DOTY AVRTTES A UVELY' D E - SCItlFTION OF DUTTE. The Gi’eatost lu n in g Cami» on E a r t l i —No N ight aiul No Sunday T llere—Gam h- Ung C a rried on O p e n ly—Some o f tlie In d u s tries. 'u ly growing wonderfully. It is said to be the greatest “ mining camp” on earth. The city and its suburbs number from 23,000 to 25,000 people of a very cosmopolitan character. Th(T miners principally are Comishmen. They get $3.50 and $4 a day, and live a life of revelry. There is no night, and no Sunday hera Gambling places are licensed, and all kinds of games are played openly, with no attempt at concealment, and no one seems to think it at all improper. The best citizens will step in, just off the side walk, take a look at a game of faro or poker, and pa^s on about their business. The other day one of the gambling- houses, it was discovered, did not have its sign : “ Licensed Gambling House,” displayed according to regulations. The proprietor was hustled into the police court and fined $50, which he smilingly paid, and marched out. The people thought it quite a joke, and remarked that the city officials were afraid some ranch man or tenderfoot would come into town and get out again without losing his money at a gaming table, the sign not being out to invite him in. 1 said there NO NIGHX AND NO SDNDAY. Of course this was figurative—the twi light phenomenon not extending to the elimination of the ordinary and arbitrary divisions of time. All night long, and aU day Sunday, are nearly all the places of business opened and in full blast. In fact, Sunday seems the liveliest day of the whole week. True, the church bells chime, and they call just about the same- sized congregations as in the East. But mingled with the clanging of these bells are the tooting o f locomotives and factory whistles, the ringing of locomotive and factory bells, the playing of brass bands, and the nearly usual week-day rush of business. The eating, gambling houses, saloons, etc., are in full blast, the streets are crowded with men—women are scarce here—there is trotting and racing on the race-course down on the flats, there are base-ball games, shooting matches, one prize-fight recently, regular wrestling and boxing matches—the Corniahmen are eternally wrestling; theaters, variety shows, etc. : and all on Sunday. At least, it has been so since I have been here, and they say it is so all the time. If you aek, “ Is it this way every Sunday ?” the reply,in all kindness, will be : “Why, yes ; what’s the matter with you TflE PEOPLE. The people seem uniformly courteous, and even encouth looking men lift their hats to the ladies. Good nature seems to prevail everywhere. Tue Comishmen drink and quarrel occassionally, but rarely fight. Opposite my office window, as I write this Sunday evening, there are several o f these Cornish saloons within view and earshot, and they are singing and incessantly talking and laughing. Nearly everybody seems to be feeling happy. I suppose I am the most misera ble, homesick one in the whole “ camp.” At least I judge so, from appearances. Everybody dresses well, there are no ragged or barefoot children, and Mrs. Beebe, my aged landlady, who has long lived here and came here from Elm ira a quarter of a century ago, says she never remembers to have seen an illy-clad and suffering child in this camp. I suspect this is a roseate hue, but I have seen only happy faces and well clad forms, what ever the negative side may be. Big wages are paid here, and everybody makes money. Not many save it and that keeps it afloat. A glass of small beer, cider or lager is from a “ bit ” to 15 and 25 cents. Cigars the same. News papers are 10 cents each, for the dailies. Nobody gets less than $3 a day. There are few rmvs and riots, compared to what one would expect in a population of the size and character of Butte. Yet the fines in the police courts amount to over $100 a day. Every fine is $25 or $50, and that is paid with as much ease as $1 would be in Port Jervis, and no wry faces are made over it. THE INDU3TEIEB. Everything is mining. That is all the talk. The ore is silver, copper, lead gold. But little of the latter, and mush of the former. In fact, the whole city is built on claims, and the streets are liter ally filled with silver and copper ores. Mines, smelters and reducing structures are everywhere. To-day Mr, Bteven Rodgers and I visited nearly a dozen, and we only “ took in ” a part of the Boston & Montana Mining Co. district. The biggest is the Anaconda mine, which is down 1,000 feet. Most of them mine for copper and get silver enough out of the copper ore to pay for the work. Whistles, big and little, are attached to all these scores of mines and mining works, and, as most o f the workmen make their “ shifts” every eight hours, the whistles keep up a terrible din, nights, days and Sundays just the same. Occasionally the smoke and fumes of of sulphur from these works settles down upon the city. W e ll! Then there is trouble, particularly for the “ tenderfoot.” He gasps, and wallow, and paw the air ana I am afraid, sometimes swears. He becomes nearly asphyxiated. Thi.s is gen erally in the morning. This has helped to confirm my opinion that the morning air is not the most healthful. The winds soon lift their vapor, and northwest winds blow much of the time. THE OOHNTKY ROUND AUOUT. Few Eastern people would be pleased with the country. Vegetation is sparce, and only trees of stunted pine are seen, and they are few and far between, and on the mountain sides, below the line o f sum mer snows. Bunch grass and sage brush grow, but there are no lively green hills and hillsides, as in the East. Everything looks parched. It is said that Montana and Dakota are great grazing lands, and it is certain that thousands of cattle, sheep and horses are raised here. But what in the world the poor beasts find to live on, is more than I can understand. Millions of tin cans are scattered everywhere, and the average goat might thus easily solve the problem of existence. But, strange to say, there are few, if any domestic goats. There are plenty o f wild ones, with deer, cinnamon bear, and other big game in the mountains. Appearances of the country is not pleas ing at all, so far as agrarian tastes go, and one longs for the day when he can eni- sconse himself in a snug rural retreat in the East or South, where there is some thing more ordant than the ‘ ‘ tenderfoot ” or ranchman whom one frequently en counters on the streets here. A green meadow and a warm summer day would be a luxury to an inhabitant of the North- (To le concluded). w. t . d . A CHXTRCH IN TROVBEK. T rustees am i Otliei- MemUer.s of tlie B a p tis t Chiireli AVitlulraw T h e ir Sui)i>ort. The trustees of the Baptist church of this village held a meeting in the base ment r.f the church Saturday evening at which all the trustees and several other members of the church voted to withdraw their support from the church for the present. This withdraws a revenue of about $400 m pew rent besides the per sonal contributions of these members in other ways. This action of the trustees and other members of the church has grown out of a trouble that has been brewing in the church for some time, and that originated in a demand of an increase of salary by the present pastor, C. A. Hare. The diffi culty has kept growing from one stage to another during the past year or more, until now the whole church is divided on the matter, as shown by the action o f the whole Board of Trustees of the church Saturday uight. The division of the members of the church, however, is not on the subject of the pastor’s salary, the request being refused by the unanimous vote of the church, but the division grows out of other matters which have been the prod uct of the request of the pastor for an increased salary and the unwillingness of the church to grant the I’equest. Several of the Sunday school teachers have also given up their classes. OBITUARY NOTES. Mrs. John Orr, of Mountainville, who has been sick for several months, died Sunday evening. Her age was G8 years. Mr. and Mrs. Orr have been married 44 years. Besides the husband, the children who survive her are Mieses Emma and Jessie Orr ; Mrs. Van Cleft of Woodbury; Mrs. Rice o f Brooklyn ; Mrs. D. E Suth erland o f Cornwall.

