Inadequate Salaries.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-The declina-
tion of the office of Sub-Treasurer of the
United States at New York by Mr..
Bigelow, which the politicians have thus
far failed to understand, calls to mind the
an enormous return for the sal
ary which it pays its officials. The
Sub-Treasurer at New York must give
bondsmen who are willing to qualify in the
sum of $500, 900, iu order that the Govern
ment may be protected from every possible
loss through the dishonesty of the prin-
cipal officer or his assistants. He has in
his hands frequently 100 times that
amount in hard cash, and he is
held responsible for the faithful
custody OF every cent of it, and yet for
this enormous trust he receives a salary OF
only $4,000 year. 1t is the same in
nearly all the depar tments of thu Govern
ment. The salary paid for this import ant
position Of trust is altogether out Of pro-
portion to the amount of bond required.
and it is for this reason in
part that there are so few men of
ability and standing who are
willing to ask their friends to assume the
risk for them. The bondsrnen for the as
sistant Treasurer OF the United States are
not only responsible for the shortcomings
of the man with whom they are bonded,
but they must also make good any loss
which may occur through the dishonesty of
the numerous employees whom it is neces-
sary t.. trust in the transaction OF the
enormous business at the New York Sub
Treasury.

A RATTLINQ FIGHT.
Twenty drought Rounds End
in Draw.

Dune. McDonald's "Queensbury" was
packed last night. when Billy Delaney (col-
ored) and Billy Huselton entered the ring
to fight twenty rounds for side bet. De-
]aney exhibited an advantage in avoirdu-
pois, but the pale-faced bruiser looked con-
ident as the scratch was toed.
In the first round Huselton was sent to
grass by a stunning right-hander but he
quickly recovered and made things lively
for his dusky opponent until time was
called. Rounds, two, three, four and five
were repetitions of the first, Delaney hav
ing his own way to great extent. In the
sixth round Huselton began to exhibit
signs OF alertness, and by clever right
handler knocked Delaney off his pins. The
blow was evidently surprise to the colored
boy, for he began to show lack of conf
dence, and was decidedly groggy when
the timekeeper's voice was heard. "Slug-
ology" was leading feature in the re
naming rounds. The men lost wind as
the fight progressed, and sparring gave
place to ''rushes." 1t was give and take
until the end of the twentieth round, when
the fight was declared a draw. Both men
had bellows sadly in need of repairing as
they left the ring, but neither exhibited ex-
ternal signs of punishment.
It was game contest, and every person
who witnessed it was satisfied with the
referees decision. 1t might be added that
Miles McNally acted as referee, and that
the chronometer was held by Tom Man
ming.

A Bright Outlook.

1.-The Indications are, said one of Buttes
prominent merchants yesterday to MINER
reporter, "that the present year will be
one OF great prosperity throughout the
country, but particularly in the West, and
especially to the people who labor with
their hands. A great many people are not
aware of the fact that is nevertheless true,
that there has never been a time in the
history Of the world when the laborer the
mechanic and the man and woman who
work in any occuption were 80 comfor-
table, SO we'll provided for, SO independent
and so raised in social status as they are
in this country at the present moment.
workingman purchase so much for his
money. But the year 1886 will be a no.
table one in even still more advancing the
fortunes and welfare Of the poor and in
dustrious all over the country, but espe-
cially in the West. shall not be surprised
to see moro people in Butte the coming
summer than 1t ever contained before"

DAUGHTERS OF REBEKAH.
Collar Presentations and a Pleasant
Social Entertainment.

