The reading room of the Y. III. c. A. was
opened last Tuesday evening in Good Temp
lars hall, west Broadway. The opening ex-
ercises were ola very pleasing and entertain
ing character comprising as they did address
es from Prof. Hassell and Mr.. Z. w. knight;
recitations by Mr.. Boardman and Mr.. Camp
bell, besides vocal and instrumental music in
terspersed with the other features of the eve
ning's entertainment The reading room is
now open every week Gay from / p. nj. to 10
p. m. On the tables are to be found nearly
all the Territorial papers as well as many of
the leading Eastern journals also periodical
literature of the highest class, embracing such
publications as Littell's Living Age, the Ec-
lectic, Atlantic, Scribner, Harper's Monthly,
etc. An addition will SOON be made Of a
large number of bound books of standard
literature, or treating onthe popular questions
Of the day. Besides this, the managers of the
association will endeavor to make arrange
ments with the trustees of the Butte City
library for the transfer Of its volumes to their
charge. If successful the reading room ofthe
Y. NJ. 9. A.. will present no inconsiderable
I attraction for those whose tastes lead them
to prefer the quiet and improving companion
ship of a good book. The reading room is
open to the public, free, the only restrictions
being those which prohibit the use of tobac-
co and forbid unseemly conduct Of any kind.
A certain degree OF silence was imposed but
this rule is already relaxed since the mana
gers wish to see the reading room honored
with visits from the ladies'.

This talented elocutionist and impersona-
tor may be expected in Butte about the latter
part of this week ON her return from Missou-
la; towards which place she journeyed on
leaving Helena. The Helena papers have
spoken in terms of unqualified praise in des-
cribing her readings and representations be-
fore the critical public of that town but to
prove that such praise was not eXtravagant or
undeserved we reproduce a couple of extracts
from Eeastern journals. The Chicago Times
says:
This lady has dramatic talents Of superior
order, and cannot fall to meet, wherever she
appears, with the same enthusiastic reception
she has received here. Fer dramatic effects
she is superior to Mrs. Scott Siddons.
This is fully up to the most generous need
of praise awarded by the Montana press but it
IS not a ' whit ahead of the New York Herald,
whose opinion is Oh record as follows -
To a fine stage presence, dramatic talent of
high order, and perfect self possession, evil
IDENTIFY the result of long and careful study,
she adds a rare beauty Of form, feature and
expression, whic, with her eloquent gestures
and finely modulated voice, with marvellous
powers Of infection, musical in its every ut
Xeiancc, makes her Il favorite with any audi
ence before whom she may appear.
The entertainment offered by Miss Monroe
appeals to the intelligent and cultivated for
support. We hope the patronage extended
at Butte will not mark our people as less APP
preciative than those of the neighboring
towns

In WalkerviIle the mines were again closed
and every one urged to one more effort. Fit
tie urging was needed. Between 100 and
200 men again poured out over the country
and hunted and searched until the whole
district was gridironed with tracks Of men or
Of horses until it looked as ifthere was not
lett a ten foot square piece Of ground over
which some one had not passed. Still no
sign, no trace of the missing child. Under
those circumstances it is not strange that many
are Of opinie n the child could not but have
been discovered had she been lost as siippos-
ed or that all sorts Of opinions concerning
abduction and the like should be c~urrents
What gives an air Of FEASIBILITY to such no.
tions Is the tender age of the Child, only four
years, and the fact that she was dressed in a
thin muslin dress and wore a wide sun bon
net. 1T is thought that in such a dress she
leaving shreds Of her tattered clothing hang
ing OH the brushwood.. 1t is likely, though.
that the child through fear at the approach of
darkness in the first night otit may have con-
cealed herself in some tlicket, or beneath
some fallen timber in a place from which ex-
haustion prevented her fion emerging on the
following day, and where she has since es-
capped the hundreds of keen eyes looking for
her. At all events ii the child was not foully
dealt with the troubles Of her little life have
long since ended. To the people of Walker
vile and Butte is left the comforting rec
election that while there was yet hope they
did their very best TO save her.

Police Court Items.

