MAYOR liaWWell SalO IL WAS
accorded to him the high
privilege to know the true
worth Of Mai Bingham. be-
ing his partner. He was a
flnes lawyer md the super
struetureiOf their suits was
laid by him, He had the i'm
plicit confidence of jurors
which gave him s#,cess and
power in the courts. He was
a christian and the first thing
he waited to know about
thing, was it right. A bet
ter man q truer man never
lived. He despised hypocra-
cy. The State and bar have
sustained in him agreatloss.
Few men equaled him a n d
none was superior to him.
b. +. Long, ESQ.,, said the
sentiments and high tribute
paid to Maj Bingham by
Judge Armfield ought to be
preserved, and he endorsed
all that was said. Maj. Bing
ham could not boast of blood
or bullion and did not live
high hut he left behind him a
treasure in a name, to he ad'
orned by us all. He was a
common law lawyer. Black
stone and Coke were his fa
vorite companions. He had
the respect ofeverybody ever
in the hottest political con
tests. In our short sighted
ness we may deplose his sud
den taking off in the midst q
influence and power but ~
must submit to the works q
providence. Judge Norwood
then said in his experience ir
these meetings of the bar liz
had ALWAYS noticed the frank
ness with which brethren
spoke Of their dead brothers
that if they had faults the,
were told, butin this,nsto nc'
he bad heard none, the sHp
position was Mai. Bingham
had none. Mr.. &. H. Arm
field then moved the ndOp
tiOn of the resolutions whicl
was done unanimously ant
Judge Norwood ordered then

"
Miss Flager. who moves in
the wealthiest Washington
society, shot a cOlored boy
who stole pears from her fa-
theirs orchard. Thecoroner's
jury rendered a verdict Of ac-
quittal. The question has
been raised.-Wuuld the jury
have brought a similar ver-
diet, had the boy been a son
Of Gen. Flager and the wo.
man the colored mother of
the little boy Green ? Others
call attention to the verdict
of murder brought against
Marie Barberie, and draw a
comparison between the Of
tense of Marie's betray er and
that of the Green boy.
It. ia a cause of congratula-
ton that the district court
will not let the matter pass
and will bring Miss Flager be
fore the grand jury at t h g
next sitting. 1t is alsr a hap
py circumstance that Gen.
Flager is ihdicnus and pub.
lic-spirited enough to decline
to accept the verdict of the
coroner's jury and give bonds
for his daughters appearance
before the higher tribunal.
Had the case gone no further
the announcement would
have gone out to every ham,
let and to every slunls dis.
trict In the country. that the
law was for the punishment
only Of the poor, and fer the
protection of the;rich against
the consequences of t h g I
crimes.
| What the grand jury will
find, no one Knows of course
1t is maintained by Miss Fla
gers friends, first, that she
is near sighted, and did no!
see the boy, and second. thai
she fired simply to frighter
the boys from the orchard
and with no idea OF hitting
any one. In any case there
~ a lesson to boys to leave
lone the property Of others
and to adults to refrain from
the permiscuOus Rse of fire
arms. .-HOusekeeper.

Local Notes.

The end of the year is now at hand
and local railroad men are estimating
the business for 1895.
'The showing is a very satisfactory
one" said a prominent official to a
Herald reporter last evening. Freight
shipments have shown an increase ali

dustries and the general increase in
prosperity that has set in, the railroads
in this section feel more than salts

Santa Fe and the Rick Island roads
would have an equal chance with the
Union Pacific at the business which it
deposits in Ogden. These roads would
then become factors in Butte's railroad
business, and it is likely that they
would establish offices here in order to
secure a share of the business.
One of the roads mentioned has al
ready made arrangements to open an
offices here Immediately on the Utah
Northern passing into separate re-
ownership. A. W. Scribner, tax agent
of the Union Pacific, who has been in
Butte for several days, left yesterday
for Dillon. where he will settle the
taxes assessed by Beaverhead county.
Mr.. Scribner pays the taxes of the
road and also makes it his business to
see that they are not excessive"
