Further Legal Proceedings Dropped and
an Amicable Settlement of h Barry
Mackenzie FAX Reached.
Yesterday afternoon the parties to the
Barry.MacKenzie fake came to a settlement
that ended the contest between Harring-
ton and Sheriff Lloyd over the gate
money. 1t will be remembered that Sheriff
Lloyd took possession Of the gate money
after that discreditable exhibition at
Turner Hall some weeks ago, and has held
it since. The referee gave the fight to
Mackenzie, and Harrington, rs his hacker,
brought suit in the Probate Court for the
recovery tof the gate money in Sheriff
Lloyd's possession amounting to $751;.
65, which he won. The Sheriff
had an indemnifying bond from
Lacey, Leblanc and others, who
were backing Barry, which lapsed
when the suit ended in the Probate
Court. Negotiations had been in progress
after the suit between the Harrington and
Lacey parties and an agreement was
reached that Harrington should receive the
gate money while Lacey received $50 oil
the stakes that had been held by Michael
Gill as stakeholder. Lacey lac begun suit
against the latter for this amount, which
was the proportion of the stakes he had
put mp for Barry, which suit is to be with
| drawn he paying the costs. Lacey also
pays the costs OF the suit in the Probate
Court. Thus ends what, it is to be h )ped
will be the last hippodrome glove contes
in Butte for all time to come.

The Board of Trade Committee Seeking
Information on the Subject.
One OF the members Of the committee ap-
pointed by the Board OF. Trade was asked
Yesterday if any OF the smelter men had
been visited by them with a view to devils
ing a plan to control the smoke problem.
He replied that the committee are in CORE
spondence with a gentleman from Ana
conda on the subject and might have some
thing to say if a satisfactory reply was
received. at all resolves itself into the
question of cost, " said he. There Is no
other solution OF the subject except the
construction OF q flue to connect all the
smelters and be carried up to the top Of
the mountain to the east of town.
The construction OF such a fiue
is itself entirely a question OF
cost. I am satisfied the money to con-
struct the f1ue will have to be raised by
the townefolk, and l fear that the expense
will be so great as to preclude possibility
OF consideration. OF course, the Board OF
Trade is only concerned at present in de-
itself, and is not concerned with furnish
Iuk OhO 11oLoJ W. ptboA
allow is such a f1ue to be constructed as
that you speak OFF,"
without knowing definitely anything,
| rs the plan has only been mooted, / may
say it is intended to be laid underground,
and to reach from the Colorado sme!ter to
| the Boston and Montana one at Meader'

side OF that to the top. The connections
between the fue and the smelters would, ]
suppose, be made by pipes from the pres

"Would the draft be good in that case? 2
II should say there would be a DRAFT
equal to O hurricane, but that could easily
be regulated by the shelters to suit them

not the least idea what this would cost

PERFECTLY SANE.
A Nights Rest Restores John Duffy to His
Normal Condition.

A Nights Rest Restores John Duffy to His
Normal Condition.
The investigation into the mental condi-
ton OF John Duffy was resumed yesterday
in the Probate Court. The twenty-four
hours rest had done Mr.. Duffy a world OF
good. He was just as sane as any other
man and answered the questions put to
him by DR.. Amsden intelligently and quietly.
He said that it was not often that he came
to town, and when he did he was apt to
take a little more than he ought. That
Frank Brown and he had come to town on
| Tuesday to arrange matters about going
into partnership on the Muldoon mine in
4th Of July district, Mr.. Brown having Of
fered to put in 100000 in the develop
ment OF the property. They had a flask
| apiece with them, of which he partook
freely, and he had no recollection OF what
occurred after he reached town. He was
surprised on awaking yesterday morning
to find himself where he was, and had
no idea how he got there. The jury
found O. verdict that he was perfectly sane.
Mr.. Duffy, in conversation afterwards,
stated that he was the d~iscoverer OF the
Blue Eyed Nellie, aud sold out his share in
it for 500, 900. He claimed to have put
I'D the first machinery in the 4th OF July
district, and has great expectations OF the
Muidoon mine, situated there. Mr.. Brown
was apprehensive that Mr.. Duffy g partners
were getting away with him, and his action
on Tuesday was prompted by the best O
motives, solely from a desire to protect bis
old partner. Judge Irvine gave Mr.. Duffy
some kindly advice, which he took in good
part, and promised to be more abstemious
in future.