Felix Rouel brought before Justice Barrel
was fined $40 and costs, the whole ainounts
ing to $3.50, which he paid. Rouel then
laid complaint against D.. Cohen, Sr., and the
clerk in his store, A. MeKinnon, charging
them with assault. Defendants moved for .
change of venue to the Police Court, where
the case was dismissed.
in the Police Court the following cases
were disposed of:
City VS.. Fred Taylor. The defendant on
complaint of Mrs. Maria Friand was charged
with keeping a disorderly house, in allowing
improper songs to be sung OH his premises.
Plea of guilty entered. Fined $50 and costs.
City VS.. Mrs. Maria Friand. Using vulgar
and obscene language. Case dismissed.
City VS.. Simon Schroedel. Using insulting
and obscene language. Convicted and fined
$25 and costs. Sent to the lookup in de-
fault.
Territory VS.. Phil Porcher. Assault and
battery on Schroedel mentioned above. Mr..
Porcher was shown to have committed the
offence as charged, but to have done so under
outrageous provocations. His fine would
most likely have been nominal, had he not
seen proper to deliver his opinion in court, to
the effect that the officers were ga set of rob-
beers; - that they "had arrested him only to
rob him" etc. These compliments were duly
appreciated by his Honor, and as one good
turn deserves another, the pet names brought
a douceur from the Magistrate III the shape OF
$50 and costs. What an excellent thing is Q
low sweet voice in the Police Court prisoner.

LOCAL NEWS


From Mr.. Riddle, Division Superintendent,
We at length decided upon a step which
ght very well have been taken long ago,
d that is the transfer OF the main overland
be between Helena and the Terminus to the
ute passing through Butte City by way of
Q Boulder road. The necessary changes
nich are to be made this week involve oRly
wv stock stations and coaches for the
builder road, and the transfer to Butte CT
e home station until nov at SILVER Bow.
the new route the tip from Helena to the
krminus will b. shorter than by the old, as
road running through Butte will more
bsely approach an air line than the one
" followed. By reference to any good
ap it can be seen that the road from Pleas
t Valley Station to Helena, via Divide,
ute and the Boulder, is the shortest that
e topography of the country will admit of,
ID it can easily be made the best. The
Prk is in a bad condition just now, but so
e all other roads, and only a small sum is
Feded TO corduroy the Park for the entire
myth of the swampy ground. Contractors
IL be found in Butte who will undertake to
the work in good shape for $1,000. With
e corduroy constructed the Butte and Hell
IA direct road will be in good condition for
Favy freighting the year round. If the
hge company carry out the intention re-
Prted by Mr.. Riddle, and transfer their
ain passenger and express lire to the Butte
ute the funds required to turnpi6e ALA cor,
roy the Pag.k will some way or other be
divided. =
In the action of the stage men, who are
oroughly acquainted with every inch OF
Puntry trayersed by their different lines, the
rectors Of the Utah Northern may find q
Eluable hint as to the best paying route to
selected for their line.

More Shooting.

The particulars have reached Butte of the
probably fatal shooting Of Mr.. Thomas II.
O'Connor, an old and respected citizen of
Deer Lodge county, by J. J. Kennedy. The
tragedy occurred last Saturday at O'Connor's
mill on Grill creek, across the river from the
Perkins ranch, about midway between Deer
Lodge and New Chicago. The difficulty was
about money matters. Kennedy held a mort
gage over everything owned by O'Connor, in
security for money advanced. Last week he
visited Deer Lo,,ge and tried to bring about a
settlement under the mortgage, by foreclosure
or otherwise we are not advised as to the
details. Failing to make any arrangement
which he considered satisfactory Kennedy
returned to O'Connor's ranch and drove off
all stock belonging to the latter. He a
proceeded with the stock as far as the mill
when he met O'Connor also returning from
Deer Lodge. Being informed as to what was
going on the owner of the stock Immediately
directed the mill hands to drive the animals
back towards his pasture, and started out to
assist in SO doing. At this Kennedy opened
fire with his revolver, the first shot taking eff
icet lhc lelt Jay" anu passing clear Through
from one side of the face to the other. As
soon rs he felt himself struck O'Conrlor
Jumped from his horse and started to run, ex-
claiming as he did so " For Gods sake, Joe,
don't Eill me" but a second shot, a shot fred
by a CO ward at the back of a retreating enc
my, struck him between the shoulders ana
he fell probably MORALLY wounded. O'Con-t
nor, who was unarmed at the time, is a man
of at least sixty years of age, and is besides
blind of one eye. His a~ssailant is in the Wig
or OF his prime, being about 81 years Of age.
Kennedy was immediately arrested and held
until the effect of the shooting could be as
certained. But little hope was entertained
of the wounded mans recovery. Intelligence
of this affair has reached us too late for ex-
tended comment; but we ask our readers,
subject to jury duty, if they do not think the
crimes OF violence lately committed are but
the logical sequence Of crimes committed in
the jury box, when jurymen, sworn to do
their duty, allow a sickly sentimentality or
contemplate faintheartedness to interfere
with the proper administration of the law.
Let the law be vigorously enforced let
punishment be administered with a stern
hand to the man slayer and a stop will speed
lily be put to the shooting mania lately
raging.

