vision of the Pinkerton forces, and John
l.. LLOYD, sheriff of Silver Bow county IN
this state Deeney and Kelley are both N
jail here Hickey will arrive to-day. The
men are all leaders of various labor unions
here, Deeney being president of the Work
ing.nen's union and a prominent member
OF the Miners union. He halls from Bis
bee. Arizona, but has been here several
years.
The crime with which these men are
charged was one of the most atrocious ever
perpetrated in Montana At few minutes
past - o'clock on the morning Of Jnne 10
last they waylaid, shot and instantly
killed w. J. Penrose, one of the best known
men III the state. The crime was commit
ted at the corner of Montana and Galena
streets, which is not more than hundred
yards from where Penrose lived with his
wife end child, whom he had left only a
few minutes before he was killed.
The men are all masked and car
ried out their plans with a devil
ishness bordering on barbarism. After
committing the deed they ran away from
the scene, but were recognized by four
persons who happened to be near by. Since
the occurrence Pinkerton's men have been
at work and although they had the parties
spotted several weeks ago, they wanted
positive proof of their guilt. This they
managed to get few days ago and the
arrest followed to-day. The murdered
man was member of the state board OF
arbitration, and was the editor and pro-
prietor of the Mining Journal of this place.
Last winter while he was a member Of the
state legislature, and when the Miners
union presented a bill asking that eight
hours constitute days work in the mines,
Penrose opposed the bill, and thereby in
Cured the i'll will of the laboring classes.
The leaders of the labor unions abused
him at their meetings, and he, in turn,
abused them through the columns of his
paper, calling them professional working
men" and 'blatherskites'' on various oc-
casions. Some of his articles were di-
rected point blank at the men who are
charged with his murder.

Belle Billions Ambition Is to be Presented
at Court-The Countess Dowdger SUI
Refuses to be ReeoneI.ed.

Especial 10 THE HERALD-Examiner Cable. ]
LONDON, July 27.-The society papers
announce with becoming gravity that the
Earl and Countess of Clsncarty have gon e
to Hamburg to take the waters. Hereafter
we may expect the doings of the beardless
noodle who achieved notoriety as Lord
Dunlo and of his pretty wife who earned a
living for him in concert halls as Belle
Billion, periodically reported in society
gossip of the day. Since the death OF the
Earl of Clancarty the youthful heir and
his wife have kept themselves in strict re-
tirement, alternating between Malvern and
London. Tremendous efforts have been
made to induce the Dowager Countess OF
Clancarty to become reconciled to Belle
Billion, but the old lady comes from blue
blooded stock and declines to meet her
sons wife. She is very wealthy in her
own right She has not forgiven the pres
emit earl and says she never will do so.
Countess Belle Billion Clancarty told
former concert hall friend the other day
that nothing would induce her TO appear
upon the stage again Augustus Harry
has consented for consideration 10 break
the contract which holds her for another
two years. She said Friday" las she
calls the Earl Of Clancarty) was
more in love with her and
more devoted in his attentions than
ever. The height of her ambition, she added
was to be presented at court and she
meant to ''get there soon. When asked
about her child, now boy OF four, she
said that dear old Isadore (meaning
Wertheimer) was it's godfather and IL was
named after him: that he was taking care
of it and had made will leaving every
thing he possessed in the boys favor. When
told about Werthelmer's financial troubles
she laughed and said he would come out all
right in tho end. Alden Weston, the Amer
lean horse dealer, who is the father of the
boy mentioned, is serving out his sentence
of seven years penal servitude for forging
Werteimer's name and Isabel Dunlo's en-
dorsement to checks on the Bank of Eng
land.
Mrs. Langtry's present admirer, Mr..
"Abdon" Baird, appears before the stew
ards of the iocky club charged with foul
riding. Once before he got into trouble
and was warned off the course for life, but
his sentence was relaxed This time this
well known gentleman looks as II he were
the victim Of q plot. He is very fond OF
riding, and though he hates betting, beaten
he will go to any expense to buy another
competitor in q race. Consequently when
ever he is seen n the saddle his mount is
heavily backed by the public. At the
Worcester races last week bookmaker
mad two horses 10 one race and he asked
Mr.. Baird to ride. 1t was beaten easily,
although his mount was the favorite- Mr..
Baird asserts that he was deceived by the
bookmaker.

