BAD LUCK.
An Accident Throws Reynolds Out of
the Skating Match.

The interest taken by the people of
Butte in the fortunes of Reynolds,
the plucky representative of Mon
tana, in the great six days skating
match now in progress in New York,
received a severe shock last night.
All had faith in his honesty and
ability and during the entire day
there were anxious inquiries from all
sources to know how he was getting
along, but no news came until about
$50 p. M, and then it vas very bad
news indeed and caused general re-
gret ut the mishap. At the hour
named dispatches were simulta-
neously received by Rotert Grix,
from Mr.. Stevenson, and by Tony
Ward from FL. M. Fox, both of the
same tenor and reading as follows:
"Reynolds left track for good this
q. m. with 327 miles to his credit.
Cause, collision with Hartman"
The news, like all bad news, spread
rapidly and was soon the topic of
conversation in the places where men
most c%ongregate. Various opinions
were expressed and much indigna-
ton felt at the affair, many not hest
tatipg to declare that IN their opinion
1T was the result of design instead Of
accident. They argued that Rey-
holds had gone there to do square
work and insisted on doing it, while
the others, OF a majority of them,
were IN q hippodrome scheme. Be
it as it may no one here thought of
accusing their favorite Of doing
wrong.

THEY MUST 60.
The BuncO Men to be Tried on Thurs.
day.

Ever since the arrest of the five
men charged with robbing a stranger
in the Rink saloon, on the sure-thing
racket, by means of a dice scheme,
the accused have been s0rely troubled
and have been making various efforts
to square the matter. Three are out
OH bail and two languish in Jail, and
there has been a continuous run of
interested parties between the saloon,
the Justices office and the Jail, and
all manner of suggestions and re-
quests have been urged to secure
some action. Up to yesterday tine
officials refused to do anything; but
it has, it appears, been finally decided
to give the parties q hearing. Yester-
day afternoon the accused, by coun-
sci, appeared before Justice Nichols,
who, pleading not guilty for his eli
ents, requested that an early date be
fixed for trial. The Judge, after hear
ing the statement, fixed upon Thurs
day morning, at 10 o'clock, at which
time and place the hearing Will be
held. Roth sides will be represented
by able counsel, and it Is expected
the trial will be watched with inter.
est by all good people. The officials
are determined to rid the city of the
bunko and sure-thing men, and 1t
will take more than ordinary acumen
on the part of the defending lawyers
to secure an acquittal. The crooks
must 90.

The Wire still Down.

WINNIPEG, May 1.-THE wire is
still down between Quappelle and
Humboldt, and no further, word has
come from the fort. Great anxiety
is felt. A Saskatchewan Landing
dispatch says an order was issued
last night by General Laurie that
the entire corps of the Seventh Fusi-
Tiers and two companies Of the Mid
land battalion should proceed at
once for Clark's Crossing. They left
this morning at s O'Clock on twelve
barges. The force numbers nearly
$50 men, under command of Colonel
Deacon. They expect to reach
Clark's in about five days. Two
companies of the Halifax battalion
will leave Swift Current for this
point tonight, reaching here to'mor-
row evening. They will remain till
further orders. Another small de-
tachment of mounted men has gone
from Brittle to join Colonel Bsulton.
Private advices from Quappelle
say that trouble Is still apprehended
from the Indians In that vicinity.
There Is q strong enough force there
for defense.

Miss Sophie Duncan il a very clever

Miss Fannie Wood received a per-
feet ovation on her first appearance
at the Arion last evening. Hell cos
tunes were most magnificent and
her acts of a superior character. She
gave a few of the songs of her repor-
toire and a recitation. She does not
resort to any of the ''tricks of the
trade" but depends solely upon her
art and perfect voice for success. She
has a leaning to old songs and famil-
lar ones, and carries her audience
with her, perhaps largely by the very
familiarity of the tunes. Her en-
gagement at the AriOn will only be q
repetition of her accustomed tri-
umphs.

Dynamiters on Trial.

LONDON, May 1.-THE trial of
Cunningham and Burton for an
alleged completely in the dynamite
outrages at Westminster Hall and
the Tower of London, begun this
morning in the Central Criminal
Court. The trial takes place before
Sir Henry Hawkins. Very little
public interest is manifested in the
the trial. A panel of 100 jurors was
summoned from which to secure a
jury for the trial. The defense was
allowed t~hirty-ive challenges but
only fifteen men were objected to be-
fore a jury was obtained. After the
jury had been sworn, Attorney
General James opened the case for
the prosecution. He stated that they
expected to prove that Cunningham
was guilty of causing the explosion
at the Tower and the author of the
outrage at the Victoria railway
station. The trial has been adjourned
until tomorrow. The evidence sub
mitted was only a repetition of the
testimony at the preliminary trial.

A BAD run OF c
One steamer Company Loses Four
Boats In ~ Many Years.

