SOLDIERS IN DEER LODGE.
Tho Fort Missouia boys on . March
Brteis and Personals.

Special Correspondence of the Standard
Deer Lodge, Oct. 1o.-The dull mono
tony OF life In Deer Lodge Is somewhat
relieved this week by the arrival Of two
companies OF colored soldiers from
Fort Misoula. They left that point last
Friday and came by easy stages by the
way OF Drummond and Garrison. ar
riving here at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning. The boys looked a little the
worse for wear as they marched up
Missouri avenue 10 the picnic grounds
where they have pitched their tents.
but their soldlerly bearing was pre-
served to remarkable degree after
such long and tedious tramp. They
met with a slight mIshap while climb
ing a steep grade along the Northern
Pacific road. one OF their commissary
wagons going over an embankment
and taking a six mule team and driver
along with II. and never stopping un-
Ill the whole train landed In the river
below. a distance OF 100 feet. Fortu-
nately no one was hurt and the river
being very shallow at this point they
escaped with the loss Of only a few
provisions. They were delayed a day
by the accident but made the balance
OF their journey here one Of pleasure.
They Will remain here until next SUM-
day. when they will start on the re-
turn trip to Missoula. but before ieav-
Ing the boys will be made happy by q
visit from the paymaster and Deer
Lodge is also rejoicing at the prospects
Of having a payday.
The district court will be in session
tomorrow for the nrst time this week,
Judge Brantly having been holdina
court In Philipsburg since Monday.
Governor Richards has granted q
conditional pardon to Charles Wilson,
who was convicted OF criminal assault,
committed in this county on the 7th OF
May. 1892. and sentenced to the peni-
tentiary for term OF five years.

Durrant recovered his composure, a
surprise was sprung on him In the
hope that 1t might disconcert him.
After asking Durrant II he had ever
made a written statement OF his
whereabouts on the day Blanche La
mont was murdered. and receiving an
affirmative reply. District Attorney
Barnes asked the following question:
rs II not a fact that you sent a
written statement OF your case to your
attorneys, and wrote on the envelope,
to be returned IL l am acquittedT"
The excitement caused by the ques-
tion was intense. In the hum Of voices
Durrant's was lost. and the stenogra-
pher was asked to read the reply: II
never sent an envelope to my attorneys
bearing such an inscription" said he.
Durrant was questioned at length re-
garding the communication, and the
significant Inscription on the envelope,
but he denied that he ever sent such a
document. Durrant was next shown
the various garments worn by Blanche
Lamont. and asked IL he had secreted
them in the belfry where they were
found. He identified the pieces of
clothing as the ones worn by Miss La
mont on the day of her death. but said
he did not hide them IN the church.
Durrant's strong nerves were tested by
a number of questions relative to the
last time he saw Miss Lamont. The
climax was reached when District At
torney Barnes. with his voice pitched
in higher key than usual. advanced
to where Durrant was sitting and
asked: did you ever lay eyes on
Blanche Lamont after the morning of
the day upon which she was murdered.
living or dead?" Durrant replied that
he did not.
Living or dead. said." thundered
the district attorney. advancing a step
nearer Although every eye in the
court room was centered upon Dur
rant. he remained as cool as II he had
been asked the most commonplace
question. He again replied that he did
not. Durrant was asked to explain his
statement to Herbert schlagater that
Miss Lamont. who had then been miss
ing burt few days, had probably been
enticed Into house OF III repute. The
district attorney asked him what there
was in Miss Lamont's manner or char
acter that induced him to make the re-
mark. Durrant said he knew nothing
against Miss Lamont. but he had heard
Detective Anthony say that she had
probably been led astray.

DIFFICULTIES or PREsBYrERrANs.
The Independent Church Likely TO
Call a Pastor soon.

