a Konng Man Killed on the
Yesterday morning, when tie
Virginia local down train on the v.
& I. rounded the curve in the snow
drifts near the Knickerbocker. mine
it brushed two boys off the snow
bank, killing one, and breaking
the others legs.
Since the storm over 100 men
and boys have been employed SHOW
cling snow and picking out ice be-
tween the ties on the V. & I. at 81
q day. The boy killed was Newton
James. When the engine came in
sight of the gang OF shovelers on the
curve, the engineer whistled, and
they all climbed the bank. The
train Stacked up as it passed
through the curve, and the freight
car passed the shovelers. The rear
step Of the passenger car, however,
projected further, and either hit the
two boys or cut the snow
bank from under them. Both fell
under the train. James was cut to
pieces, the wheels passing over his
breast, and the other, Marks, had
both legs broken. He was taken
down to the Mound House and then
taken to Virginia. He bore his in
juries pluckily, and only said, ono
one is to blame; don't let mother
know" He will probably recover,
but be cripple all his life.

A Close Call.

Yesterday morning Geo. Baxter
while splitting wood in the back
yard of Mr.. Jacobs the tailor,
managed to catch his axe in a
clothes-line and the recoil caused
the axe to strike him in the head.
The edge cut through his hat and
made an ugly scalp wound. He
had the wound dressed and in few
hours was again to work.

The Post, IN uniform, marched to
Masonic Hall and were received by
the Corps. The retiring Commander.
Bartine, made a fclicitious speech,
oiling well every imaginable ripple
of discord, and introduced Installing

''acted well his part.
The new Commander, Hanford,
paid fitting tribute to his prede-

Of the Corps.
The retiring President of the

heartier appreciation. George II.
Meyers inimitably illustrated his
slight NIT Siegel" under the Ameri-

sion. There were about 45 members

An lmbeclle.

1t is not often that the Republican
forgets to treat on subjects of only
public importance, but in the present
ease an exception will be observed
Such epithets rs fool, liar, scoundrel
vagabond and blackmaier should never
be used in print in describing or de-
nouncing man, who is even something
more than teacher Of natural science
would be capable OF classifying. While
any or all of the above opprobrious
terms could be used with fair degree
of application in connection with the
Deadwood White, we propose to only
speak of him as an imbecie. Such he
is beyond any question Of doubt. AS a
first-class prevaricator he is not suc-
cess, as his falsehoods are so free from
all semblance of the truth. But in this
he is not much less failure than he is
an authority as a mining expert His
batch of falsehoods published in yester-
days Republican on the eve Of
the consummation of the Harvey Peak
deal, brought forth such expressions as,
'ls the man crazy?" ''fIe is certainly Il
fool ;" what batch Of imbecility," etc.
Had he but stated one truth in the en-
tire article, there would have been some
probability of offense being taken at the
balderdash tainted with imbecility
which flowed so freely from his brain
less skull. The Republican has already
expressed itself againt capital punish
mcnt, which precludes the expression
of a heartfelt wish, and which after all
| is perhaps the only proper disposition
to make of such ingrates as Thos. II.
White. If there ever was a human being
without ancestry or hope Of posterity
that man is unquestionably Thos. III.
White, alias Thos. III. White, manager

pert, and deputy United States mineral
surveyor. formerly Of Cornwall, En-
gland.-Rapid Republican.

road train, after having repeatedly fail
ed i'm the effort TO run through a snow

steps to back station" and yet it is not
to be supposed that the writer would
have the reader infer that tie train
walked.

powers of patent pain eXterminator,

Referring to certain painful results
growing out of the too numerous scrap

Judge Thomas Charge.

Following is IA portion of Judge
Thomas recent charge to the grand
jury at Deadwood, in which attention
is directed to gambling in that city

it's total suppression is regarded as i'm
practicable, and that nothing beyont

hope of success:

America Will Do 1t.

