large crowd. In CONJUNCTION with the six
good races on the programme, Lucky
Baldwin's stable of u running horses,
just arrived from California, in charge
of Albert Cooper, will beparaded around
the track for the benefit of the Dallas
public. This is the finest stable of horses
that ever passed through Texas. All

p. square ysId. But tho Glty ensIn5er
on next Tuesday evening will ask the
city council to modify the specifications
as far as relates to that part of Elm
street between Sycamore and HARDWOOD
streets, a distance of LOO feet. He viii
recommend the use of six inch blocks
upon ballast of six inches OF gravel,
instead Of the present 10 inch blocks
upon eight inches Of graveh
This change in the specifications will
effect saving of 1858 cubic yards OF
earth excavation, SOL cubic YARDS of
gravel ballast, and c33 cords OF bois
dare blocks, all Of which, at present
contract price, would amount to the
sum of $2,950.
With the steep grade OF this part of
Elm street, which Is two feet in every
| 100 feet, or a rise of 80 feet from Syca-
more to Harwood street, and the solid
| and compact character of the road-bed,
the use OF shorter blocks and less gravel
ballast will still insure as good pave
ment as on lower elm street.
But the street east of HARDWOOD street
will require the old specifications, UNI
less the city council should elect to use
8.inch blocks instead OF 10, small
saving. All parties who have been no
titled by the city engineer to put dow a
stone or cement curling should now sc
to work.
Mr.. Harry was, under the old charter
awarded the contract for paving this
street east TO point 80 feet east OF the
Texas Central railway track. Under the
old charter those owning property
AUDITING on tho street pay for the paw
ing. Thore are some OF the property
owners who now insist ON getting out o.
the matter, and who insist that the
paving should DO done unde
the amended charter, which provides
that the oity shall nav ene-third of The
cost of paving. Others want genera
assessment OF the property-owner
made TO pay the cost Of paving.
The city is preparing to jump tn
street car companies for non-paymen
OF their stroet-paving tax.

A JOKE
Results in the Death Of a Man at
Helena.

On Wednesday night there died in the citv
jail, at Helena, a pOor drunkard named
William Todd, who was found in a dying
condition in a stable. 1t was at first sup
posed that his death was the result of in
temperance n exposure. but a coroner's
inquest revealed the fact that it was caused
by a dose of laudanum given ignorantly as
a practical joke. The bottle had been left
there by a horseman named Truman.
Tuesday evening one Mike McGovern, an
employe in the stable, knowing the bottle
contained medicine which he saw Truman
give to his horses, conceived the idea of
playinga joke on William Todd, and telling
him the bottle contained whisky, took it
up and pretended to drink some, then
passed it to Todd who tool several swal-
lows. Shortly afterward he sat down in a
stall, Supplied with the drug.
The man never rallied and died in Jail, to
which place he was taken. The inquest is
not completed. but McGovern was arrested
and is now in Jail, awaiting the final verdict
of the %coroner's jury. He says he drank
some Of the stuff himself, but no one be-
lieves it.
Todd was formerly a married man and
had several children, but through some do
mestic difficulty his wife left him and pro-
cured u divorce, and is now married to
another man and living in Bay City, Michi-
gan. He also has a brother living in Min
neapolis. a prominent writer for the daily
press: The brother telegraphed yesterday
to hold everything, as he would leave for
Helena at once.

Our hyper-critical contemporary, the
Inter Mountain, notices the Rev. DR.. Pep
per's lecture on "Sherman's March to the
Sea-" as follows:
About seventy-fve people were present at
the Opera House last evening to here Rev.
Mr.. Pepper tell what he knew about Sher-
mans march to the sea. After the story
had been told a strong doubt fingered in
the minds of the audience as to whether
Sherman or Pepper commanded on that
trip.
The first part of this paragraph is un'
true; the second is a needless insult that
will be appreciated by the eloquent lee
turer's friends in Butte. The audience was
a fair one, numbering several hundred. The
lecturer alluded to himself but three times
throughout the lecture, and then in a per.
fectly iusti6able way.

