SENATOR JONES AyD OLD MAN BRoWN

John Jones lives next to Thomas t3roWh'
And both are farmers too;
Rut ZONES has credit in the town,
While Brown has run his through. ~
Roth had an equal start in life,
And both worked hard and well;
>,,,f in the worlds great din and strife
One rose-the otNer fell.
The one is known as cold Man Brown
His folks are stupid and good;
But Brown and family are GOWN
So say the neighborhood.
The other, known as Senator Jones"
Has wife and children ten,
And his wise head and silver tones
S1it we'll this leader of men.
Broad acres, fenced around and tiled
Fair daughters, manly sons
A happy home, a purse wcil-filled--
All these belong to Jones.
If YOU would like to know the cause
OF his wide difference,
Now mark you WE'LL and pause
IU test YOUR common sense.
The Browns no papers took-they thought
1t a waste as some still do;
But Jones-he books and papers bought
And his family read them through!

From The NashViIIe AMERICAN.
Democratic senators must stand together;
they must remember that the victory '%hich
seated Grover Cleveland in the presidential
chair was won the tariff issue. 1t is
apparent TO every one that the republican
senators are uniting in order to defeat the
Wilson bill, hoping to receive the aid of
certain sore and disgruntled democrats. 1t
is therefore incumbent upon democrats to
band together and stand firm in the fight
for tariff reform. Tariff reform defeated,
the party is defeated.

New Trans-COntinental Railway Con-
templated by an English
Syndicate.

MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Nov. 2S.-The
Atlantic and Pacific Railway Construc-
ton company, a corporation chartered in
Illinois, and behind which, it is asserted,
are powerful English syndicates, has had
a corps of sixteen engineers at work here
a week, surveying a line through Carbon
county and Mauch Chunk. The railway
is to be an air line across the continent
from New York to San Francisco. Chi
cago will be brought within thirteen
hours of New York and San Francisco
forty-fve hours. An English syndicate,
it is said, will take sl5O,OOO,O 900 worth of
bonds and have placed a bill in the hands
of Congressman Childs of Illinois, asking
the governments endorsement of the
bonds, in return for which the railway
company will turn over 81 per cent of its
capital stock to the government. The
survey is now completed to the Delaware
river. Construction is to begin next
spring and the division between New
York and Chicago finished within three
years.

LecherOus Old Wretch,

The Hirshield divorce case is now
being tried at Fargo, and one of the wit
nesses testified that the wife had been
heard to say that her husband was a
Christ killer" That is not very pretty
language for a wife to use, but we doubt
not that a man who would seek to bas.
tardize bis own child to saw his money
would kill Christ or anybody else who
got in his way. Marriage is a civil con-
tract, and to be legal both parties must
be mentally sound for the contract to be
valid. If we were GU that jury all the
evidence Mrs. H. would need would be
the babe in her arms. We take little
stock in the testimony of some people
when testifylng in behalf of as rich a
mar az Herschtield and against a de
fenseless woman. The way we size it up
is that Hirshfield was a letcherous old
wretch, who allowed his passions to get
the better of him. Let him take the
consequences. We are for the woman in
the case.-Bismarck Tribune.

IN EARLY DAYS.

How the First Settlers on the Townsite
Spent Thanksgiving.
A TRIBUNE reporter CHANGED to meet
the genial county auditor, WI Beachly,
yesterday and exchanged the greetings
Of the season with him. How about
the first Thanksgiving you spent in Great
Falls" asked the reporter. Mr.. Beachly,
after thinking over the question a while,
fell into a reminiscent mood and related
the history of how he spent Thanksgiving
il Great Falls in the fall of 1884. The
story is about as follows:
Sat that time there were. as near as |
can remember, just three families living
in the present townsite Of Great Falls.
They were the William Warner family,
who had q board shack just west of
where the Milwaukee house now stands,

HOUSE OF H"ERSHFIELD,
Some Opinions Regarding a Branch Of
the Establishment,

o'i opibIohs NeSaIulHS d DTiHcI Oh
the Establishment.
The court of public opinion in Mon
tana, however, is an open court and one
that will not admit of perjured testi-
mony. 1t has already tried Hershfield
and found him guilty of total depravity,
of inherent unmanliness, and of con-
temptible pusillanimity.
Unfortunately, though, the court of
public opinion a impose no punish
ment adequate to the crime. In view of
this and in view of the fact that all law
is entirely deficient in the protection of
woman's virtue, The New Northwest
would suggest that Aaron be perma.
nently confined in some asylum for the
insane. Temporary insanity, as it has
been visited upon him, is of a dangerous
character-entirely too dangerous to be
given the concession Of liberty during
periods Of lucidity, for no one can know
the day nor the hour when it will recur
to its victim in an intensified degree.
Lock him up.-New Northwest.

DISASTROUS FIRE
The Large Clothing House Of A
Nathan Burned-Damage Will
Be Large.
ELECTRIC POWER HOUSE FIRE
A Defective Flue Was the Cause
1t Burns for an Hour Before
Help Arrives.

