DEATH RELEASES HIM.
The Man With the Broken Neck" Final,
Dies From His Hurt.


Dies From His Hurt.
Jas. S. Hill, the San Francisco man
whose neck was broken May %, by a bale
Of hay falling on him, died June q. The
San Francisco Examiner referring 20 the
case, says:
He had lived exactly five weeks, and his
survival was a daily contradiction of all an
atOmical laws.
One OF the greatest authorities on such
things says: "Should fracture of the
spinal column occur above the fourth OF
vical vertebra, and the cord sustain dam
age, the case will prove fatal in a brief
period of time. The phrenIc nerve, which
is the motor nerve of the diaphragm, has
its origin below this point, and suspension
in the action in so important q muscle as
this must be quickly followed by death"
Mr.. HIPS injury was above the fourth
vertebra, the third being badly crushed
and pieces OF the bone damaged the MEM
branes OF the spinal cord so badly Ghat the
hulk exuded.
The ESQ pound bale of hay that fell upon
his head crowded his neck into his body.
His neck was four inches long before the
accident and after it was shortened TO one
and one-half inches. The skin in the neck
was not broken, but IL was gathered into
folds his body was paralyzed from the
The day after the accident, as Hill con-
unued 10 breath, the surgeons determined to
do what they could to relieve him. An in
cision eight inches long was made IN the
center of the base of the neck and the
spinal column was barred. The crushed
bones were thus made visible. The frag-
ments pierced the spinal cord and some of
the pieces had been driven into the MEM
branes- Those of the fragments that could
be reached without lacerating the cord
were taken out
An autopsy was held and tho spinal col.
umn for a distance of eight and a half
inches below the base of the brain was
taken out Ii was found that the third
cervical ,vertebra had been broken COM
pletelv through the middle. An inch of
the spinal cord had been destroyed. In
fiammatory adhesion of the spinal men,
brane kept the broken ends attached TO the
vertebra, like broken telegraph wire tied
TO its pole by rope The spinal cOrl by
oeing thus disconnected was completely
servtceIess.

A DELUGE IN CHINA.
Great Rain Storm at Hong Kong aud Much
Property Damaged.

Great Rain Storm at Hong Kong aud Much
Property Damaged.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 1.-The steamer
Rio de Janeiro has arrived from Hong
Kong and YOhahoma. One of the most
destructive rain storms in the history of
Hong Kong occurred May % and 80, the
total rainfall for thirty-three hours being
twenty-nine and one-half inches. The
Hong Kong papers do not venture 10 esti-
mate the loss of private property, such as
residences, stores. etc. but places the esti-
mate of the loss to public property at $780,
900. There was scarcely house within an
area of thirty-two square miles but suf-
fered. All the roads and streets in the col
ony were turned into mud heaps, and
innumerable shops and dwellings were
flooded. Water pipes burst at every corner.
Eight men were killed by lightning in
Natshea- Fifteen lives in all are known
TO be lost. When the steamer sailed the
storm cut of the water supply, and the
lower portion Of the town is still suffering
trsm serious dearth of drinking water
A week after the storm the city presented
the appearance of having suffered q subter-
raneen upheayei and subsidencp. During
the first of the week little progress was
made with the work of removing the de-
bris and the government was forced 70 call
for the aid of the military.

Portugal Has Taken the Concession Away
and VIII Settle For 1t.
LONDON, July L-Dispatches from De-
lagoa Bay are reassuring. There has
been no disturbance. Agents of the rail-
way company have handed over the line to
Portuguese officials, and have made a vaIu-
alton upon the work they have already
done The directors of the Portuguese
company at Lisbon, with which alone the
Portuguese government has treated, have
informed the government they have no in
tention OF resisting the decree cancelling
the concession, but will seek legal redress.
In political circles here it is asserted the
concession and Portuguese laws fully
guarantee the repayment Of the capital
which the railroad company has sunk in
the enterprise.
In the house of commons this evening
Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary secre-
tary TO the foreign office. stated that Portu
gal had cancelled the Delagos bay railway
concession, notwithstanding the repre-
sentatiODs of England. The Portuguese
eoverDm had been informed by Eng
land that Portugal would be held RESPONSE
bic for aDy loss which British investors
might suffer by her action. The legal
question Involved is being considered by
the government, and proper steps will be
taken TO protect British residents at Del

