DINNER TO w. A. CLARK.
Friends of the Late Democratic Nominee
for Delegate Give Him Pleasant
Surprise.

William A. Clark, late nominee Of the
democracy Of Montana for delegate to
congress, was in the city yesterday, on his
way east. Friends in Helena took advan-
tage of his presence here to tender him a
complimentary dinner at the Cosmopoli-
tan hotel The affair was so hurriedly
arranged that only few of the many who
would have been pleased to do honor to
the defeated standard bearer of the dem
ocfatic party of Montana were present.
The company sat down at the table at 8
o'clock and separated about midnight.
Among those present were Messrs. A. J.
Davidson, who presided Col. G. A. Broad
water, Col. J. A. Johnston, Dan FloWeree,
Major Martin Maginnis, Col. G. D. Curtis,
Col James Sullivan, Thos Cruise, S. G.

Marcus Lissner, Hugh McQuaid, County
Attorney William Wallace, Jr., N. J. Nc
Connell and others.
The affair was very little like funeral,
the best of good humor characterlzing the
impromptu remarks of the gentlemen
present In the allusions that were made
to the late political cyclone the favorite
comparison was with the coon that turned
upon it's back, was yet able to 'whip all
the dogs in Missouri" Mr.. Clark was
especially emphatic in his declarations
that when the time came he would be
found in line ready to join issues with the
enemy. The affair was rather of social
than political nature, and was highly
enjoyed by the participants

THE NEXT HOUSE.
Opinions Of Two Eminent Authorities Who
Disagree.

WASHINGTON, November 16. General
John B. Clark, Jr., clerk Of the house of
representatives, believes that 160 demo
cratic representatives have been elected,
and that six districts are in doubt. This
calculation is based on the assumption
that Wilson (dem. is elected from West
Virginia. The doubtful districts in Mr.
Clark's estimation are the 1st California,
the 10th Kentucky, the ID South Carroll
na, the 1st, 3D. and 4th West Virginia.
These districts he has down as doubtful,
because they are claimed by both parties.
The majorities are SO small that the off
cial count must be awaited to determine
the result.

can national committee, said to an Asso-

a NEW STABLE CAR.
The Home Land and Cattle Company Tests
The Ripley Patent Stock Car.

We learn from Stoc'l Inspector Mat
thews that the Home Land and Cattle
company shipped from Culbertson, sta
ton on the Manitoba road, on the eastern
border of Montana, 18 cars of cattle on
the 14th inst
A feature of the shipment was the use
of one of the 33-foot Manitoba stock cars,
which had been fitted up under the Rip
ley patent as a stable car, with hay racks,
water troughs, dividing gates, ETC., etc.
Mr.. Ripley came out himself to see the
car put to practical use, and explain it's
workings to the shippers. Mr.. Matthews
Is very favorably impressed with the Rip
ley patent appliances for ordinary stock
cars, and thinks they will answer all prac-
tical purposes. Cattle can be fed, water
ed and separated into three different COM
partments by means of dividing gates on
rollers, which can be used to divide the
car into any sized stable required, or can
be raised above the heads of the cattle,
entirely out of the way, if desired
Should the Ripley patent meet the re-
quirements and wishes of Montana cattle
shippers it is the intention of the Manito-
ba railway to put it in all their common
stock cars.
The 33-foot car with the Ripley attach
ment took out 20 large beef steers, and
the animals had plenty of room. The di-
viding gates on rollers can be SO arranged
that if steer gets down, or gets crippled,
and it is desirable to place him in a com
partment to himself, the gates can be so
adjusted as to give the disabled animal
single stall off his own, in which he is fully
protected from the other cattle.

THE LAST ACT.
The Otter Creek Elopement Cases Happily
Terminated.

GREAT FALLS, November 1.-THE Cas-
cade county romance has ended happily
and love is once more lord of all. Yes
terday Mrs Hutchison withdrew all OBJ
lection to the marriage of her daughter,
Clara, with John B. Rich, the young cat
tie owner with whom she had made that
daring fight over the prairie toward Ben
ton in company with Owens and Edith
Mann, who were also on matrimonial pur-
poses intent. The lovers rejoiced when
they learned that there were no further
obstacles in the way Of their happiness
and preparations were at once made for
the wedding. About 10 o'clock last night
Rich and his bride appeared in the hotel
parlor, where many people had met to
witness the ceremony. The venerable
Judge Huy asked them the customary
questions, and on receiving an affirmative
response declared the happy pair to be
man and wife. Amid all the rejoicing
veteran cattle dealer came forward and
said excitedly, "John, you stood by me,
and I will stand by you now." Merry
making followed the marriage, and it was
increased when Sheriff Downing, who had
acted very considerably throughout, an
nounced that the law had no further
claims against any of the party. The
whole affair has thus ended amicably,
without any discredit to the parties con-
,erned. The young people will be well
oomed home Hospitality, and the parents
will repeat the customary "Bless you, my

The Record Broken.

