Thought to Have Becn FOulIy Murdered
sss and Thrown Under the Cars.
SHIoAao. Nov. 5.--A mysterious tragedy.
Iich is exciting much interest, elected q
provokingly unsatisfactory verdict from q
coroner's jury here to-day. The victim
was we'll dressed but unidentified girl. 18
to 20 years of age. who must have been very
beautiful in life. Her mangled body was
found in a lonesome railroad yard near
Artesian avenue and KenZie street, among
mass of tracks and standing freight oars.
The theory has been advanced that the
young woman was murdered and her body
thrown on the track in order to make it APP
pear that death was accidental. The cir
cumsthnce that no blood was found on the
rails or roadbodo favors the suggestion of
foul play. 1t is argued that IL the girl was
instantly killed on the track the scene of
slaughter would be blood stained. While
the front of the woman's clothes were
spattered with gore not drop had
flowed on the ground. Police Captain
kilpley said: Tho most remarkable
has come forward to identify the young
woman or report such girl missing"
The unfortunate was a blonde, with per-
feet features and curly hair. She wore con-
siderable jewelry and several bangles,
which bore the Inscriptions. "Effie. ""Wilp'

gave evidence. confirming the murder
theory, saying that when the body was dis
covered it was cold. Notwithstanding
this testimony the jury's verdict
says death was caused by
being run over by All engine. Their con-
clusion was based on the fact that heavy
underclothing might have absorbed all the
blood, and that the body had been horribly
mangled by carwheels and no knife or bull
let marks were discovered.

WAsHIEaros, Nov. L. Comptroller Matth-
ewa has made report to Assistant hocretary
Grounae regarding the claim Of Henry
Deyeune, of California. as surviving heir Of
Richards Cobe, trustee of the Union and
Trinity Land company, for the payment Of
two awards amounting to $l22, ,43S, made in
1861, by commissioners of claims against
Mexico under tho treaty Of Guadeloupe Hi
dalgo. Attorneys OF claimant recently ap-
piled for payment OF these awards, which
they referred to as having been referred to
the register of tho treasury. That officer
reported no record OF tho payment of the
awards since 1857. The claimants there.
upon insisted on settlement, asking only
that the department. decide to whom tho
money be paid, the actual claimant or
his attorneys This question was re-
ferred to the first comptroller, who institut-
ed an investigation, the result of which
was the discovery that the awards in ques-
tion had been paid in 1851. In his report
he said tho case emphaslzed the necessity
for statute of limitation with respect to
claims against the government, in order to
avoid dangers arising from the coDgidera-
ton and countenancing of state claims.
The registers report that the claim had
not been paid was based on an attorneys
error III the matter of dates.

The Anaconda Calamity Purely Acciden-
tal-yerdict OF tho Jury.
BUTTE, Nov 81 Special. The coroner's
jury IN the Anaconda mine accident rem
dered the following verdict to day: SIN
the inauisition holden before Judge Null
doom upon the body of James O'Donnell,
here lying dead, the jurors upon their oaths
do say that said James O'Donnell came to
his death by being crushed between tho
timbers and the cage in the Anaconda
mine, falling therefrom to the bottom of
the shaft. The jurors further say that the
fall of O'Donnell from his position on the
Gage was purely accidental and in his fall
caused those on the lower deck Of the
cage to lose their holds on the
safety bar and to be crushed against the
timbers, and precipitated them to the bot
tom of the shaft, and also caused the cage
to break the guides and chairs. The testi-
mony adduced at the inquest of O'Donnell
is equally applicable to the cause of death
of William Martin. Patrick Mulligan,
James q. Sullivan, John Ritchie, James
Roach, Michael McEvoy, Charles M. Evans
and Dennis Shaughnessy. The jurors fur
ther say that every precaution had been ia
ken by the company for the safety of its
employees. and that the shaft was in good
working order at the time of the accident,
and that no blame can be attached to tho
or its employees or agents.

PUGNACIOUS BRITISHERS.

Shareholders of a Mining Company Have
Rough-and-Tu
LONDON, Nov. 5.-At a meeting to-day OF
the shareholders of the Idaho Mining COM
pany, Mr.. Marden, holder of
1,5O0 shares accused certain directors
of being dummies appointed through
the company's solicitor, and said those
directors fees should be reduced. Chair
man Granton called Mr.. Marden to order.
Another speaker questioned whether either
gold or siyer had ever been got out of the
mine. Tho report was ulti-
mately passed. As the meeting
was dispensing melee arose between Mr..
Granton and Mr.. MAIDEN, who fought each
other all around the room, knocking about
directors, shareholders, reporters and 9th
ers. and overthrowing furniture. The
two combatants finally fell to the
floor, where they continued to
punch each other until Col. w. N. Moffatt,
assisted by the reporters, dragged them
apart, Both were badly distigured. The
scene enacted has never been equalled at
any similar meeting held in this city.

the Stand.

conda Company From Fault In
Is the Recent Fatal Accident.

