The Wedding of County Attorney Dnrfee
and Miss Irving.
Baltimorean, Feb. 4A.

= - Banimorean, Feb. 4h.
One of the most interesting weddings of
the season was that celebrated at the Ca
thedral on Wednesday at 4 p. m. The con-
tracing parties were David N. Durfee, Esq,
District Attorney of Deer Lodge county,
Montana, and Miss Emelie Irving, the only
daughter of Mr.. Thomas j. Irving, of Balti-
more. A little after the appointed time the
bride, leaning on the arm of her father, en-
tered the Cathedral and proceeded to the
cbancel, where the groom and his best man
awaited them. The ceremony was solemn
lied by Cardinal Gibbons, which was very
impressive, and before proceeding to unite
the happy couple the Cardinal delivered an
appropriate address. His assistants were
Rev. Father Flnney, Of Mt. Washington,
and Father Lee. The altar was brilliantly
illuminated for the occasion, and the music
charmingly rendered. The bride was attired
in a neatly fitting blue broad cloth, with
steel jet trimmings, and carried a large bou-
quet of Marechal Neil buds. She is a lady
of rare accomplishments and very popular.
The groom wore the conventional black.
He is a gentleman of ability in his profession
and possesses much Influence in Montana,
whittier their future hone will be. The best
man was Mr.. S. H. Irving, and Miss Marie
Perkins was the bridesmaid, being attired
like the bride. The ushers were Messrs. H.
M. Lord, Henry Finney, w. J. Ewing and
E. P. Clark, who wore ~boutonnieres. Among
those present were Col. r. NJ. johnson, Mr
John p. Clark, Misses Marian and Varina

Dupont Powder Works Explode.


W1LKEsBARRE, Pa, Feb 10. - At 10
O'Clock this morning a severe shock was felt
In this city. It was learned that q violent
explosion had occurred at Dupont's Powder
Works At Wapwallopen, twenty miles dis
tant, and that four men had been killed.
The explosion occurred in tie packing
house, where several tons of powder were
stored. At Nanticoke and Wannamie CHM
neys fell from the roofs of buildings and
school children ran in terror from the school
house. Men and women f1ocked to the
mines, where it was thought the explosion
happened and where members of their fami-
lies were at work. At Schinckshinny the
glass in almost every window was broken
and many persons thrown to the ground.
At Wapwallopen nearly every building wa
damaged or wrecked. Besides those killed
over forty persons were injured. None Of the
injured will die. The injuries were mostly
caused by flying fragments. The new Meth
odist church 1t Wapello, Pennsylvania, 800
feet away, was completely wrecked. No
trace Of the packing house is left, not even
the foundation. Rocks weighing over n
hundred pounds were blown to the top of
the mountain, over = quarter of q mile away.

WHAT TRUE MERIT WILL DO.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's German
Syrup within a few years, has astonished the
world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
best remedy ever discovered for the speedy
aud efectual cure of coughs, colds, and the
severest lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual prescrip-
lions given by physicians, as it does not dry
up a cough and leave the disease still in the
system, but on the contrary removes the
and leaves them in a purely healthy condi.
ton. A bottle kept in the house for use
when the diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and a long spell OF
serious illness. A trial will convince you OF
these facts. 1t is positively cold by all drug

Anti Trust LEGISLATION,


WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.--Representstive
Rayner made an argument before the House
committee on manufactures this morning 10
support of his bill to prevent the creation of
trusts. Rayner did not attempt to convince
the committee of the iniquity of trusts, ex.
cept Is incidental to the necessity for the
legislation he proposed. The greater part of
his speech was delivered in explanation Of
the different sections of the bill, and on the
constitutionaliiy of the legislation proposed.
He said that the bill declared it unlawful
for individuals, companies or corporations
doing business in any State or Territory, to
make contracts, agreements or arrangements
with individuals doing business in another
State or Territory, by which the price of
an article dealt in shall be fixed at any
standard or figure by which its price to the
public shall be fixed or established. Under
that provision of the constitution, he said,
which gives Congress the power to regulate
the commerce between States, Congress had
the authority to enact such laws Is would
prevent the formation of these trusts and
combinations, doing an inter State b.isin ess.
If it was conceded that this constitutional
authority could be so exercised i: followed
that Congress could prohibit the trusts from
making agreements to fix the prices of the
articles they produce 10 preclude free com-
petition. He commended that Congress had
authority TO prohibit the formation of these
pools, and to declare it unlawful for them to
make contracts or agreements not to COM
pete or undersell each other and to regulate
prices to the detrimeAt of the public welfare.

