DAKOTA NEEDS MONTANA HORSES.
Interesting Interview With JAS. Il. Wright
ON the Subject.

| The RIVER Press sanctum was favored
for some time past has been engaged ship
ping Montana horses to Dakota. In a
conversation with PREss reporter Mr..
Wright said:
II think in time there will be quite an
active demand in Dakota for our cayuse
stock. Most of the horses now Ia use
there, are heavy animals designed for
ploWing and other work of similar na-.
ture. When the farmer finds 1t necessary
to drive ten or fifteen miles he is very apt
to be in hurry, and as the roads are usu-
ally level the temptation to rapid driving
is difficult to resist. AS consequence in
a comparatively short time the heavy
team gets stove up. Now the point is that
the Montana horse is well adapted to the
work which his heavy brother cannot en-
dure, without wearing out, and the people
down there have found it out Therefore
the farmers are getting one or more light
teams apiece, which are used as leaders on
tl1ClI PIOW d40 SCCAOlSs G4I WHICH, dIlf111S
about the country is required the heavy
horses are left at home Dakota has big
population, and will, believe, in time,
afford a satisfactory market for all the
horses our Territory can supply"

DISAPPEARANCE.
Neither Miss Abbey Goddard OF MT.
 Robinson Can Re Found.

NEW YORK, July 21-About three weeks ago Charles H. Robinson disappeared from Hartford, Conn.,, where he lived with his wife and family on the first floor of II Church street. His evident intent was to take Q vacation. He left several bills unpaid.
 On July Miss Abbey Goddard, a dress maker who lived with her sister and brother in-law on the second floor of II Church street, left her residence, saying she was going to pay a visit to a lady patron, Mrs. Stevens, at Windsor Locks, situated about twelve miles from Hartford on the New York & Boston Express line.
 When she got to Windsor Locks brakeman saw her get on the train for Suf1ield which connects with the express at that point. When her relatives heard that she had gone to Suffield they supposed that she would go to see Il friend, M. J. B. Cannon.
 While investigation proved that she had not been to this gentleman's residence it was re- mcmbered that last winter Charles H. Robin son, the man mentioned above, had proposed an elopement to Miss Goddard. She had then refused to do so, but now it is feared that they have really eloped, and are living in this city as man and wife under an assumed name. Miss Goddard's brother of Granby, Conn.,, is looking for Robinson.
 Miss Goddard is blonde, and very prepos- sessing in appearance. She is 2S years old somewhat stout, and of medium height. Her friends think that she may possibly Do wan derins about the streets insane.

HANGED.
" Sailor Jack" Executed for the Murder
 of Mrs. UlriCh.

MONTICELLO, \. Y., July 21.-Abcl John Allen, known as 'Sailnr Jack, was hanged at l.50 yesterday morning in the County Court room of Sr&hvan County.
 Admission tO the execution was by card and none but physicians, officers and witnesses in .he caSo were in attendance.
 The crime for which Allen was hanged was committed on the Sth of last October. His victim was an agod German widow. Ursulah Clrich, who lived alone short distance from Jc(irrSonvlle in Sullivan County. On the af- ternoun of the tragedy, one of the nnighbOrs went to the house to get a jug of cider and upon entering the kitchen door found tho old woman. she being upward of 70 years of age, jyinE ou the floor surrounded by a pool of blood. She had been shot in tho head and there were several wounds about her body.
 The neishbOrhood was at once aroused and gus picion rested upon Allen, who was known as Sailor Jack" He had been seen lOitering about the house during the day with gun. He was arrested and held by the coroner's jurv to await the action of the grand jury, by which he was indicted.
 The trial took place before Judge Alton B. Parker of Kingston. The chain of circum- stantial evidence was so strong that during the trial Allen made q confession, in which he admitted having Killed Mrs. Ulrich, but said that 1t was by an accidental shot while shoot ing at cat.
 The Judge refused to admit the confession as evidence. The case was so conclusive that the jury were out but an hour when they re- turned with a verdict of guilty.
 Allen after being placed in jail nnder a sen- tence of death, slammed insanity, but to no purpose. strong religious fervor then de- veloped itself, and for hours he would pray and sing. few weeks ago he became signed to his fate, and in a letter to his spir- ltual adviser, the Rev. pr. Dickinson, stated that he had been greatly benefited by his ministrations, and would die Christian. He warned others to seek the Saviour.

A PROBLEM IN SUGAR.
Wholesale Dealers Trying to Get Some
 Profit for Handling It.

