GRAVE ROBBERS.
The Government BOND syndicate Pre-.
pairing to Rob the Depleted
National Treasury.
DEPENDING ON CROP EXPORTS
To Save the People From Evils Which
the Syndicate Could Avert
If DESTROYS.

New YORK, Sept. 13.-The following
announcements for gold shipments by
tomorrow's steamers have been made:
W. Fl. Crossman & Bro, 81, 00O,OOO; Has
kier, Wood Il Co., S500,OO0; Hard g.
Rand, 100000; Nesslage & Fuller, 500,
600; Lazard Frieres, s2,500,0OO; Handy
& Harmon, $4,000.
The fact that Lazard Frieres is an i'm
portant member of the government bond
syndicate increases the already great
surprise over the gold shipment. A
member of the firm made the following
statement to the Associated Press: "We
believed that during the first half Of Sep
TENDER a sufficient amount of grain and
cotton and other bills would be offering
and that the necessity of exporting this
gold would thus be avoided. Our ship
ment of gold is an imperative necessity
in order to fulfill our business obliga-
tions in Europe. We hope there will
be a temporary Suspension and that
within the next few weeks plenty of bills
will be offering and everything will come
around all right"
The firm asserts that the low prices
railing for our breadstutfs, the slow
movement of cotton and the fair supply
of that staple already in European
hands are the causes for the shipment of
gold.
The Hanover National bank has de-
posted 100000 at the sub treasury in
exchange for greenbacks. The sum of
100000 was withdrawn from the sub,
treasury this morning; it is a part of the
engagements announced for shipment.
Hardy & Harmon have increased their
shipment to S25O,OOO, making the aggre-
cato thus far S4,55O,OO6. Zimmerman e.
Forestry will forward 5000 pounds of
English gold tomorrow. j. Pierpont
Morgan, head of the government bond
syndicate, when asked as to a rumo of
the dissolution of the syndicate, replied:
THE syndicate is still in the field;
there has been no rupture;
the syndicate will continue to
do all they can to help maihtain the
treasury gold reserve at 800, 100000;
the obligations of the syndicate, how
ever, expired some time ago" Morgan
expressed surprise at the slow move
ment of the cotton crop and the present
scarcity of bills against breadstutfs. He
said that offerings of these bills would
be daily received in the next few days
and thus a safeguard against exports
will be made. The president of a large
down town bank said the syndicate was
accommodating gold SIS fast as possible
and that it would be loaned to the
treasury.

Opinion in Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-The concen
sus of opinion here is that the issue of
bonds before congress has had an op.
portunity to act is extremely improbable,
1t is argued that the shrinkage in the
shipment of cotton is very unusual and
that grain shipments must soon begin,
and that the improved business will
stiffen money rates. The fact that the
United States has since January /, 1894,
exported more than S12O,O0O,OOO in gold
in excess of her exports, it is claimed, is
a very strong argument in favor of a
speedy return to its normal condition.
What action congress- will take is prob
lematicsl yet it seems more than prob
able that the administration will present
some plan for the retirement of United
States notes now outstanding. These
amount to over s247, 100000 and their
presence in the currency is regarded as a
constant menace to financial stability. 1t
is thought that Carlisle is now working
out a scheme by which this volume of
currency can be retired without any
serious financial disturbance.

Jack Jolly's Victim Passes in His
Checks.

Jack Jolly's Victim Passes in His
Special to The Tribune.
BUTTE, Sept. Ill. w. Byther, who
was almost fatally stabbed in the neck
by Jack jolly about five weeks ago, died
at IL o'clock last night from injuries and
diseases which were probably caused by
the cutting. Byther was thought to be
slowly recovering, when, about two
weeks ago. he was taken down with ty-
phoid fever, and, while in a state of de-
lirum last Friday afternoon, jumped
from the window of his room, in the
third story of the D'Acheul block. His
fall of nearly fifty feet was partly broken
by an electric wire, but the force
was sufficient to shatter his right arm
and cause internal injuries. 1t was
thought at first that there might be a
chance to save the arm, and everything
possible was done to that end, but it was
finally decided that an operation would
have to be performed to save the life of
the unfortunate man. The arm was
amputated Thursday afternoon and the
patient seemed to be recovering, but a
turn for the worse took place yesterday
and death came to the suffering man
last night at II o'clock.
The body is now at the Butte under
taking rooms, where an inquest will be
| held.

THE JUDD MURDER CASE.
Albert MCGEE, the Defendant, Found Not
Guilty by the Jury.