Mrs. Matthew Snider also o f Pine Bush died on Saturday about five o’clock in the afternoon. She had been sick for some time. She lost an only daughter last year and she has been failing ever since. She leaves her husband, one son and one sis ter. DANGER FROM A CANAR BREAK There was a break in the Brie canal at Adams basin near Rochester, N. Y., last week that did about $25,000 worth of damage to mill races and farm property. Had it not been for the prompt closing of a stop gate half a mile west of the break and the opening of all weirs east o f it on the level the damage would have been much greater. Several farmers will suf fer the loss of fences, oats field, potatoes and other crops that have been inundated by the flood from the canal. AN UNITS CAR COMERIMENX. The Rev. 3. P. Williams from Glen Cove, Long Island, h'ls accepted a call to the pastorate of the Elmendorf Presby terian church in Kingston.

The Goshen Ifeics is getting local poli tics down fine. It has been pointing out the favored leaders for the nomination for some time back, and now settles on three supervisors for the Democratic nomina tion for Sheriff. They are Saver of War wick, Ketcham of Cornwall, Tuihill of Minisink. “ Dick” Tuthill made up his mind at one time that he couldn’t run, but it is said “ things have changed,” and he has concluded to be a candidate. The News gives the Republican nomination for Sheriff to conductor|Jacob M, Johnson of Minisink. For County Gkrk, on the Democratic side, there is no lack of willing ones. The first named is Charles G. Elliot of Goshen; then John F. Graham of Blooming Grove; next, William II. Nearpass of Deerpark ; then, Youngs Thompson of Monroe; then, W. F, Cassidy of Newburg; and lastly some one who signs himself, “ Many Democrats,” in the Newburg Press, brings forward the name of William R, Brown, the present postmaster at Newburg, as a candidate.

Johnson was warned to be careful on account o f the quicksand, but he was reckless aud would take no advice, saying that if a person was born to be run over by the cars he wouldn’t die in a well ; also that if the well did cave in his friends needn’t bother to dig him out. In being let down in a bucket Johnson put his hand out near the bottom and caught hold of a stone which protruded from the wall, when the whole thing col lapsed and the unlucky man was buried under thirtj feet of dirt and stone. Men commenced work at once to dig him out but it was nine o’clock Sunday morning before the body was found. Johnson was about thirty-five years old and leaves a wife and two children.

