ONE HUGE FURNACE
Smouldsring Embers in the Tunnel
Famed Into a Raging Blaze.
HOTTEST SPOT IN MONTANA

Ever. and the Prospects of

Special Correspondents Of the Standard.
Bozeman, March 2.-The details of the
fire In Bozeman tunnel. which started on
Monday, seem to be about as follows:
The immense charcoal deposits left by the
fire, which burned the tunnel out in Sep
TENDER last still remain in the portion OF
the tunnel where the greatest cave oc-
CURED, the heat having been so severe
much of the time that the workmen en-
gagged in repairing the tunnel burnt up a
pair of shoes every three to five days.
This deposit of charcoal is so inter-
mingled with dirt and rocks as to make
It impossible to detect its presence and
some Of this charcoal, to all appearances
dead, is supposed to have been famed
into life by the blizzard which was rag
ing on Monday. At least the fire seemed
TO start in behind the new timbering. In
q short time the tunnel for 1000 feet in
from the west end was a roaring furnace
and this morning the immense heat had
so decomposed the earth and rock above
the tunnel that the ground had sagged in
to quite a depth and the overhead road
was useless. This road over the mountain
crosses above the tunnel and the ground
slumping in as II has. all trains are
stopped and freight and passengers are
being transferred.
1t was reported at the time of the for
mer fire that the great quantities Of
CordwOod plled IN ABOVE the JUMPERS
which compose the tunnel roof were on
fire, which was given as q reason for the
former fire continuing as II did for two
full months. This was not so. however,
as the 300 car loads of wood used for the
purpose of supporting the earth, which in
some places was so feet above the limb
ers, had not been reached by the fire OF
September last. but is now a literal
mountain of fire.
After the fire of September the mount
ain caved in from the top to the tunnel
floor for a distance of about 100 feet, and
the present blaze started just west of this
cave. 1t is not thought that the fire has
got east of the drift yet. The distance on
fire is about $40 feet. while the portion
east is 1850 feet long. This caved-in por-
ton. 100 feet long,@was all that retarded
the opening of the tunnel, but present
prospects would point to the opening of a
"cut" as the quickest solution of the
trouble should any more fire get in the
big bore.
And again there is talk in Bozeman OF
Trail creek as an easy and cheap way OF
overcoming the awful expense and con-
slant bother which has ever attended the
keeping open of Bozeman tunnel. The
road could be changed to Trail creek al
less expense than to fix up Bozeman tun-
mel, IL is a practicable way and would
open up the Trail creek coal mines and
the rich farming country of that section
where now not a dollar goes to the road

Basin Times: To the five senators of

them a republican. They stood loyalty
by their pledges-the pledge that our

Montana when certificates of their cleo

Auditorium in Helena. May their rec
ord continue to shine brighter; may
their acts ever correspond with their
promises. They have performed a
noble deed. May their names be i'm

Our Senators.

Billings Times: This office is in re-
ceipt of a circular from Justice. Bate
man 6, Co. of Philadelphia urging that
pressure be brought on the Montana
senators to COMPEL them to pass the
Dingley tariff bill. This firm appears
to be more deeply interested in politics
than in wool, to judge by the tone OF
the circulars they send out, every one
of them dealing with the tariff ques-
ton more or less. This paper is politi-
cally opposed to Messrs. Carter and
Mantle, but we have always conceded
their ability and good judgment, and
since their action this session have full
confidence in their loyalty to the inter-
ests of the state of Montana. The re-
publicans of this state demand free
coinage and protection-not one but
BOTH" and most of the democrats agree
that as there is going to be protection
for some interests in which Montana
has a very remote interest, II protec-
ton will do any good, there ought to
be protection on wool and lead in which
she is largely interested, and they re-
gard the free coinage of silver as the
paramount question. So that Messrs.
Carter and Mantle in their present ac-
ton are representing faithfully the
vast majority of the citizens of Mon
tana-
The people of Montana are quite ca
pable of attending to their own politics
without the dictation or advice of this
Philadelphia firm OF political wool COM
mission men, and the fact is that the
woolgrowers have about arrived at the
conclusion that the less they have to
do with wool commission men in any
capacity the less need they have for
protection.
Carter and Mantle are doing well,
and we only hope they won't weaken.
and sell the birthright of free coinage
for the pottage of alleged protection