The Speakcrship Settled.

The Speakership contest was decided last
night in favor of Mr.. Alvord, the republican
Assembly caucus having given him, on the
first ballot, ffty-two votes against forty
three cast for Mr.. Sloan. No other candi-
dates were in the field, and the result has
been foreshadowed for several DAYS
past. Mr. Sloan had many warm sup
porters, but, as was truthfully said early
in the canvass, the "better portion
of the party" was in his favor, and this is
just the element that seldom wins at AL
bany. Mr.. Alvord had on his side the
active, working republican politicians, the
influence of corporations, the friendship of
the advisory Legislators of the State capital,
and the power OF the machine. He could
not well fail to triumph over any single OPP
ponent. Mr.. Alvord has experience and
ability, and will no doubt retain his reputa-
ton as on efficient Speaker for the business of
the House and good one for his own party.
1t would have been more creditable and
more advantageous to the republicans to
have organized the Assembly differently,
but the strong vote cast for Mr.. Sloan -
within five of o majority of all the members
present-gives good hope that the legisla-
ton of the session will be carefully watched

The anniversary Of the Battle OF New
Orleans was celebrated last night by the
Tammany Society with feasting and dane
ing. The Tammany braves claim to be the
legitimate political descendants and dis
ciples of Old Hickory, the hero OF the great
victory, and it was as much to manifest
their devotion to the principles SO boldly
maintained by Andrew Jackson as
to do honor to the triumph of
forces sixty-four years ago that the
festivities at the Wigwam were held. The
celebration was an entire success. Bright
eyes shot out as dangerous fire last night
Us blazed from the muskets of the Kentucky
militia or the artillery of the American sea-
into engagements as perilous as any of
those fought so many years ago on the banks
Of the Mississippi. The big guns of the
democracy were on the field of aston, and
the Schells-exploded, but still dangerous
were not missing.
But pleasant as were the dancing and
merriment in the famous Hall, cloud hung
over some of the more thoughtful of the
Tammany chiefs. The recent injunction
was in their minds; the noise OF its sudden
explosion was still ringing in their
ears, and it was evident that they
were picturing the probability Of rival
tribes revealing in the Wigwam be-
fore another Jacksonian anniversary
shall have rolled round. They seemed to
recall the Duchess OF Richmond's famous
ball ut Brussels on the eve OF the Battle Of
Waterloo, and to hear, amid the music of
the band, the sullen booming Of distant
artillery and the whispering with white
lips, the foe-they come, they come y"
Napoleon Tilden is marching upon their
position and it is impossible to say, such
is the uncertainty Of law as well as Of war,
whether they will be as fortunate in the i'm
pending battle as jackson was at New Or
leans. Yet it must not be supposed that
the dread of the inevitable conflict FORE
Swallowed by Judge Barrett's injunction was
allowed to mar the festivities Of Tammany's
favorite anniversary. 1t is recorded that
Nero iddled gayly while Rome was burn
ing, and the Tammany braves appeared to
heartily enjoy the music and dancing last
night notwithstanding the threatening war
cloud that hangs over them, and the con-
Stunning fire which the avenging angel of
Gramercy Park threatens to rain on their
devoted heads.

THR WEATHER.-The depression moved rap
idly over the lake regions during yesterday and
now overiics the northern New England States
and the st. Lawrence Valley. The pressure fell
somewhat during the eastward movement Of
the disturbance, but is not yet very low. The
high barometer is following and now dom
mates the weather in all the districts west of
the Mississippi River, with the exception of the
western Gulf coast, where the pressure is low,
owing to the close proximity of depression
that is moving northcastward through the
central Gulf The barometer is high on
the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to
Georgia, the two high arcas--the one on tho
coast and the other in the NOTWITHSTANDING
still connected by narrow neck of high barom-
etcr. Snow has fallen in the lake regions aud
New England States, while heavy rains arc re-
ported In the Gulf the central valley districts
and the Middle Atlantic States. Clear weather
generally prevails west of the Mississippi River,
except over Texas, where it is cloudy. The
winds have been fresh to brisk in the lake
regions and the Middle Atlantic ind
New England coasts. Elsewhere they have
been fresh The temperature has fallen
in the Northwest and some sections
of the eastern Gulf In the other districts it
has risen decidedly. 1t will be seen by our
special weather cables, which are published in
another column that another prediction of the
HERALD Weather Bureau has been fully
verified The following is the forecast
sent to London on the 9TH inst.:-"A storm
centre is crossing the Atlantic, aud will
probably arrive with diminishing energy on the
British and Norwegian coasts between the 9TH
