ally OF recent years built under
another name than his own, and
thus been able to shirk the RESPONSE

-Four years ago he went through
bankruptcy, but has since done plen-
ty of business under another name.
Frank says he spoke to B lddensick
a couple of times about the quality
Of the mortar used, and the builder
replied, 'twould be all right. It is
said that the building examiner made
a protest against the method of rails

and was soon removed to another
district. Inspector D'Oench
made a hasty examination
of the other buildings near by, being
erected by Buddensick and remarked
that he thought he would order ex-
tensive alterations in them. There
were many narrow escapes. Andrew
Love and John Gainor were paint

fell into the cellar and Gsinor on the

night it was thought that four
persons-two stair builders and two
plumbers-were still in the ruins.

RUSSIA N ENGLAND
War now seems Inevitable, Explana-
tions being deemed very
Unsatisfactory.
Russian and English Masses both
anxious for the Conflict Both
Preparing.

Earl Granville, after the Cabinet
meeting, yesterday, sent a long tele-
gram to the British Minister at st.
Petersburg. The English Govern
ment has received official dispatches
fully confirming the report Of the
Russian advance in force. 1t is
believed that no diplomatic alliance
can now rescue DeGiers and the Car
from their fighting generals. The
press of England, without regard to
political opinion, attack the tone and
question the accuracy of Gen. Koma-
rolf s statement, which they credit to
the Russian Minister of War. The
Gar still processes q desire for peace,
yet is marching $4,000 men toward
the Afghan frontier. The Emperor
William, of Germany, yesterday
gave audience to Prince D%olgorouki,
the personal military representative
of the Gar.
A dispatch dated at st. Petersburg
at o'clock this morning reported
that the Afghans had made an at
tack on the Russian outposts.

POLICE COURT.
A Miner Rolled Pusilistie "Demi
Mend" on the Rampage.

Monday afternoon Judge Will
c0x's court room swarmed with a
bevy of beauties. of the demi monde
order, who had been summoned there
to answer the charges of assault and
battery and indecent language. Two
charges of assault and battery were
fled against a Miss Carrie Schultz,
by two other ladies of easy virtue,
named Sadie Lee and Eunice Dodge.
The woman named Carrie Schultz is
an inmate of a Wyoming street bag
MO owned by Mollle Dermeski, aud
a sort of feud seems to exist between
this house and the one owned by
Sadie Lee, a Park street dive. Satur-
day evening Carrie Schultz, in pass
ing the virtueless den of Sadie, claims
to have been shocked by vile epithets
thrown at her by its inmates, where
upon she straightway proceeded to
"clean 'em Out,". which she cer
fully did with an exhibition of female
feroci;y that was astonishing. Being
worsted in the conflict and consider
ably "dOne up" Sadie Lee and
Eunice Dodge swore out complaints
against Carrie Schultz, which was
the cause of the action against her.
The latter, not to be outdone, imme.
diately filed complaints against the
others for indecent and abusive Ian
guage.
James Mcguire was brought up be-
fore Judge Wilcox yesterday, charged
with grand larceny, for relieving an
inebriated miner of u check for $500
| aud $3.50 in cash. The miner, whose
name Is Michael O'Too!e. was enjoy
ing himself hugely Saturday night
by opening wine, and "setting 'e1n
up" generally at different places,
and becoming too drunk to navigate
was generously relieved Of his check
and money by some unknown
person. Monday morning a man
named Mcguire presented the miss
ing check at the FIRST National Bank,
whereupon be was promptly arrested
and locked up. Owing to the fact
that O'Toole was still under the
effects of his "tear," the case was con-
tinued.
The cases of Carrie Shultz, Eunice
Dodge and Sadie Lee came up before
Judge Wilcox yesterday and the
facts elicted at the trial were sub
stantially the same as those published
yesterday. The cases were continued
during thu afternoon to 7 o'clock in
the evening and after a tedious trial
continued again to-day. One of
these denizens of Park street plead
guilty and will probably be sentenced
to-day.
James Magyar who tried to cash al
unindorsed check on the National
Bank in favor Of Michael O'Toole
Was bound over in the sum Of $500
and in default was sent to Jail.

komarOfrs Statement Weakened.

LONDON, April 12.-The effect of
General Komarof's detailed state
ment, which showed the Afghans
provoked the recent battle, has been
weakened by reports received by way
Of Austrian telegraph stations On the
Russian frontier that Penjedeh was
occupied by Colonel Alikanoff on
the q instant. General Komarotf
states he was obliged to occupy Pen
jedeh in order to stop the pillaging of
the district by the Tnrcomans and
Afghans, and because they had
threatened to resume offensive Oper-
ations. The Russian Minister of
War has sent a congratulatory mes
cage to General Komaroff, and has
directed him to thank the troops in
the name of the Gar and announce
to them that all who took part in the
battle will be rewarded according to
their rank.

