SETTLED THE TROUBLE
The McQuillans Are Once Again
Living Happily.
HE MUST BEHAVE HIMSELF
Mrs. McQuillan Agrees to Drop the
Prosecution on Condition That Her
Husband Conduct Himself
Properly in the Future.

The troubles of the McQuillan fam
lily, the story of which appeared in the
Standard yesterday morning, have once
more been amicably adjusted. and hus-
band and wife are united and are once
again happy in each others love. The
conditions upon which Mrs. McQuillan
agreed to drop the prosecution against
her husband are that the latter shall
refrain henceforth from his shameful
Treatment of her.
The settlement was chiefly brought
about through the efforts of Attorney
Goodman, who had been retained to de-
fend McQuillan. When Mrs. McQuillan
appeared at the city hall at the hour set
for the trial of her husband it was so
contrived that the husband and wife
should be brought together in the jury
room. Here the troubles of the family
were talked over freely and it was
finally agreed that Mrs. McQuillan
should drop the prosecution on condi-
tion that McQuillan behave himself in
the future. McQuillan started in to JUS
tify his actions of the previous day, but
he was soon shut up by his attorney.
who told him few truths in plain Ian
guage. Mrs. McQuillan said that she
was willing to be a party to the recon-
Citation, but stipulated that at the first
sign of a recurrence of the husbands
abuse she would take her children and
go home to her people, and would never
again return.
Upon this agreement being reached
the party repaired to the court room,
where another lecture was in store for
McQuil1an. Judge Fitzgerald expressed
himself in a manner not to be mistaken
and said that while he would accept the
settlement this time. that the very next
time McQuillan got into trouble, the
prosecution would be prompt and vigor-
Gus. regardless of whether his wife ap-
peared against him or not. McQuillan
received the remarks of the court with
a humble air and promised to behave
himself in the future, whereupon the
costs We're assessed against the COM
planning witness, and the two departed
with great hopes for the future.

THE FIREMEN'S BALL.
Turn Halle Packed to the Doors by the
Dancers.

Turn Halle Packed to the Doors by the
Dancers.
The principal event of. New Years eve
was the ball given by the Lower Works
firemen at Turn Halle. The mere an
nouncement of a ball under the aus
Dices of the Lower Works fire depart
ment is sufficient to crowd any hall in
the city. This has been the case for
years and last nights event was no eX-
ception to the rule, but was rather a
more decided demonstration of the pop
ularity of these occasions.
Long before the hour at which it had
been announced that the ball would be-
gin the hall was crowded and each mo-
ment added to the large number al
ready present. During the fore part of
the evening the hall was rather too
crowded for comfortable dancing, but
toward midnight many went home and
after that the affair became more en-
joyable.
The spectacle presented to one in the
balcony was delightful one. The floor
below filled with throng, moving IN
graceful harmony with the strains of
the music, the handsome men, the ele-
gantly gowned ladies', here and there a
white-shirted and blue-capped fireman,
all served to imprint on the mind of
him who looked on, the beauty of the
scene. The hall was handsomely deco
rated and this fact added its quota to
the brillancy of the occasion. The
numbers on the programme were many
in number and unsurpassed in selection.
AT the announcement of each number
the floor would be instantly filled with
hundred couples, eager for the music
to begin. The ball can safely be said to
have been the most successful of the
season, both in point of attendance and
from a standpoint of enjoyment. 1t
continued long into the morning and
when it became imperative that the
dancers must leave they did so with the
greatest reluctance.
The success of the ball is greatly due
to the faithful efforts of the various
committees. On. the committee of ar
rangements, consisting of Charles Boy
Ian, Dan Harrington, Joe Dee, Mike
Fitzgerald and Elijah Porter, fell the
burden of preparation, and well was it
attended to. The floor committee did
its work in a most admirable manner
and the entire department, acting as a
reception committee, made every visitor
feel entirely at home.

TWO MORAL DRAMAS.
The Old Favorite of the American Peo-
pie at the Union Family.

The Old Favorite of the American Peo-
pie at the Union Family.
Beginning Monday, Jan. 3, the Union
Family theater stock company will pre-
sent two dramas whose titles are a
household word throughout the United
States. The first four nights Uncle
Toms Cabin with all the special
scenery and a great cast will be given
in every detail. Two Marks and two
Topsies will supply the fun, and Eva,
the angel child, will surely please the
children. while the sufferings of poor
Uncle Tom will appeal to the sympa-
thies of the audience. A special matt
nee of Uncle Toms Cabin" will be
given on Saturday afternoon for the
children.
The remainder of the week will be
filled in with that great moral lesson
Ten Nights in Barroom." This is the
greatest temperance drama ever writ
ten, and should be seen by every child
on his way to manhood. A matinee of
Ten Nights in a Barroom' will be
given Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock
for the benefit of families who cannot
attend the evening performances. Pop
ular prices will prevail during this en-
gagement.
Last night the society drama, "A So
ciety Flirt," was presented to a good
house. The performance is one of merit
and the characters were well taken.
The play will run the remainder of this
week.

SCALCHI TONIGHT.
The Great Contralto VIII Delight the
Music-Loving Public.

