New York. Feb. S.-The stock market
succumbed TO the Cuban scare to-day in
spite of London's Indifference to the fears
reflected by the New York exchange OF a
rupture between the United States and
ties in London was partly accounted for
by the progress of the settlement of ac-
counts on the exchange.
Denver & Rio Grande preferred was the
favorite with London. and it was able to
hold a substantial gain to the close, a
conspicuous exception III this respect.
Early weakness developed III the Union
Pacific stocks, and Norfolk & Western
was keenly affected by protit-takins. The
early weakness of the market had been
to a large extent overcome by the
strength in special stocks when the news
was received of the resolution proposing
Intervention in Cuba introduced in the
senate. This broke the final hour and re-
suited in the most severe shaking out

A VERY NARROW ESCAPE
Burning Gasoline Next to a Car
load of Powder.
LIGHTED FROM A LANTERN
Most of the People in the VI nifty Made
Rush for the Open Prai. Quick
Work of the Crew Avoided
a Frightful Disaster.

Great Falls, Feb. S.-What appears
to be a very narrow escape from a
frightful disaster occurred at Havre
yesterday evening. A freight train
from the East pulled in and stopped
in front of the station. One of the cars
in the train was loaded with gasoline
and naphtha and the one next to it had
black powder. These cars Immediately
preceded the caboose.
The car of gasoline was opened up as.
part of its freight was consigned to
merchants in Havre, and a train crew
jumped into to unload that part. One
of them carried lantern. 1t developed
afterward that the cans or tanks of
gasoline had been leaking and the oil
thus spilled had evaporated, filling the
ar with a dangerous mixture of air
and gas. The latter took fire from the
lantern and in minute the whole in
side of the car was ablaZe.
Most of the people in the vicinity
started to get out on the prairie and
away from the gasoline and the pow
der, which was expected to explode ev
cry minute. Station Agent Robertson.
Conductors Munroe and Griffin, En-
gineer Kennedy and the train crews
kept their heads and after throwing
a few buckets of water into the burn
ing car and closing the doors, pulled
the pin on the coupling between the
cars and dragged them from each other
the length of the train and left them
standing isolated. After waiting long
time for the explosion, they examined
the gasoline car and found that the
water which they had thrown into ii
had been converted into, steam and
with the aid of the closed doors had
entirely smothered the fire. 1t was a
fortunate ending to what might have
proved a catastrophe.

against it, the same paper makes this
comment:
so vicious does Judge Mcfarland
seem to be over the libel suit in whlcH
he is one of the principals that he viii
not even bid US the time of day when
he meets us on the street. Having all
ways been very friendly with MIR. Nc
Farland, we regret exceedingly &c SIZE
him deport himself III this manner, as
our feelings toward him are only Of Tie
kindliest nature. We realize fully that
his filing of the libel suit was only an
other move in the game of politics and
shall entertain for him nothing but
good will. OF course, If he persists in
displaying vindictive luminosity in the
matter, we can do nothing to prevent
him, but we sincerely hope that it may
finally occur TO him that the publisher
of a newspaper can criticise offieiel
misconduct without feeling the least
vicious or personal in the matter"

HORSES AND MEN KILLED IN WAR
Proportion of Loss Among the Mounts
and Their Riders Is Quite Close.

From Our Animal Friends
In regular battles the proportion of
loss among men and horses is quite
close, and in hand-to-h hand combats of
cavalry as well as in sharp artillery
engagements for every man killed or
wounded there is also a dumb warrior
entitled TO place beside him on the
roll of honor. The light brigade at
Balaklava rode in ego mot 600) strong
and lost 2sS men, but of the eco horses
$50 were shot down by the Russian
guns. In the fierce charges of the Ger
man Uhlans and euirassiers at Won
vile, Mars-la-Tour in 1870. / 400 men
and 600 horses We're killed and wound
ed. In the fierce artillery contests on
the same field $50 men and over 1000
horses fell around the guns. AT Grave
lotte. soon after Mars-la-Tour. the ar
tillery fighting was also terrible, and
1900 horses were shot down around the
batteries. though the loss Of the artil-
lerists was less than 1000.

CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago. Feb. S.-Wheat was lower Mt
the start. May opening at $3.50 COM
pared with yesterdays closing price or
$3.50. Beyond the heaviness of the North
west receipts there was nothing particu-
larly striking in the early reports, but the
continued heavy arrival al the big receiv-
ing points was sufficient TO cause weak
ness at the start. though no selling OF
consequence was done.
Soon after the opening quite a good de-
mand developed and from a condition of
dullness the market took on quite a de-
gree of activity. Shorts covered quite
freely and the May price advanced to
95lsc. There was some attempt TO break
the market at that point, and with some
degree of success. the price being forced

Great Falls, Feb. S.-Business In the

there has been goodly number of peni-

DRINKS paid in toward the support OF
the city and one went to jail for three
days. James Vaughn, who says that his
real name is Eugene, but whose name
appears on the police register as James
more often than anything else. had an
other of his drunks last night, and in
its course he had to call on Mrs. Wright
and also on Mrs. Gowan. Each has had
trouble with him before, and SO this
time they called in the police promptly.
The police magistrate turned him over
TO the county and this afternoon JUS
tice Burleigh gave him so days in the
county Jail. Vaughn was horribly put
out by the sentence and declared that
he did not know what he would do, but
the sheriff intimated that he would
look after that part personally.
