Mayors Appointments May be
Confirmed Tonight.
EIGHT ALDERMEN IN LINE
And One on the Fence.-Bellipere nts
Will Filibuster--The
Municipal Slate

If every alderman is present at to-
nights meeting of the council the dead
lock between the eight belligerent alder
men n Mayor Mccarthy will be broken
and the mayors nominations for the va
rious positions within his gift will be con-
firmed. by reason of the fact that eight
aldermen will vote against and eight al
dermen for confirmation. Then, exercis-
ing the right given him by Section 47S2
of the Political Code, which reads: 'The
mayor is the presiding officer of the coun-
Gil, and must signs the journals thereof
and all warrants of the city treasurer,
and decide by his vote all ties, and has
no other vote,'' his honor will cast the de-.
Gliding vote and the nominees will be con-
firmed.
1t is said, however, that the obstruc-
zionist aldermen will resort to flibuster-
ing tactics in order to defeat the mayor,
and will range that one of their num-
Der shall not be present. If this is the
case the vote for confirmation will be
eight and the vote against confirmation,
seven. This would deprive the mayor of
the opportunity to put in the necessary
ninth vote. The necessity of this ninth

any contract, and the voting on the cleo
ton or appointment Of any officer must
be viva voce and a majority of the whole
number OF the members elected is reQui-
site to appoint or elect an officer, and
such vote must be recorded"
Among the aldermen who will vote for
confirmation are: Elderkin, republican,
and Ferns, Kelly, Knowlton, Macarthur,
Medin, Paige and Smith, democrats. 1t
is stated at the city hall, on most excel
lent authority, that another alderman
who heretofore has been voting with the
obstructionists, may cast his vote to-
night for the opening of the municipal
j~ack-pOt-the confirmation of the mayors
nominees. If this is so the complex stu

miss the fun.
If, at the converting of the council to-
is apparent that the administra-
ton has the whip hand and can muster
sufficient strength to vanquish the OBJ

ably select his corps of officials from city
clerk to poundmaster, and there is much
speculation m city hall officialdom as to
who the various nominees will be. Will

THE K|NDERS
ARE RELEASED
JUDGE CLANCY MAKES THE ORDER
IN OPEN COURT.

J. w. Kinder and his wife Hannah, who
have been in the county Jail since last
August, were released from custody to-
day on an order from Judge Clancy.
The Kinders, it will be remembered,
were convicted of grand larceny and sem
fenced to two years in the pe%nitentiary,
but the case was appealed to the supreme
court and that body held that as no tes-
timony to show the guilt of Kinder had
been submitted at the trial, an error had
been made. A new trial was ordered, but
neither the county attorney nor anyone
else desired to further prosecute the pris-
oners and it was decided to dismiss the
action. Last evening they were brought
into court for that purpose, but a slip
in the proceedings occurred and they
We're taken back to their quarters to
wait until the clouds rolled a little fur
Their along. Afterwards Mr.. Connolly
saw the Council firm. from which the
goods found at the Kinder house are al
legged to have been stolen, and ascer-
tanned that no further prosecution would
be made. The firm did not want the
charge dismissed-it wished to have it
left in such shape that it could be re-
kindled. This of course could not be
done; so his7Morning when Judge Clancy
opened his department the prisoners were
on hand and an order for their discharge
was entered. In asking for the dismissal
the county attorney said he had made all
the investigation he cared to in the mat
ter.
The Judge told the prisoners they had
, been lucky in their case; that while the
supreme court thought there were good
grounds for a charge of grand larceny
against the woman, there was nothing
against the man. 1t was doubtful, the
Judge said. if a case of grand larceny
could be made to stick against the wo.
man, but she could be convicted of petit
larceny and they could give it to you ir
broken dOses,' he added, keeping yol
in Jail for years. I am not disposed tt
continue this prosecution. You are boil
discharged"
And both left the room.

