IMPRISONED WITH A PLAGUE,

The Horrors of Cholera In an IImigrant
ship.
Patrick Murray, who came to America
in the steerage of the Virginia in 1865, tells
this story: 1--WE were at sea eight days
when the cholera broke out. 1t was the
black cholera, and it reached the ship with
the first sunshine after a three days storm.
During the storm, which was violent
beyond description. we kept huddled to-
gether in the hold of the ship. We had
not been on deck 10 minutes after the
weather cleared when the passengers be-
gan tumbling over with II strange ailment.
which afterwnrd proved to be cholera. We
had on board with us a quack doctor, who
was working bis way to America. He had
little ability and less medicine to battle
with the pestilence.
The ship was crowded almsst beyond
its capacity, and the plague had full sway.
1t swept through the ship like a deadly
cyclone, and the dead and dying were seat
tered about like flies on n poisoned plate.
The unfortunates would tumble over, and
many of them would die in 10 minutes,
Others would linger for two or three days,
and some of them even recovered. But
from the minute the disease struck the
ship there was an unceasing, distressing
wall that went up from the helpless suffer
ers. Without friends, without medicine,
without the consolation of a minister and
even without hope, the victims yielded to
the scourge as a suicide plunges into eter-
nifty.
II was not stricken with the disease. I
was constantly AMONG the dead and dying.
and l had positively no hope of escaping. I
went about doing all | could for the af-
flicted ones, and every hour my surprise in
creased that l had not been stricken,
While waiting for the disease to attack me.
! really became reconciled to the fate that
seemed sure to overtake me, and when oc-
casionally l would get a little sleep I
would wake up disappointed to find myself
all right. You can scarcely imagine how
completely abandoned one feels under such
circumstances Drifting about like a lost
soul, with nothing but death and horrible
distress in sight, | could have died then
with absolute abandon. We used to droo
the dead overheard without
But relief and hope came to us after
reaching New York. We were not allowed
to land. We were driven back to Sandy
Hook, where we were held in quarantine
for six weeks. Medical attention never
failed, and all the possible comforts were
sent to us every morning. The afflicted
weretaken from our ship to an old gunboat
which was anchored out in the ocean, and
there, for the first time since the cholera
struck us, did we begin to appear anxious

THE MARQUIS OF QuEENspERRY.

II MARQUIS OF QuEENsBERRY.
this subject to Lord Rosebery, but they
had been ignored. He bad also addressed
complaints to Queen Victoria, the Prince
of Wales and Mr.. Gladstone and had been
gracefully turned down by each of these
worthless in u manner that only increased
his wrath against Rosebery.
One would think that, as a rule, a noble.
man would not object to honors being be-
slowed upon his eldest son. But there Is a
history in this case. There are "a peerages
in Scotland. Forty eight of the members
sit in the house of lords in virtue Of being
peers of the United Kingdom. Scotland
has a total representation Of "a in the up
per chamber at Westminster, and the IS
who do not sit by virtue of being English
peers have to be elected by the Scotch peers
in conclave assembled at Hollywood palace
Mt the beginning Of a new parliament. The
Marquis of Queensberry was one of the
representative Scotch peers until 1880, when
he was deprived of his seat because he had
publicly announced himself to be q free
thinker and n believer in free love theories
In 1SSOthe marquis made a gallant fight for
reelection, but the feeling against him on
account Of his supposed remuneration of
Christianity was too strong, and he was
was beaten.
Viscount Drumlanrig was born in 1867.
His title WAS Il courtesy one. When Lord
Rosebery was chosen by Mr.. Gladstone his
secretary of foreign affairs last year, young
1:rumlanrig was appointed by the earl as
his private secretary, and later he created
him a peer under the title of the Earl of
Drumlanrig. AS the young earl will sit
in the house of lords. III homo which Is
denied to his father, the reason for the
marquis indignation is not hard to under
stand.
To the i'll will Of Lord Rosebery the
marquis attributes the slight which has
been put upon him. II mean to show Lord
Rosebery up, n I will,' he said. "IIe
escaped me at Homburg by shutting him
self up in his rooms or never going out with
out a bodyguard and by having my quarters
surrounded by policemen. But still l think
I gave him a moral black eye, and the time
will come when he will receive a still more
effectual one. l will not rest until I have
brought the matter to d head, and if an as
sault on the person Of Lord Rosebery is
necessary-why, l am prepared to commit
that assault. You see, my intention is to
SHOW up Lord Rosebery publicly, and
possibly my only chance of doing so is to
force him to bring me up before the law
courts for assault"

A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY
Washington Muzzy Directs the Atten-
ton of Montana Farmers to
Profitable industry.
Montana Offers Many Advantages
Over the East in Producing
Fine Pork.