They meet at their armory at Turner Hal

hours without intermission, and the con.
sequence is that the company is already
highly proficient in the duties OF q soldier.
A BALL ON FEBRUARY 8.
It has been decided by the Washington
Guards to give a ball on February 8. The
intention is to make it one oil the notable
society events of the season. The most en-
ergetic members have been put on the com.
mtttees to whom the arrangements have
heen confided. 1t was sta tied in confidence
yesterday that the company are deter.
mined tie ball shall be a success if they

THE NEXT ENcAMPMENT.
The subject OF the next place oil encamp-
ment by the Territorial militia next sum-
lner is already forming the topic OF discus
sion among militiamen and the general SEN
timent seems to be opposed to the
neighborhood OF any large town, as the
experiences OF the regiment at tae Helena
fair grounds last summer make a repetition
anything but desirable. 1t is understood
the Helena companies favor an encamp-
u,ent in the neighborhood OF Butte, but
the companies here do not look on the
proposition with favor. "a lodge in a
vast wilderness" miles away from tempta-
ton, would meet the wishes of all who
wish to profit by the encampment.

Interesting Chirographica1 Exhibition
Yesterday in the County Treasurer's
Office.
1t is seldom that the visitors to County
Treasurer Kessler's Office are oppressed by
n food OF light in the apartment. A dim,
religious light generally pervades it. In
addition to the Opaque blue curtains that
the county furnishes, the lower half OF the
windows is screened by rich portieres OF
gorgeous pattern suspended by brass rings
on poles, t rough which daylight struggles
with the rich effect OF amedi@val cathedral
window. These and the other accessories
Of the room, such as q rich Chinese screen
and carved walnut furniture supplied by
the Treasurer himself, are in coDsonance
with the well.known aesthetic tastes OF that
functionary and impress the visitor with
the luxury at the disposal OF the county
officials.
But yesterday the scene within the room
was changed. The blue curtains wert

WASHINGTON, January 8.-About fifty oil

the first and third Mondays OF each month
no dilatory tactics should be resorted to
in order to prevent the passage OF the
measure under a Suspension Of the rules.
After considerable discussion. Springer

was voting and that less than a quorum
could not bind the Democrats who were
absent or who were present and opposed
the resolution. +,

a quorum being raised in a caucus.

Touching Devotion of q soiled Dove for
the Man in Jail for Beating Her.
While the snow was falling thickly yester.
day afternoon. two women were seen cross
ing Park street to the City Hal, bearing
each a basket covered with q napkin.
They made their way into the city prison
that utterly inadequate dungeon basement
where vags and drunks are herded indis-
criminately-and handed TO the jailer the
provisions they had brought for two OF
the men lately .'vagged.n One OF the
women is . welLknown character in the
lower part Of town. She had brought the
basket evidently from one OF the restau-
rants on Broadway. 1t vas for the man
who is serving out q sentence OF sixty
days for brutally assaulting her.
Before he bestowed his attentions upon
her and condescendtd to be supported by
her, she had u thousand dollars in bank,
plenty OF good clothes, not to speak of
jewelry. How she acquired these posses
sions by her unholy trade is not in ques-
ton. She wal "well-fxed" as the saying g,
and what she had was her own. Now,
these belongings have gone-dissipated by

supported f"r nearly year.. He has repaid
her devotion, since such it must be called.
by the basest ingratitude; has treated her
as though all these iavors had been
lavished by him on her. He was
no better than she was. He preyed On
society in his way just as she did in hers
No legal tie bound her to him or compelled
her to throw her possessions at his feet
for him to squander in profigacy. She
was not compelled to live with him. And
yet in spite of all his ill-treatment II Ter
and actual brutality. she clings to him
with a devotion worthy of a better cause.
She has taken his meals to him without
fail every day and when lis term is up she
will be ready to take him back with the
dead certainty that he will treat her no
better han before.
It passes comprehension how the women
who have fallen from all hopes Of decency
and have decended to the lowest condition
OF the daughters of Eve cling with devo-
ton to the wretches on whom they set
their affectionsin spite o treatment at which
q dog would rebel. Instances are almost
OF too common occurrence to awake pass
ing notice, yet they show that even in the
lowest depths OF degradation woman does
not wholly lose those traits that under
purer conditions make her divine.
