Some Hours.
Outrage Perpetrated by Masked
Men on a Watchman at

LIVINGSTON, March 27.-[special. WIN.
". Hart. who has for several months past
neens employed RS n watchman in the
Northern Pacific yards and nronnd the ma
chine shops at this place, last night was
roughly handled by five masked men.
Hart's trouble with the railroad men dates
back to the switchmen's strike which oc-
CURED here several months ago, and he was
AZ that time supposed to be detective In
the employ of the company and several
times received warning to leave town or VEN
geanse would be visited upon him. He
paid 50 heed to these warnings and did not
believe he was in any danger. After the
switchmen's strike was settled, Hart was
employed to watch the coal docks and other
property Of the company. Supt. j. d. Finn
OF the Montana division, had been apprised
OF the fact that quantities of coal were be-
ing nightly carried away, not only by en-
ployes but by men who had never been in
the employ of the railroad company, and
Hart n ,s employed to watch the company's
property.
While on duty last night he noticed two
men enter the car shops, and followed.
When he came up to them he asked what
they wanted. One OF them replied that it
was nolle Of his damned business and cried
out, "Seize him, boys!'' The watchman
was seized from behind and thrown to the
floor, pistol placed at his head, and he
was warned that if he made an outcry he
would be killed on the spot. His assailants
then walked him down to the stockyard,
where he was given the choice of being
shot or leave town at once. He chose the
latter. and was then relieved of his cloth
ing, painted from head to foot with stack
paint and japan, after which feathers were
added. Hart was then led across the yell
lowstone river railroad bridge and ordered
to leave at once His assailants then left
him after relieving his clothes of his re-
volvder and what money they contained and
binding his hands behind HIS back. *
Hart made his way back to town by
circuitous route walking more than mile
up the river and recrossing the scream on
the county wagon bridge. He has been con-
fined t. his room all day, bnt it is not an

On the GOA6Ls
NonYoLw, Va, March 27.--The Norwegian
bark Dictator, from Pensacola, Fla, for
England, with lumber, and carrying crew
OF fifteen and the captains young wife and
three -year-old boy, came ashore in strong
easterly gale this morning, two miles north
OF Virginia Beach hotel. The weather was
80 thick that the vessel WAS not asen until
nine O'Clock and then she was on the break
ers broad side on, quarter OF mile from
the shore. Crews from two life-sayin0 sta
tions we're promptly on hand but coald not
use their boats because Of the tremendous
surf. They tried repeatedly to fire n life
line over the ship, but the guns could not
deliver the lines so far. The ship finally
succeeded in getting line ashore, tied to n
barrel which the surf carried in. The breech-
os buoy was quickly rugged and sent
out, but unfortunately the sailors seemed
ignorant Of its use and work was delayed
until the life savers wrote instructions and
sent them to the ship in bottle over the
HE line. The crew then proceeded to carry
out Instructions. The first man was deliy-
cred ashore in eight minutes and seven
others were rescued before sunset. four
coming in the life boat, which capsized in
the.suf. They were rescued with great diff
Guilty, half dead. The beach was lined
with people from country houses and the
hotel and to the spectator the anxiety and
suspense was awful. At niohtfall there
were still nine persons ON the bark, includ-
ing the captain, his wife and little child.
The captain had urged his wife all day to
take the buoy and come ashore,
but she steadfastly refused to
leave her husband and child, as only one
could be brought at time. Soon after dark
the bark went to pieces in n tremendous
sea and the captains wife and six sailors
were lost. just before the ship broke up
the captain jumped into the sea with his
son strapped to his back and reached the
shore alive. but the boy was lost, making
total of eight lives.

BUSINESS MEN OF BUTTE.