There is a promise of a settlement now
within a very short time Of the difhcuI-
ties under which the two prominent Pres
byterian churches Of this city have been
laboring. That of the First Presbyterian
church was practically settled by a vote
Of the congregation at a meeting held
after the services on Sunday, an account
of which was given in yesterdays Morn
ing News.
DR.. l.. C. Vass had not received official
notification u. the action of his congre-
cation yesterday but will probably get
it through the mails to-day. he win
then take the matter into consideration
and decide on what course he will pur-
sue. The vote. as is well known, was
100 requesting him to withdraw his res
1gnauon, as against IS who preferred TO
let ii stand.
Il is believed by many members Of his
congregation that DR.. Nass Will take
into consideration the fact that he has
with him very large majority of his
congregation, and remain with the church.
On the other hand II is stated that the
church may lose those thirty-fiVe men,
meFs, or larger portion of them, in case
DIR. Nass does remain.
Dr. NaSs is, of course, familiar with
the situation, and no doubt his action
in the matter viii be for the best inter-
ests of all concerned. From the nature
OF the vote, II would appear that those
thirty-fVe members who voted against
him Sunday are the same who voted
against him at the annual congregational
meeting held in November.
There VIII, no doubt, be some definite
settlement of the situation in the In
dependent Presbyterian church within
the next two weeks. The term of Rev.
J. Il. .Dripps pastOrate expires at u
O'Clock tonight and after that time the
church will be without a pastor until a
new one is chosen. Since he has been
absent the pulpit has been filled from
sunday 10 sunday by different pastors
living in this section. and the trustees
nave simply been waiting the first of the
year when DR.. Dripps' pastorate will ex-
pre-. so that they could take some action
in the matter.
Il may be that a notice win be given
congregational meeting of the church on
the sunday following for the purpose of
considering this question. According to
the rules of the church a weeks notice
of meeting for the consideration of
such questions is required.
In case a meeting of the congregation
should be called Jan. u. the elders and
= trustee would atithat time make a nom
ination before the congregation and ac-
ton would then be taken accordingly.
As such matters are governed altogeth-
er by the congregation, however any
member or the cOngreg alton has the right
TO make a nomination.
1t is considered that the nomination
to be made by the session or the elders
and the trustees will be from among
those who have served the church from
Sunday TO Sunday in the interim. They
are Rev. DR.. J. .. Flynn of Columbia, S.
bia, Rev. Mr.. Fogarty of Greenwood, s.
c., Rev. DR.. J. T. Plunkett of Augusta
and Rev. DIR. Roseboro of Petersburg, Va
None of the elders or trustees. however,
they have in mind to nominate for the
position.

WON A DEMoREsp MEDAL.
Master Charles ID. Russell the FOrtu-
nate Ore of six Contestants.


The Demorest medal contest at the Boil
ton Street Church of Christ last night.
was an interesting event. The night be-
ing inclement the attendance was not
nearly so large as was expected. There
were six contestants.
The exercises We're opened by singing
1.-THE Happy Coming Day." followed by
the quartette Ever Will l Pray"
Rev. H. c.. Bowen read a scripture les
son, after which Mr.. R. B. Reppard led
in prayer. Miss Annie Garnett then sang
a solo, some Glad Day"
After the solo Master Mayer Weaver
made the first defamation He had as
his subject THE National Curse" and he
made an excellent effort. The second
speaker was Master Josie Baumil. He
handled the subject of Moral Suasion or
Prohibition, Which Shall 1t Be?" in
manner that showed he fully appreciated
his subject. After it the congregation
sang Victory Is Near" which was fol-
Easter Daniels, THE National Curse"
The third declaimer was Gussie Carter.
He did splendidly on who Is to Blame"
Master Bernard Bowen next sang solo,
He's Drunkard Tonight"
The fourth defamation, "A Voice from
the Poor House," by Charles d. Russell,
was exceedingly good. Dan Bythewood
made the last defamation, and he did
admirably. His subject was Rum Sell
ers Legal Rights" After a hymn by
the congregation, the judges who had
been selected to decide on the merits of
the declarations retired. They were Mr..
D. II. Lufburrow, Mr.. C. d. Klaine and
Mr.. +. 5. Salas. After fully considering
the merits of the contestants they de-
cided that Master Charles d. Russell was
the winner of the contest.
Mr.. r. B. Reppard was called on to
make the presentation speech, and he
presented the medal in a graceful man
ner and made a happy and entertaining
address,.
After singing Sound the Battle Cry
the congregation was dismissed with a
benediction by Mr.. Thomas Kreiger.
The contest was the fourth of the kind
held in Savannah 1t was gotten up by the
South Savannah branch of Union No. ?
of the Womens Christian Temperance
Union. The last contest was held three
years ago. The contests are always en-
pertaining and enjoyable occasions, and
that last night was no exception TO this
rule
