While the Farmers Movement" is
not party movement, it is largely po-
litical, because the relief needed must
come largely through legislation. Upon
few fundamental propositions all AL.
lance men are agreed. AS to details
there is nothing settled, that is left for
further consideration, and there will be
concessions. But upon the principles
there is no difference of opinion. Every
member naturally prefers to work with
his own party, and he takes his new
doctrines there for discussion. II he
outnumbers his old associates who do
not agree with him, he converts his

with the preceding year of g, 296, ,405. The
net earnings of .he Illinois Central proper
were ass, sol increase, 1,76l. The re-
port says the fact that the large increase
Of gross revenue has not been followed by
an equal increase of net earnings is due
10 three causes: First, increase Of stand
ards. which entailed an expenditure Of
81, 110,7I an increase of 1851 $40 over the
amount spent the previous year. A large
portion of this is due to laying in track of
"A, 600 tons Of steel rails and the second
cause was the submerging Of tracks for n
long distance in Louisiana during the un-
precedented Hoods last spring, necessitat-
ing a large outlay for repairs and pay
ment OF large sums to other railways
whose tracks were temporarily nsed. The
third cause given is the strike which tied
up the road i'm June.

Special Correspondence OF the Standard.
BUTTE, Sept 9.-The district court has
been occupied to-day with the business OF
arraigaments and hearing arguments on
demurrers. Al the arraignment this
morning the alleged doctors figured very
prominently. 4. A. Bruce and James
Stoddart Of the Liebig outfit have through
their counsel made motions to quash the
indictments against them and the argu-
ments on these motions were set for next
Saturday afternoon, September ~. DR..
Weyerhorst was given until the same date
to argue demurrer as was also DR.. G.. II.
Schultz. DIR. Peter La Chappelle pleaded
not guilty, offering no demurrer or other
motion. James Dillon. indicted for as
sault with intent TO inflict bodily injury
entered a plea OF not guilty. The same
plea was entered by Frank Forguer,
the alleged embezzler. Richard Dave,
charged with rape, waived arraignment
and was given until Monday morning to
plead.
An order decreeing distribution OF
property in accordance with the recent
verdict was issued to-day from the court
ia favor OF Mrs. Martha Borden.
The suit for divorce recently begun by
Mrs. Louise Weger Of Walkerville, alleg-
ing extreme cruelty as ground for action,
was dismissed on motion of the plaintiff,
she baying the costs.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon began tho
hearing Of arguments on demurrers. One
| OF these demurrers, introduced by w. Y.
Pemberton, occasioned no small amount
| Of merriment. Mr.. Pemberton held that
as his client was accused in the terms of
the indictment with stealing .
horse, he should he excused because
the statue mentioned only q
mare, a filley or stallion. The demurrer
was ruled out amid roars Of laughter,
while Mr.. Pemberton quietly entered into
the fun. The gamblers submitted n de-
murrer depending on quibblings over the
letter Of the statute. These were denied
on the ground that the spirit rather than
the letter OF the law was to be regarded.

Special Correspondence OF the standard.
BUTTE, Sept. 2o.-James Fitzgerald died
at an early hour this morning at b,
boarding place in South Butte. He Is the
second victim Of the railroad accident at
walkerville Sunday night. Fitzgerald
was foreman OF the ill-fated wood train
and fell heavily on the track directly be-
meath the wheels Of the first car. Ii was
deemed fortunate for him that he had
been spared from being crushed beneath
the wheels, one more turn Of which would
have sent him into eternity. However,
his skull had been fractured and so in
jured that when found he was uncon-
scious and never recovered consciousness
at all. despite every effort on the part of
DIR. Murray. the attending physician.
Fitzgerald was a young man, but -
years old last August, aud unmarried.
About three years ago he came to this
city from Auburn, a town near Spring
field, ILL.,, There he left mother, who
having learned by telegraph of his pre-
carious condition telegraphed last We'd
nesday that she was then just starting for
this city. Ii is expected that she will ar
rive on the Union Pacific late tonight
only To learn that her sou has gone. The
body has been embalmed, as t is ex-
pected that the mother will take the re-
mains east with her. All further arrange
ments await her arrival. Great credit is
due the railroad boys for their faithful
ness in watching aud caring for him dur
ing his illness OF five days.

This was his condition this morning
when he hired buggy from one OF the
