"Harmony" in Butte.

BUTTE, May 26-The first official act
of Mayor Hamilton has thoroughly dis
gusted the republican party leaders in
this city. Ex=city physician Hough con-
demned the water supply some time ago,
which was used as the only issue during
the city campaign. Republicans gained
their victory on it and the leaders intend
ed to have DR.. Hough, Notwithstanding
he is a democrat, reappointed, as an evil
dence that his statements were believed
by Butte people. At the meeting of the
council DR.. Hough and DIR. Leavitt were
voted on and the result was tie. Mayor
Hamilton having the deciding vote, cast
it in favor of Leavitt. This aroused the
Indignation Of the leaders and has created
dissenslon in the ranks. Chairman War
rem of the city central committee at a
special meeting today said the act of the
mayor had disguised him and he tender
ed his resignation.

Jim Keene Looming Up Again,

James R- keene is looming up again as one of the leaders in Wall street. Jim Keene has been very big man ill Wall street in his time, and If the reports that hear whispered under the shadows of the city hall are true, he will cut a much wider swath in the Wall street meadow than for any time in his career. keene is one of those uneasy, rest less fellows who cannot sit still even under the administration of the chloroform of dis eress which often comes to people who get their eye teeth pulled in Wall street One of the reports which are going the rounds is that Keene some weeks ago was visited by a man who had read of his advance in the world of speculation, and he said to him:
 ''Mr. Keene, I have 5000 of your privi- leges. I hear that you have been making money. I would like to have you cash these privileges
 MT. Keene looked at him q second, and then replied in substance that if the outside creditors would let him alone he might make some money. He had not, he said, made much money lately, because he did not have the capital with which to make investments that he knew would pay
 ''Then tell me-" said his visitor, "what shall do to make some moneyw
 Buy some Northern Pacific" was the aconic answer.
 II will take your advice," was the reply. Within few days the man returned and said to Mir. Keene: ''I have made S36. 900 upon your advice, and beg to present you with the privileges which called for $10,OO0, as a mere payment in part for the advice you gave me regarding Northern Pacific"
 This was not Wall street man in the pro- fessional sense.-"Miss Justices In New York Star.

THE SOUTHBURY MINE.
The Stories of Finding Oil and Coal are
 UnfOunded.

The Connecticut readers of the New York Tribune were startled yesterday to read an announcement in that paper of the discovery of oil at Southbury, Conn. It has been we'll known for the past few weeks that shaft was being driven at that place in search of coal, oil or ores, but the announcement that the find had been struck so quickly was unexpected. This morning an article ill the New Haven News announcing the finding of vein of coal caused consd erable rejoicing among the citizens who were .congratulating themselves on at last beineIfreed from the grip of the Pennsylvania coal barous. For the pur- pose of verifying the report a DEMOCRAT reporter interviewed Senator H. A. Mat thews, who is one of the principal stock holders in the mine and who follows the developments very closely. Mir Matthews said he had arrived from Southburv this n orning At the me he left the drll had reached the depth of no feet and was go ing through solid ledge of rock. Nc oil or coal or any other thing of value had been struck. He first heard of the find" from Danbury paper while on the cars, but there was not the slightest truth to the rumor He said that doubtless some Dan bury man was "journalizing" or writing blizzard stories." The company do not expect to strike any find for some time yet at least until they get several hundred feet below the present depth.

TRANSPORTATION OF PASSENGERS.

Progress Made in Railway Travel-Mo'!ern
 Improvements-The Climax.
 Gen. Horace Porter, in Scribner's Maga- zine, has an entertaining article on the prog ress made in railway passenger travel. There are some facts in it which will be interesting to those who now and then have occasion to use the railway.
 Sixty years ago the first locomotive engine was used upon a railway built for passenger transportation. At the beginning the loco motive was not given the monopoly in pull ing trains as now. It divided the .honors with the horses, the two forces being used in changeably. The original passenger car was a good deal, if not wholly, like the old stage coach. But it was not long before American progress discarded this old and inconvenient style and adopted the long car, which is now the model on which all passenger cars are constructed The public were not at first in-, clined to look with favor upon the new style of locomotive transportation. The legisla- ture of Pennsylvania, especially, opposed the idea and refused to grant any railroad char ters for several years subsequently,. The rail ways then were not what they are now. There were no baggagemen up to 1S45. Each traveller at the end of journey was required to get out his own baggage. The dust nearly suffocated one, and the sparks from the loco motives almost put out the eyes of the trav- elers.
 The cars were lighted at night by tallow candles and heated in winter by close box stoves which transformed car into veri- table oven. There were no hand brakes, and the passenger was jolted about in merciless manner. In 1851 an improved and efficient hand brake was adopted. In 1869 the air brake, operated and controlled by the en- gineer, was first introduced. Since then the progress in railway transportation has been rapid. Improved couplers were invented and adopted which prevented the cars from run ming one on top of the other in case of a col lislon. The bell cord, connecting the en- gineer and conductor or any passenger, was brought into use Improvements in the switch, in the use of the telegraph in dis patching trains and ill other details of rail road management added to the safety as we'll as to the comfort of the passenger.
 The next object to be gained was his luxury. In 1886 berth cars were put upon the railway from Harrisburg to Philadelphia. This prim- itlve sleeping car was very rude indeed. The steamboat companies had set the example They fitted up sleeping apartments for their passengers. In 1S4S there was farther i'm provement in this direction. Finally, in due time and i'll natural way, the present luxu- | rlous sleeping car grew out of the old berth cars. But the sleeping car was not the climax of railway travel. The hotel car is nearly at the top. A man nowadays on one of these cars can eat leisurely and with perfect com fort The very apex of railway improve ment is seen in the vestibuled train where one 1 can walk from end to end without going out | of doors, and where the electric lights turn night into day.-Detroit Free Press.