Serts her commitment on the charge
OF insanity to be the result OF perse-
cution on the part of her husband. The
case is somewhat peculiar in that Mrs.
Fredericks has twice before been ex-
amined in the probate court on infor-
nation filed by her husband or his re-
l~atives, and has 10Th times been dis
charged. The second examination was
conducted by Drs. Richie and Dunning,
who both pronounced Mrs. Fredericks
to be in her right mind.
BY a coincidence the divorce case Of
Fredericks against his wife came be-
fore Judge Kelly yesterday morning,
but was continued, presumably to first
permit of the examination In the pro-
bate court, and the possibility of the
arising therein Of a contingency which
would prevent the case from going to
trial at present. Before Judge Will
rich, Drs. Sweeney and Talbot Jones
ericks insane, a condition sal to be
caused by the extreme jealousy which
she entertained toward her husband.
The evidence. introduced alleged that
Mrs. Fredericks had become insane
upon this subject and neglected her
children to follow the husband about,
and that she had several times threat
ened to kill him. Mrs. Fredericks
listened to the proceedings with ap-
parent Self-poSsession and firmly in
sisted that she was not the least parti-
Gle insane upon any subject. She ex-
pressed a wish to be allowed to go to
the home Of her sister, but the court
adjudged her mentally %unsound, and
she was taken to Rochester last even
ing. The information upon which Mrs.
Fredericks was committed was filed by
Clafie Fredericks.
In his complaint in the divorce suit
Fredericks alleges cruel and inhuman
treatment as the grounds for a separa-
ton from his wife. He accused her of
being a woman of violent and uncoll-
trolable temper and says she began to
abuse him soon after their marriage.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Fredericks on
n occasion, attempted to kill him
with a large knife and that at another
time she threatened to shoot him. Fur
Their than this it is alleged she neglected
her children, of whom there are three,
the eldest being five years of age, to
follow him about and harrass him with
u~pbraidings and foul language.
In her answer, Mrs. Fredericks denies
each and every allegation of her hus-
band with the exception that she is
his wife and that they have three child
rem. She says she is Twenty-Five a
old, while her husband is thirty-one
years of age n that instead of treat
ing lin with cruelty, he has continuous
ly misused her. In addition to strick-
ing her and calling her bad names,
Mrs. Fredericks alleges that her hus-
band has frequently told her that he
was tired of her and would live with
her no longer, and that he has tried to
get rid Of her by having her .adjudged
insane, citing her first examination in
the probate our and subsequent dis
charge as evidence of the persecution
which she claims is being carried on
against her.
Fredericks is an engineer in the en-
ploy of the Omaha railroad and former
ly lived with his family on Burr street.

BOARD OF SCHOOL INSPECTORS

INTENDENCY.
NO ELECTION FOR A MONTH.
1T IS DESIRED TO HAVE Pr r
OF TIME FOR CONSIDER
ALTON.
SCHOOLS oPEN ELECTION DAY.
There Will Be No Break on Account
OF the Excitement of
Politics.

For a month the city schools will be
practically without a superintendent,
the board of school inspectors, at their
meeting yesterday, having determined
to postpone action in the premises for
80 days.
While at the last informal conference
OF the board there was apparent a
favorable inclination to the election
of Prof. Joseph Carhart. late Of the
state normal school at ST. Cloud, the
knowledge that he was so favored
reaching the public centralized all the
opposing forces on him. Naturally the
local candidates, each of whom had
been at a loss to know where his most
dangerous foemen was situated, at
once took the. new trail, and when the
a met yesterday and talked the
thing over. sub rosa, some of the
members who are known to incline
f~avorably toward Mr.. Carhart stated
that the change was Of sufficient i'm
Torrance to warrant the board in de-
laying action for a time. 1t was argued
that as the machinery of the schools
a been well set in motion for the
current year, there would be less harm
done by the temporary lack Of a sup
erintendent than by permanently in
stalling an incumbent hastily and,
perhaps, unwisely chosen.
The matter of a contract for desks
for the schools was also up for con
sideration yesterday, but no action
was taken.
1t was decided to keep the schools
open election day.
The report of the committee on
schools was adopted as follows:

Lothian. from the Drew to the Longfellow;
MISS Amonde Zahm, from the Madison to the
Drew; Miss j. E. O'Connor. from the Monroe
to the Madison; Miss Mary Casey, from the

we recommend the appointment Of Miss
Julia Thorwarth to the second grade, Adams
school; Miss Gertrude Tietjen to the third
grade, Monroe school; Miss Minna Fischer. to

ner at the Jefferson school.
All or the above appointments to date from

We recommend that leave of absence, with

semester, be granted to Miss j. B. Toby, Of
the Jefferson school.
We that Mrs. J. B.. Wasmus. q
former seventh grade teacher, be placed upon
the accredited list for grammar schools: that

Prof. Garhart was at the high school during
the meeting.