Albert Niece, the Defendant, Found Not
Guilty by The Jury.
George II. Stanton returned home
Saturday from White Sulphur Springs,
where he has been defending Albert Nc
Gee Of Monarch on a charge of murder
for the shooting of a man named Judd,
on June IA, at Monarch, just across the
Cascade county line.
The facts in the case were about as
follows: Judd and a woman who had
lived with him as his wife for a good
many years, bearing him two children,
went to work at the MCGEE ranch
last winter. The woman became en-
alnoreG of Albert McGee, a son of the
rancher, where the couple were stop
ping, and as she claimed that she and
Judd had never been legally married,
slip off to Barker with MCGEE one
Judd naturally felt pretty sore
over the matter and was deter
mined TO at least recover his children
lADui II uiotiiCl II ACl uCW buSDdIlu.
To several parties he expressed his in
%tention of going to the MCGEE ranch and
recovering the children if he had to kill
both the mother and McGee. On the
l4th OF June last be appeared at the
MCGEE ranch armed with IA revolver, and
according to the testimony of the de-
Tense picked up a Winchester in the
house, where his former wife was alone,
ana tired a shot at her. The woman
closed with him and tried to take away
the rifle. McGee, who was not far away,
hearing the shot. hurried to the scene
and, coming up behind Judd, shot him
through the head, killing him instantly.
The prosecution tried to show that
the oma fred the shot with the Win
chester at Judd and that the latter was
trying to disarm her when he was killed.
Messrs. Gormley & Smith appeared for
the state, and George Stanton made a
brilliant defense for the prisoner. The
jury, after being out an hour and a half,
| brought in a verdict of mot guilty" and
McGee is, therefore, cleared forever of
the charge OF murder. Mr.. Stanton re-
ceived many compliments On his conduct
Of the case.

Badly Injured.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 13.-The unprece-
dented hospitality and good will in con-
nection with the Twenty-ninth national
encampment of the G. A. r. closes with
sadness. While 100000 people were
watching the fireworks along the
river front last night a portion
of the grand stand, in which
were seated 10000 people, gave way and
many were injured. That no one was
killed is marvellous. The exact number
of injured probably will never be known.
Several policemen say that it was from
80 to 10. All the ambulances and patrol
wagons in the city We're summoned.
Those injured, as far as known, are as
follows: John Farris, Mrs. Hershtield,
Mrs. j. W. Veidard, Miss Matte Nor
ran. Miss Fedora Starr, j. Burks, Miss
Eva Willis, Miss f. Seinn, Miss Julia
Moores, Mrs. Maggie Ferris, Miss Ben

Stein, f. S. Overton, Henry Hart, Kate
Hines. VIM. Walters, Mrs. A. j. Thur
Der, Benjamin Scroggins, Mrs. McMil-
Ian, r. p. Grover, Mart Wal
den, Steve Guttman, Carrie Donnelly.
Fully 100 people are suffering from
injuries received at the collapse OF the
grand stand. In addition to the fifty
names of injured given above, there are
about fifty others who were taken to
their homes in carriages by friends
Only the names of those taken away in
%ambulances were available. The hospitals
are full of patients suffering from the
effects of heat and injuries received at
the accident last night. All these are
reported doing we'll. Mrs. H. Hershteld,
who had her foot smashed and hip dis
located, may not recover. Edward Hoar,
a musician of Springfield, Ohio, who was
not on the grand stand, but on top OF
the sanitary booth that caved in during
the fire works, is in a critical condition.

New YoRK, Sept. 13.-This mornings
World was probably the only regular
issue of a newspaper which contained
not a line of advertising, the flooding OF
the press room on account of a fire re-
ducing the press capacity 80 that it was
possible to print but eight pages. Eight
solid pages of advertising were thrown
away rather than cut the news. In
spite of delays during the fire itself and
consequent upon it, which included the
stopping of all the typesetting machines
by the cutting off of the gas, the paper
went to press on time. The World is
receiving expressions of regret from
newspapers throughout the country at
it's loss. The World expresses gratitude
for the cordial interest manifested, as
surfing it's friends that no serious dam
age has been done, owing to the fireproof
nature of the building.

The Fergus county fair was a great
success, although the weather on one of
the days on which the fair was to be
held was so disagreeablc that the events
were postponed until later in the week.
On the last day Of the exhibition, it is
estimated, fully LOCO people were Oh the
grounds. They anne from all sections
Of Fergus county and from the eastern
portion Of Cascade county, and many
families camped neal the grounds dur
ing the fair. There were also visitors
from Helena, Fort Benton, Billings,
Great Falls and other cities.
The races were fiercely contested and
much bad blood was engendered. There
are still hints of ''jobs' in the races, but
