HON Huy Kuy Buried Yesterday wit
Imposing Ceremonies.

Butte was treated yesterday to the nov
city of genuine Chinese funeral, the de-
ceased being in life known as HON Huy
Kuy. who did business on Lower Main
street, and who died Tuesday, after an
illness OF months duration. The obse-
quies were conducted with all the eclat due
to the position OF the departed, and were
participated in by nearly all the Chinese
residents, and witnessed by hundreds of
white people, who viewed with curiosity the
novel spectacle. The hour fixed for the
funeral was 2 o'clock, and by that time the
street in the vicinity of the dead mans
house was thronged with people and with
carriages and other vehicles. There did
not seem to be any special master OF cere-
monies, but at the appointed hour the pro-
cession was formed and moved off in order.
First came a band of music, then on foot
the son OF the deceased, and behind him
walked female mourner hired for the oc-
casion. The hearse followed, and it was
surrounded by fourteen pall-bearers, all
dressed in white, and then came long line
OF carriages filled with Cinnamon
An omnibus and express wagon brought
up the rear, the former occupied by
a band armed with Chinese instruments,
and the latter filled with the pig and other
accessories with which the departed is sup
pOSeu W NC leu OH His journey W uHe Celes-
tial land, and the surviving friends to feast
at the grave. Along the route small pieces
of paper, inscribed with Chinese characters,
were thrown from the vehicles by the occu-
pants, who laughed and chatted as though
they considered attendinga a funeral the best
fun in the world. At intervals the Chinese
band furnished, in discordant strains, what
is supposed to be funeral music and a qneer
noise it was. Arrived at the graveyard
the usual ceremonies incident to such oc-
casions were gone through with and after
the coffin had been lowered the grave was
well supplied with edibles and then filled
amid the groans and forced sobs of the
hired mourners. When the last rites had
been concluded the crowd separated, and
soon Chinatown resumed it's wonted lively
appearance and all signs OF mourning had
departed.

an the 10Th inst. 1t confirms tie recent
press dispatches: Il camped on the 18th
instant near HHsayas and was informed
that Indians had been seen on the same
day near Oputo. We discovered their trail
on the 22nd near there, leading to the
Bonispo mountains, northeast OF here.
ChOttO, with the scouts was left to over
take and capture the hostiles He found
them the next day about o'clock and at
tackled the hostiles, who fed. The pursuit
was slow, owing to the rough country.
Eight bucks, four boys and three women
escaped, Fifteen women and children were
captured, one Indian killed and several
wounded. Two captives were wounded,
and one White Mountain scout was shot
through the elbow. The camp attacked

HOLLOW MOCKERY.
Report that Mrs. Huyck is to Become
Mrs. Berry.

Since the recent suicide OF young Huyck
in this city on account of the elopement
oi his wife with Berry the runaway couple
have been keeping rather shady, most OF the
time having been spent at Gregson Springs,
where it is said by those who saw them,
that neither of them indulged in many out
ward manifesto tions OF grief at the tragic
result OF their escapade, but rather seemed
to glory in their shame by giving as far as
possible, tangible evidences of their fond
ness for each other. Of course this was not
carried to too great an extent, but the airs
OF love and the coy demeanOr which they
assumed was nauseating to those compelled
to witness it. Nothing had been heard from
them for several days. and it was believed
that they had departed for new scenes with
view OF relegating themselves to deserved
obscurity, when yerterday the pair ap-
peared in the village of Stuart, and virtu-
ally made known the object OF their visit
by inquiring for II clergyman or n aJustice OF
the Peace, the supposition being that they
proposed to be married. AS Stuart did not
contain eithe" t.: the officials they were in
search of, tn, ii stay was brief and the Ana
conda train was boarded and that city
reached in the afternoon. There was the
usual number OF persons at the depot on
the arrival of the train and their identity
at once became known and they were the
recipients OF many looks, in which curiosity
and disgust were mingled. With an effrontery
that was appalling they paid but little at
tention to the gaze OF honest people and
proceeded at once to the Grand Central
Hotel where they registered Noword was
received last night that they had been
married, but it is probable that they were,
and that union begun in hypocricy and
inti,lelity and cemented with blood has been
That this will avail to quiet
the stings OF conscience seems impossible,
yet the woman may think that it will
cleanse her soul from sin and the man that
it is IL full and complete reparation for the
wrong he has committed. Both will dis.
cover their mistake before long and when
the awaking comes each will discover that
there can be no genuine happiness on this
earth for them

MRS. DUDLEY INSANE.
So Says the Jury in Her Trial
for Shooting Rossa.
ruE FEEBLE CHIEF,
DIR, Douglas Thinks that the Balmy
Breezes Have Added to the
Generals Time.