EDITOR or TRIBUNE: Much is being
said nowadays about feeding wheat to
hogs instead OF selling it for the low
price offered in tho market. The pres
ent price OF wheat does no more than
pay cost Of production and marketing
while lis feeding value is greater than
mat of any other grain.
Certain farme.r Of Ohio claim +, have
made twenty pounds gaia in weight per
OusheI Of wheat, fed whole after being
soaked twelve 10 twenty-four hours.
This was probably done on the improved
Chester Whites, d large quick growing
pig.
Prof. Henry, at the head Of the Wis
consin experiment station, claims that
fifteen pounds gain in weight per bushel
of wheat, fed as described in Ohio, is all
that could be maintained in continuous
feeding. The leadiog pigs in Wisconsin
are Polands and Berkshire, | believe, and
the favorite, is said to be a cross between
the two which makes ID smaller pig than
the Ohio Chester Whites. Fifteen pounds
gain in weight per bushel of wheat, east
ly gives us one dollar per bushel for the
wheat, besides paying us well for feeding
and care.
The great demand for hog product
and the price paid for it in Montana,
i,,ut,tac M farn,nr- -, f,,t ,-1.
that they turn their attention to produc-
ing pork instead of selling their grain
for such prices as now prevail. The
difference in labor in marketing grain
and the marketing of dressed pigs made
from the grain, is itself sufficient to pay
for feeding the grain on the farm.
Farmers here have a decided advant-
age over eastern farmers in raising pigs
for pork as we can as easily and profit.
ably raise two filters Of pigs from a SOW
per year as they can one, giving us twice
as many to put on the market each year
at six months old, and too, prices here
are double what they receive, while our
grain feed costs-even when purchased,
little, if any, more than it does them
and if we grow our feed, as We usually
do, we get twice as much per acre as
they.
These are facts worthy of considera-
ton and should induce our farmers to
get down to business and make the
most Of their opportunities and resources
| have been often assured that hogs
do not do well here-"they somehow get
sick ana die off"-while the truth is |
have nowhere seen hogs and pigs do
better than they do here. 1t is a simple
matter to grow pigs that will at six
months old dress $50 pounds. A farmer
can and will do this without fail; but il
requires care and intelligent feeding to
gain such results. With young pigs
there is as much danger of overlooking
as of under feeding; intelligent care is
required. WASHINGTON MUzzY.

PENROSE MURDER.
a Nan at Lake Crystal Surrender-
Himself to the Authorities. Claim
ing lie j. u Murderer.
He C0ntesSes t. tie Killing of Ed.
itor PenrOSe of Butte in
June, 1891.

LAKE CRYSTAL, Mimi, Oct. -. A mar
named Mccormick came here and gave
himself up to the authorities. claiming
to be the murderer Of Editor Penrose. OF
Butte, Montana, in June. 1891. He says
he has been a wanderer for two years.
and could stand il no longer, so be pre-.
ferred TO place himself in the arms Of
the law.
The story Of the murder is as follows.
At midnight Of Tuesday, june O. 1891,
". j. Penrose was found dead at the
corner of Montana and Gaiena streets il
the city Of Butte. The evidences Of d
foul murder. which has passed into his.
tory as one Of the most brutal in the
annals of Montana, we're promptly dis.
covered, but the details of the crime
have to this day remained a mystery, a.
though diligent search was made for the
murderers. Three men were arrested Oh
July -, at the instance of Pinkerton de-
~tectives on the charge of having com
mitted the murder. \ long preliminary
examination followed and the defendants
were held for trial in the district court.
a change of venue was obtained to Deer
Lodge county, but when the day set for
the trial arrived the prosecution made a
motion before Judge Ddrfee, who was
On the bench, to dismiss the proceedings
on the grounds that the evidence was a,
together insufficient to convict. This
mornings brief message is all that is
learned up to this hour regarding the
confession which the man Mccormick
is alleged to have made to the officers
at Lake Crystal. 1t remains to be seer
whether there is any warrant for his con
duct. The name Of Joseph Mccormick
is not found in the Butte directory for
1890 or 1891, and nothing could be learn
ed in Butte this morning of any man OF
that name.
