How u Montreal Father Fought for H84
Sick Child.

MONTREAL, November "A few days ago
sanitary officers proceeded to the residence
OF IL man named Gagnon to remove his
child which was sick with smallpox. Meet
ing with resistance a warrant was issued.
The officer was met by Gagnon with q load
ed revolver in each hand. He threatened
to shoot the officer if he crossed the thresh.
hold. The officer, not being armed, retired.
A second warrant was taken on the charge
of Threatening to shoot" Constable
Brandon with a single companion again
tried to serve the warrant, but this time
found Gagnon and his wife armed, both of
them carrying !
REVOLVER IN EACH HAND.
The officers once more retired. Next night
Sergeants Mason and Carpenter, accom-
panied by six constables, surrounded the
house. After the men had been properly
placed in front and rear, the Sergeants
passed through the kitchen door and found
themselves in a low, narrow passage with
another door at the end. This was sud-
denly thrown open and Gagnon and his
wife appeared again armed. Aparley took
place, but to no use as they threatened to
SHOOT THE FIRST MAN THAT ADVANCED.
The officers held consultation, when the
inner door suddenly opened and bullet
whizzed in close proximity to the Sergeant's
head. The officers quickly got outside,
and at this moment one of the up-staiEs
windows was thrown open and two more
shots discharged at the police. Though on
the first appearance OF the constable there
was no one around, by this time there was
dense crowd of sympathizers, and Ser
geants Moran and Carpenter now formed
their men in line, at the same time shout
ing that they would shoot the first man at
tempting to dispute their passage. They
then departed, leaving Gagnon for the
third time victorious. The health officials
will to-day consult as to the advisa bility
of taking the house by storm.

IDAHO'S INTERESTS.
Governor Stevenson Paints q Nice Picture
of the Territory.

WASHINGTON, November 5. - Edward
Stevenson, Governor of Idaho, has made
his annual report to the Secretary OF the
Interior upon the condition of affairs in
that Territory during the past year. He
says the crops of this year will be placed
at half a crop az compared with that OF
1888. Notwithstanding the rapidly in
creasing population, the products OF the
soil are amply sufficient to meet the wants
of the people and leave small surplus Tor
export. The Governor points to the ne
vey lines in the northwestern portion of
the Territory. so that settlers may locate
in that section.
THE MINING INTERESTS
are said to be in q very prosperous cendi-
ton, and rich mineral districts are being
discovered, prospected and worked with
great success. The Wood river mineral
belt is yielding ore assaying from 100 to
$50 ounces. The great Salmon river basin
continues it's outpouring OF gold and silver
as in former years. The new lava district
is fast coming to the front. The holiness OF
the working season has retarded the devel-
opment of rich and extensive mines i'll Saw
tooth district, but when opened and worked
these mines are expected to take a place
among the best paying on the Pacific coast.
The Governor says that not half the truth
has been told of the richness and extent OF
the mines on Snake river.
THE CEUR D'ALENE SECTION.
receives most favorable mention. The
Lost River copper mines, according to ex'
pert testimony, are remarkably rich.
The financial condition of the Territory
is said to be satisfactory. The amount OF
cash on hand exceeds the Territorial debt
by $500. The total assessed value Oi
property for 1884 was 81, 100000 over
the preceding years.
A strong plea is made for a liberal con-
struction OF the desert land act. The pop.
ulation OF the Territory is set down at
IS, 900 and the value of the gold and silver
product during the past year is estimated
at IS 1885, 900.

EADS, GREAT SCHEM K.
An Effort Being Made to Boom the Isth-
mus Ship RatlSvay.

ST. LOUIS, November 5.-About fifty lead
ing and respectable citizens met at the
Southern Hotel tonight to consider the
question OF building ship railway across
the Isthmus of Tehauntepec according to
the plans proposed by Captain James B.
Eads, of this city. A dozen speeches were
made, all heartily endorsing the project.
Resolutions were unanimously adopted
cordially endorsing the railway project
and the Tehauntepec as the one to be
adopted. declaring the commercial inter-
ests, not only OF the Mississippi Valley,
but the whole country demanded that the
isthmus barrier be removed so that the
Pacific Coast and the Orient may be
brought within easy reach OF the Atlantic
seaboard, and urgently commencing the
railway enterprise to the present Admins
tration and to Congress that the support
and assistance OF both should be given it,
and calling the attention OF active business
men in all sections OF the country to the
immense Importance of the railway and re-
questing them to cooperate in bringing the
matter to the consideration OF the Govern
ment and OF Congress. A committee OF six
leading citizens, headed by ex-Congressman
Stansrd, was appointed to personally pre-
sent the resolutions to the President and
to Congressman generally.

