FOR THE PLAINTIFF.
Mary Mccain Receives a Verdict for
$500.


$500.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Oct 27.--A jury in Depart
ment II. of the district court awarded
Mary Mccain judgment for $500 in her
$4,000 damage suit against the Mon
tana Central. The case was on tflal
several days, going to the jury yester-
day afternoon. a sealed verdict was
arrived at during the evening and an
nounced in court to-day The jury stood
nine to two in favor of the verdict hnal-
~ agreed upon. One juror is understood
to have favored a verdict Of 10000,
others of amounts ranging from $500 TO
$4,000. while the three stuck out for
SIC, 900. The plaintiff claimed negligence
on the part of the company in not pro-
viding a railing on the platform of the
East Helena station and proper lights.
She got off the train from Helena last
May during dark night and claimed
to have fallen off the platform q dis
lance of several feet because of the
absence of the railing and lights, sus-
a sprained ankle and internal
injuries. The defense claimed she had
forgotten her umbrella, leaving it on
the cars, and as she ran to catch the
moving train fell off the end of the
platform and not on the sides. The
jury, from the amount of the verdict,
evidently believed that version. 1t
is not expected the company will ap-
peal.

New York, Oct. 27.-Collector BidWell
and Deputy Collector Phelps of the
customs service were much chagrined
to-day over the publication of a story
dealing with the alleged smuggling
operations of Adolph Peabody, for
merly a diamond dealer in this city.
Peabody was before Collector Bidwell
yesterday on charges that he had
smuggled quantity of diamonds val
ued at from $4,000 to 100000 into this
city by way of Canada.
Peabody, according to the story in
customs circles, failed in business here

among them two large diamond i'm
porting firms In the Maiden Lane dis
trict 1t is supposed that the news
of Peabody's diamonds being detained

that the motive was revenge.

of the collector and will be appraised
in a day or two. Peabody voluntar-
lily surrendered the greater part Of
them yesterday, taking them from

RIVERA WAS DISMISSED
His Views Not in Harmony With
General Brooke.
HE WOULD NOT RESIGN
The Petty Crisis Said to Have Arisen
Over an Order Relating to
Cock Fighting-Cuba Worse
Off Than Ever.

Havana, Oct 27-General Rios Rtv-
era, former civil governor of the pro-
vince of Havana, whose withdrawal
from the governorship was reported as
resignation, denies that he resigned.
He says he was dismissed and that he
does not know upon what grounds the
dismissal was ordered. He admits that
he had recently remarked that he
would resign in the event that at least
one out of three nominations he had
made to public office was not approved,
but he attributes his dismissal to the
direct influence Of Senior Domingo
Mendoz Capote, secretary of state in
the advisory cabinet of Governor Gen
eral Brooke.
Senior Capote, according to General
Rivera, sent asking for the latter's
resignation, which was refused.
General Brooke, when approached re-
garding the matter to-day, declined 20
talk for publication, saying that he
preferred that any explanation should
be made by General Rivera himself
Senior Capote asserts that he required
General Rivera to resign because heWas
an obstructionist and out of harmony
with the administration, and that Gen
eral Rivera replied that he would wait
until he was dismissed, which was de-
cided upon Immediately. There was TO
objection, according to the secretary Of
state, to General Rivera holding GER
tain views as a private Individual, but
as a subordinate it was the duty Of
General Rivera to carry out instruc-
tions and to not make himself an ob-
stacle. There was no other way 10
solve the problem, said Senior Capots.
( La Lucha, referring to the dismissal,
| says: THE sole cause was the refusal
| of General Rivera to allow cock fight
| ing, his course in this respect being
contrary to a previous order emanating
| from Senior Capote permitting it,
| La Discussion says: THE occurrence
| shows the lamentable lack of harmony
| between prominent Cubans occupying
| leading positions. The government
| must have had exceptional reasons cor
| Diminishing such prominent man."
Ell Cubano, in an editorial on the
general state of affairs, abuses The
Americans and congratulates General
Rivera on his dismissal, adding: Cuba
is worse off than formerly. when she
| owned her bad Spanish laws. Now
she is worse governed than ever as
both the American and Spanish laws
are in force. to be used at the option
of the Americans

there were six demonstrations. and the

ton for about two hours Signor Mar

attained, as the navy department was
more particular as to the accuracy.
None of the members of the naval
board would give an opinion of the work
done by Signor Marconi, Admiral Farqu-
har watched tae demonstrations for q
time, and seemed greatly interested.
