.ppointed cadet at the naval academy

appointed cadet at the naval academy
at Annapolis. While Montgomery was
winning prominence in athle cS and
high favor as grand fellow, he lost
ground steadily in his studies.
Montgomery abandoned athletics and
returned to his studies but the change
was made too late. He failed in the
September examinations, and when the
grieved and indignant father received
the news, he telegraphed the humiliat-
ed cadet to resign at once This he did
without a moments delay, and took
lodgings in a small hotel at Annapolis.
His dependency was pathetic, and mis-
academy friends urged him to visit
Washington and make every possible
effort to secure reappointment. He lis
tened to them and proceeded in heart
broken way to make the effort. When
he quietly left the hotel March 4, with no
baggage but a hand satchel, friends
confidently believed he was bound for
the capital In obedience to their advice
Unfortunately Montgomery did not
communicate with his family at this
critical stage of his career. Had he done
so he would have learned that Mont
gomery, ST., had made arrangements for
his reappointment, and there was moth
ing but affection and forgiveness in his
fathers heart.
Sick at heart and covered with shame,
young Montgomery left Annapolis, not
to go to Washington, as his friends i'm
agined, but to vanish as completely as
If buried. When news of his disappear
ance reached his home in the west Mr.
and Mrs. Montgomery were prostrated.
The best detectives that could be found
were at once put upon the case, and
for months there has been no cessation
OF effort among the searcherS.

DENVER, Col, Feb. 21.-The week
just ended has witnessed the heaviest
snowfall and the greatest number of
snow slides in the mountains of Color
ado since 1884, according to advices from
many points. There have been many
fatalities, numberless narrow escapes
and several persons are reported miss
ing.
A dispatch from Breckenridge says:
"Mr. Conway left Dillon with a pack
train for Collier mountain last Friday.
Today news was received that he been
overwhelmed by a snowslide, which
buried his entire train. A party left
here to attempt his rescue, but little
hope Is felt thut he will be found alive.
Two slides came down today from I'm
ogene basin, near Ouray. One demol-
ished the buildings of the Camp Bird
mine, fatally injuring one man, Peter
Fichberg, and burying two others who
narrowly escaped death. The other slide
carried away the ore house of the United
States mine.
The railroad blockades, some Of which
lasted forty-eight hours, have all been
raised, and trains are all running with
reasonable regularity throughout the
state, but the wagon roads in most of
the higher portions are impossible and
many small towns are accessible only
by means of snow shoes.

Punishment inflicted
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-For two
years past the natives on the islands
of Raitea and Tahaa, dependencies of
the Tahiti government, have refused
to recognize French authority. News
from Tahiti on December 26th last is
that Governor Gallet left Papeete on
board the French corvette Duguay-
Trouan, with the transport Aube, to
punish these people. A force of Tahitian
volunteers, marine infantry from New
Caledonia and Papeete, with sailors
from the warships, were the combatants.
The bombardment of Tahaa village
was effected by the warships, and on
January a fight took place at the viii
lage of Tevaitoa, where the natives
made gallant fight against the 700
French troops They suffered defeat
and had seventeen killed and five
wounded, while the French loss was
four wounded. According to the official
narrative. the victory will suffice to
produce an excellent effect upon these
rebellious natives, who are charged,
among other crimes, with having an
English flag in their possession.

At $3.50 the launches of the Texas

their wives and daughters out to the
ship, where they spent the day quite
pleasantly. The Texas being anchored
in the gulf did not deter large crowd
fro going out to see her, and her launches
were kept busy all day conveying them
aboard the Texas and back to their
boats. The launches, however, were not
equal to the emergency and large num-
bers returned with only a sight Of the
ship. Tomorrow the Texas will begin

weigh anchor and sail for New Orleans

festival unless complications should
arise during the cruise, so that her
