BUTTE, July 2s.-George Wager paid a
fine of 81 and costs in the police court to-
day for disturbing the peace Saturday
night at the corner of Main and Park
streets. As he hurled the necessary
amount To the clerk he said that he had
received more than the value Of the
money i'm the satisfaction the disturbance
had Afforded him.
According 10 his story. a few months
ago, when particularly hard pressed for
money late one night he ~hypothecated IA
valuable gold watch with a pawnbroker,
known AS Leo Hotter. receiving $40 ON the
collateral. In "a couple OF weeks after
ward he attempted To redeem bis
pledge and was informed by the
Polish gentleman in charge of the
shop that he was too late,
the watch had been sold. Since then
Wager claims 10 have made repeated de-
mauds ON Halter for the watch or its
equivalent. but was repulsed zach time.
Saturday night he met Halter and the
watch deal was again mentioned. a fact
that appeared to irritate the pawnbroker
who, IL Is alleged. began Ia use abusive
language toward the gentle. This made
Wager mad, and he gave the money
lender a severe drubbing. For this he
was fined to-day.

BUTTE, July 2s.-H. w. Adams, recently
general agent at this place for the Union
Pacific, which position he resigned to ac-
cept "A better one with the same company,
has made another change. When he left
here il was To go to Denver to accept the
Office Of general freight agent OF the gulf
division. His appointment. however, was
not received with much favor by one fac
ton of the management Of the company
and as a compromise he accepted the POI
sition of assistant general freight agent OF
the division, doing this to avert an open
rupture between the ~brass-collared gentle
men.
While accepting the secondary Office Mr..
Adams at the same time began TO plan
for n transfer, not caring to remain at
Denver as a subordinate to a man who
was filling a position To which he himself
had been appointed, but surrendered
solely for the purpose OF maintaining
peace. He accordingly applied for the
position of assistant freight and passen-
ger agent of the Mountain division, heat
quarters of which is at Salt Lake. s.
w. Eecks, who was recently appointed
general freight and passenger agent Of
this division, ably seconded Mr.. Adams

his assistance because OF the gem
tleman's ability and knowledge of the
business of that division. Their combined
efforts proved successful as announced in
a dispatch received FIR IN Mr.. Adams by
General Agent Maze yesterday evening in
which he stated his transfer to Salt Lake
had been ordered and that he would leave
Denver at once.
BY his removal to Salt Lake Mr.. Adams
once more becomes identified with Union
Pacific traffic in Montana, the Mountain
division beng composed of Montana,

The young man who stood al the end Of
the graduating class at West Point this
year appears 10 have the profound sym

were called 10 receive their diplomas in

\ Curious Prophecy.

From the Rocky Mountain Herald.
In August, 1867. the Bavarian Aiigeneine
Zeituag printed a remarkable prophecy,
which had been made by an old hermit
many years before.
In il the rise of Napoleon Ill. was clearly
outlined, as were also the Austro-Prussian
aud the Franco Prussian wars and the
commune of Paris. He told how the death
Of Pope Plus would occur i'm 1876 or 1877,
and how 1t would be followed by a Turko-
Russian war, being but slightly wrong ia
either prediction.
He said hat Germany would have three
emperors In one year before the end Of
the century. which was verified to the let
ter. He missed il once, at least i'm the
number OF United States presidents that
were to die by assassination, which was
remarkably close, 10 say the least.
He said that when the twentieth century
opened, Manhattan island and the whole
OF New York city would be submerged i'm
the waters Of the Hudson, East river and
the bay; Cuba will break il two and the
west half and the city Of Havana find "a
watery resting place.
Florida and Lower California are to
break loose from the main land and carry
their load OF human freight to the bottom
of the sea
The twenty-fifth is TO be the last of the
United States presidents, and Ireland is
to be n kingdom and England a republic
by the end of the century.
The United States are to be divided,an
San Francisco, Salt Lake City, New Or
leans, ST. Louis, Washington and Boston
are to be made capitals. There should be
some consolation the Mormons in this, IL
not FOR the other parts of our great union.
To return to Europe. The end of. the
century will not find either Italy or France
on the maps, and Berlin will have been
totally destroyed by an earthquake.

Levalire . Modified Pool and Allow DIFF
ferentfais to Weaker Roads.
NEW YORK, May Safeguarding the con-
ference OF Chairman Walker with various
saiiroac pssssaents. . local paper says: His
plan for reorganization OF the Interstate
Commerce Railway Association is pretty
well understood. He has seen about all the
railway presidents. and his intention in
visiting Washington. one OF them said to-
day. Was to get Senator Cullom to have the
proposed amendments to the interstate
commerce law so changed as 10 require
railroads to divide up competitive business.
He would have this done either by sys-
tenn Of difIerentials or by the allotment of
Q certain percentage of business to each in
specified territory, the percentage to be adj
iusted as occasion may demand. This is
next door to pooling. If not pooling itself.
but pooling permits arbitrary districting OF
traffic, thus destroying competition.
President Ashley, Of the Wabash. has
had talks with both Walker and Jay Gould
since he returned from his southwestern
trip, and gave q reporter some hints as to
their opinions on reorganization OF the
interstate association, as well as some OF
his own ideas. Il believe" said Ashley.
''fhcsolution OF the trouble is to form some
agreement which all companies will feel il
Is for their interest TO keep. and which will
take away the provocation for cutting
rates. This can be done by granting
weaker roads advantages in the way of diff
ferentials. on general principles. The road
having the longest mileage between two
given points should be allowed to make
the lowest rate. Walker and Gould both
agreed in this. Give the weaker Zines
satisfactory percentage of business and
they will have no provocation for cutting
rates. / do not think that any system OF
penalties will work. The work of reoygani-
cation is slow. There will be an informal
meeting of presidents Monday in Chicago
TO talk over the matter. Passenger rates
will probably be restored first, and the
