Maguire's Opera house Monday evening:
Last evening large number OF admirers

bled at the Columbia to witness the world
renowned tragedienne Janauschek in q
grand production of the musical and ro-
mantle play, a dramatization OF Sir
Walter Scott's novel of Guy Mannering,
entitled Meg Merrilies." The character
of Meg Merrilies is one calling for an
artist thoroughly schooled and educated
in the most difficult and arduous lines OF
professional labor and gifted with the
genius peculiarly adapted to the inter
probation of complex charasters. BENG
thus qualified in the higher ranks OF dram
attic art Mme. Janauschek is eminently
fitted to wear the mantle OF the late Char
lotte Cushman. She has voice that
thrills and slectriies. and by its pleading
tones of anguish she wins from the strong
est heart emotion and sympathy. Sne
holds her audience spell-bound by more
than wonderful magnetism and power OF
eloouence. After long career she is still
the true representative OF the heroic IN
drama, still the great artistic whose meth
ods are models. She 10 an actress VINO

THE TOTAL LOSS.
WASHINGTON BRIEFS.

Behring Sea Fishing.

Presidential Appointments Restriction of
Behring Sea Fishing.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-The President
made the following appointments, this
afternoon:
Solomon Husch OF Oregon, minister to
Turkey; Clark E. Carr of Illinois, minister
to Denmark; Henry W. Severance of Cali.
fornia, consul-general at Honolulu; John
Jarrett of Pennsylvania, consul at Bir-
mingham; Thomas Fl. Sherman OF the Dis
trict of Columbia, consul at Liverpool.
Under the action OF March 2, Behring
sea will be placed under the same restric-
tion as regards fishing as the Salmon river
OF this country. President Harrison has
designated the revenue cutters Bear and
Rush to patrol Behring sea and arrest all
fishermen who attempt to violate the new
law. A large number OF sealers had fitted
out at the New England ports and San
Francisco and had started for the Beh-
ring sea fisheries before the law passed.
Their owners want to recall them, but
have no way to communicate with the ves-
sells. Therefore the treasury department
authorizes the Bear and Rush to carry the
letters tu the sealers from the owners.
Applications for pensions are beginning
to come in at the pension Office from the

widow of Captain Schoonmaker filed her
claim, a few days ago, and it has been
submitted for allowance. The pension will
amount to $50 per month. To-day a
colored woman, whose son was employed
on one OF the lost vessels, appeared at the
pension Office and filed her claim for a
pension.

tion and fame. As boy he was page in

Parties Who Have Found Marriage an Able
Bodied Failure.
But four divorce cases doomed mp in the
district court yesterday and disposition oi
them was made as follows:
Charlotte Harvey who thinks that her
earthly happiness can be complete only by
being released from her "civil contract
with Samuel Harvey had her complaint
heard. Samuel defaulted and note OF
the fact was made and the court issued an
order setting aside it's former order ap.
pointing J. e. Carne referee and the referees
oath was withdrawn.
Lydia A. Smith, another victim of mis-
placed confidence, went into ecstacies, and
from there out into the rain, when Judge
DeWolfe attached his signature to decree
granting her q divorce from Henry Smith.
Mary A. Polglase was the next one who
had come to the conclusion that married
life was not as represented and prayed for
divorce from Thomas Polglase. The
case was ordered placed on the calendar
and John Curtis, Esq. was appointed
referee to hear testimony.
Anna e. Davis VS.. Henry Davis was the
next case. An order was made withdraw
ing the referees report and permission was

THE FIELD OF HONAH.
Possibilities That Real Duel Will Soon
Enliven Butte.

