He Denies That He Has skipped and I'm
derestimates His Liabilities.
The Butte correspondent of the Stand
ard, under date of October 14th, says:
"W. H. Orr, the we'll known Helena
contractor, was in the city this evening
and emphatically denies the statement
made in some of the state papers this
morning to the effect that he had skip
ped. Mr.. Orr states that the article re-
ceived from Livingston in regard to the
attachment on him misrepresents him,
and that the facts in the case are quite
different. Mr.. Orr has now due him on
the High school building at Livingston
$6.4OO, which is held for 45 days after
completion of the building as security
against lien. Out of this amount there
is due the material men from him about
$500. Mr.. Orr has not skipped out, is
, working in Butte, and is in constant
correspondence with the board Of school
trustees of Livingston and has not yet
been informed of any liens or attach
ments being made against the school
building or himself. The report that
Mr.. Orr has skipped is certainly wrong,
and Mr.. Orr believes the falsehood was
maliciously circulated"
From this statement of Mr.. Orr it is
plain that he possesses very limited
knowledge of his affairs in this city. At
the date Of the filing of attachments last
week there was due Orr on his contracts
for the school building and poor house
about 81 500. OF this amount something
like $1,000 will be required to finish
those structures, which Architects Gal
braith & Fuller have been ordered by
the school board and commissioners te
) do This would leave less than S6.OU
due Mr.. Orr on both contracts, while
claims against him, including three or
ders covering $1,000, and attachmen
suits for like amount, making tota
of $4,000, are still to be satisfied. Thi
will leave at least 5000 to be in som
manner supplied by Mr.. Orr, eithe
through his own efforts or those of hi
!. bondsmen, before he can place himsei
!. upon a sound financial basis in this com
munity, any statement to the contrar

to that of two years ago, indicating an
increased population of over fifty per
cent. The increased vote in this dis

which is the result of this city's in
creased population. The registration

New York, Dec. 26.-Trade this
season is unusually light, merchants
being engaged in taking stock, but at
many points it is reported larger than
last year. Reports from other cities
show less comp laint as to collections
and large trade in progress. Boston
reports quiet wholesale trade in dry
goods, but retailers sre doing big
business. and shoe manufacturers still
have orders to keep them busy. Leather
is steady and hides are quiet. Iron
manufacturers talk more encouragingly
and the money markets are firmer.
At Philadelphia the jewelry trade is
unusually active; the grocery trade
light, but equal to last years; trade in
coffee and sugar fairly active, and in
chemicals quiet and steady, while
tobacco, liquors and wool are quiet.
At Pittsburg trade is unusually good
in all lines with iron and manufacture
ers more hopeful, and the glass trade
fairly good. At Cleveland the whole
sale trade is good, though the shoe
trade is dull. General trade is good
at Cincinnati and prospects very fair,
cigarmakers exceeding last years
work. At Chicago sales and collec-
tions OF merchandise exceed last years
in spite Of soft country roads, and the
holiday trade has been phenomenal;
receipts of wheat, corn and rye are
double last years and dressed beef
three times last years; increase in
-four is third, in cured meats II quar-
ter and oats, barley and cattle large,
notwithstanding the complaints of
car famine throughout the west; money
is easy and the demand good. At
Omaha trade is good, but money is

men were powerless. Fifteen minutes
after the first alarm was sounded the
occupants of the wing, 500 women,
were turned loose. Screaming fran
tically with terror, the maniacs sufged
through the corridors, where the air
was already filed with smoke. The
! flames were visible through it all. and
the sight filed the demented creatures
with terror. Superintendent Burr and
his assistants on the medical staff gave
directions for the removal of the
inmates and by their excellent and
valiant labors all, it is believed, were
rescued alive. The opposite wing,
where 700 crazy men were confined,
was saved. 1t is difficult to obtain
accurate figures on the loss. One OF
the board of trustees OF the asylum
estimates it at not less than $500, 600.
The patients must, for several days at
least, suffer great hardship. The
kitchen is among the destroyed build
ings and some time must elapse before
the culinary department can be re-
established and the lunatics properly

WASHINGTON, Dec, 3e-The admin
lstration is now waiting for the CHILEAN
president, Mont. to form his cabinet
and to discuss with that cabinet tho
course which he shall pursue. Since
the cabinet meeting yesterday 1t is be-
lieved that ultimatum, If such it can
be called, which was TO have been
sent next week will be deferred for at
least ten days in order to give the
Chilians an opportunity to gather their
scattered wits and to alight from the
high horse they have ridden ever
since the Baltimore affair. In diplo-
matte circles today opinion is more
freely expressed than ever that Chilli
will swallow her resentment and apollo
gize as she ought to do, not because
Chilli is given to apologies, but because
England and Germany have let 1t be
distinctly understood through their
ministers in Santiago that an apology
must be forthcoming.

