D1XEY DEFENDS HIS DROLLiTIES.
Trial by Violin of the Disputed Owner.
ship of ''Quite English"

BOSTON, Mass, June 1.-THE musical
scraping OF a violin was heard in one OF
the rooms OF the dingy old Court House to.
day, and the jiggy melody OF a popular
song set Judge, lawyers and spectators to
beating time with heel and toe. "Adonisu
Dlxey had come from New York to defend
his right to the song, cts English, You
hnow,' from infringement by an actor at
the Boston Theater, and a crowd of specu-
latlve Bostonians had gathered in the
courtroom, hoping to hear a free rendition
OF the song. Harry Mills, the actor, whose
singing of a similar song at the Boston
Iheater Mr.. Dixey thinks is doing him ir-
reParable injury, was also present.
howard y. Rice composed the music.
n. :. hewitt wrote the words, and the song
was sold to Mr.. Dixey. The published song
"Qu1te English" is an infringement which
mas been enjoined. Mr.. Dixey's song is un-
published. ""'

Is the greatest success in the piece, said
Mr.. Dlxey under oath. II have escaped

percentage OF the receipts at the theater.
The value OF this song is 81, 900 or ST 900

play were about $4,000 a week, but the in.

up TO $4,000 Or 5 $4,000 a week"
Mr.. George Purdy then turned up his Gre
mona violin, rested the manuscript of the
SONG against an old directory and deftly
played the melody OF both the versions OF
me song. He also played "When the Band

song IN New York, and thought it had no
resemblance to Mr.. Dixey's.

Many Persons.

PARIS, June 11.-At Theirs, a town in the
department OF Puy de Dome,a murder trial
has been in progress for some days. Yes
terday was the last day OF the trial, and
the Court House was crowded with men
and women anxious to witness the closing
scenes: When the people were leaving, i'm
mediately after the adjournment OF the
court and were damned upon the stone
stairway leading to the street, the staircase
fell. The scene which followed was appall-
ing. Immense masses OF masonry from
above crashed upon the struggling people
below, grinding through their flesh and bones,

IN a most horrible manner. The fall of the
staircase and the screams OF the people lying
helpless in the ruins, caused a panic in the
court room and there vas a rus for the
now wrecked exit. Those who were in front
were unable to withstand the pressure from
behind and were hurled down upon the men
and women crushed in the fall of the stair

were already striving to rescue. When at
length the panic was exhausted and the i'm

been removed, twenty persons were

these fourteen are very seriously injured

Record Of a Very Rainy Season
In the Camp.
DISAGREE
The Latest Scheme to Rob the Un-
wary as Practiced by Sharps
In Walkerville.

The gOod-natured and unsuspecting bar
keeper at the "Bee Hive saloon at Walker
yills is the latest victim OF the confidence
men, and the manner OF his taking in is one
Of the latest schemes OF the swindlers.
Some time ago a mar about the village
who gave his name as HALEY made the &C
ou~aintance Of the ~barkeeper, and dropped
in and out, taking a drink when he felt like
it and paying for it when it suited his con
venience. Yesterday Haley e.,tercd the
saloon in company with a couple Il f;"nds
and called for the drinks, for the p:y@:ait
OF which he laid down a %half,dollaI 7. 80.
After a glance at the coin the barkeeper
threw it back, declaring it was counterfeit.
Haley denied the charge, and a $50 bet
was the result. When it came to a show
down it was ascertained that the coin had
been cleyerly covered with tin foil in such
an expert manner as to give it the appear
ance Of lead, and after the bet had been
mads this was scraped Off and the genuine
character OF the piece developed. The bar.
keeper gave up his $50, but in future will
neither entertain strangers nor make bets

Mining Notes.

The following letter which appeared in
the last issue OF the New York Eneineerinp
and Mining Journal, will probably interest
some OF our experts:
SIR: Your special correspondent from
Butte City sent to you on the late of Nav
l4th, 1885, an article in which it is said
that 1.-The Manhes process seems not to he
coke being too high" This is a double
error. Tn price of coke has nothing to do
with the treatment OF matte in the Manhes
converters, where the cOmbustable is fur
nlshed by the sulphur and iron that the
matte contains. The results obtained dr.
ing the f1rst month OF work have proved
that the Manhes process presents, not only
a scientific interest, as several metallurS-
lists have stated, but also from the practi.
teal point OF view it leaves nothing to be
desired, either in production or quality of
copper, which rivals the best copper in the
markets OF the United States. To-day
the Parrot Company. while awaiting to
have a plant appropriate to the cOmnlete
treatment OF the matte by the conyerters
has started up its twelve calcine and six
reverbatory furnaces, which produce lust
the necessary quantity of matte for one
converter. This is a great and legitimate
success, which puts an endto all discussion.
hope that you will be kind enough to in,
sert this letter in your next issue. / am sir.

WICKES WHISPERINGS.
News Gatherings from the Terminus
of the Helena Branch.
of THE MINER.

