Isaac Greentree, the Sixteenth street
clothing dealer, closed the doors of his
establishment yesterday after making an
assignment to Henry Altman. The gen
tleman could not be found yesterday and
authentic details of the suspension cannot
be given. 1t is certain, however, that the
assignment is not due to local causes and
all assert that the creditors will be paid
dollar for dollar. 1t is said that when
Mr.. Greentree purchased the business
from Polack, who went into bankruptcy
several months since, he assumed many OF
the Omaha mans obligations. The hold
ers of the Polack paper which had been
transferred to Mr.. Greentree, pushed their
claims unduly and forced the assignment.
The suspension will doubtless be only
temporary, as it is impossible that a
shrewd business man like Mr.. Greentree
has involved himself beyond reparation.

A reck Out West.

Quite a serious collision occurred at
Wilcox station, lis miles west of Chey-
enne, Sunday. A freight train and a
work train bound in opposite directions,
met on the main line. The three loco
motives were somewhat damaged, and
thirteen freight cars were piled in a heap,
many of them being totally wrecked.
The injured, as officially listed at head
quarters of the company in this city are
as follows
Engineer P. W. Montgomery, back
strained.
Brakeman H. Stridron, slightly bruised.
Brakeman John Morris, shoulder
broken and face scratched.
Andy Devine, section hand, shoulder
sprained.
The three first named we're injured by
jumping from the trains.
The accident is ascribed to the careless
ness of the work train crew.

A Splendid Entertainment by the B S.
ton QuInteIte Club.

Cheyenne's musical people were de
lighted With the concert given by the
Boston Quintette club at the P~resbyteria
church last evening. The accomplished
musicians were greeted by a large and
fashionable audience which iully appreci-
ated their selections. The instrumental
ties were the condensation Of the melody
which touches the heart, and the audi
ence became very demonstrative over
several members.
The writer Is a stranger to classical
music and will not pretend to c~riticise the
PefteFmRHees-eElast believing,
in his simplicity, that the rcnditious were
absolutely perfect.
When an audience almost ceases breath
ing until the last note of a solo or quin-
tette has died away and then enthusiast
tically applauds, it is fair to grant that
the acme OF delicate touch and full under
standing has been reached.
Oscar Hentchel, futist, John F.
Rhodes, v~io,inist and Louis Blumenberg,
yiolincellist, deserve especial mention.
The singing Of Anne Carpenter, prima
donna soprano, did not quite come up to
the expectations of her hearers. 1t is
certain that her ballad singing will never
charm audiences as have the efforts of
other sopranos Of fame. She is a large
and handsome blonde, of fine carriage and
dresses becomingly. In answering an
encore on her second appearance she
ceased in the middle of a line with the
explanation that the heat prevented a con.
tinuation. The elevation doubtless affected
her lungs.
The Boston Quintette club is cordially
invited to call again. The Presbyterian
church nets a ueat sum from the proceeds
of the concert and earns the lasting graft
tude of the musical population.

Unyarnished Gall.

As great an exhibition Of genuine, un-
unadulterated gall as one usually encoun-
ters in a years experience about town
came under the observation of a LEADER
representative Yesterday.
One OF the opera house employees was
DESTROYS of washing the windows in Lii
brary hall. OF course his idea was to
perform the task with as little labor as
possible. He ran a line of hose from the
interior to the Seventeenth street side,
and walking into this office borrowed the
telephone and called up Engineer Dow
ney at the pump house. He simply
asked Downey to turn on the fire pres.
sure for a while. so that he could throw a
good strong stream against the second
story windows. The engineer is a cool
man and simply cut off telephone COM
m%unication, but they say he is still in
curing the color of that window washer
hair.

TOO TRUE.
Mr.. Wurtele Resigns on Account of
His Health.

