The police force, under direction of Mar
shall Coulter, rounded up a number OF indi
viduals yesterday morning at an early
hour who they had reason to believe were
living here without any visible means oil
support and therefore came under the gen.
eral denomination of vagrants. This class
OF nuisance has been increasing ominously
OF late n the Marshal thought it high
time to check it before it got beyond the
power OF the force to handle. The men
were unprecedented just before the night
force went off duty, and their cases were
consequently set for hearing last evening.
Yesterday was Judge ~Lippincott's first W
pearance outdoors since Friday, he having
been confined to the house with q severe
cold and hoarseness which prevents him

In some instances the commitments were
withheld for t~wenty-four hours to give the
defendants time to cave town, it being the
object OF the raid to rid the town OF these

the cost OF their maintenance by impris-

p. m. with the following result:
Charles McGill pleaded guilty and was
fined 500 and costs. The commitment
was withheld until January 1, to give him
time to skip.
John Duffy pleaded not guilty and was

JUDGE WALLACE's decision in the
United States Circuit Court of New York
Monday, In reference to the Arthur Kill
bridge, gives the Pennsylvania Railroad
company damages, the amount to be
hereafter settled. This is a blow at the
Baltimore & Ohio road. The latter has
been struggling for some years to getin-
to New York, and finally secured a right
of-wayto Staten Island. whence ferriape
facilities were secured for New York.
The rivalry between the two companies
SO strong the Pennsylvania fought
the others progress inch by inch. A
severe struggle ensued at Arthur Kill,
the B. & O, however. working its way
and this decision, while it does
not stop progress, will doubtless cause
the B. & O. to be mulcted in a consider
sum.

The Blockade on the Montana Union Re.

At the Offices Of the Montana Union il
was learned yesterday that things are
already assuming a brighter look for the
road. Superintendent Dickinson has been
active in his exertions to relieve the block.
AIDE caused by the accidents to the motive
power of the road and has restored order
already. The blockade existed nearly all
along the line, at South Butte, at the Blue
Bird, at Stuart and at Ross & Hackney's,
where it is nearly all cleaned up. To-day
the road expects to receive two engines
from the Northern Pacific. Two of it's own
engines which were sent to Omaha to be
rebuilt are on the way here and ought to
be here by the end OF the week.
1t was stated yesterday that forty cars
OF Rock Springs coal have come in in the
last three days and that the wants of ali
the mines and smelters in that respect are
being fully supplied. The officers of the
road hav no apprehension, now thai the
has resumed work, but that thew
will be able to keep the smelter supplied to
its full capacity with both ore and coal.

THE COUNTY a I
A Plan to Make the Cage a More EfEectiv
Place of Confinement.

A Plan to Make the Gage a More Effective
Place of Confinement.
The hole through which the prisoners
made their escape out of the cage at the
County Jail was repaired yesterday. A
steel plate 4 feet z inches long, eighteen
inches wide ana three-eighths of an inch
thick was riveted on the outside OF tine hole
secured by two steel bars fve-eighths of an
inch thick the whole length OF the cell, one
inside and the other outside. Speaking OF
the matter yesterday, the Sheriff said it is
his intention to recommend to the County
Commissioners some material alterations
in the construction OF the cage that will
put it out of the power of any other
ail-birds that sigh for freedom be-
fore their time is up to indulge their
desires. On three sides OF the cage there
is a strong lattice work of heavy steel bars.
The Sheriff will recommend that this lattice
work be extended on the fourth side,
through which the prisoners cut the hole,
and over the roo of the cells, alta distance
OF a foot from side and top. so that in
future it will be impossible for any one to
cut his way out. He will then confne the
pflSoHeTS aWdlUlng Trial IN Un0 upper tier
and reserve the lower tier of cells for prison
ers under short sentences as the latter are
safe not to attempt to cut their way out
through the floor.
1t had been supposed that the cell build
ing was made of chilled steel, but the piece
cut out at the side shows that it is con-
structed only Of boiler iron and not a very
strong quality OF that even. 1t did not re-
quire the very fine tools that at first it was
supposed must have been used. Mcclellan,
who is still at large, was the man who ex-
ecuted the job. He is an old Jail bird, it
seems, and this is the fifth Jail he has
broken u OF. The cells had been provided
with a sink in each COMPARTMENT, set on
brackets made of fiat iron bars
fastened against the sides OF the cells
with bolts and nuts. One OF these it
was found. had been taken off.
which was easy to do without tools, and
had been used as a brace to pry the piece
out after it had been partically cut. The
Sheriff yesterday had these brackets re-
moved.s They almost seemed TO have been
put in to furnish assistance to prisoners
in some such way as that to which one was
put.
Nothing more has transpired of the four
prisoners still at large. The two who escaped
With Rick and took the direction of Silver
Bow are probably making their way south
by slow stages. The other two are suspec-
ted to be hiding in town concealed by

