4 Serious Accident.

We mentioned yesterday that man
at Livingston had been badly injured by
q locomotive. The following from the
-Eanprise explains the nature of the &C.
cident -
"On Saturday night about one O'Clock
s. II. Brown was standing in the door ol
the Merchants hotel when he saw MIN
going toward the railroad track whom he
wished to interview. He followed him
rapidly and the pursued man crossed the
track in front ofa mogul engine that was
moving through the yard. Brown fol-
lowed quickly, and in crossing the far
ther rail slipped and fell, his right leg
lying across the rail. He arose to his
knees, but before he could get out of the
way the wheels of the engine had caught
his leg and severed it about midway be-
tween the knee and ankle. He was
taken to tht, Merchants hotel, DR.. Alton
summoned and the leg was amputated
above the Gu t. The victim of this unfor-
tunate accids mt says he left his claim on
the West Ga latin about two weeks ago
and came to- Livingston, hoping to get
work in the railroad shops. Failing in
this he Was about to go to Helena to
work on some mineral claims owned in
that vicinity by him and his brother

On the CRur d'Alene Trail.

Oliver BroGock and Ed. Pierce, OF
Townsend, have each received a letter
from VIM. Mcknight, who, in company
with George Brodock, recently left for
the new mines. The first letter is dated
Heron Siding, Dec. 30, and from the
Trunchant we Gull the following para
graphs:
At Heron there is not over ten inches
of snow. The trail is blazed from here
but no one has passed over it for two
weeks. Trout Creek, twenty-four miles
east of here, is an outfitting point, and a
good many are going in from there. A
pack train runs from there sixteen miles
and the balance of the way (about four
teen miles, the freight is transported by
man power. 1 think we will 60 to Rath-
drum and take pack train from there.
Ihear that there are three or four run
ming. A man without baggage would
have no trouble going from Ratcdrum.
From there stages run to CHur dAlene
City. About 800 soldiers are stationed
there. Three saw mills are running and
parties are building three steamboats, for
the lake. Leaving Ceur dAlene City
the steamer takes you within twenty
four miles of the mines, over which one
may go with pack trains. cannot learn
what the steamboat fare is. Meals are
nifty cents, and freight one-half cent per
pound; more than that l don't known, as
reports are very conflicting.

How Beocher Received.

New York Letter: l know Of at least
one plate whore the day retained all its
old-fashioned hospitality. It was just
after the noon hour l entered a plain
three-story brick house on Hicks street,
Brooklyn. A woman With a motherly
face framed in white tresses welcomed
me, and was about to lead me to the re-
freshment table when q hasty step ap-
preached and a CHEEKY voice sang out
Here, mother, I'll attend to these news
paper men," Then grasping my hand
and slapping me on the shoulder, he
said: "My dear boy, I'm glad to see
you. Come in and get square meal,
and shake from your mind the cares of
Printing House square" And I drank
to the health of Henry Ward Beecher in
a cup of delicious mocha, and minute
later was making havoc with the hind
leg of a turkey, while Mr.. Beecher was
doing justice to sandwich, telling me
between mouthfuls what wonderful
city he considered Chicago. And then /
watched the people come and go. Some
in magnificent carriages, with all the
pomp of livery and footman, but most Of
them were ON foot, and eight out of ten
were poor young men or average business
men, with an occasional railroad mag
nate or great lawyer. Half a dozen
New York politicians came in party,
but they got no wine or sour mash. Mr..
Beecher said in his pulpit Sunday morn
ing that he would keep an open house
but mighty tight-locked wine cellar,
and his word was not broken. Indeed it
was "a happy New Year. in the home of
great preacher.

Chandler and Spencer.

Quite funny scene occurred at the
navy department the other day between
ex-senator Spencer and Secretary Chan
,ller, says Washington special. Spencer
came into the department before he was
released from the contempt case and
took seat at Chambers right hand.
The secretary received him very coldly
and, taking it for granted that he had
come to him to get help, said:
Spencer, you shouldn't come here to
see me now. It is very indelicate of you.
1 can't do anything for you, and you
ought to know it. You should have acted
more prudently. You have gotten your
affairs all into mess, and your coming
here to get my help is sure to provoke
scandal. You know how the acts of pub
lie men are scrutinized and made the
subject of criticism"
Spencer listened to this sort of talk for
about five minutes, and then spoke.
my God, Chandler" he cried, II did
not come here to ask anything of you, l
don't see why you should talk to me in
this way. Are you talking for the bene-
fit Of the rest of the people in the room?'
Chandler made some further remark
about the ex-senator's lack of delicacy in
calling upon a cabinet officer when he
was involved in scandalous trial, where
upon Spencer sprang to his feet and
began to pound the desk.
"See here, Bill Chandler" he thunder
ed, II used to run ten times the chance
of making a scandal when you were
dancing around the doors of my senato-
rial committee-room, the lobbyist agent
of John Roach and Charles F. Secor, and
in those days you were not much inn
pressed with the fear of making a scan
dal. You had better take the advice of
a friend and resign"
At this Spencer walked out of the room.

