the hope he would be able to rally has
well nigh been abandoned. There has
been several occurrences of heart dis.
ease, each attack has apparently lift
him weaker than the previous one. and it
Is becoming more and more difficult to rally
him. His breathing has become Iabored
and heavy and his lungs are gradually
getting more and more edematons.
The presence OF edema has been
again noticed in thelegs, and this indicates
that the circulation of blood is growing
more feeble. General Sheridan remains per-
ectIy conscious and rational and suffers az, |
pain except arising from difficult iii
breathing. The action of the, heart varies |
constantly. Sometimes the heart win be |
acting with good deal OF vigor and The |
lext moment the whole situation will be |
hanged and its action will become futter-
ng and weak.

Mr.. Lynch then called for vote on his
motion to raise bonds and to dispose OF
the question as to the amount to be raised
after the several committees had deter
mined the amount needed.
Mr.. Monteath thought the committees
should report first and then raise the money
needed.
MIR. PETTEs WAS OF THE OPINION
that the Council should itself know the
amount it was necessary to raise before
asking the people to vote upon the ques.
| tion, and that it was necessary for the
Council first to resolve to raise the amount
and then for the several committees TO con-
| Ter and find out what that amount should
be and the Council then could submit the
question to vote
Mr.. Monteath then stated that the Office
OF city surveyor had been overlooked and
Gnought the office should be created and

Mr.. Lynch again called for his motion

tnat the city electors should grant the

W4TER WORKS.
The Very Important Report of the ways
and Means Committee Accepted-The
Motor Line Extension Matter and the
Water Works Question Referred-A
Mass of-Miscellaneous Business.

There was large attendance OF the City
the legislative board last night and full
seomplement of reporters lurking about.
alderman Sargent presided with dignity
and grace and ruled with precision. After
/ the transaction of some rantine business
the report Of the Ways and Means Com
naittee was read by Chairman Pettes, In a
clear, business voice, devoid Of any emotion
as subioined, which was promptly accepted:
THE WAYS AND MEANS REPORT.
YoUR HONOR AND GEsELEMEN: The d.
ties devolving upon your Committee of
Ways and Means, OF which have the hon.
or TO be chairman, are very important.
This is period in the history OF Butte
when radical changes and marked improve
ments are demanded. The one calls for the
exercise OF most careful and intelligent
judgment, and the other will require cool
headed. clear minded and willing handed
executive ability.
The question of expenditures is one OF
value, rather than of volume. [ believe
that all good citizens OF Butte will indorse
any additional outlay decided upon by this |
Council, if that outlay contemplates the |
general welfare OF the people and our prac-
ticai advancement as city. The people |
have asked for an abundant supply OF pure |
water. They have called for an efficient
police system. They desire that we shall |
provide adequate protection from fire, and |
They request that permanent improve
nents be made in our streets and alleys.
We have annexed to our corporate limits a
arge area OF territory that is as vet un-
provided with any system of lighting, and
,he very important matter OF sewerage has
heretofore been entirely overlooked. Not
our willingness to provide all
II these improvements, there is only one
vay by which the people can obtain them,
md that way is by paying for them. This
'oard can plan and execute, but the tax
ayers OF the city OF Butte must pay the
ills.
The Council has already provided for
expenditures fully covering the maximum
i taxation permitted by law. Mr.. Sar
ent OF the Finance Committee has sub
nitted the following items of fixed expense :

Mob at Viroqua. Wisconsin.
| VIRoQUA, Wis, June 1.-Andrew Grand.
staff IL. W. was captured while in bed
last night by Pinkeoton detectives and two
local officers. To-day detectives pumped q
full confession out of him. He intended to
| rob old man Drake, but was unable to
make him disclose the place where the
| family y valua bes were hidden. This led 70
uuv nInIus. mrs. DrsUKc dUuempUeu TO shoot
Grandstaff and he killed her in the presence
OF two children. To prevent the little ones
telling, he cut their throats. Grandstaff
has been known as an ignorant, but eun-
ming, daring semi-desperado. He has been
participant In several affrays and an as
sociate OF hard characters. Little is known
OF his antecedents only that he was of
iilegitimate birth.
THE LYECHING.
At an early hour tonight 1000 deter.
mined men surrounded the jail, but the au.
thorities refused to give up the prisoner.
The barricades were then broken down and
tie officers we're oTerPe#efed. An hour
was spent in breaking down the steel case
and then the prisoner fought with the
desperation OF Jury against the mob that
sought to enter. The struggle did not last
long and he was taken out, bound hand
and foot, led to the porch below, and there
preparations were mad to hang him. A
rope was placed ground his neck and the
prisoner asked what he had to say. He
PROTESTED HIS INNOCENCE,
but it was known he had made full con.
fession in the afternoon and he was not be-
lieyed. The scene at the Jail was horrible.
The prisoner was covered with blood, hav
ing been terribly mang!ed, while the steel
cage was being battered down. At 12:45 q.
m. the mob has just hung him te tree in
front OF the Court House and let him down
to see il he would confess. He will probably
not come to. 80.
LATER-Grandstaf refused to make a
confession to the lynchers, and after some
time they strung him up again. When
lowered the second time he was dead.