Superintendent Wurtele, of the Wyo-
ming division of the Union Pacific re-
turned from the West Yesterday after
noon and confirmed the reports about his
resignation. He will leave the company
which he has so long, faithfully and effic-
iently served the LIST of December. His
successor is yet 20 be named. but may be
Mr.. G. W. Dickinson of the Montana
Union.
In these days it is a genuine pleasure to
write of a man of whom nothing but good
can be said and the truth adhered to with
puritanical strictness.
The commanding figure, smooth face
and quiet smile of Mr., Wur-
tele have become familiar to many
citizens of Wyoming. He has been here
twenty years and by meritorious service
has won advancement in his chosen call
ing. He is one of the best railway men
in the west and his managerial ability has
never been questioned.
An incident occurring at the depot yes,
terday faithfully portrays the feeling be-
tween Mr.. Wurtele and the employees of
the company. A LEADER representative
conversed with the superintendent on the
platform a few minutes. The interview
over, the latter fastened to his Office in
the depot. The reporter was instantly
surrounded by railway men and piled with
questions anent the conversation. When
told what MI. Wurtele had said in regard
to the resignation every man in the party
expressed sorrow over the event. we
lose a true friend" was the universal SEN
timent as the news spread about.
Mr.. Wurtele will spend the winter in
Southern California and afterwards take
up a permanent residence in Salt Lake,
He has large business interests in Utah
and Western Wyoming which will engage
his attention.
The press gang regrets the superlntend-
ent's departure as much as the railway
men, merchants and citizens generally.
He has been a good friend to the re-
pOrters,

A BUSY COURT DAY.
Two Jury Trials and Another Well
Under Way.
The Grand Jury Returns One In
dictment.
The Argesheimer Divorce Case in
the Evening.

The grand jury was in session all of
yesterday, and it was a busy day in the
district court. Two jury trials were had
and a third commenced ere an adjourn
ment for supper was taken. In addition
there was an evening session devoted to
the Argesheimer divorce case.
Michael Fitzgerald was given a taste OF
speedy justice. He was incarcerated
about ten days since for the theft of a
diamond pin from a railway employe. A
verdict of guilty as charged in the iudict-
ment was returned, and the value of the
property involved fixed at $}3. so, making
the crime only petit larceny. 1t is sus.
pected that the jury was lenient on ac-
count of Fitzgerald's physical i~nfrmity,
he having but one Leg. The Fitzgerald
jury included: j. NJ. Newman, E. r.
Hurd, Fred LaPashe, Jas. P. Julien, c.
f. Hall, John Morrison, H. E. HUGH.
craft, S. Kelluer. John Mclaughlin. p.
f. Powelson, A. II. Hord and Frank
Ketchum.
Genteel appearing Frank Wilbur has
learned hat divergence from the straight
and narrow path of righteous rectitude is
punished as quickly in Wyoming as else
where. About three months ago he
made false representations to Zehner,
Buechner & Co., and secured possession
of a watch, which he quickly pawned.
Wilbur was ap%prehended when about to
leave the city. He was convicted Of lar
ceny as bailee and the stolen property ap-
praised at $43.
The twelve men Judging between Will
bur and the territory were: VIM. Knabe,
j. w. Hopper, Thomas MCGEE, G. NJ.
Kepler, VIM. Murphy, D. d. Moore,
John Myers. Geo. F. Inman, John Ohm
haus, Henry Hoffman, VIM. Welchans
and S. Merrill.
j. .. Van Dyke is a natty young fellow
charged with grand larceny. The specii
cation is to the effect hat he took advan-
tage of a bibulous individual on Sixteenth
street about three months ago and re-
moved a goodly sun In cash from his
helpless victims pockets. Trial of this
case will be resumed this morning,
The Van Dyke iurymen are: ia. Max
well, Z. r. Hurd, j. P. Julian, John
Morrison, s. Kellner, P. F. Powelson, j.
NJ. Newman, Fred La Pash, G. f. Hall,
H. e. Huchcraft, John Mclaughlin, A.
Fl. Hord.
A very pleasant incident in yesterdays
court proceedings was the admission of
Ed. j. Churchill to the bar. The gentle
man passed a very creditable examination
before the committee assigned to pass
upon his qualifications. Mr.. Churchill
has been for some time in the Office of
Corlett, Lacey 4 Riner, and besides being
a young man of education and much nat
ural ability, is an expert stenographer and
an aggressive and logical debater. As an
attorney he should be successful.
In the evening Chas. Argesheimer was
placed on the stand to rebut his wife's
testimony. He denied in toto her allega-
lions as to cruelty and ~non-support. The
hearing in this case will probably be con-
Guided this evening.
As the result of its days laboIs the
grand jury returned one indictment, a
true bill charging Jas. Ford with cattle
stealing.
Court adjourned to 9 o'clock this morn
ing.

