KSdLrsu LAW AND DRuSKARDs.


The British Parliament has before IL the
report OF n committee recommending a much
more drastic method OF dealing with drunk.
ards than British law now permits This
committee was appointed under the Salisbury
government, and has among its members
several eminent physicians and the Superin-
tendent OF the Broadmore Criminal Insane
Asylum. Under an net passed In 1879 there
were established some retreats or reform.
atoT:es for the treatment and care OF drunk
ards who choose to 20 TO them voluntarily
This committee, according TO the Springfield
Republican, finds that u considerable portion
OF the drunkards who enter these reform.
atories are cured, and that more would DO II
they would remain longer therefore, they
recommend that Parliament give magistrates
the power to send these dipsomaniacs TO
these retreats for period not exceeding two
years. This commitment may bo made on
petition oftho relatives OF the inebriate or AT
the discretion OF tho magistrate. and II sub.

ards, with whom the police have to deal, are

which shall not be less than a year, upon the
third conviction for drunkenness within
twelve months, or on being proved guilty OF
ill-treatment or neglect OF their families. IL
Is also proposed TO give the police In the
large towns and cities the power to arrest
without a warrant all persons found drunk
on the public streets or In public places and
lock them up until they can be tried before u
magistrate. These last suggestions OF the
committee are regarded as bold and almost
revolutionary, for the right OF the Briton to
be drunk on the streets has been regarded ms
an inalienable one. Public sentiment Is said
however, TO approve the recommendations
OF this committee, which aro largely based
on the legislation in force in several OF our
States, and they are likely to be enacted by
the Commons and probably by the Lords
also.

THE CHILCAT CANNERY FIRE.
Result of an Old Feud Between the
Indiana and the Gamers.

The burning of the Chilcat canuery, at Chill
cat, Alaska, which was briefly announced in
yesterdays OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, was due to
the Chilcat Indians, who were having a wild
orgie aud took this means of venting their
hatred of the whites.
The fire occurred about O'Clock on the morn
ing of December H. For three weeks before the
Indians, OF whom there are about 1900 IN the
peighborhood, had been drinking hard, and on
the night in question they were carousing and
yelling as only Indians can. The canuery sud-
denly burst into flames, and in a very short
time the building. with the machinery, boats
and the whole outfit, was destroyed. The
country was frozen up and covered with snow,
SO shat the white men remaining there. r.
Lindsay. one OF the proprietors, aud United
States Deputy Marshal Dalton-were powerless
to do anything to save ii. The cannery had a
capacity of 5000 and the loss is estimated
at $4,000. 1t was owned by Samuel H. Perrin,
who was the manager, and Mr.. Lindsay
The firing OF the cannery is due to chronic
feud between the Indians and whites, the for
mer accusing the whites of encroaching on
their fishing grounds, although the cauneres
are their chief means of support, the one at
Chieat having spent about $4,000 among them
the last season. Most of this money is spent
for whisky. II the Indians cannot buy il from
smugglers they make it themselves from mo-
lasses, malt hops and potatoes.

At yesterdays meeting of the board of public
WORKS Mr. wilson, superintendent OF the water
system, called attention to the fact that while
the bond required for his office was only $1,000.
ne had $4,000 surety. He considered that Of
hcers OF the city who handled money should
give ample security, and suggested that his own
BOND be raised. On motion OF Mr.. Cochran the
oond for superintendent of water works was
nxed at 1900. Later on Secretary Heifner
called the matter up generally, giving legal
opinion that all bonds of sappoinsees under the
board should be renewed, ~ their terms under
the charter expired on December 81. After con-
siderable discussion 1. was decided that all
appointees under the board furnish new bonds.

was TO the effect that certain materials

building. corner of Front and Columbia streets,
should lave been delivered by the plaintiffs on
August l. lss9. but was not in fact delivered
until nearly December Of thar year. In conse-
quencc OF this delay the building was not com
pleted until about June /, 1890, whereas If the
plaintiffs bad delivered the material according
TO their contract 1t would have been finished

There was also testimony to the effect that

that this no. only caused them much loss of

The defendants claimed that on account OF this

that they, the defendants, were entitled TO q

BOYD'S MURDERESS VERY ILL.
Her Hearing Continued Because She
Could Not Anpear.