At Least We Can Compel the Haytians to
Respect Us.
NEW YORK, July Capt. Rockwell,
commander of the Clyde steamer Ozama,
captured by Legitime recently, called at
the Office of the Clyde line this morning
and reported the arrival of his vessel.
Capt Rockwell, In an interview with a
representative of an evening paper, said
that on the morning of June 9, when about
thirty-two miles from Gonalues, three
Haytian gunbosts were seen approaching.
Not wishing to be detained by them, he
put on all seam and forged ahead. He
had not gone far when q shot from one of
them across the Ozsma's bow brought the
steamer 10. The Ozama was boarded by
officers who informed Capt Rockwell that
be would not be allowed to go 20 GOnalues
but would have to accompany the gun
boats 10 Port au Prince. On arriving there
the steamer was anchored under the guns
of the fort. Capt Rockwell Immediately
went ashore and had the United States
minister demand the r lease of his vessel
and the reasons for its detention. No at
tentiOn was paid the latter by Legitime's
officers. Capt Rockwell then told of the
arrival of the United States steamer Ossip-
pee and the subsequent release of the
Ozama on the threat of Capt Kellogg TO
use IOrca

NAR&NS,

MAIN STREET.

In our show window you will
see some tidbits that we are of
fering this week. Take a look
in the one on the north and you
will see some of the prettiest
styles of cheap underwear ever
shown in this city. The gray
pattern at 81 a suit would take
the cake Were it not for that
delicate red and blue stripe. a
suit of which you can occupy if
you are the happy posessor of
60 cts Sale lasts bnt this week.
You are pr. badly aware that
the advent of warm weather has
given a great impetus TO busi-
ness-not that We were idle
but we do say that trade shows
the effect of Old Sol beaming
upon it. because Il week ago the
trade seemed to know but one
thing, and that was that they
ought to go to Harris and buy
a suit, but it was horses work
to learn from them what they
wanted. They were irresolute,
hesitating Ibetween a fur coat
and linen daster, but now "a
change comes o'ef>S etc.-they
know what they want and ask
for it. 1t is "a cheap Cheap
first good summer suit" and
they know where to get it.
Our trade the past month has
been something Incredible. We
never have had particular occa-
sion to join the ''Kickers'
Club but-our business has
increased TO such an extent
that we feel we owe an obliga-
ton to our patrons for their
more than liberal patronage,
and hereby acknowledge it.
We sometimes wonder what
gives occasion for people to re-
mark, "Why. Harris, your
store is the only one in town
that seems TO be doing any bus
mess" We might tell them
with some degree of truth that
the reason therefor lay in the
fact that we work harder for
trade, we give greater induce
ments to trade and show a bet
ter selected stock than any
house in Helena or the terri
tory Now, one of the special
Inducements we offer is our line
of medium priced suits. A
man of ordinary intelligence is
aware that it is not a feat
worthy of mention to sell low
priced goods at low prices, but
it is point worthy of consider
alton to sell good, durable anti
cles, and at low prices. 1t is
the tricksters' favorite game to
cut in price, parade the fact
with loud noise and a flourish
of trumpets, and at the same
time conceal the fact that he is
cutting in quality, also. We
are forced to these remarks by
the host of imitatoIs who, see
ing the result OF our popular
priced suits have marked goods
to similar prices, but not
matched them in quality. We
will show them a trick worth
two like that before the season
is over; but in the meantime we
will announce that we have
Just few of those Ten Dollar
Suits left, some sixty three in
all. Now, as a matter of fact
they will be gone by the end of
the week, so anyone wanting
them had better pile in as soon
as the announcement is made,
or they will all be gone.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The fight between

Jimmy Lynch, took place on Staten Island
yesterday. 1t was the gsmiest battle that
has taken place in this vicinity between
men of their size since Haydn and Farr
met and fought forty-nine rounds. 1t was
a bruising match all through on both sides.
Both men were soon covered with blood
and the floor finally became slippery with
gore. In the sixth round Danforth injured

Lynch had all the best of the fighting.
Dsnforth again and again.
The latter seemed, however. TO have limit

Danforth got in a stiDger which broke

as he thereafter played for that
spot. They kept at il, however, hammer
and tongs, and finally in the twenty-second
round DanfOrth struck Lynch while in the
