I trust also that if there is any occasion because of what has been done to make complaint that the parties will not take the remedy into their own hands. One of my brethren remarks very properly that while we continue this case for two weeks, the law is not suspended. That remains in force and its penalties remain in force. And the law speaks the same force and will during these two weeks as it will after this investigation is olosed. TO SERVE UNCLE SAM GOLD IN MONTANA. A Murderous Melee Among Mtnen. Nothing but euperlatice intrinsic merit c»n account for the phenomenal reputation achleved in eo short a lime, by Salvation Oil. It kills pain. Price twenty-five cents a bottle. A Rush to the Rich Placer Digging* °' RED FLAGS GALORE. Shamokjn, Pa., March 19.—A number of Italian and' Hungarian miners at Hickory swamp were gambling in a boarding house, when, an Italian was detected cheating. A quarrel arose and after a "vigorous rough and tumble fight a Hungarian drew a revolver, and commenced firing into the orowd, wounding two men. Weapons of every kind were then drawn and Andrew Veni received a knife thrust in the neck, while severa others were slashed in a fearful manner. During the struggle Michael Sisson left the scene and went home He went to his wife's bedroom and picking her up in his arms, he threw her on the floor and kicked her terribly, and in the midst of his brutish work the woman gave premature birth to a seven months deaa child. A body of Hungarians, who were attracted by the woman's screams, entered the house and secured a clothes line to lynch Sisson, but he leaped froma window and escaped to the mountains. Sweet Gra«» Hills. Railroad Men Who Have Violated the Law Sharply Rebuked. Another Long List of Important Minneapolis, Minn., March 19.—A Tiibune special from Big Sandy, Mont., reports great excitement there over the development of gold mines in the Sweet Grass hills, thirty-five miles northwest of there. Miners in Eclipse gulch are making $50 to |80 a day. Most of the gold is from placer diggings, but blue ore has been struck and the country is full of prospectors. For a week past men have been flocking there from all over Montana and Dakota and without making adequate provision for their sustenance. Supplies cannot be obtained fast enough and a famine seems imminent. The Sweet Grass hills comprise three buttes, varying in height from 7,000 to 8,400 feet. Water and timber abound in the east butte, but the middle butte has neither. The surrounding bottom lands contain small creeks. The righest placer diggings are Eclipse gulch in the middle butte and Hazer gulch in the east butte. Silver, copper, iron and fine quality of marble have been found, while coal is abundant on Milk river and sage rock to the east. Wages at the mines are from |4 a day upward, but almost every one is pros-- pec ting for himself. Nominations Made. Philadelphia Alive With Socialists on St. Patrick's Night.

WHITE CAPS RELEASED. The Humphrey Boy Died trom Natural Philadelphia. for New Jersey and an Appraiser for Washington, March 19.—The hearing before the interstate commission in the matter of through export rates was continued. Mr. Murray, general traffic manager of the Chesapeake and Ohio, admitted export rates were made at Chicago and other western points to meet competition from other lines, not by adding the inland 4o the ocean rates, or ocoan rates which his road could secure at Newport News. When asked by Judge Cooley if this vas legal, MiT Murray said he was not present to discuss the legality of cutting rates, but he would say that receiving orders of the commission directing that inland proportions must be added to ocean rates in making export rates, his company had notiflea the commission that it would be unable to comply. The ocean rates, he waid, were practically arbitrary and the inland rates very elastic. Speaking of -manipulation of rates west of the Mississippi river, he thought tliey were underhilling and false billing on domestic business, but so far as he knew, not on ton ■exports. Mr. Harriott, general freight agent of ttlio Baltimore and Ohio railroad, said that company added the inland rate to the ocean rate, and he knew of no manipulation west to secure traffic for particular lines. Ocean rates changed frequently, while inland fluctuated but little. Causes, So the Inquest Decided. Washington, March 19.—The president sent the following nominations to "The Rising Sun of Liberty." Philadelphia, March 19.—The coroner's inquest in the case of John W. Humphrey, the 10-yeor-old boy of 2958 Lawrence street, who died, supposably from the effects of fright and a fall, when several boys played "White Caps" and captured him, resulted in a verdict tuat death was caused by tubercular meningitis from natural causes. The father of the dead bov stated that his son, although not was of a nervous temperament and \Oa first taken ill on the night of the 7th inst. He was very nervous, saying repeatedly that the boys had frightened him. He was continually saving "Oh they are after me." He had said this several times before, on each occasion claiming that the bovi chased him into the house. On the night he was taken ill his mother asked him to go to a neighbor's store, but he begged to remain home, saying: "Oh, mamma, don't make me go; the boys are after me." He became unconscious shortly after being taken ill, and would caU out: "Oh don't let them catch me." Phti.atiBt.phia, March 19.—Although yesterday was ostensibly celebrated as St. Patrick s day in this town, there was a decide t predominance of the red over the green last night, the occasion being the oelebration of the rising in Berlin on March 18,1848, and the anniversary of the great Paris commune. The organization known ss the worklngmen's society was responsible for the racket, and with red flags flying and tba blare of trumpets they made things exceedingly lively at Yor-» Mannerchor haU, Sixth and Vine str. * the senate Justice—W. Budd Deacon, of New Jersey, to be marshal of the United States for the district of New Jersey. John S. Burton, of Mississippi, to be marshal of the United States for the northern district of Mississippi. Ladles in a License Court. "West Chester, Pa., March 19.