Charles II. Babcock, who wasformer-
ly an Indian trader on the Grow reser-
walton and who has been in Billings on
a visit for a few weeks, expects to
leave for his eastern home today to
remain for the winter. Mr.. Babcock
hopes to be able to return with his
family next spring to remain perma-
nently.
There are few people in this section
of the country today who have seen
more Of the transformation of the Vel
lowstone country from a wilderness
to a high state of civilization than
Mr.. Babcock. He came here in the
days when the country was occupied
almost solely by Indians and buffalo.
Settling then in the valley of the Still
water as an Indian trader, imagination
in those days did not ever bring the
thought of the several railroads which
now penetrate the immediate locality.
Billings then was not thought Of and
the town was not plated until years
after his arrival. His mail was
brought to his trading storerby over
land stage and blackboard a distance
of more than 500 miles from a railway.
Speaking of Billings, Mr.. Babcock
said that the town had already grown
beyond all expectations of many who
have watched it's progress. He has
faith in it's future and hopes that he
will soon be able to arrange his at
fairs in the east that he may see his
way clear to come here to establish
his permanent home.

Mrs. SummerviIle Pays Fine for carv-
, ing Husbands Neck.
When Lewis Summerville was tried
before Judge Mann yesterday morning
on the charge of beating and abusing
his wife the testimony made it appear
that the story tola~by Mrs. Summer
Vile did not state all the facts in con-
nection with the difficulty which led
up to his arrest and the wound he re-
ceived in the back of the neck from
his wife.
Mrs. Summerville testified in sub
stance as she related her. story last
Saturday to the court, claiming that
Summerville began to strike and
abuse her while she was sitting down
and that in order to defend herself
she used. what she had in her hand"
Her daughter, who was a witness, told
a story somewhat at variance. She
| said her father had entered the house
and accused her mother Of having
conspired with his creditors to close
him up under an attchment. This,
she said, her mother had denied and
her father had called her a liar, at
which stage of the proceedings she
herself had interfered by warning him
not to call her mother a liar. A scuf-
file had ensued between herself and
father during which he had struck her
with such force that she had gone
partially through a window.
NSummerville in his own behalf de-
MED that he had struck his wife, while
not denying that he had made the re-
mark imputed to him as questioning
her veracity. His daughter, he de-
clared, had picked up a butcher knife
and had made an attempt to use it on
him. A chase around the table en-
sued, he said, and in attempting to
take the knife from the girl he had
pushed her through the window.
Meanwhile his wife had cut him.
DR.. Rinehart, who sewed up the
aperture in the back of the defendants
neck, testified as to the nature and ex.
tent of the wound and gave it as his
opinion that it would have been physi:
cally impossible for Mrs. Summer
Vile to inflict it in the manner de
scribed by her, as she could not have
done so when in a sitting position
with the defendant in front of her an6
pounding her in the face and body.
AS the testimony of the physician
was corroborative of the story TOLD
by Summerville that his wife had GU
him while he and the girl were strug
Cling, the court. discharged him.
AS soon as the action was ended
Mrs. Summerville was taken into
Judge Fraser's court on a warran
charging her with assault in the thirt
degree. She entered a plea of guilt.
and was fined $40 and costs. Saying
she was tired of her Griffin" hus
band, Mrs. Summerville left court an
at once consulted an attorney rela
, tive to instituting proceedings for
divorce.

to use the CHASTITY relic as evidence to

GLASS IN CONFECTIONERY.
Sand In Sugar outdone by Sweets
 Made Sparkling With Glass,

