GEN. FAULKNER'S DOUBLE LIFE.
Letter I'm Which He Explains His
Devoted Love for Mrs. Brown.

who was convicted of being accessory to the
defalcation of his brother James in the Dan
vile bank, New York, but died before sentence
was pronounced, was made public at Buffalo
Saturday. For many years Gen. Faulkner
who was chairman of the democratic state
committee and who was conspicuous first as a
friend Of Mr.. Cleveland and afterward as an
opponent, sustained relations of a peculiar
nature with Mrs. Frances Brown by whom he
had two sons, now nearly grown up. His widow
now asserts that she knew nothing of his
double life, and contests the will by which
Gen. Faulkner left his fortune TO Mrs. Brown.
alleging that ii was forced from him by
threats. Friends Of Mrs. Brown are much an
nOyed by stories circulated about her relations
with the general, and they have made public
letter by Faulkner to Mrs Shepard, mother
of Mrs. Brown. These are extracts from il.
Il am anxious that under no possible adj
verse fortune or business management in case
of DEATH should she, who is more to me than
any mans lawful wife could be to him. and
they whom her brave, devoted love have given
me, be dependent either upon the sympathy or
charity of any one, especially any whose love
could not survive what seems to them the
great error of her life. l believe she is as pure
a woman as ever lived. l respect her as much
as / love her. l know i am unworthy such a
love from this woman. That sort of love ought
surely to be condemned with caution which
makes a man better, magnifes his self-respect.

WHAT THE MARKET AFFORDS.
The Week Has Brought Nothing New But
RaspDerries.

The Week Has Brought Nothing New But
RaspDerries.
The good housewife on her marketing
tour yesterday found that the only new lux
ury Of the week was raspberries, in fair
quantity, at 400 a pint. They we're not
tempting, however, and found rather slow
sale. A great many cherries have been dis
posed of during the last few days, those in
market being superior. They now sell for
3Oc pound. Pint boxes of Strawberries
have withdrawn to less favored localities,
and the quart boxes have condescendingly
come down to 25c. Bananas are still scarce,
as are also apples. Oranges are plentiful
at 6OM75c dozen and lemons 35@4Oc.
Pineapples are selling for 75c apiece and
cocoanuts 15c.
The demand for garden products has
been only fair the past week, though the
stocks have been for the most part we'll re-
duced. Lettuce is down to SOC a dozen,
eastern asparagus zoe a dozen and scarce,
there being none of the Chinese product in
the market. Mint SOC a dozen, and cauli-
flower Soc pound.
Fish of all kinds have been in good de-
mand, and the range for selection is quite
wide at standard prices. Salmon zoo. a
pound, roe shad &c, halibut 20c., white
| fish 2Oc., pike 20c., pickerel 20c., rock bass
2oc., lake trout 2Oc., oysters 75c., New York
chickens 75c. to 81, spring chickens, dressed,
| 81 pair; frog legs 35c. dozen. Ranch
eggs are plentiful at 25c. dozen and
creamery butter is staple at 30c. pound.
The butcher shops are stocked with excel
lent meats of all kinds at standard prices.

THE HELENA LUMBER DISTRICT.

A Striking Evidence of tho Growth and
Prosperity Of the City.
II anyone doubts that there is great
deal of building going on in Helena just
now, he has only to 90 down to the lumber
district, near the Northern Pacific depot,
and see the way the great piles of rough
and dressed material are hourly depleted,
to have all his doubts removed. A visit
yesterday to Gilchrist Bros. g. Edgar's mill
and yard we'll illustrated this activity. This
firm is, perhaps, the best located to handle
large amounts of lumber with slight ex-
pense, having two side tracks running into
their yards. Very often the material is un-
loaded directly from the cars and taken up
town, thus greatly reducing the cost of
handling.
This firm keeps three OF four mills in va
rious sections of Montana cutting for it all
the time, finding market for their product
not only in Helena, but shipping it to all
parts of the state. In addition to keeping
on hand at all.times full supply of the
output of the Montana mills. Gilchrist Bros.
for all sorts of hardwood, both eastern and
western, including California redwood, all
the best products Of the Oregon and Wash
ington forests, and maple from Minnesota
and Michigan. The latter wood is particu-
larly handsome and serviceable for flooring
in places where there is great wear, such as
hotels and dancing halls. The firm makes
speciality of this lumber, as we'll as be-
ing prepared to furnish. finishing of any kind
wanted.
After the inspection of the many kinds of
lumber in the yard, the next place of inter-
est is the mill. As a rule, when person
sees one finishing mill, he has seen them
all. But in this case it is not so. All the
machinery is of the latest and most APP
proved pattern, especially designed to turn
out good work rapidly. What it formerly
required four machines to do, is now done
| with one, owing to combinations used in
| their structure. The largest palmer and
| hatcher west of the Mississippi is now in
use at the Gilchrist Bros, u Edgar Mill.
The rapidity with which it does its work ia
| a surprise to the beholder and is guaran-
tee of promptness in filling whatever orders
for it's product may be received.
So rapidly has the business of the firm
grown that the enlargement of the mill has
been found imperative. This work will
commence tomorrow, and when completed
the result will be two-story establish
ment, 5Ox6O feet. Three new machines will
be put in when the improvements are com.
plete, thus adding materially to the output
of the mills. The company now employs
| about thirty men, and the enlargement will
add greatly to this force.
Gilchrist Bros. & Edgar are the sole
agents for Rocky Fork coal. and during the
season disposed of 210 cars. For domestic
purposes especially, this coal ranks very
high.

above. and the strain on the levees had be-
come 80 great that hundreds of planters
were fleeing to the high lands, Enormous
trees swept down the surging flood, and an
occasional cabin with some one on the roof
could be seen bobbing its way toward the
gulf.
Late in the afternoon a man riding q
horse drew up in front Of a cabin near the
river, and seeing an old fellow sitting on
soap box lazily greasing pair of shoes, thus
addressed him:

spanked the man of habits-spanked him