New YORK, June 3O.-The court room
where Mrs. Dudley is on trialfor the assault
an O,Donovan Rossa was again crowded
=" excess to-day. When taking Of testi-
,nonv was continued DR.. Charles e. Denni-
snn who dressed Rossa's wound, testified
as to it's location and character. This
ended the case for the prosecution.
Counsel for Mrs. Dudley opened for the
defense. He claimed Mrs. Dudley assaulted
Rossa not out of personal spite, Or to
avenge a personal insult, but because he
was an enemy OF her country. The coun-
vel discussed the subject OF Irish patriotism
in continuing the line of testimony for the
defense, and spoke OF what he termed Mrs
Dudley's physical infirlnity." He said he
would show that for several years she had
been subject to epileptic fits. He would
show that her mind has been affected by
those fits and that she was not in fact
responsble for her own conduct. Counsel
submitted a number of letters from English
nLysicians in various institutions in which
his client had been confined for treatment.
They set forth the character OF her disease.
Deponents declared that Mrs. Dudley is
not in her right mind.
After other testimony the jury acquitted
Mrs Dudley on the ground OF insanity.
The Jury was only in consultation about
five minutes, when they rendered their ver-
dict A motion was made to send Mrs.
Dud]ey to the State Lunatic Asylum, which
her counsel opposed. The latter asked that
their client be permitted to be returned to
her native country, and be placed in an
institution there. The court will listen to
a arouments on this motion on Thursday.

LABOR TROUBLES.
Twenty Five Hundred Men Thrown Out
of Work.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July Last night
notices of Il general reduction were posted
in the iron mills at Newburgh, signed by
General Manager Chisholm of the Cleve-
land Rolling Mill Company. The notice
stated that the reduction would go into
effect to-day. 1t is understood that 10
per cent is the amount of the reduction.
During the night the men expressed much
indignant and after consultation the
mill employees gave notice at O'Clock
that unless the reduction was declared void
they would strike. No arrangements could
be made at the early hour and after work
ing the last changes, all the men left the
MILL Their course proved an incentive to
the employers OF the nail, new rod, hoop,
puddle bar, guide, Bloomington and Butt
mills and Seemen & Martins steel works to
shut down, and the workmen departed to
their homes in body. The only depart
ments which continued operations were the
Bessemer steel works. the wire and brick
rod mill.
LATER-The boiler makers and yard
brakemeff struck. Manager Chisholm held
a consultation with the brakemen at 8 a.
m., and promised to restore the drop in
their wages. They then returned to work
at $50 o'clock. The Bessemer steel works
men decided to follow suit and works shut
down. Fully 1000 men are idle at this
time. The rail mill men were told at about
10 o'clock that if they would return to
work their wages would not be reduced.
Their success was received by cheers from
the men still out. The boiler makers who
also received notice of the reduction,
struck about o'clock with the exception
of the rail and Bloomington mills. No con-
cession has been made and all the other
departments of the mill are closed.

THE FEEBLE CHIEF.
DR., Douglas Opinion Of General Grants
Case.

Mr.. McGKEGoR, June 3O.-Dr. Douglas
was asked this morning to review the Tort
night that General Grant has passed upon
the mountain:
His life has been prolonged by the invig-
Grating air here instead OF the great heat
of New York. The disease has progressed
in a natural way, but have said before 1T
is one of increasing debility. The General
was likely to die at any time in New Y 1ork,
and had he remained there instead OF com
ing here he would in all human probability
have expired before this. His present waste
is the natural result OF disease. He is every
day less strong and, though the step from
day to day is scarcely perceptible, the
aggregate Of the fourteen days becomes
noticeable. Two weeks ago he left the city.
II he was in New York to-day he could not
be moved here, as his strength is not equal
TO such a Journey now. If you ask ME
when the end will probably be cannot tell;
no one can tell. He grows weaker and
weaker, and at last the point OF extreme
exhaustion will be reached
Referring to local conditions. DR.. Douglas
said: 1.-THE mouth and throat are unusually
clear; a result of quiet and close attention
during the two days past. The weakness
of the patient is now evident in the lack OF
ability and desire to walk upon the piazza
as he did ten days ago. There is no dlspo-
sition on the Generals part to economlze
his strength and there is lessened interest
in his literary works. ;,
The doctor this morning reports that the
General gained considerable sleep. He is
in his room this morning.