At l & o'clock Tuesday morning as w. d
Benson and Jack Enright were walking
home, Mr.. Benson discovered smoke is
suing from the upper story Of the build
ing occupied by A. Nathan's clothing
house. He stepped up to the front door
and. placing his hand on the glass, could
feet that the place was full of heat al.
though the smoke was so thick that no
flames could be seen. Sergeant Shea at
once pulled the fire alarm box on the
corner, while Mr.. Enright vent to a tele-
phone and called up Mr.. Nathan, who
was sleeping soundly at his residence.
The fire department was soon on the
ground and the front door smashed in.
The store Was so full of smoke and the
heat SO intense that the tiremen could
not get far inside the building and the
dummies which were taken out on the
street from near the front door were
about as hot as they could be handled.
A fire stream was also carried around to
the rear door where a lot of boxes of
gents furnishing goods were blazing up
tiercely. The department did good work
after it got at the fire, however, and IN
troll and practically subdued.
T~hree-quarters of an hour after the
fire was discovered it was all out. A
TRIBUNE reporter walked through the
store and found that the damage was
very heavy, but not a total loss. Indeed,
it is surprising, considering the heat that
so much escaped. The fire evidently
originated either in a pile of shoe boxes,
near the rear of the store. or in the base
ment directly under it. for at this point
a big hole is burned in the floor and the
whole pile Of shoe boxes is a heap of
charred fragments. When the fire de-
partment first reached the building they
found the fire burning in the basement
as we'll as in the main store. After put
ting out the blaze in the basement they
turned attention to the main store floor.
Mr.. Kaufman stated to The TRIBUNE
reporter that the stock carried by the
firm would run between $4,000 and $780,
600. Both the basement and the upper
story were filled with goods. He did not
know just how much insurance was car
ried by the firm.
The cause of the fire is a mystery at
present. Mr.. Kaufman locked up the
store about $50 last night and no one
slept in the store. There were no
stoves in the building, it being
heated by steam. and there
was no light except one incandescent
electric light In the office left burning.
Under these circumstances it is difficult
to imagine how the fire started. The CT
gar stub theory was the only one ad-
vanced by those present, although a
closer examination in daylight may re-
veal some more plausible cause. 1t is
impossible to estimate even approx
mately the loss at this writing, but it
will run up pretty we'll into the thou
sands, when smoke, fire and water dam
age is taken into account.

GREAT FALLS WEEKLY TRIBUNE, FRIDAY NOVEMBER so, 1894.

although it must have burned nearly an
hour before water was turned on
the flames it had not made
much Roadway. One reason for
this was the extremely solid con-
struction of the building, and another
reason was the fact that no draught
reached the fire, 80 that it smouldered
for a long time without bursting into
flame. After the fire was reached with
water it was soou put out.
1t was found that considerable damage
vas done after the fire was extinguished
and Superintendent Dickinson places
the loss at about $1,000, mainly in dam
age to the betting and wires. The upper
floor is also considerably charred. The
building was fully insured.
The belts connected with the electric
light machines were burned so that no
light could be had in the city and the
street cars were also stopped during the
afternoon. There was a great rush for
kerosene, candles and lamps all over the
city, and as the stores were all closed it
difficult to obtain them. However, the
energy Of the electric light company
enabled them to get things in working
order before 6 p. M, so that no great
Inconvenience was felt after all. The
fire was caused by a defective chimney.
The s%tovepipe had come out of the Chin
ney, and sparks falling down on the pen
stock, which was boxed up. set the
planking atlre. AS it was only about
three feet to the floor of the second story,
this 500 caught fire also.
One singular feature about the affair
was that the building contained about a
dozen chemical fire extinguishers, but
no one thought anything about using
them. Had they been promptly used
when the fire was first discovered, it is
probable that it could have been ex-
without outside assistance.
The fire serves to direct attention to
the need of better protection at that
point. A fire that would destroy the
power house would be a great calamity
to the city.

Fire at the Power House.

A serious fire occurred Sunday at the
power house of the street car and cleo
trio light company. which under less
favorable conditions might we'll have
proved a heavy disaster to the company
and a serious inconvenience to the public
generally. The power house is under
the charge of Mr.. G, H. Jay, who is
thoroughly acquainted with all the
means Of meeting fire, should it occur,
provided by the company, but he had
gone to dinner, leaving the place
in charge of an assistant, who has been
temporarily employed to keep the anchor
ice from forming. as it is liable to do at
this season of the year. This assistant,
who is Mr.. George Swan, was we'll
enough acquainted with the machinery
at the power house to keep it running
while Mr.. Jay was away. but knew very
little about the fire facilities provided for
an emergency.
fire was discovered about | p. "a. Mr..
Swan tried TO turn on a fire stream by
means of a pump which sends the water
up to a tank on the bluff but not under
standing its workings very well left a
valve closed which prevented any water
from coming to the hose. Finding that
he could not make the fire pump work,
Mr.. Swan did perhaps the best thing he
could under the circumstances and
closed up all the doors tight to prevent
any circulation of air, and then tele-
phoned an alarm to the central fire de
partment and to the smelter fire com
pany CD the other side of the river, The
central department received the alarm
about LOO and Immediately responded,
at the same time notifying the North
side company, The nearest hydrant is
located at the Royal Milling %company's
plant, about loo feet from the power
house. A hose line was laid from this hy-
drant to the power house, but little force
could be obtained. A hose was also on
nected with the street railway,company's
water tank on the hill and water finally
got to the seat of the fire. The copper
smelter fire company had also responded,
but being under the impression that the
central company would be short of hose
they had brought the hydrant end of
the hose across the bridge fret and were
obliged to reverse the pose and hitch on
to the pump on the other side. Fortu-
nately the fire burned very slowly, and
