LOCAL NEWS From the Dailv Herald of November 17. DEATH OF A. A. COHEN. One of the Eminent Lawyers of the Pacific Coast Expires While Journeying Home.

A. A. Cohen, whose death on a Union Pacific train yesterday is announced in the dispatches, was one of the ablest lawyers of the California Bar and ranked among the very first of railway attorneys of the country. Excepting a short interval he was for years in the employ in his professional capacity of the Central Pacific Company, with a salary the largest paid to any railroad attorney in the United States. Cohen was among the very wealthiest of the Hebrews of the Pacific coast, his possessions counting up into the millions.

In the later seventies Cohen was one of the Central Pacific officials dispatched to Montana in connection with the then proposed railway extension from Corrinne to Helena, and at that time formed the acquaintance of many of our people. His estate across the Bay of San Francisco, a lew miles from Alameda, is one of the most magnificent in California. Many hundreds of distinguished personages from every part of the world have in the years past enjoyed the generous hospitality of Mr. and Mre. Cohen at their country home.

Numbers of Montanians have been their our own citizens, ex-Governor Hauser, Col. W. F. Sanders, the late Surveyor General Blaine, the editor of the Hekald and others. Mr.

Cohen fell ill while in New York, and his special car was dispatched to convey him home. His death occurred near Sidney, while journeying to the coast. His age was about 60 years. Library Books En Route. The Public Library authorities received to-day a bill of about 400 volumes of new books ordered some time since through a Philadelphia house.

These books were shipped on the -th inst. by freight the difference in time by express did not seem to justify paying twelve and a half cents per pound, as was charged on the last lot received by express. Three-fourths of this lot of books are of the class termed novels and by many denominated trash, but the class of readers demanding this kind of reading constitutes much the larger portion of the patrons of the library and could not be ignored. There is, however, a considerable portion of solid reading of the more permanent kind, including history, travel, biography, science and art. There is quite a portion also for the younger readers.

When the money is paid in for taxes other orders will soon follow, and any who have in mind desirable books that they wish purchased are requested to give the titles to the librarian, so that they may be included in the next order, which will be made soon. AnotherGrand Jury. Judge McConnell announced this morning that another grand jury would be summoned for to-morrow. The immediate occasion of this is the failure of an indictment against a man named Bereube, charged with removing mortgaged property. It seems that one of the grand jurors was the prosecuting witness.

Messrs. Botkin and Balliet made a motion to quash on this ground, and alter argument this morning the court sustained the motion, but remanded the prisoner. Aside from this case it is probable that the Judge will instruct the grand jury to investigate some other matters, among the rest the condition of the county poor house. A Rand ot Bovines. Yesterday a Northern Pacific train landed 240 head of young cattle at the Helena stock yards for Thomas Crahan, of Jefferson county.

The bunch was bought in Oregon by Sir. Shirley and delivered here per contract. The cattle will be wintered at Cloverdale ranch, near fine property formerly owned by Van H. Fisk, and purchased by Mr. Crahan for stock raising purposes.

Mr. Ilannaford's Illness. J. M. Hannaford, general traffic manager of the Northern Pacific railroad, was stricken with paralysis at St Paul, Friday last, and telegraphic advices received at the Northern Pacific headquarters in Helena, yesterday said "Mr.

Hannaford is gaining every day and hopes to be able to resume work within ten days or two weeks. The cause of his illness was the bursting of a small blood vessel in the head his mind is perfectly clear, Attempted Suicide. Belle Davis, a well known Bridge street cyprian, attempted suicide yesterday morning by taking morphine. She was discovered before the deadly drug had done its work, and by the prompt application of vigorous antidotal treatment her life was saved. Murdered His Wile.

Granite, M. November to man at Granite by the name of Scott shot his wife through the head last night or early this morning. It is supposed he was drunk or did not realize what he was doing. Some neighbors went to the house and found Mrs. Scott lying on the floor dead and the murderer sitting up in bed with a gun by his side.

Scott has been arrested and jailed. Married. The marriage of Mr. Edward H. Cooney to Miss Georgia Day, of Wickes, was solemnized last evening at 8 o'clock by the Rev.

Father Palladino in the parlor of the episcopal residence. Mr. D. W. Summer was man and Miss Etta Cooney, sister of the groom, of No.

18 S. Rodney street, bridesmaid. After the ceremony the parties returned to the residence of Mr. Thos. Cooney, on Rodney street, where handsome presents were displayed and a pleasant evening passed among a happy party consisting of a few invited guests of the family.

The groom's parents welcomed their friends by a tempting spread of an elegant supper where delicious champagne and coffee were the beverages. After a pleasant evening the bride and groom repaired to the Merchants Hotel, where they have taken rooms until after the railroad celebration. Mr. Edward Cooney is a well to do business man of Wickes and the bride is a handsome miss, late of Minnesota. The Herald extends hearty congratulations.

