Peculiar IncendiarIsm.

The series of incendiary fires that was
inaugurated here last winter and is still
continuing, is perhaps one of the most re-
markable affairs of this kind that ever ex-
i,sted. No motives that would ordinarily
inspire such deeds seem to have had any
part in provoking the fires that have lately
occurred.
1t is noticeable that all our fires, with
but one exception, have occurred on calm
nights; that they have all originated in
livery or private stables; that they have
all occurred between the hours of and IL
p. m; that no direct evidence Of what
combustibles were used in starting them
has been discovered; that the majority of
them have taken place on the east side of
city; that the incendiary has directed his
attacks against no particular person or per-
sons; and lastly, that the origin of AL of
them has been kept a profound secret.
From all these circumstances we can draw
no conclusion as TO the motive that in
spires such outrages, except that they are
perpetrated by some imbecile creature
simply for the fun and excitement he
could get by watching the fire. But the
fact that he takes such good care to pre-
vent discovery seems to preclude the idea
of insanity or imbecility. AT all events, if
he is mad there is remarkably cunning
method in his madness

Marriage Bells.

We are in receipt of the Poughkeepsie
New York Daily Eagle, of the Sth inst
containing the announcement of the mar
riage of Governor Carpenters daughter,
Nina, the evening previous, to Mr.. Albert
L. Tower, ct St. Paul's church in that city.
The church was beautifully trimmed with
evergreens and flowers for the occasion, and
the marriage ceremony was performed by
Bishop Scarborough.
There was brilliant marriage train and
delightful music lent its charms to the oc-
Casion. Governor Carpenter led his daugh-
ter to the altar and gave her in marriage
to whom he believed to be worthy of her.
A reception at the Carpenter mansion
followed, but only for the family. There
were magnificent presents of gold and sill
verware, hand-painted china sets, oil paint
ings, diamonds, bank checks, etc.
The same evening the bride and groom
took the train for the South and started
on their journey Of life.
In behalf of many interested Friends in
Montana, we extend our hearty congratu-
la;ions and good wishes for a long life OF
happiness and prosperity.

THE firing and destruction of Beach's
stable on Rodney street Saturday evening
was beyond doubt the work of an incen-
diary again, whose diabolical work has
covered our city all over with black spots,
and bids fair to complete our destruction
unless arrested. In most instances so far,
the fires have occurred at times favorable
for extinction, by reason of there being but
little wind and so early that everybody has
been up and ready to respond quickly to
the call But the situation is becoming
intolerable and calls for universal and des-
perate action. The incendiaries can and
must be found, cost what it may of ex-
pense and vigilance. As one thing that
demands attention of the citv government.
There niust Dc a tncfoGsh Inspection vi III
premises, so that opportunities for setting
fires may be removed wherever possible 1t
is an emergency that requires unusual
watchfulness and precaution until the
guilty perpetrators are discovered and re-
moved. The situation is one equivalent to
that which justifes declaration of martial
law. Ever out-building in the city should
be carefully inspected, and if necessary
every resident should be drafted for duty
until the danger that has destroyed our
peace and security has passed. 1t is an
emergency that requires the cooperation
of all. Our city and county authorities
ought to lead in this matter, and there is
no time to spare. The fact that these fires
have been going on so long and that no
clue to the perpetrators has yet been found,
does not speak well for our officers or the
vigilance Of our citizens We have not
| risen yet to the demands of the situation,
and worse will follow unless there is a gem
eral rising en- masse, cessation of all other
business if need be, and the arrest of every
person in the city who cannot give salts
factory account of himself 1t is matter
that concerns every one, and its importance
overshadows all other questions.

Union Meetings.

A series of union meetings, which are to
continue for three weeks, were inaugurated
last night by Rev. L. W. Munhall, an
evangelist of great repute. The Opera
House was crowded, every available seat
both in the auditorium and gallery being
occupied. The gentleman was assisted by
the clergymen of the various religious de-
nominations of our city, and full chorus
of voices, composed of our best musical
talent. The exercises consisted of preach
ing, prayer and singing.
Mr.. Munhall addressed the assemblage,
and after giving notice of the time and
place of meetings during their continuance,
stated the object and desired effect in hold
ing them. He invites everyone TO attend
irrespective of creed, the object, he said
being not to make converts to any particu-
lar church, bnt to prevail on those who are
not Christians TO become such and confess
Christ.
The gospel meetings will he held at the
Opera House at 7:3O p. m, city time every
day Of this week, excepting Saturday, and
Bible readings will be held every afternoon
this week, Saturday excepted, az 3 o'clock
in the Presbyterian church.
Mr.. Munhall has come out here to chris
tianize Helena, and he says he will do it
with the help Of God and the cooperation
OF the church members of our city.