From the London Lancet
 It seems that sweets are made to gift ter by means of splinters of glass. SO that the sweet has the appearance of con- sisting of sparkling crystal sugar. We have In our laboratory at the time of writing some specimens of even high class confectionery. said to be of French make, which all contains liberal sprink- ling of glass flakes. When the sweet is dissolved In warm water the flakes tumble to the bottom of the fluid Into a miniature heap of broken glass. The flakes present both sharp points and sharp edges, which are eminently calcu- lated to cause an injury to. or even to perforate. the walls of the digestive canal. It is difficult to imagine a more powerful mechanical irritant than tags of glass, which might easily cause laceration and hemorrhage, not to mention other disturbances, such as are set up by for eign bodies less jagged than glass, in the alimentary canal.
 The sweets to which we have referred were sent to us by correspondent with a request for analysis, and he relates that these sweets were partaken of by two little children, who shortly afterwards suffered from severe abdominal pain, in one case in the region of the appendix. The pain persisted for several days. The effect of sharp glassy particles lodging in the appendix could of course be easily disastrous One analysis enables us tc say most positively that these glittering particles are glass. They are quite un- changed in boiling water or In boiling acids, and they melt into beads at a red heat. On analysis we obtained silica, lime. soda. and little lead. which are the constituents of common glass. It Is probable that the practice is adopted In order to compensate for the absence of any crystalline appearance in glucose, which Is now so much used as a substi- ute for cane sugar in confectionery. In such case the practice is not only mon- strous because 1t is likely to lead to se- rious injury to health. but because 1t Is a fraud also. Sanded sugar was bad enough. but to put glass splinters in sweets Is diabolica1.

THE BLACK BULL OF HOLBORN. This Famous sixteenth-Century Hos.
 telry Nears It's End.

From the London Pail Mall Gazette
 The Black Pull Holborn, is one of the last survivors of famous old London inns, and that house, too, Is doomed. It Is strange that it has lived so long when the nature of the trade by which 1t was maintained has so entirely changed It has taken fifty years to accomplish It's downfall The Black Bull was established about 260 years ago, and from 1t for very many years the stage coaches which journeyed to the eastern counties started. Every morning punctually at 10 o'clock the Cambridge coach departed. The house was a fine specimen of the old-fashioned inn. with a gallery outside the first floor over the yard which the wings enclosed, in that respect resembling the famous Talbot inn in the Borough and the Four Swans, Bishopsgate For many years, however, this courtyard has not formed part of the inn, and the rooms in which SO many generations of travellers have slept have been let out for lodgings
 In the old days of Holborn valley, with Snowhill rising on the east and Holborn hill on the west, when drag had to be placed on omnibus wheels for the descent and the steepness of the road killed many a brave horse, the Black Bull stood on the rise but the making of the viaduct brought the roadway to a level with the inn. One curious custom was long ob- served, many last glass of all being sup piled from the house to condemned crim- inals on thier way to Tyburn-their final privilege in this world. It is not unlike ly that new hotel may be built on the site of this sixteenth-century house; whether 1t will retain the black and gold bull for sign remains to be seen.

Railroad Men Play.

The clerks in the general freight offices of the Southern Railway and the Louis- vile and Nashville Railroad played a highly exciting game at I.akeview yester- day afternoon. Solon Jacobs of the Cen tral of Georgia officiated as umpire, and he called the players upon the deld promptly at o'clock. There were a num- Der of spectators present to root for their respective favorites. and they did their work we'll
 The gae continued until dark, and on casting up the totals 1t was ascertained that the Louisville and Nashville men had circled the bases just twenty eight times while the Southern men had man aged to shove one man across the plate. As only seven innings were played 1t Is hard to estimate what the score would have been had the two teams remain ed on the field the full nine innings:
 Score by Innings

 It was almost impossible to note the the positions of the different men in the game, as they changed so often, therefore the tabulated score Is not given.

Cincinnati, May 1.-The classic Latonia Derby will be run Monday afternoon at the beautiful course of the Latonia Jock

The Latonia Derby will be the first of the year at a mile and half and will test the speed and endurance of half dozen or more of this years best three-year-olds The stake will be worth about $600O to the winner, and the lucky equine that lands the big end of the purse will be race horse sure enough. Nearly all the candi- dates entered for the great event are now quartered at the track and not few Of
 them have gone the full distance in most
 impressive fashion. The track has been at it's best for a week or more and all the work outs have been close to the win ming mark. If 1t happens to rain on derby day the race will be more uncertain than ever. The most formidable candidates have shown liking for fast track If the going should be heavy next Monday the race will likely go to an outsider that will be at home in the mud. There Is no pronounced 1aVorlte TOT the rlcH SUdhei although two or three of the starters are strongly favored by the talent. Among the starters will be Baker and Gentry s Judge Redwine; J. B. Respess' Brandon; J. J. McCafferty's The Puritan: Dan O'Brien's Longfellow; John Morris Amur and Gaheris; J. F. Schorr's Alard Scheck, J, D. Smiths June Gayle and W. H. Laughlin's Hernando.
