A Confirmed Jail Bird.

Tom Kelly, who was last week given IS
and costs for disturbance of the peace,
which fine he only worked out on Sunday,
was yesterday rearrested for a similar Of
fence and lodged in the city prison under
the City Hall. Left to his own resources he
proceeded to burrow his way out by re-
moving the stones under the sill OF one OF
the real windows. He was discovered by
the police at his industrious work
and taken upstairs before Judge
Lippincott to be sentenced at
once before he committed any more
mischief. The Judge inquired OF him what
he had to say, and Tom could only admit
that he had had a glass or two and had
got into a little difficulty. The Judge lee
tured him briefly on the general cussedness
he was displaying, and in order to make
the lesson more impressive to him, gave
him the limit-$10O and costs-and COM
mitted him to jail to work it out.

the Council to make a proposition TO it
from that company. He (the Mayor
thought the Council would be too busy
last night to attend to the matter.
Mr.. Frank had then asked him to
introduce the matter asking that
a night be appointed for the
company to appear before the Council
with it's proposition. He had stated that
the company was willing to furnish an
abundance OF good and pure water to the
city, and recognized the necessity at pres
ent existing. The company had another
source OF supply that would furnish an in
exhaustible quantity OF the purest water
imaginable, and would do everything to
meet the requirements OF the city
in every way, including a change
in the location Of the plant. The Mayor
himself was in favor of removal of the plant
and was of opinion that more and better
water should be furnished. After some dis
cussion about the franchise granted to the
new company Alderman Pettes moved that
both companies be requested to have rep
resentatvss at the next meeting Of the City
Council, which was adopted.
The Council then adjourned to Friday

cident that occurred yesterday; A gentle
man handed into the office of this paper on
Saturday an adv. to the effect that he had
that day lost a pocketbook between the
postofice and Galena street containing
certain specified contents and offering $50
reward for it's recovery unimpaired. Yes

ately picked up q pocketbook containing
S3Ol.95 besides other papers, and being on
the lookout Tor the owner, eagerly scanned
the columns OF this paper, confident that,
IL the owner was on top of ground, he
would be certain to make his loss known
through the only medium of the kind in
Butte. His eagle eye lit with accuracy on
the advertisement and without delay he
rushed down to The MINER Office, waving
the p~ocketbook in the air and crying
"Eureka!" or words to that effect. The
gentlemanly cashier of the establishment,
on being brought by Fred to a comprehen-
sion OF the true inwardness of the case,
n identifying the contents with those adj
yectised, went dowRinUo the recesses of the
burglar-proof vault wherein are deposited
the costly muniments of the office, and
handed over to Fred the promised $50 re-
ward, while the p~ocketbook was returned
to it's owner through Mr.. L. r. Maillet.

W OF HIS MIND.
A Crazy Man Creates a Rumpusina Saloon
on West Broadway.

A man named James Trembath made
things lively for a little while in a saloon
on West Broadway on Saturday after.
noon. He entered unobserved and took a
seat at a table in the rear of the saloon
and when noticed had a knife in his right
baud with which he was apparently en-
deavoring to cut off his left hand. Several
men ran to ~ards him to stop him, when
he raised an axe by his side and with the
glitter OF a mailman in his eye threatened
to kill any n who approached him. The
danger OF his throwing the murderous
weapon at any one was imminent and the
police came to the rescue. Officer Meikle-
john by a ruse persuaded Trembath to
shake hands with him and as he did SO
he was pinioned from behind and dlsarmed.
He was taken TO jail by Tom Lloyd and
Frank Themes, whom be accompanied
without trouble. He has been unsuccessful
in leasing operations in Jefferson county
lately and returning to town a few days
ago was met by many friends and has been
drinking rather freely. His friends think
his mental alteration only temporary,
and, on inquiry at the Court House yester-
day. it was found that he was much i'm
proved by a few hours incarceration. The
chances are he will come round all right
with a few days rest.

The sudden death OF E. ]. Wright, the
manager for McCune at Walkerville, was a
shock to all who knew him. In the prime
of life, in the possession of perfect physical
health, it seemed almost an impossibility
that even pneumonia had the power to cut
him down in three short days. Such, how
ever, was the fact and as they gather
tomorrow about his coffin his friends will
have an opportunity to mediate upon the
mutability of life. With a happy house
hold, hosts of friends and a fair number OF
years yet to look forward to, it is to be
regretted that his summons came SO soon,

J. E. Richards returned home yesterday
from his trip East. In reference to his re-
lection as a lay delegate to the General
Conference of the Methodist Church, at it's
session now in New York, Mr.. Richards
said that the ~informality in his election,
which was unavoidable, was a violation Of
the letter of the law, though complying
with it in spirit. The conference had ruled
with literal ex~actness in the case of women
delegates, and the rejection Of the repre-
sentative delegates from the church in
Mexico and India. and could not ignore
these presidents in his case.

seriously of discarding his modest civil suit

Chicago Catholics Indignant

CHICAGO, May 27.-At a meeting to-day
of nearly two hundred delegates of the
Irish Catholic societies of Chicago gathered
to make arrangements for the annual re-
union and outing OF the societies a mo-
ton OF Importance was offered relating to
a mass meeting of Irish Catholics, to be
held Thursday next.
The object of the mass meeting is the con.
sideration Of the papal rescript. The
motion which was carried without a dis
senting voice was to the effect that it is the
sense OF all Irish Catholics that they can
manage their own political affairs and that
| ali fine Irish societies should attend the
| mass meeting to lend their voice to this
| belief.

As John M. O'Neill was passing the Mount

blow on the forehead, telling him to the

The Wet Goods Baseballists DOwned BY
the Dry Goods Men in One Innings.
In spite of the fact that the base ball
game at the race track yesterday was
widely advertised, and that extra prepara-
tons had been made to entertain the
crowd that should come, a liberal estimate
places the attendance at three hundred.
The day was showery. and this nay have
had something to do with limiting the
crowd in attendance. The Wet Goods
champions were:
Jerry Mullen, Captain and 2b.; Joe
Harmon, C. and 3d.; Harry Carnes, p. and

Iynd, 3D.; E. Lange, =. 8. and c.; M.
Slater, |. f.; F. Foakett, c. f.; j. Claseby, RI.
The Dry Goods team consisted of: Sully

captain; G. Porter, c.; j. Wardell, S.; Z.
y; Jones, C. f.; G. Brennan, 2 b.; Charles
Wardell, l b., and c. Gordon, r.. I.
The Wet Goods men went to the bat
nrst and were put out in one, two, three
order. The Dry Goods men then went in
and made twenty-four runs. An attempt
TO keep score was out OF the question. The
wet Goods men were entirely demoralized,
and played without any leadership. They
changed pitcher without any effect, made
oVerthrows, muffed catches, and their
play was a comedy of errors. Finally
they got the Dry Goods men out and went
70 the bat a second time, but after Mullen
ana Harmon made two rum it was evil
