Q store in the building.
It was reported in the Register that
Thomas Stanley, vino competed with Mr..
Minor in the building, did not have ample
time to raise bid before the sale was de-
clared closed, and that the property was sold
for $500 less than 1t was worth. Concerning
this Mr.. Hinman states: ''Mr. Stanley lie
mistaken, ample time was given to raise the
bid. Besides that neither Mr.. Stanley nor
any of his friends were the closing competi.

AT GRACE M. Il. CHURCH.
a Delixhtful Entertainment Last
Night.

The Fourth Annual Fass.Day Tramp.
Several members of the Grays met last
night in their company quarters in the ar
mory to talk over the subject and arrange
for their fourth annual Fast-day tramp.
These walks by members of Company f.,
of which the coming one is the fourth, occur
annually on Good Friday, and are extended
to considerable distance into the adjoining
counties. Their aim is to walk as far as
possible in eight or ten hours, making an
average of from three to four miles an hour,
and by making connections with some rail-
| road return home by train.
Since much pleasure and benefit has been
derived from such wanderings in the past,
| creased enthusiasm at the prospect of q
good days sport, at the same time testing
| their powers of endurance as overland Pc
destrians. The places visited by them In
| the past are as follows: In 1887 they visited
the town of Cheshire, 1888 Southford on the
New England road, 1889 the town of Deep
River, Middlesex county, returning by way
OF the Hartford I'd and Connections railroad,
connecting at Middletown with the Air Line
for home. This year, the weather per-
hitting, their intention is to extend
their walk across country to Ganbury, a
distance of about thirty-6ve miles, passing
through the towns of Derby, Monroe, and on
arriving at Botsford stopping long enough for
dinner, when the march will be continued
through Bethel to Danbury, where a short
stop will be made for rest and refreshments.
The party will then seek to make connection
with some one of the railroads oenterine
there for the purpose of returning
home. This years number will con-
sist of eight citizen soldiers, the majority
of whom will meet at the residence
of Sergeant G. T. Greuner at O'Clock to-
morrow morning, where they will breakfast
by invitation of the above named host. The
remaining ones will join the party at other
points in the city. The party will consist of
Sergeants G. T. Greuner and J. j. Phelps,
Corporal J. E Mccain, Privates E. o. Greu-
ner, John e. Cannon, John Dsggett, F. F.
Norman and L L. Norton. They regret that
many of the members who have taken part
in the previous excursions are unable, on ac-
count of previous engagements to participate
in the coming one.

Discussion OF tho m1@<sxan. the Pur
0Case In the Senate-The s>sha UI,ssis
3ourns Out of Respect for the-Th
CONGRESSMAN WILDER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April An the SEN
ate to-day the conference report on the ur-
gent degciency bill was presented and agreed
to.
The senate then proceeded to the consider
alton of the Montana election case the ma
jority report being in favor of Wilbur f.
Sanders and Thomas @. Power, and the mi
nority report being in favor of William A.
Clark and Martin Msginnis. '>1s
Mr.. Hoar stated the case on the part of the
majority of the committee, the whole matter
turning upon the question whether one
set of delegates (who voted with
the twenty-five republican delegates for
Sanders and Power) were legally elected from
the precinct of Silver Bow or whether the
other set who voted with twenty-four demo-
Gratis for Clark and Maginnis were the legal
ly elected deputies.
Mr.. Gray, representing the minority of the
committee on privileges and elections, made
a statement in support of the claim that
Messrs. Clark and Maginnis are entitled to be
seated as senators from Montana. He COM
mented upon the finding of the canvassing
board of Montana which declares that no
abstract of votes had been received from
Silver Bow county, that they had exhausted
the authority" given them by the state in
endeavoring to obtain 1t and that it
therefore became their duty to ascertain and
declare 1t from the best sources of informa-
ton obtainable and he argued that the can
vassers had no authority 20 act on any infor-
nation obtained from any source other than
the election officers of the county, declaring
that he had never known OF such'a bold and
fragrant act of usurpation and that the MEM
bers of the eanvassing board Of Montana
(the governor, chief justice and secretary of
the territory should have been whipped at
the cart tail in every county town in the
territory. The title to yellow dog he said,
should not be decided on such statement
much less the title to seat in the United
States senate.
After further debate Mr.. Evarts offered
resolution declaring that the senate had
heard with deep sensibility the announce
ment of the death of Hon. David WILDER, late
a representative from the state of New York,
and concurring in the resolution of the house
of representatives for the appointment of a
joint committee to take order for attending
the funeral.
The resolution was adopted. Senators
Hiscock, Squire and Kenna were appointed
the committee on the part Of the senate, and
as further mark Of respect the senate at