—The license court here, presided over by Judge Waddell, presented an unusual sight yesterday. It was almost filled with ladies representing the different local Women's Christian Temperance unions in Chester oounty, who are delegates regularly appointed to see that the judge does his duty in granting and refusing licenses. There were sixty-seven applications for license made. Fourteen of them are contested, and in these oases there are long lists of names asking the court to refuse licenses. Two licenses only have been granted, to hotels at Phoenixville and Unionville. Edwin I. Kursheedt, of Louisiana, to be marshal of the United States for the eastern district of Louisiana. Brad D. Slaughter, of Nebraska, to be marshal of the United States for the district of Nebraska. The demonstration was the largest of its kind ever held in this city, but with the exception of the action of a few hot heads the meeting was an orderly one throughout. There were present delegations from ajmost every German singing society in the city and a long and varied programme was. given. The most interesting feature of the evening's entertainment was the execution of a pantomime by thirteen scholars of the Socialistic school. It was a representation of "The Rising Sun of Liberty," intended to convey the meaning of the principles upon which the Socialists base their organization, "All for Each and Each for AIL" William H. Whitman, of New Mexico, to be associate justice of the supreme court of the territory of New Mexico. Smith A. Whitfield, of Ohio, to be seoond assistant postmaster general. Abraham D.

Thomas, Jr., of Maine, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to Sweden and Norway. Samuel R. Thayer, of Minnesota, to be envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the United States to the Netherlands. Washington, March 19.—All the papers prepared at the interior department looking to the opening of Oklahoma territory are now before President Harrison, and it is expected that within this week he will issue a proclamation opening the country to settlement. At this time only about acres of land will be thrown open to settlement. The land that will be affeced by the proclamation lies in about the middle of the Oklahoma country. The Chicago, Kansas and Nebraska railroad, now in course of construction, runs along its southwestern border and the Southern Kansas railroad through its eastern border. A commission to treat with the Cherokee Indians for the purchase of the Cherokee outlet will, it is thought, be appointed shortly after the proclamation is issued. By tha terms of the law in regard to settlement no one who takes possession of a holding prior to the issuance of the president's 8reclamation acquires any right. On le contrary, by the express mandate of the law itself any one who makes settlement prior to the proclamation of the president not only forfeits his holding, Dut it is perpetually debarred from acquiring title to land in the Oklahoma country.  To Open Oklahoma. Attacking the Presiding Elder. The eight little boys accused of causing the Humphrey bov's death by frightening him appeared very tough as they listened to this. They were from 6 to 10 years old. Dr. Formad, who made the post mortem, testifleC} that the boy had tubercular meningitis—inflammation of the brain, due to tubercular tendencies—and that this caused his death. _ Lancaster, Pa., March 10.—At the session of the Philadelphia conference the reports of Presiding: Elder Crouch, of the West Philadelphia district, ana Presiding Elder Swindells, of the South Philadelphia district, were read and the characters of the effective elders passed. After the reading of the latter report, Bar. William Mullen made an attack on ex-Presiding Elder Welch, but was declared out of order by the bishop. The missionary anniversary was held last evening. The exercises closed by every one standing and singing the Arbeiter-Marseillaise and shout of "Vive la Commune." During the evening there were distributed about the building thousands of oopies of socialistic papers, among them being Herr Most's New York Socialist, which contained a long article commenting upon the day which was being celebrated and calling special attention to the principles of the society. Mr. Hayes, general manager of the Walianh and Western company, said the reauirement of ten days' notice of a reuction in export rates would demoralise the business of roads doing an export trade. He admitted that his company (tad in some instances cut rates and made their rate without adding the ocean rate to the inland rate. His excuse for doing this was that they did not understand thst the commission order for ten days' notice of reduction of rates was still in force. Several other witnesses maintained that strict compliance with the commissioners' order would drive nearly nil the roads out of the export business. When the commission had finished the (examination of witnesses Judge Cooley rend all present a pretty sharp lecture and «ontinued the case two weeks in .order to give representatives of some southern roads who were not invited to tthis hearing an opportunity to be heard Con this export rate questions. He said: "I made the statement awhile ago that -we propose at the request of gentlemen here representing the southern roads to to give them a hearing and they have named for that purpose two weeks from to-morrow. We should be glad to name an earlier date if practicable but we do not find that it is. I do not known that there is any reason why it should be earlier, excepting the one that this sort of thing which has been going on at the north—of which I think the evidence is abundant—may perhaps continue ui.