THE NEWS RECEIVED.
Republicans Jubilant Over the Triumu
of Fraud

Jubilant Over the Triumph
of Fraud
The news of the final elimination Of the
senatorial fraud was received with more or
less manifestation in this city. The Herald
and Journal raised flags over their build
ings to celebrate the event. Some of the
republicans hurrahed and congratulated
each other over the victory of the state
stealers, and the democrats said it was, of
course. what they expected from such par
tisans as men of the Hoar and Edmunds
stripe. The large majority of congratula-
tory kilograms were sent to Sanders.
Power receiving very little recognition. It
is learned that none of Mantle's friends in
Butte sent congratulations to Power. One
Mantle man in this city said yesterday: ''If
Power should remain in the United States
senate one hundred years he will never re-
cover from the branding given by
Senator Turpie. It was the worst
scoring man ever received in
a legislative body and it will re-
main with him as long as he lives. Power
will have little or no influence in the United
States senate. I believe he will be frozen
out in the dispensation of patronage and
be utterly ignored by the republican lead
ers at the national capital. He will be a
very poor fgurehead among men of brains.
The republicans who voted for him will re-
greet their work"

while the gentlemen were in full dress. The

friends of the young people and family.
The bride was given away by the father and
the bridegroom who marched with the

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
A Chinaman Passes Away Under Peculiar
CircumstanCes.

A Chinaman Passes Away Under Peculiar
Circumstances.
A Chinaman named Lee Foy, who has
been working in the Delmonico restaurant,
died under peculiar circumstances in his
room in the Quong Hing building, West
Main street, night before last. It seems
that he was fully prepared for the fatal
event. He drew what money was due him,
paid all his bills, took bath and shave,
and then went to bed from whence he arose
no more The body was discovered late at
night and the fact was not made known to
the police till yesterday morning, when
Coroner Rockman was notified and sum-
moned a jury to ascertain the facts in the
case. The following jury was summoned:
Dell Dick, Ed. l. Zimmerman, Andy O'Con-
nell, B. w. s. Folk, Sol. Poznanski, II.
Dougherty. All Sing and several other
Chinaman testified to having seen the de-
ceased at 8 o'clock on the evening of the
Kay says from conversations with relatives
of deceased he thinks he took poison. They
believe the fact that he settled up all his
earthly affairs on the day previous Indicates
that he committed suicide.
Fl. C. Burgard said deceased worked for
him at the Delmonico restaurant and h0d
complained of not feeling well for two or
three days aud collected what money was
due him Monday evening. He was we'll
liked among the people with whom he
worked. He complained of his head and
one eye was closed and swollen.
DIR. Atchison thought deceased came to
his death from congestion of the lungs,
there was no suicide and no foul play. 1t
might have been produced by agents to
cause congestion of the lungs.
The verdict of the jury was that Foy Lee
died from congestion of the lungs, which
might have been superinduced by poison
taken with suicidal intent.

Death OF ThOs. O'Brien,
The death of Thomas O'Brien. while not
unexpected, will be received with sadness
and regret by his many friends in
this city. It was known to his intimates
that he had been slowly sinking with con-
sumption for long time, and last evening,
at the hour of 10 o'clock, he gently passed
to the great beyond, surrounded by family
and friends. Thos. O'Brien was man of
more than ordinary ability. He was born
in WEYMOUTH, Nova Scotia, in September,
1886, and was Sc years old at the time of his
death. For many years he has lived on the
west coast, in San Francisco, Walla Walla,
and other places, finally removing to Hele-
ma about seven years ago, where he has
since resided. He established the Mer-
chants hotel and gradually built it up to
one of the most popular houses in the noun
tains. The loss of his eldest son. Horatio
O'Brien, who died of Pneumonia about two
months ago, is thought to have FASTENED
his end, he having suffered severe hemor-
rhage shortly after. Mr.. OBrien leaves a
wife, daughter and three sops to mourn his
loss, besides large circle of friends and
acquaintance.

PROCEEDINGS IN COURT.

