County McKinnis issued a number of certificates of election yesterday, those for the principal officers being handsomely framed, democrats in gilt, republicans in silver. Just what especial cause Providence has for unfolding a protecting palm over Pennington and Custer counties so liberal as to deprive them of tho sleighing Lawrence is now enjoying, we know not, but that sleigh bells are at a discount in that region we do know.

We are so sympathetic that we would willingly part with all the interest we have in Lawrence county snow banks. The Fennineton mill, under lease to Gu8. Schugardt and Fred. Hoflher, started up Thursday on the Mineral Point, of the belt rauge of mines, pro nounced one of tho best locations in the Northern Hills. Three hundred tons of superior quality of ore are now on the dump, and the output is con stantly increasing.

Carlin, will prove of interest to many of our read ers. It is dated Gothic, October SO. It says that Avery, his partner, has concluded to put in a forty ton smelter near Gothic, the cost will he near 000 with roaster and everything attached. I am now grading for the founda tion for building; I have charge of all the work; I have let a contract on the Virginia mine to run a lunjiel 300 feet at $12 a foot. Avery is going to buy si controhng interest in the Virginia mine as soon as he gets back to Chicago, then he will get up a stock company; a good scheme, I think.

He and his fatheV have got lots of influence. Old man Avery was out here and liked the country very much. The Sylvinte mine is the richest thing I ever saw, almost half silver. Old man Avery has got a largo interest in the mine. My wife is going to remain in Colorado for a year.

I cannot possibly go to the Hills this fall. You know "Anthony Young," well I outfitted him this spring to go prospecting. Ho came in the other day and reported good placer diggings south of the Blue Mountains, in Southern Colorado. Ho says they will pay $10 a day to the man, but can do nothing until tho treaty with the Ties is signed. He says ho will secure Avery and I 30 acres each.

I gave him some money and sent him right back; told him to remain until tho treaty was signed. He may be a humbug, but Anthony was always considered a truthful man in tho Hills. Did you get the saddle with mule? Bogin was a fool for leaving this country; ho could have made money here. I think the place will have a boom next summer; lots of money coming in. We expect to get the smelter up this winter ready for spring.

South Deadwood Hose. Tho regular weekly meeting of the company was held Wednesday, and was largely attended. Tho several committees on building submitted favorable reports. The boys expect to be in their new quarters in about two weeks. X.

S. Harris' bill of for conveying a detachment of the. company, and hose, to the Central City fire, was received and ordered paid. After adjournment, largo delegations from the hook and ladder and Home-stake hose companies, Chief Richaids and friends of the department, appeared with an half-barrel of beer, several dark-colored bottles, and a large supply of cigars, the gifts of Rosencranz Werner, Herrmann Trcbcr and Gottstcin Franklin, as tokens of appreciation of the alacrity with which the department responded to Central's call for assistance, Tuesday night. Toasts were announced and brief practical addresses made by Messrs.

Richards, Beaman, Decker and others; after which tho assembliigo dispersed, the best of feeling prevailing. The Methodist Episcopal Lyceum. At the special meeting of the Lyceum of the Methodist Episcopal society, the committee on constitution and by-laws reported and their report was accepted. Under the provisions of this constitution tho Lyceum is to be officered with president, two vice-presidents, treasurer, secretary and critic. Next Wednesday evening the Lyceum will hold their de- bato in connection 'with tho regular social of the society.

Refreshments and music will be furnished in connec tion with the social proper. The debate eats on the question whether minis ters should mingle in politics as secular men. The subject matter of the debate ill be interesting in these times of political thought and fever, and the de- balers selected are ladies and gentlemen of conceded talent. The Hospital Benefit. Total receipts $81.75 EXPENSES.

Too much credit cannot be given Mrs. Burnham, than whom a ore motherly soul does not exist in Deadwood.

She has devoted herself disinterestedly to the welfare of the unfortunates who have been placed in her charge. To Mrs. Bennett and Young, as well as Mrs. Tracy and Hammond, is also due much for the able manner in which they managed the ball in benefit of the hospital. County Commissioners' The full board was in scsh.oii Wednes day.

