CHICAGO, May 6.-The Times will print IA
statement to the effect that the Veteran
Union League Of Chicago, of which the
late General Martin BEEN was a member,
will probably hold meeting to discuss
measures for investigating the mystery OF
his supposed suicide in Nebraska. Mrs.
BEEN arrived here to-day from Alton,
where she attended the burial OF the dead
soldier. A new feature OF the case is her
statement that the general attempted to
murder her before he shot himself. This
does not correspond with previous
VERSIONS OF THE TRAGEDY
received in Chicago and supposed to have
been derived originally from Mrs BEEN.
They were in effect that the two shots fired
were both directed by the General against
himself. Mrs. Beems statement here IL
that she was awakened by feeling pistol
in the bands Of the General being pressed
against her and that the discharge was de-
fected by her throwing up her arm, the
ball cutting hole in her dress at the
shoulder. General BEEN, she says i'm
nediately turned the weapon upon himself
and died almost instantly.

the final completion of the main line Of the

Dillon Drippings.

DILLON, May 4.-[Correspondence of the
Miner. 1.-The unusual down-pour to which
the inhabitants OF our valley have been
treated for the past two weeks has cast
a wet blanket upon all amusements OF a
social character. Under the dampening
influence OF the elements, society seems to
have wilted effectually or to have resolved
itself into a committee of ways and means,
with view to checking the flow of the
'pearly drops" which patter through the
ceilings OF their domicies, or gauging the
amount of superfiuous soil which is dis
tributed over the interior regions. The
situation is indeed dispiriting. SO much so
that only few days since the Baptist
minister, who is, of course, averse to any
thing except total immersion, was dis
covered upon his house-tep in a devout
humbly mailing few shingles where
they would do the most good.

THE BRETHREN DODGED.

The Rights of Women In Church Work
Left to Future Conferences and the
Issue Thereby Evsded.
New YoRK, May Bishop Ninde pre-
sided at to-day's session of the Methodist
Episcopal conference. The debate on the
admission OF women as delegates was con-
tinued and forty-one delegates at once
claimed the floor, Rev. FL. 81. Moore, OF the
Erie Conference. was recognized. He spoke
in favor OF admitting the women. Rev. T.
j. Edwards, editor OF the Northwestern
Advocate, opposed admission at the pres
ent time and favored the submission OF the
question to vote OF the church. Judge
Taylor, from the st. Louis conference,
urged the squestion on constitutional
Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1888-05-09


to be voted on. he said, and If the womer
were admitted and it should be subse
quently decided that women were not en-
titled to seats. the acts OF the present Con
ference would be
ILLEGAL AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Rather than have the women admitted on
non-constitutionality he would pay al
their expenses. He favors the admission OF
women, but wants the question submitted
to vote OF the church and have them ad-
mitted on legal grounds. DR.. Bayliss, Of
the Cincinnati conference. argued that If the
general conference had the power to con
strue the constitution in regard to the ad
mission of local preachers, it had the right
to construe the law in regard to the eligi-
bility of women.
THE DEBATE CLOSED
about o'clock and the vote was taken on
the adoption OF Moore's substitute for the
report OF the committee. It proposes that
women elected as lay delegates to the pres
mt conferences be seated and their eligi-
1ility left to future general conferences to be
by a vote of the churches and
'he annual conferences. The substitute
vas lost. Then the vote was taken upon
he amendment to the report Offered by
Dr.. Neely. This amendment excludes
women. from seats ia the present conference
md submits the question Of eligibility to
uture general conferences and to the anil
lual conferences, which was adopted by a |
Ote OF 249 ayes to 173 nays.

BATES rs. HAWKINS,
Possibility of Prize Fight Between the
Two Men.

Possibility of q Prize Fight Between the
| Two Men.
| In the sporting columns OF the Helena In
dependent of Sunday the following ap-
peared: When Bates returned to Butte
from San Francisco he expressed desire
to meet any man OF his class in the Terri
| tory. Billy Hawkins has decided to &C.
| commodate him, and last night his backer
| made a deposit OF $50 with Louis Mathe-
son, OF the Capital saloon, for a match.
Hawkins is willing to make match with
Bates for fight for $500 side and a
purse OF $500, the fight to be under Blan-
chard's fair play rules, with the exception
that kid gloves or gloves not exceeding two
ounces in weight are to be used. The $50
deposit is put up as a guarantee OF ex-
penses to Bates and his hackers if they
come over from Butte, and the two parties
fail to agree to reasonable terms. This is
the chance that Bates has been looking for,
80 there is no doubt but the match will be
made.
WHAT BATES SAYS.
Last evening Bates called at The MINER
Office and was shown the above. After
looking it over carefully, he asked permis-
sion to take the paper and show it to his
backer, which was granted. Shortly after
he returned and requested THE MINER to
announce that tomorrow Wednesday,
Evan Morgan, representing his hacker,
would proceed to Helena to talk fight.
Bates further said that he was anxious to
fight, but would be satisfied with the $500
aside stake money. Heidi not know much
about the purse business and did not care
for it., as il it should run short OF the re-
quired $500 there might he some quibble.
Upon one point he was positive. He would
not fight under the Blanchard rules, for he
knew nothing of them, but he would fight
either under London prize ring rules or Po-
lice Gazette rules, the fight to take place
four weeks after the signing OF articles. 1t
is probable the rules will be the only stick
ing point, as there must be material diff
ference in the two, else the men would not
be SO particular in regard to them. If they
mean business a match can be arranged
speedily, and if they do not it should be at
once declared draw.