PRoBlN THE STRIKE.

The Congressional Committee Still TAX
ing Testimony at HazIetOn-HOw Miners
are BIed.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Feb. 24.-The congress
sional committee inquiry was resumed
this morning. The first witness was
Thomas Campbell, of Freeland. His evil
dence related to company store
charges for general merchandise. He
stated that the cOmpany's store prices
were 160 per cent. higher than
those cash stores in 1880. Investiga-
tion showed them in 1887 to be from
90 to 70 per cent. higher; later on he
was unable to give a positive rate of
prices. He was followed by Thos. A.
Buckley, of Freeland, who stated that he
had foil lowed the occupation of mining
all his life. He thought the corporations
could pay better wages. The average
pay had dropped since 1881 to the presen Mt
time from 1891 per day to about $35 per
month, or about one half, while mine
supplies had been reduced less than one
third. After de failing the mode of taxing
the mine workers and coal lands he was
dismissed and the committee placed A.
Pardee, ST., of the firm of A. Pardee 65
Co., on the stand. He believed the strike
to have been caused by agitators who had
led the men astray. He had always
listened to any grievance presen ted to
him by his own workmen, but would not
pay any attention to the leaders of
organized labor.

A MODERN WONDER.

A Machine Destined to iCrsate a RevOIu-
tiOn in the Manufacture of Shaped Ar
ticies of Iron and Steel.
FTTCHBURG, Mass. Feb. 25.-The one
hundred and fifty members of the Amer
lean Institute of Mining Engineers, now
holding in Boston the eighteenth annual
meeting of the Institute, visited this city
yesterday to examine the Simonds roll
ing machine, a new device which is des-
tined to revoluti onize the manufacture of
metals. 1t may be briefly described as
machine in which two fat surfaces, ,eacting
vertically or horizontally, and moving
in opposite directions, with adjust
able dies fixed upon them, roll
in one motion a piece of metal
of regular or irregular shape, and in
almost any pattern desired. At a single
stroke Of the mechanism may be obtained
a sphere, a cone, a chair-screw, a bolt
with thread and head, a car or carriage
axle and an endless variety of other
forms. The visiting experts were amazed
and delighted. "It is the greatest
thing in half a century," said one.
sit marks new era in the
manufacture Of iron and steel,n said an
other. ''It is the application of a new
principle in mechanics" said a third;
and so the comment ran. This extra
ordinary machine has only become known
lately to experts, and has only just now
been made known to the general public.

Itrained nearly all day. coming down in
torrents. The beautiful weather which
had favord the place the last four days
made many of the grief-stricken ones, in
the hurry and confusion, forget the possi-
bility of rain, and they had piled up what
few ar ticles of household goods they were
fortunate enough to save right in the
open air, throwing sheets or tarpaulins
over them as protection. Yesterday
morning these things were left to the
mercy of the wind and rain. Shin
giles, roofing material and glass are

than provisions. What few shingles
were in town have all been used, mostly
by the janitor of the large State Supreme
Court building, which was completely un-
rooted. This building, which is being
used as a hospital, and two of the wards
have no protection from the elements.
