BERNHARDT,s DEAD HUSBAND.
The Morphine-Eater's Fantastic Greek
Funeral.

The ACCOMPLISHMENTS Fantastic Greel
Funeral.
New York, special OF August %: Ths
Worlds" Paris cable dispatch says
Only by the death OF Damala do the public
learn what Sarah Bernhardt had to beaI
from him in the last three years. 1t is an
open secret hat his death wal brought on
by overdoses of morphine and cocaine.
Bernhardt has done her best to wean her
husband from this habit, even employing a
mesmerist to put him to sleep at night
after returning from the theater. But
Damala, while processing to his wife to be
cured, bought drugs in secret. Quantities
of them were found in his bedroom after
his death. They robbed him of all his
strength OF body and mind.
Sarah, after a public funeral, had a real
funeral according to Greek rites. The dead
man was dressed in full evening costume
and placed in an arm chair, around which
were lighted candles in large numbers.
Prayers for the dead were recited by the
archimandrite, assisted by four priests.
The only persons present were Sarah Bern.
hardt and her sister. Mime. Gregosie, a few
OF the deceased and the police in
OF the district.

and was insured for Sc, 900. One Of the
Quinns was seen. and he said that the build
ing wal worth considerable more. but re-
fused to set q value upon it.
The loss to Davis u CO., and the people
who kept their horses in the barn, cannot
be even appropriated at this writing, as it
is not known how many horses escaped.
The damage, however. is great and win
amount to fully 5 1000 or 8 1000.
Henry Roberts and Andy Glenn, two
men employed in the barn, slept down
stairs in the Office and three or four men
were sleeping upstairs. These all escaped.
but so rapid was the progress OF the flames
that they were unable to save anything ex-
cepting just enough clothing to cover their
persons. Roberts stated that when he
emerged from the building the front doors,
facing on Montana street, were open and
the fire was bursting out Of a door in the
southeast corner of the building, upstairs,
used only when hay was being put into the
loft. The portion OF the building in which
the fire seemed to have originated was
never allowed to be entered by anybody
carrying q light of any kind, neither was
smoking permitted there.
1t is thought the fire was the work oil an
incendiary as the barn was closed for the
night at 10 o'clock and no light was burn
ing in any part of it at the time.
The barn was destroyed completely and
half an hour after the fire was discovered
it was a bed of smouidering embers.
AND STILL ANOTHER
just an hour after the first alarm, several
pistol shots were fred on lower Main street,
and in a moment thereafter the bell on the
city hall was sounding a second alarm for
q fire located about in the center OF
the block bounded by Mercury, Gale
ma, Main and Wyoming streets. A
small frame barn belonging to Jack Dowd
was burning, and although the iremen had
not yet got through taking up" from the
Davis fire, a stream OF water was soon
ON the flames which were speedily
and before much damage wal
done.
Like the first, the second fire also started
in the hay loft and seemed to more strongly
the belief of everybody that fire
bugs have taken u quarters in the city and
are determined to burn down the town if
possible.
The pressure furnished by the water COM
pany at both fires was simply excellent,
and the firemen say that never have they
thrown as strong and steady streams as
they threw this morning.

Fort Benton "River Press" The recent
destructive prairie fire in the vicinity of
Culbertson will prevent cattle shipments
from that point to a considerable extent
this fall. Heretofore the fee around those
stock yards has been excellent and many
cattle were to have been loaded there, but
since the fire has destroyed all the grass the
stock will have to be loaded at other points.

lew days that it's native lode has beer
found. A dozen or fifteen years ago, two
mines were worked for gold neal Idaho
City. The result was not Satisfactory, and
the mines were abandoned.
A brick from those early workings wal
pronounced largely plumbago. This old
brick has been in the way in one Of
our banking houses, where it caught
the eye Of DIR. Binans, a delegate to the
constitutional convention from Shoshone
county. The doctor is a mining expert,
and he thought he discovered tin in the old
brick; SO begged a piece, which was submit
ted to an assay, and which revealed the
interesting fact that ~ per cent of the
mixture OF metals was tin.
The doctor learned from his fellow dele.
gate, Hon. Geo. Ainslie. the location of-two
mines, and since the adjournment OF the
convention these two worthy gentlemen
have relocated the same, and the indica-
tions are hat we have at least two good
tin mines in Idaho.

Tried for Petty Larceny and Acquitted-To
Answer q Graver Charge.
G. ". Bressler, the gentleman who is get.
ting round-shouldered carrying a $4,000
character and reputation over the country,
was tried for petty larceny before Justice
Hopkins yesterday. The splendid tact OF
his attorney and the verdict of a jury oil
six citizens acquitted him of the charge and
he was released from custody, and he will
now have time to pack that valuable,
$4,000 character he has in cotton batting
and protect it from a cold world. Mr..
Manassas, who secured his arrest and re-
turn from Deer Lodge, says that he is not
through with him yet. and announced his
intention OF leaving for Dillon last night to
file information against him charging him
with embezzlement. Mr.. Mannassa claims
to have a clear case against Bressler and
says that he proposes to push it for all
there is in it. The reason for filing the
additional charge against Bressler at Dillon
is that the offense alleged against him was
committed in B~eayerhead county.
Pending the receipt of the SIS, 900 for
which Bressler has sued The MINER. he will
probably engage in something more likely
to gain him a livelihood and at the same
time prove more remunerative than sitting
around waiting for a "big stake" with
which to lure the tiger from his lair.

pumping station with the ten-inch main at
Park street. The pipe was ordered by tele-

here within two weeks. The order was
placed by telegraph, the company deeming
it advisable no. to await the slower pro-

that the company intends placing a pump
on the north side OF the railroad tracks, to
be used in case OF emergency, and when

With the enlarged pipes and increased

every hydrant and every loot OF hose in the
city were in use at the same time.

A Physicians Exciting Experience with
an Insane Patient.
Indianapolis, Ind, special OF August II:
DR.. Calvin Fletcher, a well-known physician
OF this city, had a terrible experience with
6 mailman at an early hour yesterday
morning. The doctor heard cries OF muir.
der in a drug store near his residence and
Fastening to the scene found Rudolph II.
Root, a prominent German citizen, chasing
the proprietor OF the drug store with a dag
ger.
As soon as he recognized the doctor he
started at him, but Fletcher stopped and
caught the mailman by the lower limbs and
threw him to the floor. Catching a firm
hold Of his wrists he held him till the drug
gist came to his assistance. Root appeared
to recognize his condition at that moment
and quietly surrendered his knife. Fletcher
placed him in a buggy, with the intention OF
taking him to the central station, and got
in beside him.
They had hardly gone a block when a
struggle ensued. The maniac, catching the
doctor by the throat and bending down on
the seat of the buggy, tried to secure the
knife which the doctor had taken from him.
The doctor maintained his presence of
mind throughout, and managed to protect
himself from serious harm till passers.by
came to his assistance. The mailman was
finally locked up. Last evening he was
sent to the insane asylum for treatment.
