The Denver Times of Monday says: W. p.
Burgess, son OF the Rev. Burgess, a retired min
lister OF East Cleveland, arrived in Denver last
night in search of his wife and G. F. stein who
eloped together and were traced TO the Gilsey
house, In this city. Immediately upon his ar
rival here Mr.. Burgess caused warrants to be is
sued for their arrest, but during the past few
days the woman has skipped and only Stein fell
into the grasp of the officers, and IL now behind
the bars at the city Jail. Stein had left the Gill
sey house and was stopping at 1,i39 Cleveland
place when arrested last night. He claims that
Mrs. Burgess left few days ago for Seattle to
visit a sister of hers, who is living there. Mrs.
Burgess is mourned for by her friends in Cleve-
tees of her death at Tacoma, Wash,
were published in the Cleveland papers
Mr.. Burgess says he received kilograms
notifying him of his wife's death and
burial and caused the notices to be published,
but he was suspicious and began an investiga-
ton, which resulted in his locating her and
Stein together. Mr.. Burgess is a travelling man,
and while away from home his wife left, osten-
sibly to visit her sister in Seattle This was
August %, and it was but two weeks later that
notices of her death were published. Stein,
who was formerly teller in the National Ex-
change band of Columbus, o., admits that he
has been living with the woman here. He says
that after leaving her husband she came to him,
and as he was starting for Denver they came to-
gether and put up al the Gilsey man and wife,
He was here in search of employment and car
ries letters OF recommendation. Burgess denies
the assertion that his wife bore a bad reputation
prior to her eIopment. He further states that he
will prosecute the parties for adultery and also
make application for divorce from his vile.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.
An Engineer Relates why He Was Dis
charged.

The principal business before the board OF
public works es.erday was the communication
received from Mr.. Allen, who until the Goth of
October. was employed as an engineer at the
Lake Union pumping station. He was present
and said that until the 26th he worked at the
station, and that on this date Chief Engineer
Kelly told him that he understood that he was
'kicking" about working twelve hours per day,
and so had procured another man to take his
place. The chief engineer himself had not
stood a watch as required by the retrenehment
ordinance. He therefore put in claim for pay
for five days of eight hours overtime showing
at the same time that he had worked fifteen
days of eight hours and ten DAYS OF twelve
hours, making as stated five days work for
which he received no pay.
Being questioned by Mr.. Hebron, Mr. Allen
said he knew of no other cause for his being dis
charged than that he objected 10 working over
time without pay.
The matter was taken under consideration to
come up at the next meeting of the board.
Superintendent Compton brought up the sub
iect of powder boat He said that the firms
interested would make ii an object to the city to
provide a safe receptacle for gunpowder. The
complaints against the location of the present
powder-house We're reviving, and some new pro-
visions must be made he WAS instructed to
confer with interested merchants.

FOUGHT WITH AN AXE.
Desperate Conflict Between Millmen at
Port BIakeley.


Charles ID. Lemon, employed at the Port Blake
ley mill. was brought to Providence hospital
yesterday suffering from an ak cut in the left
foot, maliciously inflicted by Sandy Garrett, a
fellow workman.
The cause of the assault dates back to the time
OF Captain William Renton's death, when a dis
agreement between the two men resulted in
Garrett throwing pike pole at
Lemon, and being served the same
in return. Last Thursday night Lemon was
getting logs from the boom into position to be
drawn up into the mill. Garrett objected to the
manner in which Lemon chose the logs and
stated his objections in plain manner. His
enemy remarked that Foreman O'Hara had
given him orders and he should obey them.
Hot words ensued and a hand-to-hand conflict
ensued on the boom. Lemon had Garrett down,
when some of the workmen pulled him away.
Once more the conflict was renewed and both
men rolled off into the water. After nsidera-
bic sputtering the men got up on tho log, and
Garrett picked up an axe and threw il at Lemon.
The blade struck his left foot about the instep,
cut broad cash in the shoe and cleft the flesh
to the bone. Lemons wrath was terrible, and
only weakness from the loss of blood, the en-
treaties OF his wife and the absence OF his re-
volver prevented further trouble.

HALLOWEEN TONIGHT.
Something of the Ceremonies I'm c.
bratfon of the Feast,

bration OF the Feast.
Tonight will be Halloween, the evening of
Halowmas or All Saints Day. The festival is
one about which a multitude of traditions and
customs-many of them handed down from
pagan times-cluster. All Saints Day and often
Halloween are of course observed by the
churches, but there are many observanees which
do not seem to have any special religious char
acter. In olden times 1t was supposed that the
fairies were particularly active on Halloween
and the superstitious would endeavor
by charms and ceremonies to win
the favor OF these supernatural beings
or to find out secrets from them 1t is on Hal
lowe'en that madens would ask the fairies for
fortune in love, etc. 1t is not many years ago
that on this evening bonfire was lighted by
every household OF England and Scotland, and
in remoter regions the practice is still kept up
In this country the celebration is mainly kept
in the hands of the small boys, who build bon
fires, carry off gates and play such pranks as
they can devise to annoy staid citizens. The
