Underwood IL Dead Wood.

Washington. June 9.-Less than a
dozen democrats were present when
the house was called to order to-day.
In explanation of the absence of demo-
Gratis, McMillin said the democrats did
not consider 1t their duty to furnish a
quorum to unseat another democrat.
The pending question was a motion TO
lay on the table the motion to recon-
slider the vote by which the house de-
cided to consider the election case Ct
Aldrich against Underwood The vote
resulted 92 to 81. being "a less than
quorum The sergeant -alt-arms was
directed to bring in the absences.
Daniel OF New York addressed the
house in favor of seating the contest
ant, Aldrich. The minority admitted
the returns were incorrect, but claim
ed the corrected returns still gave more
than 1000 majority. After the deoate
had run for half an hour. 1t was decid-
ed to prolong the debate to two hours
on a side.
Underwood. the contestee. spoke for
an hour in his own behalf. Linney,
republican, North Carolina in support
ing the cause of the contestant. gave a
picturesque denunciation of the elec-
tion frauds which he said were prac-
ticed in the South by the democrats.
He argued that the only place where
the wrongs committed could be cor
rected was in the house. Any attempts
to secure justice from the local courts,
he said. would be futile. Stallings
democrat, Alabama, who defended I'm
derwood's right to the seat. denounced
Linney's remarks as the dirtiest
abuse of his own section ever delivered
by white man."
When the time for debate expired,
Owens, democrat, Kentucky. moved to
recommit the case. The motion was
lost, 67 to %. The vote was then taken

YOUNG JAIL BIRDS
A PRISONERS ESCAPE FROM
THE DRUMMOND COOLER.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Philipsburg June 9.-There was a jail
delivery at Drummond about one week
ago, but in Difference TO the wishes OF
officers the matter has been kept quiet
until now In the hope that the prisoners
and the man who did the work on the
outside may be apprehended. II appears
that Bill Hanna. a 16-year-old boy who
served a short term in the Deer Lodge
Jail a year or SO ago for stealing a saddle
in Anaconda, was in kalispell this spring
and stole and sold some harness and
saddles there for which he was wanted
The sheriff at KalIspell telegraphed to
the officers here to arrest him. which
was done last week by Deputy Sheriff
Burt at Drummond. He was put In the
old Jail there and the Flathead officials
notified Of his arrest and an officer started
at once for Drummond, but in the even
ing before he reached there Hanna was
liberated.
Harry Woods, a friend Of Hanna's. who
lives at Bearmouth. heard of the boys
arrest and came up to Drummond. went
tosa livery stable and procured hack.
and. going to the jail. was in the act Of
pulling the staple on the door when seen
by the deputy sheriff there. who ordered
him to desst and go away. Woods went
away and got a gun and came back and
then quietly pulled the staple. let the boy
out, and they both ran away and the boy
has not been seen since. but Is probably
at or near his fathers ranch. a few miles
from Drummond.
From the best accounts OF the affair
Woods was very gentlemanly about IL all
and did not hurt nor molest the deputy
sheriff In any way. and withal so firm
that the deputy says that he could have
shot him easily enough. but he didn't
want to, preferring. perhaps, TO follow
the precedent In the matter Of Jail de-
liveries established here at the county
seat some months ago. Woods was in
Drummond one day since he went away
with Hanna. presumably for the purpose
of returning the pick he had borrowed
which he forgot to do on the night OF
the delivery. but the officers had no war
rant for him and were not sure that he
had committed a crime or OF their right
to arrest him. even II he had wanted 20
be arrested which he evidently did not.
as he only remained there few hours.
Ii is said now that the stock association
has taken the matter up and proposes,
IL possible, to find Hanna and turn him
over to the Flsthead county authorities.

daughter, who defended her mother and
gave the husband a deserved horse-whlp-
ping that compelled him 10 desist from
his assault on his wife. The trouble
seems TO have arisen over a trivial mat

commanded the wife to do something

struck her and knocked her down. lie
then choked her so that her throat Is
purple from the cruel clutches OF his I'm
gers. Not satisfied with this. he struck
her over the head with a mop handle. in
fiicttng a deep cut over the right eye.

and drove the man from the house.

NOW THE BOARD OF ALDERMEN

We take it for granted that some way
will be devised TO bring the report OF the
Gas Works Investigating COMMITTEES 70
the attention OF the Board OF Aldermen,
so that 1t may consider the charge against
AIR. Mann.
The public will not tolerate any trinins
In a matter such as this. The lnvesu-
eating Committee, which, under the lead
of MI. Gunst. did such valuable work In
probing into the affairs of the gas-works'
may be trusted, we believe, 10 place be-
fore the Board Of Aldermen a copy OF
their report, at least so far as 1t relates
TO the case Of Alderman Mann.
If we understand the matter Alright, the
contract that Mr.. Mann took at the gas
works was awarded to him because he
was the lowest bidder, and we take II
that there was no secrecy about 1t; yet IL
was a violation of the law, though the
openness of the transaction relieves II OF
the gravity that It would otherwise have
II is useless for the City Council to pass
laws IL it, or its members, are at liberty
IN disobey them. Councilmen ought
rather to lead the way in ready and
cheerful obedience to the laws-more es-
pecially to the laws of its own making.
So. we say the report of the Investi-
eating Committee should be gotten before
the Board Of Aldermen and should be
carefully considered by that body. The
discussion OF the report Will be educa-
tional
BY the merest accident frauds that had
been going on at the gas-works for many
wears were discovered at the death Of the
late Superintendent, and an investigation
has showed that the city loses by them
at least $4,000. The Superintendent was
trusted by everybody, and the Committee
ON Light. whose immediate and particular
duty IL was to see that the law was OBJ
served by the Superintendent, and that
nroper settlements were made by him.
failed in that duty; failed in 1t for years
and years through several successive
councils.
So much the Investigating Committee
has told US 1t has also told us that II
cannot but believe the city was subject
ed to losses which are so covered up as
TO be impossible of discovery now. SO, II
IS well that the public should know all OF
these things, and these facts cannot bt
better impressed upon the community
than by a discussion such as we have the
right to expect will occur in the Board OF
Aldermen upon the reception OF the re-

The Right Chandler by the Ear.

Chicago Times-Iierald)
The Bloomington Paragraph forgets
history long enough 10 say:
The Times-Herald has got the Chand-
lers badly mixed. 1t was the late Zach
Chandler OF Michigan, who took a
more or less prominent part in the count
OF Florida's electoral vote OF 1876. that
being the matter no doubt the Times
Herald alludes TO. Senator William L..
Chandler, OF New Hampshire, had no
thing to do with II.
For the information OF the Panta,

Chandler was the chairman OF the Ma
tional Republican Committee. The idea
OF securing the election by claiming Flo
rida and Louisiana for Hayes and
then taking steps to count their votes
that way originated with John c. Reid.
OF the New York Times. and was COM
municated by him at 6 O'Clock on the
morning after the election to William

A suggestion to this effect made by

favorably commented upon that we hope
the committee will adopt II, unless they
have some other scheme which will prove
more popular and entertaining.
For the purposes of this concert the
platform which viii be erected in Monroe

have the park and half dozen streets

an open air concert as this could be ar
