out 9 o'clock yesterday morning fire
was discovered issuing from the Anchor
House, a two story frame building on the
corner of Quartz and Wyoming streets.
The alarm soon brought the Fire Depart
ment and the Fire Brigade to the scene,
but the fire had gained such rapid Roadway
that, even with the double hose service,
it was not extinguished until the build
ing was Quilted. The furniture down
stairs was saved, with most OF the'personal
effects of the dodgers. The furniture up
stairs was burned, but was fully covered
bv insurance. The building, which was
owned by j. A. Harrington, was uninsured,
and the loss is about So. 800. 1t had just
been reftted at a cost OF $1,000, and the
tenant. A. B. Johnson, was just fairly
started in the boarGin eapd lodging bust
ness, when the fire cut him out. The build-

was occupied as a drug store by H. A..
D'Acheul from. 1S7Sto 1883. In the latter
year it was moved to it's present location,
and was used as n Miners Union Hall until
they secured better accommodations, and
WAS occupied for a year as a high school.
At $50 last night the fire alarm again
sounded, and it was founG that the same
fire had taken n fresh start. By the time
the hose carts were on the ground a dense
loud OF smoke was rolling cut from the
building and showers of sparks were being
elected from holes in the wall. Chief
Themes OF the Fire Brigade remarked in
the afternoon that he expected they would
ha We more trouble at the same place, as
the walls of the building were stuffed with
sawdust, which was likely to hold fire after
the premises seemed to be thoroughly
drerched. Events proved that he was
right. AMI the boys had another hours
work resoaking the ruin last night. 1t was
a cold night, the temperature being only Il
degrees above zero, and the spectators gen.
orally were very glad they were not firemen.
1t takes a good deal of self sacrifice to keep
a fireman On the force at this time OF year.

A Soft-voiced Dude Pollshes OF q Truck
man In an Unexpected Way.
A muscular drayman was belaboring a
drayhorse at Front and Market streets in
Philadelphia the other day in the endeavor
to make the animal drag a heavily loaded
truck up the hill. A young nan with a
two-story collar, an overcoat that was
shorter than the one under it, and a won.
drous pair of checked trousers. stopped on
the corner and for a moment gazed with
languid air on the man and the horse.
Stepping into the street he said with q
most abominable drawl, and an ~affectation
OF an English accent: II say, me man, you
shouldn't beat that horse in that manner
It's positively cruel, you know. l shall
certainly call a bobby"
The drayman turned his head, gave a
contemptuous glance at the speaker and
cut the straining animal more cruelty than
before. Il say, me man," continued the
dude, you'll have to stop it, you NOV +;
you'll have to stop it,"
The drayman turned again. IF you
don't git away from here" he said, "I1l
paste you in the nose. Go on, now, or I'll
give it to yougood."
The languid young mar said not a word .
He drew off his gloves, put them in Bis
pocket and buttoned up his coat. Il say"
he began, but the drayman, dropping his
whip, aimed a swinging blow at thespeaker,
which cut the words short. Mr.. Dude
countered, led again with his left, got there,
and then followed with a vicious upper

man on the jaw and Knocked him nearIy

O%SCILLATING SCREENS.

A Butte Invention that Doubles the Capa-
city of Stamp Mills-A Fortune In
Store for the Inventor.
E. Y. Stoughton, the inventor of the
new patent oscillating battery screens, now
has them working very successfully at the
Silver Bow mill. When he first put them
in he failed to get the right movement on
them, and they would not work through
any more ore than with ordinary station
airy screens. He has kept improving them,
and on Monday last got the right move
ment on them. and their daily work now
proves them to be a vast improvement on
stationary screens. With the oscillating
screens the Silver Bow mill now puts
through four tons of ore to each stamp
daily against two tons with the old screens,
thus doubling the capacity of the mill.
With the old process tho pulp clogged
I'M the screens and accum.
ulated around the stamps. preventing a
rapid discharge. The oscillation OF the new
screens keeps them clear and accelerates
the discharge, doubling the work OF the mill.
Mr.. Stoughton's invention will doubtless
revolutionize the milling and mining bust
ness to some extent, making it possible to |
work ores of a much lower grade to a
profit. Being a Butte invention, Mr..
screens should be adopted by
every mill in the district, not only for
economic reasons, but also to start the
manufacture OF the screens to supply the
rest of mining world. |

It is pleasing to note that the business
men of Butte are becoming imbued with a
spirit of progression, born of the convic.
ton that the city is about to become the
greatest mining, smelling. and commercial
city OF the Rocky Mountain region. 1t is
fully believed that the population will
double within a year after the arrival of
the first Montana Central locomotive, and
that certain preparations should be made
for that increase of population. The city
is already provided with four indispensable
metropolitan features, which can be made
to serve a much larger than tho present
population. These are the water, gas, and
electric light works, and the street railroad.
Several citizens are now preparing to or

BIGAMY.
But His First Still Lives, and May MAJ
the Happiness of His Second.

BUTTE, January 2.-To the Editor o.
The MNER.-If a man marries in Canada,
and his wife leaves him, and he does not
support her for three years, nor in seven
| years, do the Canadian laws declare him
divorced? If he did marry again, what
would be the consequences? A READER.
The Canadian courts would not declare
q divorce off-hand. If the wife sued for a
divorce on the ground that her husband
failed to contribute to her support, or that
she was obliged to leave him on account of
ill treatment, she might get it. The cor
respondent fails to explain why his wife
left him, and why he failed to support her.
It is very difficult to persuade a Canadian
court to grant a divorce on any ground,
and the common custom for the Canadian
husband who feels that he must have one
is to go to Indiana or Illinois, remain there
until he becomes a citizen and then make
application backed by documentary evil
dence from Canada showing good cause. 1t
is hard to say what would be the conse-
guences of a second marriage without a
divorce from the first wife. but the enquirer
is advised to move to some other country
say New Guinea-if he takes such a step.
It would not be safe to do SO and remain
in this country. The chances are that the
first wife would be on his trail with blood
in her eye just as soon as she heard of it,
and she would be pretty sure to
hear of it.. Upon arrival she would make
things decidedly tropical for Mrs. Reader
No. 2 and for Mr.. Reader himself.
She would become a haunting Mem sis,
taking upon herself the execution of the
DEGREES of a strict r%etributive providence,
the awful avenger of a violation of the
sacred contract entered into by Mr..
Reader and herself, and her vengeance
would not be appeased with anything
short of several ~fistfuls OF hair from the
head OF No. 2, and the eternal dis.
comfiture of the much married husband.
That she would prefer a charge of bigamy
against the latter, goes without saying,
but shat alone would not begin to satiate
her thirst for vengeance. Mr.. Reader
may possibly have heard that
hath no fury like a woman scorned,'
and he may rest assured that Mrs. Reader
No. 1 would take the second marriage up
in just the same spirit as if a big chunk Of
hit her fair on her delicately chiseled
nose. The writer confesses hat in
to answer the above queries,
he is cropping his way through the fog OF his
own indescribably dense ignorance on all
in that connection, but he would
face John L. Sullivan for half a
rounds than takesuch a step as that
so cheerfully contemplated by Mr.. A.

learned that speculation has forced Chill
bars of 96 per cent fine s3 to "a per ton
higher than English copper refined to 99h
per cent. At that date the rise in stocks
OF the three Spanish Copper Companies
amounted to upwards of $4,000, 600.
The IMPORTS into England for 1887 amount
