pay for the material. The petition was re-
ferred to the committee on mOrgue. The

well-modulated voice, and he carried every
point with a nicely that showed the cor.

reputation well established in New York
as a Shakesperian actor, and earned dis

late years he has devoted his talent to sen.

EFFECTUALLY sQuELCHED.
The ''Tea FakirS" Cease to Ply Their
Vocation in Butte.

The 'tea game" is a putrid reminiscenct
in Butte. Last night the store on East
Broadway was not opened, the band did
not play at the door, and the voices o.
Fakir Pickert, Fakir Jsffries and Faki,
Lewis-the trio Of '.fakirs" whose swindle
The MINER SO completely exposed-were
hushed. The :tea game" is a cold, clammy
corpse, never to be resurrected in the great
est mining camp on earth.
The 'fakirs" failed to ply their thievish
vocation for two good and sufficient rea-
sons. In the first place, the tin cash-box
containing the 'fakirs'" stock in trade OF
watches aud diamond chips ia in custody
OF the Sheriff, where it is held as security
Tor the appearance OF the ''fakirs' before

SANDER preferred by an attache of this
paper. In the second place, the MINERS
expose OF the tea game" was SO thorough
n unmistakable as to open the eyes OF
the most obtuse to the 'sure thing" char
acter OF the game, and the 'fakirs'' could
not now catch enough "~suckers" in Butte
to pay for their coal-oil.
Two more complaints of Islander will be
entered against the ''fakirs' to-day, and
they will probably realize before they are
permitted to leave Butte that this COM
munity is not entirely composed of
"suckers," and that they cannot with i'm
punity malien the character of persons
who possess what they have lost-an hon
est reputation.

SUMMER EVENING DRESSES.

In summer evening dresses, to be worn

Canvas supplies a sufficient amount OF

cut quite short, with a shield-shaped velvet
plastron bordered by a frill of black lace.

Several montia ago seven nnhs and Eve

this county. and for a long time their
whereabouts was unknown to the Sheriff,
Who t~elegraphed q description OF the ami.
mails to such points as he deemed likely to
be passed by the thieves. About three
weeks ago he received a dispatch from the
Sheriff OF Lewiston County. Idaho, stating
that the thieves, two in number, and their
plumber were n his custody. Sheriff Snlli.
. at 6 secured the. neces
sary reputation papers from Gov

brother, Deputy NJ. H. Sullivan, with
the duty of bringing back the thieves and
stock. Last evenings trainfr0m the north
brought the Deputy and the two prisoners
to Butte, and the latter were safely lodged
in the County Jail.
The men are named Thomas Lewis and
John Swift, and they tell an interesting
story OF their adventures after leaving
Butte. They had three horses of their
own, seven stolen mules, i've stolen horses,
q dog and sufficient provisions to keep
them alive until they arrived at their

ravenously hungry. but SO long as the men

But one night, While camping, some Of the
mules slipped their halters and

A CHAPTER OF ACCIDEKTS,
Four Railroad Mishaps in less Than
F~Orty-eight; Heura.,

Four Railread Mishaps in less Than
Forty-eight; Hsars.
The past two days have been peculiarly
unlucky for the Utah 4 Northern Railroad
people.
On Sunday morning q compile of engines
were smashed at the Butte depot, and the
engineers in charge Of them have bssn sum-
moned and leave to-day for Pocatello to
explain the accident to Superintendent
Blickensderfer. The details OF the smash
up were published in yesterdays MINER.
The next accident recorded was at Silver
Bow, where IN engine and caboose were
ditched by being al into by train Of
freight cars. The train was beiag made mp
attached to it. Nobody was hurt, bot the
engine and a caboose, which stood on q sid
ing, were badly damaged.
The next disaster on the list was re-
corded at 4:3O p. M, when freight train
No. 613, from Spring Hill to Butte, was
derailed. It seems that the section abor-
ers had removed q rail to repair it, and
before the engineer of the freight could re-
spond to their signal his engine N into
the break. Nobody was injured by this
accident, and the engine was replaced on
the rails after two hours hard work.
What might have been q very serious
accident occurred yesterday to the regular
passenger train from Helena to this city.
The train, 10 charge OF Conductor West and
with Engineer Else at the throttle, pulled
out OF Garrison at 2:15 p. m, and had run
about three miles when the engine struck
by the intense neat of the day, and jumped
the track. After humping along for a dis
lance of fifty feet over the sleepers the loco
motive turned over N it's side, dragging
with it the mail and baggage car. just
as soon as the engine left the track En-
einser Else reversed his lever and applied
the air Erakes, and his prompt action un-
doubtedly prevented many passengers
from being at least seriously injured. The
plucky engineer and his fireman stuck 10
their engine till she stopped, and escaped
while the inmates of the baggage
car received only a slight shaking up.
When the baggage car turned over, it's rear
coupling became detached, which saved the
downfall. Messengers were at once dis.
patched to the nearest telegraph station,
and Telegram ms informed the railroad officials
at Garrison and Silver Bow of the
accident. Engine No. % was at once sent
from Silver Bow to the rescue, and the
engine was dispatched from the
yard. The passenger coaches
we're pulled back to Garrison, and the
work of clearing the track was completed
at 1890 o'clock last night. At IL o'clock
the train started for Butte, headed by
90, and at $3.50 this morning ar.
rived safely in Quite. The overturned
engine was left by the wayside, but will be
brought to Butte to-day.

The Grand Army Excursion.

On nest Thursday, July Is, the Grand
Army Post OF this city will give a grand
excursion to Gregson Springs, as a testi-
monial benefit to the Orion Cornet Band,
who have on various occasions volun-
teered their services for Grand Army
affairs. The excursion will be under the
direct management ofsuch prominent Grand
Army of the Republic men as Capt. Wyman
and H. c. kessler. They will, with the as
sistance OF Messrs. French and Stoner, the
proprietOrs OF the Gregson Springs, do all
in their power to make this the excursion of
the season. Among the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
offered at this well-known resort, hot
baths will be a great novelty to many who
have never seen any natural hot springs.
Tie baths will be free to every one attend
ing the excursion, although, the
regular price for them is so cents.
A large hall will be thrown open
to all those who wish to while q few hours
away with dancing to the music OF the
popular band. The large grove only a
short distance from the springs will afford
ample accommodations for those who wish
to enjoy a day OF rest and recreation.
Arrangements have also been made by the
genial prOprietors to supply the inner man
with the cho >cest viands the markst a
afford. All who attend can rest assured
that everything will bedone for their pleas.
ure and comfort. On Wednesday evening
the Orion Cornet Band will give an exhibi.
ton drill and grand concert on Main street
between Broadway and Granite at Z O'Clock
p. m. This is the only really local band
in this city. and is composed OF the five
Orion Brothers, who have livedin this city
since their boyhood, and such well known
musicians as G. F.. Marsh, Simon Haus-
with, George Fitschen, Frank Scarf, B.
s: Smith, Samuel H. Speck and Others.
They are in neel of a new uniform and
music, and the excursion, although proba-
bly, the cheapest and best of the season,
will aid them in their efforts to make their
band an organization OF which the citizens
OF Butte may we'll feel proud. Tickets for
the excursion, including baths at the spring.

Army of the Republic and at Grix's book
store for 81. The train will leave at $50

We can only say to our patrons
that aside from the hot baths, the trip to
Gregson is well worth the sum Of 81 to
every man. woman and child in the city.