Correspondence of The MINER.
WICKEs, Mont, June 9.-The business
interests OF Wickes are coming prominently
forward.
H. D. Hauser & Co., the most prominent
business firm OF this city, are doing an i'm
mense business in their line Of general mer-
chandise.
Potter Brothers, a new firm recently es-
tablished in business, are corraling al I'M
mense amount of the public patronage.
The gambling fraternity OF Wickes is not
as well represented as in Butte or Helena.
The men, however, who represent the green
cloth are gentlenanly in their proclivities,
and we find among them no brace men.
DR.. Billiard has charge OF the hospital
wherein are o being treated John Wick
berg, who was caught in a cogwheel a short
time since, at the Helena Mining and Re-
duction Company's works, and who re-
ceived severe flesh abrasions from hip to
knee. The next patient met while visiting
the hospital was John NJ. Doyle, who on
the 21st of May last was run away with by
a violently dispositioned horse. Afterhav-
ing been thrown from the saddle, the picket
rope became ~entangled about his wrists,
and he was dragged 800 yards. He is 10Y
suffering with paralysis OF his upper and
lower limbs. William Corvalth now is lying
in the hospital. A falling rock in the Alta
mine on the 9th OF May last, struck him
the head making a bad scalp wound,
and so severely ~!njuring him as to compel
his being taken to the hospital.

THE ANACONDA ROBBERY.
Arrest of Two Well Known Characters
Accused of the Crime.

Monday night last James Curley a brick
makes OF Anaconda was set upon by high.
way robbers and despoiled OF $1,4OO which
he foolishly carried On his person. When
the affair became known it created consider
able excitement, and the officers at once
began a thorough search and examination
for the guilty parties. Yesterday they con-
cluded that they had got on the right clue
and the result was the arrest, on suspicion,
OF Dave Irwin and John Connors. The
prisoners were at once taken to Deer Lodge
on a special train where they will have a
preliminary trial to-day. The officers are
certain they have the right parties and the
people OF Anaconda, hope that they have.
The robbery was a bold one, and the per-
p~etrators if caught and convicted are sure
to get the full measure of punishment their
crime deserves.

KELLy,S APPOINTMENT.
How the Press Receives the NOmina'
ton of the New Marshal.
WORTHY OF CONFIDENCE

III ~
From the Helena Independent.
The appointment of R.. s. Kelly, Marshal
oil Montana, made yesterday in the place OF
Alex c. Botkin, removed, is a good appoint
ment. made we understand at the request
of our Delegate, the Hon. j. K. TOole MI.
Kelly is well known in Montana, an Old
Timer, who knows our people well and will
command their confidence and receive their
hearty support. This is a new departure,
and it will be a vast improvement to have
Montana governed by Montanians and
Democrats. Let the good work go on. All
the applicants for this place were good men
and true.
From the Helena Herald.
Those Democrats of Montana who are
after ofice-and this Territory furnishes a
Bob Kelly, of Deer Lodge, has got to be U.
S. Marshal, vice Hon. Alex. c.. Botkin, re-
moved. The close OF the long fight for this
appointment is announced to-day. This is
the first one off the anxious seat, and a
great sigh OF relief goes up from the West
Side Of the Territory. Between the Toole
and Maginnis factions, this is ii triumph Tor
Joe's side. The new Marshal, we are salts
fed, can't qualify any toe soon to suit the
present incumbent. 1t is important, in one
respect, that he should take Office as soon
as possible. The withheld $4,000 appro-
priation for the penitentiary should be got
mold OF and made available for the waiting
work on that over-crowdea institution.
Kelly is one OF the fiercest rebels who ever
fought with his mouth, but other things
considered he is perhaps the fittest selec-
ton for Marshal.

THE SMALL POX.
Several Cases of the Dread Disease
in the City.

A few days ago there was rather a mys-
ferrous death in a cabin IN East Galena
street, in the rear OF the Darn OF Warfield
IL Gwin, and the residents OF the locality
were somewhat alarmed when they learned
there were three other persons sick on the
same premises, with an unknown disease.
The health officer, DIR. Hough, was immedi-
ately notified OF the PECULIAR state of affairs,
and proceeded to make an inspection. Not
entirely satisfied with his WI opinion, he
called into requisition the services OF half a
dozen OF the other leading physicians. and
after diagnosing the case they decided that
the patients were suffering with an attack
OF varioloid. Prompt measures were at
once taken to quarantine the patients, and
as these are the only ones thus far known,
1T is safe to say there will be no spread OF
the foul disease. AS the story spread during
the day, there were a number of persons
who live in the vicinity who took the pre-
caution to have their families v%accinated.

New Mining Map.

Messrs. Baker & Harper, who are too
well known as expert mining and civil en-.
gineers to need any introduction to the
people of Butte and vicinity, have just
issued one OF the most complete maps ever
published in the United States. 1t is a map
of the mines and claims in the vicinity Of
Butte, and takes in a radius OF about eight
by five miles, and almost shows every
prospect hole in that territory. The map
has received the Endorsement of all the au-
thorities, is prepared in the best style, and
is handsomely mounted. 1t will prove a
most valuable index to all who desire any
knowledge OF the great camp.
