 1t has been given out that he
Is suffering from q severe cold. Intimate
friends are ayerse to talking about bis actual
condition, but, from their chary utterances,
enough Is obtained 10 show that they believe
he 10 breaking down. Kelly will be GA years
old next April. The question or who shall
succeed him in the dictatorship of the Tam
many Hall Democracy Is . very serious one.
Kelly will die without political issue. In oil
the $4,000 voters in the Tammany organiza-
ton, there Is not one fit to succeed him as
the head of the party. 1t Is this fact which
stays with him as he lays stretched out on
his bed. II is this fact that stares the organ-
ization in the face aud adds to the bitterness
Of Its defeat At the polls. The defeat Of his
organization has left him . broken man.
There are not wanting those who say his
mind is giving way. It is apparent that his
reign Is over. Tammany must soon cease.
He, Is we'll rs his henchnen, are casting
about for leader.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-The Herald says !:

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-St. John writes that
he never offered or proposed to sell out to
the Republicans. He continues: 81 am to-
day, and always have been . comparatively
poor man. The Republican party may burn
me efigy, and continue Its threats Of person
81 violence; II may open Its noodgates Of
falsehood and villifcation and bitterness

or little from doing what my conscience tells
me Is right. The campaign for 1888 Is al
ready begun, and the warfare against liquor
traffic will be vigorously prosecuted. The
political party that stands In the way OF this
movement Of the people IN defense Of their
homes, will get hurt. The spirit of intoler-

day is doing for that party just what the same
spirit did for the pro slavery party thirty
years ago. Hanging men in efigy and in

Loss Of Life Among tn. oystermen.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-THE officers of the
steamer Mason L. Weems, which arrived
this morning from the Rsppahannock river,
Virginia, report fearful loss of life among
the colored oystermen on that river In the
storm Of Tuesday last. About rs colored
men were out in their boats longing for oys-
tiers when the storm arose. The gale cap.
sized almost all of them. Those who were
not, we're unable to reach the shore. The
men were thrown into rough water and were
unable to swim. Many chung to the boats
for time, but finally were washed away and
drowned. Eleven bodies have been recoy-
cred already, and as many moro are said to
be missing. 1t is scarcely possible any Of
the latter have escaped death.

ATTEMPTED RESCUE.
An Outlaw Boards Northern Pasifc
Train.
Independent, 16th.

..'fr# lHuepcUdeFb, lom'
From nephew of Mr.. P. s. Mathews, Of
this city, who arrived In Helena on Sunday
evening, IL is learned that sheriff and posse
boarded the train at Miles City with four
horse thieves who had been captured in Gus
ter county. Nothing unusual transpired IN
til a shsrt distance on the other side Of the
Bszeman tunnel, when q suspicious looking
character got on the train.
:. The sheriff who had-the prisoners in charge
began to suspect that'this stranger had ssme
evil intention in his mind, and so ordered all
the passengers on board who bad arms to as
semble in the baggage car. He then had this
man arrested and found that he had his large
buffalo coat literally lined with bowie knives
and every pocket in his clothes loaded with
rsvolvers. He had more than twenty 1--we
Bowie knives on his person. 1t Is supposed
that he intended to arm the prisoners while
going through the Bozeman tunnel, and the
entire crowd would make their escape.
From description given Of enc Of the
prisoners, it Is supposed that Con. Murphy
Is among the number. The description cor
taialy answers in every respect to this note
rious hsrse thief and desperate. 1t Is sufi-
cisnt cause for rejoicing that such bloody
ARRAY a. threatened was averted, and that
these despnradoes are where they are--in safe
keeping. 1t is to % hoped that those who
have them IN charge will see that net enc
escapes.
The people of Montana win have feeling
Of relief when the last desperate 10 made safe
bshind the bars, and put there to stay. Al
ready two have besn sent up for safe keeping
from this county within the last fsw weeks,
and the same treatment from al the courts
OF the Territory would soon weed sus these
gangs OF outlaws.

iron roofing. On the new smelter building
the roofing is all on except about 100 squares.
To cover the building entirely requires 300
squares.

GENERAL SHERMAN recently stated that
while In active service, during the war, he
had seen letter from Jefferson Davis, then
President OF the Southern Confederacy, to 1
person now In the United States Senate,
limiting that Dictatorship would meet his
appreciation, providing, Of ceuse, that he
should be Dictator. Mr.. Davis replies In q
letter, in which he calls General Sherman 4
"base slanderer," and the latter says that he
will make bis answer through the War De-
partment. He now has . search instituted
In the government archives for the letter,
which he captured during the war and for
warded TO the War Department. Senator
Vance has published letter which be re-
ceived from Davis, that does not csvsr the
assertion, but Sherman says that IL not the
letter alluded TO and that Vance was In no
way connected with IL. It ives suspected by
some Of the Confederate leaders In 1891 that
conspiracy Of this nature was On foot, and
IL 10 believed this controversy, which has ~
come quite acrimonious, will bring ont the
facts.

THE NEW aNESTHETIC.
hissoulidn, Dec. Il.

Hissoulidn, Dec. IL.
Last Sunday evening III. Wilson, a saw-filsr
at Harris mill up the canon, was injured by
a very small piece Of steel flying into his eye.
Efforts on tho part of his companions to get
IL out were unsuccessful, and he came to
town next morning suffering In uch pain and
with the grain Of steel deeply inbedded in
the eye-ball. He called on DR.. Mills, who
took cut the little piece of metal, using as an
anesthetic the new discovery, cocaine, which
Is creating much wonder in the medical fra
ternity. Applying few drops to Wilson's
eye, the pain soon left him, and in 20 min
utes after the first application the eye be-
came entirely insensibls to feeling, and DIR.
Mills could pass his finger over the eye-ball
or push aud dig into it with instruments
without the patients knowledge. OF course
the piece Of steel was quickly taken out, and
Wilson's eye is now all right. This is proba-
bly, the first time the new anasthstic has
been used in Montana. II was used for the
first time in the United States about Oct. 10,
and the properties q. a local aneesthetic
were only discovered about a year ago. The
medicine is derived from the leaves of a
plant, coco crythoxylen, which grows wild
in Peru and Bolivia, being also cultivated in
those countries. The leaves, which are much
like tea leaves, are eaten by the natives as a
stimulant, enabling them to work all day
without food and with much less WEAKNESS
than ordinarily. As local an4sthetic the
hydrochlorats or muriats reduced to = 4-per
cent strength is used (Dr. Mills in this case
using the muriate), and with the effect of
rendering all organs covered with mucous
membrane inssnsibls to pain, thus making
much easier all operations on the eye, car,
nose, mouth, throat, and so forth. It is ex-
pected also that 1t can be applied in ether
surgical operations and take the place Of
chioroform, ether, and ether anasthetics
which affect the whole system. Even IL this
expectation is not fulfilled, the use Of the
cocaine for the more delicate organs will be
very valuable. Its financial value is pretty
COED at present, it costing 90 cents grain,
or $40 an ounce.