WARLIKE ACTIONS.
UNCLE SAM GETTING READY FOR
SOMETHING.
There is No War in Sight, but Rumors
are Thick and Washington Cor
respondents Can See no Other Way
Out OF the CHILEAN Difficulty.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-At the Wash.
ington navy yard today several hun
dred men were busily engaged at work
upon the guns of the navy. The navy
yard is the most compile gun plant on
earth, not excepting that OF the cele-
brated Krupp in Germany. There are
all ready for service 17S guns, ranging
in calibre from four to twelve inches.
The twelve inch barker which was
tested at Indian Head a short time ago
is to be shipped to San Francisco to-
day and there are number OF others
of the same size which will be read y
for proving within week. An order
was sent today to League Island navy
yard at Philadelphia, for an immediate
shipment to San Francisco OF $4,000
pounds OF prismatic powder and II,
600 six-inch shells.
Still warlike preparations are pro-
ceeding in ali directions and orders
have been sent to the Hotchkiss Gun
company for supply of Howell tor
pedOes. Powder mills have been COM
municated with for information con-
corning their ability to turn out large
quantities of powder for the navy on
short order. The naval armory here
is running twelve hours day instead
of eight. The San Francisco did moi
stop at Monterey for gun practice MS
it was reported on Saturday she would
do. The Boston, which would be in
bad shape If allowed to remain in the
harbor at Valparaiso alone, is steam
ing north but her mails have been sent
to Panama and not San Francisco.
These are war preparations and yet
the navy denies that any extraordi-
nary efforts are being made to put the
navy on war footing.

first week OF June next an extraordi-
nary gathering Of Indians will take
place at Camloops, in British Column
bia. There will be present about
1000 Christian Indians from various
parts of British Columbia, and proba-
bly, number Of pagan Indians. Rev.
Father Lacombe has organized the
unique gathering and during the week
the Passion Play" will be presented
by the Christian Indians. This per-
Torrance is not, of course, the prime
reason for the gathering, There is
understood to be a desire to meet one
another, compare notes and consider
educational matters and progress in the
arts Of civilization.

A Knife Won't Gut 1t.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-London is in
mourning at the most joyous season of
the year. Since Monday we have been
enveloped in fog that for duration
has eclipsed all predecessors, and in
every other respect has held its own.
It cannot be imagined. To appreciate
it one must see it, Rooms with an
eastern aspect are as dark at noon as
at midnight. On low ground, such as
the embankment and the parks for in
stance, it is impenetrable. On the
strand, which is narrow thorough
fare, and on which every known means
Of securing artificial light has been
adopted, it is still impossible to see ten
yards in any direction. The streets
look like cemeteries. Every moving
thing has ghostly look Collisions
between vehicles are so numerous that
it is difficult to induce anyone to enter
a cab. Accidents to life and limb are
OF hourly occurrence. Seven people
walked off the Millwall docks and were
drowned yesterday. The mortality
from fog among those suffering from
lung diseases is alarmingly great.

Killed in the Rush.

LONDON, Dec. ga theater at
Wingate Head, county Durham, last
night was the scene Of frightful panic
in which, according to the reports re-
ceived here, at least ten persons, in
GLIDING nine children were killed out
right and many were injured. The
sight of slight blaze caused by man
in the audience dropping a lighted
match on the sawdust covering the
floor caused some one to start the cry
of fire, and a terrible panic at once en-
sued. There was Immediately wild
rush for the doors which, owing to the
savage crush and struggle, quickly be-
came so blocked that only few sue
ceeded in at once getting out. When
the panic had subsidized so that an ex-
animation OF the premises could be
made the bodies of nine children,
whose lives had been literally crushed
out, were found lying on the staircase
or near door leading to it.

her sister at that time but out OF pride
the extent ofthe family's poverty was
concealed from her, and she remained

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Dec. 2S-There
IS rapid shifting OF Mexican troops
taking place on account of the serious
proportions that the revolutionary
movement, under the leadership of
Catarina Cara, has assumed during
the past few days. That President
Diaz views the situation with great
alarm there is no longer any donbt. 1t
is noticeable fact that Cara is be-
coming more popular among the
masses OF people in the northern states
of Mexico every day, and there are no
less than 10, 900 poor destitute people
in the drouth-stricken states of Duran
go, Coahuila, Neuvaton and Sonora
ready to come under his protection
the moment the proper time arrives.
There will be great discomfort among
all the people in the northern part Of
the republic on account of the failure
of the crops and the action Of the gov
eminent in not coming to their relief
while they were suffering for lack Of
food.