HALIFAX, May 1.-THE White
Cross Line Belgian steamer, "Hel-
vetia.' with a general cargo, which
started from Antwerp on April 23d
for Montreal, sunk off Scatteria,
Cape Brenton, on Saturday. This is
the fourth steamer of that line which
has been lost within as many years.
One steamer. August G. ANDRE"
sailed from New York for Antwerp
and a never heard of in the fall of
1888; the Herman Ludwig" sailed
from Montreal for Antwerp, with q
crew of thirty men and a valuable
cargo and that was the last heard of
her ; only thirteen months ago the
Daniel Steinmann /" crushed o the
rocks at Sambo Island and 124 lives
were lost. The "Helvetia" makes the
fourth vessel that has met with dis
aster. A rather remarkable cOinci-
dence is that Captain SchO0nhaven,
who commanded the "DAniel Stem
mann" "a also in command OF the
"Helvetia" and this was the first
passage across the Atlantic which he
has made since the wreck of the
"Steinman." The "Helvetia" ar
rived in the Gulf of st. Laurence
over a week ago and has been knock
ing about in the ice for the last
seven or eight days. Her
bows were stove in, and she was
otherwise damaged by the ice. She
was leaking badly. On Friday Cap
tam Schoonhaven left Cape Ray and
bore up for Sydney, having all he
could do to keep the ship af1oat. On
Saturday a heavy sea spraug up and
he hailed the Allan Line steamer,
"Arcadian," which was passing.
The "Arcadian" took the "Helvetia''
in tow and headed for Louisberg, but
had not gone far before Captain
Schoonhaven called out that he was
sinking. The boats were lowered
and the passengers and crew got into
them as Don as possible, but none
too soon. The last boat had hardly
got clear before the "Helvetia"
careened over and sunk. The steamer
"Arcadian" then put back to Strait
Canso and landed the survivors at
Port H~awkesbury.

The School Property.

The trustees of school district, No.
l. have received an offer OF $4,000
for the Central school buildings and
grounds. It is not likely that the
offer will be considered, not being
thought a fair price for the property.
Property unimproved, in that neigh.
borhood, is considered worth at least
$40 per linear foot front. The school
property has a frontage Of 1872 feet on
West Broadway and the same on
West Park street, which, at the pre-
valling price, would make the
nronertv worth about 5000. The
sort of Improvement to be put upon
it should have weight in the sale.
Any pubic enterprise of any magnl-
tude should be encouraged.

WATER WAR.
Trouble Among the Miners at Ger
man 6ulch.

The alleged placer mines At Ger
man Gulch which have been located
and relocated for years, but which
have never been worked to any
alarming extent are just now the
scene of some excitement and may
get somebody into trouble. The inn
mediate cause of the trouble is
the water flume which was
built by II. E. Williams and A. A.
Smith and which it is alleged occu-
pied and injured the property of
other parties who proceeded to tear
away about three hundred feet of it.
AS . result, James Maberry, an en-
ploye of the firm, came to the city
Monday last and swore out q war
rant before Justice Lippincott,
charging certain parties with"tearing
down, breaking, destroying and car
rying away a water and wood flume
the property of Williams & Smith,"
The warrant was placed in the
hands If Constable Engel. who
In company with Deputy
Sheriff Nichols proceeded to the
gulch yesterday and arrested Charles
Carver, James Larkin and Jenner
Johnson and brought them to the
city where they were arraigned before
the Justice. They secured the ser
vices of counsel, plead not guilty and
asked for a continuance, which was
granted until Wednesday, May 20:h,
the accused giving bond in the sum
Of $500 each. The arrests were made
under the provisions of the celebrated
''gag law" and If pushed may have
the effect of deciding its constitutions
atty.
Each party claim that they are in
the right and when the officers
reached the spot they found the re-
tainers Of the two bands armed with
rifles and prepared to resort to blood
shed, if necessary, to protect their
rights. Indeed it looked as though q
battle would have been fought during
the day but for their arrival.
Thomas Ford, frank Carey and
Ed. Lonergan were named in the
warrant, but were not brought in.
Last night late a rumor was cur
rent through the city that hostilities
had commenced and that several
had been wounded, but it could
not be traced to any reliable source.

The Afghan Question.
LONDON, May l1.-Granville in the
House Of Lords, this afternoon,
replying to an interrogation put by
the Marquis of Salisbury %(conserva-
tive leader,) said the Government
was unable at present to make any
statement about their intentions
respecting the Soudan. In regard to
the Afghan boundary question,
Granville said q conference had been
held between himself, the Earl of
Kimberly, Secretary for India, and
Baron DeStaal, the Russian Minister,
at Soudan which resulted in an
agreement perfectly satisfactory to
England, Russia and Earl Dufferin.
Gladstone then stated that an
arrangement has been effected
between Earl Granville, Foreign
Secretary; ~Earl:Kimberly, Secretary
for India; Baron DeStaal, Russian
Minister to England and NJ. Lessar,
special Russian agent at London, in
regard to the Afghan frontier
arrangement, which was satisfactory
to her Majesty's Government and to
Earl Dutferin, Viceroy of India.
He hoped the arrangement would
be made subject to a convention with
Russia.

murder was perpetrated solely to OBJ
tain $500 or $500 which it was known
Carrusso had in his possession.