An Able Protector. If there Is a more able protector against the incursions of disease than Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, we have yet to learn It. Against the periodic attacks of fever and ague it affords a sure defense, it renews waning vitality, and counteracts the infirmities of age; it prevents dyspepsia from becoming chronic, and eventually annihilates it. It rouses the and kidneys when dormant, nnd insures a regular habit of body. To the nervous itOis of inestimable Imparting steadiness and vigor into an enfeebled physique.

The term, "delicate health," is usually another name for debility. While the Bitters is procurable the weak need never despair of physical reinforcement. Persons whose avocations are sedentary and laborious, or Involve exposure to unfavorable climatic inti uences. will also find the Bitters an able protector. novlS 21-23gw2t of a to a From the Dally Herald of November 18.

THE If. P. KICKS. Northern Pacific Men Obstructing the Montana Central Operations. By telephone from the Woolston Water Works, near the scene of the railroad oper ations, the Herald learns that the North era Pacific people and the Montana Central track-layers have come in conflict At noon to-day the end of the Montana Cen tral track reached a point two miles from Helena, and shortly afterwards crossed the Northern Pacific without opposition.

It will be remembered that the grade first made from that point into the city limit by the Montana Central proved to be on the N. P. right of way The M. C. a month ago gave np this grade and bnilt another one further south and, as they supposed without the limits of the N.

P. right of way. As already chronicled, the Northern Pacific took possession of the first grade a few days ago by laying track on it Today the N. P. sent oat a large force of men to take possession of and hold the second grade, which they claim also on Northern Pacific gronnd A train was dispatched from Helena and stopped right on the crossing of the Mon tana Central.

The latter are still distributing ties ahead, bat laying rails has been suspended. A party of Northern Pacific officials, including Col. Sanders, the attor ney, and General Agent Stokes, were oat at the scene this afternoon. Three o'clock advices give a different account of the tronble. The Northern Pacific ran a work train down their new track on the abandoned Montana Central grade and stopped on the crossing of the Montana Central track.

They held this position for about two hours, obstructing work for that period, when orders were received from St Paul to make no further opposition. Rumor bas it that the N. P. intended to get a train in from the west and stop it near the stock yards to obstruct the passage of the Montana Central at the crossing of the main line, but failing in this adopted the course just detailed. LAYING TRACK.

Helena Turns Out a Large Crowd to Witness the Performances of Montana Central Track Layers. All day yesterday the valley road between the city and the Scratch Gravel buttes presented an animated scene. Hundreds, nay thonsands of people, snatched a few hours from their daily duties to drive out to the end of the approaching railroad to witness the feats of track laying performed by the railroad-building army of Donald Grant. A continuous stream of carriages, baggies and vehicles of every description poured over the road from morning till night, carrying carions spectators to and from the end of the track The forenoon was pleasant, bat in the afternoon a cold wind sprang np, making a pleasure drive somewhat difficult of accomplishment. But for all that people went and enjoyed it, too.

Nor was the visitation confined to the men. Numbers of the fair sex, scorning the weather, faced the biting breezes in the com pany of their escorts, and enjoyed the sight afl'orded by the track-laying spectacle. To many the scene was fact to all for, though numbers had seen the Northern Pacific in course of construction, none had ever witnessed such a rapid performance. At the time of the writer's visit, late in the afternoon, the engines and construction train stood right at the base of the wooded butte that juts out into the valley, while the tie-setting and rail-laying was going on almost a mile in advance. From the trains to the front was a scene of bastle and activity that only by thoee who have seen be appreciated.

Alongside of the road bed, over foothill and field hundreds of teams both horses and males, haaling loads of ties to the front, forced their way, and by the time one cavalcade passed a well defined and dnsty wagon road appeared where ten minntes previous not a wheel mark was visible. Ties were thus distributed in advance of the rail layers, who followed some hundred yards behind. These men took the rails from the distributing car, drawn over the track by horses or mules, which made a kind of towpath on each side of the ties, being attached to the flat car by long ropes in canalboat style, as the rails were laid the distributing car was pushed forward before they were joined to repeat the operation. As the car passed on, men dropped on their knees and clapped on the "fish 7 which join together the rails, patting in the bolts and screwing the burrs home so fast that it seemed hardly to commence before it was done. Next came the spikere, working in pairs, who spiked the rails to the ties.

A third man held the tie close to the rail with a crow bar. while the dno with their hnge hammers placed the spikes, one on each side of the rail, and drove them home jin a trice. a tie was missed by the first gaDg and a second crew followed to perform what was left undone. Then came the last gang of straightenere. These were armed with crowbars used as levers and shoved the track from one or the other side in obedience to the directions of a foreman who stood in the rear, "lining them in." And the celerity with which everything was done! It fairly made one's head swim.