Las tevening Miriam Lodge, Daughters Of
Rebekah, held it's regular meeting. but he
exercises were OF more than the ordlna ry
interest. During the session OF the lodge
DR.. L. E. Holmes, on behalf OF the men,
bers OF the Order, presented to Mrs. NJ. l..
Fifer and Mrs. Irene Anderson very
handsome Past Grand's collar for each.
The doctor made Il huppy and eloquent
address, to which both the ladies made
ii nely responses, showing the apprecia-
ton of the honors conferred upon them by
their companions.
All OF the members feel very proud of
their lodge, which is the banner one OF the
Territory, having now about 125 active
members, which, considering that it is
only three years old, is an unusually good
showing. Mrs. Fifer was the first Noble
Grand of Miriam Lodge, and is even more
interested in it's welfare than when it was
weaker than at present. All the ladies
work for the good OF the order, and the
noble results of their 1abors are plainly
seen.
After the adjournment of the secret ses-
sion, the ladies spread luncheon for
the members of the society and num-
ber of invited guests, to the number
of about eighty, and instead of a stiff,
straight-laced arrangement, it was a regu-
lar family reunion; all those who were pres
ent seemed to vie with each other in having
a good time, and after partaking OF the
choicest cakes, fruits, candies, nuts. coffee,
etc., literary programme, consisting Of
readings, singing and music was carried
out. This is but a sample of the entertain
ments given by those ladies, and it was
certainly one of which they may we'll feel
proud.

WHAT KILLED VANDERBILT
Did He Have Violent Quarrel With
Young Garrett

New YORK, January 9.-The Star prints
a long story headed, "How Did Vanderbilt
Die?" The gist of it is this Garrett
called on Vanderbilt because he had heard
that President Green OF the West
ern Union was seeking under
contract with the New
York Central, to take from the Baltimore
and Ohio the privilege OF working wires on
the West Shore Road. The interview
lasted an hour and half. Vanderbilt, it
is averred, rejected all CARROTS proposals
looking to settlement satisfactory to the
Baltimore and Ohio. As Garrett naturally
became more earnest and indignant, Van
derbilt grew more and more excited and
angry. At last the elimination was
reached. A few broken, inarticulate words
were blurted out, the massive form lurched
forward from the chair, and William H.
Vanderbilt fell prostrate, senseless and dy-
ing, stricken down by apoplexy.
The Star says DR.. Green admits that the
Western Union was seeking control OF the
West Shore wires, and Mr.. Depew admits
that Garrett told him the matter was the
subject of conversation when Vanderbilt
fell DIR. James w. McLane, who had
been Vanderbilt's s physician for five years
before his death. considers the fatal event
almost in the light OF a tragedy. He says
that there were no indications OF paralysis
or apopIexy about his patient.
New YORK, January S.-The Star fol-
lows up it's Vanderbilt story with more sur
misses, theories and facts. Depew, however,
in the Tribune Gays that Vanderbilt and
Garrett could not have known OF the
Centrals notice about the West Shore
lines, and therefore could not haye disput
ed about it.

The Fire Record.

CLEVELAND, January 9.-There were
scenes OF the widest excitement in Oberlin
College at | o'clock this morning. At that
hour flames burst from the third story OF
the ladies' hall, a brick structure con-
nected with the college, and in which $50
female and 100 male students were accom-
modated. The girls were sound asleep
when the alarm was raised, and when they
were awakened they rushed from their
rooms into the street clad simply in their
night garments. The weather was intensely
cold. and it was difficult to get water into
the building. The hall was completely de-
stroyed. The loss on the structure and
it's contents is placed at $4,000. The
students on the upper floors lost all their
effects. So far as can be learned nobody
has been injured.
CINCINNATI, January "a fire in Jewett
& Adams mandatory, on Water street,
was fought by the entire department this
morning as the locality is very dangerous
if a confagration should be once started.
The loss is estimated at 100000.

ALL ON ACCOUNT OF PEACH CIDER
The Troubles of PresbvteF1aA 41nister
and His ID ivided Congreg1taon.

