IN THE BOTTLE BUSINESS.
A Test CMsv
Sale Of Disputed Prol)ts TO the

The four firms handling bottled beer in
Butte, Mess,s. H. l.. Frank. A. Speckart
& Co., Gregor Brothers and the Montana
Bottling Company, have commenced pro-
ceedings to test the right of any one to buy
the bottles belonging to those persons from
anybody other than themselves. When
they dispose OF the beer they do so with
the understanding that the case and
bottles are to be returned to the house
from which it is taken, but during a num-
ber OF months past they have noticed that
there is an increas sing scarcity in the supply
OF bottles, and they concluded to get
out q search warrant and if possible ascer-
tain where they were. The warrant was
placed in the hands OF an officer and it was
not long before he fell upon the stable OF
Solomon Levy, between Granite and
Quartz and Montana and Idaho streets,
and there he was rewarded by finding fully
$4,000 bottles all nicely piled away for
shipment to Salt Lake or some other
point. -,
Levy does not deny the possession OF the
bottles, but says that he has purchased
them principally from boys who had
picked them up in the street. Yesterday
the police sorted the pile over and found
something like $50 dozen bottles in the
barn which bore their labels, and these
have been replevincd. Tie case will be
taken to the courts and the firms men
toned, who claim that they have never
| parted ownership with the bottles, havin
merely permitted their customers to use
| them, are determined to put a stop to any
one buying any more OF them if possible.
While the boys pick up many OF the bot
ties, they also steal some, and by. other
parties encouraging them, they are given to
understand that no matter how they come
| by the bot ties, they can easily dispose OF
| them. Evidently it is not the intention OF
| these firms to sell their bottles with the
beer, because they are now selling upon a
very small margin, and the cost OF the bot
ties and cases, if added to the cost OF the
liquor contained in them, would make the
| aggregate cost higher than they receive per
case. Levy, it is claimed, has already
shipped several cars OF these bottles out
OF the Territory, and the original owners
| do not feel that they shoul be deprived ol
the use OF them, and they propose to
make a strong legal fight on the propo'
stion.

billiard match between Jacob Schaefer, OF
this city, and Maurice Vignaux, OF Paris,
came to termina tiOn last evening. The
attendance was very large, although the
crowd was not as large as on the previous
evenings, owing to the lead obtained by
SchaefAr over Vignaux, which last night
was ,12S points and thereby rendered
hopeless the chances of VignauX for win
ning The spectators were rewarded, how
ever. by seeing some OF the prettiest
billiard playing ever exhibited in this city.
Visnaux made 1 on his eighth inning, his
tot al score being 92. Ahaefer made II
more and gave Nignaux aschance, which he
improved by making neat run of so.
Schaefer for the second time DUR ing the
game looked through an o and gave the
Frenrhman another chance, Of which he
avaied himself, at the same time giving an
exhibition OF his art in brilliant alI-round-
table shots. counting each time with WON
derful skill until he had bagged 55 buttons.
The fifteth shot was applauded on it's
merits as a draw, the the fifty first as "A

more. On the sixteenth shot th" hafis were

made 43. Nignaux made 6 and then
cracked a goose-eeg. Schacfer counted 5

nineteenth and Schaefer began again to
play beautifully. He coached the balls
along the upper line to 30, then sent one
around the table, bringing it back to with

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Discussing the Wool Question---RailrOad
Telegraph Contest.

| WASHINGTON, March 14.-The Ways and
Means Commmittee yesterday morning
was devoted to the hearing OF gentlemen
| interested in the wool industry. John T.
Clark, the wool grower and tiock-master o
| Pennsylvania, was the first speaker. After
! giving a history of the growth OF the WOO
| industry in his section OF the country, he
| reviewed the condition OF this industry
under the various tariff acts. Under the
ac' OF 1867, the growers had fair, living
profits The act OF 1888 had injured the
| industry, and in 1884 and 1885, sheen
| worth 80 or SO each, were sold at any
price 10, 25 Or so cents, and many farmers
abandoned wool growing. The domestic
grower could not grow wool in competition
| with the English growers on Australian
| lands. If the industry was broken down
at home spectators would control the
! market and consumers would have to pay
more for their clothes. The growers did
| not ask for prohibitors tariff but, recog-
nizing that the act OF 1884 was a step
backward and they asked the restoration
of the rates of 1867.
Mr.. Reed protested against d tariff agita-
tion by revision OF the tariff as dis
turbance Of business. A postpOnement
was needed for a recovery from the great
Industrial depression. The passage OF the
bill would, he said, inflict Il blow upon the
manufacturers which would inevitably re-
coil Il ,,on the interests of domestic work
and production in the destruction OF its
home market.
Full. BOUNTY.
Second Comptroller Maynard has settled
an important question arising from the
act OF April 22, 1872, which directs that
every volunteer so!! er who enlisted for
three years prior to July %, 1861, under
the Presidents proclamation OF May ,,
1861, and the orders OF the War Depart
ment issued in pursuance thereof, and was
actually mustered into service for three
years before August 6, 1861, and who was
honorably discharged, shall be paid his full
bounty OF 500, unless already paid. The
Second Comptroller holds that said bounty
is payable to the heir of every deceas d
soldier who if living would be entitled
thereto, whether he died before or after the
passage OF the act.
RAILROAD TELEGRAPHY.
The Post says: Mr. Thomas A. Edison
has filed his application for a patent for
bis invention OF telegrap phing from moving
train. Last October Lucius j. helps, Of
New York, obtained quietly from the
Patent Office: and without any newspape,
noteriety, a patent for telesraphiug from a
train by induction. His method is not
quite the same az Mr.. Eiison's. for the
latter telegraphs from the roof of the car
to IL wire upon Il pole, while Mr. Phelps
proposes to lay a wire along tba track be-
tween the rails aud telegraph from the
bottom OF the car. Th" principle, however,
is the same and is broadly covered by Mr..
Phe,ps patent.