No sooner did one wagon nnload its ties than the driver tamed about and drove back to the source of supplies at a rapid gallop. Tbe writer counted fifteen teams in one line going back to the construction train, all galloping as tight as the speed of the animals would allow. In every other department of the work the same hurry and bastle was exhibited and tbe marvellous performance went on with startling rapidity. All the men were in good humor and with smiling faces went through their allotted tasks as though railroad building was the rarest and most enjoyable sport in the world. Altogether they were the jolliest kind of a crew and each seemed to vie with the other in doing the fastest work.

At the trains the crew of engine men and train hands attended to their portion of the work. Engines No. 155 and No. 55, of St. P.

M. M. are supplying the motive power and have come all the way from Minot, Dakota, this year, poshing the new railroad across the plains of Dakota and Montana for over 600 miles. No. 155 was in the lead and bore evergreen decorations.

Her crew, consisting of Frank Staph, engineer, Fireman Sanders and others, stood with smiling faces in the cab and greeting all comers with a kindly welcome. Donald Grant, the celebrated contractor, was everywhere along the line. His office is in one of the hnge care in front of the engines, and there he found time yesterday to receive and welcome many Helena visitors. He was mostly, however, along the line, directing the work and seeing to it in person. First Freight.

It is learned that Mr. Boos has arranged to receive the first through car load of freight over the Manitoba-Montana Central. The car, elaborately placarded, is expected early next week. From the Doily Herald of November 19. IN HELENA.

Arrival of the New Railroad--Preparations for the To-day, at noon, the Montana Central tracklayers rounded Capital Hill and entered Last Chance gnlch, the working force plying their tools ander the gaze of hundreds of Helena people, who lined both sides 'of the road. The tie distributors finished their labors an hoar before and went into camp for the time being on the eastern slope of Capital Hill, where the large nnmber of teams were given their midday feed. At noon operations were suspended while the men took dinner bat in a short time tie setters, rail layers and spikere were again at work driving onwards into the heart of the city. The depot was reached this afternoon and work on the necessary sidetracks was begun at once. To-morrow will finish np this part of it and by Monday everything will be in readiness to receive the first through train from St Paul.

The depot grounds to-day present a busy scene. Contractor Palmer has the freight depot which stands on the west side of the track, under roof and receiving the shingles as rapidly as a large force of men can lay them. The passenger depot on the east side is jnst being commenced. The long platform for the debarkation of passengers will be completed to-night. It is at the end of this tha the triomphal arch under which Mr.

Hill's party will pass will be erected. A large force of the company's graders are making the dirt fly on the city approaches to the depot and the city is working some men and teams on the street this side of the railroad ground. By Monday Center street will be transformed into a convenient thoroughfare to the new depot. This will be the only mode of access to the depot for tbe present, though in a short time it is expected to have a highway opened to Main street direct. The P.

Folloxvs Suit. To-day the news is received that the Union Pacific has struck its colors to the Manitoba freight rates and made the first reduction in years in its stiff tariff. The Herald foreshadowed this resnlt in a recent is8ne and the prediction is justified. In fact the outcome was inevitable from the moment tbe Manitoba proclaimed its rates. It is singular what evolution has brought this about.

For years the Union Pacific has maintained an unchanged tariff, and now the completion of a road 600 miles north of it, but none tbe less a competitor, compels a reduction. The result is fraught with great significance to all Union Pacific points. Up to the present time shippers in Ogden, Salt Lake, Pocatello, Helena and intermediate points on the U. P. system have been compelled to pay tbe same rates, $3 per hundred for first class merchandise, from Omaha.

Now that the Manitoba tariff to Helena is met by the Union Pacific, this state of affairs can no longer obtain. Under tbe interstate law higher rates cannot be charged for a shorter haul than a long one, and the result is a sweeping redaction that at fell swoop brings down the charges all along the line. The new rate to Helena is $2.35 per hundred, first class, with other classes in proportion, and, though by stretching the law the same rates can be charged to points farther east, the interstate mandates will not allow a higher tariff so that, as the U. P. has redaced its rates to Helena in conformity with existing tariffs on the Manitoba and Northern Pacific, it most mrkfc the same redaction to Ogden, Salt Lake, Granger, Pocatello, Blackfoot, Eagle Rock, Melrose, Dillon, Batte, Anaconda, Deer Lodge and other points on its system not further away from Omaha than Helena.

The present figures of the U. P. freight tariff to thoee points are higher than those over the Manitoba and Northern Pacific to Helena and, as the Helena rates are to be met, down they most all come accordingly. For all of which the country from Salt Lake to Helena can thank Manitoba railroad and the city of Helena. Who would have thought that, at this early day, Helena would prove the pivotal point to swing and determine the rates to Salt Lake and Ogden? Potter's Prognostications.