Pritchard Licks Smith in Three Rounds

LONDON, July 27.-The fight between
Jem Smith and Pritchard for $4,000 took
place this evening and Pritchard bea,
Smith in three rounds. Smith showed q
strohg Discrimination TO take punishment
and was easily defeated by Pritchard. The
fight lasted only ten minutes.
In the first round Smith took decided
lead. He gave Pritchard a heavy blow on
tina body, drove him all over the ring and
floored him twice before time was called.
Pritchard then seemed dazed.
In the second round, however, a surpris
ing change occurred. Pritchard was
sprightly while Smith appeared weak.
Pritchard forced the fighting with such
effect that Smith soon showed signs OF
having enough. Twice the men went
down, but at the close of the round Smith
was hardly able to stand.
The third round was a one sided affair.
Pritchard had quite his own way, and
placed his opponent prone and weak on his
back. The display was far from scientific.
Both men tried 10 settle the affair as
quickly as possible.

The Omaha Bridge Contract Valid.

OMAHA, July 27-Justice Brewer of the
United States supreme court this morning
announced his decision in the famous
Union Pacific Rock Island bridge case. The
decision is against the Union Pacific. He
holds the contract with the Roca Island aid
Milwaukee roads Is valid.
Justic Brewer in the bridge decision
holds, in substance, that the contract was
signed by the proper authorities of the
Union Pacific, was approved, was duly
authorized and was binding. 1t would not
operate at present to enable the Union
Pacific to be free from discharging its
duties. 1t was compelled by its obligation
to the United States government to hold
its tracks or property beyond the use of
any other corporation. The contention
was made that the time Of the contract was
for ninety nine years, and before it ex-
pired the growing business of the Union
Pacific would demand the entire posses
sion and use Of its tracks and facilities, and
that the length of the term made that void
which might have been valid. The court
held that no one could forsee the future.
If the changed condition of affairs
twenty years hence should make
the full use of the tracks necessary
for the Union Pacific, the powers of
court of equity would be equal to the emer-
gency. Furthermore the government was
not prevented by the contract from step
ping in at any time when Its rights were
abused and compelling the Union Pacific to
fully discharge its duties. The contract
was simply one to convert the money sur
plus to the use of part Of the Union Pacific
property In conclusion the court held
none of the objections well taken, and that
the contract was not ultra vires.
The court further said that the
testimony disclosed the fact that be-
fore the contract was entered into
the Rock Island had determined
between Council Bluffs and Beatrice by its
Milwaukee g. St. Paul. 1t had secured a
charter from Congress, ard negotiations
were pending to secure the necessary
money to do the work. At this point the
officers Of the Union Pacific sought those
of the Rock Island and prevented the
building of the bridge by means of the con-
tract now in question. This was a case of
q contract in which a court of equity may
decree specific performance. Relying on
the contract made by the officers OF the
Union Pacific, who had long experience
with the property and distinguished ability
as railroad officials, the plaintiff abandoned
its plans and negotiatiations for an indie
pendent line, having expended over 81 ,500
600 in building from Omaha to Lincoln.
The same considerations require that
like decree be entered in the case of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul. At the
conclusion of Judge Brewers decision
Judge Dundy gave his views, dissenting
entirely from the opinion Of his colleague.
A conference between the principals will
be submitted to Justice Brewer Wednes-
day.

In the House Of Commons.

LONDON, July 27.-In the commons to-
day Henry John Atkins, member for Bos
ton, was expelled for week for charging
the speaker with abuse of his power in
placing on record that he (Atkins) had
frivolously challenged the accuracy of di-
visions when the prisons vote was under
discussion.
Parnell claimed that several convicts
under life sentence, especially John DAILY,
should be granted amnesty or else treated
as political prisoners.
Harcourt opposed any relaxation of the
sentence upon DAILY, and John Redmond
urged that further inquiry into Daly's case
would prove the prisoner referred to was
the victim of a conspiracy upon the part Of
the Irish police agents.
The home secretary replied that the al
legged proofs Of innocence had already been
examined and been found inventions, and
consequently the sentence must stand.

WESLEYAN View Of Gambling.

LONDON, July 27.-The president OF the
Wesleyan conference today made an author
itative statement of the views OF the
church on the recent social scandals. He
condemns the doctrine that while cheating
was wrong gambling was right. Wesleyans,
he said, held that wrong began with gamo-
ling, either in the aristocracy's houses or
stock exchange or commercial circles The
churches ought to unite and obtain
legislation to check the evil. The president
also suggested among the means 70 be taken
to prevent gambling is that of preventing
newspapers from printing advertisements
directly tending to promote gambling In
conclusion, the president said many thou
sands of Christian voters had determined
at the coming general election to put moral
questions above party considerations, and
would return men free from moral stain.