The scheme of ~boycotting all English
goods in Ireland, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, is one which would appeal to the
most sensitive point of the Englishman-
his pocket. II systematically carried out,
this policy will do more harm to any Gov
eminent in control of Great Britain than
landlord shooting or any of the other re-
venges to which the tenantry has been
driven. 1t is an argument which will have
force with every Briton, and he will then
begin to inquire why it is that Ireland is in
q state of chronic revolt and what meas
ures are necessary to bring about whole
some relations between the two countries.
It is a great idea, and will be as successful
as Parnell's Parliamentary struggle if car
ried out in the same logical way.

The County Offices.

Yesterday the Board of County Commits
sioners decided that all the offices in the
Court House building should be frightened
up and in several OF them needed perma-
nent improvements of a not too expensive
nature should be made. Mr.. McDevitt will
do the work, and yesterday he was looking
around to see just what was needed and
will begin work Monday. The first point
will be the barn in which the Sheriff g office
is located. This will be calcimined and
painted, a rail will be run across the room
and some new furniture added. 1t is sadly
needed. In the Office OF the clerk of the
District Court there will he similar innova-
tions, and 1t is possible a portion of the
room will be ~carpeted. The rooms occu-
pied by the District and Probate Courts
will receive some attention as will several
OF the rooms in the upper story ofthe build
ing. All the rooms referred to are in
rather a shabby condition for a rich county
like Silver Bow, and the public who have
business there. no less than the officials
who occupy them, will hail the improve
ments.

The ruling of Commissioner Sparks in re-
lation to the cutting OF timber upon the
public domain would be ridiculous, if it did
not so seriously affect the interests OF the
whole Rocky Mountain region. This ruling
shows one of two things-that the Commits
sioner is the enemy Of the great west and it's
greatest industry, or, that he is the most
profoundly ignorant man in America. In
either event, it is a bad thing for the min
ing industry, which would he paralyzed il
the order should be enforced. Tie enforce
ment of this order would throw more than
5000 people out of employment in Butte
and vicinity and it's operations would be
equally disastrous in every mining camp in
Montana. We trust that Secretary Lamar
will suspend the operations Of the order
until he can satisfy himself fully upon its
bearing on the mining industry.

Sweet Music by the Bands.

Yesterday afternoon the Alice Band,
after attending the funeral OF Richard
Jones, came up Main street and stopped
at the corner Of Broadway. Several choice
selections were played, and quite a crowd
was attracted by the music. The boys OF
Walkerville may well feel proud OF their
band, for it certainly discourses the sweet.
est of strains in the best style possible, and
yesterday drew out many expressions OF
appreciation.
The Union Guard Band a out under
the Masonic Order to the funeral OF Mr..
Stone, and after rendering their services or
that occasion also rendered several beauti-
full pieces on the streets. The members Of
this organization show their careful train
ing and give ample evidence OF their abili-
ties as musicians.

Beer Battle rewin

There are now flying in the air OF
Butte. and perlneating the several beer ga.
looms and breweries, rumors of a war
between the local brewers and dealers
who use what may he called foreign
beer. THERE'S no telling what shape the war
will take, but the local men seem. accord.

some feasible plan by which to drive in a
measure the foreign beer GU, OF the market.
There is no data at hand to show the rela.
tive consumption of the two articles, but it
Is known that since last spring there has

foreign beers of various manufacturers and
That others are still seeking to establish

the chances are that the drinkers viii he

a lvely competition cannot fail to result in

The salt question, which the Union Pa
cifc management is so persistently ignor.
ing, will settle itself. II the railway com.
pany cannot see its way clear to reduce the
rate, the mills will be shut down on the
first of the year. The railroad men smile
at this proposition and regard it as a mere
threat or bluff" In this they are very
much mistaken. The mill men have come
to the determination to close down their
works on January LIST, if the railroad com
pany will not reduce the rate on self. after
mature elaboration. The freight rate will
have to come down or down 60 the works.
The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-11-14

The shutting down of the mills OF Butte
would be a disaster only equalled by the
closing of the smelters in consequence OF
Commissioner Sparks order in relation
to the cutting Of timber on the public do
main. The outlook for Butte, so cheerful
a few days age, has been suddenly o~'ercast
with a threatening cloud, which causes the
thoughtful to SILVER as they contemplate
it. That it may quickly be dissipated by
bright rays from Omaha and Washington
the one reducing the rate on salt and the
other resembling Commissioner Sparks
rules-will be the earnest prayer of the
people. .
