NEW CITY HALL FAST NEARING
COMPLETION.
WELL SUITED FOR PURPOSE
All Departments Will Be Comfortably
and Conveniently Housed
With Ample Room.
Fridays Daily Gazette.

From Fridays Daily Gazette.
4 With the near approach to COM
pletion of the city hall the officers
of the city are becoming more and
more anxious to get into the COM
Portable and handsome offices that
will soon await them.
An inspection of the building in it's
present incompleted condition even,
reveals that fact that it is to be one
of the finest in the state and it is n
wonder the gentlemen who are at
the head of city affairs are desiring
to get into it. The fire department
already has the greater part of it's
apparatus there, and Chief Bond is
busily engaged in planning out little
contrivances for the convenience and
efficiency of the service.
Police Magistrate Mann, who has
for years been cooped up in a little
room, not larger than an ordinary
business Office, is watching the
progress of work on his swell court
room, in the first floor. The judge
will have a private Office next to the
court room connected by a door lead
ing behind the railing, and everything
will be SO grand that he has now half
way made up his mind to wear an Of
fetal robe, trimmed with the tradi-
tional ermine, when he energies from
his private Office to take his seat on
the platform behind an elaborate desk.
In the zeal of the court room is a door
leading down to the Jail in the base
ment and offenders can be brought
up without inconvenience to the court
officers.
The mayor. city treasurer and
clerk will also have handsome Offices
on the first floor, on either side of a
spacious hallway.
\ double stairway will lead to the
second floor, where the council! cham
Der is located. This Don IS large
and handsomely finished and we'll
lighted, and will make an IDEAL place
for the sessions of the city fathers.
There are several private Offices in
front Of it which will be oc :up;el by
other officials.
The chief of police is also to have
a roomy Office which will be police
headquarters, a department that the
city has long needed.
The contractors expect to have the
building finished within two weeks,
but there is an immense amount Of
work yet to be done on it.

in Ten Eyck Block.

IN len GyCk DioSN.
From Friday r1aiiy Gazette.
At 8 o'clock last night the fire de-
partment vas called out to subdue
a blaze at Mrs. Driscolls millinery
store, in Montana avenue.
Mrs. Driscoll packed her stock OF
millinery yesterday, ready for ship
ment to Livingston today. Quite an
amount of accumulated trash was
placed in the stove and a pile OF 1T
was left near and the blaze was COM
municated to it from the oveTheated
stove. The family had rooms up
stairs and discovered the fire soon
after it started, and the prompt re-
Spouse of the department averted any
serious loss.
The building, which is owned by
w. B. TenEyck, was damaged by
smoke to the extent of about $25.
| The stock, being in boxes, sustained
no damage.
A second alarm was turned in u
half an hour after the tiremen had
disposed of the first fire, caused by a
pile of blazing rubbish in the rear OF
the same building.

State of Montana, Yellowstone Coun-
ty-ss.
Personally appeared before me,
Henry White, a notary public in and
for the county of Yellowstone and
state OF Montana, II A. A. Beck, who
being duly sworn. deposes and says:
That he had examined the pass book
of Bob. Robinson, treasurer Of the
Federal Labor Union, purporting to be
a record of the deposits made in
Yegen Bros Savings bank to the
credit Of said Robinson as treasurer OF
said union, that from such examina-
was a discrepancy between the cred
it's shown. thereon and the balance
as reported by G. F. Burla, the cash
Ter of said bank, Of 500, and that he
was further led thereby to believe
that such discrepancy was due to the
neglect or carelessness OF said G. F.
Burla. Deponent further says that he
hsa since had an opportunity of max
ing further investigation, and that he
is now satisfied that he was misled
in his first opinion, and hat the rec
ords of said bank as kept by said
G. F. Burla are correct, SO far as they
relate to this matter.

ANOTHER o IT.
Closing Chapter in Hunt for Buried
Treasure.