Music-Loving Public.
! Nine. Scalchi and her associate art
lists Will be here at the Margaret thea
ter tonight. Nine. Scalchi is without
doubt the best artist in the musical
world. 1t is a fact that no other artist
has had the success that has followed
this great contralto throughout her
career. When only very young girl
she started in her native city of Ber-
gamo, and at once made an immense
hit. She was only 16 years of age when
her mother consented, after much per-
SuaSlon, to let her make her first APP
pearance in public. The girls voice,
even at so early an age, was considered
something out of the common, and after
her first appearance she was engaged
for the year. At the early age of 81
she was engaged by Colonel Mapleson
at an immense salary to sing in Lon
don at the Drury Lane theater. which
was then the Imperial opera house. The
London critics at the time laughed at
the colonel for his promise to bring be-
fore them the youngest and best con-
fraito they had ever heard. Scalchi
made her first appearance in London
with Therese Tietjens and scored an
enormous success. The older artist
had to take the young girl before the
curtain no less than 10 times, and for
ID years thereafter, and in spite of the
great salary she always commanded.
Scalchi was the prima donna of Lon
don. no matter who the manager of the
opera house was.
Scalchi has for some years divided
her time between London and New
York. Owing to the fact that there is
TO be no grand opera in New York this
season the people of the West will be
enabled to hear not alone the greatest
contralto of the world, but also Mile
Marie Toulinguet, who, at the head of
the Mapleson forces last year. created
"a sensation by her magnificent singing
and the wonderfully powerful voice of
which she is possessed. Mile Marie Du
Bedat, mezzo soprano: Thomas Nc
Queen, tenor; Sig. Albert, baritone, and
Sig. Gallia, musical director. are also
members of the company. All of the
artists will appear in a miscellaneous
concert, and aside from this will give
one act of grand opera with full scene
ry, costumes, paraphernalia, etc.

THE COLORED PEOPLE.
A Most Enjoyable Time Was Had at the
Auditorium.

The colored people of the city gave
New Years eve ball at the Auditorium
on West Park avenue, and a most
pleasant affair it was. The crowd was
not what had been expected. as many
of the coored people had been COM
PEELED to be at work until a late hour.
A number had been expected down
from Butte, bat the late train brought
but few. This fact. however, did not
in any way detract from the enjoyment
of those who did attend, and the even
ing heightened into night and night into
morning before the dancers departed
for their homes.
The programme contained 81 num-
bers, each and every one of which was
chosen with care. At II o'clock an in
remission of 20 minutes occurred for
luncheon, after which the merriment
was resumed. When, at length, the
orchestra played Home, Sweet Home"
the dancers went home with light and
happy hearts. The committees in
charge of the affair We're as follows:
Committee on arrangements-T. J.
Jefferson, Gean Pryor, G. Lucas.
Fioor manaagers-H. Brown, L. r.
Reception committee-Frank Hail. H.
Losha.
quartette of excellent voices sere-
naded the Standard at about 1890
o'clock. The rendition of the songs was
worthy of commentator. The voices
We're all of high quality, and it is sin
cerely regretter that the gentlemen did
not remain until a betting recognition
OF fheir good will could have been
made. As it was. they left SO suddenly
that not even their names could be
learned. 1t may be said, however. thar
the serenade was none the less appre-
ciated.
There appeared to be but little claim
jumping in the hills about the city last
evening. Claim jumping is almost an
inevitable feature of New Years eve,
but this year il seems that all the
claims in this vicinity had been so we'll
looked after that there was little posi-
bility Of jumping.

The Case Against Duncan Mckenzie Con-
tinued to Monday.

Duncan Mckenzie, who is known to
the police as an all-around no-good,
was arrested by officer O'Brien on
Thursday night in the NJ. & NJ. saloon.
and a charge of Vagrancy placed
against him. He was up before Judge
Donoghue last evening for a hearing.
The prosecution was conducted by
County Attorney Goodman and McKen-
zie defended his own case. The state
introduced testimony to show that
Mckenzie had at one time been caught
in the act of going through drawers in
Conley's saloon, where some knives
We're kept, and that one of the knives
had been missed when he left.
Mckenzie said that he was working
man, and that he had worked in the
Hesperus mine in Butte until last
Wednesday, when he came to Ana
conda to see his brother on business.
He had met some of the boys and got
to drinking, and failed to see his
brother. He had intended going to
work at a restaurant in this city, but
was prevented from doing so by his
arrest. At the conclusion of the tes-
timony Judge Donoghue said ne would
continue the case until next Monday
evening, and in the meantime he would
make some Investigations on his own
hook. Mckenzie was then taken back
to Jail.

A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
McSear Comes Near Passing in His
Checks mt the Jail.

Checks mt the Jail.
Early yesterday morning Officers In
gals and Bosanitch arrested fellow
by the name of McNear and took him
TO the city jail. MeNear is a morphine
fiend of the most confirmed character.
and for some time past he has been
hanging around saloons and appeared to
be out of his mind. He would mutter
to himself and make all sorts of peculiar
gesticulations, and finally yesterday
morning the proprietor of one of the
Lower Main street resorts called the at
tention OF the officers to McNear's Pc
culiar actions.
When he was taken to jail he seemed
to be in a very bad way. A doctor was
summoned, who prescribed for him. and
he will likely be all right in a day or
so. II Is probable McNear took a little
too much Of the ins!dious drug yester-
day, and as result he came mighty
close to being a corpse at this time.