NEW YORK, July 21.--A convention of wholesale grocers, representing nearly every city in the Union, was held here last month, with the object of devising means to realize q small margin of profit in the handling of sugars, which now, it is claimed, nets a loss. committee of eight was appointed, headed by Chairman H. H. Holly, which conferred with the managers of the sugar trust, who stated that they were willing to make some arrangements toward meeting the wishes of the grocers providing reiiners outside the trust would agree not to run their retinerieS at full capacity. The non-truSt retineries were then interviewed and said they were inclined to be agreeable. Practical results have not been realized, however, and all the retineries in the country are at present run ming to their utmost capacity. Many of the wholesale grocers who engaged ill the move ment express the belief that the only remedy for the evils of which they complain lies in the equalization of the tariff on sugars A lower duty on refining qualities would allow foreign competition in refined grades and cheaper prices, which would benefit the con sumer and weaken the power of the combina- tion of refinerS. However this may be, the grocers feel that though they have gained a nominal concession from the refiners, there has been no tangible victory.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
Judge Duffy Declares His Passion for
 Margaret Manton."


 NEW YORK, July 21.-All the universe but Gotham especially, will be surprised to hear that the wise gallant handsome and popular Police Justice r. Gavan Duffy is in dangerNof being sued for breach of promise of marriage,
 It all Came about through trip to Long Branch that he made last week. He put up at the Ocean House. Although a bachelor, the Little Judge" is always known to have an eye for female beauty. Among the other guests at the hotel he noticed a regally beau- tiful young woman, and he determined to make her acquaintance. He found a friend to introduce him, and at 20 last Wednesday & week ago, in the afternoon, he spoke to pretty Magaret MantOn for the first time
 She had heard of him as a popular Judge in New York. He had often heard of her as a brilliant newspaper cores spondent who writes for the Mercury, Journal World, Star, Minne- apolis Tribune and Chicago Times under the nom de plume of Margaret Manton.' She is also editor of the Long Branch Surf. It is not strange that two such gifted people should bo attracted to one another. The strange part of the case comes in by n report teleSraphcd from Long Branch yesterday that Miss Manton intends to sue his Honor for breach of promise. The Judge left Long Branch day before yesterday.
 During the time he spent in the lady's soci- cty the judge promised her that when she became Mrs. Duffy he would take her for a trip around the world. In his flowery fashion strangely unlike the tones in which he uses to say ten days"-he painted the delight they would experience in visiting together historic England, the Emerald Isle, pictur- esque Switzerland, castlcd Spain and the Holy Land. Then after swearing that he loved her. and only her, one night he basely deserted her next day, never went near her. She accused him of being false. He did not deny it. Then she threatened to bring suit. The Judge came back to New York Being a Magistrate himself. he feels that he has friends on the Bench here who will help him | out if the worst comes to the worst He was seen at his law offices, 229 Broad way, this morning. His Honor did not ap- pear to feel q bit nervous. That story is only hoax" said he
 "The lady who is referred to there is as beautiful as the dawn of the Easter morn. She Is just as intelligent as sho is beautiful. 1 could not say too much in praise of her beauty, intelligence and estimable character" " Then you will marry her." suggested the soporter.
 | "Ah If were yOunger?" sighed the Judgo, could do many things" that I would not | do now"
 | :" Did you ask her to marry you?"
 "I will not say that l did. did say that when sho would be Mrs Duffy we would see the world together, and I will keep my word The lady is a newspaper correspondent. She l told me she would write something about the and she has. Now understand me. have he highest regard for the lady, but that story $ only a hoax
 " But suppose she should bring suit, what would you do?"
 "Who can tcil?" cancluded his Honor.

The Cause of MT. Purroy's Quarrel with
 the Organization.

the Organization.
 NEW YORK; July 21.-The friends of Fire Commissioner Purroy are still circulating stories to the effect that he intends to sever his connection with the County Democracy organization, and that Judge Randolph B. Maritime, Police-Justice Andrew J. White, MT. Edward kearney, Col. Michael c. Murphy, and other members of the organization would soon follow his example.
 It stated in one paper this morning Secretary Whitney has manifested much less ov" for the County Democracy than formerly and that it was only a question of time when be also would withdraw from the organization and join Tammany Hall. It was said that thc reason why Police-Justice White proposed 'o withdraw from the County Democracy was tecAuse he desired to secure the nomination Cor Sheriff.
 Members of Tammany Hall and the County Democracy laughed heartily at this story when their attention was called to 1t to-day. Assistant District-Attorncy Fitzgerald said ]; You can say that far as Judge Maritime, Justice White, MT. Kearney, and Col. Murphy ITO concerned, they have no intention what ,vcr of rcsigning from the County Democracy. Mr. Purroy will resign, but the County Democ- 'acy organization will be stronger this fall shan ever before, and whether not there is !n alliance on a local ticket with Tummany Mall, our organization will name tho next MaVOr,"