BELvIDERE, N. j., January 9.-The old
est Presbyterian Church in this county Is
situated at Kennedy vile. It was founded
in 1746. It has been known for years as
the old Greenwich Church. The congrega-
ton of the church is at present terribly agiss
tated, and all because OF peach cider.
The Rev. Thomas 8. Long has been pas
tor of the church for fifteen years. He
helped build up the church and had all the
debts paid OF. There was not ripple to
disturb his pastorate until two years ago.
Then William Carpenter, one OF the promi-
nent elders of the church, built distillery,
and began the manufacture of peach cider.
He took his sons in partnership with him.
The temperance people OF the church be-
came very much agitated over this move.
A secret meeting OF the session was first
held, minus the presence of Mr.. Carpenter.
The other elders thought Carpenter was
acting very injudiciously.
Then the congregation took up the mat
ter. A meeting was he'll and resolutions
adopted protesting against the making OF
peach cider, on the ground that it was an
intoxicant. The next Sunday Mr.. Long
preached against peach cider. Elder Car.
penter got very mad. The next day he
left the church, and induced num-
ber of his friends to do the same.
They also withheld all further con.
tributions. and SO crippled the treas
ury that the pastor had to take $500 a
year less salary. He accepted the reduc
ton bravely, however, and kept right on
discourslng against peach cider. Elder
Carpenter kept right on, also, injuring the
church until it is now on the verge OF ruin.
Carpenter and his friends had nearly all
the wealth, and they have succeeded in
breaking up the progress OF the congrega-
ton.
Recently meeting of the congregation
was held, and, after some lively discussion,
the pastor was asked to resign, on the
ground that his presence was destroying
the harmony and blighting the future of
the church. Pastor Long defines to va:
cate, and the Presbytery upholds him. 1t
asserts that peach cider ought to be de-
cried. It is not known where the excit-
ement will end.

FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.
An Eastern Railroad Bridge
Goes Down.
BORROWED POISON.
A Hungarian Prima Donna, After a
Successful Debut Commits
Suicide.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, January "a
fearful accident occurred on the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad at the bridge over
Flint river, near Whites Station, Morgan
County, to-day. Two sections Of the
north bound freight train telescoped. A
part of the first secrion broke loose and
remained on the bridge, and was runi nto
by the second section. The shock caused
a collapse of the bridge. 100 feet of which
was undergoing repairs. Five cars of the
first section and the whole of the second
section. consisting of an engine and seven
teen cars, went down with the bridge. The
wreck caught fire and eighteen cars were
burned. John Johnston, fireman, of the
second section, fell under his engine and was
drowned. Henry Boteler, brakeman, was
caught under car and burned to death.
Engineer w. D. Johnson, brother of the
dead fireman. was fatally burned. Con-
ductor George Young and a negro brake
man named Thomas McCreary, were seri-
ously burned. The freight consisted most
" of pig iron, which will be saved. Con-
ductor L. O. Harris, of the first section,
swan across the almost frozen river to flag
the north-bound passenger train, which
came along in a few minutes.

SUICIDE WITH STOLEN POISON.
After q Brilliant Debut . Hungarian
Opera Singer Enas Her Life.

BUDA-PEsrH, January 9.-Fraulein Ar
anka Sziklia, young and romantic girl,
came to Buda-Pesth with d sister to study
for the operatic stage. She was gifted with
a charming voice and beautiful face, and
soon obtained an engagement. A few
nights ago she made q brilliant debut at
the Klausenburg Theater in "Lall;t
Rookh."
During the evening she was overwhelmed
with compliments and boquets, for which
she had not Miss Minnie Hauk's aversion.
Her triumph seems to have turned her
head, for, after the performance, she forced
quarreI upon well-known engineer to
whom she was engaged, because he had de-
clared himself unable to neglect his business
to accompany her on d visit to her sister.
The misunderstanding, however, was
smoothed over, and the betrothed couple
had kissed and made friends, when, as the
engineer was on his way to the station with
a friend, Fraulein Aranka rushed at him,
crying: Come back! come back! If you
won't go to my sisters with me I'll kill
myself" And then she ran back to her
house.
Knowing she had three times already at
tempted suicide her lover at once hastened
after her. He burst open the door of her
room and found Fraulein Aranka already
stretched on the sofa in commissions. No
ticing strong smell OF cyanic acid he dis
patched his friend to the doctors and ad-
ministered antidotes.
In few minutes the unhappy girl rallied
sufficiently to explain that she had poison
I'd herself with the contents of bottle of
the arid stolen fro.a the laboratory Of
