NEW YORK POLICE.

Not long ago it used to be proverbial
among visitors 10 the metropolis from
the provincial cities" that stranger
IN New York could very safely take his
chances of molestatlon at the Lands OF
the recognized tough clement, IL he could
te secured from annoyance snd attack by
the thugs that infested the police force.
Under New York's "rciorm" admin
strstion, New York's police force has
had a considerable overhauliug and il is
not unlikely that a stranger in that town
could stroll about most OF the respectable
streets without danger to life or limb
from bumptious rough in blue and
brass. Bat trat the police army still con-
tans tough element is even nowadays
not in;requontly demonstrated.
ON Saturday evening for instance, two
respectable women, standing on their
door step aud chatting amiably, were
seized without warning by two policemen,
and after good deal of rough handling,
were released neighbors protesting sue
ss'ully that for whomever the two no.
licemen were looking, they had arrested
the wrong parties.
Saturday, also, young girl was sent
to Blackwell's Island, in company
with an assortment OF depraved women
She was sentenced by thick headed
magistrate on the shay testimony of a
policeman who has himself been before
the police commissioners and has been
fined not less than eleven times, charged
WITH misdemeanors. The girl will he
released from the infamous charge broug ht
against her without grounds.
Next TO New York hackman, we
guess that about the most dangerous
chaps for n respectable citizen to fail m
with are so be found on the New York
police force.

TONY WAS ARRESTED
He Is thought to Be the Murderer Of
Pat Strongue.
1T is ALL CIRCUMsTANrIAL
The Prisoner Had Worked With the
Deceased-A Man Bought a Pis-
tol and Cartridges. and That
May Be a Clue.

Missoula, Nov. ia special to the
Missoula office of the Standard from
Florence says: Sheriff Chaffin this
morning arrested Tony Florence for
the murder of Strongue at the McEn-
eny ranch Friday night. When arrest
ed Florence was working out his road
tax on the county road near here. He
was at once taken to Stevensville and
is now in the county jail. The evidence
upon which Tony Florence was arrest
ed is purely circumstantial. but II is
considered sufficient to establish the
fact that he has at least some knowl-
edge of the murder. Some time FRI
day night a shot was fired which ended
Strongue's life. 1t Is supposed that the
murder was committed, shortly after s
O'Clock. On that evening Florence re-
turned from trip to Missoula, reach
ing Florence station at 1886 o'clock. He
left at once for Rube Holden's ranch,
where he lived. He did not reach the
ranch until $50 o'clock, though the dis
tance is only about two miles. He told
the people at the ranch that he had
seen man rushing along near the
McEneny ranch who was muttering to
himself, I've fixed the -" and
said he thought the man must be era
zy. AT this time nothing was known OF
the shooting and no attention was paid
~ - NHt SAOIg Dy VINO,
however, repeated IL to others, after
ii was known that Strongue was dead.
Ed McEneny. who owns the ranch
where Strongue lived and worked, says
that Florence came TO the field where
Strongue was blowing on Thursday.
In reply to a question. Strongue after
ward told McEneny that Florence had
asked him to go to a dance. He made
no allusion to anything else that pass
ed between them. The next morning
Florence went to Missoula. where ne
spent the afternoon.
Since this special was received, a
Standard reporter has made some in
quiries. and finds that a man who an
swers in general way to the de-
scription of Florence bought at a Sec
ond-hand store in Missoula Friday af-
ternoon a 3S-caliber revolver. which he
took TO another store to have the
chambers filled with cartridges. AS
far as can be learned, no gun can be
found near the scene of the murder.
Tony Florence. the man who was ar
rested, came to the neighborhood of
Florence last spring. During haying
season he worked with Strongue on
the McEneny ranch, and since that
time he has been employed at Rube
Holden's ranch. where he ran a thresh-
ing engine last month. Nothing is
known about him there, except that he |
has always seemed attentive to busi- |

johannesburg Gold Fields Their Destina
fiOn.

Fifteen well-known millwrights and
carpenters were ticketed through TO
johannesburg, South Africa, via the
Great Northern railway, for the sail
ing of the new American Line steamer
City of st. Paul, from New York, No
yember 20th. Twelve of these men go
to johannesburg to work under three
years contract at five dollars per day.
The other three having implicit faith
in their ability to secure employment
at still better wages, chose to go on
their own account. This Is the largest
number of men ever forwarded from
Butte in a body destined to the South
African gold fields. Persons ticketed
through to South Africa are routed via
England, where they may be permitted
to visit relatives and friends before re-
embarking. Fare includes meals and
sleeping accommodation, New York
to Cape Town, unless passengers stop
over in England at their own request,
where they will pay their own ex-
penses. Other large parties are forming
for sailings during November, Decem-
ber and January. Steamers sail from
New York every Wednesday to connect
with the Union and Castle lines, sailing
from Southampton every Saturday.
The Great Northern through ticket sys-
tenn has given eminent satisfaction to
all OF the many people who have been
forwarded to South Africa from Mon
tana and other western states, during
a number of years past. Those con-
templating the journey, should make

THE MARKETS.

New York, Nov. l9.-A variety of infiu-
ences depressed the stock market to-day.
In some instances the reiteration of the
old bear arguments operated effectively.
London was unpleasantly active as a
seller Of mos OF the international stocks
and foreign advices in relation to the po-
litical situation renewed uneasiness The
decision of Justice Harlan in the West
ern Union-Union Pacific case was again
used with a decided effect against the
stock. None OF The counsel OF the COM
pany had received the text Of the decis-
ion to-day and there was consequently no
official statement as to the full effect OF
the opinion.
