Mayor Cook announces a special
meeting Of the town council at the
council chamber, Friday evening,
July 9th. TO consider the matter OF
raising the grade on Main street and
transaction of such other business as

Misses Brooks and Mcguire, in
structors in the normal school at
Trenton, New Jersey, are visiting
with Mrs. G.. j. Wiedeman this week.
The ladies were friends Of Miss
Agusta Weydert. n sister of Mrs.
Wiedeman. who died two years ago
at Trenton. They will remain for Il
few weeks.
Hon. T. e. Power, president of the
Montana Woolgrowers association,
has received n letter from the secre-
tary OF the national association,
that the annual meeting would he
called to convene at Helena on
August LIST. Mr.. Power trusts that
as many wool growers as possible
will attend the meeting.
Charles Landusky, the lG-year-old
son of the late Pike Landusky, who
was killed by Harvey Curry in De.
cember, 1894, il in the Choteaucounty
Jail en- route to the reform school al
Miles City as an incorrigible. The
boy is said to be dead hard, refuses
to attend school or obey his mother,
and IL a general nuisance to his
neighbors Mt Landusky. He was
committed last week by Justice Ever
EFT Of Harlem.
There was quite an exodus from
town Monday via the stage routes
The coach to Benton had seven pas
sengers, that TO Great Falls nine pas
sengers, and at noon seven went or
the regular and three on an extra tC
Harlow. Besides the travellers Their,
was a large amount Of baggage ant
mail on each. The Benton coacl
now makes the run Of 100 miles il
from 11h to l2A hours every trip
avoiding all night drives.
1t seems in very poor taste for thu
Eagle to criticise Commissioner
Slayton and Phillips in being absen.
for two days from a meeting of tn
board, when only last year Commits
sioner Corbly was absent sewers
weeks in the Yellowstone park wheI
he should have been at home at
tending to his business. Messrs
Phillips and Slayton were detained
by business, but Mr.. Corbly wa
merely seeking his own pleasure.
Several days last week were takel
by the commissioners in the work q
equalizing the assessment and Fri
day they adjourned that bushes
until Monday. Saturday, In pursu
ance to call, they wrestled with roa'
matters and Monday went to UticI
to look at the bridge there. The as
sessment this year was so cOmplet
and free from errors that thechange
so far made are small. Many G
!, them were made on the recommends
ton of the assessor, who, when Il
his opinion raises should be made
refers the subject to the board.

READS GORMAN'S LETTER

READS GORMAN'S LETTER.
Il hold in my hand a letter from MI
Gorham, secretary Of the state, addressed
to me, which I shall read so that it shall
go upon the record. 1t IS as follows:
United States Senate Chamber, Wash
1ngton, d. c., March !. 1S77-Dear Sir; In
reply to your verbal inquiry, l have to
say that the paper presented by Mr.
joint meeting. and which the president
OF the senate refused to receive, was not
at any time in Mr.. Ferrys hands. AS
to myself. I did take 1t up and remarked
in the hearing of several, including the
house tellers, that I was a friend Of Mr..
Ferry, and, as the paper seemed to be a
L would take charge OF 1t. l put 1t in my
coat pocket, intending to bring 1t away
with other papers. Being admonished by
the president Of the senate that my re-
ception of it might be considered a con-
structive reception by him, I took 1t from
my pocket and laid 1t in plain view upon
the desk where l was seated. I never
again had it in my possession, and do
billty concerning 1t. If 1t was brought
out of the house do not know It. If
it was taken at all 1 do not know by
2"George c. Gorham.
Hon. James A. Garfield. House Of
Representatives"
Mr. Garfield then closed his speech as
follows: THAT letter clears up all pos
stand that all persons belonging to the
official force of the senate who were pres
ent at the meeting Of the two houses
disclaim any knowledge whatever OF the
where abouts of the paper and disclaim
any implication that 1t was taken to the
senate at all. The fact that It has been
discovered here in the nousa now ends
the whole chapter"
To this Mr.. Hewitt replied: "A senate
messenger brought It to me and refused
to tell me from whom he received 1t,
although l asko1 him
Mr.. Garfield die not know that and
have no desire to go further into that
question.
Then the debate continued in a more or
less confused manner, Speaker Randall
vainly endeavoring to maintain order,
until along toward morning, when 1t came
to close by the formal refusal Of the
presiding officer to receive tho mysterious
package. Ii was not received, was not
opened, and the electoral vote for Yer
mont was counted for Rutherford T.
Hayes and William A. Wheeler. That
closed the official record of the case.
NEVER KNEW THE CONTENTS.
The electoral commission never knew,
nor did the senate or the house or the
country, what the founding package con-
tanned, where it came from, who sent 1t
to Mr.. Hewitt. who carried il to him, or
what became of the phantom messenger
and the elusive package afterward.
That story will be told here and for the
first time.
When the secretary of the senate found
he could not receive the package without
making the president Of
