Hotel Keepers In u Maine Town Bring th<
Council to Terms.
WATERvILLE, Me-, Dec. 2V.-The town Of
Skowhegan, in this state, WAS in a state ot
excitement Thursday morning on account
Of the closing Of every hotel, restaurant and
lodging house in .yhe place. The Propris-
tors OF tie hotels and lodging houses wore
notified that they must take out victua)lers'
licenses in accordance with the revised
statutes which allows municipal officers to
license as innkeepers and victuallers all
persons Of good moral character under
such restrictions and regulations as they
may deem necessary. On Thursday
they signed an agreement to close for
one week, and if not then allowed to
open under the old conditions to leave the
town. On Thursday morning the Hessel-
ton house turned away 1O8 guests notify
ing them they must seek entertainment
houses also sent away. large number. Al
the Coburn house Judge Whitehouse, of the
supreme court, was staying with many at
tOrneys and witnesses. The judge said: ''If
the hotels are closed will have to adjourn
court and 20 home."
A meeting of the selectmon and promi-
nent business men was held at the C0burn
with the hotel keepers and Judge White
house to see what could be done to adjust
matters. The hotel men received assur-
ances that the action WAS unauthorized and
they agreed to open as before.

RAPID Cry, s. D., Dec. 20.-Gen. Miles
has received advices from Gen. Brooke that
900 friendly Indians have left Pine Ridge
to attempt to bring in the hostiles. A dis
patoh from Lieut. Col. Drum, at Fort
Yates, announces that the Indians there are
quiet. Thirty-nine Of sitting Bulls In

have sent In word that they will return.
Gen. Carr has thrown out cavalry force to

II the force fails to intercept them, they
will be pursued and arrested. Gen.
Miles says no advance would be
made until the result Of the Pine Ridge
conference is known. big Foot and

the agency. No Indians except the band
mentioned are now going to the hostiles
and the Gordon is constantly tightening.
Gen. Miles discredits the report Of large
band OF Indians in the vicinity of Camp

further engagements are reported from the
lower ranches. The government herd is
located on Alkali creek and force Of
twenty men has gone to round it mp. Two
companies of the Seventeenth infantry
from Fort Russell are expected this after

Something About the Great Northern and
Montana Central Roads.
The Great Northern railway is an i'm
portant factor in the state of Montana. It
IS building up new and productive region
in the northern part OF the state and leads
the way to 18,0OO,O00 acres of free govern
ment soil, where the cattle, sheep and farm
ing industries offer an inviting field to the
settler. It has given Montana a competi.
tive line to the east and has done great
deal towards establishing moderate freight
and passenger rates. It's mission is not
fulfilled yet, however. The enterprisino
managers are rapidly pushing the line to
the far west and penetrating wonderfully

known to be one Of the richest spo.s of this
state. Heretofore it has been almost inac-
cessible and far from the busy world. but
early next year the Great Northern will
have furnished ready access

business mart of the earth. It is one of the
best constructed railroads in the world and
ITS service IS fully up to the times. It's

500 people.
Millions Of money have been expended
there in building up what will be a great

THE A. 0. U. W. GRAND LODGE.

Its Sessions Wind UP With u Banquet al
the NJ Merchants.
The grand lodge of Montana Ancient
Order of United Workmen finished up its
routine business yesterday and decided
on Helena as the place and the third Tues
day in August of 1901 as the time for the
next annual session. At night the members
of the grand lodge and their ladies attended
reception and sat down to banquet at
the Merchants hotel. Plates were set for
eighty. The tables were neatly arranged
in the large dining hall and prettily dec.
GRATED. They ate oysters raw with celery;
printanier soup; boiled California salmon
with sause mousse and olives and PARIS
ienne potatoes; bouchees regenie; supreme
of spring chicken; lavaliene. and French
string beans; broiled quail on toast; aaaort-
cd cake, oranges, macedoine of fruit, pyrH-
mlds, tuttl frutti ice cream; crackers and
cheese. They drank coffee and other things
like that.
After the banquet toasts were proposed
and responded to and the company broke
up late in the night after a happy time.
With the exception of some who were
compelled to leave the city for home, all
the grand lodge members were present with
their wives or sweetheartR. The invited
guests were Miss Murray, Miss Daisy Kins-
ley, Messrs. Jackson, Burgess, Eddy, and
Osborne, Prof. Romandy and Sam Alexan-
der.
Lacking but thirty members to make mp
two Thousand, and with many applicants
for admission to the various lodges, it is
safe to say that by the time the next session
of the grand lodge takes place, the Mon
tana jurisdiction will have membership
second to no state i'll the union, in propor-
tion to population.