THE MINER is surprised and panied t.
see the stand taken by its esteemed co.
temporary, the Helena independent
In regard to the Helena Typographical
Union and work by printers on holidays
The position taken by THE MINER, thai
printers, as well as others, who Woik on
holidays are entitled 10 extra c0mpenSa-
tion, is enc which is In consonance with
the action of printers unions in most
sections of the country, and is in har-
m0ny with the general principle that
every person is entitled to make such use
Of his holidays as he sees proper, so long
as he does not infringe on the rights Of
another. Without extra compensation
he forfeits the privileges of the day by
placing it on a par with Others. and thus
is virtually compelled to. work which, he
could, by extra inducement, get another
whose opportunities make the holiday Of
no direct Importance to him. All-night
work is dragging. at the best, and it il
painful to find any employer insisting
that men must work every night in the
week, disregarding all holidays, and fol-
no extra inducement, but merely to
tickle the ayarice of an employer who il
ambitious of credit for enterprise. 1t is
this all-night, dragging work that makes
@subs" q necessity, as even those who take
the best of care Of themselves cannot
endure it steadily. Thus the sub is q
necessity, and his uncertain life leads
more or less to the yexation, annoyance
and even dissipation one too often sees
among the printers. Working one day
and "lOafing" two is not surely conducive
to the best Of morals, but the men who
are thus unfortunate, should not be toe
rashly and loosely condemned. TIL
MINER is not in sympathy with the I'm
dependents" position in this matter, mol
does it think the attack on the subs
whom it loosely characterizes as cramps
and bummers," is deserved at all. Among
the "tramps' and "subs" are the good
bad and Indifferent, the same as among
the writer's, and the workers in all fields
Of labor. In a general way, every person
who goes from one town to another tt
seek work is tramping, and every printer
is a SUBJ until he becomes a regular
and thus even the steadiest and best-be
haved member Of the Fart preservatiye'
was, at one time, a tramp" and a SUBJ
According to the Independent" all sucl
are "bummers," and they it is who arr
charged with managing the Helena
typographical Union. THE MINER doel
not believe the esteemed Independent
means all that Its words imply. 1t ha!
spoken hastily as well as rashly, and W,
trust it will be given an opportunity fol
doing justice to itself and its co-worker,
in the printers Union.

pool at the foot OF the precipice. The total
height is exactly 1OO4feet, which is claimed
to be one OF the highest waterfalls yet dis

Two Mothers.
On either side q window
That opened to the west,
They guarded each her treasure,
A cradle and a nest.
And always when at evening
Sank down the summer sun,
Four little heads were in the nest
Andin the cradle one.
Without the feathered mother
Kept faithful watch and ward;
Within, the human mother watched,
Above them watched the Lord.
And sitting there in silence,
Unbroken by q word,
There grew to be q bond between
The woman and the bird.
So that when each had Graded
Her offspring for the night,
She looked to see that all within
The other home was right.
There came q time OF storm without,
A time OF grief within;
The chair stood vacant, bare the twig
Where once q bird had been.
sNtrhen once more the window
open to the west,
Upon human face looked out
All. st,..ettered nest.
.p Even i, ssisi $ ny ~ hat bound them.
Are both homss asssss .eman cried,
While perched unseen abo~
Upon q woodbine spray, her
The small brown bird sat mou-
Whom she thought far away.
And, seeing but the empty crib,
The mother all alone,
She only chirped, Poor thing, poo
thing,
Her little one has fownln
The sun sunk down; forsaken
Hung either little bed;
The human guardian was gone.
The sentry bird had fed.
Yet still the Lord kept watch above.
To give his children rest:
His love was DER the empty crib
And DER the empty ness.