\ess the commission makes some deliverance »on the subject now. " Wedo not want to be compelled to an■ trounce an opinion on so mportanta matter without careful deliberation nor until the southern gentleman have been iheard. But Is very manifest that there have been things going on here that should stop at once. They never ought to have been done and if they should eeaae forthwith there weuld be no reason why we should not make two months, or even a longer time, for final expression of opinions. As to what has been Sting on we must compliment Mr. ayes for coming forward and stating frankly just what the facts wert as regards his own road. We should havo been better satisfied if a like course had been taken by all others. They must be all satisfied now that what they have been doing has not been justified by the law and (here should be no more of it. They ought all now to do what no doubt Mr. Hayes will do, namely, in a manly manner endeavor to comply with the law. Our purpose is not to hurt any'body, but to be of service to the community in see that the laws are observed, and while we have fixed two weeks from to-morrow for the hearing of these southern gentlemen, in the meantime we expect the parties to take up the law and study it and see that tDo fat as their own roads are concerned it is lived up to. Here is the law and it is not for you hereafter to say to us that there are practioable obstacles in the way of complying with it; that you toould loee business by so doing, and all that sort of thing. We are not concerned in that. We do not wish to do anything to make you lose business; at the same time we cannot accept it as a valid excuse that if you obey the law you will thereby lose business. "The time ought to be considered as gone by when a manager can come to us and Say: 'I named this rate, and I did jt regardless of law, because.my competitor had done the same thing. There is no excuse for that practice. If a wrong is done by one road to the injury of another the proper method of redress is jrot to duplicate the wrong, but to go before the common authority, whether jt he the commission or the voluntary assotion, with complaint of the wrong. One n-rirae in railroad circles is no more to be exoused by another than one theft is to be justified by another, and it ought to be just as discreditable to violate a criminal law which affects railroad managers in order to make money for their roads as it is to violate criminal law in the appropriation of private property. "I say these things in view of the fact that we think in justice to theee southern gentlemen we ought to give a continuance of this investigation for a couple of weeks in order to let them show what there is thai is peculiar in their case. We do not want to express an opinion that will affect their interest until they haw been fully heard, but in the meantime practices in the north that have been justly complained of, and which have all appeared to be unjustifiable, should not be continued. That should lie distinctly understood. "I trust that after saying so much we shall not two weeks hence have complaints brought to us that these practices have been going on in the meantime. Parties muBt not take their redress of wrongs into their own hands when the legality of what they complain of is to . *ay the least, very doubtful. ''I trust after what has been said, we Charles E. Mitchell, of Connecticut, to be commissioner of patents. Nathan O. Murphy, of Arizona, to be secretary of Arizona. David M. Lines, of Louisiana, o be special examiner of drugs, medicine and chemicals in the district of New Orleans, La. The corner discharged the boys who were under arrest, with a warning to be more careful in the future. He told them, to play properly, and that if they kept on in their present course they would get themselves into serious trouble and bring sorrow upon their parents. Hooalers III Convention. Don't Experiment. Terre Haute. Ind., March 19.—The meeting of Indiana coal operators here to consider the s ale question was held with closed doors. President Jenne said no information as to what action would be taken would be given to the press a* the meeting was of a striotly private nature. The committee sent by Indiana operators to the Columbus convention made their report, in which they set forth their reasons for withdrawing from that convention. The operators will meet again.  - Tou cannot afford to waste time in experimneting when ;our lungs are in danger Consumption always seems at first, only a cold.

Trenton, March 19.—This will be a busy week at Trenton. That everlasting "repealer" is still unenacted, and the prospects of its passage in the assembly are so thin that the Democratic leaders are turningtheir attention to other measures. The redisricting bill will come up immediately. The bill to divide Hudson oounty may appear this week. The bill providing a new charter for Jersey City and Newark, giving all power into the hands of the mayor, will pretty surely be put upon its passage. All these bills will excite opposition, and there is not much prospect of getting any of them throug h either house without a long fight.  Washington, March 19.—The secretary of the treasury has issued a circular stating that all persons desiring five cent nickel pieces and 1 cent bronze Sieces can have the same forwarded to lem from the United States mint at Philadelphia to points 'reached by express cars, free of transportation, in sums of $30 or multiplies of that amount, upon receipt ana collection by the superintendent of that amount of a draft on New York or Philadelphia payable to Ms order.

J., March 19.—The storm tide did great damage all along the beach, washing away the entire crop of salt hay which had been stacked up on the meadows, and tearing out the railroad track for miles. At a point below Harvey Cedars the track had been lifted up bodily and twisted all out of line, and several hundred yards of it had been carried over against the telegraph poles, which prevented it from being carried entirely away. In this vicinity the tide covered the meadows to the depth of a foot or more. Several boats were torn from their moorings and dashed against the dock. They were all recovered by some of the 'longshoremen, who breasted the current. The branch road to Beach Haven was badly cut out and damaged. No trains can be run for months, perhaps.