In the morning they visited Tcrra- ville to inquire into the causes for the petition for the removal of Robert Francis as road supervisor, and the appointment of Mr. Turney to the vacancy. They found the peoplo unani mous in a desire for a change, conse quently such was ordered. Tho viewers appointed to pass upon the proposed establishment of a road directly up Gold Run, from Whitowood to Lead, submitted a favorublo report, but as no pint was presented action was deferred. The new highway will undoubtedly be opened up at once.

Spoiling Match. Wo understand that arrangements are under way for a ecries of spelling matches between representatives of this city, Central and Lead, and that a challenge has already been issued to Central by Deadwood. Tho object is to afford amusement, instruction, and at the same time to raise a fund for the benefit of deserving poor. A nominal charge, probably 25 cents, will be imposed for admission, and the gross proceeds after payng for two prizes, and incidental expenses, will be turned over to the county commissioners for the purpose 'Above indicated. Tke movement is a laudable one and we wish it every buccosh.

Vf III ly or favorably known to the people of the Black Hills than the subject of this article, who recently departed for the new and alluring fields of Arizona. Immigrating long before settlement was lawful, when all lines of travel were beset by hostile Indians, and when life was insecure a mile from town; when the resources ot the country constituted a problem for future solution; when society was in an unorganized condition, and law unknown; when every one was virtually an adventurer and experimentalist, and every pursuit an experiment, he at once identified himself with the country and manifested his f.iith by his works. No honest pioneer will deny that John M.

Murphy, either directly or indirectly, has, according to the means at his command, done as much for the opening up of the Hills, for the development of their resources, for the firm establishment of law, order and every concomitant of civilization, as any person in the community, and the acknowledgment thereof is but simple act of justice. As a member ot the bar, a leader in politics, a good citizen, a generous, open-hearted, conscientious man anil a genial companion, Judge Murphy occupied a prominent position, and his placo will be difficult to fill. We wish him no bad luck, but we sincerely hope that circumstances will occur requiring his speedy return. Deadwood does not care to lose him. Heavy Failure- On Friday last the sheriff took pos session of N.

's wholesale dry goods store, Minneapolis, on executions issued to the amount of $385,220.04, that sum being the amount of judgments confessed and recorded in io district court favor of various creditors in that city and the east.

have been doing a large and steadily increasing business for the past four years, and it was generally supposed that tho concern was destined Logo on prospering in future as they had in tho past. The first drawback they experienced was tho fire of last May which at one fell swoop destroyed some $00,000 of property, on which they collected insurance, leaving a loss of $50,000. Since then the linn have been making herculean efforts to retrieve the loss, but their efforts have been unavailing. The house is well known in Deadwood, and bus always enjoyed a valuable reputation. UP-CULCH.

I.E.M). Drew and Pitehie aro building a sixty foot chimney for Frank Abt's bakery. The Catholic festival Thursday night was eminently a success. Mr. P.

Sen-non won the handsome gold ring raffled for. Tho Kentucky minstrels from Fort Meade performed in Lead last night and tlie previous night. The performance was good and the audience large. A circunistanco worthy of notice may be cited in connection with a gentleman residing in this city. He is nearly seventy years old, lives in a handsome residence in the best part of the city, has a family than which there is no better in the land, and has never in his life tasted liquor, used tobacco in any form or played a game of cards.

He pledges himself to pay one dollar and ninety-nine cents on the dollar for all indebtedness of bis contract ng in Lawrence county. Ho has taken this paper for a long timo and has never waited to be asked for the pay. Orthographical. The proposed spelling match, or series of matches between the several camps of the Northern Hills, is receiv ing much attention and will undoubt edly prove one of tho most interesting and at the same time beneficial entertainments ever given in Dakota. Spelling books and dictionaries are popular works nowadays, and persons who have heietofore beguiled their time with works of fiction, pass every leisure moment nrosnectine for difficult words, Their cleiin-uus are nerfectlv annalling.