ION CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES. y

Banker Kean Evidently Did Not Observe
the Articles OF Partnership.
CHICAGO, Dec. W.-Ihe assets of s. A.
Kean d Co., the suspended bankioR firm are
growing steadily less as proceedings in court
progress. Cashier Kapre testified further
to-day regarding affairs in the hank,
nothing startling adduced. w. j. Melon
aid, at the head Of the bond department,
testified that the net yearly profit ON bonds
was about $4,000. When the bank clos ed
of $36s, 600 worth Of bonds in the vaults, all
but 5000 were pledged as collateral. A
number of new cases were fled to-day by
persons claiming they we're permitted to
make deposits after the bank was insolvent.
Kean to-day delivered the articles Of
agreement made two years ago by which
Mrs. 4. M. Oliver became q special partner.
This partnership was subsequently, dis
solved. The articles contained this PECULIAR
paragraph: '"rhe business of the firm is to

THE STRANGERS GUILTY.
Eyraud Condemned to Death and
Gabrielle to Twenty Years
in Prison.
The Woman Overcome at Her
Sentence, but the Man
Indifferent.
An Able Argument Against the Hypnotic
Theory in Connection With tho Gel
~ ebrated Gouffc Murder.

PARIS, Dec. 2O.-Michael Eyraud and
Gabrielle Bompard were to-day found
guilty of the murder of Notary Gouffe.
Eyraud was sentenced to death and the
woman to twenty years. imprisonment.
Gabrielle, upon hearing the sentence, ap-
peared utterly overcome and fell back into
the arms of her doctor. Eyraud showed no
emotion.
The speech of the public prosecutor was
an elaborate and carefully prepared one.
In summing up the case in behalf of the
government he denounced the theories of
the Nancy school of hvpnotizers and urged
that the person who was hypnotized re-
tained sufficient will power to resist the
operators will. He said that Prof. Char
cots experiments showed that no operator
could bring a subject SO absolutely under
his control at to force him or her to COM
NIT a crime. The theories of the Nancy
school were on par with fortune
telling with cards. If such theo-
ries were once admitted personal |
responsibility will be at an end and the
laws on which society depended for protec-
ton would disappear in anarchy. Both
prisoners were equally guilty. The evil
dence showed that everything in the room
where the crime was committed was pre-
pared for hanging Gouffe and it was idle to
to reject the story of the woman, who was
as culpable as her companion, who had
frankly avowed his guilt. He demanded
that the extreme sentence of the law be i'm
posed upon Eyraud. In the case of Mlle
Bompard the jury must decide whether
there were any extenuating circumstances
In the part she had taken in the crime.

REAL -enATE MARKET.
No City of Albr., sn.,,
Such n H. S7sr-77.

A statement showing the Il
amount of real estate transfers bv ueo
heiena during the year 1880 should be in
'eresting to all seeking information of tn,
growth and business of this city. Such
statement. however, could hardly be taker
az fair record of the actual amount O,
property purchased and sold during the
year. The deeds recorded in the office Of
the county recorder simply represent sales
wnere an actual transfer of title has taken
place. 10 any one familiar with the de-
Tails OF buying and selling real estate, as
1nat business is conducted here, il is a we'll
known fact that where one sale is made
providing for an immediate transfer of IT,
tie. there are three or four sales effect
60 where the purchaser receives either a
bond Tor deed, or real estate contract, az
1t is called, both of which simply provide
for the transfer of title upon the pur-
chaser making certain payments at fu-
ture time. In majority of cases where
contracts are used, the purchaser buys in
tending to sell again before the deferred
payments, provided for in his contract, fall
due; in other words, purchases under the
real estate contract are largely for specula-
tive purposes. Many cases have been known
where pieces of property have been sold
ana resold four or five times before title has
left the original owner. One case is men,
toned where seven transfers by contract
were made on single lot, before the deed
was called for under the original contract.
II to the already large volume of business
represented by actual transfers of title.is
added the amount of property bought and
sold under real estate contracts, the total
Will give fair idea of the aggregate of real
estate transactions during the year 1880.
Taking the total of considerations named
IN the deeds recorded during the year as a
basis OF computation, it would be safe to
multiply that total by at least three to get
an approximate of the actual amount of
real estate sold. Reference to the county
records shows that 267l deeds to property
aRgregating $2.3S4, 400 have been recorded
from the beginning of the year to Saturday,
December 20. It is therefore safe to esti-
mate the actual amount of sales OF prop
erty during the same interval at 81, ,OO0. 900.

HE DID IT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
Succi Completes His Forty Five Days Alb
stinence From Food.

Succi Completes His Forty Five Days Alb
stinence From Food.
New York, Dec. 2O.-Giovanni' Succi's
fast of forty-fve days terminated at 8:15
this evening in the presence Of an audience
of 400. The worst attack of gastric trouble
he had during the fast was at O'Clock to-
day, during which his pain was so acute it
was feared he would collapse, but his in
domitable will carried him through. From
that time until S:l5 the pain oc-
Cured constantly, his distress be-
ing shown by the contortions
of his face and the nervous movements of
his body. When the cocoa was prepared
shortly after eight o'clock Succi arose from
his lounge and staggered to the table look
ing more like skeleton than man. When
he first slipped the cocoa, there was burst
of applause from the spectators. It was
doubtful whether he would be able to re-
tain the nourishment. but the uncertainty
soon passed away, and Succi gradually re-
gained his former buoyAncy.
Succi weighed 1O4s4 pounds this morning.
When he began his tast he weighed 1471z.
During the last ho drank twenty one quarts
of alkaline water and nine and half quarts
of Croton water, besides a little of his elixir,
which the chemists say contains no nour-
lshme ent. Tomorrow afternoon he will
take his first dinner. The fast has un-
doubtsdly been an honest one.
