Day by day the situation between
the p, w. & B. and Ii. & D. railroads,
grows more interesting, at times quite
EN- mbarAssing. In speaking fthe stu.
tion the PbiladeIphia North American
says:
No practical change occurred In this
city yesterday in the situation between
the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Companies. The
latter received an invoice Of Its own
tickets from Philadelphia TO Washing
ton and points south, and sold them In
lieu Of those Of the Pen nsy lvania issue.
General Passenger Agent Wood, of the
Pennsy sylvania Road, blocked this move
by giving the ticket examiners orders
not to allow holders Of Baltimore and
Ohio tickets to pass through the gates
Of the Broad street Station.
When Passenger Agent Mackenzie, of
the Baltimore & Ohio, learned this he
quietly said: "If that is the case, We
will just give the passengers 81 80 and
allow them to buy Pennsylvania local
tickets to Baltimore" Mr.. Mackenzie
added that he had received advices
from New York TO the effect that pas
ssngers by the Baltimore and Ohio from
Chicago for New York and the east
were being carried over the Niagara
Falls Short Line Of the Baltimore and
Ohio to Auburn Junction, thence by
the Wabash to Detroit, and the rest OF
the way by the Grand Trunk. For
points west passengers are ticketed out
Of New York over the Buffalo and
West Shore. From New York and
points east passengers are carried from
this city over the Bound Brook Road
and its connections.
As 1t was impossible to Immediately >
recall the Instructions given under the
Pennsylvania Roads new schedule
without the endangering Of lives, the
Court has suspended the restraining
order until this morning, when argu'
.bent will be heard.
CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company to-day no
titled Ihe agents of the steamships com
panies here that II would pay 20 pel
cent. comm ission on all emigrant bust
ness over its line, both from New Yorh

1t stimulates our pride by its pomp

stands amongst the ablest preachers In

Another Curious Watermelon

Sometime ago mention was made of a
watermelon which, upon being opened
by lady In this city, was fourd to con-
tain round ball resembling cauta-
loupe, which was quite curiosity.
Old growers of this favorite fruit stated
that they had never saw anything like
1t, but its counterpart has been found,
as the following from the Sussex Jour.
nal will show:
Paynter Frame, Esq, found on cut
ting one Of his watermelons recently q
curiosity in the shape of two balls of
hard substance imbeded in The centre
of the same. The outer surface OF the
balls was smooth ard they seemed to
be of a substance distinct from that of
the melor. The smaller ball was on
top Of and attached to the larger one,
which WIS about the size of an apple
The meat of the melon Immediately
around them WAS OF the usual red color
and was as swt ct and delicious as that
of any other melon, except that at the
top of the smaller ball it was the least
bit stringy.

Gently purchased in the east for Paris
Gibson q Son, of Fort Benton, arrived
in Helena last Wednesday and will
be started to Benton tomorrow. Two
heeces, taken from a yearling eve

day IN the show window of Cans &
Klein's store and attracted no little
attention. That from the " weighed
fifteen pounds and the one from the
ram weighed twenty-six pounds. The
average fleece of ordinary Montana
stock sheep weighs only about q
pounds. The wool from the Spanish

Coy administered the finishing blow
on his opponents neck, knocking him
insensible, in which condition he re-
manned, unable to respond to the call
of ''time." Three thousand specta-
tors witnessed the brutal exhibition.
Reports agree that the vanquished
bruiser was punished dangerously, and
not unlikely he may die of his injuries.
Public morals are sadly demoralized
when, without protest or Interference,
an occurrence like that of Sunday is
permitted within sight of Butte and
the cluster of mining camps which are
of one and the same community. The
time is near when public opinion will
manifest itself strongly enough against
brutalities Of this order. 1t is safe
to say that another session of the
Legislature will not pass without the
enactment Of a law which will render
prize-hghting impossible, except by
stealth, within the limits Of Montana.

The Wool Growers Speak.
I~NIinneanolis LonrnnI-l

minneapolis Journal
The wool growers national conven
ton at Chicago yesterday loudly de.
manded the restoration of the wool
tariff of 1867, under which the indus
try so abundanlly prospered. The
development of sheep raising in this
country began with the levy of the
protection duty of that year, and SO
far from the duty enhancing the price
to the consumer, it actually resulted
in a reduction of prices. The industry
developed SO rapidly that the man
ufacturers were soon able to get
American wool at competitive prices,
and so it will be with any industry
that IS developed by judicious pro
lection. Since the abolition of this
tariff by the act of 1888, the wool
industry has already shown signs
of depression and decay. The sta
tistics compiled by the association
show that the wool clip Of 1883,
incurred a loss of over $4,000, 900
as compared with the clip of 1882,
and a much greater loss predicted
for 1884. The wool growers claim
that the climatic conditions of Aus
tralla are so much more favorable to
sheep raising than those of the United
States that Americans will have to
abandon this Industry for other per.
suits unless protected. The c%onven-
ton resolved to act independently in
politics, and to refuse support to any
party or candidate whose position is
not clearly defined in favor of the
restoration Of the tariff of 1867.
The sheep raising industry has in
vested in it $780, 200, 900 in real estate.
1t employs over I ,ooo,o 900 hockmasters
and adds over $G5o,ooo,ooo annually
the national wealth. Such an in
cannot be antagonized by any
party with IMMUNITY.