THE MINERAL LAND MATTER.

The full report of proceedings of the Min.
eral Land Convention held in Helena last
week, with the preamble and resolutions
adopted, shows it to have been one of the
most intelligent and industrious deliberative
bodies ever assembled in Montana. Al.
though its sitting was limited, its presenta-
ton of the case, its formulation Of the
method Of meeting the emergency thrust
upon the people of Montana, and the earnest
uuanimity with which they were adopted,
were actions that reflect the highest credit
upon oil concerned.
Having done this We trust the committees
will vigorously prosecute the important
duties assigned them. So far, 50 good; but
no delay should intervene in getting the
evidence of the mineral character of these
lands in the Interior Department At Wash
ington, that the order may be made perma-
nent Withholding issuance of titles to the
Northern Pacific Company for oil mountain
Gus lands until their non.mineral character
is established beyond question.
In Deer Lodge this matter has been taken
hold of by placing in the field County Sur
veyor b. B. Davis, who will make maps Of
sections in Townships 5 or 6 n, Range s
West, which are the sources Of Orc Elmo
and Dry Cottonwood Creeks, and which
have been certified up as non-minerar lands
and applied for by the Railroad company.
Then, accompanied by J. n. Fox, Benz.
franklin, and others who have worked In the
mines In these townships for years, the seve-
raj located quartz mines located therein will
be drafted in, with afidavits of owners and
others, and %indisputable evidences of their
mineral character, which accompanied BY
certificates of the Land Office filings, will be
sent At once to the Interior Department,
and followed up by other proofs as rapidly
as they can be put in form. Fortunately,
there is no region where the proofs can be
established more unquestionably than in
these townships, and those having the mat.
ter in charge here are pushing the work in
earnest. Mr.. Davis and party took the
field yesterday. We hope oil localities will
set - earnestly 10 work and carry out the
purposes Of the convention.

NEW MEN

The letter of James G. Blaine, stating
that his name will not be presented to the
National Republican Convention for nomi-
nation IS candidate for the Presidency, dis.
turbs the political atmosphere as no other
things, other than of death, could. That,
if he will, he is the arbiter of the immediate
destinies of the Republican party, no student
of American politics will deny. That he is
the great, mastery energy Of the party, with
personal following that alieniated would
invoke defeat, is equally true. Whether, If
nominated, he could be elected, is another
question. The issue now presented to the
party is one that Blaine himself invited, and
not only that, but he forced it in 1884 upon
the Democratic party. and when Cleveland
in his message made it the Democratic plat
form for 1883, the t%hunderbolt Of over
whelming rejoinder came under the sea with
lightning rapidity from Blsine's own hand.
No man has ever accused Blaine Of coward
ice, or even claimed that he had . peer in
presenting this issue triumphantly before
the people. Why, then, should this letter
be written, if not sincere?: In as plain terms
Is language will convey it is a declination.
No man feels justified in refusing that which
has not been offered him, but be can say, Is
Blaine has done, that his name will not be
presented. This we consider conclusive.
There was no occasion in the world for his
doing this, unless he desired to be out Of the
field and considered it 4 mandate his friends
would not disobey, and that they would not
allow his opponents to do what they would
not do themselves. If he desired the nomi.
nation, for what possible reason would he
have written this letter? We give him
credit for candor, and accept the letter Is
final IS it could be wisely phrased. He does
not give his reasons, but If they are sufficient
to himself We do not see that the public has
any license to demand them.
Eliminating Mr.. Blaine from the aspirants
the field Is m%omentarily thrown into confu.
sion. There is even suspicion that the
Blame letter is merely , feeler to cause an
uprising of his friends demanding that he
reconsider his purpose. But generally it is
accepted as fioal, and the hosts Of Sherman,
Gresham, Allison, Sheridan and the rest are
buckling or their armor TO take in the Blaine
adherents for their respective chiefs. We
do not believe now that the probabilities Of
Cleveland's re nomination are At all we'll
assured. He has divided his house. And,
while on some platform of amended tariff
the party may be held fairly together, it can
not be done With Cleveland at the head of
the ticket. He has stepped over the line
where . united party will follow him. We
are mistaken in the outlook if either become
the next nominee. 1t will be . struggle
such as has not been seen before and neither
party can afford to lose any votes by . blum
der. l. would be . blunder now to nomi.
nate either Blaine or Cleveland. @