THE MURDERED CHINAMAN.
No Clue, But Many Theories as to His
Murderers and Their Objects.

New YORK, November 5.-The mutilated
body of the murdered Chinaman, Chong
Ong, was buried in Evergreen Cemetery TO-
day. Among the Police and people ac-
quainted with the habits OF the Chinese,
there are many theories in regard
to the murder. The prevailing
one is that it is the work OF some of
Chong Ong's Chinese customers, who
knowing his habit of leaving his place in
the middle of the day and his reputation
of having a considerable amount OF money
in his possession, went there solely for the
purpose of robbery, and when surprised
committed the murder. a man who has
spent much time among the Chinese on the
Pacific coast and is here, advances novel
theory Hesays that every Chinaman who
comes to this country binds himself to the
Chinese Six Companies, first to obey, under
all circumstances, the laws of the Imperial
Chinese Government, and next those of the
Six Companies. He says it is no uncom-
mon thing for Chinaman to disappear in
San Francisco or to be butchered in cold
blood, and the Chinese there in such cases
not only make no effort to punish the
criminal, but will use all possible efforts to
shield the "Highbinders," as those murder
ers are called.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
What Pre- sident johnson and General Kew
Thought.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, November 4.-To-day
Colonel Howard, well known in this city,
and colonel in the late war, gave a re-
porter an incident OF peculiar interest.
He said: ''In 1866, when President An
drew Johnson was swing ing around the cir
Gle, he stopped in Cincinnati and made an
address. Afterwards he entered a room at
the Spencer House occupied by Judge
Thomas Marshall Key, Colonel OF the
United States volunteers and Judge Advo.
cate OF the Army OF the Potomac. There
were present besides Judge Key and myself,
General jeff c. Davis. General j. c. Sted
man, General Custer and General Rosecrans
Of the Union Army. There We're also pres
ent besides Generals Gordon and Youngand
several Southern men, including Dick Stan
ton, OF Marysvile. KY. During the conver-
sation President Johnson said, turning to
Southern gentleman "If the people OF
the South elect Representatives and send
them to the House they shall belseated at
all hazards even ii it has to be done by
force OF arms"
Judge Key sprang to his feet and facing
the Southern gentlemen said: "Don't for
one moment hug any such delusion as that
to your bosoms. Such an attempt would
create an uprising at the North besides
which that following the firing on Fort
Sumpter would prove a mere baby
Then the conversation on that subject
ceased, but I remember the remarks OF
President Johnson and Judge Key very
tinctly."

A Battle Thought to be Imminent
The Position of Russia.

VIENNA. November 5.-King Milan con-
tinues to actively prepare for war and is
making arrangements in the event OF hos
tilities breaking out to advance from Per-
lot to Sofia, the capital OF Bulgaria. The
Servian Premier, NJ. Grachinine, is prepar-
ing to cross the Timak river, which divides
Bulgaria and Servia, with strong force in
to the Widder districts. A forced conflict
between Servians and Bulgarians will prob
ably be brought on by an attempt to pre-
vent the advance Of King Milan and his
force on the road to Sofia. Widder will be
attacked by force, under NJ. Grachinine,
only in case King Milan defeats Prince
Alexander. Russia expects that the Serv-
ans will be victorious. Ii Servia succeeds
in taking Sofia and Widder, Russia will in
tervene and insist that King Milan with
draw behind the Servia-Bulgarian frontier,
following the lines as indicated by the
treaty of San Stefano.

broke into the house of George Peck, jr.,

years old, widow, who has been confined
in room there over two years. She was
locked in little room, which was filthy
in the extreme, and filed with the most
dreadful stencil. The woman was covered
with rags and the floor was strewn with
bones, from which she had picked what
meat was given her. On a plate was her
single daily meal. It consisted OF cold salt
mackerel and cold potatoes. She was re-
moved to the Poor House. She is the
widow of Aaron Brooks, a soldier of the

falling into the hands OF Peck, who is a dis
tant relative. After making the transfer
she was surprised to find that the township