In Mass Convention They Take Action ON
the Anaconda Trouble.
BUTTE, March 27.-[special. An enthu-
siastic mass meeting of the business men of
Butte was held at the court house tonight
under the auspices of the Butte board of
trade. Every seat in the district court
room was occupied and dozens Of men
stood around the doorway to listen to the
proceedings. The meeting was called to
consider the situation between the Ana
conda company and the Northern Pacific
and Union Pacific Railroad companies, and
to take some action in the premises. The
sense of the meeting, as expressed in
number of speeches, was that the merchants
and shippers of Butte would stand by the
Anaconda company though the heavens
should fall. The resolutions, prepared by
committee appointed for the purpose,
and afterwards adopted by the meeting,
took a milder tone. The resolutions were
addressed to Manager Clark, of the Union
Pacific and President Oakes, of the North
ern Pacific and deprecated any idea of die
tation or any mode of address other than OF
respectful suggestion. They set forth the
injury that resulted to Butte and Ana
COHua Dy GN6 CLOSING Oh bu0 mines
and smelters and asked that the existing
difficulty be speadily and amicably settled.
They also drew the attention of the rail-
road magnates to the fact that other rail
roads are pointing this way, and mildly
suggested the probable attitude of the COM
munities of Butte and Anaconda towards
their roads in case they do not now comply
with the wishes of the people.
Gen. Warren thought arrangements
should be made for IN adjourned meeting
for the Board of Trade to take defnits ac-
tion in the matter and characterized the
present action of the board MS merely
throwing salt ON the railroad company's
tail. The resolutions were signed by Presi-
dent Barrett and Secretary Casey, in their
official capacity, and by most of the bust
ness men present. They were then deliv-
cred too committee to circulate around
town for signatures, and when all the busi-
ness men have been seen, the resolutions
will be telegraphed to Now York.

S50,O00,OOO TO REDEEM.
That amount of Four and y Half Bonds
Outstanding.

Ihat a mount OF Four ana Hail bonds
Outstanding.
WASHINGTON, March 27.--The AZ per cent.
loan. of which little more than $4,000, 600
is now outstanding will mature September
next. Treasury officials say there will be
no trouble whatever in meeting it, and that
it was regarded as a matter of SO little con-
Germ that it was not thought necessary to
bring it to the attention of congress. The
department. stands ready now to redeem
these bonds with interest to maturity, and
the small amount presented each day is
taken as mn indication that holders are in
no particular hurry to dispose of it. A
prominent official said this afternoon that
the department will be able to redeem
them all on the date OF maturity if they
shall be presented, but the history of all
government loans indicate that thera is no
possibility of such a thing, and that it will
be found that large amount of these
bonds will not be presented for redemption
for many months after interest has ceased
to run.
While the available cash balance in the
treasury il only about $4,000, 600, the gov
ernment has about $50, ,0oo 900 additional on
deposit in national banks, which can be
used in case of necessity.

Some of Them viii Soon Expire--Wiil
Rates Come Down?
BosToN, March 27.-Practical Electricity
Will, IN its'Saturday issue, say: 1.-The Oft
repeated assertion that telephone service
cannot be afforded at lower rate than
that which prevails in most of our large
cities, and the oft-repeated statement on
the part OF the American Bell monopolists
that the larger the business the larger the
expense is contrary to all known
data of commercial science-have of late
received most convincing setback. As
everybody knows, the fundamental Bell
patents have expired in Great Britain. In
1888 the same patents will expire in the
United States. BY reason of certain ad-
verse judicial decisions there exists just
across the border, in Canada, state of af-
fairs which is plainly indicative Of what
will take place here in 1888. To-day Mon
treal furnishes the cheapest telephone GER

lished Bell company demands only S25
year for either residential or business houses.
The opposition company the Federal Tele-
phone company, which brought rates to
their present basis, charges $35 year for
business houses and 1926 a year for resi-
dences. Both concerns are doing lively
business. The local 'Bell' company has
about 5000 Subscribers in the CITY, and the
opposition company has about $500 SUBJ
scribers. Both organizations use the same
apparatus. This reduction in telephone
rates not only applies to cities with from
5000 to 10000 subscribers. but is also tax
ing place in Berlin, which has even
larger number of subscribers, also in Lon
don, where the rates have been reduced
from A15 to E10 per annum. What better
evidence than these facts can be adduced
to prove that the business can be
done, and is being done to-day. in the
largest cities of the world, when the patents

country will regulate the rates SO rs to con-
form to these. in some iEst proportion, af-
ter the patent monopoly on the Bell and

WASHINGTON, March 27.--The trial OF

After putting in some cumulative evidence
the prosecution rested it's case and Gen.
Grosvenor made the opening address for
the defense. He said the testimony to be
presented would show that Kincaid had
acted in self defense.
Grosvenor recalled Sam Donaldson and
asked him II, about two weeks before the
shooting he did not remember standing on

was not defaulter to the state treasury to
the extent Of 5000; and whether he was
not short in his accounts as doorkeeper of

questions.
Several physicians testified to Kincaid's 8
feeble and nervons condition at the time Of
the shooting. w. s, Heath, a correspond
