The first hippo potamus born in this
country saw the light Of Superinten-
dent Clarkson's lantern, and subsc-
quently that Of day, In the lion house
Of Central park yesterday. The birth
took place at midnight Sunday. Fati-
ma, the mother, better known as Miss
Murphy, name given her by the
newspapers, Is herself Of the tender
age Of six, and came TO this country In
1885, having been purchased for 5000
from Frank Thompson. Caliph, the
father, is an older beast, and was
brought TO this city from the Zoologi-
cal Gardens Of Cincinnati. The child
weighed forty pounds when born,
which is said to he small for hippop.
otamns. 1t was as lively rs n kitten,
and within an hour was moving
about the cage apparently In the best
OF health. Whether IL survives will
depend upon the ability Of the mother
TO suckle II well, something which had
yesterday not been determined. The
mother was In "A highly nervous state
state yesterday, and the lion house was
locked up, and no one approached the
monster and the little one except the
superintendent and his assistant, and
they only when absolutely necessary.
1t will be several days, II the little one
lives, before the public can be admit
ted to see either mother or child.
Although n hippopotamus has never
before been born IN this country, they

THE AIRS TRANSPARENCY.

Unlike fog, haze commonly occurs
during an unusually dry state Of the
lower air. In considering its cause,
Mr.. F. A. II. Russell suggests
that the small quantity of non-trans-
parent matter required to produce the
dimming effect should be borne in
mind. If the eye can observe the color
produced in drop of water by the
tifty-millonth Of gramme of fuchine,
possibly weight Of water or dust not
much greater would suffice for visibility
in a column Of air 1000 feet long. The
air Is at all times charged with dust
particles to degree difficult to realize.
The purest air tested by Mr.. Aitkin
previous to his measurements on the
top Of Ben Nevis contained about "a,
600 dust-particles to the cubic inch,
which would give So, 232, 600 particles
to every cubic foot, or S5, 2s2, 900, OO0
to y horizontal column Of 1000 feet.
It u manifest that u condensation
upon y small proportion Of these, or an
agglomeration Of a small proportion
into larger groups, or u momentary
adhesion by electric attraction, would
suffice to produce potical effects.
A MEXICAN MErEoRITE.
In catalogue Of Mexican meteorites
prepared by N. Antoniodel Castillo,
one mass is mentioned which was brok-
en- up and fell In widely dispersed
fragments, portions being found in
three places at the angles Of a triangle
whose two longer sides were some b5
miles and IS miles. In one OF these
places two plates were discovered
about $50 yards apart, evidently
formed one huge plate weighing more
than 80 tons, which broke near the

Interesting problem In astronomy. 1t
has long been noticed that the pola +

owing TO the deposits OF silt. II is estimat-
ed that fifty years must elapse before the
lands inundated will be useful again for
agricultural purposes. A peculiar feature
of the trouble is the deposits in the
bed of the river are so constant in acretion
that any system Of prevention Of these
breaks in the banks caused by
rise in the bed Of the
river 10 be effective would cost a most
enormous sum of money. IL seems likely
radical system for the prevention of these
breaks will never be adopted and the floods

THE REPUBLICAN METHOD.
Republican Frauds Perpetraird In Custe'
County Before Eiectio Day.

Republican Frauds Perpetrird In Custer
County Before Eiectio bay.
MuEs CRY, Oct. 19.-lSpecial. Silver
Bow county is not the only place where re-
publican fraud is apparent. In Custer
county, from the commencement Of the
campaign, the republican managers re-
sorted to the most questionable transactions,
that their party might be successful in the
county. The republican board of county
commissioners, in every instance where
practicable, appointed a republican regis
try agent, and many Of these agents, in
stead of remaining at their Office during the
time prescribed by law, were out in the
country with their books soliciting republi-
cans TO register. and more than one demo-
crat was deprived of the right To register,
after travelling forty or fifty miles for that
purpose, by reason Of the fact that the agent
WAS not to be found where he WAS obliged
10 be by law.
Again, in selecting judges Of election,
these same commissioners ignored the law,
and in many instances the voting III some
precincts was entirely under the control of
republicans. This was the cnse nj Custer,
in this county, where three republicans had
charge of the election. At Rosebud, the
election officers (republicans) closed the
voting and attended the races that took
place there. AT Stafford lady had charge
of the election prenter part of the day;
here Carter received y votes, MagInnis o.
Power and 1oole |. In Miles City the re-
publicans had four representatives 10 two
that the democrats had behind the rail, and
the republican candidate for treasurer
placed box Of cignrs in the room where
the voting took place, and on the cover of
the box was placard asking the voter to
vote for him for county treasurer.
These are some of the methods resorted
TO 10y the republicans of Custer county, and
in considering them we are in measure
able TO account for the success Of that party
in the county.

Rumored Plot to Aid In the Escape Of
Cronin Suspects.

Rumored Plot to Aid In the Escape Of
Cronin Suspects.
CHICAGO, Oct. l9.-The Daily News SAYS
this morning discovery has been made Of
n plot TO rescue Martin Burke and Dan
Coughin from Judge McConnells court
room some day next week, presumably ON
Monday afternoon, just before the adjourn
ment of court. Judge Longenecker has
been suspicious since ex-Sherif James
Healy, Of Hancock, Mich, appeared last
Wednesday and asked permission to see
Dan Coughlin before court opened Long
checker, however, gave Hesley an order on
the jailor, and arranged 10 have the visitors
and prisoner shadowed during the inter
view. The couple, however, were circum-
spect in their talk. and the shadow learned
nothing.
Yesterday morning when court opened
Longenecker. who had been warned again
by an lrishman who has spent both time
and money in assisting the state, took sly
squint around the court room and, IL il
said caught sight of Ex-Sheriff Healy with
a companion, seated in the rear of the court
room where old time hangers-on generally
find seats. Quickly diverting his gaze, be
took glance down the row of seats and
recognized the faces of several men who
had been pointed out to him during the
week as strangers who would bear watch
ing. lie became uneasy. and for the first
hour Of jury getting hnd little attention
for the proof work on hand. The
states attorney took position where be
could watch without being seen, and soon
caught one of the strangers making signs
which, from Coughlin's appearance, were
understood by him. Soon after the signaller
and companion went out, and were fol-
lowed by two other strangers. They were
shadowed TO ticket office, where they made
inquiries nbOut ticket 10 Vancouver. Mys-
terious signalling was also noticed between
the stranger and Martin Burke.
The News says from these and other de-
yelopments Judge Longeneeker is greatly
agitated, and IL taking elaborate precau-
tlons 10 prevent any attempt at rescue.
From the points learned the News draws
the inference that this is Clan-n Gael
plot, gotten up in the interest of Coughlin
and Burke only, for the reason that they
are the two men who must be saved at all
hazards in order 10 prevent their confess
ing and duplicating men whose necks are
thought to be worth much more 10 the
clans