Enliven Butte.
The very pleasant relations that have
heretofore existed between certain miner
and q shower OF the insinuating jack-plane,
both residents OF the western part of the
city, have been sundered, and an addition
to Butte's mortuary list is feared by the
friends Of the two.
A misunderstanding about business
matter arose, which the miner allowed to
enter into their social relations, and inti'
mated to the shaving-maker that hereafter
they would meet as strangers. To this hint,
however, the follower of the humble Nazer-
enc paid no attention, but insisted on call
ing at the house of the drill pounder. a
few evenings ago the latter went home and
found the carpenter occupying the easy
chair in his parlor and making himself de.
cidedly agreeable to the female portion ol
the house. The tunnel-pusher demonstrated
and requested he of the spokeshave to
withdraw. The latter resented the invita-
tion vigorously and declared that he was
"a gentleman, sab, b-g'd sah," and then
an there challenged his offender to meet
him on the field of ''honah," mysterious
somewhere lighted up by the pale beams ol
a calm mountain moon. The invltatlon
was accented, and duel will follow as ssoou
as the necessary preliminaries are ar
ranged. But one, and that a serious hitch
exists - the men cannot agree upon
weapons. The carpenter insists on fght
inc with crosscut saws, and the miner viii
agree to nothing but tamping rods.

THOSE CHARGES.
Absence of Mr.. Lewis, Prevents Meet
ing of Special Council Committee.

Absence of Mr.. Lewis, Prevents Meet
ing of Special Council Committee.
As, is naturalle to be supposed, the prin-
cipal topic OF conversation ON the streets,
and in public places, yesterday, was the
charge made by Alderman Lewis rejecting
upon the official honesty of certain men,
bers of the old council, especially
upon Mr.. Wynne, chairman of the
police committee. The matter was
thoroughly discussed, and truthiulness
be made that the charges
were generally discridited and public opin.
ion seemed to be that Mr.. Lewis had either
allowed his prejudice to get the better OF
him or else that he had been imposed upon
and was the victim of some ones scheming
and plotting.
Mr.. Wynne, the gentleman most serious
ly affected by the charges, informed The
MINER that the animus of Mr.. Lewis at
tack lay in the fact that
he, Mr.. Wyrno, had recon-
mended the appointment of Officer James
as q member OF the police force. For per-
sonal reasons Mr.. Lewis was opposed to
James appOlntmenU, ana Wnlle IL was De-
ing considered by the council, in caucus for
that purpose, Mr.. Lewis asked Mr.. Wynne
to Withdraw the Objectionable name. This
Mr.. Wynne refused to do, whereupon Mr..
Lewis told him, with much bitterness, that
he "would show him Mr.. Wynne) up"
Mr.. Wynne aisnltied his willingness that the
showing ny process should proceed.
Yeste rday afternoon Messrs. Mueller and
Mulville. of the committee to which the
matter was referred for investigation, met
at the Office OF the former, but the other
member of the committee, Mr.. Lewis him
self, was not present. Efforts were made
to find him but without success. Finally
his office on South Main street was
reached by telephone and response was
made that Mr.. Lewis had gone out
OF town and would not return until to-day,
possibly about noon. Upon receipt OF this
Information the other members adjourned
until to-day at 10 o'clock when it is
thought Mr.. Lewis will be back and the in
vestigation will be proceeded with.
Nr. Wynne is very anxious that the mat
ter shall be thoroughly sifted and present
Indications are that much litigation, ex-
pensive to somebody will grow out OF the
charges as final outcome.

About Train Connections.

Although the new time card fails to show
it, the south bound Union Pacific train,
leaving here at 7:5Op. M, is held nightly at
Silver Bow Junction to await the arrival ol
the incoming Montana Union train from
Garrison, which is due at 9 O'Clock. This is
done in order that passengers bound south
coming from Anaconda, Garrison, Mis-.
soula, Philipsburg and points beyond can
make through connections the same day
It is not generally known, but passengers
for Salt Lake, Denver and New Mexico and
many Idaho and Oregon from points on
the Northern Pacific as far west as the
Ceur d'Alene, make the trip via the Mon
tana Union and Union Pacific, and as that
class of travel is heavy, all possible ar
rangements are made for it's comfort and
convenience.

Photopraphers Forming a Trust.

BUFFALO, May 16.-Agents have been
working here several days in the interest OF
a gigantic combination of the photograph
ers of the United States and all copying
houses if possible to be combined into one
association. The association already has
40 900 members. The photographers are
graded according to their excellence and
allowed to charge for work according to q
scale established for the several grades.
The usual plan of crushing out those who
do not come into the association, it is
understood, is to be pursued, that is, to
put the price SO low that they cannot
stand opposition.
