Dry Tramp.

On Monday night after the ball given in
honor of the city officials had been dismissed,
about twenty-five gentlemen, including some
members of the band, repaired to the resi-
dence of the retiring Mayor, Mr.. Henry
Jacobs, and spent a few hours in social enjoy
ment. Previous to the arrival of the party
the Mayor had ordered aSten-gallon key of
Buck beer, which was left at the front gate
pending his return. Arriving at the house
the horror and CONSERVATION Of the party can
be but family imagined when it was discov-
cred that the beer was gone! Some dry and
enterprislng rounder, it seems, with unerring
scent had come across the key and seeing a
glorious opportunity to test his capacity as a
beer reservoir, quietly rolled it down the hill,
and rendered it necessary for Mr.. Jacobs to
make another purchase.

Delegates 10 Chicago.

The Territorial Republican convention in
session at Helena last week, elected Captain
r. E. Fisk, editor of the Herald, and Judge
ii. N. Blake, as delegates to the National
Republican convention, to meet at Chicago OH
the Sd, prox. The success of the Blaine men
was very largely due to the Herald, whose
editor has fairly earned the honor of represent
ing in the National convention the Republic
cans of Montrna. Through an oversight we
omitted at the proper time to give the anne
of the gentlemen selected as delegates. In
publishing them to- day, if not too late, we
will go a step further towards making the
anaende honorable, by congratulating Captain
Fisk on the honor conferred upon him by
the party whose principles find il his journal
so constant and able a supporter.

Butte last night from the station. a distance
of eleven miles.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Moscrip who has
charge of the Utah & Northern surveying
party that the next winter terminus of the
railroad will be at Wunderlich's. A sufficient
amount OF rails has been ordered to extend
the track to that point. The Pipestone loute
has been pronounced impracticable.
An important change is soon to be made IN
connection with the stage line. Heretofore
the Butte stage had its terminus at Lovell's,
at which point the Overland took on its pas
sengers and baggage. Within a few days,
however, a new order will 60 into effect, Civ
ing this city a line separate and independent
from the other, which will certainly be a great
convenience to the travelling public, as here
tofore the coaches up to Lovell's have been
greatly overloaded.

tary. The object of the meeting was stated
by the chairman to be organize a quartz min
ing district, the naming of said district, and
to define the amount to allowed as a days
wages in representing claims.
The following are tie boundary lines

SQUARE LOCATION LA w.
Has the Popular Movement to Oppose it
FizzleO?

Some weeks ago, it will be remembered, a
meeting of prominent mining operators was
called at the office of Il. II. Baker to give
expression to their views on the bill of the
Public Land Commission now pending
in Congress. Mr.. G Il. Meader, of the
Montana Copper Company, j. X. Clark, Of
W. A. Clark Il Co., r. S. Jones, of the Silver
II. {. Kessler and others were present and
made brief addresses, showing the many evil
effects which inevitably would follow the
passage of a bill in accordance with the COM
missioners' recommendations. 1t was demon
strated that in the event of the enactment of
the proposed law litigation would increase
ten-fold, that only in rare instances would
deep mining be practicable and that a blow
would be given to the great mineral Interest
of the West from which it woul never re-
cover. The recommendations were exhaust
lively discussed in all their bearings and the
conclusion a1ived at was that he Land COM
missiontrs' suggestions are Il tissue OF absurd
i1irs Which, if given legal force, would Stag
nate and destroy the very interest to subserve
which they were submitted, and that miners
Throughout the Western States and Territories
are in duty bound to enter a loud and visor-
Gus protest against the proposed law. 1t was
therefore decided by 4 unanimous vote of
those present that a petition hould be drawn
up setting forth the ideas entertained in this
Territory on til" matter at issue, and thai a
number of copir, should be printed and sent
to every mining camp in Montana for sigma
lures. y committee was appointed to wait
upon 5. De Wolfe, ESQ, to secure his services
IN drawing up the necessary paper and the
day after the meeting the paper was prepared.
There the matter ended, and up to the
present time no one has has taken sufficient
interest in the matter to carry out the instruc-
tons of the meeting. This neglect is much
TO be deplored, as the subject is one of vital
interest to the people of the camp. it is only
by protests sent to Congress from every i'm
portant mining camp on the coast, that tie
bill now pending can he killed or slorn of
its Objectionable features, and it is sincerely
to be hoped that Butte and Montana will not
longer hesitate to indicate very emplaticalIy