His screams were heard and the mother rushed back and lifted him out, but the child died in great agony. W HAT IS H I S FO SIT IO N ?

Inconvenience of Business and Travel is tUe Result. The difficulty between the Erie and Monticello roads still continue, much to the embarassment and; inconvenience of m any people of this place as w e ll as the traveling public who patronize the Monti cello road. We arejnformed that carloads of goods for the; construction of the extension of the Monticello road, together with carloads of goods consigned to the Standard Oil com pany stand on the Erie track and that that company refuses to deliver them to the Monticello company for proper delivery. Mrs. Williams’ coal yard andj also Mr. Robertson’s are put to much inconvenience and expense in being compelled to handle their freight and transport it from the Erie track instead of receiving it as here tofore at their respective places of J.busi- ness on the Monticello track. This treatment of the people of Port Jervis by the Erie road is, to say the least, unjust and uncalled tor. Whatever may be its differences with the Monticello ^com pany, it should not, in justice to our peo ple, disregard their convenience and rights altogether, for the sake of maljing a point with another company. As yet the peo ple have been patieffi, and the pot of dis contentment has only just begun to over flow. They are slow to move in a matter of this kind, thinking that the difficulty will soon pass over, but they can not have their rights entirely ignored, and their convenience entirely disregarded, and if the Erie perseveres in its present course, when opportunity presents itself, they will resent the wrong which they now have to suffer in comparative silence, W ITH PEN AND SCISSORS.

He is Using the Ai-guments CobJen and Otlier Free-X raders Used Forty-five Years Ago—“ Free-Trade in Everything h u t N am e ” —Ret W age E a r n e r s Pou- As a rule the Presidential contest has very little interest for the Old World. On the present occasion, however,an issue is involved which very closely concerns Europe, more ■ticuiarly Great Britain.

Now can there be as pledged to imitate a new standing were he elected.

If the foregoing was not enough to sat»^ ■ isfyany unprejudiced person as to'the free-trade tendencies of President Cleve land let them^read the following from another English newspaper the London Baity News of July 6th which says : President Cleveland’s speech is more to the point. He discusses the principles at issue in the struggle and shows that he is th A BOILER EXPLOSION.

This is a very good conflict as things and, like warfare between good and evil^ hi’eatens -to be perpetual. Mr. Cleveland y find a more formidable antagonist in Gen- 1 Harrison than we have been led to ex- “ Free trade in everything but : Chat’s just the verdict of every honest man. The British friends of free-trade are more fair than their Democratic assistants on this side o f the water. But let us add another testimonial in the same direction. Here’s what the London Times say : It would hardly be possible to put the free trade case more clearly or more strongly, and 3t such is the force o f words President Cleve- id shrinks from the use o f the term “ fre3- ade,” and in fact declares that those who Limt him with being a free-trader are deceiv ing the countr-y. “ Free-trade ” appears to be equivalent, in the language of American poli tical controversy, to “ enemy o f the working men and of industrial enterprises.” That it should be so is one o f the curiosities of poUtics, and an extraordinary instance of the power of a phrase even over minds which, are commonly shrewd and reasonable; for It is certain that the arguments which President Cleveland urges are those which Cobden used to employ forty-live years ago, and which any English free-trader would employ now. Such 3 that taxation ought to be >positions a y limited by the needs of the country; ■ s tto ti “ propositii strictly li that it is unjust to tax the whole community for the benefit o f special classes; that import duties stiflle production and limit the area of a country’s markets, are purely free-trade argu ments. As such we are very glad to see Presi dent Cleveland using them, though we are sorry for the popular infatuation which makes it dangerous to give them their right name. That’s just it. Free-trade pure and sim ple. “ President Cleveland using the uments that were employed by Cobden, ty-five years ago, and wMch any Eng lish free-trader would employ now.” Is not the issue p lain? And w ill any in telligent unprejudiced voter attempt to deny that free-trade policy will prevail With Cleveland’s re election ? Already the administration bill has placed one hundred and eleven articles on the free list. What may we expect. Should this policy be in dorsed by the voters. T h e panic o f 1847, disastrous to all interests, would be re peated, only upon a scale enlarged ten fold. Do the voters want this ? Business m en shrink at the outlook and laboring men will hesitate before voting for free- trade. T H E OLD STORY OVER AGAIN. Melville, oldest son of Mr. Silas 0. Marline of Middletown, a lad about 17 years old, last week purchased a revolver. Saturday he was in the Asylum woods shooting at a mark and otherwise fooling with the weapon, when it was accident ally discharged. The bullet entered one of his hands in a diagonal direction.
