UNUSUAL COLD AND DRoUGHT.-Thus far
December has been the coolest in more than
twenty years and the end of the cold snap is
as yet not In sight.
Our icehouses are being filled with fairly
good ice running from eight to ten inches
thick
The waters are 80 low that the dams and
ponds are not available for skating except in
very limited areas; this splendid means of
amusement will not likely be improved.
There is some fear now that continued hard
freezing may occasion water famine before
the end of the winter; a deep snow, followed
in the course of ten days by a thaw would
strengthen the springs.

Without breaking bulk, coal cannot be
taken into the Valley nor grain or other
products taken out in full carloads over an
electric road in a word, an electric road will
not haul freight; to fail to provide which

ter Dead In St. Paul.

Chicago, July 1.-THE body OF the
robber who was shot in the streets OF

tilted as Charles German. living at the

daughter. Crazed by grief. he tried In
every way he could think of to raise
money. and finally attempted the rob-
berry OF Saloonist McGloin. German
had a large revolver. and applied to
Cole for help. but Cole did not have
sufficient money TO be of service Cole
gave him a shirt and clean undercloth-
ing, and they then tried to pawn Cor
mans revolver for ticket to st. Paul.
but were not successful. In Germans
trunk were found letters of recon-
mendation from several barrooms
where he had been employed. one OF

HEROIC EFFORTS OF A WIFE

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Deer Lodge. July H.-News of the
most distressing affair that ever oc-
brought to the city at noon to-day by
William Avery. who reported that
Frank Dunton and John Carini were
lying dead in their cabin at Cariboo,
about nine miles east Of Deer Lodge.
It is a most peculiar and sad circum-
stance. A number of citizens, among
whom were George s. Miller. J. B. Nc
Masters. ]. NJ. Hartwell. o. NJ. Lown,
T. F. Beacock. James Marata, Charles
Pierce and H. A. Smurr Immediately
drove out to the place, and on arriving
there witnessed a sight that made their
flesh creep. The two unfortunate VIC
tins, who had crawled from the scene
Of the accident to their bed In the
cabin. lay dead with their clothing all
burnt off. and their bodies almost
roasted.
The story Of the accident. as told by
Mrs. Dunton. who was In the cabin at
the time it occurred Is as follows: She
stepped outside the cabin about 8
o'clock yesterday morning and noticed
that the blacksmith shop where her
husband was working at the time was
on fire. She called her husband, and
receiving no answer she ran toward
the shop. John Carini. the hired man,
heard her cries and rushed to the door
Of the shop. and he had no sooner
opened II than he was enveloped in
flames from head to foot. Dunton,
finding the door open. staggered out.
that was close by and tried to extin-
guish the fire in their clothing that was
slowly eating their lives away. Mrs.
Dunton finding that the ditch was al
most dry took her husband to well
near the cabin and immersed him in
the water and then tenderly helped
him to the cabin. where she placed him
on a bed. John Carini came In a few
minutes later, screaming from pain,
and she laid him beside her dying hus-
band.
Although crazed with grief she did
not loose her presence Of mind. but i'm
mediately proceeded to cover their
burning bodies with all the lard in the
house. and having done all that lay In
her power towards allevlating their
sufferings, she picked her baby up in
her arms and ran to the nearest cabin,
which was two miles distant and oc-
cupied by Mr.. Koontz. He carried the
news to her father. James Z. Horne,
who lives about FIVE miles down the
valley, and she returned to the cabin
to watch over the dying men. Her hus-
band was the first to succumb and died
at 4:30 in the afternoon. John Carini
fingered until o'clock. when death
came to his relief.
Her father was the first to arrive,
reaching the cabin a little after 6
o'clock.
1t is thought that the fire in the
blacksmith shop was caused by a
spark reaching box Of black powder
that was stored In the place and was
left open. There was no explosion from
it. but the entire shop was filled with
flames when the door was opened. JUS
tice Of the Peace Hartwell is holding a
coroner's inquest this afternoon. The
bodies will be brought to town tonight
and the funeral will take place some
time tomorrow.

BULLETIN NO. 3.
Statistics Given Out by the Secretary Of
AgrlcuIturc.

Washington. July 1.-THE secretary of
agriculture Will issue within a few days
bulletin No. 3 on the worlds markets for
American products. The bulletin con-
tains a short statistical Introduction on
the agriculture OF France and reports OF
the consuls from Bordeaux, Cognac.
Havre. Nice. Grenoble, Rheims and IL
moges. IL also contains a copy of the de-
cree OF the minister OF agriculture pro-
hibiting the importation OF American cat
tie from the United States into France;
also a statement OF the temporary sus-
pension of the export OF sheep from the
United States. owing to the exaction by
the French government OF a certificate
from the United States veterinary in
spcctor to accompany all sheep landed
In France from the United States which
shall certify that none Of them have been
exposed to any contagious disease for "A
period OF six weeks prior to the date OF
shipment. Owing to the possibility OF
exposure to scab. such a certificate can
not be given at present. The bulletin
also contains a map showing the different
localities OF the several consuls who have
made reports 10 the department through
the state department.
Among the important statements con-
tained In this bulletin is one showing the
area, production and trade of wine In
France. A comparative statement OF the
wine produced by the different European
countries In 1893 and 1894. as well as by
the United States, will also be found.
which shows that the production OF wine
In France for 1894 was l.O3l. .557, SIC gallons,
while that of the United States was g.
10000 gallons. How few realize that on
the western coast OF California. whlck Is
probably the counterpart Of the wesclrn
coast OF Europe. with Great Britain at
tached to the continent. every condition
OF soil and climate can be found to pro-
dUce the wines peculiar to European
countries.
The bulletin also contains an important
statement In regard TO the total trade OF
France. exclusive OF the precious met
ais. as compared with the trade OF the
United States. Germany and the United
Kingdom. This statement shows that the
United Kingdom has an easy lead over
her nearest three competitors and that
her commerce Is about equal TO the ag-
gregate OF that OF Germany and the
United States. her two rivals. and that
Germany, France and the United States
are not far apart France taking the
fourth rank. In 1890 1891 and 1894 Germany
occupied second place and the United
States third, while tor 1899 and 1879 this
order was reversed with respect TO these
tWo countries.

Grafton the meeting requested Senators
Harris. Turpie and myself to take steps
to organize the silver democrats so they

ganize national central committee con-
sisting OF one or more members from

afterth organization OF their own states,
To select gentlemen for membership OF
this committee by correspondence seemed
slow, and IL was concluded TO invite one
