The rule upon VIM. McDermott to show
cause why he should not be punished for
contempt was continued until to-day.
In the cases OF VIM. Edwards and VIM.
Davis, accused OF petit larceny of some
articles from a cabin neal the Presbyterian
Church, a jury and separate trials were
granted. There being no evidence for the
prosecution, by direction OF the Court, the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty in each
case.
JURY.
The next case was that OF William and
Martha Banks, indicted for robbing a man
in their cabin. District Attorney Dewitt
prosecuted and w. Y. Pemberton, by ap-
pointment, appeared for the defense. The
jury was e~mpannelled as follows: E. A.
Nichols, V. C. Whitney, G. W. Farlin, VIM.
Wharton, ]. B. Orr. J.. S. Peterson, JohnF
Cowan, W. V. Lawlor, George Tong, Enos
Carman, Jonathan Blake and s. M. Walker.
Judge Pemberton made an able defense and
at the conclusion OF the argument, about
$3.50, the case was given to the jury. There
must have been a material difference OF
opinion among the jurors, for they did not
reach a verdict until nearly midnight. At
that time the court was reeonvened the
verdict of mot guilty" returned and the
prisoners discharged.
OTHER BUSINESS.
In the case of Martin, indicted for muir
der at Anaconda, the motion for a contin-
uance on the ground that the prisoner had
not been delivered to the Sheriff of Silver
Bow three days prior to the opening Of the
term OF the court was overruled and an ex-
ception noted. The trial was set for June
| 4 and counse notified that further appIlca-
ton and afidavits for a continuance must
| be made and filed on or before May &c.
In the cases of E. III. Metcalf VS.. e. l..

Costly Evasion.

For a day OF two there has been a show
under a tent at the corner of Park and
Wyoming, the stock in trade being an edu.
Gated bear and a three-legged horse. 1t
appears that the owner has been showing
through the Territory without the for
mality OF paying his respects to the County
Treasurer. One of his recent stopping
places was Dillon, where he should have
contributed 81 to the county funds oil
Beaverhead. This he neglected to do, and
as a result Sheriff Jones t~elegraphed sheriff
Lloyd and the latter gentleman captured
the show and was about to 60 into bust
ness on his own hook. The delinquent
concluded that he would settle and was
much surprised to find that his bill had
grown from 81 to $40, but rather than &C
back he paid up. For fear OF a like acct
dent here he called upon the Treasurer ano
took out a lict nse.

Angry Waters.

QUINCY, ILL.,, May 16.-The Mississippi
river is higher tonight than ever before
known, except during the great flood of
1851. Rail communication with the west
is entire ly cut off, the tracks on all the
roads on the Missouri side of the river
being flooded. The bridges and trestles
are held down with trains of fat cars
loaded with railroad iron. Nearly every
levee in this section is now broken and
the losses to the farming interest will be
numerous.

The House,

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The House went
into committee Of the whole on the tariff
bill. Baker, Of New York, spoke against
the bill. He wished to give an abiectlesson
and produced three pairs of stockings, dis,
Uaying the colors OF the American flag,
which were manufactured in Rochester. He
presented the stockings to the gentleman
from Texas (Mills) with the suggestion that
he send the red ones to the President, the
white ones to the Speaker and keep the
blue ones himself as typical OF his own
feelings at the end of the session when he
beheld the. defeat of his measure. He pre-.
dicted on account of the Mills bill that an
increased Republican majority in his dis
trict would be given for the Republican can
didatefor the presidency provided he steered
clear OF afternoon dinners. [Laughter.]
SOUND, OF Pennsylvania,
regarded the Mills bill as long stride in
the direction OF free trade and the inaugu-
ration of a tariff policy which must even
tually prove ruinous and disastrous to the
industries in which his people were largely
interested. Farquhar, OF New York, said
that nearly hall of the manufacturers OF
the country whose interests were placed at
hazard by this bill were Democrats. He
had letters from the most pronounced
Democrats in his district protesting against
many features OF the measure. These men
had come to Washington, had q partisan
door shut in their faces, and had GONE
home, like all disappointed men, with re-
venge in their hearts. There were revising
committees in all labor assemblies which
would pass upon the merits OF this bill and
the laboring men would decide it's fate at
the ballot box.
BAYNE, OF PENNSYLVANIA,
criticised the President for not having per-
mitted the House to formulate q proper
bill for the revision of the tariff. No other
President in any emergency OF the country
had sent to the House a message SO posi-
tive and so nearly indicating the line OF
policy on economic questions. The Presi-
dent had not only one that, but it was
said that through the influence OF the ad-
m%inistration, Democratic nominations in
various districts had been controlled in the
interest OF q free trade policy. Democrats
OF good standing and influence, who hereto
fore had been looked upon as leaders
Of the party, had been denied the benefits
or patronage, had been denied access to the
Presidents councils and were being driven
by every means at the command
of the administration from the hands OF
the Democratic party. 1t even had been
asserted that public measures involving
public interests had been denied the execu-
tive sanction because Of the attitude OF
certain representatives in Congress on the
question OF tariff revision, and it had been
shown thai the administration had re-
warded a recalcitrant Pennsylvania Tor
having espoused the cause OF the Mills bill
on the floor of the House. (Applause.)
President Cleveland had been elected on d
straddling platform which meant protec-
ton in New York and free trade in the
South. Was it fair play hat the Presi-
dent, represented on a straddling platform,
should influence the House in favor OF
free trade?
