The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1890-07-20

The formal opening of the athletic
grounds yesterday gives to Helena a
place for recreation and the enjoyment
of outdoor sports equal to any in the
country. The felicitious speeches Of
Hons. E. w. Knight and A. c. Botkin,
the former throwing open the park to
the public and the latter acknowledging
the clubs worthy enterprise, set forth
the advantages and the benefits that the
present and future generations will de-
rive from this undertaking. The men,
bers of the association are deserving of
the highest praise for the good work
they have done and we hope the public
will continue to show it's appreciation of
their efforts by generous patronage Of
all athletic contests held under the
clubs auspices

We are having more enumerations, or
attempts at enumerations, in Helena
than. may be pleasant for the question
taxed householder, but the fault has
been Uncle Sans and not ours, and we
hope our citizens will give hearty aid
and encouragement to the mayors ap-
pointees, who will start on their rounds
this week to take full, accurate and
complete census of the city-a census
that will tell to the world-what the
United States enumeration will not
show-just how many inhabitants we
have. 1t is too late now to spend fur
Their time in criticising Speer or Porter,
the latter the more blamable of the two,
or to regret that we could not secure a
recount. The thing now before us is an
enumeration by our own citizens, for
and in defense Of our own interests. Let
every man and woman in Helena aid in
this work.

DASHED TO DEATH BY AN ENGINE.

Tramp Almost Instantly Killed at
 the Grand Avenue Bridge by she 8:20
 Accommodation Last Night.
 About twenty minutes post o'clock last night two men, evidently tramps, were walk Ing upon the tracks between the Court street and Grand avenue bridges. They were go- ing from the depot and did not see the 6:20 Hartford accommodation as it rushed around the curve in the cut. They evidently did not hear it until it was almost upon them. One of them leaped into the ditch at the right and barely escaped the engine, bnt the other was not quick enough and was struck and almost instantly killed by the iron front of the engine. He was also thrown into the ditch at the right. Both legs had been broken and his body had been horribly mangled. His head had been crushed end battered into a shapeless mass by the contact with the iron.
 tho man was dead. His companion was no where to be found.
 1 Medical Examiner White and Coroner Mix were summoned to the spot and the remains were taken to Lewis & Msycock's undertak- | ing establishment. The unfortunate man carried small bundle of underclothing in 1 his hand at the time of the accident, but this gave no sign of his identity. In his pockets was found nothing but small bit of paper upon which was written something in Polish characters. It was dated at Chicago, March 6. From this and the general appearance of the mangled remains it was thought that the unfortunate was Pole. His death had evis dently been almost instantaneous.
 The affair attracted an immense crowd to the Grand avenue bridge which overlooked the scene of the accident and another large crowd was collected below upon the tracks to the imminent peril of their lives from thf trains which were constantly shooting back ward and forward around the curves. When ever train was heard by the crowds upor the bridge they set up a general shout ane the hundred or more spectators below scram' bricks fin the neiRhboring walls till the traiI had passed. The 6:2O train which strucl the unfortunate man was delayed about if

PARK BONDS APPROVED

Fly Selectmen and Town Treasurer
 Protection for Grade eCrossinRs-Poor
 Roads In she Annex.
 Lawyer James P. Pigott, of Pigott & Par- dee, appeared before joint meeting of the selectmen and town treasurer last night to present the form of town bonds which are to be issued to the park commissioners and at his recommendation it was voted to approve this form of g bond with coupons to be issued in pursuance of an act of the general assembly of 1889 and according to the vote of special town meeting held on June IS, 1889 at which it was voted to issue $200, ,000 in bonds to the park commissioners, and 1t was further voted that the committee in charge of the insurance of said bonds and coupons shall have power to afix the proper dates thereto.
 Selectman Fleischner objected to voting money to the park commissioners unless they made purchases that would benefit the masses of citizens. He thought purchases should be made in the city first.
 Mir. Goodrich stated the commissioner had selected several fine sites in the city but were waiting to obtain the property at 6 raore reasonable price.
 General Sloat made a motion that the clerk report to the board what proportion of the $200, 900 would be expended pro rata in city itself. It was so voted. MT. Woodward appeared to state that the road in the Annex over over Granniss' hill was in a miserable condition. It was referred to the committee on roads.
 Town Agent Reynolds reported that the Pleasant street crossing has been examined and that 1t was impossible to place bridge there without destroying the street. A flag man, gates or electric signals are necessary there. He said that the Church and Center street crossings in Fair Haven also needed a like protection.
 Mir. Fleischner made motion that Presi- dent Clark of the Consolidated road be noti- fed of necessity of protection at these cross- ings and it was 80 voted.
 A letter from s. A. Galpin, receiver of the New Haven Wire company, stated that the l road in their vicinity was in miserable re- 1 pair The clerk was instructed to notify the company that action would De taken as soon ] a the weather psrmits.