The tin future Of the central hills of
! the Black Hill section, does not depend
on the success or failure of any one or
any two deals which are in process Of ne
gotiation. That much is now settled
beyond any dispute among those who
know our resources. If the Harney
Peak deal is successful, as we are assur-
ed that 1t practically was some two
months ago. it will do much to advance
the interests of the country, and prchaps
hasten the time when Black Hills tin
will control the tin market of the world,
but it's failure could have no depressing
effect. American capital, though some
what tardy in appreciatng the value
of the American tin district, is now
ready to take holt with that well-direc'ed
energy which is characteristic of Ame
rican enterprise. Millions in Chicago
and some of the other great central
cities of the union, are ready for invest
ment in Black Hills tin on the happen
ing of certain events, notably the success
ful production of tin from the American
Tin Company's property in Custor coun-
ty. That we are assured is practically
accomplished, and as stated in our local
columns yesterday, in thirty days or less,
pig tin will be placed on the Chicago
market. Whether foreigners invest
now. il not of such great Importance us
We believed a few months ago. Then
we were looking for some one to recon-
mend the immense opportunities for
profitable investment of capital offered
by Black Hills properties, The Ameri-
can Tin Company will do this, and the
whole community will feel the effect.
We do not mean to state what would
probably leave an incorrect impression,
! that it makes no difference if Ilarney
Peak properties are not worked. Far
from it. We mean merely to say that if
Englishmen won't work them the owners
will readily find Americans who will,
when the impression Of the Black Hills
on the worlds tim market begins to be
felt 1t is desirable to have all the tin
mines in operation, and the fact that the
lIarney Peak company owns the bulk of
the tin district and its water rights, does
not, as we have shown, compel the
people to der0a for prosperity on the
success of that pany's present nego-
tait rs. There are vast profits to come
out Of the Harvey Peak mines, and the
demonstration ofthat fact will call some
body's millions to the rescue. We are
willing that English millions should par
! ticipate, but we will be elated if Ameri-
can millions win the victory and receive
the reward that is sure to follow.-Rc-

Southern Hills.

From Gilbert Nj. Fay, who after two
weeks absence spent in the southern
Hills, principally at Custer, and who re-
turned to Deadwood last night, Pio
neer representative learned that great
deal of activity is at present witnessed
in tin mining through the various dis
tricts contiguous to Custer City. Opera
tons are mostly conducted and carried
on under the superintendency of local
agents, of foreign or eastern svndicates
or individuals, who have secured bonds,
expiring from the present time until the
first Of May. In several instances the
amount paid IA bonus for the right
granted has reached so much as five
thousand dollars, though in majority
of cases it has not reached as many
hundreds. If the obligations of all
these bonds are assumed, several hun
dred thousand dollars will be distributed
to tin prospectors before the expiration
of the last day of April. The mill at the
Tin Mountain has been started On ore

suit Mr.. Fay was unable to state.

In an able effort on the part of the

submits such telling and forcible argu-
ments in refutation of the charge as to
ehectually spike our controversial can

sense that kind of a fish. His argu-
ments are clear and conclusive, and

Fowler, general manager Of the Tin
Mountain Company states that the super
intendent at the mines at Tin Mountain
in the Black Hills report good progress
in the erection of the works, having

FREE TRADERS.

The Democrats say they are not free trad
ers, but when they framed the Confederate
Constitution and were not bothering them
selves about Northern votes they came out
Hat. footed against protection. Here is a
clause from the document:
The Congress shall have power to lay and
collect taxes, duties, imposts and excuses for
revenue necessary 10 pay the debts, provide
for the common defense and carry on the
Government OF the Confederate States, but
no bounties shall be granted from the Treas
ury, nor shall any Gntie5 or taxes on tmtor-
tation5 from Jorti9n relations be laid 10 Pre-.
mote or foster any branch Of imdnstry,' and
all duties, imposts and excuses shall be uni
form throughout the Confederate States.
Some of the men who assisted Mills in
getting up his tariff bill had a hand in the
framing Of the Constitution OF the late Con
federacy. 1t is a notorious fact that their
views have not changed in the slightest de.
gree. They are as much exposed 10 pro
lection as they ever were, but to fool the
Northern mudsills they make believe tina,
they have the interest OF the laboring class
at heart. The trick is stale one and won T
succeed this year.

A WISCONSIN paper is quoted as saying

with the aid Of the California delegation to
the Chicago Convent en-, "has forever dissi

polities." The Wisconsin Journal does no.
understand the position tina, California occu.
pies in this campaign. The Cleveland ad.
ninistration is on the record as the worst foe
Chinese restriction has ever had. The Chi
Aese restriction law has gone to pieces under
the Cleveland administration and a new
treaty is given in its place which present,
more difficulties in the way OF restriction
than the treaty now in force. The Coat

Chinese immigration for the past three years
and is now confronted with The evil in a
graver form than ever. So IA, therefore, as
the Chinese question is an issue in national