The date of the first orthographical set-to has not been decided upon. John Allen is busily engaged recruiting a formidable class in Central, and we suspect is putting them through a course of literary sprouts, hence bis desire for time. John will head the up-gulch array at the beginning, and is sanguine of iiold'iig his own against any of "Ihosc Deadwood chaps or misses." A Loosing Joke. A prominent physician of Pittsburgh said jokingly to a lady patient who was complaining of her continued ill health, and of his inability to cure her, "try Hop Bitters!" The lady took it in earnest and used the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent health. She now laughs at the doctor for his joke, but he is not so well pleased with it, as it cost him a good patient.

Law had "mysteriously" left tho country, that "his ways were dark," and that he had ileeceil Col. Lounsberry, the Bis marck Tribune says: While the ref lations between Dr. Law and the editor of the Tribune need not concern others it is but just to Dr. Law to say that when ho left Deadwood it was well known where he was going; that from Sin Francisco he wrote fully account ing tor every cc'it collected on account of tho Tribune. Now as then the Tri bune would place confidence in tho in tegrity ot ur.

Law. Right of Way to the Hills. A Yankton special to the Pioneer-Press, of November 0, says: An ar rangement has been completed between the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail In dians, whereby the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul railroad company receives the right of way from tho mouili of American Crow creek westward through the Sioux reservation to Cheyenne river. The right of way is 180 miles long and 200 feet wide.

One hundred and ten dollars per mile was paid and four dollars per acre for station ground not exceeding 1G0 acres to one station. Fire dollars per acre is paid for the town site on the west side of the Missouri river at the mouth of American Crow creek. Calety at Central. Next Tuesday evening is to bo a gala night in our sister city. Thero is to ho an assembling of the multitude at the City hall to enjoy one of the mam moth festivals prepared by the Congre- gational society.

The plan is to have oysters and a good lunch served from i 5 o'clock on through the evening, at low rates. Besides this, a magnificent eight-day French clock has been pro-, cured, which is to be given to any lady who has admirers enough to procure it for her. Candidates from Central and Golden are numerous, and there will doubtless bo an interesting time. Other amusements will furnish fun for the million. The admission will he free.

Obstreperous Prisoners. Jailor Tom Manning has the most I disorderly family of which it is nossible to imagine. On Tuesday they set fire to Hie iil, evidently for tho purpose of attempting an escape under the ex citement, but the fire was discovered and extinguished, after which the disorderlies were placed in one of the iron cells, whereupon they commenced battering the walls, and endeavoring to demolish the apartment. They were repeatedly appealed to but refused to desist, and it was not until a pistol was fired over their heads that they became submissive. They are a hard lot.

Acquitted- William McLaughlin was arraigned betore Justice Clark Wednesday for examination upon a charge of setting fire to the bam of Julius Hews, Sawpit gulch, last Sunday morning. Many spectators were present and considerable interest was manifested in the case. A vast amount of testimony was adduced but nothing directly implicating the accused, who succeeded in establishing an alibi, his sister and others swearing that at the time of the firo ho was at home in bed. He was accordingly discharged. Justices of the Peace- At the recent election about eighteen additional justices of the peace were voted for in the various precincts, without first having secured the necessary call from the county commissioners.

As it would require several thousand dollars lq equip the offices with necessary books and blanks, and as there appeal's no necessity for an increase in the number of offices, the commissioners will doubtless refuse to recognize the election. i I i I Marrlage of James Carney to Miss Annie IHcaiiiarn. Brilliant Assemblage, 'Magnificent Presents and a Memorable Event. Society has been ou the qui vive for weeks past over the marriage of Mr. James Carney to Miss Annie McNama-ra, which was first announced in whispers, then from the pulpit of the Catholic church, and finally more formally by printed invitations, to take place at the residence of County Register C.

H. McKinnis, Inglcside, Wednesday evening. Society has at last been gratified. The residence of Mr. McKinnis was elegantly arranged for the occasion, and with flowers, works of art, rich upholstery and a vast congre- gation of the elite of tho city, presented a scene seldom beheld in the Hills.

