The Livingston enterprise. [volume] (Livingston, Mont.) 1883-1914, 1890-01-04

period extending from april, 1886, to the
date of petition, at Ethan, No. % York
Terrace, the residence of Mrs. O'Shea.
Regents Park, Brighton, Addington and
Sussex. In an interview Captain C'Shea
said the charges made were true. "Of
course" he added, Il do not claim dam
ages"
Parnell has written a letter to the
Freeman's Journal. He says he has re-
ceived no notice of having been made
correspondent in suit brought by
Captain O'Shea against his wife for di-
vorce. Parnell also says that since 1880
he has resided at Captaia O'Shea's house
at Ethan. He was frequently there
when O'Shea was absent, but the latter
was cognizant of his being there. He
declares that Houston, secretary of the
Loyal ard Patriotic union, instigated
CShea to institute proceedings for di-
yorce in order to diminish the damages
which may be awarded Parnell in his
libel suit ag;. & the Times.
A Bismarck dispatch says: Governor
Mellette says South Dakota will be
obliged to sos ..p some of her ilstitu
tions. The receipts Of the state will fall
SO far short of expenses that there is ap-
parently no other alternative. In North
Dakota Governor Miller, in his message
to the legislature, estimated the def
cheney for the first year at nearly $780,
900, and called attention to the impera
tive need and Importance of the strict
est economy in all departments of the
new state. Subsequent developments
show the governor understated the de-
fciency and the outlook is little better
than bankruptcy if his aavice is not fol
lowed.
A fire occurred Saturday night in the
old st. Ignatius church building on
Market street. San Francisco. 1t was
occupied on the first and second floors
by stores and offices and on the upper
floors by roomers. An old lady, Miss
Copeland, was overcome by the smoke
and fell into the flames and perished
Mrs. Evans, who attempted to rescue
her, was severely injured. Two firemen
were badly injured by falling ladder.
After the fire was out it was found that
two more persons had perished. The
body of Mrs. Crowell, roomer in the
attic of the building, was found lying
across the threshold of her room door,
where she had been overcome by suffo-
cation.
A mob Of several hundred men vent
to the jail at Barnwell court house, S..
c., at 2 o'clock Saturday morning, over
powered the jailer and took out eight
negroes charged with murder. These
were Ripley johnson and Mitchell Ad-
ans, charged with numbering man
named Hefferman, and six others,
charged with numbering young Martin.
The prisoners were taken out of town
and shot to death. The jailer was tied
and forced to accompany the lynchers.
The whole thing was conducted in a
very skillful manner, the citizens of the
town not knowing anything about it. A
great number OF negroes are collected at
the scene of the lynching and more
trouble is anticipated.
Dakota was visited by severe snow
storm on Sunday Advices received at
St. Paul Monday Indicate that it ex-
tended over a large area. Rumors were
rife in the newspaper offices that many
wires west Of here were down and that
travel was delayed. The center of dis
turbance appears to have been at Huron,
where the wind veered to north and the
storm increased until it became a VERT
able blizzard, blowing fifty miles an
hour. The,memorable experiences of two
years ago prevented people from unduly
exposing themselves on the prairies and
no bad results are anticipated. The
storm has been marked in places by
singular phenomena. At Winona, Mimi,
rain descended in great sheets and the
whole city was flooded. When the rain
stopped the mercury fell rapidly-30 de-
grees in three hours. At other points
electrical disturbances preceded the fall
of snow. Duluth was visited with a Sc
we're blizzard, ushering in the heaviest
snow fall of the season. Much damage
has been done in the city and the street
cars are blockaded. Trains are delayed
by drifts six feet deep in many places.
Following the announcement yester-
day that the Pennsylvania Coal company
had closed down elevel of its fourteen
collieries and the Delaware & Western
company six of it's mines, comes the
news that the Hilliard Coal and Iron
company, working the Erie railroad
mines of Forest City, Germain and
Pleasant Valley, with nearly 5000 work
men, has also shut down. The individ-
ual operators all through the valley, be-
ing unable to secure cars, have also shut
down until trade conditions are i'm
proved. These individual collieries
number dozen or more, and will aver
age 25O men and boys each. The an
nouncement is also made that the Della
ware & Hudson Canal company will at
the end of the week shut down fifteen of
it's collieries, about half it operates he
tween Carbondale and Plymouth. The
closing of the company works and indi-
vidual mines will cause the idleness of
upwards of $1,000 men and boys, and
this is quite likely to be added to by
large number of workmen who will be
thrown out of employment by the shut
ting down of the mines of the Wilkes
barre and Susquehanna coal companies
in the Wyoming region.