The hearing in the case of Ursula Juanita Tn
fug, commonly known Mrs Boyd charged
with killing Thomas Henderson Boyd on De-
eember at SO James street, was yesterday con-
tinued by Justice Won Tobel to February on
the ground that the defendant was too i'll to ap-
! pear in court.
Owing 10 the reported condition of Mrs. Boyd
Justice Won Tobel had consented to hold the
hearing at the county Jail. This no doubt had
a great deal TO do with keeping away the crowd
that would have gathered had the case been
called In the justice court After preliminary
talk as TO whether the hearing should be held
in the woman's department., where the fair de-
fendant is confined, or in the jailer's office, the
latter place was selected aud Justice Won Tobel
took his seat. Attorney William Martin ap
peared for Mrs. Boyd, while Assistant Prosecut-
ing Attorney A. c. Mcbride and Deputy Prose-
cutting Attorney Melvin G. Winstock had charge
OF the case for the state. The majority of
those present were the witnesses subp9naed by
the state. Mrs. j. H. Kennedy. at whose house
Mrs. Boyd roomed and where the shooting
occurred, and Mrs. Frank II. Reed, whose room
was across the hail from the scene of the shoot
ing, occupied seats at the south end OF the room,
both dressed in black.
At first Attorney Martin moved that the de-
PENDANT be discharged on the ground that the
court lost jurisdiction by holding a hearing
elsewhere than at the regular place. The
motion was overruied. and then ne moved for a
continuance, stating that the defendant was In
a weak aud critical condition and unable to
appear. In support of this statement he intro
duced DIR. Crichton, who was sworn and testi-
fed that ne had attended Mrs. Boyd since the day
eftec her arrest. He said that for week or ten
DAYS Mrs. Boyd had given signs OF a miscarriage
and had suffered labor pains. She was very weak
from mental and physical suffering, and he did
not think she could safely undergo the excite
ment of hearing He had given orders that
she remain perfectly quiet ana in bed until
there was q change in her condition. To the
best OF his belief he did not think she would be
able to appear in court within thirty days.
Attorney Mcbride asked him if the hearing
could not be conducted with safety in the cell of
the defendant 10 which the doctor replied that
his orders had been against allowing any one N
the cell. aud he satisfied III his own mind
that the woman was in too critical condition
for the hearing.
Mr. Mcbride said he had no reason to force
hearing II the justice was satisfied with tho
statements regarding the condition of Mrs.
Boyd. The justice. after some elaboration.
granted "a continuance to February at 80
O'Clock. The rolI call for witnesses was then
read and the court dismissed. The case. when

SARAH N'DoNOUGH's PETITIONS.
Mayor Ronald Feared Them No More
Than Those of . Hundred Others.


The hearing of testimony in the case of Sarah
McDonough Va. II. McQnIlkan and others, for
false Imprisonment and malicious prosecution,
occupied the whole day in Judge Humes' court
yesterday
An enormous amount of evidence was intro
duced by the defense to show that Mrs. Melon
ough was insane and that many of her injuries
and losses were entirely imaginary. Among
those who testified were Mayor Ronald and
Junius Rochester. Mayor Ronald said that he
had known Mrs. McDonough for some time and
that he considered her eccentric. but not insane.
He said that he had been buttonholed by her on
several occasions and begged to sign petitions
When asked il he had not also met the same
fate at the hands of politicians, the mayor ad-
mtted that he hal. but added that he would
rather meet Mrs. MeDonough on the street with
petition In her hand than a hundred inhabi.-
ants OF this town, whom he could mention,
under the same circumstances
Junius Rochester's testimony was to the
effect that he had seen Mrs. McDonough besisge
the mayor with petitions, and that in fact he
had egged her on. Mayor Ronald had left the
room before this testimony was elected.
Dinsmore, one OF the defendants, testified
that he was present at the time that McQuiIken
found one of his chickens in Mrs. McDonough's
house. and succeeded in Identifying it, al
though the fowl was not only dead but stripped
OF all its feathers.
The case was concluded and went 10 the Jury

1t is more than probable that the revival
services at Trinity Methodist church will be
continued next week, as the interest is zncreas-
ing rather than diminishing. DR.. Wilson. after
nearly a week OF arduous labor, is in excellent

and are constantly deepening in interest. There

hearers. She preached from the text: AZ will