It would be impossible to enumerate, much moro to name all of the many who were present, or to describe tho many elegant toilets worn by the ladies. Suffice it that grandeur characterized everything, and is but poorly indicated by the word. THE CEUEMOXY took place in the parlor at 8 o'clock, Rev. Father Gleason officiating. The bride was attired in a dregs-of-wine colored silk, elaborately trimmed, while the groom appeared dressed in a full suit of black.

The services were quite lengthy, after which tho happy couple received tho of their many friends, and soon thereafter the party proceeded to tho supper room whero an elegantly-arranged table, and ono that uttered volumes complimentary to Mrs. McKinnis, the hostess of tho evening, greeted them. The bride's cake was apportioned, the i)cnUh ()f the bl.il!o m)(1 groom liro. posed, to which ono and all. heartily drank, numerous sentiments given, and finally, Judges Kingsley and Caulficld alternated with recitations and addresses, greatly to tho entertainment of tho company.

Thus festivities continued until a late hour, when the party dispersed. THE MKSENTS were numerous anil costly, and, arranged in the handsomely-decorated parlor bay-window, formed a picturo of exquisite beauty. Tho list is as follows: From the groom, elegant gold watch and chain. From W. H.

Bull, massive solid silver tea set, five pieces. From Bews Casey, elaborate solid silver toilet set. From P. F. Moran, Central, silver cake basket.

From J. F. Tracy, set of solid Biker tea spoons, in handsome satin lined case. Prom Mr. and Mrs, Stilhvell, solid silver mug.

From Judge Barney Caulfield, silver berry spoon. From Mr. and Mrs, J. McAlecr, solid silver butter knife, in satin lined case. From W.

H. O'Reilley, silver water pitcher. From Mr. and Mrs. J.

Cornell, bronze, 8-day mantel clock. From Mr. and Mrs. Ruben, silver syrup cup. From Johnnie Cornell, pair gold ear drops.

From Ben Baer and William Baird, solid silver water pitcher. From Daye Holzman, silver pickel castor. From Mr. and Mrs. Geary and Mi's.

Summers, pair of shell mantel ornaments, silver mounted. From Mr. and Mrs. James Allen, Central, silver card receiver. From Mr.

and Mrs. Shannon, Central, silver berry spoon in satin lined case, and silver pie knife. From M. J. Wertheimer, beautiful set of lace curtains, From Mr.

and Mm. John Masterson, white counterpane. From jr. ti. chose and wife, silver Cllrd receiver, and panel picture, ymm Wntt McCarthVi B.m,)W, cmitl, c.

Gray and W. W. Gidtlings, employees in tho register's office, silver castor and butter dish. From Mr. and Mrs.

J. R. Wilson, magnificent oil painting. From Mrs. P.

H. Farly, patch quilt. From MifS B('lle Central, sep'iyr tidy. From Miss Annie Rholeder, Mrs. Smith and Mrs.

Peck, standing work basket. From Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

McKinnis, large and handsome oil painting. Mr. and Mrs. -McKinnis fairly ex ceeded the bounds of generous hospi tality in the entertainment of the numerous guests, rendering everyone promptly at home, and regretful when the hour for parting finally arrived. Mr.

and Mrs. Carney intended starting upon an eastern tour Thursday but owing to tho crowded condition of the coach, the trip has been deferred a day or two, when they will proceed to St. Joe, the bride's former home, St, Louis, New York and Washington. They bear with them the best wishes of a very large circle of friends, among whom the Pioneer desires to be classed. At a late hour the fire boys, who had been celebrating in the South Dead wood bouse, secured the Beaman can non, and quietly proceeded to the vicinity of Mr.

McKinnis' residence where a salute was tired, hut unfortu nately with disastrous results, as many panes of glass in the houses of the neighborhood were badly shattered. An invita'ion from Mr. McKinnU to join the throng within was promptly accepted, and the laddies were royally greeted. Pleasant and absorbing as were the festivities, they were not sufficiently great to exclude all memory of absent friends, as attested by tho large portion of the bride's cake which at miduigl reached the Pioneer night force, and for which they desire hereby to return acknowledgements.