 The Evolusion of che French Chateau.
 One of the most interesting of all the me chanio lectures given in the course this win- ter was that of Professor D. Cady Eston's last evening on the Evolution of the French Chateau. Beginning with the fragment ruins from the early days of the Franks, he traced the course of the various transforma- tions that occurred regularly iu the structure of the old castles. First of all. built entire ly for the purpose of defense in war, gradu- ally there creeps in truer ideas of artistic principles. The continuation of the French chatsau was reached by tho castle built by Louis, Duo d'Orleans, iu 1890, This mag. nincent specimen remained intact until talk sn and partially destroyed by Cardinal Rlchlisu in 1917. It was finally restored by the Empssor Napoleon III, who during his roi0u formed the designs that made France so superior to the rest of Europe in artistic development, from which republican France is unfortunately re- csding. Tho introduction of gunpowder, expulsion of the English and feudal- ism were the three causes that influenced the change of the French chateau and by the time of Louis XI very few are to be fouud. But to this day the French gentleman loves to wall up his neighbors, proving thereby his right to claim descent from the old Frankish baron. Along the Loire there are left number of lovely little chateaux which were not destroyed during the revolution and which clearly show traces dating back to the time of William, the conqueror. Fol this reason, perhaps, it is that the English are buying them ap with avidity. It was in one of these that Benjamin Franklin was en. tertained while waiting to see if the court oi France would receive him.
 | h the later chateaux the climax was reach cd in the search for style of beauty and arch itecture. They were charming creations and in comparison to the medieval castle were like tho full blown rose to the unopened bud On the northwest corner of Fifty-second street, New York, there is . capital rsproduc ton of this style.
 In Anishing, Professor Eaton made strong plea for the cultivation of the fine arts to g greater extent in the universities.
 The lecture was made doubly interesting by the use of the stereopticon.

The next event was an exhibition of fsr

The next event was an exhibition of fancy riding by Dan Canary, the champion. Dan earned his first dollar as professional in Lincoln rink quite a. number of years ago, and although it is a long time since 1888 it has not affected his ridtpg any, for his exhib. ition last night was first-class, and had it not been for the slippery heor he would have done many more tricks which he was unable to perform on that account. Dan is right at homo on bicycle and he often called forth great applause by the many difficult feats which he performed. His best act is to place his bicycle on two chairs, which in turn are placed on two tabls one ou top of the other. He also did many other feats, which were heartily applauded. His last tricks outside of his table acts were on the large wheel, on common buggy wheel and on the backbone and little wheel of the bicycle. ..
 The last event was the polo game between teams from the Hartford Wheel club and from the local bicycle club. This was what the crowd was waiting impatiently for, and they showed by their yelling and soreeohing at the players that they thought they knew as much about the game as the most hard- ened polo crank.
 The polo game, even for an amateur game, was not as good as it should have been, and although New Haven won, it was not by their superior playing, but it was the goal tending of Coan that saved them from de- feat. The home team did not play as they are capable of playing, and were if not for the poor work of Ripley, the Hartford goal tender, they would have been defeated. The work of the home team was not up to it's usual standard, Andrews especially hav- ing an off night, but he braced up occasion ally and did clever work. Bronson did fair work, but he is too rough. For the visitors Wood did the best work and showed good head work all through the game. The team, like the professional team in that city, had no chance to practice, and considering this fact, they played a good game.

THE CHARGES DISMISSED.

The Police Commissioncrs Sustain
 Omcers Dennehy and Roach Against
 Saloon Keeper O'Connell.
 It did not take the police commissioners but few minutes last night to take action upon the charges made by Saloonkeeper Michael o'connell of 2s7 Chapel street against Officers Dsnnehy and Roach. AS is we'll known, O'Connell brought charges some time ego against the officers, stating that they had perjured themselves in testifying that he drew beer on Sunday from pipe that ran from his cellar through hole in the floor to . small side room adjoining his bArroom.
 The first hearing was held about two weeks ego at the regular monthly meeting of the police commissioners. O'Connell produced his witnesses, the chief ones being Major w. Lincoln, joiner, Fitzgerald and Painter Jarolmon. All stated that they had exam ined the floor and walls of the room in quss- tion and that there were no evidences that a
 pipe had ever run from the cellar to the
 room. Another hearing was held week af- firm of Clerkin & Macdonald. plumbers and gasfitters, testified he had laid the beer pipe in question and had removed . board in the floor, and that now board had been put in to cover up all traces of the work. Last Friday afternoon the commissioners | and others interested in the affair rode to O'Connell's saloon and examined the place
 thoroughly. They were convinced that Mir. Macdonald had testified correctly and this practically cleared the officers from the l charges.
 Yesterday O'Connell sent word that he had no further evidence to produce. Las, l evening the commissioners voted unani
 mously to discuss the charges made by O'Connell.
 A discussion in executive session was held upon the accidental shooting of Jamei Ryan Sunday morning in East Rock parl by Officer Michael Connolly but no actioI was taken.

ALIvELY RUNAWAY.

Louis N. Fross's Horse Creates Much
 Excitement About tho Center Of the
 City. ..-...
 One of the livsliest and most exciting run- aways that has occurred in some time was witnessed by hundreds of people about the center of the city last night. It was spirit cd bay animal owned by Louis H. Frost, the Meadow street liverymsn. Attached to the horse was light buggy which the excited animal whirled hither and thither in It's wild run.
 The horse became frightened about nine o'clock ct Elm and Church streets and threw Mr. Frost, who was holdiug the reins, to the ground. It then dashed down Church, up Congress and Columbus avenues back through Commerce street to Meadow and around through Whiting and State streets to Chapel street. It was caught two or three times but no one was able to hold it. It dashed up Chapel street to Orange, creating general havoc on either side. Pedestrians rushed in every direction to escape the flying team. Several carriages were run into but none were badly broken. The animal then rushed about the blocks between Church and State streets several times, and crossed Chapel street four times in its most crowded quar- ters. When last seen 1t was dashing out Whitney avenue toward Whitneyville at . break-neck pace. Mir. Frost had not heard from the runaway up to late hour last night.
