HOLD UPS ARE NUMEROUS.
In Butte-PoIice Round Up Suspicious
Characters.

Butte, Jan. 9.-Early this morning
two masked men tried to hold up No.
shaft house, at the Boston and Mon
tana mine. James Mcdonald, engi-
neer, Shift Boss Alexander Mcdonald,
M. Bean, and Oscar Jameson, were in
the engine room when the callers en-
tered, who leveled guns at the men
and ordered them to hold up their
hands against the wall, and look pleas
ant, while being ransacked of the
contents of their pockets. Mcdonald
thought it was a josh and said so, re-
marking that he had no money, that
he had left it on the piano at home.
He indiscreetly turned his head from
the wall, and one of the men shot at
him. The bullet entering his right
arm, and tearing and ugly hole. The
search of the miners pockets resulted
in clean up of Is cents, the highway
men then left in the darkness. Hold
ups are too numerous, says everybody
in Butte, and the police are looking
at the matter in the same light They
have inaugurated another cleanup of
hard looking toughs. A dozen or more
vagabond-looking geniuses were ar
rested today,

ATLANTIC TO

Vanderbilts Secure Control of

A CONTINUOUS LINE

San Burlington's Inter-
ests Will Be Considered.
\ CONTINUOUS LINE

New York, Jan. 9.-W. X. Wander
bits plan for welding together the
Union Pacific, and the North Western,
which he conceived more than year
ago, is now about to be carried out.
When it is completed it will be found
that the Vanderbilts have a through
transcontinental line Of their own
from the Atlantic to the Pacific The
original scheme was to lease the
Union Pacific to the North Western.
but it is not certain whether this will
be done. The control of the railroad
is to be acquired through the purchase
of majority of the Union Pacific
stock, and this is to be done in an
open manner, which accounts for the
big jump in the price during the last
few days. The Vanderbilts already
have representation in the Union Pa
cific directory. Marvin Hughes, Ros-

William X. Vanderblt's interests. The
assumption is that the control will
be brought about by the naming of q
majority of the directors, which is ex-
pected to take place at an early date.
The Union Pacific stock acquired by
the North Western will be treated in
much the same way, as the majority
of the Jersey Central stock, which WIS
bought by j. P. Morgan & Company,
for the Reading. A collateral trust
bond may be issued, but this is not
|yet certain. Some are wavering
about listing the Union Pacific to the
North Western. This deal was has
tened by the discovery that the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy was anx-
ious to secure the Union Pacific, or
at any rate make a close traffic deal
with the latter. This compelled the
North Western to hurry their deals.
1t is possible that the interests of te
Burlington will be considered. These
great systems will be brought into
close harmony, but the control of the
Union Pacific will rest with the Van
derbilts.

Senate Concurs with the House
In the Matter of
THE ARMY CANTEEN.
The Vote Was Decisive-River and Har-
Dor Bill Causes Dissatisfaction and
Endless Debate.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The army can
teen is to be abolished, as the senate
today, by a very decisive vote, con-
CURED in the house provision relative
to the army canteen. Only Is votes
could be mustered in the senate in its
favor, while "a were cast against
the provision. Most of the time today
was occupied by Senators Teller, Pet
tigrew and Butler, all opposition to
the adoption of senate committees
amendment which provides for the
continuance of the canteen. Beyond
disposing finally of the canteen ques-
ton the senate has accomplished lit
tie, and seems doubtful whether a fin
al vote upon the army measure will
be reached before Friday or Saturday.
The house committee considered the
river and harbor appropriation bill
today. Little progress was made In
view of the bill carrying such vast
sums for local improvements, many 10
caities are bound to be disappointed
and there is generally considerable
soreness among the members who fail
to get what they want. This feeling
outcropped in several places today,
The disappointed members refusing to
allow any limit being placed on the
general debate, it extended through
OUT the day, being seemingly no near
er conclusion at adjournment than
when started.

New York. Jan. 9.-In an early
morning fire in the Erie Basin front,
that lighted up South Brooklyn,
Boards shipping stores, at the
foot of Ripard's store, were partly de-
stroyed. The Idlewile was burned to
the waters edge. Dne fireman was
injured, and close ,,.n so secmen
narrowly escaped with their lives. The
total loss is estimated at $5OO,OOO.
How the fire originated no one knows,
on board the Idlewile. The steamer
was lying just inside the breakwater
from which point it drifted as soon as
cut loose directly across Erie Basin,
and up against one of Boards pier
heads. In very short time the big
covered pier, where jute and cotton
were stored in bales was in flames
from the piling to the roof. On the
other side of the pier was lying the
tramp steamer Seth Dunston, from
Liverpool, with a cargo Of fruit and
sugar. BY 4 o'clock the fire had died
down to smouldering embers, in the
bales and debris that has assembled
on the piling.

wIERD SHADOWS ON THE WHITE HOUSE

Superstitutious persons recall since
death of President Mckinley the appear
ance of the shadows on the large pillars
of the White House portico early last
winter. These shadows had been noticed
for three or four years, but it was not un-
til last December that they attracted
general attention. Then it required no
stretch of the imagination to recognize a
human forearm and hand, with bent
finger upheld i'll the attitude of warning,
outlined. near the top of one of the COL
umns. This appeared shortly after noon
each day for nearly week, lasting about
an hour.
After that, when the position of the
sun changed somewhat, the shadow dis
appeared from the pillar, only to reappear
in nondescript form later in the day on
the column at the northwest corner of
the portico. It then gradually assumed
more definite form, and finally repre-
sented the face and shoulders of President
Mckinley in profile, the resemblance
being most striking. The silhouette ap-
peared foor or five days in succession, but
lasted only few minutes at time, when
it gradually and by most imperceptible
degrees into an easily recognized outline
of the features of the late Queen Victoria
1t is fact, testified to by all the mes
sengers and police officers at White
House and by many visitors to the man
sion, that the death of President McKin-
ley's mother was preceded for several
days by shadow picture on the porch
pillars of the bent form of an old woman
standing near spinning wheel.

WHIPPED AT NEW CASTLE

Not in recent years in the history OF
whippings in this county has the sheriff
welded the cat with such an effect as
was witnessed at New Castle Saturday.
Five culprits, four of whom were white
and one colored, tasted the cat, which
was pli:s! without regard to personality,
and TIE esult was that the four white
men received the same weight of the cat
as did their colored companion. The
first man to face the post was Edward
Mclaughlin. He received Is lashes well
laid on. The marks showed on his back
and he suffered as the 9TH, 11th and 18th
lashes of the cat purred on his barred palt.
Charles Robinson received 10 lashes and
yelled as the fifth and eight swish of the
whip struck him. Michael Tully twisted
and squirmed at the fourth, fifth and
ninth fall of the cat touched his back.
James Demby, colored, the only negro in
the party, whistled as the cat fell on his
jet black skin. The lashes were well laid
on. Edward Leary did not sustain much
injury.