The Motion for a New Trial in
the jackson Murder
Case
Counsel for the Defense Arguing the Case
and Supporting the Motion by Cita-
tions and Precedents.

The habeas corpus case of George L.
Thompson, convicted of rape in Beaverhead
county in February last, was argued before
the supreme court yesterday by Robt. B.
Smith. The argument consumed upwards
of two hours and was ably presented. What
action the court will take in the matter is
vet to be determined. This is case where
in the friends and counsel of Mr.. Thomp
son believe he was wrongfully convicted,
and every effort is being made to obtain a
rehearing in the case.

The jackson Appeal Case.

The readers of The INDEPENDENT are
doubtless all familiar with the jackson
murder case by this time. He was tried
and convicted at the present term of court
of murder in the first degree for the killing
of Bruno Laveille in Shelly gulch, July
last, and sentenced to be hanged. His
attorneys filed an application for new
trial and the case was called at 4 o'clock
yesterday evening.
Albert Jackson was brought into court by
Sheriff Jeffries and took seat beside his
counsel, r. G. Davies. He presented the
same appearance as when upon trial, TX
cept that he was perhaps little paler,
owing to close confinement. He wore the
crouched in his chair and continually
stroked his chin with his left hand, habit
that is peculiar to him, and batted his eyes
almost necessarily.
Mr.. Davies opened the proceedings by
filing new motion in which he asked that
should be stricken out according to agree
ment with County Attorney Nolan. Mr..
Nolan took exceptions to certain matters
contained in the paper which he said he
knew nothing about. The Objectionable
portion was erased and the document filed.
Mr.. Davies then asked the court to as
certain from the county attorney whether
certain atfldavits had not been sworn to be-
fore him as a notary. The county attor-
ney admitted that such was the case,
whereupon counsel for defense stated that
he proposed to prove that Mr.. Nolan was
not notary public and could not be under
the law. He the county attorney. was re-
quired by the law to prosecute attractions
of the law by notaries public and therefore
could not hold the two positions of county
attorney and notary public at one and the
same time. This was in reference to aft
davits made by the jurors in the jackson
case, stating that they had not been
influenced by newspaper reports. Mr.. Da-
vies then read their affidavits and quoted
authorities to show that the jurors were not
competent to make affidavits. He then read
an affidavit from Deputy Sheriff Isaac Hol-
brook, who was in charge of the jury, which
contained the statement that he saw a num-
Der of jurors purchase newspapers contain
ing an account of the trial; that he had re-
ceived no instruction from the court at that
time prohibiting the jury from reading
newspapers. This counsel introduced al
sufficient ground for new trial and read
articles from the Helena journal of the 18th
a. d 14th of March, endeavoring to show
s...t<, the articles would have tendency to
prejudice the jury. The balance of the
evening was then taken up in citing author
tiles in support of the motion for new
trial. The hearing will probably last the
greater part of to-day.

A LlLLIPUTIAN RAILWAY,
Nine Miles OF Tcn-Inch Gauge Road In
Mnssacll us cts.


wonderful railroad is the one
which connects the towns of Bedford
and bellevue, Mass, says the Albany
Argus. 1t is nine miles in length, and is
probably as unique as any on the globe.
Tho distance is not so astonishing, OK
copt when the gauge of ton inches is
considered.
In tho short distance traverscd by tho
pigmy it crosses clcven streams, with
bridges from five to thirty-hvo feet in
height. The rails weigh but twenty
pounds to tho yard, about tho size OF those
used in tho mines OF Missouri and Hi
nois. Tho cars and engines are construct
oil so as to &c worry near tho ground, in
surfing greater safety. Tho cars arc pro-
vidcd with single seats on each side of
tho aisle.
The car itself weighs but four tons,
the weight Of an ordinary car being
twenty to twcnty-six tons. The engine,
without the tender, weighs seven tons,
and runs with two passenger or freight
cars at tho rate Of twenty miles an
hour. There Is n smaller railroad than
this in tho United States-tho one in