Chicago special, 15th Vice President Potter of the Union Pacific was in the city yesterday, en route to the east, where he goes to consult with the president and directors in relation to the affaire of the company. Referring to financial matters, he expressed himself as mach gratified with the outlook. He was not disturbed by the Manitoba's new tariffs. That line had not reached Helena, Mont, yet, and would be taken care of when it got there. The consequences to follow had been largely magnified.

The prospects for the Union Pacific were excellent, and if let alone it would soon prove its capacity for growth and revenue." The above was shown to General Manager Shelby, of the Montana Central, this morning, and he said that, in view of the fact that the Union Pacific had just lowered its rates on 'account of the reduction made by the Manitoba, he thonght that road would have plenty to do to look ont for its own business interests in this section. Responsibility Disclaimed. So far as we are able to learn the local officers of tbe Northern Pacific were in no respect responsible for yesterday's interference with tL Montana Central's advance into the city. Col. Sanders, attorney of the Northern Pacific, was freely credited with suggesting the obstruction, bat that affair is strongly disclaimed for him, and to his representations, it is said, are doe the orders from St.

Paul to withdraw opposition and permit the rival track to proceed to its depot terminal. Such, at least, is the belief expressed by President Broadwater, of the Montana Central. A Fire. Yesterday morning, abont 7 o'clock, the large stable on the Snnnyside Ranch, owned by Chas. E.

Colbert, four miles west of Helena, was destroyed by fire. No one is living on the ranch at present, and it is surmised that the fire originated from sparks from the Northern Pacific freight double header" that goes up the grade between six and seven. The stable was some sixty rods from the track, bat a gale was blowing at the time, and sparks coaid ignite at that distance. Loss $1,500. Insured for $400.

The Poughkeepsie Bridge. The new bridge at Poughkeepsie, N. the competion of the first part of which was noted in the dispatches a few day ago, is a remarkable piece of bridge bnilding. The first trass was finished and swung clear on the 7th inst. It is 525 feet long between the centers of the towers, 82 feet deep, and 35 feet widt, and is said to be the largest and heaviest steel truss in the world.

It rests on steel towers 100 feet high, which stand on masonry piers whose foundations are 125 feet below high water, and its total height from the fonndations is 337 feet It carries a floor system on top for a doable-track railway, and is capables of supporting a rolling load of 3,000 pounds to the running foot on each track. at in a TOWN AND TERRITORY.

Mexican War Veteran. The wonderful efficacy of Specific as a aemedy and cure for rheumatism and all blood diseases, never had a more Illustration than this case affords. The candid, unsolicited and emphatic testimony given by the venerable gentleman must be accepted as convincing and conclusive. The writer Is a prominent citizen of Mississippi. The gentleman to whom Mr.

Martin refers, and to whom he is Indebted for the advice to which he his final relief from years of suffering, Is Mr. King, for many years the popular night clerk of the Lawrence House, at Jackson. Jackson, April 29, 1SS7. Tbe Swift Specific Coupant, Atlanta, Gentlemen have been an Invalid pensioner for forty years, having contracted pulmonary and other diseases in the Mexican War, but not till the 1st of March, did I feel any symptoms of rheumatism. On that day I was suddenly stricken with that disease In both hips and ankles.

For twenty days I walked on crutches. Then the pain was less violent, but it shifted from Joint to Joint. For weeks I would totally disabled, either on one side of my body or the other. The pain never left me a moment for eleven and seven Is from March ls'75, when I was first attacked, to October 1, 1S86, when I was cured. During these eleven years of Intense suffering 1 tried innumerable prescriptions from various physicians, and tried everything suggested bv friends, but if I ever received the least benefit from any medicine taken Internally or externally, I am net aware of It.

Finally, about the first of September, I made arrangements' to go to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, having despaired of every other remedy, when I accidentally met an old acquaintance, Mr. King, now of the Lawrence House of this city. He had once been a great sufferer from rheumatism, and, as I supposed, had been cured by a visit to Hot Springs. But when I met him he told me that his visit to the Hot Springs was In vain found no relief. On his return from Hot Springs he heard, for the first time, of the S.

S. S. as a remedy for rheumatism. He tried it and six bottles made a complete cure. Several years have passed since, but he has had no return of the disease.

I Immediately returned to try It. In September I took four bottles, and by the first of Octooer I was far as the rheumatism was concerned. All pain had disappeared, and I bave not felt a twinoe of IT SINCE. I have no Interest in making this statement other than the hope that It may direct some other sufferer to a sure source of relief, and if It has this result I am well rewarded for my trouble.