Treasure.
Frou Fridays Daily Gazette.
There was a robust rumor at1oat
this morning that the money that Fred
Morrow was brought from Deer Lodge
to dig up, had been dug up consider
ably prior to the time that Mr.. Nor
rows recent visitation was made, says
the Yellowstone Journal.
By whom is not known but the re-
port is that the visit of the young man
from the pen was a failure. To add
to this view of the case, V. B. Thomas
stated this morning that on several
occasions his boys had gone over
every foot of the surface adjacent to
the spot where Morrow directed the
detective to examine and all they
ly belonging to a tea caddy Or some
such receptacle. This may or may
not have been the lid to the tin box
in which Morrow declared he hid the
money.
Many people entertain the opinion
that the visit of Morrow's father to
Miles City about the time these
events were taking place was. not
without results of considerable i'm
p%ortance in the ultimate disposition
of the money.

THE STOCK N 4 Rh EI.
Uneasiness Proves Unfounded.

Uneastness Proves Nnfounded.
 New York, Feb 10.--There was some apprehension in speculative circles to- day that the support accorded the mar ket on Saturday after the appearance of the bank statement would prove but temporary and that setback was im- minent in the prices of stocks. The heavy fire losses reported over Sunday, especially that at Paterson, caused ad- ditional apprehension before the open ing. But the uneasiness proved to be unfounded. There was abundant buy ing of stocks from the opening, and but little liquidation was encountered. There was indeed profit taking in many of the stocks which have had striking advances recently.
 But the strength was diverted to new points. Irregularity of this character is an incident of bull markets. But to- days market, although disclosing some striking features of strength, by no means took on the full proportions of a bull market in the modern sense, either in the volume of dealings, the extent of the advances or the breadth of the dis tribution. The bulk of the business was still congested in comparatively few stocks, notably Southern Pacific and the Readings and stocks most nearly allied to them. There were some indi- cations of common origin for the ac- tive dealings in both of these leaders. The buying of Southern Pacific is avow- edly based on the rate of earnings re- ported for the company and the future possibilities of reduced operating ex- penses and refunding of high interest rate mortgages. The gain in the price of the stock extended to 2h per cent. The strength of the cOalers was due to the belief that an adjustment was as sured of labor disputes. The soft-coal carriers shared in the movement.
 Many less prominent stocks were fea- lures of the trading. notably the St. Joseph and Grand Island stocks. the Kansas City Southern stocks and the Toledo, St. Louis and Western stocks. Some of this class of stocks which rose last week suffered sharp reactions. American Express rose II and Wells Fargo J54 on the couN ieLiuu that deNel- opments are pending in the express business. The industrials generally were inclined to be heavy, except those having to do with iron and steel
 A detailed analysis of Saturdays bank statement shows that few large banks are responsible for the large changes in Saturdays statement. Of the total loan increase of nearly $29,- GOO, GOO four banks are seen to be respon- sible for over S20OO0 GOO, namely. the National CitV tha First Natinna1 tl,r Hanover National and the National Bank of Commerce. The large changes thus shown confirm the conviction prevalent that some large financial projects are pending, As bearing on

 The extension to the car house of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad IS nearly completed. It is seVenty-tVe feet in width, with a frontage ot sixty feet on Fillmore street, and has capac- ity for sixteen, cars. The tracks are laid in the new building and it will soon be ready for use. The company IS en- larglng the entrance on Grand avenue to the repair shop to admit the large cars.
 At 1;30 yesterday afternoon as one or the big electric cars was descending the hill opposite the Quinnipiac school d farmer driving north deliberately drove in front of the car The wagon was slowed around by the collision and pushed off the track, but was not oVer- turned The driver was thrown from his seat to the bottom of the wagon The car was under control at the time, else another story would have to be told. The conductor inquired the name of the farmer, but the latter would not give it. You were not to blame ana shall not ask any damages he replied. He was asked why he ran such risk by driving in front of the car. He said it was slippery on the west side of the street, his horses were smooth-shod, and he wanted to give them better footing.
