Stanley on Missionaries.

LONDON, May 2S.-The Baptist Mission
airy society gave a breakfast to-day to
Stanley, the African explorer. In an adj
dress Stanley was thanked for opening up
the way to Christianity in Africa, and for
helping the missionaries to secure stations
and to extend the influence OF their teach
ings. Stanley in his reply said that he was
glad to lave had an opportunity of helping
the missionaries, and OF obtaining in return
their help to teach the natives. Formerly
he did not understand the missionaries.
However, since that he had seen Livingston
and he had recognized in him Il type of no.
BILE and spiritual manhood. The real work
of missionaries was hard. his privations
great, his worldly reward small. In concl,l-
sion Stanley expressed the hope that the
Congo country would soon be supplied with
missionaries, and urged the society to be
very careful about what kind Of men they
sent out as missionaries to Africa. "Do
not he said. .'send young men without
first having taught them the practical life
necessary to success, the amc as yuutearh
children you wish to live long"

WHO WAS RIGHT?
Trial OF Nora Anderson for Assaulting
Ella Smith Decision Withheld.

The trial OF Nora Anderson, charged with
assaulting Ella Smith, a half-witted woman
who lives in the Travonia district, south
west OF the city, took place before Judge
French yesterday, in the presence OF quite
a thrOng OF curious and interested specta-
tors. The defendant, who, although only
Ia years OF age, is married, attracted con-
siderable attention. She was accompanied
by Attorney Mcbride, and the prosecution
was conducted by City Attorney Smith.
There were a cloud OF witnesses, and their
testimony was rather conflicting. Summed
up, it appears that Ella Smiths consider a
bic OF a nuisance, and since her advent into
the neighborhood has made things rather
lively for all the folks, boil great and small.
She begun by %tyranizing over the small
boys, and after the manner of youth, they
retalIated whenever opportunity Offered,
and she licked them when she got a chance.
Naturally, the mothers of the childrentoOk
their part, and Ella became a common and
abusive scold. Some time ago she assaulted
the mother and little brother of Nora, and
the young woman concluded to take a
chance at the yirago ut the first Oppor-
tunity. This occurred Thursday. Nora
was watering some flowers when Ella came
along and used some unmentionableepithet
regarding Morals mother. The latter
responded by throwing a dipper OF water
on the assailant, and a set-to occurred, in
which Nora came out the victor. There
was any quantity Of testimony, and il good
address by each Of the able counsel, after
which the Judge took the matter under adj
visement, and will render his decision Mon
day morning. Several persons who reside
in the vicinity state that until Ella toOk up
her residence there, quiet reigneh, but since
that time here has been continuous trouble.

THE F. G SPRINGS.
Wealthy Parties Anxious to Purchase
Them and Erect Magniii ent Baths.

During the week Il party Of wealthy gem
tlemen from San Francisco have been in
Butte. Their movements have been very
quiet, but it has leaked out that the Dur-
pose of their visit is to purchase the hot
springs at Gregson, some twenty-five miles
northwest Of Butte. 1t is reliably stated
that they have made an offer OF $4,000
for the plant, and that the Offer is now
under the consideration OF the owners of
the property.
In case the sale is effected, the new owners
will abandon the old houses. md go about
q mile from the headwaters of the springs
where they can secure II desirable location
for the erection Of Il large hotel, bath houses
and cottages. They propose to expend
$4,000 in these improvements, on the
start.
The Gregson springs are only Il mile from
the railroad. Physicians of the highest
standing have pronounced the waters OF
uneNceptiOnal medicinal merit. Should've
purchase be made, and everything pointst to
that contamination, the Gregson springs
will soon become Il very popular resort,
and the enterprise is certain to be il rcmu-
n%crativc one.

Sullivan Don't Want the Family.

Boston. May 2S.-Thc suit against John
l.. Sullivan, brought by his wife for divorce,
attracted an immense audience Of pugilists
and admirers. The testimony given by
Mrs. Sullivan and other witnesses for the
plaintiff went to show that Sullivan was
abusive and addicted to an excessive use Of
liquor, and that he has beaten his wife on
several occasions. Sullivan testified that
he had never been drunk, though often full.
He swore he had never struck his wife, and
that the latter was in the habit OF drinking
whenever he did. She left him on December
Is, 1854, and he had never seen her since
until he met her in the court. When asked
if he had any trouble about her relations,
he made the following reply, which causeda
general laugh, and even caused the Judge to
smile several times: Il had no objection to
supporting two or three OF her relations,
but did not propose to support the whole

The College of Montana.

Rev. ID. j. Mcmillan, ID. D., President OF
the College of Montana, at Deer Lodge,
favored The MINER with Il pleasant call
last evening. He reports that the college is
in a very lourishing condition, with seventy
six students, about equally divided as to
sex, in regular attendance, and all very
jealous in the pursuit of knowledge. He
says that the board Of trustees will soon
let the contract for the building of Il dormi-
tory, to contain seventy bed rooms, and
to cost. including the furniture, about $25,-
600. DR.. Mcmillan is satisfied that Il
School of Sciences will soon be successfully
established, with especial attention to the
departments of assaying and mining en-
ginccring. \ Especial course in English liter
ature will also be established. 1t is evident
that President Mcmillan is the right man
i'm the right place, and that the college will
steadily grow in usefulness under his
guidance.

..FOH THEIR BABIES SAKES."
Tears and Prayers Fail to Move a Judge
Mothers Jailed for Perjury.

MADISON, Wis, May 2S.-Mrs. Rebecca
Merraot, OF Baraboo, and Mrs. Margaret
NJ. Cooley, OF Mitchell, Oak, sisters, yester-
day pleaded guilty to the charge Of perjury.
They nave been sentenced to two years in
States prison. Each woman when sen
fenced had an infant in her arms. kneeling
at the feet of the Judge they piteous1y
pleaded for mercy 'for their babies' sakes."
The scene was very affecting. Judge Bra
ley, with tears in his eyes, said the law was
memorable. but he would fix the least pen
atty prescribed. The women then prayed
and uttered terrible shrieks as they were
finally cmoved by the officers. They said
that a man named Kirby had threatened
their lives il they did not swear as they did,
and that they had for years lived immortal
terror OF him. Both are respectable women.
Their babies accompany them to the peni-
tertiary. These women are sisters OF the
wife OF James Kirby, alias Simmons, a well
known cracksman, who, with another man
named Edwards, was last November SEN
fenced to States prison i'll Wisconsin for
five years for burglary in Madison. At the
trial of Kirby these women swore that
they were in Baraboo the night of the
burglary. and that Kirby was also there.