RIOTOUS WORKMEN.
Street Railroad Men Make Serious TrOtI.
BILE in Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 1.-The street car strike
which began in the west division Of the ci y
yesterday developed a rather serious phase
to-day. The company attempted to sent
out some cars early this morning but the
strikers and their sympathizers compelled
the cars to return to the barn.
At noon three cars were sent out on Mad
ison stseet, each carrying d large force OF
police. On the trip down town no interfer-
ence was attempted. On the return trip.
however, the cars were met by mob OF
four or five thousand at Jefferson street.
They followed the cars with boots and
yells to Union street. From there to Hal
stead street the scene was one OF the most
riotious description. The crowd hurled
beer barrels, bricks, stones and all sorts OF
missiles at the cars, smashing the windows
and nearly wrecking them. Several arrests
were made, but the police were almost
powerless to handle the mob.
At Main street all sorts OF OBJ
structions were placed on the track. There
several ringleaders Of the mob were arrested.
A shot was fired at one OF the supposed
leaders, missiles were thrown from the build
ings at the cars. The cars proceeded slowly
with the great demonstrative crowd follow
ing, uttering threats. Proceeding further
west an enormous crowd OF threatening
men assembled near Ann street, and the
air was filled with stones as the cars tried
to make their way through. The police
men were hit and injured and cars badly
wrecked, resulting in their finally being
thrown from the track and overturned
near the sidewalk.
The authorities are now massing the en-
tire police force along Madison street and
are making number OF arrests. The po-
lice have been patient, and with the except
ion of one shot fired near the corner OF
Union street revolvers have not been used.
At 1915 p. m. three cars, badly wrecked
and under heavy guard of police, were
finally taken to the company's barn on
Western avenue, and the riotous demon
stration ceased for time, although great
crowds of excited men still throng Madison
street. What the street car company
contemplate doing or whether it will make
any further effort to move it's cars appears
now to be uncertain. No further trouble
is expected except in the event OF an
other attempt to start the cars,

A DOUBLE CRIME.
Report That a Butte Man Kills His
Wife and Himself

Word has been received in Butte that A.
Allen, formerly OF this city, and one of the
proprietors of the X l. restaurant when
it was conducted by the firm of Allen &
Trotter, had murdered his wife and then
committed suicide, in Leadvile. The par
ticulars are meager, but it is said positively
that the man, who had been out of work
for some time and had become desperate;
demanded that his wife should enter a
house of i'll fame, and that upon her indig-
nant refusal to the revolving proposition
he shot her to death and then committed
suicide with the same weapon. This is in
brief the monstrous story as it has reached
here, and if true it contributes another to
the many chapters of crime, the inception
and causes for which cannot be fathOmed
by even the most astute observers, for one
cannot imagine what devil could lead a
man presumably gentleman to make SO
awful proposition, and for failure, to re-
quire SO heavy a penalty. The one redeem
ing feature of the affair is that he had
decency enough to take his own life.
Allen was comparatively a young
man, being between 33 and 35
years of age. He was Of nice appearance
and quiet dsmeanor, and would be the last
man one would suppose could be capable
OF such crime. He had lived for some
years in Leadville.. where he has brother

rived in Butte last fall accompanied by his !
wife, having at the time just left Ceur d.
Alene. He soon entered into partnership
with Trotter and they opened the restaur-
ant, Mrs. Allen. in order to do her share,
acting as waitress. At the end OF a month.
or about the latter part OF November, the
firm sold out, and from that time until
March Allen did not have any employment,
The wife, however, was too Industrious or
independent to live without work and she
accordingly obtained employment at Fisk's
German Coffee House and subsequently
worked at Mr.. Pinkham's restaurant. In
March Mr.. Allen concluded to return
return to Leadville and it is said by those
who claim to know that his wife at that
time pawned her jewelry to enable him to
make the journey. About month later
she received sum of money from her
brother-in-law and with it followed her hus-
band to Leadville, that being the last heard
of her here until the receipt OF the news of
her death.
Mrs. Allen was bright lively young
woman, fond OF life and it's pleasures, but
her friends here assert that she was u true
and faithful wife and there was nothing in
her conduct that would justify the mon
strous proposition made by her husband

Stage Overturned.