More About the Park.

The Pioneer Press of the 10Th, inst, has
the following to say regarding the man.
agement and managers of the National
Park:
From letters and papers submitted to
the senate by the secretary Of the inter-
ior, there appear to be grounds for appre-
hending that Yellowstone National Park
matters need prompt attention. The
park itself is reported as being rapidly
denuded of those exceptional attractions
which its enclosure was intended to
secure the people at large. The lease of
a portion to a large hotel company, whose
table is said to be supplied from the
nations game, and whose cabinet Of
curiosities is alleged to be growing to
magnificent proportions by free loot Of
the nations reserves, are mentioned as
the more prominent causes of complaint
But, as usual, a conflict of authority, and
doubt as to the exact Jurisdiction over
regu] alton of Improvements and abate-
merit of grievances, is at the bottom Of
the trouble. The hotel tease seems to
have been well enough; some hotel ac-
commodations must reasonably have
been supplied in so remote a locality, and
the government itself could hardly have
become the immediate landlord. But
this was no reason for allowing things to
take care of themselves, and the lessees
ito go as they please" if such has been
the case. Secretary Teller, it appears
from the correspondence submitted, has
not been remiss in instructions from
time to time, and in warning the hotel
people to keep within the letter of the
lease. But mere instructions and warn
ings do not seem to entirely meet the
necessities of Yellowstone Park. If the
anonymous accusation can be proved,
something more rigorous than the pres
ent surveillance seems imperative, if the
purposes for which this phenomenal ter
ritory has been set aside to the people
are to be conserved.

Col. IngersOll and Mss Gardner.

Miss Helen H.. Gardner lectured at
Chickering hall, New York, last week, on
Men, Women and Girls. She was intro
duced by Col. Ingersoll, who said:
"There is always SO much bitterness" }"
said Col. Ingersoll, "when we are discus
sing questions which nobody under
stands, and the less we know of the sub
ject the more bitter we are. / have al
ways endeavored to cultivate a kindly
form of expression, and to influence as
much as l could the women of the land,
but have found that even women are
sometimes bitter and unreasonable on
subjects about which they know moth
ing. [Laughter.] There is this differ
ence between wisdom and prejudice.
They both come eventually to the same
line, because there is shore beyond
which no intellect has ever gone, spot
OH the wall of our prison above which
neither wisdom nor prejudice has ever
risen. Wisdom, when she gets to this
line, is modest, and says, Beyond this l
cannot co. prejudice gets to the point,
and just there is where her certainty
begins. [Laughter.] She knows all
about it beyond that point. Now we
have been taught that nothing 80 be-
comes woman as to believe in every
thing, and that a woman without faith
would hardly believe in her own hus-
band. l think that We all ought to be
honest with each other. [Applause.]
The heart of the question is right there.
and 1 admit that know as little as any
human being about the origin or the des-
tiny of humanity. Nobody can know
less, and, so far as I've got, nobody can
know more. 1t is something into which
the blind can see as well asanybody else.
[Iaughter.] I cannot say whether death
is a wall or door; the beginning or the
end of day; the spreading Of pinions to
soar or the folding forever of wings; the
dawn of life which brings rapture and
joy to every one, or the setting of a sun,
never to rise again. Now, / insist that
ON subject about which nobody knows
anything everybody, even women, have
right to express themselves. When
any religion puts chain on woman it is
her right and duty to break it; when it
makes her the slave of man or God it
is her right and duty to resist and break
her bonds. Some women have exercised
this right and are now free. and l have
the pleasure now to introduce you to a
lady who will tell you the objections
she has to the orthodox religion of the
Bible, to the inspired insipidities Of the
patriarchs.'

Four Balls in His Head.