New YORK, November 19.-According
to cable dispatch from Queenstown the
Umbria reached that port at 10 o'clock
last night. II this be true the Umbria
made the fastest eastward passage across
the Atlantic on record, the running time
being days, hours and % minutes.
The best eastward passage hitherto made
by the Etruria, April, 1883, was 6 days, 4
hours and 40 minutes. The best west
ward passage on record is days, l hour
and so minutes by the Etruria. Accord
ing to all the accounts brought in by
ships from over the western ocean, the
Umbria had bowling northwest gale to
boom her along the whole voyage.

TERRITORY WOOLs.
Encouraging Words to Montana Sheepmen-
The Status of the Market

VIM. Macnaughtan's Sons, wool com
mission merchants, Of New York, in cir
cular letter under date of the 18th inst.
reviews the territory wool market as fol
lows:
| "As the season for territory wools is
drawing to a close much earlier this sea-
son than ever before, review of the last
few months, will, we believe, be of inter
est to our consignors.
Montana and similar woods have grown
steadily in favor with manufacturers. un-
til, as we have repeatedly predicted, they
are among the most popular kinds on the
market.
"In addition to the natural increase in
the demand for these wools owing to
their own merits, circumstances this sea
son have done much to favor early and
quick sales.
ga year ago at this time, there was a
very large quantity of foreign wool of all
kinds on this market, which could be
bought so cheap that manufacturers gave
it the preference. Since that time do
mestic woods declined, while the Faro
pean markets held firm on foreign wools.
"By this means the position was re-
versed and domestic wools became the
cheapest. Hence, when the new clip
came to market, manufacturers bought
domestic and especially territory, where
they had previously bought foreign wools.
Thus, you who are wool growers in
the territories have specially received the
benefit of this increased demand The
amount of wool sold up to date being
greatly in excess Of the quantity disposed
of at this time last year, the stocks on
hand are consequently very light.
About clip time and for some time
thereafter, prospects were exceedingly
uncertain. This was occasioned by the
continued tariff agitation, the depression
IN the goods market, and other well
known causes.
while the market for Woels has under
gone several fluctuations since the begin
1ing of the season, the tendency has al
ways been upward. An increasing firm
1ess and activity have prevailed during
he last month, until the highest point of
he season has been reached. It does not
1t all follow from this that it would have
oeen wise to hold wool off the market for
! further advance. We believe in selling
While the demand exists, and long years
L experience have proved this to be cor

MARTIN A FREE MAN.
self Preservation, Emotional Insanity and
ain Insulted Wife are Made to Play
Their Part--Judge De
Wolfe Surprised.

BUTTE, November 15.-William j. Mar
tin. who killed Patrick A. Reardon at An
aconda February last, was to-day ac-
Quilted, after occupying the attention Of
the court for several days. The attor
torneys for the defense brought emotional
story of the crime, as related when it oc-
cured, threw the community into great
excitement, which was increased by the
fact that on the very day when this muir
der took place NJ L. Scott, the Granite
vife-murderer, was being hanged at Deer
Lodge.
THE CAUSE FOR THE DEED
was said to have been brought about
while Martin was trying to collect a
board bill of S6 from Reardon. The lat
ter had drawn his pay that day, and Mar
tin, who was proprietor of the Planters
MOTEL at the time, asked him for Sc, which
he would not give. At this iuncture
Martin drew a revolver and struck the
deceased twice on the head with it, and
felled him, and while in this position
Martin kicked Reardon twice in the
shoulders and finally shot him in the back
of he head at the base of the brain. Mar
tin then put his hands in his pockets and
quietly
WALKED OFF TO THE HILLS,
nobodyEoffering to molest him, all the
town officers being away at the Deer
Lodge hanging The justice of the peace
swore in special officers to search for Mar
tin. The feeling against him was at it's
height, and over one hundred men started
il pursuit. After being in the mountains
FIVE days and while endeayoring to reach
Helena, he was captured by Frank Hat
ton and Conley near Elliston on the line
Of the railroad.
THE TALK OF LYNCHING
had subsidized and he was taken before
Judge Emerson at DeerLodge, but waived
examination. He claimed that the shoot
ing was accidental and that the pistol
went off while struggling with the de-
ceased. A change of venue was had from
the Deer Lodge court to the district court
here. During the trial new phase was
brought about, which was that Reardon
had insuIted and attempted to outrage
Mrs. Martin, the prisoners vile. She re-
lated this story in court yesterday be-
tween sobs, and was corroborated by her
sister. Prosecuting Attorney Durfee, OF
Deer Lodge, thought it was
eCLEvERLY DEVISED SCHEME
to work upon the sympathies Of the jury.
It was further said that it was Reardon's
pistol from which the fatal shot was dis
charged. The further fact that while
Martin had received a deep scalp wound
was dwelt on, to show that even had he
done the shooting it was brought about
by insanity, caused from this wound.
These circumstances were dwelt upon at
length by the lawyers on both sides, and
at | o'clock the court concluded its
charge to the jury. At o'clock YER
diet of mot guilty" was rendered. The
court expressed itself as surprised that
such verdict should be brought in, and
considered it great injustice to society,
and said it would be an encouragement
for crime. There is much difference OF
opinion here respecting the conclusion ar
rived at by the jury.