We understand that the American house will be rebuilt at once. Snow, sleet, bitter cold, and more or less darkness, is a huge blockade to incoming or outgoing stages. County Clerk McKinnis has received a new plat book. It is 2Jx3 feet, 100 pages, and cost an even $100. Mr.

Robinson saved much of the furniture of the American house, but in a badly damaged condition. By the authority of a well known attorney, chickens have to speak. One cost him $7.50 the other evening. Several loads of lumber passed up Main street yesterday to take position on the Dcadwood and Gayville toll road. Court convenes in Custer on Tuesday next, but it is not understood that there are any very important cases for adjudication.

Vollins' train arrived from Pierre yesterday with 80,000 pounds of freight, mostly consigned to Browning Wring rose, grocers. The approaching orthographical contest is likeiy to develop as many incipient Noah Websters as tho late campaign did Daniel W's. When tho night riders begin to appropriate the sheriff's horses, it may be as well fur lesser people to more closely guard their own stock. Jewctt Dickinson have commenced receiving freight at Sidney, and the first installment will arrive early next week. It mostly consists of machinery for the Esmeralda mill, on Blacktail gulch.

It was Dr. Kelly and not Dr. Rogers, who attended Mr. Story of the South Deadwood hose. We inadvertently made tho mistake, and gladly make the correction in justice to an efficient and ever-willing physician.

The snow is much thicker than the crop of toboggins. Anent the latter have not enough male and female lovers of that seductive mode of locomotion to gratify the organization here of a "Toboggin," or coasting club. A large amount of hay is being hauled to this city from tho various ranches hereabouts, the price averaging $20 per tetn. Tho price paid at Custer varies from $12 to $15, according to class of hay and necessities of purchasers. We are indebted to Fred Trachea for a specimen from the Senator Jones mine, Rico, Colorado, about which so much has been said by the Colorado press.

It closely resembles Bear Butte ore, but assays only $12 per ton. A colony of American farmers, backed by experience and means, have recently located farms embracing 040 acres, ntar Buffalo Gap, and are fencing the entire amount. In the early spring the plow and harrow will appear. Mr. George Boland, of Buffalo Gap, will enclose about four acres of ground on his land with a neat board fence, and has already begun the digging of a ditch to be one mile in length, through which to bring water for irrigating the land enclosed.

Brash City, midway between Dead-wood and Crook City, is enjoying a season of progress. New buildings are being reared, and from a hasty glance at the enibryotic town we may look for incorporation in that direction some months hence. A match factory is one of the latest industries to be established in this city. It is located on Sherman street, and has already turned out considerable stock of good quality. The bulk of machinery has not arrived, but is daily expected from Chicago.

Although various portions of the city offer unusual facilities for the use of Biblical names and forms of speech, we fear the snow will go without any alarming advancement of the cause of the Redeemer, or notable accession to the numerous churches. There are at present twenty-nine school districts in tho county, which number will be increased to thirty by the establishment of one at Mountain Meadow next Monday. Number of scholars now on the roll, average daily attendance, 1,600. The railroad now being so vigorously pushed up the Niobrara valley, has so far advanced as to attract the attention of stage companies, and it is not im probable that another line of Btages will soon bo plying from the terminus, near Miles city, to Buffalo Gap. The delay in tho arrival of stages from various points is variously accounted for, and all satisfactory except ing to those most interested.

It is, of course, as impossible for stage companies to manipulate the weather as for an average reporter to conceive deception, and for the present we let the matter rest, with the entire blame rest ing on broader than human shoulders, ot a The name of Xye's hall hits been changed to Nye's opera house. The grand opening next Wednesday evening promises to be a grand and auspicious affair. A letter was received by Mana ger Rogers from Jim Gilbert, yesterday, saying that the Lords were excellent in their specialties. Jim and Belle are anxious to secure an engagement with Mr. Rogers, and will doubtless appear later in the season.