Sunday last while the stage which runs
between the White Sulpher Springs and
it suddenly upset. The vehicle was carry
ing eight passenger and was heavily laden
with baggage. Among the passengers were
Mr.. Martin, the well known Wool merchant
of Boston and his wife, and Geo. w. Rob-
erts, agent of Chas. P. kellogg e. Co. Un-
fortunately Mrs. Martin was the only pas
senger hurt, and she sustained a fracture of
the arm. In order that the lady might be
made as comfortable as possible. Mr.. Rob-
erts left his entire baggage on the ground
where it had been dumped, and this Sc
cured for her a semi-couch for the remain
der of the journey. The courtesy was duly
appreciated by the sufferer and her hus-
band and the baggage was picked up by the
next stage and delivered in Helena intact.

Anaconda CarhOnateS.

The people Of Anaconda are just now
considerably exercised and excited over the
recent strike in the Little Nellie mine, about
five miles from town, up the creek. The
mine is owned by Brown & Co., and had
only been worked little over a month
when the strike, showing a rich carbonate
ore similar to that at Leadville, was dis
covered. The lucky owners proceeded to
get out about ten tons of the ore, which has
been sent to Denver for treatment, and as
may be supposed, the returns are anxious
ly awaited. In order to test the matter
several citizens of Anaconda secured small
samples. which they had assayed for their
own satisfaction, and the result was cer-
tificates showing that the samples submitted
for test ran from $1O5 to $500 to the ton.
If the body of the ore holds out and is
anything like the samples referred to, the
owners surely have veritable bonanza.

Warlike Preparations.

LONDON, June 3O.-A dispatch from TIE.
heran states that 1000 Persians are at
work constructing the Trans-Caspian Rail
way. Warlike preparations are still being
continued by Russia. Rumors are in cir
culation in Teheran that war will probably
occur after the ns-Caspian Railway has
been completed to Merv. The Russians
are bridging the river Munghab on the con-
fines of Afghanistan. Eight hundred Rus
sian infantry are at Old Sarakhs. The
Persians are fortifying the Persian Sar-
akhs and building barracks there for the
troops. A foundry has been started at
Herat for the casting OF heavy guns.

MONTANA INDIANS.

Prospective Hostilities.
Special to rur M1NrR.

Special to TIE MINER.
MILES CIrY, NJ. T., July 1.-The reports
that 800 Blood and Piegan Indians are on
the way to attack the Crows and Grosven-
tres, are generally disbelieved by the officers
at Fort Keogh, who have no official infor-
nation to that effect. The Bloods and
Piegans have been committing depredations
upon the other Indians and upon the whites
in Northern Montana. Horse stealing has
been their principal offense. Should any
attack be made upon tie Crows they will
be found amply prepared to make a strong
resistance. There are fully thousand
Crows now encamped on the Big Horn,
near the Custer battle ground, and 300
bucks from the North would not stand long
before them.

Mormon EmigrantS.

New YORK, July 1.-Steamship "Wiscon-
sin," which arrived at this port this morn
ing, had among her passengers 541 Sweed-
ish and Danish converts to Mormonism.
These people were in care of Elder J. Han
sen, President of the Emigration Com
pany. All ages were represented. Fifteen
missionaries were with the flock. This is
the largest company OF Mormon emigrants
that has arrived in the United States since
last summer, and it is stated it will soon be
followed by another equally as large. Near
ly all of the people will settle i'll the rural
districts of Utah, some will stop at Salt
Lake City, and few will go to Mexico. 1t
should be remembered that Mexico has not
yet become popular country for Nor
mons. There has been something of re-
vival in Mormon missionary work in En-
rope, and it may be expected that the tide
of emigration to this country during the
next few years will increase.