tons preparations for war continue

FURTHER EXPLANATIONS.
LoNDoN, april 13.-Gladstone also
states il Commons. that Gen. Komar-
offs report Of the recent battle be-
tween the Russians and the Afghans
had been t~elegrapbed to Sir Peter
Lumsden, but no reply has as yet
been received from the British Com
missioner. Russia had, the Premier
admitted, failed to answe the mate
rial parts of England's commune
cation sent on the day of the receipt
of the news Of the battle. Mr.. Ellis
Ashmead Bartlett, Conservative, ask
ed if the Government had been i'll
formed that the Russians had adj
vanced to Marghab river? Gladstone
replied that the Government hal not
received any information Of the ex-
act character OF that mentioned by
Mr.. Bartlett. The Government were
aware, however, that the rumor ex-
listed to the effect that the Russians
had made such an advance. In re-
spouse to other inquiries Mr.. Glad
stone said that he expected soon to
receive further communications
about Gen. komaroff's action from
De Giers, the Russian Foreign Min
lister.
LONDON, April 13.-Earl Salisbury,
the leader of the Conservative Peers
in the House of Lords, this evening
asked the Government if they had
learned of a report that there was
another engagement between the
Russians and the Afglans on the
Afghan frontier, yesterday, and if
the Government knew whether the
report was true or not. Earl Gran
vile, Foreign Minister, answered for
the Government that they had
nothing to add to the official state
ment made by Mr.. Gladstone in the
House Of Commons.

CONNUBIAL BLISS.
Mr.. Samuel Bishop and Miss Amelia
Argall United.

very large number of guests congre-
gated at the hospitable home of MI.

tune mine, to witness a happy trans
formation. Mr.. Samuel Bishop and
Miss Amelia J. Argall, daughter of
MI. and Mrs. Samuel Argall, passed
from death into life through the
medium of marriage. The ceremo-
MES were very solemn and impressive
and exquisitely performed by Rev.
J. B. Whitfo:d. Brilliant socialities
and Inequalities were kindled, new
and pleasant connections created,
delightful associations formed, the
room sounded and resounded with
the deep and majestic cadences of
friendship, and everything looked
serene and golden under the magic
touch of the cOnnubial sui. The
vow of love bent it's graceful arch,
and a more mirthful, magnanimous
and generous group of friends never
met together. A sumptuous repast
was furnished in which all partici-
patel with excellent grace. And
after the presentation of a number of
valuable gifts, short. terse epigram-
matte speeches were delivered full of
hum0ur, and sparkling with wit like
mountain streams, and various songs
and melodies rent the social sky.
The bride is we'll known IN this city.
The serene and sunny grace, the
marvellous fexibility and music of
her voice, her graceful actions, her
onfv1ro1 1icn10u nf rion1ohi~ nr1
her fertile mind will make her a
luminous star ia the armament Of
society. May the orange blossoms of
this marriage feast never lose their
fragrance, but be as pure and
fadeless as the unwithering anna
Ianth. May the life of this happy
couple be q glorious unit, a grand
symmetric whole, and their home be
as full of peace and love as the rose
is of color and the sandle-WOOd of
perfume.
The following are some Of the gifts

SUPPOSED ABDUCTION.
Miss Katie O'Brien'S Sudden Disap-
pearanee from Home On.
accounted for.
A Fathers Diligent Search Through.
cut the City Fails to Reveal
her Whereabouts.

On last Saturday morning the
people of this vicinity were startled
by a rumor circulated that another
Butte girl, with her head full of
romantic visions and probabilities,
gay and frivolous, had succumbed to
the bait Of a handsome, stylish young
man with a long brown moustache
and a plethoric pocketbook and
skipped to parts unknown. This
news coming to the ears of a MINER
reporter, he at once began a search
for the facts in the case. believing
that there might be something anus
ing. instructive and suggestive in the
case. After & diligent search moth
ing was revealed except the fact that
the young lady had suddenly dis
appeared, and it was thought that
she was, in all probability, tempo
rarily stopping with some of her
friends.
Saturday evening, an irate father,
in the person of Mr.. John O'Brien,
was seen lowering about the skating
Kinks and making inquiries about
his daughter, Katie. He was allowed
permission to look about and see if
he could find her, but no Katie was
found, and s oaequent rumOrs were
soon afloat that she had skipped with
a barber named Brown. A visit TO
the shop Ct that gentleman, on Park
street, found Brown still busily at
work with razor and brush, and this
rumor alike to the rest was discarded
as having no ring of sincerity or
was learned that Mr.. O'Brien had
been to see Judge i%ippincott with a
view of arresting Brown for abduct-
ing his daughter. The barber was
again sought out and questioned in
regard to his knowledge of Katie's
whereabouts, but he strenuously de-
MED knowing anything about her,
stating, however, in the course of his
remarks, that he had formed the &C.
qnaintance Of the girl recently at the
rink, and saw her last on Thursday
evening ; that she had sent for
him, and that she wanted some
money with which to leave home.
She was tired of staying there and
meant to ,un away. Mr.. Brown as
serts that he p,intedly refused 10
give her any money aud advised her
to return to her parental donnie le,
and has not seen her since. To
the query as to her abduction he
thought it very singular that a girl
Of over Is years OF age could tie alb
Quoted. Mr.. Brown claims that he
has worked in Butte for W eight
years and his reputation and honor
were never before attacked, and he
does not e why people should give
credance to the reports circulated
about his connection with the disap-
pearance of Katie O'Brien. MI.
it is asserted, is confident
that the barber knows more OF her
whereabouts than he is willing to
tell. Katie is still non est and her
parents having no knowledge of her
whereabouts since last Friday are
quite confident that she has been
spirited away from them. The gen.
eral opinion is that, becoming tired
of living under the restraint of the
parental roof, she has taken French
