A Successor Wanted.

Butte, Mont, January 24'-The peo-
pie of Montana are getting impatient
at the delay in appointing a successor
to Judge Conger, whose term expired
January 10, and who, it will be remem
bered, was suspended some time ago.
Business in the supreme court of the
territory is at a standstill, as litigants
are unwilling to submit their cases to a
tribunal consisting of two judges, one
of whom presided at the court below.
1t is hoped that a Montanian will be
appointed to fill the vacancy at an early
day.

Panic In School.

New York, January 24.-The coping
and top Of the rear wall of the Hebrew
free school on East Broadway fell this
morning on the roof of the extension
two stories below in which were fifty
children ranging in age from 3 to 7
years, School was in session. The
wall crushed through the skylight into
the class room, throwing the children
wild with fright and iDjuring several
slightly. Their screams aroused the
neighbors and frantic mothers rushed
In clamoring for their children. The
teachers did their best to stay the
panic, but yielded before the rusL of
the excited mothers. each of whom
seized her own child and carried it
away. For a time great excitement
prevailed, and a teacher vas injured
about the head, and five or six children
cut and bruised, but none seriously.

Egyptian Affairs.

London, January 24-Samuel W.
Baker VINO commanded the first ex-
petition for the suppression of the
slave trade In Central Africa, under
the auspices of Ismael Pasha, former
Khedive, says General Gorden and
myself recently agreed thoroughly upon
the course now forced upon the En-
glish ministery by events In Egypt. 1
fear it is now TOO late to fulfill the
programme which would have saved
much misery and blood shed had it
been adopted two months ago. Our
cowardly abandonment Of Soudan has
encourag ed disloyalty and has broken
the spirit of both officers and troops.
The employment of General Gordon at
this time is like %summoning q hre
brigade after the building has beeE
consumed.

Mount Caymel, Ills, January "a
Bushrod W. Malone, a wealthy money
broker, was murdered here within a
few feet Of his W gate in the most
public thoroughfare in the city at 6
O'Clock Tuesday evening. Along that
portion of the street is a row of low
silver poplars which make the walk
shaded and dark even on light nights.
The assailant used a blunt instrument
and was evidently bent on murder, as
any n of the three or four blows
dealt to the victim would have occa-
stoned death. Malone died without
giving any signs. No clue to the muir
dersr, and the motive unknown.

at Is a fire damp mine" said Super
intendent Cameron, who is now in
Denver, land it seems to constantly
generate the most deadly gases. They
seem to generate in the coal, or under
1t, and pour out of the seams in the
walls of the tunnels and shafts, yet the
mine is the most perfectly ventilated In
the world. Air is forced In the long
shaft by means of machinery. No less
than fifty.six Thousand cubic feet of
fresh air is forced into the mine every
minute. This is quite sufficient to
fully supply the wants of the miners
and keep the air perfectly pure, unless
some accident happens to cut off or in
terfere with the supply. This is a
greater amount of fresh air than is fur
nished to any other mine in the coun-
try.
Superintendent Cameron added (:
We send a mine viewer through every
chamber each morning before any of
the men are allowed to go In. He
must have returned this morning be-
fore the workmen started In and every
thing must have been all right when he
passed the workings. John Mcneil,
state mine Inspector, left for the scene
of the disaster this afternoon. He a Y
he has no doubt that every man in the
mine at the tine of the explosion was
instantly killed. At this hour, 10
O'Clock, no bodies have been recovered.
The Tribune has just received news
that the exploring party has almost
reached chamber No. 2 and has dis
covered one dead body with the skull
broken and the body terribly bruised
and blackened. The gas is still very
bad in the mine, and the passage ways
are so blocked up that progress is very
slow. Everything possible is being
done to reach the bodies as speedily as
possible. All hope of finding any of
the buried miners alive has long since
been abandoned. Threats were made
this morning against Superintendent
Robinson and Gibson, the mine boss,
principally against the latter, and
trouble is feared. Robinson is
at the mine experimenting the work of
searching for the bodies. No special
are entertained for his safety, but
a strong guard has been placed about
the residence of Gibson to prevent any
violence. The threats do not come
from men engaged in the mine, but
some who have been discharged take
opportunity to make trouble. The
at the mine is a most pitiful one.
The wives and children Of the buried
men still hover around the entrance to
mine, and their lamentations add to
the distressing scene.

London, January PA tug land
ed at Waterford tonight with nine of
the Ceramics passengers. One of
them says that after the shaft was
broken there was considerable exotic
ment, especially among the steerage
passengers, but the vessel behaved 80
well and the captain was 80 confident,
that the passengers decided to remain
when the Westerland offered assist
ance. The sea was very high at times,
and the ship lay as If helpless. On the
22nd instant there was a fearful hurri-
cane, the seas sweeping over the vessel,
and when darkness set in the passen-
gers had almost given up hope. The
passengers highly praised the conduct
Of the captain and other officers OF the

ing time last year of $685., 4s0. Owing
the improved condition of the roadbed
and equipment, the decrease in run
ming expenses has been much larger
propcrtionately than the falling of in
earnings.
The number Of miles of road in oper-
alton is 1,340.
The report says: at may be said that
the opening up of competing lines has
had the effect of depriving US of that
growth In business and increase in
earnings which we would have had II
these lines had not been opened, but
they have not deprived us of anything
we had before such other lines were
opened"
The regular quarterly dividends of
II per cent. have been declared from
the earnings, without impairment of
the surplus. The statement of the
earnings, upon which the last dividend
was declared, shows that the gross earn
ings for the quarter were S. 66, 521;
the operating expenses and taxes were
S2,6S3, 739, and the surplus left over
after paying the dividend, s542, 5s5.
Notwithstanding the general depres-
sion in business, the surplus of the road
for November was 81, 1872 over the same
month of 1882. The company continue
their complaint to the government
against the decision of the courts, which
applies not only to the earnings of the
main line for government service, but
the earnings for government service of
the whole system.

Fatal Drunken Elnht.

Louisville, January 24.-The Cour-
ier-Journal's Auburn, KY, special con
tains an account of a tragedy which
occurred at that point, in which Harry
Bronson and George HRrdison were
killed by each other in a street fight.
The killing had its origin in whisky
and a family feud dating back sixteen
years, when James Hardison, father of
George, killed Bronson's father with a
broadax. The intestines of both men
were cut out. Both belonged to very
wealthy families. More trouble Is ex-
pected.

Batavia, N. Y, January 24.-Cor-
oner Lossier testified in the Rowell
murder trial to-day. He said that after
the shooting he went to the house.
Rowell asked him If he had examined
the body, and being told Lynch was
dead he appeared grieved. Witness

containing a good sized stone, which
was found in the house. Blood stains
were upon the stocking. There was an
abrasion of the skin on Mrs. Rowell's
forehead, extending up into the hair,

Professor Rice, of New York, says that
all fish are cannibals, in the sense that
they eat each other, and their own eggs or
young. For the past year he has been in
vestigating the internal economy Of fishes
in order to learn what their food is and
also to determine their breeding seasons.
He examined over COCO fishes, and found
that the cod and the bluetish are the most
omnivorous. Young striped bass feed
mainly upon crustaceans, and the older
ones on alewives and menbaden. In the
stomachs Of a cod little Of everything
that is in tho water was fouDd-stoDes,

an inch and a-half square was taken. The
professor thinks that fish do not eat much