PAT GREY EsCAPEs.
The Glendale Murderer Tai. u.u

From Mr.. u. W. Stapleton, who arrived

shooting occurred Grey was bailed IN the sum
OF $1,000, but his sureties fearing that as the
time approached for the trial he might con-
clude to absent himself from the court.
applied to be released from the bond, and he
was accordingly remanded to the custody of
the sheriff. .'.
OFFICER, it seems, at the time GREY was
delivered up by his bondsmen, was taken
suddenly i'll and for that reason confided the
prisoner to the care of some man whom he
deputized to conduct him to Jail with a strict
Injunction to be watchful of his charge.
While on his way TO the place of confinement
Grey asked the favor of being allowed to say
farewell to a number of his friends and he
was permitted to enter several houses for that
ostensible purpose. AS he each time prompt
ly returned to the officer, according to agree
lnent, the latter, it is said, became somewhat
lax in his vigilance. When Grey entered the
last house "to see a friend" it was already
quite dark, but the officer patiently waited
outside, not seeming to realize the fact that
there were two sides to the house and a back
door. The prisoners continued absence,
however, finally induced tue officer to enter
the building for the purpose of hurrying up
Mr.. Grey's departure. In this however, he
was anticipated, as Mr.. Grey himself had
hurried up his departure, having taken a very
dishonorable advantage and Skipped for some
region where he could enjoy those inalienable
rights guaranteed by the Constitution, viz
life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. A
chase was at once instituted, but when the
| coach left Glendale yesterday morning n,
tidings had been received of the whereabouts
of Mr.. P. Grey.

Car Full Of Passengers Demolished.

Late Thursday night, as car 115 Union
line, containing number of passengers,
was crossing the track of the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore II. II.
at Twenty-third street and Washington
avenue, II was struck by locomotive
and thrown on top of fiat car. One
end of the car caught In some portion of
the engine and was pulled along until it
again reached the ground, where IL was
dragged considerable distance, reduc-
ing 1t almost to kindllng wood. The
driver, Alex. Long, living at 1909
Clarion street, had one arm broken, his
right leg hurt, and sustained internal
injuries, from which he is not expected
to recover. He was removed to his
home. Elizabeth Lane, twenty-three
years of age, living at 2442 Ellsworth
street, had the fingers of her left hand
cut off, and was taken to the Pennsyl-
vania Hospital. Eva Merrick, forty
five years of age, 23ll Federal street, was
considerably bruised about the body.
Annie Grassman, sixty years of age, a
resident of Brooklyn, received severe
internal injuries; Mary Dracey, Of 2l1l

Thirteenth street, Ella Carr, ten years
old, of 10 Chelten avenue, Germantown,
Bridget Kelley, Ellsworth street, near

The Fruit Market.

There is much anxiety just now
among fruit men in regard to the "keep-
ing'' qualities of the winter varieties,
which form 80 large share of the crop
everywhere. The prolonged drought, SO
prevalent throughout the fruit region
this season, has induced all varieties to
ripen from two to three weeks in ad-
vance of the regular season. A large
portion of the fall crop has already glut-
ted the market, bringing the price in
many cases to so and even % cents per
barrel for good fruit. Winter sorts are
already dropping badly, and are so near
ly mature that it will be necessary to
pick many of them nearly month ear
lier than has been the custom. Then
unless cold weather also comes prema-
turely, very much of the winters sup
ply must necessarily decay before the
season arrives at all. Thus it will be
seen that in spite of the abundant crop
good sound winter apples may yet COM
mand high prices late in the season.
Great care in gathering, handling, and
cool housing, will therefore be of the ut
most Importance.

IT APPEARS that the national census
will reach nearly or quite 50,00O,0O0 of
inhabitants; that is If we accept the
returns from the southern States as cor
rect, of which there is some doubt. AT
this rate the total increase of population
in the last decade is little over eleven
millions. This is not quite up to the
mark of the expectations of our people,
and shows very clearly that the country
suffered quite as much from the six
years of terrible commercial revulsion as
she did In the preceding decade from
the four years of civil war. This is not
surprising in view of the paralysis of
internal progress, foreign and domestic
emigration and the long.
disastrous stagnation. If the present
prosperity shall be uninterrupted for
the coming ten years, our aggregate
of population in 1890 might possibly
reach $4,000, 900.

Gambling for a Life.

There was not much doubt in the
minds of the mob at Clinton, Dakota,
that Ben Day ought to be hanged. He
had committed the capital crime of steal
ing horse; but he urged perslstently
that he had only meant to borrow the
beast, and finally said, "If was guilty
I'd want to be hanged; and anyhow,
'tisn't worth while to make much fuss
about 1t. Just toss up dime, and If II
goes aein me, then won't say word {,
but If win you're to let me 60" The
proposition was accepted, and Day won.
