THE ORPHANS HOME.

To Mako 1t Success tho Help OF Every
One Is Necessary.
For good many years the need Of an in
stitution to whose care orphans could be
consigned has been seriously felt in Mon
tana. The Sisters of Helena have now
under their charge thirty-sevan or thirty
eight orphans, but there are applications
for them to care for fifty or sixty more.
This they cannot do because they have no
place to care for them. Some time ago
Mother Josephine undertook to establish
an orphans homo, and her efforts have SO
far met with oommendable encouragement.
A lot has been given on Montana avenue,
depot, and Messrs. w. G. Hickey and John
Brady have made the excavations for the
foundation free of charge. VIM. Harrison,
the owner Of Baxendale quarries. has agreed
to give three carloads Of Granite rock.
while the cash subscriptions amount to
5000 or $4,000. One obstacle has arisen,
however. that is very serious
one. There is no water service
in the vicinity Of the proposed
ing to lay the pipes to it unless ordered to
do SO by the city. This the latter does not
seem willing to do. If the city will order
the main to the city limits, the water COM
pany agrees to continue it to the asylum.
Mother Josephine is not discouraged over
the outlook. however, because she feels that
when the matter is looked upon in all its
bearings the asylum will be considered a
public necessity-one that will aid in max
ing Helena the great city of the stats-and
that those in authority will do what they
can to further the work SO we'll started and
that will be carried TO a successful compile
tion by private enterprise.

tlemen of Cheyenne il there hiring moro
men to come to Wyoming. Little credenco

fled from ranches at midnight. Taylor
says VIM. Linville, who passed them
yesterday afternoon en- route fron.
Cheyenne, warned them of danger and said
he had seen q revised list of the rustlers to
be put out of the way during the second
raid and they were marked for destruction
Persons on lower Powder river have seen
several bands of men. strangers to the sec.

and evidently coming by way of South Da-
kota. While it is believed there ia nothing
in the report Sheriff Angus will send out q

MARYsv1LLE, May 15.-[Special. IA fatal
accident occurred in tho Drum Lummon
mine last night. Angus McIver, VIM. Minkle
and James Abbott were standing in giraffe
being hoisted from the 40O-foot level to the
nine hour stope, when the rope broke. Nc
liver was SO badly hurt that he died in an
hour. Minkle had both legs broken in sew
eral places and suffered internal injuries
from which he died this afternoon. Abbott
was very badly hurt, An inquest was held
this afternoon. 1t WAS learned that she ao-
cident occurred as the men were going to
their work in this stope at midnight, after
having eaten supper. They foil from a
point about seventy-fve feet above the
level The rope was comparatively
new. one and one half inch
MANILA, and had been used before supper
to hoist timbors many times the weight of
the men. 1t was developed that riding on
this giraffe was positively against orders
and the company was consequently exon
Grated. I here was no connection between
this accident and the late fire in the mine.
Mclver came hore from Canada, leaving a
wife and five children but short time ago.
Minkle was unmarried. His relatives live
at Dysalt, Iowa. The p. O. s.. of which he
was member have taken charge of his re-
mains. Abbott is now resting quietly but

A Loss Of About $4,000 with an Insur-
ance Of $4,000.
Fire started in the boiler room Of the
Mac mill, south Of Helena, about one a. m.
yesterday. In fifteen minutes the building
which il an old one. was wrapped in flames
a fire hose which was kept in the boiler
room for such emergencies. was the first
thing to burn. Superintendent McMann
and two mon were at the mill few min
utes before the fire. The mill had been
closed down owing to lack of water, which
frequently stopped work. They had gone
up the hill about 700 feet and around a
bluff to clean out the hsadgate. From their
position the men could not see the
flames and did not know the mill
was burning until they came around the
bluff on their way back. BY this time the
entire building was in flames. The men
were powerleas. as the fire hose WAS burned
and there was nothing to do but to watch
the work of destruction.
The mill was twenty stamp one and
with the building and other machinery was
valued at $4,000. It was insured for $1O,-
COO. Superintendent McCann says it is
qnite probable that new mill will be put
up as soon as settlement can be had with
the insurance people.

WALLACE, Ida., May To- Special. Two
of the imported miners managed to steal
their way out of camp and reached Wallace
carly this morning on foot. Neither could
speak English. An interpreter was secured,
however, and the men stated that they
came here under misrepresentation. They
did not know there was any strike in Idaho
and had been told that miners were very
scarce out here. They say that the other
men are all anxious to quit, but that the
guards watch over them very closely. 1t
was currently reported at late hour this
evening, that the rest of the non-union men
had left the Union mine and had gone to
Gem. They are said to have positively
refused TO work any longer, and quit. The
The miners are in high spirits and say they
now feel confident of victory. The mine
owners are determined, however, and it is
expected that more special trains will fol-

here tonight and NO serious trouble has 30

AN ENORMOUS STRIKE.

A Hundred Thousand Granite Cutters VIII
Stop Work To-day.
New YORK, May 15.-The executive com
mittees of the Granite Cutters and Paving
Stone Cutters unions have decided to order
general strike of Granite cutters Monday
morning. even if the threatened lockout in
New York does not take place. It is esti.
mated 100000 men will 90 out Monday.
The eccentric engineers and derrick men
have decided to support the granite cutters.
The seriousness of the strike is made plain
by the fact that the police in
at least dozen large eastern cities
are making preparations to quell
any possible demonstration. The strike
will be directed against the granite manu-
faoturers of New England and not against
the employers IN the various cities. The
longshoremen will refuse to handle any
stone from the New England quarriss.
Work has already stopped on some build
ings and will stop at others Monday, in

mont, the new state house at Albany, where

He Proposes to Shut Out tho New States
From Voting for President
WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator Hill has
created q commotion in political circles by
claiming that the electoral college cannot
be increased to 444 this year. He says the
twenty-three votes which are to be added
to the old states cannot pro psrly be counted
in the electoral eollege till the nav oon-
gressional apportionmsnt takes effect. He
holds that the number of delegates to
the national conventions should be based
upon the old apportinnment. Brice and
German oppose this view, bnt many of the
most experienced senators admit that there
is weight in Hills argument. Senator Will
son, of Iowa, one of the best lawyers in the
senate, inclineB to that view of the case. Ii
Hills position is found to bo correct, the
republican party will be the chief loser, for
majority of tho additional votes of the
electoral college are in republican states.
1t may take a supreme court decision to de-
termine this question.

The Waters Receding.

KANSAS Cry. May 15.-The Missouri and
Ksw rivers are subsiding, aud residents of
the submerged suburbs rest in safety to-
night. Last night great anxiety was felt as
the rivers were rising an inch an hour, and
fears in some cases were realized, for the
Kaw swept without restraint over ground it
had never seen before. In Argentine and
Armourdale, it reached the first stories of
some houses and flooded the lower floors of
nearly all except those ON the bluffs. All
night people were moving. To-day, how
ever, the situation changed as the Kaw re-
ceded two feet, three inches, and houses in
the more elevated streets are high and dry.
Those in the bottom are still partially sub,
merged. The total loss at Argentine and
Armourdale is roughly estimated at $780,
900. Tho weather to-day is delightful, and
crewds watched the floods from every avail
able eminence. The 10-year-old son of
John Feoley WAS standing on the banks of
the Kaw when it caved and no was drowned,
This is the only fatality.
