School and Church Notes.

In proportion to their age the school
children here are further advanced than
the children in many of the eastern schools.
There no one under sixteen is permitted to
begin the high school course; here as young
as fifteen is found among the graduates.
The alumni OF the Central High School
organized Monday evening: President,
Joel Crossman: vice.presidents, Miss Mary
Sullivan and Miss Nettie Strausberger;
secretary, Miss Cora Young.
That the Butte High School is second to
none is evidenced by the fact that Miss
Ward left the graduating class In February
and entered the anne grade in the Chicago
high school, from whence she graduates
this June.

He Makes a Correction of Importance.
Clan ma Gael Membership.
LONDON, May 7.-Parnell corrected his
testimony of Friday, in which he admitted
he misled the house of commons in regard
to secret conspiracies in Ireland. By ref
erence to the verbatim report he found
he said the Ribbonmen ceased to exist,
which was substantially correct.
Parnell said he had not heard of 100
~guineas being paid for the deence Of the
moonlighters at the Cork assizes in 1881.
If he had been asked about such payments,
he should, in those days, have approved of
them il he had reason to believe the law
was being strained against a man, but his
general rule was to limit such payments as
much as possible. Parnell said he some
times paid money from his own private &C.
count in behalf of the league.
He did not object to an inspection OF his
accounts.
Parnell declared he had never said that
Egan had Joined the Clan Nae Gael. He
would regret to find Egan had rejoined d
phy~sical-force party, but he should not
think such a curse unnatural.
Recurring to secret societies, Parnell said
he considered that q person who joined the
League and continued to be a member of
the Clan Nae Gael, acted to the injury OF
the Leagues policy. Any member Of the
League who would advocate the use OF
dynamite would be a traitor.

that Vignaux, a prominent Republican who
had been suggested by Congressman Cole
man for United States Marshal OF the west
ern district OF Louisiana, had furnished
arms to the negroes, called on hat gentle
man, who is now town marshal OF Lafay-
cite, and discussed with him the matter Of
his haying attempted to vote negroes at
the election last Monday.
They informed him hat their purpose
was to prevent the negroes from voting
and they intended to enforce their views on
the subject, intimating that the best thing
ViRnaux could do was to desist from any
further efforts on behalf of negro suffrage.
Vignaux stated that he was at the polls,
Monday, performing his sworn duty under
the law. This statement being satisfactory,
the regulators concluded to allow Vignaux
a wh,le longer. He exists by probation, SO

vote. As this election will not be legal,

Hixon Of the Grand Trunk railway. Hixon
described his road and it's terminals and
acknowledged that the Grand Trunk road
practically controlled rates between Chi

in the United States was carried On in

The first witness OF the day was First

His discourse was largely explanatory OF
the Erie's methods and its losses since the

city and olicitsubscriptions and. If possible,
endeavor to raise the amount conditioned
in the offer, at once. TO stimulate the
committee in it's work, a gentleman who
was present. headed the list with a sub.
scription Of 81, ZOO.

chase q lot, erect suitable building thereon
and buy a library the equal OF which does

his two clerks, was getting ready to close
the Office when three men entered and Gov.

wanted money. One of the clerks named
Putnam began to parley with the robbers
when he was severely dubbed.

Brady, was shot and probably fatally
wounded. The robbers succeeded in getting
away and reached the mountains.