GREAT FALLS, Nov. 5.-[Special. 1.-The
preliminary examination of Ed. i. Barnum
on the charge of robbing the United States
mails at Mann postoffice was called before
Commissioner G. d. Pomeroy this after
noon at four o'clock. The government was
represented by Attorney Mcdonald, of
of this city. The examination revealed
some startling disclosures, extremely dam
aging to parties living in tho vicinity of
Mann postotfice, and it is probable that
further arrest will be made in connection
with the matter. The testimony of Farmer
Carr was particularly startling. He swore
that during the latter part of
August he entered into a con-
spiracy with Barnum whereby they
arranged to secure package letters, cache
them under rock in the hills, and then
discover them to the community; thus
throwing doubt on tho guilt of Mrs. A. j.
Barnum, charged with robbing the mails,
and lending strong corroborative evidence
to her story that an unknown stranger had
rifed the mail pouches ON the night when
the robbery was alleged to have taken place.
In furtherance of this plan they took a
ranchmap named johnson into their con-
fidence and carefully made their arrange
ments. On Sept. IL, or thereabouts, Carr
and Johnson ostensibly went on an ante
lope hunt and discovered an unknown
man rifiing package Of letters in coulee.
The man disappeared, but on going up they
found sixty odd letters under rock, some of
them having been registered mail matter and
all of them bearing post marks subsequent
to Sept. 4, destined for parties in Neihart
and the judith basin. The ranchmen i'm
mediately reported their find to Judge Lee,
of Kibbey, and the matter excited consider
able comLnent, favorable to Mrs. Barnum.
Postofice Inspector Sackett, of Helena,
went quickly to work and soon managed to
obtain CO plete confession from Carr of
the above facts. He Immediately had Ed.
Barnum arrested ON the charge of robbing
the mails, and has since obtained consider
able evfdencp against him. Barnum paid
Carr and johnson 1856 for their share of
the work.
The case was continued until Z: 80 o'clock
and resumed with Carr on the stand. The
witness was severely cross examined and
made several contradictory statements, be-
ing apparently much excited. j. w. John
son was then sworn and told similar
story to that of the plevious witness. Judge
Lee, the next witness, stated that Carr had
made full confession to him. Three
other witnesses then testified, little being
of Importance upon the questions at ISSUE
The government then rested. The exami-
nation will be continued tomorrow morn
ing at $3.50 O'Clock.

In Its Decline and the World Is Growing
Temperate
Instead of drink being the rule now
among native Americans, it is the excep-
tion. II is rarely seen on our dining tables.
Church members seldom make II practice OF
drinking. 1t is never heard of at ordina-
tions and not often ut funerals. Thou
sands of children have grown up without
ever taking u glass as a beverage. Total
abstinence has become respectable and
drunkenness II disgrace. And yet sensible
people seriously tell us that our reforma-
tory methods must be given up, because we
have made no progress.
They say there is more drinking per
capita now than when we began this tenn
perance work. Will they please tell ny il
this means more whisky or more beer2 But
suppose it means more alcohol. will they
please toll us how much we would have
been taking at the previous rapid rate Of in

Tissue of Grotesque Falsehoods.

Cork. Nov. 5.-Mr. O'Bren. in speech
this evening said the Redmond and Har-
rington manifesto was tissue of grotesque
falsehoods. Just imagine" he said,
flour Irish members of parliament asking
Irish bishops to withdraw their letter and
repeal the sixth commandment only. The
existing copy of the Boulogne proceedings
was in the hands of Parnell's re-
presentatives. 1t was lie to say
they offered Parnsll the right to
veto a home rule bill. The only proposal
made as a solace to Parnell was to give him
consultative voice with MCCARTHY on the
details of tho future bill.

DEs MONIES, Nov. State election re,
turns make no change in the results an

officers below governor are beginning

that they have Sabin, orWsuperintendent,
probably elected: by plurality. In the
counties heard from he runs nearly hun
dred ahead in each. At that rate he will
overcome the democratic plurality at the
head of the ticket by about 5000. His gain