three minutes, probably, five minutes, at
ter the first assault-after he had been re-
leased. The question was objeetcd to on
the ground that it was incompetent be-
AUS the state was e~rdeavoring to im-
peach its " witness. Before the objec.
not testified to It. He was shown 4 type
written copy of his testimony taken at
the c~oroner's inquest. but he denied its
correctness. He also asserted that he
had worked rou asylums and heard
men bawl who had lost their senses.
Neary. he alleged, bawlcd Xix n OF
them.
the blow was that Murray struck Neary,
Fox answered that he did not catch it's
weight. but he himself would not like to
HAYS it. He further said that so far as
he knew no words had passed between
Neary and Murray prior to the first as
sault.
When Fox had finished his testimony
Neary took a fresh chew of tobacco and
DR.. MacNevin was recalled to answer a
few questions concerning the dying
declaration of Murray. Mr.. Cotter MAIN
tanned that the doctor could not legally
tell what he said to Murray n what
Murray said to him and his position was
favored by the court. Mr.. Connolly then
made a written offer on what he expected
to prove by the physician, submitting it
in tur to the witness, counsel for the
defense and the court. Another objection
was made and an argument reaching
from II to 1885 was launched, but 1t re-
suited in a decision for the prosecution.
The witness said that before Murray
died he had told him he could not live
and had better make a dying statement.
Murray answered that he would. This
had occurred two or three hours before
death ensued and beforehand he had re-
quested the others present to leave the
room.
E. j. Groeneveld, pastor at the First
Presbyterian church. testified that he
knew Alexander Murray; that Murray
was not a member of the church, but Of
the congrcgation-he frequently attended
the services On the fourth day after the
stabbing witness aid he had been called
to see Murray. While in the presence of
the wounded man the dying statement
of Murray had been taken by Mr.. Nc
Donald and himself. He identified a opy
of the statement and said the original
had been req over to Murray.
At this point ar adjournment for the
noon hour was taken.

A NOTABLE EVENT.

It is hard to meet anybody these days
who is not going to the opera house to-
morrow evening to Sc the scores of pretty
children, lovely goddesses, and comical
COLLINS, who take part in the charming
operetta Triumph Of Love-" The best
talent of Butte is represented in the cast,
and as the operetta itself is said to be one
of the most charming arrangements of
plot and harmony ever placed in amateur
hands, it goes without saying that Butte
will keep up the standard. The Butte per-
Torrance will be the 153d as managed by
Mrs. E. V. Neumayer, who owns the
copyright, and always superintends the
production of the operetta.
The ladies will have exclusive use Of

days and Fridays with specially trained
female attendants, Al N. Main.

readily observe that the oaths are dia-

all of which means that the rules are
printed-or written-and might possibly
fall into the hands of one not a member

as the Chinese express it, from mouth to

real objects of the society amount to.
a very well informed Chinese said:
''You can hardly blame these poor crea-
lures for banding together for mutual

Points Of q Good Cot.

A good cat-the kind you want to have
in the house, if any-will have a round,
stubby, pug nose, full, fat cheeks and up
per lip; we'll developed bump on the top
of the head between the ears, betokening
good nature. A sleepy cat that purrs
good deal is apt to be playful and good
natured.
BY all means to be avoided is a cat with
thin, sharp nose and twitching ears. 1t
must be remembered also that a good
mouser is not necessarily a gentle or de-
sirable pet. Although any good cat will
catch mice if she is not Overfed, quick,
full expressive eyes generally betoken

The greatest mistake-and probably the
most common one-in the care of domestic
cats is overfeeding, particularly too much
meat. In the wild life cat has exercise
which enables her to digest food. In the
lazy house life the same full feeding leads
to stomach troubles and to fits

His Tomb Finished I'm Time.

New York. July 13.-When Sena-
tor Sanford of the Dominion Parlia-
ment, the Chauncey III. Depew of
Canada, the richest man IN the Do
minion and friend of Queen Victoria,
had constructed by O. E. Tayntor of
229 Broadway a mausoleum costing
$4,000 fate seems to have been one
of the chief workmen.
The monument was finished last
Saturday. On Monday a represen-
tative of the New York firm that
built the monument, and Senator
Sanford were, by special engagement,
to visit the cemetery and inspect the
completed structure. That morning
the Senator went fishing in one of
the lakes on his big estate at Hamil-
ton, Ontario, and was drowned. A
young woman who was with him
was also drowned.
The Senator had taken great pride
in this mausoleum, in which he in
tended placing the bodies of his two
sons. His wife and daughter have
been in Europe and arranged in
Paris for a beautiful stained glass
window for the mausoleum.