Complaints roach us of the presence in some of tho lower towns of that refuse bird tho lot jumper. They are reported as being unusually busy, as well as exceedingly tireless and bold, 'file impudence of the lightning-rod man, the book agent and tho patent churn chap is being discounted and coppered by these petty maggots ho breed and infest every community until they are fired out by tho better class citizens. The Knights of Tythias gave another select hop last night in the Evans court house hall, some forty couples partici pating. Like all preceding parties given by this order, this was exceptionally pleasant and fully enjoyed until a late hour. Our friend Roberts, next the Pioneer ollicc, furnished the eolation, which was keenly enjoyed by the merry revellers, as also by a Knight or two of tho quill.

Tho music was ex cellent, as it always is. Tho first quarterly meeting of the Methodist Episcopal church at Dead-wood for tho conference year of 1SS0-1881, will be held Kalurdsiv and Sun day, the 13th and Hth instants. This evening the society is invited to assem ble to elect the committees and board for the coining year. This is a most important meeting. It is to ho hoped none will be absent.

Tho Sabbath services incident to quarterly meeting oc casions will bo duly announced. When, oh, when, will the great and good powers that be, intimate, allude, refer, or even suggest to tho sorely needy census takers the time when their pay for services rendered may be expected? All those tine haired youths down east long ago secured their divy, but nary a voucher, check, nay, even a bit of a word comes greeting to tho frontier chaps who did and dared. The least Congress can do in the matter will be to make some provisions for placing the names of the widows and orphans of deceased census takers on the pension rolls. As for the enumerators themselves, they can fall into a prospect hole and get covered up by a blind mule, but it would bo so cheerio' like to know that tho household gods would receive protection. Hunters in tho lower Hills complain that there is too much fencing around and about for their pleasure.

Whilo chasing the beastly coyote, and taking short cut on the blue-tailed fox, they are cut shqrt by some fresh picket fence or barbed wire contrivance and their game is not bagged. This, too, in haunts remote from busy corners, and where one year ago the snort of the deer was heard, now sounds the dinner whistle attached to the busy stamp mill. We sympathize with those sporting gentlemen, hut the advance of agricultural interests, now so prominent a feature in the Black Hills country, must take precedence, and the Pioxker hails with pleasure tho coming of long lines of fences in numerous and fertile valleys so bountifully sprinkled throughout Lawrence, Custer and Pennington counties. The Pioneer, aside from having tho most complete job department in the city, the best presses, the newest type and the only ruling machine for blank work in the Hills, has made another costly outlay. For the past three days workmen have been engaged in putting up one of Backus' powerful motive wheels and laying tho connecting pipes between the water main on Sherman street and tho wheel, which is in the fire-proof building connected with the Pioneer ollicc.

Its purchase has been made obligatory owing to the largo and constantly increasing demand made upon the presses, both paper and job. It is a wonderful piece of mechanism, and when steam is let on and it is feeling all right, will doubtless be able to read with one hand while spinning ofi' its latest edition with the other. And thus does the Pioneer keep pace with its increasing patronage. Time works changes with detectives almost equal to tho startling pictures produced by the detectives themselves. Pioneer readers will readily recall the Doc.

Middlelon campaign in which Llewellyn, Hazen and others participated; the heroism of the attack on the determined night rider, tho hurtling bullets, savage wounds, capture and flood of newsp'oper notoriety secured the detectives. And now drives along the Omaha Bee's go-cart and tells us things we wot not of, and in language thusly: It is told us by a responsible citizen of Sarpy county, that Detective Hazen, who figured so conspicuously tno battle on the Niobrara, ith Doc. Mid-dleton's gang, is being hunted in the brush about Pappillion by the authori-t'es for passing counterfeit money and horse stealing. Our informant says Hazen was arrested on Monday and confined in the hotel at Pappio until Tuesday night when he made an excuse to go out and escaped. It is said that the sheriff of Dodge county is after him too.

The whole thing may be a ruse of Hazen's to enable him to carry out some of his own work and capturo a gang himself." couple live long and prosper..