After more than years absence, JnO
Hinosh, Bohemian, has returned to
Cleveland from Chicago, where he has
been employed in rolling mill. Hinosh,
two years ago, lived on the South side.
His family troubles, brought on by liquor
and bad temper, drove him to distrac-
ton, and one day he determined to die.
He got thirty-two caliber revolver, and
standing in the middle of his kitchen,
began operations on his person. The
first ball he fired into his breast, direct
" over his heart This made no percep-
tible impression on his vitality, though
it went directly through his body. Then
he put the pistol under his lower jaw and
sent ball crashing through that, and
also through the roof of his mouth some
where up in the region of his brain.
This did not satisfy him, and he put the
pistol barrel in his mouth and fred an
other ball up through the roof Of the
mouth into the place where the brain
ought to be. Still he clamored for more,
and again the next ball passed up against
his cheek, tearing his ear and going into
the ceiling. Even yet he did not seem
to be affected, and one more ball went
into his head somewhere. Then he got
mad, and, throwing the revolver on the
floor, ran out into the yard to hunt an
axe, but by that time he was beginning
to weaken and dropped to the ground. A
doctor examined the mans wounds, and
said his death was matter of only few
hours. The wound over the heart itself
was enough to kill him, and any one of
the balls in his head ought to have sent
any man into eternity very quickly. But
Hlnosh lived, and over his case the doc
tors marvelled greatly. He still carries
the bullets in his head. He is power
ful man, of more than ordinary size, and
was employed in the rolling mills. After
his recovery he went to Chicago, and has
just returned. He is growing weaker,
and DIR. Humiston says he be-
gins to see signs of failing health.

Grant and Gov. Hunt.

The Denver Tribune tells story about
Gov. Hunts removal by President Grant
that is decidedly interesting: In May,
1877, A. c. Hunt succeeded Alexander
Cummings as governor of the then Ter
ritory of Colorado. Gov. Hunt had pre-
vious to this been a prominent politician
in the Territory, having held the posi-
ton of United States marshal. His ad-
ministration met the approval of all, and
tended greatly to solidify the Republican
party. There was not little surprise,
then, when before his term of office as
governor had expired, he was removed
by President Grant. There was much
indignation expressed, and Gov. Hunt
was greatly astonished. His successor
was Edward w. McCook. Gov. Hunt
was not a man to worry himself over
being removed from a political Office, but
he felt that he had been the victim of an
outrage.
Some time after this, President Grant
visited the West. He was coming to
Denver, and Gov. Hunt, who was then q
prominent Denver 4 Rio Grande official,
with characteristic courtesy fitted up a
special train to meet him. Gov. Hunt
and several of Denver's most prominent
citizens were passengers on board the
train, and they gave him royal recep-
ton. Hunts friends asked Grant why
he removed him, the president said:
"Now, really, l cannot tell You how it
was that Mr.. Hunt was removed. do
not remember having removed him.
Just at that time things were very much
mixed up at Washington, and 1 don't
know whether Mr.. Hunt was removed or
not"
"In his hotel next day, taking him by
the hand, the president said: II believe
you have been wronged."
"My removal from Office was an ont
rage" replied Gov. Hunt.
"Well, then," said the general. 81 will
make you present of stud horse worth
5000 if you will send a man to st. Louis
for the animal"
Gov. Hunt accepted the gift, and thus
the difficulty was settled.

Montana Matters.

Under date of January 1lth, our towns
man, Mr.. Phil Rountree wrote the follow
ing for the Minneapolis Journal:
The papers have Of late been making
wholesale libelous weather statements
about this Territory that simple justice
demands should be corrected. AS the
reports were of a general nature and
Jumped the weather along one thousand
miles of the Northern Pacific no one sees
any malace behind the returns. Once
only this winter and then for less than
an hour has the thermometer here mark
ed as low point as twenty-one degrees
below. Only three days thus far has the
mercury gone down below zero and over
half the winter to date has Bozeman en-
joyed a temperature above freezing.
For several months past between Boze-
man and Missoula there has been over
81 100000 tied up in contractors North
ern Pacific vouchers in the hands of mer-
chants, bankers and capitalists. This
has had the effect of tightening the local
money markets and making the people
generally watch the movements Of the
New York individual heads of the roads
closely. Over sl35, 900 has just been re-
ceived here with which to begin the task
of taking up the company's paper. A
promise that the balance of the necessary
money for this purpose shall follow at
once, accompanied the installment above
noted.
Negotiations are completed for the
sale of the Bozeman coal company's mine
to the Union Pacific railway company.
The papers are prepared and the money
will be paid on the 18th inst. The pur-
chase price is over $4,000 cash. This
railway company is quietly taken in the
best developed of the coal mines, and it
is now an assured fact that the Utah 4
Northern branch of the Northern Pacific
will toot its whistle in Bozeman before
June next. In addition to the above
purchase the Union Pacific have recently
acquired the Maxey mine for cash con-
sideration of 5000, and the purchase of
the Mcintyre mine is practically perfect
ed, it is understood. The line of the
Utah Northern will come down the JEFF
ferson where they have some grading
done, and up the Gallatin to their coal
mines, and be extended up to the Ma
tional Park either by the West Gal'at'n
or over the Trail creek pass an zap 'ne
